THE ALPHA FREQUENCY #709 - CHOOSING RADICAL LOVE: IHU’S BLUEPRINT FOR A THRIVING COMMUNITY
The Frequency of Connection
In our journey through the "Woven Universe," we often talk about the laws of physics and the wisdom of our ancestors. But at the very heart of this weave is a frequency that powers everything: Radical Love. Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) didn't just come to give us a set of religious rules; He came to show us how to live in a way that keeps our life force, or Mauri, strong and flowing. When we choose love and mercy, we are aligning ourselves with the original design of the Creator.
The Heart and our Resources
Ihu taught us that how we handle our resources is a check-up for our spiritual health. He showed us that money and possessions are tools that show where our heart truly lives. When we use what we have to build others up, we move away from a "Leaky Bucket" life and toward a state of abundance.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible reminds us of this practical truth:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21, Ethiopian Bible English Version)
Original Source (Ge'ez): በኃቤሃ ውእቱ መዝገብከ በኃቤሃ ይሄሉ ልብከ።
Te Reo Māori: Ko te wahi hoki i to koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
The Greatest Law of the House
When Ihu was asked to sum up the most important way to live, He pointed to two simple connections that hold the entire world together. He showed us that loving the Source and loving our neighbour are the same thing.
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart... And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39, Ethiopian Bible English Version)
Original Source (Ge'ez): አፍቅር ለእግዚአብሔር አምላክከ በኵሉ ልብከ... ወባልእንከኒ ከመ ነፍስከ።
Te Reo Māori: Kia aroha koe ki te Ariki ki tou Atua i tou ngakau katoa... Kia aroha hoki koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
Building Bridges of Manaakitanga
In Taitokerau, we know the power of Manaakitanga (elevating the mana of others). Ihu taught that when we welcome the stranger or the newcomer, we are actually welcoming Him. By opening our hearts, we turn "potential" into a reality where everyone belongs.
This radical love has no exclusions. It reaches out to everyone in our community:
The Rainbow Community: We choose love and mercy over judgment, knowing that a judgmental eye only creates darkness.
Rough Sleepers and the Marginalised: Ihu identifies closely with those on the edges of society, calling us to show deep mercy.
People of All Faiths: In the "Woven Universe," we are a single family entangled in the same life force.
Our Common Goal: Protecting the Future
Ihu came to unite all of God's diverse children through the power of love. This is especially important for our rangatahi (youth). When we show kindness to everyone, including those who see the world differently, we provide our children with a safe environment (Mauri Ora) where they can grow into leaders. Choosing radical love is the key to plugging the leaks in our spirit and building a future where every person in our community is valued.
