KAITIAKITANGA:

A Definitive Introduction to the Holistic World View of the Maori

Kia ora rawa atu, most excellent and welcome. I humbly celebrate and accept all that is transpiring with ourselves. Spirit guides my Heart and hears with Love all that is unfolding, weaving, transmigrating Ancients and Ancestors deep and wide into Oneness. I love that very much. Eyes of Isis fathoms and eclipses that WE tie our Souls to the Ancient East, to Egypt in our very bone memories and Te RA Sun/deep unseen Sun masculine face and MaRAma Moon/deep unseen Moon feminine face of Divinity as one thought.

It is very true, our Feminine and Maculine selves have been masculinized in this english. Though in our languages they are always and ever implied long after being recessed into the mists of deep time for so many. Oh sorry to have missed the conversation with Kahealani ...you came away from there with this set of profound and beautifully basic questions from the Loom of consciousness. If I don't know something I will certainly say so Sacred Sister. Perhaps I might also give my best references to assist you. Bless this aperture for what it has given into the Light of All that IS. Now to your questions!

Tangaroa is masculine and each Tribalz has their own feminine. Hinemoana being a feminine of my own Tribalz. All Female Deities begin with the Sacred Femine signifier, HINE (sounded Hinn eh). Hineahuone was the first Female formed of Red Earth and so on. Our Oceans wide are called after Grandmother Te Moana nui a Kiwa; The Great Foodbasket of Kiwa. Kiwa rose out of the East. The Direction our dead face when being buried. The Direction all dwellings and sacred architecture face when being designed and translated onto the mirror image of the Celestial landscape of Great Mother. There are many faces of the Feminine always and ever implied as ONE THOUGHT with our Masculine life principles.

(1).Is there a religious order in Pono besides the Kahuna, like healer, priest, teacher or sage?

Pono is part of the entire cosmological fabric of life. Using reductionist linear ways of rendering these conscepts are printed advisedly as our Elders caution. Aroha as the presence and lifebreath of Creator guides Tika walking with integrity into all matters said and unsaid and striving for Pono best described as our Highest Good, our Divine Path according to a Tribal centric orientation and physically embedded relational rubric for with Gods, Universe and Kin.

Religion is a new idea. These things came with the new strangers ...organised observance of a Spirit belief system lived apart from Life itself. Observing a Sacred praxis for life simply IS extruding our understandings and re-articulating these for a general populace a developing need of the past 500 + years of brutalizing erasures and every other inhumanity possible that has yet to end. All persons of a Kin base are part of the entire fabric of Mauri ora, of Lifeforce WellBEing tied to the Celestial, the Terrestrial and the Temporal self in relationship.

Tohunga ...Tohu is a word which also means 'signs, symbols, reading phenomon patterned and clustered'.
Hunga is a body of people, ideas ...
Nga signifies collective, expansion: all that is infinitely, unlimited.

Tohunga were those who read the signs and symbols of the Three Baskets of Wisdom in the present. Tohunga could be a Child or developed over many years. There is no time or age or gender or any kind of limits. The context is relational; what was seen to serve the common good of the Tribalz as a whole.

Tohunga could often be set apart because they could/are considered of such immense Spiritual fortitude that their person ought not be diminished ...since it is also held in common with the Tribalz ...and so dwellings may be set apart, certain rituals observed in the preparations for food, ablutions, the whole life needs of the individual ...as they assisted in the sustenance of Tribalz WellBEing in every sense of the term from Spiritual, Intellectual, Psychic Intuitive and Relational.

Every one of the Tribalz is born with these gifts in potential. Everyone inherits the collective Wisdoms of the Tribalz and certain ones are named according to those traits which appear in dreams before their birth, during their birth according to Celestial, Lunar charts and calculations and so their whakapapa ...their geneological map if you like predisposes some to a concentration of such energies. There are no guarantees in such a system except for nurturance of a Child that such gifts will be realised. Pono covers all of these gifts like a filtering system releasing the negative so the positive energetics might more readily flower.

Here is a link to one of our Living Treasures Dr Rangimarie Rose Pere. I feel her resonating in the vibrations you are emanating. She is very much a link to our Egyptian Ancestry. May there be abiding peace in our Hearts and as she says ...we are Miracles in Expression.
