THE ALPHA FREQUENCY #707 - BY THEIR FRUIT: THE ULTIMATE TEST
The Logic of the Garden
Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) gave us a very simple, no-nonsense way to tell if something is actually good for us. He used nature to explain how the world works because you don't need to be an expert to spot a fake. If you plant an apple seed, you don't get weeds. If a project or a person claims to be "good" but only produces stress, debt, and fighting, then something is wrong at the root.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible records this teaching clearly:
"By their fruits you shall know them." (Matthew 7:16, Ethiopian Bible English Version)
Original Source (Ge'ez): እምፍሬሆሙ ተአምርዎሙ።
Te Reo Māori: Ma o ratou hua ka mohio koutou ki a ratou.
The Life Audit
I believe we should use this teaching as a practical tool to check the results of everything around us. We can use a simple scale to see if something adds to our life or takes away from it. This is a much better way of looking at things than the complicated "maths" the system uses.
Draining (-2): The results are bad. It hurts the environment, causes stress for families, and drains our energy.
Life-Giving (+2): The results are good. It helps the land, strengthens our culture, and keeps our resources right here at home.
Spotting the Hype
The old system is great at using fancy words to hide bad results. People use big terms like "economic growth," but if you look at the results in the North, our talent is still leaving and our people are still struggling just to get by. I believe that is "bad fruit," no matter how good the sales pitch sounds.
You are the Judge
We have the power to decide what kind of reality we want to build. If we keep accepting "bad fruit" as just the way it is, nothing changes. When we start checking the results, we demand a higher standard. We stop just taking what we are given and start only supporting what brings real life.
The Truth is Coming Out
As the world changes, the real results of people’s actions will become even more obvious. Those who are doing well will be the ones whose lives are already producing good results. They aren't distracted by drama because they are busy looking after what they’ve been given with honesty.
The Challenge
Pick one thing in your life today, a project at work, a habit, or even a relationship. Do a quick check: does it bring life (+2) or does it drain you (-2)? Don’t listen to the words, just look at the results. If the results are bad, it’s time to start planting something that actually brings life.
