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.
