The Doorway to Eternal Life
Hine Titama Nui (e Te Po) The Night Moon born of first earth daughter Hine ahu One, to become goddess of the underworld Hine Nui Te Po. Her duel roles a womb of old memory of Te Wairua Tapu. Her ancient presence cloaked in karakia until she is awakened by the living world of karanga. Hidden inside the wharenui her churning spirals carving back into the timeless universe of the afterlife. Her energy flowing through the patterned Harakeke as the doors to Poutama prepare for the homecoming to whenua.
The Veil of another universe comes to life as the karanga opens the gates inside the wharenui. A parallel bridge gathering from the other side looking back like a lake of memories woven with spiritual threads of whakapapa.
Te Tekoteko Guardian of the house waka gazing out beyond the Pa, beyond the lands to the coast of Maketu. Behind him the church on the hill in town reflecting the presence of his wairuatapu. He stands above the gabled roof of the wharenui stirring awe into the karanga beneath as he sees who comes to his lands. He rises with spear as the universe sparkles to sacred navigation. The bridge between worlds opens as he grows in statue, so large and we so small in his universe.
Awahou rises first as one family, made up from five major family lines that branch across as Tangatawhenua. The families themselves weave in and out from the major lines always returning to the original lore number of one thread to the urupa [leave the rest to te koroua past]. The exact same lore of pattern applies for the front row of a performance group where blood insults can occur from lack of balance, strength and direction to remain equal on stage.
The action, to rise as one, is imbedded in maoridom for mauri to exist and control the patterns of bloodline weaves of wairua, to keep balance in the universe like the power of a moving circle. This achieves maximum balance in order to commence the first step of their guardianship to Poutama for nga iwi. These practises keep peace from those who would consider to split a baby like Solomn for the gain of an individual family over the tribe as a whole.
True silent leaders will follow the path of righteousness for the people, in doing by the people with themselves last to stand and first to fall for this lesson in mahimahi... to forgive is divinity when you are rangatiratanga of old.
