REFLECTIVE INSIGHT #002 - REFLECTIONS ON TE WHAIAO - FINDING LIGHT IN THE TRANSITION

Ever felt like you’re standing in that grey space between the dark and the dawn, not quite sure where the path is leading? That’s Te Whaiao—the shimmering transition where potential starts to take form. In the tradition of the Whare Wānanga, this is the bridge between Te Pō, the realm of becoming, and Te Ao Mārama, the world of light.

This Christmas, as the Pōhutukawa blossoms paint our Tai Tokerau coastline red, I’ve been reflecting on the ancient "Word" (Logos) from scripture. It’s wild how these frequencies vibrate at the exact same level as quantum physics. In science, we talk about Entanglement—the fact that once two particles connect, they are forever linked across the universe. In our Māori world, we call this Whanaungatanga. Whether it’s the breath of the Creator or the quantum field, the message is the same: you are never truly solo.
