IO'S CREATION #808 - MANY VOICES, ONE TRUTH: THE GLOBAL TOHUNGA
The Global Compass
Kia ora. In the search for truth, it is found that the knowledge of the Creator is not a secret held by only one group of people. Just as the stars are used to navigate the great ocean, different leaders throughout history have acted as "Global Tohunga" (spiritual experts). They have provided a compass for millions of people to find their way back to the same Source, Io-Matua Kore.
One Source, Many Streams
When looking at different systems of belief, a pattern emerges. Where these different paths agree, the "Source Code" of reality is found. Research shows that the original teaching of a single, supreme Being was common to tribes all across the earth. For example, the prophet Mohammed emphasised the absolute oneness of God. This matches the Ngāpuhi understanding of Io-tahi (Io the One). This teaching was designed to help people maintain the mauri (life force) of their societies through discipline and prayer.
The Unity of the Woven Universe
Other voices, like Baháʼu'lláh, took this a step further by teaching that all of humanity is actually one single family. This is a description of what is called the "Woven Universe." It is the understanding that we are all spiritually and physically connected. What happens to one person eventually affects everyone else. This isn't just a nice idea; it is a law of how the world is put together.
The Unifying Signal
Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) spoke of this same unity. He described a day when all people would hear his voice and become "one flock" under "one shepherd." The mission of Ihu is the highest signal of this global gathering. He did not come to create more divisions, but to weave the "scattered children of God" back into a single, thriving whānau.
Direct Teaching of Ihu (John 17:21)
"...that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us..." (Ethiopian Bible English Version)
Original Source (Ge'ez): ከመ ኵሎሙ አሐዱ ይኩኑ፤ በከመ አንተ አቡየ ብየ ወአነኒ ብከ፤ ከመ እሙንቱሂ በአሐዱ ይኩኑ ብነ።
Te Reo Māori: Kia kotahi katoa ai ratou; me koe hoki, e Pa, i roto i ahau, me ahau hoki i roto i a koe, kia kotahi ai hoki ratou i roto i a taua.
A Shared Responsibility
When these global voices are heard together, it becomes clear that humanity has a shared responsibility. The "Babylonian" system tries to keep people separated and fighting over their own "patch." But the global signal is calling for a different way. It is a call to manage the life force of the whole planet by recognising our connection to one another and to the Source.
Strengthening the Signal in the North
I believe that by learning from these high-fidelity voices, we become better at caring for our own land here in Taitokerau. When the oneness of God and the unity of humanity are understood, the way we treat our neighbours and our environment changes. We move from a state of disorder toward a state of Mauri Ora. The truth is universal, and it is calling everyone back to the House of the Creator.
