THE ALPHA FREQUENCY #713: UNDERSTANDING OUTER DARKNESS & THE SPIRITUAL WASTELAND
The Words for the Waste
Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at a topic that is often used to scare people, but when we look at the original words Yeshua used, we see a very different picture. He wasn't talking about a basement of fire under the earth, He was talking about the danger of spiritual waste and losing our purpose.
To understand this teaching, we have to look at the physical places Yeshua was pointing to and how they translate into English and Te Reo Māori:
Gehenna (Greek / Aramaic: Ge-Hinnām): In English, this is often translated as Hell. In Te Reo Māori, it is often called Kehena, but a better descriptive term is Te Wāhi Whakangaro, which means the place of destruction or waste. It was a real physical valley outside Jerusalem where trash was burned.
Outer Darkness (Greek: Skotos to exōteron): In Te Reo Māori, we can call this Pōuri Kerekere, or the intense darkness. It describes being excluded from the light and joy of the community feast.
The Spiritual Rubbish Dump
Yeshua used the physical valley of Gehenna as a metaphor for spiritual waste or final destruction. He warned that we should be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in this place of waste (Matthew 10:28). In our research, we see this as the ultimate state of entropy. If the Kingdom is a household where everything has value, Gehenna is the spiritual rubbish dump where things that have lost their life force go.
Wasted Potential
The warning about "Hell" is really a warning about losing our Mauri Ora. Just as trash was burned in the valley to keep the city clean, Yeshua used this image to show what happens when a person’s life becomes "waste" because they refuse to follow the truth. This isn't about a God who wants to hurt people, it is about the natural result of moving away from the source of life.
The Outer Darkness
Yeshua also spoke about people being thrown into the Outer Darkness. He compared the Kingdom to a big wedding feast full of light and music. Being in the darkness simply means being left outside in the cold because you weren't ready or didn't want to join in. It is a state of separation from the Alpha Frequency of joy and community.
Choosing the Signal
As we approach the Snap, the moment when spiritual truth fully breaks into our physical reality, we have a choice. We can store up goodness and life in our hearts, or we can let our lives become filled with the confusion and negativity that leads to waste. Those who live by the truth stay in the light, while those who cling to destructive ways find themselves in the place of "Outer Darkness".
Practical Daily Steps
Audit Your Waste: Ask yourself if your current habits are building something of value or if they are just creating "spiritual rubbish" like gossip, worry, or anger.
Value Your Soul: Remember that your life force is precious. Don't let it be "wasted" on things that don't bring life to your whānau.
Stay in the Feast: Make an intentional choice to stay tuned to the light and joy of Yeshua’s teachings so you never find yourself in the "cold" of separation.
