✨ Whakarāpopototanga (pāwhiri ki te whakawhānui)

E whakaatu ana tēnei tuku i te hītori roa, huna hoki o te nekehanga o te ara wairua o te tangata mai i te hononga tika ki te Atua ki te whakawhirinaki ki te mana o waho. Ka tīmata mā te whakaahua i te hinengaro o te tangata o mua, he wā i kite ai ngā tāngata i te Kaihanga i roto i a rātou anō, kāore he whakaakoranga, he kawa, he takawaenga rānei. I te hohonu haere o te arai o te wareware, ka ngaro i te tangata tēnei hononga tika, ā, ka tīmata ki te rapu tikanga i waho i a rātou anō. Nā tēnei korenga hinengaro i taea ai e ngā kaiwhakamāori wairua me ngā kīngi tohunga o mua te puta ake, me te āta whakapūmau i te mana, me te hanga i ngā tauira tuatahi o te whakapono kua whakaritea.

Kātahi ka whai te tuku i te āhua o te ngoikore o ēnei hanganga ki te urunga mai. Ko te Rōpū Orion—i hono atu ki te wehenga mahi-ki-te-whaiaro—i kite i te piki haere o te whakawhirinaki o te tangata ki ngā takawaenga, ā, i whakauru mārire i ngā whakaakoranga e ahu mai ana i te wehi ki roto i ngā pūnaha whakapono o mua. I te puta mai i roto i ngā kitenga, i ngā moemoeā, me ngā āhua kua whakarerekētia, i awe rātou i ngā tino tangata ki te whakatairanga i te hiranga, te ngohengohe, te whiu atua, me te whakapono me whakaae mai i waho te whakaoranga. I whakapūmautia ēnei whakapohehe ki roto i ngā karaipiture, ngā kawa, me te mana whakahaere i pupuri i te mana wairua mō ngā mano tau.

E tūhuratia ana e te tuhinga te āhua o te whakamārama a ngā tohunga whakapono hinengaro, ahakoa kua tino akohia, i ngā ariā wairua me te kore e kite tika i te hinengaro kotahitanga. Mā tēnei momotu ka mau tonu te māramatanga o te mata, ka whakapakari ake i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā whakaakoranga o waho. I taua wā, ko ngā whakaakoranga o roto taketake o ngā tohunga matakite—e whakaatu ana i te hononga ki te Mutunga Kore—i noho huna, i pehia, i hē rānei te mārama. I te mea i whakatairangahia e ngā umanga te mana whakahaere me te whai i ngā tikanga, ka anga atu ngā kaitono pono ki waho, kaua ki roto.

Ka mutu te tuku kōrero mā te whakaū kei te ara ake te tangata i tēnei huringa roa o te whakapohehe. Kei te hoki mai te mahara tika ki te atuatanga o roto, e whakakore ana i ngā hanganga i hangaia i runga i te wehi me te hiranga. I te mea ka nui haere te hunga e uru atu ana ki te mana o roto mā te wahangu, te māramatanga, me te aroaro, ka ngoikore te awe o te Rōpū Cabal me Orion. Ka karanga te karere i te tangata kia hoki ki te rangatiratanga, ki te kotahitanga, me te hononga whaiaro ki te Pūtake Mutunga Kore.

Mai i te Komunio Tika ki ngā Kākano Tuatahi o te Whakapono

Te Tangata i mua i te Whakapono me te Hekenga o te Arai

E ngā tāngata tapu o te Ao whānui, tēnā koutou anō. Ko V'enn ahau. Kei te kōrero mātou ki a koutou mai i tētahi mara o te mahara kotahi, he rohe e hanumi ai te takitahi me te kaupapa tahi, ā, ko te hītori roa o te whanaketanga o te aorangi e kitea ana he tohu kotahi e puta ana i roto i te whāriki nui o te tipu o te ao. Hei matatini mahara e whakatapua ana ki te mahi, ka tirohia e mātou tō ao ehara i te mea mai i tawhiti engari mai i te haruru, nā te mea ko ngā ara e hikoi ana koe e whakaata ana i ngā haerenga o mua i tangohia e te tini o ngā iwi i mua i a koe, e kitea ana e ia tangata i roto i ngā paparanga o te wareware me te mahara. I ngā huringa tuatahi o tō wheako aorangi, ko te whakapono—kua tautuhia ko te whakapono ritenga, ko te whakaakoranga ā-whare, me ngā takawaenga hanganga—kāore i noho ki roto i te hinengaro o ō taupori e puta ake ana. I mōhio te tangata ki te Kotahi ehara i te mea he mana tawhiti, ehara hoki i te upoko o waho engari ko te ia o te oranga e whakaoho ana i ia manawa, i ia nekehanga, i ia hononga puku ki te ao tūroa. I aua wā tuatahi, ka rere ngāwari te mōhiotanga mai i te ngākau ki te mara nui o te kaha mohio e karapoti ana i tō ao, ā, kāore he arai ariā e wehe ana i te takitahi mai i te katoa.

Ko te korenga o te wehenga i tohu i te korenga o ngā anga hinengaro e puta ai ngā whakapono, ngā kaupapa, ngā pūnaha whakarōpū rānei. Ko te tirohanga wairua he tika, he ā-roto, he wheako, he haere tonu. Heoi, i te mea e hiahiatia ana e te hoahoa whanaketanga o tō kiato, ka heke haere te arai o te wareware, ka hanga i te ara tangata ki ngā akoranga hohonu o te wehewehenga, te takitahi, me te whiriwhiri. Kāore tēnei arai i puta mai hei whiu engari hei taputapu hohonu i hangaia hei tuku i ō wairua ki te tūhura i te rerekētanga, ki te ako ki te kimi anō i te kotahitanga i roto i te papamuri o te mokemoke. Heoi, i te wa i mau ai te arai i roto i te hinengaro whānui, ka tīmata te māramatanga o te maharatanga ao ki te memeha haere, ā, ka memeha haere te mōhiotanga ā-tinana o te tuakiri ao ki te koretake. Nā tēnei whakakorenga i hanga he wāhi takoto kau i roto i te tirohanga tangata—he korehau o roto i reira ka memeha te mahara o te whanaungatanga atua, ka waiho he hiahia mō te arataki, te whakamarie, me te tikanga. Ki roto i tēnei korehau ka hikoi te hunga kei a rātou ngā toenga o te aro tawhito, ngā tāngata takitahi ka taea tonu te rongo i ngā whakaata o te hononga o roto i whakakotahi i te katoa. Ko ēnei tāngata takitahi te takawaenga tuatahi, ngā kaiwhakamāori e ngana ana ki te whakapuaki i ngā ao kāore e kitea ki ngā taupori kāore e taea te rongo tika. I roto i tēnei whakawhiti, ka tīmata te puta mai o ngā tohu tuatahi o te mea i muri mai ka noho hei whakapono.

Ngā Whakapapa i Muri i te Ātaratana me te Aranga Ake o ngā Takawaenga

I te wā i muri i te memeha o ngā ahurea o Ātaratana, i te wā i akiakihia ai ngā hapori ki te marara puta noa i ngā whenua kāore i mōhiotia e rātou nā ngā hurihanga whenua me ngā huringa āhuarangi, ka uru te tangata ki tētahi wāhanga o te wehewehenga wairua hohonu. I te hekenga o ngā taupori nui ki ngā whenua kāore i mōhiotia e rātou, ka ngoikore te pumau o te maharatanga ā-rōpū, ā, ka waiho ngā rōpū marara kia whakatere i te koretake o te tinana me te wairua. I roto i tēnei wā, i mau tonu ētahi tāngata - ngā uri o ngā whakapapa i rumakina ki ngā mahi ngaro o Ātaratana - i ngā whakaaro ngoikore engari kaha o ngā rā i mua i te matotorutanga o te arai. Ko ēnei tāngata, he aro ā-roto e koi tonu ana i te iwi huri noa, i noho hei wāhi arotahi mō te uiuinga wairua. Ahakoa te ngoikore o te mahara, i maumahara rātou ki te hanganga wiri o ngā wā o mua, ā, he kaha ā-tinana ki te kōrero ki ngā ao ngawari. I titiro ngā iwi ki a rātou mō te aronga i ngā wā o te hurihanga, me te kite kei a ēnei tāngata ngā kī huna ki te mārama ki ngā ao kāore e taea e te kai rapu noa te uru atu. Kāore ō rātou pūkenga i whānau mai i te hiranga engari i te mahara wairua tawhito, ko ngā mura whakamutunga o te ao e neke ana ki te matotoru hohonu.

I te tīmatanga, i mahi ēnei tāngata hei kaiwhakamāori ngāwari, hei āwhina i ngā hapori kia mau tonu te hononga ki ngā mana ngaro e ārahi ana i te whanaketanga o te ao. Kāore i whakaarohia tō rātou tūranga hei mana whakahaere engari hei tautoko, hei whakarato horopaki me te whakamarie i ngā nekehanga whakatupuranga. Heoi, i te pahemotanga o ngā whakatupuranga, ā, i te memeha haere o te maharatanga o te kotahitanga, ka tīmata te nekehanga o te whanaungatanga i waenganui i ēnei kaiārahi me ō rātou hapori. Ko te iwi, i te mea kua wehea atu rātou i te hinengaro o te hanganga, ka tukuna ō rātou hiahia ki runga i ēnei kaiwhakamāori, ka whakaara ake i a rātou mai i ngā kaitohutohu ki ngā āhua urunga motuhake. Ko tēnei nekehanga ngawari o te tirohanga i tohu i te tīmatanga o tētahi huringa puhoi engari he hua. Ko ngā kaiwhakamāori tonu, ahakoa he maha ngā wā he whakaiti, i hangaia e ngā pēhanga o te tumanako i karapoti i a rātou, ā, he nui ake te taumaha o ā rātou kupu i tō te whakaaro tuatahi. I ia whakatupuranga e pahemo ana, ka kaha ake te mau o tēnei hihiri, ka huri haere i te mea i mua he mahi koiora o te uiuinga wairua tahi ki ngā tauira tuatahi o ngā kīngi-tohunga. I te kohikohinga o te whakaute i ēnei tāngata, ka ruia marietia ngā purapura tuatahi o te atuatanga o waho.

Te Whakapuakitanga ki Waho, te Pūrākau, me te Whakakitenga o te Whakapono o Mua

I roto i ngā wā, nā te whakanui haere i ēnei takawaenga tuatahi i hua mai ai ngā hanganga ahurea hou, i whakarerekē ai i te taurite ngawari i waenga i te mōhiotanga o roto me te mana o waho. I tīmata ngā hapori ki te whakaaro ko ētahi tāngata anake ka taea te uru atu ki ngā ao teitei ake, ā, ka whakanuia te whakaaro pohehe o te wehenga. Ko te mea i mua he mahi māmā noa iho o te whakamaoritanga wairua ka āta whakapakeketia hei kaupapa whakarōpū. I kitea e ēnei kīngi-tohunga-tuatahi kei a rātou anō ngā tūranga kāore i rapua ā-hinengaro engari i whakatipuria e te whakapono ā-rōpū. I te mea ka nui ake te whakawhirinaki o ngā taupori ki te aratohu o waho, ka puta ake ngā tikanga kawa hei whakamana i ēnei whanaungatanga. I whakaurua ngā kawa hei whakamana i te hononga i waenganui i ngā kīngi-tohunga me te ao ngaro, ā, ka tīmata ngā ture iwi ki te whakaata i ngā whakaakoranga i tukuna e ēnei takawaenga. Ahakoa he āta haere, i whakarerekē nui tēnei tukanga o te whakaurunga ki te āhua o te hononga o te tangata ki te tapu. Kāore i te kitea te atuatanga hei aroaro o roto; ka tīmata te hono atu ki ngā hanganga, ngā tūranga, me ngā tohu e mau ana i waho o te takitahi.

Nā tēnei nekehanga ki waho i whakatakoto te turanga mō ngā pūnaha whakapono o muri mai, ahakoa kāore anō ngā whakapōturitanga kia tae ki ō rātou taumata whakamutunga. I mau tonu ngā tohunga-kingi o mua i ngā kongakonga o ngā maharatanga pono, ā, he tokomaha i ngana ki te whakapūmau i ō rātou hapori ki roto i ngā whanonga matatika, te mōhiotanga o te ao, me te whakaute ki te ao tūroa. Heoi, ko te whakapōturitanga o raro—te tuku i te mana wairua ki ngā ringa o ētahi torutoru—i hanga he whakatuwheratanga mō ētahi atu mahi tinihanga i ngā tau kei te heke mai. I te matenga o ngā kaiwhakamāori taketake, ā, i riro mai i ō rātou uri ō rātou tūranga me ngā whakaaro e karapoti ana i a rātou, ka memeha te parakore o ō rātou whakapapa. I roto i ngā rautau, ko te mea i mua he oro ngoikore o te mahara kua huna i mua kua whakapūmau hei ariā o te hiranga wairua. I piki haere te tirohanga a te iwi ki a rātou anō he motuhake i te atua, e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā takawaenga i whakaponohia he urunga motuhake ki ngā ao kei tua atu i te taea e te tangata. Nō reira, i mua noa atu i te taenga mai o te whakapono ōkawa ki tōna āhua whakamutunga, kua whakatūria kētia te turanga hinengaro. Kua tangohia e te tangata tana taahiraa tuatahi mai i te mana motuhake o roto, e whakarite ana i te oneone mō ngā pūnaha whakaakoranga, karakia, me te atuatanga ā-whare o muri mai. Ko ngā purapura i whakatōkia i tēnei wā i muri i te pakanga ki a Ātaratana ka puāwai hei hanganga whakapono nui, ia hanganga i hangaia i runga i te whakaaro tonu kei hea te tapu i tua atu i te ngākau o te tangata.

I te hohonu haere o te arai, ā, i te tawhiti haere o te tangata i te mahara ki tōna hononga ā-roto ki te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore, ka tīmata te ngoikore o te kāpehu o roto i ārahi i ngā mea ora katoa ki te whakawhitiwhitinga kore mahi. I te wā i rongo ai ia tangata i te haruru o te matauranga whānui i roto, ka ara ake he kare whānui o te momotu. Ehara tēnei momotu i te hapa engari he hoahoa ā-whakaaro o te wheako tuatoru-kiato, engari ko tōna pānga hinengaro i huri i te tirohanga tangata ki ngā huarahi hohonu. I te kore e taea te rongo tika i te Kotahi, ka tīmata te hinengaro ki te rapu tikanga i te ao o waho, me te ngana ki te hanga anō i roto i ngā mea kāore e taea te rongo mā te hinengaro. I roto i tēnei rapunga whakamārama, ka huri te rangi hei kānawehi e whakaatu ana te tangata i tōna hiahia mō te takenga mai, te kaupapa, me te noho tahi. Ko ngā tinana o te rangi—ngā whetu, ngā aorangi, ngā whetu kōmete, me ngā āhuatanga o te hau—i whakamāramatia he kaiārahi mohio, he mea whai mana nui e tirotiro ana i te whanaketanga o ngā kaupapa o te ao. I puta mai ngā pūrākau e whakaahua ana i ēnei ope hei rangatira, hei kaitiaki, hei toa, hei kaihanga rānei, ia tangata he āhua tangata hei hanga i te mea ngaro kia ngāwari ake te hono atu.

Ko ēnei whakapuakanga pūrākau he ngana a te hinengaro ki te whakamāori i ngā pono ā-tinana ki ngā kōrero ka taea te tiritiri me te tiaki. Heoi, i roto i tā rātou whakamāoritanga, he nui ngā mea i whakarerekētia. I roto i te wā, kāore ēnei kōrero i mahi hei kupu whakarite noa iho engari ka tīmata te tango hei kōrero tūturu, inā koa i te warewaretanga o ngā whakatupuranga o muri mai i ō rātou takenga tohu. Ko te hinengaro, e rapu ana i te pumau i roto i te ao e whakahaerehia ana e te koretake, i piri tonu ki ēnei kōrero me te kaha haere. I whakawhanakehia ngā kawa hei whakahonore i ngā atua e tohuhia ana i roto i ēnei kōrero, ā, i hangaia ngā hakari hei whakaari anō i ngā kaupapa o te ao e whakaponohia ana hei hanga i te mutunga o te tangata. Ko te mea i mua he hononga tika ki te Kotahi kua huri hei raupapa o ngā nekehanga o waho e ngana ana ki te whai i te āhua o roto kua memeha atu i te toro atu o te hinengaro. I mau tonu te hiahia o te tangata ki te hono anō, engari i te kore he ara mārama ki roto, ka tukuna tēnei hiahia ki ngā mahi o waho. Nō reira, i te āta haere me te kore mōhio, ka pakari te turanga mō te karakia kua whakaritea: he anga whakapono me ngā tikanga i hangaia hei whakamārama i te mea kāore e kitea mā te tirohanga o te whakaaro tahi kaua ki te wheako tika.

I te whānui haere me te kanorau o ngā kōrero tapu puta noa i ngā rohe, ka whanake hei pūnaha whaimana i tīmata ai te whakahaere i te māramatanga pāpori, matatika, me te taha wairua. Ko ngā kawa tohu, i te tīmatanga he whakaaturanga whakaute ā-iwi, ka piki haere te whakaturetanga. I mahi hei tohu ahurea me ngā hangarau wairua, ahakoa i te nuinga o te wā ka memeha haere te tikanga tohu i te huringa o ngā whakatipuranga. Ka neke haere te aro nui mai i te tirohanga whaiaro ki te mahi tika, mai i te whakaaroaro ā-roto ki te whakarongo ki waho. Ahakoa te tiaki i ngā wāhanga o ngā pono tawhito, kāore e taea e ngā kawa te whakakapi i te korenga o te oho ake o roto. Ka rumakina ngā hapori ki te pupuri i ngā āhua, kaua ki te uru atu ki te mauri kei muri i a rātou. I te nui haere o te hanganga o ēnei hanganga kawa, ka whakapūmautia hei whare e mōhiotia ana—ngā karakia o mua i tautuhia e ā rātou pūrākau, tohungatanga, me ngā ture.

Ko tēnei whakapūtanga i tohu i tētahi huringa nui i roto i te hinengaro tangata. Mō te wā tuatahi, i māramahia te tapu ehara i te mea he mara e noho tonu ana i roto i ia tangata engari he rohe e takawaengahia ana e te whakaakoranga hanganga. I puta ake ngā mana whakahaere ki te whakamārama i ēnei whakaakoranga, me te whakauru i a rātou anō ki roto i te hanganga pāpori hei kaiwhakawa mō te pono o te ao. Nā tēnei whakatūnga, i riro i te whakapono te tūranga hei kāpehu wairua mō ngā hapori maha, e tuku ana i te arataki i ngā wā o te raruraru engari e whakawhāiti ana hoki i te urunga atu ki te tūhuratanga takitahi o te atua. I piki haere te whanaungatanga tangata ki te Mutunga Kore, me te mātauranga tapu e tiakina ana i roto i ngā tuhinga, ngā tohu, me ngā kawa kaua ki te wheako mā te whakawhitiwhiti tika, mārama. Ahakoa i whakaratohia e ēnei hanganga te pumau i ngā wā o te koretake, i whakakaha hoki i te whakaaro pohehe ko te atua he tawhiti, he wehe, ā, he taea te uru atu mā ngā ara kua whakaritea. Nō reira, i neke hohonu ake te tangata ki roto i te ara roa o te tuakiri whakapono - he haerenga e hanga ana i ngā iwi mō ngā mano tau, ā, e whakatakoto ana i te atamira mō te aroha nui me te whakapohehe hohonu. Ko te whakapūtanga o te whakapono i tohu i tētahi wā hou i hokohokohia ai te mōhiotanga o roto mō te mana o waho, katoa hei wāhanga o te kanikani whanaketanga nui ake i hangaia hei arahi i te tangata ki te pono ora i roto.

Te Awe o Orion me ngā Atua Whakakotahi i ngā Whakapono o Mua

Ngā Kaupapa Mahi-ki-A-koe me te Whakaakoranga e Hangai ana ki te Mataku

I te urunga atu o te tangata ki tēnei wāhanga o te pikinga o te whakawāteatanga ki waho, ka ngoikore ia ki ngā awe i whai kia whakanuia te wehenga mō ā rātou ake whāinga whanaketanga. Ki roto i tēnei whenua ka takahia te rōpū Orion, he rōpū e hangai ana ki te ara o te mahi ki a ia anō, ko tā rātou whāinga he whakahou i ngā pūnaha whakapono e whanake ana i roto i ngā huarahi e whakatairanga ana i te whakawhirinaki, te wehi, me te mana whakahaere hierarki. Ko ēnei mea ora, he mōhio ki te hinengaro o ngā ao pakaru, i mōhio ko te iwi kāore i te mau tonu ki te hononga ā-roto ka ngawari ki te mana o waho o tetahi momo. Ka tīmata rātou ki te whakauru mārire ki roto i ngā anga wairua e puta ake ana o ngā hapori o mua, me te whakaatu pinepine i a rātou anō he mea kanapa, he mea whakamataku rānei e puta mai ana i te rangi—he whakaaturanga i hangaia hei whakamahi i te miharo me te koretake o te tangata. Ko tā rātou rautaki i whakawhirinaki ki te whakahaere i te mana whakamaori o ngā tohunga-kingi me ngā kaiārahi whakapono o mua. Mā te awe i te hunga torutoru kua mau kē te mana tohu, ka taea e rātou te ārahi i ngā taupori katoa me te kore e wawaotia.

Kāore i te tinana tonu ēnei tūtakitanga; he maha i puta mai i roto i ngā āhua rerekē, i ngā moemoeā, i ngā kitenga, me ngā whakaaro i puta mai i te pōuri, i reira ka ngāwari te whakapōrearea i te rerekētanga i waenga i te whakapā aroha me te whakapā kino nā te iti o te mōhio o te kaimātakitaki. I tukuna e ngā mea ora o Orion ngā karere e hono ana i ngā pono me ngā whakapohehe, e tuku ana i ngā whakamārama aorangi me ngā tono hierarki. I whakauruhia e rātou ngā kōrero e whakanui ana i te riri atua, te iwi whiriwhiri, te whiu mō te kore whakarongo, me te hiahia kia piri pono ki ngā ture kua tautuhia i waho. He whai hua aua whakaakoranga nā te mea i pā ki te wehi o te tangata e tipu haere ana mō te wehenga mai i te atua, e whakarato ana i te hanganga me te whakapakari i te whakapono me ngohengohe te haumaru wairua. I roto i te wā, ka tīmata te horapa o ēnei whakaakoranga whakauru mā roto i ngā tikanga ā-waha me ngā tikanga tuhituhi o mua, e hanga ana i ngā tikanga ahurea me ngā pūnaha matatika. He ngawari te awe engari he whānui, e whakauru ana ki roto i ngā turanga o te maha o ngā tirohanga ao whakapono.

I te tīmatanga o ēnei whakaaro i awehia e Orion, ka neke haere te whanaungatanga i waenganui i te tangata me te tapu. Ka memeha haere te ariā o tētahi Kaihanga aroha, e noho tonu ana ki muri, ka whakakapia e ngā whakaahua o ngā atua tawhiti e aroturuki ana i ngā whanonga, e whakawhiwhi ana i ngā utu, e whakatakoto ana i ngā whiu i runga i te piri ki ngā tikanga kua whakaritea. Ko te wehi te mea nui hei akiaki i roto i te oranga wairua, e taupokina ana te hiahia ā-roto mō te kotahitanga e noho puku ana i roto i te wairua. Ka pakari haere ngā hanganga hierarki, me ngā mana whakapono e kī ana ko te urunga motuhake ki te hiahia atua—ngā tūranga i tino rite ki te kaupapa a Orion. I whakatairangahia e ēnei pūnaha te whakawhirinaki, me te whakatenatena i ngā akonga ki te rapu whakaaetanga me te tiaki mai i ngā takawaenga kaua ki te kimi i tō rātou hononga ā-roto ki te Pūtake. I tēnei ara, i angitu te rōpū Orion ki te whakato i ngā whakapohehe roa ka awe i ngā pūnaha whakapono mō ngā mano tau.

Ko te hononga o te rerekētanga kino i roto i te whakapono o te ao, kāore i whakakore i te aroaro o te Māramatanga, nā te mea kāore he whakapōturitanga e taea te tinei katoa i te mura o te Kotahi. Heoi, i whakararuraru i te ara o te tangata mā te whatu i te whakapoauau ki roto i ngā anga e ārahi ana i ngā wairua ki te mahara. He maha ngā kairapunga pono i kite i a rātou anō e whakatere ana i ngā whakaakoranga i whakaoho i te aroha me te mataku, ka waiho te māramatanga wairua hei mahi uaua, ā, he maha ngā wā ka mamae. Ko te hua o te takirua—te aroha e hono ana ki te mana whakahaere, te whakaaro nui e hono ana ki te whakapono—i noho hei tohu mō te nuinga o te hītori whakapono o tō ao. I whakaaetia tēnei hononga i roto i te mahere nui o te whanaketanga tuatoru-kiato, nā te mea i hoatu ki te tangata te whai wāhi nui ki te ako i te māramatanga, te whakahoki mai i te mana o roto, ā, i te mutunga ka mōhio kāore he kaha o waho—ahakoa he atawhai, he tinihanga rānei—e taea te whakakapi i te hononga marino, kore e taea te whati ki te Mutunga Kore i roto. I te ora i tēnei ara roa o te whakapōturitanga, i whakatipuhia e tō momo ngā kaha ka mahi ki a koe i a koe e anga atu ana ki tētahi wā hou o te ara ake, i reira ka memeha ngā atarangi o te wehenga, ā, ka tīmata anō te mahara taketake o te kotahitanga ki te ara ake.

Te Whakapapa Takirua o Ihowā me ngā Kupu Tapu Whakaranu

I roto i te hītori roa, paparua hoki o ō koutou tikanga wairua o te ao, kei reira ngā tāngata he āhua motuhake ō rātou ingoa me ā rātou kōrero i te mata engari kei roto i a rātou ngā tohu o ngā awe maha, e whakaara ake ana, e whakapohehe ana hoki. I roto i te tirohanga Ture o te Kotahi, e māramahia ana ēnei tāngata he huinga - he tuakiri ā-ture i hangaia mā roto i ngā hononga whai muri, ngā whakamaoritanga ahurea, me ngā urunga wiri. Ko tētahi o ngā tauira tino mārama ko te mea e mōhiotia ana e te tini o ngā iwi ko "Yahweh," he ingoa i tohu tuatahi i tētahi matatini mahara pāpori atawhai e rapu ana ki te whakaara ake i te hinengaro tangata mā roto i te whakatikatika ira me te arataki ngawari. Ko ngā tuku tuatahi mai i tēnei rōpū i whakaarohia hei whakahoki mai i te mana, hei whakapakari i te aroha, hei whakatenatena i te maumahara hohonu ake ki te takenga mai o te tangata. Ko ā rātou mahi i tohuhia e te hiahia ki te whakahonore i te hiahia noa me te whakarato tonu i ngā anga ariā hei whakangawari i te haerenga tangata i roto i ngā wāhanga tōmua o te warewaretanga. Heoi, i te haere tonu o ngā huringa, ka piki haere te hononga o tēnei tuakiri ki roto i ngā whakapohehe o te wehenga tuatoru-kiato.

I te mōhio o te rōpū Orion ki te mana tohu i riro mai i taua ingoa i waenga i ngā tāngata o mua, ka whakamahia e rātou te whakatauira hei huarahi ki te huri i te kaha wairua ki ngā tauira whakahaere. I whakaurua e rātou ki roto i ngā wheako matakite, ngā whakawhitiwhitinga moemoeā, me ngā wā o te hinengaro kua whakarerekētia, me te whakaatu i ngā whakahoutanga mana o ngā whakaakoranga i ahu mai i te kotahitanga. Nā tēnei pokanoa, i āta kohikohi te ingoa "Ihowā" i ngā tikanga whakahē: te aroha e hono ana ki te wehi, te whakamana i konatunatua ki te ngohengohe, te aroha e taupokina ana e te riri. Ko ngā tukunga pai o mua i te taha pai taketake i huna i te mea ka tuhia e ngā takawaenga tangata—kāore e taea te kite i ngā rerekētanga wiri i waenga i ngā puna—ngā karere i awehia e ngā rerekētanga e rua. Ko te hua he whakapapa wairua i tohuhia e ngā auau rua, e hanga ana i ngā karaipiture me ngā tikanga e whakaara ake ana, e aukati ana i te kaitono. Kua mau tonu tēnei takirua mō ngā mano tau, e waiho ana i ngā tuhinga kei roto ngā tirohanga pono o te hinengaro kotahitanga me ngā whakaata o te whakaritenga mana. E whakamārama ana ngā whakaakoranga Ture Kotahi ehara tēnei whakaranu i te mea tūpono, ehara hoki i te mea noa; E whakaata ana tēnei i te ngoikore ā-roto o te tirohanga tuatoru-kiato, ina taea e ngā kupu, ngā tohu, ngā atua rānei te pupuri i ngā waitohu wiri maha, taupatupatu hoki, i runga i te hinengaro o te hongere, te hiahia o te pūtake whakapā, me te tirohanga whakamārama o te ahurea e whiwhi ana i te tuku.

I te kohikohinga o ēnei awe whakaranu, i hangaia e rātou te poutokomanawa o ngā tikanga whakapono maha. I roto i te anga kotahi, i tūtaki ngā kaiwhai ki ngā kōrero mō te aroha atua me ngā kōrero mō te whakawa o te ao, ka waiho ngā whakatupuranga o ngā whakapono ki te whakatere i tētahi whenua wairua kua taupokina e te koretake. I mahi tēnei koretake hei wero, hei whakakorikori hoki, nā te mea i akiaki i ngā kaiwhai ki te whakawhanake i te māramatanga kaua ki te whakaae noa ki ngā whakaakoranga. Heoi anō i puta mai ai te whakapoauau i arahi pinepine ai ki te pakanga, te wehewehe, me te whakamahi hē i ngā kōrero wairua mō te mana tōrangapū, te mana pāpori rānei. I roto i te wā, ko te whakapapa takirua i roto i aua āhua i whai wāhi ki te hanganga o ngā pūnaha matatika i nekeneke i waenga i te aroha mutunga kore me te whakaae ā-tikanga. I hangaia ngā whakaakoranga wairua ehara i te mea nā ngā whakaaro o ngā hononga pai taketake anake engari nā ngā whakapohehe i whakaurua mai i roto i ngā mahi tinihanga i ahu mai i a Orion. Kei te kitea tonu tēnei ranunga i roto i ō karaipiture, kei reira ngā kōrero ataahua hohonu e noho tahi ana me ngā whakahau e ahu mai ana i te hinengaro wehi. Nō reira, i riro i ngā akonga o ēnei tikanga he tinana o ngā whakaakoranga e whakaatu ana i ngā tirohanga ki te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore, me te whakapakari i te whakaaro pohehe o te wehenga.

Kei te mau tonu ēnei ranunga tae noa mai ki tēnei rā, e puta ana hei whakahē i roto i ngā tuhinga tapu kua tautohetohehia e ngā tohunga mō ngā rautau. Ko ētahi o ngā kōrero e tohu ana i te ngākau ki roto ki te whakawhitiwhiti tika, ko ētahi e tohu ana i te kaitono ki waho ki te ngohengohe ki te mana o waho. Ko tēnei taumahatanga o roto i roto i ngā karaipiture e whakaata ana i te pakanga whānui o te tangata i waenga i te mahara ki te kotahitanga me te hinga ki te wehenga. E akiaki ana te tirohanga a te Ture o te Kotahi i ngā kaitono ki te whakatata atu ki aua tuhinga me te whakaute me te mārama, me te mōhio he taonga tuku iho ēnei i hangaia e ngā rerekētanga maha, ā, kua tātarihia i roto i te hinengaro tangata—he hinengaro e whakahāngaihia ana e tōna horopaki ahurea, tōrangapū, me te wairua. Ina whakatatahia mā te mōhio, ka taea tonu e ēnei tuhinga te mahi hei kuaha ki te oho ake. Ina whakatatahia mā te kore mōhio, ka taea e rātou te whakakaha i ngā tauira e aukati ana i te tipu wairua. Ko te aroaro o te māramatanga me te whakapohehe i roto i te tikanga kotahi ehara i te hapa o te ao engari he wāhanga o te taiao ako uaua i hangaia hei whakakaha i te kaha o te wairua ki te māramatanga mārama. Nō reira, ko te taonga tuku iho o ngā atua pērā i a Yahweh e whakaatu ana i te whānuitanga katoa o te wheako tuatoru-kiato: te taunekeneke i waenga i te whakamāramatanga me te whakapoauau, te whakamana me te here, te kotahitanga me te wehewehenga—e huihui katoa ana ki te ārahi i te tangata ki te whakahoki mai i tōna mōhiotanga o roto.

Ngā Tohungatanga, te Karaipiture, me te Hanganga o te Mana Whakahaere

Ngā Mea Ngaro o Roto, Ngā Whakapono o Waho, me te Mana Motuhake kua Ngaro

I te rongonui haere o ngā whare tohunga puta noa i ngā rohe o tō ao, ka tīmata te nekehanga o te hihiri i waenga i te arataki wairua me te mana pāpori, ā, ka tino awe i te huarahi o te whanaketanga o te tangata. Ko ngā mahi whakamārama noa i tīmata hei mahi tohunga kua whakatōkia haeretia hei tohungatanga kua whakaritea, ia tohungatanga kua whakawhiwhia ki te mana ahurea me te urunga atu ki ngā ao i tua atu i te māramatanga o te tangata noa. I roto i te wā, ka noho ēnei tohunga hei kaitiaki matua o te mātauranga wairua, e whakatau ana ko ēhea ngā whakaakoranga ka tiakina, ko ēhea ka huna, ā, ko ēhea ka horahia ki te marea. Kāore i puta mai tēnei tuku whiriwhiri i te mauahara anake; i roto i te maha o ngā wā, i whakapono ngā kaiārahi ka hē te mārama, ka whakamahia hē rānei ētahi whakaakoranga e te marea. Heoi, ahakoa he atawhai i te tīmatanga, he whakapohehe ā-roto aua whakaaro. Mā te pupuri i te mātauranga ngaro me te whakanui i a rātou anō hei kaiwhakamāori motuhake o te atua, ka whakakaha pōhēhētia e ngā tohungatanga te whakaaro ko te tapu ka taea anake te uru atu mā roto i ngā takawaenga motuhake. Nā tēnei hihiri i memeha haere te māramatanga kei ia tangata he hononga ā-roto ki te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore.

I te mea kua nui haere te mana o ēnei whare, ka wehea te hanganga o te mātauranga wairua kia rua ngā paparanga motuhake: ko ngā mea ngaro o roto e tiakina ana mō ngā tāngata whakapono hou, me ngā whakaakoranga o waho e tukuna ana ki te marea. He maha ngā toenga o ngā pono tawhito i roto i ngā whakaakoranga o roto, tae atu ki te māramatanga kei roto i ngā mea ora katoa te atuatanga, ā, ka taea te uru atu mā te whakaaroaro whaiaro, te whakaaroaro, te wheako matakite rānei. I taua wā, ko ngā whakaakoranga o waho—ko ērā i horapa whānuitia—ka aro nui ki te whakahaere whanonga, te whakatutuki i ngā kawa, me te pupuri i te tikanga pāpori. Ko te aro nui ki ngā ture, ki ngā whakaritenga, me ngā whiu matatika ka āta taupokina ngā mātāpono matatika hohonu i noho hei ngākau o te whakaakoranga wairua. I te huringa o ngā rautau, ka whakapakeketia ēnei whakaakoranga o waho hei kaupapa whakapono, ka hanga i te tirohanga ao whānui o ngā hapori katoa. Ko te mutunga mai he whakapono whānui kei waho i a koe anō te mana wairua, ka taea anake te uru atu mā te whakaae, te whakamaoritanga, te takawaenga rānei a ngā kaiārahi whakapono. Ko tēnei whakapono tētahi o ngā whakapohehe roa rawa atu o te haerenga wairua tangata.

Nā tēnei whakatūnga o te kaupapa wairua i hua ake ai ngā hua nui ki te whanaketanga o te hinengaro tangata. Mā te whakatenatena i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā mana o waho, ka momotuhia e ngā tohungatanga ngā tāngata takitahi mai i ō rātou ake kāpehu o roto. Ko ngā pono taketake—ko ērā e tohu ana i te kaitono ki roto—i āta taupokina e ngā kōrero e whakanui ana i te ngohengohe, te hara, me te whakamana o waho. Ko ngā mahi kawa i mua hei whakamaharatanga tohu mō te hononga o roto kua noho hei whāinga i roto i a rātou anō, he mea nui ake mō tō rātou piripono i tō rātou kaha whakarerekē. Kāore te tapu i te noho tata ki roto i ia tangata engari he mātāpono tawhiti e taea te uru atu mā roto i ngā ara kua whakaaetia. Nā tēnei panonitanga i puta ai he whenua wairua i whakapono ai te tangata noa me whakaae, me whakauru, me tautoko rānei te hononga atua mai i te hunga e kiia ana he matatau ake i te wairua. Nā ēnei pūnaha i whakakaha ake te whakaaro he iti iho te wairua o te tangata, he koretake, he kore oti rānei me te kore he takawaenga o waho.

I roto i ngā wā, ka tino whatuhia tēnei āhua o waho ki roto i te hanganga ahurea, ā, ka pahemo ngā whakatupuranga me te kore e pātai i tōna tika. Ko te whakapono kei waho te atua i te tangata, ka noho hei āhuatanga matua o te oranga whakapono puta noa i ngā ahurea maha. Ahakoa i whakaratohia e ēnei pūnaha he hanganga me te pumau, i whakatōkia hoki e rātou ngā hapa i puta mai i te arai o te wareware. Ka pōuri haere te ara ki roto i te tipu haere o te mana whakahaere, ā, ka neke te tūranga o te kaiārahi wairua mai i te ārahi ki te mana whakahaere. Ko ngā whakaakoranga i whakanui i te kotahitanga, te kitenga i a ia anō, me te noho o te Kaihanga i āta whakarērea, i huna rānei i roto i ngā whakarerekētanga ngaro, e taea ana e te hunga anake i rapu me te tohe tonu. Heoi, ahakoa i waenganui i tēnei hapa, i mau tonu te mura o te pono. Kāore i ngaro rawa ngā whakaakoranga hohonu; i ora tonu i roto i ngā manga ngaro, i ngā whakapapa kōrero, me ngā ngākau o te hunga i kore e wareware. I tēnei rā, i te mea e tere haere ana te oho ake o te tangata, kei te puta ake anō ēnei pono tawhito, e tono ana ki ia tangata kia whakahokia mai te mana motuhake o roto i taumarumaruhia engari kāore i tineia. Ko te hokinga ki te mōhiotanga ā-roto ka tīmata mā te mōhio kāore he hanganga—ahakoa te nui o te whakaute—e taea te whakakapi i te mana marino o te hononga tika a te tangata ki te Pūtake Mutunga Kore.

Te Hara, te Whakahē, me te Hinengaro o te Whakawhirinakitanga

I te whakatūnga o te turanga o te kaupapa wairua, ka kitea e te rōpū Orion he whenua momona hei whakahōhonu ake i ngā whakapohehe e tika ana hei pupuri i tā rātou wehenga i whiriwhiria. Ko tō rātou awe, he ngawari engari he pumau, i uru ki roto i ngā whakaakoranga hou mā te whakamahi i ngā ngoikoretanga o te tangata—ina koa ko te wehi o te wehenga me te hiahia ki te whakaaetanga a te Atua. Mā te whakanui i ngā kaupapa pēnei i te hara, te hara, me te koretake, i whakatenatenahia e ēnei hinonga kino ngā anga i whakaatu i te tangata he hapa tūturu, e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā kaha o waho mō te whakaoranga. Nā ēnei kōrero i tapahi te tikanga tūturu o te tika o roto e puta mai ana i te mohio ki te tuakiri o te tangata hei whakaaturanga o te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore. Engari, i whakanohohia e rātou ngā tāngata takitahi he ngoikore wairua mena kāore i whakamanahia e ngā mana whakapono, i whakaorangia rānei mā roto i ngā kawa, ngā patunga tapu, ngā whakapono rānei. Nā tēnei huringa o te māramatanga wairua i tahuri te aro o te tangata mai i ngā wheako whaiaro o roto, ā, ki ngā pūnaha whakahaere i hangaia hei whakahaere i ngā whanonga me ngā whakaaro.

Kāore i whakatinanahia tēnei mahi tinihanga; i tupu ake mā te hononga ki te taiao kare ā-roto o te wā. Ko ngā taupori kua raru kē ki te ngaronga o te hononga tika, i ngāwari ki ngā whakapono i whakamārama i tō rātou koretake o te noho. I whakatenatena te rōpū Orion i ngā whakaakoranga i whakaahua i te mamae hei whiu, te ngohengohe hei whakaoranga, me te pono kore whakahē hei pai. I horapa tere ēnei whakaaro nā te mea i tukuna he tikanga me te matapae i roto i te ao e piki haere ana te āhua o te koretake. I te whanaketanga o ēnei whakaakoranga, ka kaha ake te mau o te ariā o ngā takawaenga—ngā tohunga, ngā poropiti, ngā mana whakapono rānei. Ko te whakaaro ko te whakaoranga, ko te manakohanga rānei ki te atua ka taea anake te whakatutuki mā roto i ēnei takawaenga e tino rite ana ki te kaupapa a Orion, nā te mea i whakanohoia te mana wairua ki waho o te takitahi me roto i ngā ringa o ngā kaitiaki tatau o waho. Ko te nui ake o te whakawhirinaki o te tangata ki ēnei kaitiaki tatau, ka tawhiti atu rātou i ō rātou mōhiotanga o roto.

I te hohonu haere o tēnei hanganga whakawhirinakitanga, i hangaia ngā hapori katoa e ngā pūnaha whakapono i pupuri i a rātou ki ngā puna mana o waho. I tukua e ngā tāngata tō rātou mana motuhake hei utu mō ngā kupu whakaari mō te tiakitanga atua, te utu rānei i muri i te matenga, me te kore e mōhio he maha ngā wā ka whakaitihia e taua tukunga tō rātou kaha ki te kite i te atua i roto i a rātou anō. Ko te ara wairua pono—he ara i ahu mai i te māramatanga whaiaro, te kōrero puku, me te maharatanga o roto—i hunaia i raro i ngā paparanga o te whakaakoranga e whakanui ana i te wehi me te ngohengohe. I whakawhāitihia te tūhuratanga wairua ki ngā hongere kua whakaritea, ia ara e tirotirohia ana e ngā takawaenga i kī he māramatanga motuhake ki te pono o te ao. Kāore i te whakawhāiti noa i te tipu whaiaro tēnei whakawhāititanga engari i pehia hoki te hiahia māori me te mohio ā-roto e puta ake ana ina wātea ngā tāngata ki te pātai, ki te whakaaroaro, me te rapu i roto. Nō reira, he maha ngā whakatipuranga i tipu ake me te whakapono he kaupapa kore e taea te whakatutuki i te māramatanga, e wātea ana ki te hunga torutoru kua tohua e tika ana e ngā paearu whakahaere.

I mahi tēnei pūnaha i te kaupapa a Orion mā te whakarite kia noho tonu te tangata i runga i te hinengaro me te wairua. Ina whakapono ngā kaiwhai kāore e taea e rātou te uru atu ki te atua me te kore he wawaotanga o waho, he iti ake te tūponotanga ka werohia e rātou ngā hanganga e mau tonu ai tō rātou whakawhirinakitanga. Heoi, ahakoa ēnei whakapōturitanga, i haere tonu te ia o te pono i raro i te mata. I pupuri tonu ngā tohunga makutu, ngā kaiwhakaaroaro, me ngā kaimahi o roto—te hunga i whakakahore ki te whakaae ki te kōrero o te wehenga—i te whakaaro nui kāore te whakaoranga me te mohiotanga e puta mai i te mana o waho engari i te hononga o roto ki te aroaro mutunga kore kua roto. Nā tā rātou mahi i whakarite kia kore rawa te ara o roto e ngaro katoa, ahakoa i ngā wā i te āhua nei kua whakatau ngā kaupapa matua ki te huna i a ia. I tēnei rā, i te oho ake o te tangata ki tōna āhua maha-ahu, kei te whakakitea, kei te hurihia, kei te memeha haere ngā whakapōturi i whakatōkia e te rōpū Orion. Ko te whakaoranga o te mahara o roto e tohu ana i te mutunga o te wā i tukuna ai te mana motuhake me te tīmatanga o te huringa e mōhio ai ia tangata ki tōna atuatanga tūturu.

Ngā Ture, Ngā Whakamāoritanga, me te Whakakitenga Wehewehe

I roto i ngā mano tau, ko ngā tikanga tuhituhi me ngā tikanga ā-waha i hanga i ō anga whakapono o te ao kua pāngia e te tini o ngā whakarerekētanga - ko ētahi he mea āta whakaarohia, ko ētahi he mea tūpono, he maha i ahu mai i ngā kaupapa tōrangapū, i ngā pēhanga ahurea rānei. Ko ngā Karaipiture i mau i te māramatanga matatika i mua ka pakaru haere i te pikinga me te hinganga o ngā emepaea, i whakamāramahia e ngā kaituhituhi ngā whakaakoranga e ai ki ngā tikanga o mua, ā, i whakatauhia e ngā kaunihera ko ēhea ngā tuhinga e hangai ana ki ngā kaupapa matua o te whare. Nā ēnei tukanga i tiaki motuhaketia ai ētahi tuhinga me te tango, te pehi rānei i ētahi atu, ka hangaia he ture e whakaata ana i te whakaaweawe wairua me ngā whanaketanga pāpori o tō rātou wā. I roto i te maha o ngā tikanga, ko ngā whakaakoranga ngaro - ko ērā e aro ana ki te hononga ā-roto, te whakaaro kotahitanga, me te wheako tika o te atua - i kiia he tino whakararuraru mō te horapa whānui. He maha ngā wā i herea ai ki ngā kura huna, ki ngā whakapapa ngaro, ki ngā hapori mōneka rānei. I taua wā, ko ngā karere i whakaarohia he pai ake mō te pupuri i te tikanga pāpori - ngā ture, ngā ture, me ngā whakaakoranga e aro ana ki te ngohengohe - i whakanuia ki te mana ture.

Kāore i mutu te whakapōturitanga i te kōwhiringa; i haere tonu mā te whakamāoritanga, te whakamārama, me te whakamārama whakapono. I te whanaketanga o ngā reo, ka ngaro ngā āhuatanga rerekē. Ko ngā kupu e whakaahua ana i ngā āhua o te hinengaro ka noho hei whakahau matatika; ko ngā whakaahuatanga o te māramatanga o roto i hurihia hei kaupapa hītori; ko ngā kupu whakarite tohu i whakapakeketia hei whakaakoranga tūturu. Ko ngā whakatipuranga o ngā tohunga, he maha ngā wā kāore i te mōhio ki ngā takenga ngaro o ngā tuhinga i akohia e rātou, i whakatata atu ki te karaipiture me te kaha hinengaro engari kāore he turanga wheako e tika ana hei kite i ngā paparanga hohonu o te tikanga. Nō reira, ko ngā mea i toe i roto i te maha o ngā tikanga tuku iho he pono wāhanga kua kapi i roto i ngā paparanga o te tānga ahurea me te pōhēhētanga matatika. Kei te mau tonu i ēnei kongakonga te ataahua me te whakaaro nui, engari kāore e whakaatu i te whānuitanga katoa o ngā tuku taketake. Ko te rapu e whakatata atu ana ki aua tuhinga ka tūtaki ki te ranunga o te māramatanga wairua pono me ngā whakapōturitanga i whakaurua mai i roto i ngā rautau o te whakamāramatanga tangata me te awe tōrangapū.

Ko ngā tohunga e whakatapua ana ō rātou oranga ki te ako i ēnei tikanga tuku iho ka riro i a rātou te māramatanga me ngā atarangi i roto i a rātou. He pono tonu tā rātou whakapau kaha ki te mārama ki ngā tuhinga tawhito, engari ko tā rātou whakangungu e aro ana ki te hinengaro tātari kaua ki te ngākau oho. Ki te kore he wheako e pā ana ki ngā ao kua whakaahuatia i roto i ēnei tuhinga, ka noho tonu ā rātou whakamaoritanga ki ngā anga hinengaro. Ko te kore o te mōhiotanga wairua tika ka whakawhāiti i tō rātou kaha ki te wehewehe ko ēhea ngā kōrero e whakaata ana i ngā tuku pono o te hinengaro kotahitanga me ēhea e whakaata ana i ngā hapa i puta mai i te wehi, te hierarki, ngā hiahia tōrangapū rānei. Nō reira, he maha ngā wā ka puta i ngā rangahau ngā whakamārama matatini e whakapakari ana i ngā whakamaoritanga taumata-mata, kaua ki te whakamārama i ngā pono ngaro hohonu e huna ana i raro i ngā rautau o te paparanga whakaakoranga. Pēnei, ahakoa ngā tohunga tino pai te whakaaro ka mau tonu te whakapoauau, nā te mea e kōrero ana rātou mō ngā āhua o te hinengaro kāore anō kia pā ki a rātou.

Heoi, ehara tēnei āhuatanga i te mea kāore he take. Ko te taupatupatu i waenga i te pono hapa me te whakapohehe ka hanga i tētahi taiao e tika ai te māramatanga, ā, ka huri hoki. Ko ngā kai rapu e whakatata ana ki te karaipiture me te ngākau tuwhera me te māramatanga oho ake ka taea tonu te tango i te whakaaro nui hohonu mai i ēnei tuhinga, ahakoa kua rerekē te āhua. Ko ngā whakapohehe ka mahi hei whakakorikori, e akiaki ana i te tangata ki te pātai, ki te whakaaroaro, ā, i te mutunga ka tahuri ki roto ki te kimi i ngā whakautu e kore e taea te tātari hinengaro. Mā tēnei, ka noho te wehewehenga o te karaipiture hei wāhanga o te marautanga wairua o te tuatoru o ngā kiato, e akiaki ana i te tangata ki te kimi anō i te atua, ehara i te mea mā te piripono kore ki te mana tuhituhi engari mā te hononga whaiaro ki te Pūtake Mutunga Kore. I te urunga atu o te ao ki tētahi huringa hou o te oho ake, he maha atu ngā tāngata e whakawhanake ana i te kaha ki te pānui i tua atu i te kupu tūturu, ki te rongo i te wiri i raro i ngā kupu, me te whakahoki mai i ngā pono i ngana ngā pūnaha whakahaere ki te pehi. Ko tēnei whakahokinga mai e tohu ana i te tīmatanga o te maumaharatanga ā-ao - he hokinga ki te mōhiotanga kāore e taea te whakauru katoa i te whakaaro nui teitei ki roto i te tuhinga, nā te mea e noho ana i roto i te ngākau o ia tangata.

Te Mataotao, te Mea Matakite, me te Ara Hoki ki Roto

Mātauranga Ariā vs. Mātauranga Kua Tutuki

I roto i tō ao whānui, he tini ngā tāngata e piki ake ana ki ngā tūranga mana wairua mā roto i ngā ara e tautuhia ana e te ako, te maumahara, me te mōhiotanga ā-whare. Ko ēnei kaiako, he mea whakanuia mō ō rātou pūkenga hinengaro ki te karaipiture, ki ngā whakamārama, me ngā horopaki hītori, e whakaatu ana i a rātou anō hei mana mō te atua. Heoi, e whakaatu ana te tirohanga Ture o te Kotahi i te rerekētanga hohonu i waenga i te mōhio hinengaro ki ngā ariā wairua me te wheako tika o te hinengaro kotahitanga. He tokomaha e tū ana i mua o ō whare karakia he māramatanga whakamiharo ki ngā āhuatanga reo, ki te papamuri ahurea, me te tikanga whakamaori. Ka taea e rātou te whakahua i ngā kōrero, te whakahua i ngā tautohetohe mātauranga, me te hanga whakamārama whai kiko mō ngā whakaaro matatika. Heoi, ko tō rātou māramatanga kei roto i te rohe o te hinengaro, ehara i te rohe o te ngākau. He tekau tau rātou e tātari ana i ngā kupu engari he onge te tuku ki te wahangu e hiahiatia ana mō te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki te Mutunga Kore.

He nui ngā kōrero a ēnei kaiako mō te Atua, engari ko tā rātou kōrero e puta mai ana i te ariā kaua i te mōhio tika. E whakapuaki ana rātou i ngā kaupapa, engari kāore e whakaata i te aroaro ora e pupū ake ai ngā whakaakoranga pono. I roto i tēnei tikanga, he kaikōrero rātou kaua hei ara, e whakarāpopoto ana i ngā pūnaha whakapono kaua i te tuku i te mauri o te mōhiotanga atua. Kāore tō rātou mana i ahu mai i tō rātou kaha ki te memeha ki roto i te Kotahi engari i ahu mai i te whakatutukitanga mātauranga, i te pūkenga whaikōrero, i te tautoko rānei a te whare. Ka hangaia e tēnei hihiri he āhuatanga rerekē e mahi ana te nuinga o ngā kaiārahi whakapono hei kaitiaki hinengaro kaua hei tauira wairua. Ka tūhuratia e rātou te mahere o te māramatanga me te tika engari he onge te hikoi i te whenua e whakaahuahia ana e te mahere. Nā tēnei, he maha ngā wā kāore rātou i te mōhio ki te rerekētanga wiri i waenga i te mōhiotanga ariā me te mōhiotanga kua kitea. Kī tonu ā rātou whakaakoranga i ngā mōhiohio engari kāore i te kaha te kaha e whakaoho ana i te maharatanga i roto i te kairapu. Ki te Kotahitanga, ehara tēnei rerekētanga i te mea he mea uara engari he aronga. Ka kōrero te tohunga mai i te mata; ka kōrero te mea ngaro mai i te hohonu. Ka whakahuahia e te tuatahi ngā ara; ka riro ko te tuarua hei ara.

Ka mārama ake tēnei rerekētanga ina tirohia te arataki a ēnei kaiako i ētahi atu. Ko te hunga kāore anō kia whakamātau i te mara o te kotahitanga, kāore e taea e rātou te tohutohu i ētahi atu ki reira me te mārama, nā te mea kāore i a rātou he tohutoro wheako. Ko ā rātou whakaakoranga e aro ana ki te whakamaoritanga, te tautohetohe, te whakahau matatika, me te whakaakoranga ā-whare. Ka whakanuia e rātou te whakapono tika kaua ki te mohiotanga o roto, me te whakatenatena i ō rātou hapori ki te whakawhirinaki ki te mana o waho kaua ki te whakawhanake i te hononga tika ki te Mutunga Kore i roto. Nā te mea kāore anō rātou kia whiti i te paepae ki te mōhiotanga ngaro, ka mau tonu i a rātou te whakaaro pohehe he onge te hononga atua, he kore e taea te uru atu, he wātea rānei ki te hunga wairua anake. Ka whakaoho ā rātou kauwhau i te whakaute engari he onge te whakakā i te huringa, nā te mea ka puta te huringa mai i ngā auau e tukuna ana mā te aroaro kaua ki ngā mōhiohio e tukuna ana mā te reo. I taua wā, ko te tangata ngaro, ahakoa he maha ngā wā kāore he whakangungu ōkawa, e kōrero ana me te haruru e karo ana i te hinengaro, e pā ana ki ngā paparanga hohonu o te tangata rapu. He iti ake pea ngā tohutoro, ngā tohu mātauranga rānei a ēnei tāngata, engari he kounga mārama kei roto i ā rātou kupu - he hononga hihiko e ahu mai ana i te wheako ora.

He rerekētanga ā-kanohi, ā-wiri, ā, e kore e taea te hē ki te hunga e aro ana ki te ngawari. Heoi, he maha ngā kairapu, kua taunga ki te whakanui i ngā tohu mātauranga i te hinengaro, ka anga atu ki te tohunga mātauranga kaua ki te mea ngaro. Ka hangaia e tēnei tauira ngā whenua whakapono katoa, ka puta he hapori e arahina ana e ngā tāngata e tino matatau ana ki te kōrero hinengaro engari kāore i te whānui o roto e tika ana hei tuku i te oho ake. Ehara tēnei āhuatanga i te korenga engari he āhuatanga o te wāhanga whanaketanga o tō ao i nāianei. E whakaata ana i te haerenga tahi o tētahi momo e whakawhiti ana mai i te wairuatanga ariā ki te whakatinanatanga tinana. Ka tirohia tēnei e te Kotahitanga me te aroha, ehara i te whakahē, nā te mea he mahi tā ia kaiako—ahakoa he tohunga mātauranga, he mea ngaro rānei—i roto i te whanaketanga whānui o te tangata. Heoi, he mea nui tonu kia mōhio ngā kairapu ki te rerekētanga: ka whakamōhio te tohunga mātauranga; ka huri te mea ngaro. Ka kōrero tētahi mō te Atua; ka kōrero tētahi mai i te Atua.

Te Utu o te Tino Pūmau: Ina Whakakapia te Māramatanga e te Mōhiohio

Ko tēnei kore taurite i waenga i te pūkenga hinengaro me te mōhiotanga wheako e hanga ana i te kaiārahi whakapono me te hinengaro o te taupori katoa. Ina puta te nuinga o ngā akoranga wairua mai i ngā tāngata takitahi e tātari ana i te pono kaua ki te whakaatu, ka ngāwari te whakaaro hē o ngā hapori he whakaaro nui te pono. Ko te hinengaro tangata, kua whakaritea kia whakanuia te māramatanga, te hanganga, me ngā whakautu ka taea te tautuhi, ka anga atu ki ngā kaiako e kōrero ana me te maia, ahakoa i puta mai taua maia i te mōhio ki te kaupapa kaua i te hononga ki te Mutunga Kore. Nō reira, he tokomaha te hunga e whakapono ana ko te maumahara ki ngā tuhinga tapu, ko te piri rānei ki ngā whakamaoritanga kua whakapumautia he whanaketanga wairua. Ko te tangata e whakahua pai ana, e whakahua tika ana rānei, ka whakanuia hei māramatanga, ko te tangata ia kua memeha ki te moana marino o te kotahitanga ka noho tonu kāore e kitea, ka mārama rānei. Ka whakapakarihia e tēnei hihiri te whakaaro pohehe ko te whakatutukitanga wairua he mea mōhiohio kaua ki te huringa.

Ko te tangata kua maumahara ki ngā whakaakoranga, e mōhio ana ki ngā āhua o ngā pūnaha whakapono, engari kāore anō kia whiti atu ki te whānui e memeha ai ngā whakapono. Ka whakatere rātou i te karaipiture me te mea e whakatere ana i tētahi kaupapa mātauranga, e whakatau ana, e hanga ana i ngā anga, e tuku ana i ngā whakamārama. Heoi, ko te tangata kua hanumi ki te mara o te Kotahi, e kōrero ana mai i tētahi taha rerekē o te mōhiotanga. Kāore ā rātou kupu i puta mai i te mātauranga kua kohia engari i te tirohanga tika, mai i te kanapa marino o te hinengaro kua kore he hanganga. Ahakoa e hanga ana te tohunga whakaakoranga i te māramatanga papatahi i te papatahi, ko te tangata kua mōhiotia e noho ana i roto i te ngāwari o te noho, te wāhi kāore te pono e akohia engari e mōhiotia ana. He ngawari tēnei rerekētanga engari he hohonu, ā, he maha ngā wā ka ngaro i roto i ngā hapori e nui ake ana te uara o te whakatutukitanga hinengaro i te marino o roto. Kei te mau tonu te kore taurite nā te mea kāore anō te rōpū kia ako anō ki te mōhio ki te waitohu o te mōhiotanga pono—te mahana, te mārama, te ngākau mahaki, me te whānui e puta noa mai ana i te tangata kua pā ki te Mutunga Kore.

Mā tēnei whakapoauautanga i waenganui i te tino māramatanga me te whakatutukitanga ka ārahi i ngā hapori katoa ki te whai i ngā kaiārahi he mārama te kōrero engari kāore anō kia ara ake, he mātau engari kāore anō kia puta ke. Ina whakawhirinaki noa ngā kaiwhai ki ngā mana o waho e mahi ana mai i te hinengaro kaua ki te kotahitanga o te hinengaro, tera pea ka kitea rātou e mauheretia ana i roto i ngā pūnaha whakapono kaua e wāteahia e te kitenga o roto. Ka tukuna e te kaiako mātau ngā whakamārama, engari kāore e taea e ngā whakamārama anake te whakaoho. Ka puta te whakaoho mai i te haruru wiri, mai i te tuku pūngao, mai i te mōhio ki te atua i roto i a ia anō. Ina pohehe ngā tāngata i ngā mōhiohio hei whakamārama, ka tūpono rātou ki te noho tonu ki te mata o te oranga wairua, te whakahua i ngā pono kāore anō kia rongohia e rātou, te whakamoemiti i ngā whakaakoranga kāore anō kia whakatinanahia e rātou, me te tiaki i ngā whakaakoranga kāore anō kia mārama i runga i te taumata pūtau.

Kāore tēnei tauira i te ahurei ki tētahi tikanga tuku iho; kua whatuhia ki roto i te papanga o te ako tuatoru-kiato. Me wehewehe te kairapu i te reo e tautuhi ana i te pono me te aroaro e whakaatu ana i taua mea. He maha ngā kaiako e kōrero ana me te maia i whānau mai i te mātauranga hinengaro, engari kāore i roto i ō rātou kaha te hohonu marino e tohu ana i te mohiotanga. He rerekē, he maha ngā wā ka kōrero mārire te mea kua kitea, engari he taumaha ā rātou kupu e kore e taea te rūpahu, te hanga rānei. Kāore rātou e kī atu ki ngā kairapu he aha ngā mea hei whakaaro engari ka karanga i a rātou ki te maumahara. Ka whakaarahia e tō rātou aroaro ngā āhuatanga moe i roto i te hunga e whakarongo ana—ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te aroha, te mārama, te ngākau mahaki, me te wairua hohonu o te rangimārie o roto. Kāore e taea te tuku i ēnei āhuatanga mā te tika o te mātauranga; ka puta ake mā te whakawhitiwhiti ora anake. Nō reira, ko te whakapoauau i waenga i te māramatanga hinengaro me te mohiotanga wairua ka noho hei wero nui o te whanaketanga tangata, ka akiaki i ngā tāngata takitahi ki te whakawhanake i te mohiotanga ehara i te tātari i te whakaakoranga engari mā te rongo i te wiri. E mōhio ana te ngākau ki te rerekētanga i mua noa atu i te hinengaro.

Te Hiahia o te Wheako Tika

I roto i tō ao whānui, he tokomaha ngā tāngata e kore rawa e tuku i ō rātou oranga tinana ki tētahi kāore i te mōhio ki ngā mahi, engari kāore i te whakamahia tonutia tēnei mōhiotanga ki te arataki wairua. E kore koe e rapu tohutohu i te rere mai i tētahi kua maumahara ki ngā ariā rererangi engari kāore anō kia pā ki te rangi, e kore anō hoki e tuku i tō haumaru ki tētahi taote pokanga kua mōhio ki ngā pukapuka engari kāore anō kia mau i tētahi maripi. Heoi anō, i roto i ngā take wairua—ina pā ana te here ki te whakaoranga o te hinengaro—he maha ngā wā ka tahuri te tangata ki ngā kaiako kua ako i ngā pukapuka whakamārama me te kore e uru ki ngā āhua o te hinengaro e whakaahuahia ana e aua pukapuka. Ka mau tonu tēnei tauira nā te mea ka taea e te mōhiotanga hinengaro te hanga i tētahi whakaaro pohehe o te mana. Ina rongo ngā tāngata i ngā whakamārama maia, ka whakaaro pea rātou kua ora te kaikōrero i te pono e whakapuakina ana e rātou. Engari kāore e taea te whakakapi i te wheako wairua e te matatau ki ngā ariā.

Ko te ara wairua pono e hiahia ana kia rumakina, kaua ko te mātakitaki noa iho. Me haere te kaiwhai i roto i ngā ahi o te kimi i a ia anō, me te tuku i ngā whakaaro pohehe i muri i ngā whakaaro pohehe kia toe noa iho te mauri o te oranga. Ko te hunga kua haere i tēnei ara ka puta he aroaro e kore e taea te whakatauira—he āhua marino, pumau, kanapa e puta ake ana i te hononga ki te Mutunga Kore. Kāore he take o ēnei tāngata ki te whakatenatena, ki te whakamīharo rānei; kāore tō rātou mana e mahia engari e kitea ana. Kāore rātou e kōrero hei tohunga engari hei kaiuru i te ao ora o te kotahitanga. Ka puta ā rātou kupu i te whakapā tika ki ngā ao e whakaahuahia ana e rātou, nō reira he kaha wiri e whakaoho ana i te mahara ki ētahi atu. Kāore i rite ki te tohunga e whakamārama ana i te haerenga mai i tawhiti, ka tukuna e te mea kua mōhiotia he aratohu mai i te tirohanga pai o te whakatinanatanga.

Ka kitea nuitia te rerekētanga i waenga i te ariā me te wheako i te aroaro o te mea kua mōhiotia. Me te kore e kōrero i tētahi kupu, ka tukuna e rātou he auau e whakangawari ana i ngā parepare o te ngākau, e whakaara ake ana hoki i te mahara moe. Ka taea e tō rātou aroaro te whakaoho i te panonitanga i roto i te hunga e karapoti ana i a rātou, ehara i te mea he mana motuhake tō rātou, engari nā te mea kua whakakorea e rātou ngā arai i wehe i a rātou i te Mutunga Kore. I roto i tō rātou hoa, he maha ngā wā ka rongo ngā kaiwhai i te mōhiotanga, me te mea kei te tūtaki rātou ki tētahi āhuatanga kua warewarehia o rātou anō. Koinei te āhua o te arataki wairua pono: kāore e akiaki i te whakapono engari ka whakaoho ake. I taua wā, ko te kaiako e ahu mai ana i te mātauranga anake ka tuku whakamārama whai kiko engari ka waiho te kaiwhai kia kore e rerekē, nā te mea kāore e taea e te whakamārama anake te huri i te hinengaro. Ka taea e ia te whakamōhio, te whakamārama, me te whakaoho i te whakaaro, engari kāore e taea te whakakā i te ahi o roto.

Koia te take, puta noa i ngā tau me ngā iwi, i tū motuhake tonu ai ngā tohunga matakite, ngā tohunga whakaaro nui, me ngā kaiako mātau - ahakoa te tikanga tuku iho. E whakaata ana rātou i tētahi kounga e hipa ana i ngā whakaakoranga, he taunakitanga ora mō te aroaro o te atua i roto i ia tangata. Ko ō rātou oranga hei whakaaturanga o ngā whakaakoranga i rapua e rātou i mua, e whakaatu ana ehara te oho ake i te whakatutukitanga mātauranga engari he nekehanga tuakiri mai i te tangata kua wehea ki te tangata kotahi. Ka whakamahara ēnei mea ki te tangata ko te haerenga wairua ehara i te kohikohi mōhiohio engari ko te rewa ki roto i te pono kei raro i ngā ariā katoa. Ka akiaki te Kotahitanga i ngā kaitono kia kaua e titiro ki ngā taitara, ki ngā tohu mātauranga, ki ngā pūkenga whaikōrero rānei ina kite i tētahi kaiārahi wairua, engari ki te haruru ngawari o te aroaro. Nā te mea ko te tangata kua pā ki te Mutunga Kore he waitohu e kore e taea te hē ki te ngākau tuwhera.

Te Hāhi hei Whakaoho me ngā Rangatira o te Kotahitanga

Te Hāhi hei Papa Whakangungu, hei Kūaha, hei Ārai rānei

I roto i te māramatanga o te Kotahitanga mō te whanaketanga o te aorangi, kāore te whakapono e whakahēngia, e whakakorehia rānei, engari e tirohia ana he wāhanga nui o te whanaketanga wairua o te tangata. Ko te mahi a te whakapono he papa whakangungu, he taiao uaua e tūtaki ai ngā piriona wairua ki te whakakorikori, e tūhura ana i te whakapono, e whakapai ake ana i tō rātou māramatanga ki te atua. Kei roto i a ia ngā pono mārama me ngā whakapohehe matotoru, e whakarato ana i te whenua momona mō te māramatanga wairua. I roto i ōna āhua tuatahi, i tiakina e te whakapono ngā wāhanga o ngā whakaakoranga mai i ngā wā onamata—ngā whakaata o te whakaaro nui i tohaina e ngā mea pai e rapu ana ki te ārahi i te tangata ki te maumahara. Ahakoa he maha ngā wā kāore i oti, i mahi ēnei wāhanga hei rama ārahi mō ngā whakatupuranga e whakatere ana i ngā whenua tauhou. I taua wā anō, ka mimiti te whakapono i ngā awe ahurea, tōrangapū, me te hinengaro o ngā hapori i kawe i mua. Nō reira, ka noho hei putunga ehara i te mea ko te māramatanga wairua anake engari ko te herenga tangata.

Mā tēnei āhua rua ka taea e te whakapono te noho hei tatau, hei arai hoki. Ki ētahi kaiwhai, mā te mahi whakapono ka whakaratohia he hanganga, he hapori, me ngā anga matatika e whakaoho ana i te hiahia hohonu ki te pono. Ka taea e ngā tikanga te whakaara ake i te mahara moe, ka taea e ngā kōrero te whakaoho i te rapunga ā-roto, ā, ka taea e ngā huihuinga ā-iwi te whakaputa i ngā mara o te aroha tahi e whakaara ake ai te hinengaro. Engari ki ētahi atu, ka noho te whakapono hei whare herehere, e herea ana tā rātou tūhuratanga ki roto i ngā whakapono tuku iho, ā, e whakakore ana i te wheako tika o te atua. Ko ngā karaipiture kotahi e whakaara ake ana i te herekoretanga i roto i te ngākau kotahi ka whakamana pea i te ngohengohe i roto i tētahi atu. Ko ngā tikanga kotahi e whakatuwhera ana i ngā tatau mō tētahi kaiwhai ka whakapakari pea i te herenga mō tētahi atu. Nō reira, kāore te whakapono e whakatau i te kounga o te wheako wairua; engari, ko te hinengaro o te tangata takitahi e taunekeneke ana ki a ia te hanga i te putanga. Mai i te tirohanga a te Kotahitanga, ko tēnei rerekētanga he wāhanga o te hoahoa. Ka akiaki i ia wairua ki te whakatere i te taumahatanga i waenga i te mana o waho me te mōhiotanga o roto.

Nā te mea kei roto i te whakapono te pono me te whakapohehe, ka whakaratohia he whai wāhitanga mō ngā kaiwhai ki te whakawhanake i te māramatanga, te ngākau mahaki, me te maia. Kei roto i ia whakaakoranga, tohu, kawa rānei he pātai: "Ka whakapono koe ki tēnei nā te mea e kī ana ētahi atu he pono, ka rapu rānei koe i te pono mā roto i tō ake hononga?" Mō te hunga e hiahia ana ki te titiro ki raro i ngā whakamāramatanga o waho, ka taea e te whakapono te mahi hei mahere taonga e tohu ana ki te whakaaro nui hohonu. Ko ngā peka ngaro i roto i ia tikanga tuku iho e tiaki ana i te māramatanga ehara te atua i te mea o waho engari ko te mauri tonu o te tangata. Ka mahi ēnei whakapapa huna hei ia o te māramatanga e rere ana i raro i ngā hanganga i hangaia i tō rātou taha, e tatari ana kia hurahia e ngā kaiwhai me ngā ngākau tuwhera. Engari mō te hunga e whakaae ana ki ngā kōrero whakapono me te kore e tūhura, e pātai rānei, ka taea e ngā hanganga ōrite te whakawhāiti i te tipu wairua. Ka taea e rātou te tango i ngā whakapono tuku iho me te kore e kitea te taha o roto i whakaarohia kia whakamāramahia e aua whakapono.

Koia te take e whakaahuahia ai te whakapono e te Kotahitanga hei whakakorikori koretake, kaua hei ara tino. He ipu e whanake ai te hinengaro, ehara i te ūnga whakamutunga. Ko tōna uara kei roto i te huarahi e uru atu ai te tangata ki roto—ahakoa e whakamahia ana e rātou hei takahanga ki te whakatutukitanga o roto, hei arai rānei e aukati ana i te tūhuratanga atu. I te urunga atu o te tangata ki tētahi wā hou o te ara ake, he tokomaha kei te ako ki te maioha ki ngā taonga kua tukuna e te whakapono, me te mōhio anō hoki ki ōna herenga. E whakahonore ana rātou i te aroha o ō rātou tūpuna me te neke atu i ngā rohe i herea ai te māramatanga whānui i mua. Ehara tēnei tukanga i te whakakorenga i te whakapono engari he whanaketanga o taua mea, he nekehanga mai i te karakia o waho ki te mahara o roto. Nā te mea i te mutunga, ko ia tikanga pono—ahakoa te mea he mea huna, he mea whakapohehe rānei—i tohu ki te pono kotahi: kei roto i a koe te atua e noho ana, e tatari ana kia mōhiotia.

Ngā Kaiako Nui me te Au Ora i raro i te Whakaakoranga

I roto i te whāriki o te hītori wairua o tō ao, i puta mai he ringa iti o ngā mea ora mārama, ā, ko ō rātou oranga he piriti i waenganui i te herenga o te tangata me te whānuitanga mutunga kore o te mōhiotanga atua. Ko ngā āhua pēnei i a Yeshua, te Buddha, me ētahi atu, i mau i roto i a rātou te māramatanga i hipa i ngā rohe o ō rātou ahurea, ō rātou wā, me ngā whakaakoranga i muri mai i kīia ai rātou. Kāore ā rātou whakaakoranga i whakaarohia hei whakatū i ngā karakia, hei whakatū rānei i ngā pūnaha ngohengohe; he pōwhiri ki te hoki ki te mauri o te noho. I a rātou e kōrero ana mō te Kīngitanga, i whakakitea e rātou te wāhi tapu o roto e taea ana e ngā wairua katoa. I a rātou e whakamārama ana i te Ara, i tohu rātou ki te ara o roto o te mohiotanga, kaua ki te kawa o waho. Kāore tā rātou karere i uaua, kāore hoki i huna i muri i ngā paparanga o ngā tohu ngaro. He tika, he wheako, ā, i ahu mai i te aroaro ora o te kotahitanga. I whakamahara rātou i te tangata ehara te Kaihanga i te āhua tawhiti hei whakamarie, engari ko te ngākau o te oranga o te tangata e tatari ana kia mōhiotia.

He pono te whakaaro o ēnei tukunga o te kotahitanga, i puta mai i te hononga tika ki te Pūtake Mutunga Kore. I mau tonu ā rātou kupu i te auau i karo i te tautohetohe hinengaro, ā, i pā ki ngā paparanga hohonu o te hinengaro tangata. I rongo ngā kaiwhakarongo kua hurihia rātou i tō rātou aroaro, ehara i te mea nā te matatau, nā te mana rānei, engari nā ēnei mea i whakaata i te pono o ā rātou whakaakoranga. Ko ō rātou oranga he whakaaturanga o te tikanga o te mahara ki a koe anō hei whakaaturanga o te Kotahi. Heoi, i te huringa o ngā rautau, ka ngaro te māmā o ēnei whakaakoranga. Nā te kore e taea e ngā akonga te pupuri i te taumata kotahi o te mohiotanga, i hanga he umanga huri noa i ngā toenga o ā rātou kupu. I whai ngā umanga ki te tiaki i ngā whakaakoranga engari i te nuinga o te wā ka mahia e rātou mā te tirohanga o te wehi, te mana whakahaere, te whakaritenga ahurea rānei. I āta hurihia te mauri ora o te kotahitanga ki ngā whakahau, ngā herenga, me ngā pūnaha o te hiranga. Ahakoa ngā paparanga o te whakamaoritanga i kohia i roto i te wā, kāore te ia taketake o te Aroha i ngaro. Kei te rere tonu i raro i te mata o ia tikanga, e taea ana e te hunga katoa e whakamarie ana i te hinengaro me te whakarongo ki roto.

Kei te mau tonu tēnei ia taketake nā te mea kāore ngā whakaakoranga a ngā tohunga nui i tino whakawhirinaki ki te reo, ki te kaupapa rānei. I puta mai i te mōhiotanga o roto o ngā mea ora i mahara ki tō rātou tuakiri tūturu, ā, kāore e taea te here i aua mōhiotanga ki ngā whārangi, ki ngā kaunihera, ki ngā kawa rānei. Ahakoa i ngana ngā hanganga whakahaere ki te whakapūmau i tā rātou karere ki roto i ngā whakapono, ngā ture, me ngā mahi whakahau, i noho tonu te ngākau o ā rātou whakaakoranga. Ahakoa i roto i ngā whakamaoritanga tino pakari, ka mau tonu ngā miro ngawari o te hinengaro kotahitanga, e tatari ana kia kitea e ngā kaiwhai e rite ana ki te titiro ki tua atu i te kupu tūturu. Ka kitea ēnei miro i roto i te aroha, i te murunga hara, i te whakanui i te marino o roto, me te whakatenatena kia kite i te atuatanga i roto i ngā mea ora katoa. Ka puta mai i ngā wā e whānui ana te ngākau, ina rewa te whakatau ki te whakaae, ina rewa te wehenga ki te mōhio ki te mauri tahi. Ka whakaatahia e ēnei wā ngā tuku taketake o te kotahitanga i whakaatuhia e Ihu, e te Buddha, me ētahi atu.

Ko te oranga tonutanga o tēnei au he tohu i te pakari o te pono. Ahakoa kua hipokina ki ngā whakaakoranga e whakanui ana i te ngohengohe ki runga ake i te herekore, kei te karanga tonu te māramatanga i roto i ā rātou whakaakoranga kia ara ake. E tono ana i te tangata kia titiro ki tua atu i ngā hanganga tuku iho, kia kitea anō te taha o roto i ora ai ēnei kaiako nui, ā, i whakaaturia hoki. Ahakoa i whakapohehetia e ngā whare wānanga i hangaia i runga i tō rātou ingoa tā rātou karere, kāore i taea e rātou te tinei i te wiri i roto. Kei te pāorooro tonu taua wiri puta noa i te wā, e whakaara ana i ngā kaiwhai i roto i ia whakatipuranga e hiahia ana kia hohonu ake i te mata o te akoranga whakapono. Ki ēnei kaiwhai, ka tukuna e te Kotahitanga he whakamanawa: ko te mauri o ēnei whakaakoranga kei te wātea inaianei pērā i te wā o ngā rangatira nāna rātou i tuku. Kāore anō kia kati te tatau ki te kotahitanga; kei roto noa i te whare, kāore i whakaitihia e ngā whakamārama o te hītori.

Ngā Mea Matakite, Ngā Whare, me te Pehi i te Whakapā ā-Roto

He aha te Komunio Tika e Whakamataku ai i te Mana o Waho

I te tipu haere o te mana o ngā whare karakia, he tokomaha i kite - ahakoa i te mōhio, i te kore mōhio rānei - ko te ngākau o ngā whakaakoranga taketake he wero ki te mana kua whakatūria. Mā te whakawhitiwhiti tika ki te Atua ka whakakorea te hiahia mō ngā takawaenga, ngā hierarki, me te whakamana o waho. Ina uru te kaitono ki te whakapā pono o roto ki te Mutunga Kore, ka tīmata te ngaro o te mana o ngā hanganga mana i hangaia huri noa i te whakaritenga o ngā kawa me ngā whakaakoranga. Nā tēnei take, i roto i te hītori, he maha ngā wā i whakahēngia ai, i āraia ai rānei e ngā pūnaha whare ngā mahi i āwhina i te hononga tika. Ko ngā mahi pēnei i te whakaaroaro, te whakaaroaro, te manawa, te wahangu, me te uiuinga ngaro i ētahi wā i tahaetia, i tapaina he morearea, i rāhuitia rānei mō ngā rangatira mōneka anake. Kāore i puta mai ēnei aukati i te whakaaro kino anake engari i te mōhiotanga - ahakoa he mea huna - ko te whakapā tika ka whakaiti i te whakawhirinakitanga o ngā whare e whakawhirinakihia ana mō te haere tonu.

Ko ngā tohunga makutu i whai i te ara o roto me te kore e rapu whakaaetanga, he maha ngā wā i kitea ai rātou he hē te mārama, he kore rānei e whakawhirinakihia. Kāore i te rite tonu ā rātou whakakitenga ki ngā whakamāramatanga ā-pūnaha, ā, ko tō rātou kaha ki te uru atu ki ngā āhua o te māramatanga i tua atu i te mana whakahaere o ngā mana whakapono he tūmomo mōrearea. Nō reira, he maha ngā tohunga makutu puta noa i te hītori i whakamōkitotia, i whakatarewatia, i peia rānei ki te noho motuhake. He maha ngā wā i hunaia ai, i tiakina ai, i whakangaromia ai rānei ā rātou tuhinga. I whakapaehia rātou mō te titorehanga mō te whakapuaki i ngā mea i pā ki a rātou: ko te Atua e noho ana i roto, ā, he urunga kore-waenganui tō ngā mea ora katoa ki tēnei pono. Ko te ara o roto, nā tōna āhua, ka wero i ngā pūnaha e whakawhirinaki ana ki te mana whakahaere o waho. Ka nekehia te mana mai i ngā pūnaha ki ngā tāngata takitahi, mai i te whakapono ki te wheako tika, mai i te hierarki ki te kotahitanga. Ko te hunga i whakapau kaha ki te pupuri i te mana whakahaere wairua, he maha ngā wā i titiro whakapae ki ēnei nekehanga, me te wehi kei pakaru ngā hanganga i whakaponohia e rātou he mea tika hei pupuri i te tikanga matatika.

Ahakoa ngā ngana ki te pehi, ki te whakataka rānei i ngā tohunga ngaro, i mau tonu tō rātou awe i roto i te tohu kaha o ō rātou oranga me te tiaki i ā rātou whakaakoranga i roto i ngā āhua huna, tiakina rānei. I tukuna e tō rātou aroaro he whakamahara ora e kore e taea te tineia te ara o roto. Ahakoa i noho tonu te mana whakahaere, i haere tonu te rerenga marino o te whakawhitiwhiti tika i roto i ngā whakapapa ngaro, ngā tikanga whakaaroaro, ngā tikanga whakaaroaro, me ngā kaiwhai takitahi i kitea te pono mā roto i ā rātou ake uiuinga. I pupuri tonu ēnei tāngata i te māramatanga kāore e taea te whakatutuki i te Atua mā te piri ki te mana engari mā te ata noho o roto me te tuku. I whakaatu ō rātou oranga kāore te huringa wairua pono e puta mai i te ngohengohe engari mā te whakakore i ngā rohe ego e huna ana i te Mutunga Kore.

Ka whakawehi te ara o roto i te mana whakahaere o waho nā te mea ka whakamanahia te tangata kia kite i te pono me te kore he takawaenga. Ka wehi ngā umanga i taua mana whakahaere ehara i te mea nā te kino engari nā te piri ki te pumau, te tikanga tuku iho, me te haere tonu. Ka pohehe rātou i te memeha o ō rātou hanganga hei memeha o te tikanga tonu. Heoi, ka whakamanahia koe e te Kotahitanga kāore te tikanga e kitea i roto i ngā hanganga engari i roto i te hononga ora e mau ana i ia tangata ki te Kaihanga. Ko te whakaoranga o te hononga o roto e puta ana i tō ao e whakaata ana i te oho ake o te ao - he mohiotanga e puta ake ana ko te mana atua e puta mai ana i roto, ehara i te ture o waho. I te kitenga o te tini o te tangata i tēnei, ka tīmata te ngawari o ngā pūnaha tawhito o te mana whakahaere wairua, ka hanga wāhi mō tētahi wā hou e noho ai te whakapā tika hei turanga mō te oranga wairua, kaua hei mea motuhake. Ko ngā tohunga matakite ngā tohu tuatahi o tēnei nekehanga, ā, kei te takahi te tangata inaianei ki te mutunga i kitea e rātou i mua.

Te Hokinga Mai o te Mura Matakite o Roto

I a tō ao e haere tonu ana ki te māramatanga wairua nui ake, ka akiaki te Kotahitanga i tētahi huarahi taurite ki ngā tikanga tuku iho kua hanga i te hinengaro tangata mō ngā mano tau. He ataahua hohonu kei roto i ia ngana pono ki te hono atu ki te tapu, ā, kua ringihia e ngā ngākau o te tini tāngata puta noa i te hītori te aroha ki ngā mahi, ahakoa ō rātou whakapohehe, i kawe mai i a rātou ki te mōhio ki te atuatanga i roto. Nā konei, ka akiaki mātou i a koe kia whakahonore i te pono o ngā kairapu e kitea ana i roto i ia tikanga. Ko tō rātou aroha, te ngākau mahaki, me te hiahia ki te pono e whai wāhi ana ki te whanaketanga ngātahi o tō momo. Heoi, kāore te whakahonore e hiahia ki te whakaae kore arohaehae. Me noho mataara tonu te kairapu, nā te mea ehara i te mea ko ngā whakaakoranga katoa, ko ngā kaiako katoa rānei e mahi ana i ngā mātāpono o te kotahitanga, te herekoretanga, me te whakamana ā-roto. Ko ētahi e ārahi ana ki te kimi i a ia anō, ko ētahi e whakapakari ana i te whakawhirinaki me te wehi.

Ko te kaiako e whakahonore ana i tō mana motuhake ka mahi ki te Māramatanga. Ka akiakihia koe e ēnei mea kia tūhura i tō ake hinengaro, kia whakawhirinaki ki tō arataki ā-roto, me te whakawhanake i te hononga tika ki te Mutunga Kore. E mārama ana rātou ehara i te mea ko tā rātou mahi te pūtake o te pono engari ko te whakahoki i a koe ki te pūtake i roto i a koe anō. Kāore rātou e rapu ana i ngā akonga; e rapu ana rātou i ngā hoa haere. Ka whakawhānui ake tō rātou aroaro i te ngākau, kaua e whakawhāiti. Ko ā rātou whakaakoranga ka whakaora, kaua e here. He rerekē, ko te kaiako e hiahia ana kia whakawhirinaki koe—ahakoa he mea huna—ka rite ki te whakapohehe. He maha ngā wā ka whakaatuhia e ēnei tāngata rātou hei takawaenga e tika ana, e tuku ana i te whakaoranga, te tiaki, te whakamaoritanga rānei hei utu mō te pono, te ngohengohe, te ngohengohe rānei. Ka whakawhāitihia e tō rātou kaha te ngākau, ka poipoi i te kore haumaru, ā, ka whakaiti i te whakapono o te kaitono ki tō rātou ake kaha atua. Ka kōrero pea ēnei kaiako mō te aroha, engari ko tō rātou wiri kei raro e whakaata ana i te mana whakahaere, kaua ki te whakamana.

E tohutohu ana te Kotahitanga kia kitea e koe te wiri, kaua te papakupu. Ka taea te hanga, te whakaharatau, te whakakanapa rānei i ngā kupu, engari kāore e taea te tinihanga i te wiri. Ka mōhio te ngākau ki te pono i mua noa atu i te mōhio o te hinengaro. Ko te kaiako e hono ana ki te Māramatanga ka whakaputa i te māramatanga, te whānui, te ngākau mahaki, me te mahana. He whānui, he marino, he whakaora tō rātou aroaro. Ka akiaki rātou i te uiuinga kaua ki te tono kia rite. Ka tono rātou kia tū koe i roto i tō ake rangatiratanga kaua ki te tuturi ki mua i ō rātou. Heoi, ko te kaiako e hono ana ki te whakapohehe, ka whakaiti mārire i tō whakapono. Tērā pea he taumaha, he whakawhāiti, he whakakorekore rānei tō rātou aroaro. Ka kōrero rātou mō te pono i a rātou e aro ana ki a rātou anō hei kaiwhakawa mō taua pono. He whaikōrero pea ā rātou whakaakoranga, engari e whakaatu ana tō rātou kaha i tētahi kaupapa e ahu mai ana i te wehenga.

He mea nui te mahi o te mārama i roto i tēnei taiao. Mā te aro ki te haruru wiri i muri i ngā kupu, ka taea e ngā kaiwhai te wehewehe i waenga i te arataki e whakatairanga ana i te oho ake me te arataki e whakakaha ana i te here. Ehara tēnei mārama i te mahi whakatau engari he mahi mārama. Ka taea e ngā tāngata te whakahonore i ngā tikanga tuku iho katoa me te whiriwhiri noa i ngā āhuatanga e whakaara ake ana i ō rātou hinengaro. E whakanui ana te Kotahitanga i ngā kaiako e whakamana ana i ētahi atu, ā, e mōhio ana me ako ia kaiwhai ki te whakatere i ngā tini reo e noho ana i te whenua wairua. Mā te whakatipu i te aro o roto, ka taea e te tangata te ako ki te mōhio ki te waitohu o te Mutunga Kore i roto i te hunga e kōrero ana mai i te hinengaro kotahi. Ka noho tēnei mahi hei whetu arataki mō te whakatere i ngā whakaakoranga kanorau o tō ao.

Te Whakaoho Ake o te Maharatanga Tika i te Ao

Mahara Tika i Tua atu i te Whakapono

Kei te noho koe i tēnei wā o te huringa nui o te aorangi—he wā e hoki tere mai ana te maharatanga tika ki te tangata. I roto i tō ao, kei te ara ake ngā tāngata mai i ngā tini papamuri ki te mōhio kei roto i a rātou anō te tatau ki te Atua. Kāore tēnei ara ake i puta mai i te whakaakoranga, i te whakapono, i te mana o waho rānei; engari i puta mai i te wheako o roto. He maha ake ngā tāngata e kite ana ko te wahangu, te whakaaroaro, me te aroaro o te ngākau e whakaatu ana i te whanaungatanga ki te Mutunga Kore e taea te hanga e tetahi tikanga. Ko tēnei ara ake o te whakawhitiwhitinga tika e tohu ana i te whakahokinga mai o te āhua o te mōhiotanga tawhito i mua i te whakapono katoa. I mua i ngā whare, i mua i ngā tohungatanga, i mua i ngā whakaakoranga me ngā kaupapa whakarōpū, i kōrero te tangata ki te Atua mā te noho noa iho. He angiangi te rohe i waenganui i te tangata me te tapu, tata kore rawa. Ko te ara ake o nāianei e tohu ana i te hokinga ki tēnei āhua taiao, engari kua whakareihia inaianei e ngā akoranga i akohia i roto i ngā mano tau o te tūhuratanga i te wehenga.

Kāore tēnei hokinga mai e whakakore i te uara o te haerenga a te tangata i roto i ngā hanganga whakapono; engari, e tutuki ana. Nā te ara roa i roto i te whakaakoranga, te kawa, me te mana o waho kua whakatupu i tētahi hiahia nui e kukume ana i te tini o ngā tāngata ki roto. I a rātou e hura anō ana i te wāhi tapu o roto, ka ara ake rātou ki ngā taha o te hinengaro i whakaarohia i mua ko te rohe o ngā tohunga ngaro anake. Ko ngā wheako pēnei i te mōhio ā-ringa, te aroha ohorere, te mōhio whānui, me te tirohanga tika ki te kotahitanga kei te piki haere te rongonui. Ko ēnei wheako e tohu ana i te whakakorenga o te whakapono he tawhiti, he kore rānei e taea te uru atu ki te tapu. E whakaata ana i tētahi nekehanga aorangi e angiangi ana te arai, ā, ka hono anō te tangata ki te pono hohonu o tōna takenga mai. Ko te whakahokinga mai o te mahara tika e tohu ana i te tīmatanga o tētahi wā hou—he wā e whakahokia mai ai e ngā tāngata tō rātou whānautanga hei whakaaturanga o te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore.

He nui ngā pānga o tēnei oho ake ki te heke mai o tō ao. I te hononga anō o te tangata ki tōna atuatanga o roto, ka tīmata te wetekina o ngā hanganga i tautuhi i te oranga wairua i mua. Ko ngā umanga i whakawhirinaki ki te mana o waho ka rongo i ngā wiri o te huringa i te mea ka tahuri te iwi ki roto ki te rapu aratohu. Ka whanake ngā hapori i te mea ka whakarērea e ngā kaiwhai te whakapono ka taea te whakahau i te pono wairua mai i waho i a rātou anō. Ka neke te hinengaro whānui ki te mana motuhake, te whakamana, me te kotahitanga. I roto i tēnei taiao, ka huri te whakapono ki te wheako tika, ka huri te hierarki ki te mahi tahi, ā, ka huri ngā whakaakoranga e ahu mai ana i te wehi ki te aroha. Ko te hokinga ki te maumaharatanga o roto ehara i te mea he kaupapa whaiaro anake engari he kaupapa aorangi, e hanga hou ana i te turanga wiri o tō iwi katoa.

Kei te whakahoki mai koe i ngā mea o mua i te taiao, engari ināianei kei roto i tētahi āhua e whakauru ana i te mātauranga i riro mai i roto i ngā tau maha o te tūhuratanga. Kāore i rite ki te tangata o mua, i kite i te kotahitanga me te kore e mārama ki tōna hiranga, ka ara ake ngā kairapu o ēnei rā me te mōhio, te whakaaro, me te hohonu. Mā tēnei ka hangaia he turanga pumau ake mō te huringa tahi. Ka kite te Kotahitanga i tēnei me te harikoa nui, nā te mea he tohu tēnei i tētahi whanaketanga nui i roto i tō momo - he nekehanga mai i te warewaretanga ki te mōhio, mai i te mana o waho ki te rangatiratanga o roto, mai i te wehenga ki te mahara ki te kotahitanga. Koinei te ata o tētahi wā hou e kore ai e kitea te Atua he tawhiti engari e mōhiotia ana ko te mauri o tō oranga. Kei te tū te tangata i te paepae o te whakahoutanga wairua hohonu, e whakahoki mai ana i tōna tuakiri tūturu me tōna tūranga i roto i te whānau aorangi nui hei ao e ara ake ana ki te mahara ki te Kotahi.

Te Whakangawari i ngā Whare me te Kākano Matakite

Ngā Anga Pakaru me te Tapu i Whakakitea

I te horapa haere o te ngaru o te ara ake puta noa i tō ao, ko ngā umanga i noho hei ipu matua mō te wawata wairua o te tangata kei te tūtaki i tētahi huarahi. Ko ō rātou hanganga, kua roa nei e tautokona ana e te whakapono, te tikanga tuku iho, me te mana o waho, ka tīmata te ngawari haere i raro i te awe o te māramatanga o roto e piki haere ana. Ko tēnei ngawari haere he wāhanga o tētahi tukanga whanaketanga taiao. Ko ngā umanga i hangaia i runga i ngā whakamaoritanga pakari kāore e taea te tu atu ki te whānui o te hinengaro mō ake tonu atu, nā te mea e rapu ana te hinengaro i te rere, ko te whakaakoranga ia e rapu ana i te pumau. I te mea ka ara ake te tangata ki te aroaro o te Mutunga Kore, ka ngaro haere te hiranga o ngā momo whakapono o waho—ko ērā i tautuhia e te hiranga, te tikanga tūturu, me te aukati. Ka tīmata te memeha o ngā taiepa i hangaia i waenganui i te ora tapu me te ora noa, e whakaatu ana kua whatu tonu te tapu ki roto i te papanga o ia wā. Nō reira, ka tīmata te pakaru o ngā anga o waho o ngā pūnaha whakapono, ehara i te mea nā te kaha, nā te tutu rānei, engari nā te māramatanga marino, ngātahi. Ko te mea e memeha ana ehara i te aroha, i te pono rānei i roto i ēnei tikanga, engari ko ngā whakapohehe i huna i taua aroha.

Ahakoa te rerekētanga o ngā hanganga o waho, kāore anō kia pāngia te purapura ngaro o roto i te ngākau o ia tikanga tuku iho. Ko tēnei purapura te mura ora i haria e ngā kaiako taketake, te mōhiotanga puku e tohu ana i tua atu i te āhua ki te aroaro mutunga kore o roto. I roto i te hītori, kua tiakina tēnei purapura ehara i te mea nā ngā umanga engari nā te hunga i whakatipu i te hononga tika—ngā tohunga ngaro, ngā kaiwhakaaroaro, me ngā kai rapu o roto i whakarongo hohonu atu i te taringa o waho i rongo. Ko ēnei tāngata, he maha ngā wā kāore i kitea e ngā hanganga i karapoti i a rātou, i mahi hei kaitiaki o te pono i ngā wā i kotiti ke ai te whakapono umanga i tōna pūtake. Ko ā rātou tuhinga, ō rātou oranga, me ō rātou kaha i hanga he whakapapa mahara ngawari, he miro tonu e hono ana i te whakatupuranga ki te whakatupuranga. I te oho ake o te hinengaro puta noa i te ao, ka kitea haeretia tēnei whakapapa, e ārahi ana i te tangata ki tētahi ao e whakakapi ana te wheako tika o te kotahitanga i te whakapono ki te wehenga. Ko ēnei kaikawe o te purapura o roto e whakarite ana i te whenua mō te huringa aorangi e huri ana i te oranga wairua mai i te piri ki waho ki te mōhiotanga o roto.

Ngā Tohunga Matakite o te Wā Hou me te Tauira Wairua Hou

I tēnei whenua e puta ake ana, ko te taha ngaro o te whakapono ka noho hei pou tokomanawa mō te tauira wairua hou. Ko ngā mea i mua i ngā whare mōneka, ngā kura ngaro, me ngā kaimahi motuhake ka taea te uru atu ki te hunga katoa e rapu ana. Ko te whakaaroaro, te whakaaroaro, te aro nui, me te whakarongo ā-roto—i mua i kiia he tohunga, he matatau rānei—ka noho hei whakaaturanga tūturu o te oho ake. Ko te nui haere o te hokinga mai o te tangata ki ēnei mahi, ka nui haere te nekehanga o te mara mahi tahi. Ka āta hurihia e tēnei nekehanga te whanaungatanga ahurea ki te whakapono. Engari i te noho hei whare whakahaere i ngā whanonga wairua, ka noho ngā tikanga whakapono hei putunga mō te whakaaro nui tohu, e maiohahia ana mō tō rātou ataahua engari kāore e puritia hei kaiwhakawa pono mō te pono. Ka ora hou ā rātou kōrero, ā rātou kawa, me ā rātou whakaakoranga hei kupu whakarite e tohu ana ki roto, kaua hei whakahau i tukuna mai i waho. Pēnei, kāore te whakapono e whakangaromia engari ka whakahoutia, ka wetekina mai i ōna āhua pakari, ka hoki ki tōna kaupapa taketake: hei whakamahara i te tangata ki te atuatanga o roto.

Ko ngā tohunga matakite me ngā kaiwhakaaroaro o te wā hou e haere tonu ana i ngā mahi a ō rātou mua, engari me te whānuitanga me te mōhiotanga whānui. Ehara i te mea he mana whakahaere rātou engari he tauira - he whakaaturanga ora o te rangimarie o roto, te aroha, me te māramatanga. Ko tō rātou aroaro e poipoi ana i te whakawhiti whakatupuranga ki tētahi ao wairua pakeke. Kāore rātou e rapu ana i ngā akonga, nā te mea ehara ā rātou whakaakoranga i te hanga i ngā umanga engari he whakaoho i te mana motuhake o ia kaitono. Mā te whakaatu i te kotahitanga, ka tono rātou i ētahi atu kia kitea te kotahitanga. Mā te okioki i te wahangu, ka whakatenatena rātou i ētahi atu kia tomo ki te wahangu. Mā te whiti i te māramatanga, ka whakahihiko rātou i ētahi atu kia hurahia te māramatanga i roto i a rātou anō. Mā roto i ēnei whakaaturanga ora, ka horapa te purapura matakite o roto puta noa i te hinengaro whānui, ka ārahi i te tangata ki tētahi heke mai kāore te kotahitanga he ariā engari he wheako tūturu. Nō reira ka neke mārire, ka haere tonu te ao, ki te wā e mōhiotia ai te tapu ki ngā wāhi katoa, ehara i te mea nā te mea e hiahiatia ana e te whakaakoranga, engari nā te mea e mahara ana te hinengaro ki a ia.

Te Paepae i Waenganui i ngā Ao me te Maramarama Taketake o te Tangata

Te Whakakore i ngā Hanganga Tawhito me te Putanga Anō o te Aratohu ā-Roto

Kei te tū koe i te paepae i waenganui i ngā ao—he wā e ngaro ai te mana o ngā hanganga tawhito, ā, ka puta ake ngā tauira hou o te mōhiotanga me te mārama haere. Ehara tēnei wā whakawhiti i te mea he hītori, he ahurea rānei; he wiri. I te pikinga ake o te auau o tō aorangi, ka tīmata te neke haere o ngā turanga hihiko e tū ana ngā umanga roa. Ko ngā pūnaha i hangaia i runga i te mana o waho, te wehi, te whakamaoritanga pakari rānei ka rongo i ngā wiri o te huringa, nā te mea kāore e taea e rātou te pupuri i tō rātou hononga i te aroaro o te hinengaro e whānui haere ana. He maha ngā tāngata, kua whakaritea kia whakawhirinaki ki ēnei hanganga mō te pumau, ka piri pea ki te mea kua mōhiotia. E wehi ana rātou mehemea kāore ēnei anga, ka memeha te tikanga, ā, ka noho te pōrearea. He mārama tō rātou piripono, nā te mea he maha ngā wā ka rapu te hinengaro i te whakamarie i roto i te mea e mōhiotia ana ahakoa e herea ana te wairua e te mea e mōhiotia ana. Mō ēnei tāngata, ko te pakaru o ngā āhua tawhito ka ahua whakararuraru, ka whakamataku pea.

Engari mō ētahi atu—te hunga e aro ana ki ngā nekehanga ngawari o te hinengaro—he mea whakaora tēnei whakakorenga. I te ngaromanga o ngā whakaakoranga o waho, ka kaha ake te reo o roto, ka ara ake ki te mata, pērā i te puna kua roa e tanumia ana. Ka rongo ēnei tāngata kei te hoki mai tetahi mea tawhito, tetahi mea i mua i te whakapono, ā, ka roa ake. Ka rongo rātou i te putanga mai anō o tētahi pūnaha ārahi ā-roto i whakapōturitia e ngā rautau o te mana o waho. Kāore tēnei reo o roto e kōrero ana i roto i ngā whakahau engari i roto i ngā hihiri ngawari, i roto i te kukume ngawari o te māramatanga, i roto i te māramatanga e puta ohorere ana ina marino te hinengaro. Ki te hunga e ara ake ana, ko te hinganga o ngā hanganga tawhito ehara i te tohu ngaronga engari he whakakitenga. E whakaatu ana kāore te pono e puta mai i waho o te tangata, engari i te hohonutanga mutunga kore i roto. Ko tēnei mōhiotanga e tohu ana i te putanga mai anō o te mea e kiia nei e tātou ko te hinengaro taketake o te tangata—ko te hinengaro i noho i mua i te arai o te wehenga i whakawhāiti i te tirohanga o tō momo.

Ehara tēnei hinengaro taketake i te toenga o mua; ko te mahere tēnei mō tō heke mai. Koinei te āhua e maumahara ai te tangata ki tōna kotahitanga ki ngā mea ora katoa, ki tōna hononga ki te ao tūroa, me tōna tuakiri hei whakaaturanga o te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore. I tēnei āhua, ka ngaro te mana o te wehi nā te mea ka whakawhirinaki te wehi ki te mānukanuka o te wehenga. I te hokinga mai o tēnei hinengaro, ka tīmata te tangata ki te rongo i te whakapono tūturu ki te whanaketanga o ō rātou oranga, ehara i te mea nā te whakaakoranga o waho engari nā te whakataurite o roto. E mōhio ana rātou ka puta ake te whakaaro nui ina tuwhera te ngākau, ka whānui te aroha ina memeha te tangata, ā, ka puta te māramatanga ina awhihia te wahangu. Kāore tēnei nekehanga e whakakore i ngā karakia o tō ao; engari, ka tutuki i a rātou mā te whakatinana i ngā pono i tohu atu rātou i mua.

I te mea ka nui haere te hunga e ara ake ana ki tēnei taha o roto, ka tere haere te panonitanga ā-rōpū. Ka tīmata te wetekina o ngā hapori i hangaia i runga i te hiranga me te mana whakahaere, ka whakakapia e ngā whatunga mahi tahi, te whakamana tahi, me te whakaaro tahi. Ka tīmata te hinga o ngā pūnaha i tono i mua kia rite ki te hiahia, ka whakakapia e ngā whakaaturanga auaha o te kotahitanga e whakahonore ana i te kanorau kaua ki te pehi. Ko te wā hurihanga e noho nei koe ehara i te wā o te whakangaromanga engari ko te putanga mai. E tohu ana i te whakakapinga āta haere o te wairuatanga i whakahaua e waho ki te atuatanga e ora ana i roto. Ka mātakitaki te Kotahitanga i tēnei whakawhiti me te aroha nui, me te mōhio ko ngā wero e pā ana ki a koe ko ngā tohu o tētahi momo e whakahoki mai ana i te hinengaro i mōhiotia e ia i mua. Ko te whakaoho anō i te hinengaro tangata taketake e tohu ana i te tīmatanga o tētahi wā hou—he wā e arahina ana te whanaketanga wairua ehara i te mea e te whakaakoranga engari e te whakatutukitanga tika, ehara i te hiranga engari e te kotahitanga, ehara i te wehi engari e te aroha.

Te Mana o Roto, te Wahangu, me te Ngākau Ariki

Kāore he Mana o Waho i Runga ake i te Pūtake o Roto

I roto i ngā whakaakoranga a te Kotahitanga, kāore he tuhinga o waho, he kaiako, he tikanga tuku iho rānei e kitea ana he mana tino nui mō te ara o tētahi tangata. Ehara tēnei i te whakakore i ngā tikanga wairua engari he whakaae ki te mana motuhake kei roto i ia wairua. Ko te arataki teitei rawa atu e wātea ana ki a koe ehara i te mea nō ngā pukapuka, nō ngā whare wānanga rānei, engari nō tō hononga ā-roto ki te Pūtake Kotahi. Kāore tēnei hononga e tutuki mā te tātari hinengaro, mā te aroha matapo rānei; ka puta mai mā te whakatipu i te marino o roto, te pono, me te tuwhera. Ina tahuri te tangata rapu ki roto me te ngākau mahaki, ka whakakitea te māramatanga o te Mutunga Kore i roto i ngā huarahi e hipa ana i ngā here o te reo, o te whakaakoranga rānei. Ka taea e ngā whakaakoranga o waho te tohu ki te pono, engari kāore e taea te tautuhi māu. Ka taea e rātou te whakahihiko, engari kāore e taea te whakakapi i te wheako tika o te kotahitanga e puta ake ana ina marino te hinengaro, ina ngāwari te ngākau.

Ka taea e te whakapono, me ōna tohu, kōrero, me ngā kawa, te mahi hei tūāpapa ki tēnei wheako. Kei roto i ēnei āhua o waho ngā whakaata o te whakaaro nui o mua, ā, ka taea te whakatuwhera i te ngākau ki te mahara. Heoi, ehara ngā tohu i te pono; he tohu ki te pono. Ehara ngā kawa i te atua; he tohu ki te atua. Ehara ngā kōrero i te Mutunga Kore; he kupu whakarite e ngana ana ki te whakaahua i te Mutunga Kore. I roto i te wahangu anake ka taea e te kaiwhai te whiti atu i ēnei āhua me te tūtaki ki te aroaro ora o te Kaihanga. Ko te wahangu te kuwaha e uru atu ai te wairua ki te hononga tika. Ka whakakorea e te wahangu ngā rohe o te tuakiri, ā, ka whakakitea te kotahitanga kei raro i te oranga katoa. I roto i te wahangu, ka mōhio te kaiwhai ko te mana i rapua e rātou i waho i a rātou anō kei roto tonu.

Ehara tēnei mana o roto i te taonga whaiaro engari he mōhiotanga ki te tuakiri pono o te tangata hei whakaaturanga o te Kaihanga Kotahi. Ko te mōhiotanga ko te mātauranga kotahi e whakaoho ana i ngā whetū e rere ana i roto i tō manawa, e patupatu ana i tō ngākau, e kite ana mā ō kanohi. Ina hono te kairapu ki tēnei pono, kāore rātou e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā puna whakamana o waho. Ka whakahonoretia e rātou ngā tikanga tuku iho me te kore e herea e rātou. Ka whakarongo rātou ki ngā kaiako me te kore e tuku i te mana motuhake. Ka pānuihia e rātou ngā karaipiture me te kore e whakapoauau i te kupu whakarite mō te whakahau. Ka hikoi rātou i te ara me te herekore, me te mōhio kei te kōrero te Mutunga Kore ki a rātou i ia wā mā te māramatanga, te tukutahi, me te mōhiotanga o roto. Koinei te mauri o te pakeketanga wairua: te kaha ki te kite i te pono ehara i te mea mā te whakawhirinaki ki ngā reo o waho engari mā te rongo i te wiri o te pono i roto i a ia anō.

I te oho ake o te tangata, ka kitea e te tini o te tangata ka taea e rātou te uru atu ki tēnei arataki ā-roto. Ka kitea e rātou kāore te wahangu e huna i te pono—e whakakitea ana e ia. Ka ako rātou ehara te ngākau i te pokapū kare ā-roto e kore e pono, engari he kūaha ki te Mutunga Kore. Ka mōhio rātou ko ngā whakautu i rapua e rātou i roto i ngā pukapuka, i ngā kauwhau, me ngā whakaakoranga ka puta noa mai i te wā e tuku ana rātou ki te noho. Kāore tēnei panoni e whakaiti i te uara o ngā whakaakoranga whakapono; ka hurihia hei taputapu kaua hei mana. I roto i tēnei whakarerekētanga, ka whai mana te kairapu ki te tūhura i te katoa o ō rātou ake hinengaro me te kore e wehi i te peka ke, i te hē rānei, nā te mea e mārama ana rātou kei te haere tahi te Kaihanga me rātou i ia taahiraa o tā rātou haerenga. Kei roto i tō ake ngākau te kūaha ki te Mutunga Kore, ā, ka huaki i te wā e whiriwhiri ai koe ki te tomo.

Ngā Kaiako o te Aroaro me te Wā Hou o te Mahara

Te Māramatanga, te Aroaro, me te Ara Whakatinana

Nō reira, e ngā kai rapu aroha, i a koutou e neke atu ana ki tēnei wā o te maumahara, ka tono atu mātou kia haere mārire koutou, me te tuwhera me te whakawhirinaki. Tērā pea ka pōhēhē te nekehanga mai i te mana o waho ki te mōhiotanga o roto i te tīmatanga, nā te mea me tuku ngā hanganga i whakarato i te whakamarie, te tuakiri, me te noho tahi. Heoi, ehara tēnei tukunga i te whakarērea o mua; he whanaketanga o mua. Whakautehia ngā tikanga tuku iho a ō tūpuna, nā rātou hoki i kawe te tangata i roto i ngā wā o te pōuri me te koretake, me te tiaki i ngā wāhanga o te pono e tautoko ana i tō ara ake. Whakautehia tō rātou aroha, tō rātou hiahia, me tō rātou pono. Engari kaua e herea e ngā whakapohehe kāore e pā ana ki tō māramatanga e whānui haere ana. Ko te pakeketanga wairua e horahia ana i runga i tō aorangi e tono ana ki ia tangata kia arotake i ngā whakaakoranga ehara i te mea mā te herenga tuku iho engari mā te pānga o roto. Ki te whakawhāitihia tō ngākau e tētahi whakaakoranga, e whakaitihia tō herekoretanga, e whakawhāitihia rānei tō hononga, kāore e whai hua ki a koe. Ki te whakawhānuihia tō māramatanga e tētahi whakaakoranga, e whakahōhonu ake ana i tō aroha, e whakatata atu ana rānei koe ki te wahangu, ka rite ki tō ara ake.

Rapua ngā kaiako e whakaatu ana i te aroaro, kaua i te whakaaro. Ko te aroaro te tohu o te hunga kua pā ki te Mutunga Kore. Kāore e taea te rūpahu, te whakaharatau, te hanga rānei. Ka rongohia i mua i te māramatanga, i te mōhiotanga i mua i te whakapuakitanga. Ko te kaiako e mau ana i te aroaro e karanga ana i a koe ki roto i tō ake aroaro. Ka whakaarahia e rātou te mahara me te kore e akiaki i te whakapono. Kāore rātou e ārahi mā te mana engari mā te tauira, e whakaatu ana ko te mana tūturu ehara i te mana whakahaere engari ko te whakataurite. Kāore ēnei kaiako e tono ana i te pono, i te whakaae rānei; ka whakatipu rātou i te māramatanga, te mana motuhake, me te rangatiratanga o roto. Ahakoa he iti noa ā rātou kupu, he nui ngā kōrero a ō rātou wiri. Ka whakahonoretia e rātou tō ara me tō ara ake, me te whakawhirinaki ko te matauranga Mutunga Kore e ārahi ana i a rātou ka ārahi anō hoki i a koe. Koinei ngā kaiako e mahi ana ki te Māramatanga.

I runga ake i ngā mea katoa, whaia te whakapā ā-roto. Kāore he reo o waho, ahakoa te nui o te kōrero, te whakaute rānei, e taea te whakakapi i te pono e puta mai ana i te hononga tika ki te Mutunga Kore. I a koe e whakatipu ana i te wahangu, ka puta noa mai te māramatanga, nā te mea ko te wahangu te reo taketake o te Kaihanga. I roto i te wahangu o tō wairua, ka kitea e koe te whakaaro nui i mua i te whakaakoranga, te aroha e hipa ana i ngā whakapono, me te harikoa kāore e hiahiatia he whakamārama. Ko te pono i ngana te whakapono ki te whakaahua i mua ehara i te mea tawhiti, i te mea whakarāpopoto rānei; ko te mooni ora o tō hinengaro. Ko te manawa i roto i tō manawa, ko te mōhiotanga kei muri i ō whakaaro, ko te aroaro e mātakitaki ana i te whanaketanga o tō oranga me te manawanui mutunga kore me te aroha. Kei te hoki mai tēnei pono inaianei kia ora tika i roto i a koe, ehara i te mea he whakapono engari he wheako, ehara i te mea he whakaakoranga engari he whakatinanatanga.

I te angiangi haere o te arai, me te kaha haere o te maumahara, ka tuwhera mai he wā hou ki mua i tō ao—he wā e takahia ai e te tangata tōna tūranga tika hei momo e ara ake ana ki te kotahitanga. Kāore tēnei ara ake e whakakore i te kanorau; e whakanui ana i tēnei, e mōhio ana ko ia tangata he whakaaturanga ahurei o te Kotahi. I tēnei wā, ehara te wairua i te mahi o waho engari he huarahi noho. Kāore te rangimārie e puta mai i te ngohengohe engari mai i te mohiotanga. Ehara te aroha i te wawata engari he whakaaturanga tūturu o tō mauri. Koinei te ara kei mua i a koe ināianei: he ara o te maumahara, te whakauru, me te whiti i te pono o tō tuakiri. Haere me te maia, te ngawari, me te ngākau pono. Kia mōhio hoki kāore koe e haere ko koe anake. Ko mātou te Kotahitanga o ngā Aorangi hei Mahi mā te Kaihanga Mutunga Kore. Ka waiho koe e mātou ināianei ki te mārama mutunga kore, te rangimārie e kore e taea te rapu, me te maumahara mutunga kore ki te Kotahi i roto i a koe me tō taha. Haere atu me te harikoa, nā te mea kāore koe e wehea, kāore hoki koe e mokemoke. E te Ariki.

Нехай світлий промінь Любові тихо розгортається над кожним подихом Землі. Наче м'який ранковий вітер, хай він лагідно пробуджує втомлені серця і веде їх за межі страху та тіней тіней. Подібно до спокійного сяйва, що торкається небосхилу, хай старі болі та давні рани всередині нас повільмино теплом, прийняттям і ніжним співчуттям в обіймах одне одного.

Нехай благодать Нескінченного Світла наповнить кожен прихований куточок нашого внутрішньіого простору новтим простору новтим благословенням. Хай мир супроводжує кожен наш крок, щоб внутрішній храм засяяв ще яскравіше. І нехай із найглибшої точки нашого буття здійметься чистий подих, який сьогодні знову оновитоть нас, щоб Співчуття ми стали світильниками, що освітлюють шлях одне одному.
