THE ALPHA FREQUENCY #707 - BY THEIR FRUIT: THE ULTIMATE TEST
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.
