THE ALPHA FREQUENCY #725 - STRIPPING THE LAYERS: IDENTIFYING THE DECEPTIONS THAT HINDER HAUORA
Identifying the Distractions
Kia ora, whānau. Today we are wrapping up our series on why the message of Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) matters so deeply right here in Taitokerau. To do that, we need to talk straight about the big distractions that block us from reaching our true potential. Ihu was a master at cutting through the political BS and religious noise of His day. We need to use that same clear signal to strip back the heavy colonial layers that are currently hurting our Hauora, which is our holistic wellbeing.
In the North, our spiritual foundation tells us that recognising deceptions is the first step to finding freedom and fairness. These deceptions have been mixed into our daily lives through generations of colonisation, making things look confusing. Ihu taught us a beautiful truth that cuts right through this static.
The Truth Sets Free
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 (Ethiopian Orthodox Bible)
Ge'ez text: ወታእምሩ ጽድቀ ወጽድቅ ያጋእዘክሙ።
Te Reo Maori, Paipera Tapu, 1868 translation: A ka matau koutou ki te pono, ma te pono hoki koutou ka rangatira ai.
When Ihu spoke these words, He was not talking about a dry checklist of rules. He was talking about a deep, living freedom that restores our mind, body, and spirit altogether. To experience this, we have to call out the specific lies that try to keep us small and dependent on external systems.
