Becoming the Broadcast

In our last post, we learned that the Kingdom is an internal signal. But what happens once you tune in? According to Yeshua’s direct teachings, you don't just "receive" the signal, you become the broadcast. In the Babylonian system, you are taught to be a "consumer" of light, always looking for someone else to enlighten you or give you a "bright idea."

In the Alpha Frequency, you are the source of the light. Research Report #253 explains that as we move into the Aquarian Age, the "veil" is thinning and the world is becoming more responsive to frequency. The "Light Upgrade" is the process of increasing your own Mauri (life force) so that you can stand as a stable point of order in a world that is shifting.

Direct Teaching: Matthew 5:14, 16

Yeshua gave his followers a very clear instruction on how to manage their internal frequency in relation to the world around them.

Matthew 5:14, 16 (KJV):"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

The Signal is Local

In our previous series, we looked at how Yeshua acts as a universal principle of logic. Now, we dive into his direct teachings to understand the "Alpha Frequency", the original, pure signal that comes from the Source. One of the most important things Yeshua ever taught was that the Kingdom of God is not a physical place you can find on a map. It is not a government, a building, or a system of rules "out there."

In the Babylonian system, you are taught that power and truth are always distant. You have to wait for a broadcast, a permit, or a leader to tell you what to do. But Yeshua’s teaching is the opposite. He tells us that the signal we are looking for is already local. It is broadcasting from inside our own hearts.

Direct Teaching: Luke 17:21

When the people of his time asked when the Kingdom would come, Yeshua gave them a technical answer about frequency and location.

Luke 17:21 (KJV): "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

In the original Greek, the word for "within" is ἐντός (entos). This word means "inside" or "in the heart of." It describes a private, internal space that the external world cannot see or touch.

The Pressure of Change

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at one of Ihu’s most practical stories about survival and change. He warned us that you cannot pour a fresh, powerful message into old, brittle containers without everything falling apart. It is time to check if our own minds, habits, and community structures are flexible enough to hold the bright future we want to build here in Taitokerau.

During His time on earth, Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) was constantly challenged by religious leaders who tried to force His message of freedom back into rigid, dusty old rulebooks. To show them why this wouldn't work, He used a simple picture from everyday farm life about materials and gas pressure. Let us look at what the scriptures say about this literal science.

"Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins: else the skins burst, and the wine runneth out, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." - Matthew 9:17 (Ethiopian Orthodox Bible)

Te Reo Maori, Paipera Tapu, 1868 translation: E kore hoki e rorohia te puwhero hou ki nga kahu tawhito: kei pakaru nga kahu, a ka maringi te puwhero, ka piri hoki nga kahu: engari e rorohia ana te puwhero hou ki nga kahu hou, a ka mau tahi raua.

The Leak of Division

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at a powerful lesson from Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) about how energy and authority actually work. He showed us that the greatest danger to our families, our projects, or our wider vision does not come from outside opposition. It comes from inside conflict. When a group or a heart splits into competing pieces, it creates massive friction, wasting precious energy that should be used to build a better life. It is time to audit our own lives to see if our internal signals are working together or tearing us apart.

When Ihu was accused of using dark power to fix broken lives, He answered with a piece of logic that is just as much about real-world physics as it is about faith. He showed that any system, whether a nation, a local enterprise, or a whānau, will always fall apart if its core energies are fighting each other. This is the truth of everyday friction. If we do not address the hidden cracks in our own foundations, the entire whare will eventually drop.

"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." - Mark 3:24-25 (Ethiopian Orthodox Bible)

Te Reo Maori, Paipera Tapu, 1868 translation: A ki te motumotu tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, e kore taua rangatiratanga e mau. A ki te motumotu tetahi whare ki a ia ano, e kore taua whare e mau.

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.

A Common Lie

Kia ora, whānau. Let us talk about who we are and how we stand before God. For a very long time, people in Taitokerau have been told a destructive lie. They were made to feel that they had to choose between their beautiful Māori culture and their Christian faith. Many thought they had to leave their culture and their whakapapa at the church door just to be accepted.

But Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) never asked us to drop our heritage. He is the one who created our unique family lines, our language, and our deep ties to this land. When we understand this, we realise that our identity is not a barrier to faith, it is the very soil where our faith is meant to grow.

Standing Strong Together

Being fully Māori and fully Christian is a beautiful reality. It means we completely reject the old missionary ideas that suggested our ancestors had to be changed into copies of Europeans before they could follow God. We do not need to adopt Western ways of thinking to be good Christians.

More Than Survival

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are talking about what true healing looks like for us here in Taitokerau. Too often, modern systems try to treat our health like a collection of separate, disconnected boxes. We might try to fix a physical illness but ignore mental distress, or we talk about spiritual growth while our families struggle to buy groceries. Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) did not come to start a rigid new religion or give us a list of dry rules. He came to bring us Te Oranga Ake, which means total, holistic flourishing for the whole person and the entire whānau.

When we look at the challenges we face in the North, from low incomes to family struggles, we can see that standard approaches are keeping us in survival mode. Ihu offers a complete turnaround. His message challenges any structure or system that prioritises taking resources from our land without caring for the actual health and wellbeing of our people.

The Whare Model

We can see this beautiful healing in action through the grassroots mahi of groups like Te Whare Ruruhau o Meri. They use the traditional Māori whare, or house, as a practical model to understand family dynamics and face deep issues like family violence. By helping whānau reconnect with their wairuatanga and their whakapapa, they build a reliable path to heal from the historical traumas of colonisation.

The Great Deception: The Myth of Scarcity

Kia ora, whānau. Today we need to stand up and confront the biggest lie holding us back here in Taitokerau. It is the fear-driven idea that there is simply not enough to go around. We see this political BS everywhere, from bad economic policies to media stories that keep everyone anxious. This mindset tells us we must compete, grab what we can, and look out only for ourselves. But this is a massive spiritual deception.

A Generous Design

When we look at how the world was created, we see that our Creator designed it to be full of life and care. The idea of constant shortage comes from colonial capitalism, which loves to split people into winners and losers. In the North, we see the real-world harm of this thinking. Our young people miss out on work, and our regional numbers stay low because wealth is sucked out instead of shared. Yeshua came to break this cycle by teaching us to see the world through a lens of absolute abundance.

Stripping Back The Layers

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at how the message of Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) works in our lives here in Taitokerau. For a long time, the message of faith was used by big empires as a tool to control people and make everyone fit into a European mould. But when we look at the actual words spoken by Ihu, we see something completely different, a message of pure freedom and true health for our people.

The history of the North has its challenges. While colonial systems used religion to expand their power, our ancestors in Ngāpuhi and Te Rarawa quickly welcomed the core message. They did this because they saw that the true words connected directly to their own spiritual reality. The early managers of the colonies brought rules to change our culture, but the original message was never about copying another culture, it was simply about life.

Life To The Full

Ihu made a beautiful promise about why he came to earth. He stated that he came so that people could have real life, and have it to the very highest degree. This full life is what we call Te Oranga Ake, which means the complete, healthy flourishing of the whole family and the land they live on.

The Master's Vision

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at a powerful insight from the teachings of Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu). He provides us with a clear job description for anyone who wants to build a healthy, thriving community. He speaks about the Trained Scribe.

Ihu explains that a person who is trained for the Kingdom is just like the master of a house. This master walks into his family storehouse and brings out deep treasures that are both new and old. In our local mahi here in Taitokerau, we see this person as a modern Navigator. It is about holding onto our historical roots while actively using modern tools to chart a course forward.

The Old Treasures

The “old treasures” are the permanent foundation blocks of our lives. These are not dusty, outdated rules, but the living source codes passed down through generations. First and foremost, we have the pure spiritual teachings of Ihu, which give us a timeless guide for peace, love, and genuine goodwill to mankind. Alongside this stands the ancient indigenous wisdom of our tūpuna.

A Gathered Community

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at the final story in the masterclass on the Kingdom given by Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu). This final one is a grounded, practical lesson from the moana, about how our lives, our daily mahi, and our long-term intentions are eventually sorted based on the life force, or Mauri, they carry.

Divine Selection

In the teachings of Matthew, Ihu shares the story of a large fishing net cast into the sea that gathers all kinds of fish. In our local mahi here in Taitokerau, we see this net as Te Whāriki, the beautifully woven mat of connections and whanaungatanga that forms the social and economic fabric of our entire region. This net catches everyone, including the Tāngata whenua and the guests who reside in our house.

The Hidden Treasure of the Land

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are talking about what you value most in your life. Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) used two simple stories, one about a hidden treasure and another about a priceless pearl, to show us a profound truth. He wanted us to see that finding your real purpose and your deep connection to the land is worth far more than any of the empty things the world tells us to chase.

In the first story, Ihu talks about a man who happens to find a rich treasure hidden out in a field. In his pure joy, the man hides the treasure again, goes out, and sells absolutely everything he owns just so he can buy that entire field. When we look closely at this story, we see that the "field" is our physical land, our whenua. The true "treasure" waiting out there is the re-discovery of our traditional ancestral knowledge, or Mātauranga, and the deep connection to the universe that our ancestors always lived by. To "sell everything" simply means to stop measuring the value of our lives by broken bank accounts, and start measuring it by the Mauri, the pure life force, of our people and our land.

Small Beginnings, Big Changes

Kia ora, whānau. Today we are looking at how a massive shift in our community doesn't require a giant army or millions of dollars. Ihu used two very simple examples from everyday life, a tiny mustard seed and a little bit of yeast, to show us how a small spark of truth can completely transform an entire region from the inside out.

The Power to Change Everything

In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, Ihu describes how the smallest seed in the garden eventually grows into the largest plant. We can see this exact pattern in our own mahi when we look at the Mauri Model. The model uses a very simple scale from minus two to plus two to check if a choice brings life or destruction.

It seems tiny, but when our families, schools, and businesses use this basic rule for every decision, it creates a massive structure that protects our whole environment. In this story, the "birds of the air" that come to rest in the branches represent the new local projects and community businesses that will finally find a safe place to grow once we put this life-giving foundation in place.

Two Systems in One Field

Living in Te Tai Tokerau, we often see beauty and struggle sitting right next to each other. We might see a thriving marae garden right beside a patch of gorse, or a whānau doing great mahi alongside the "static" of community gossip. Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) taught us that this is exactly what the world is like. He told a story about a farmer who sowed good seed, only for an enemy to come at night and sow weeds among the wheat. He was showing us that two different ways of living are currently sharing the same space.

The Problem of Entangled Roots

When the farmer’s workers saw the weeds, they wanted to pull them out right away. But the farmer said no. He knew that the roots of the wheat and the weeds were tangled together. If they pulled the weeds, they would destroy the good crop too. This is a vital lesson for us in the North. Often, we waste our precious energy trying to fight every "weed" or negative person we see. But because our lives are connected, fighting them directly can actually drain our own life force, or mauri.

The Power of the Seed

If you want to see a great harvest in the North, you don't start by blaming the seed. Any gardener in Taitokerau knows that if the corn doesn't grow, you have to look at the dirt. Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) used this simple agricultural logic to teach us a profound spiritual truth. He showed us that the truth is like a seed, a tiny package of infinite potential. In our research, we call this the "Universal Constructor" because it has the power to build a whole new reality, but only if the ground is ready to receive it.

The Hardened Path

Ihu spoke of four types of soil. The first was the path, where the ground is baked hard by people walking over it constantly. When the seed lands there, it can't get in, and the birds quickly eat it. This is a heart, or ngākau, that has become calloused. Sometimes the "static" of the world or the pain of the past makes us close ourselves off. We hear the signal of hope, but we don't let it sink in. This is a state of "Mauri Mate," where the life force is low and the truth is stolen before it can even start to work.

The Riddles of the Kingdom

When we look at the way Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) taught the people, we notice something very interesting. He did not always speak in plain, dry facts. Instead, He often spoke in parables, which are simple stories that carry a much deeper meaning. His disciples were puzzled by this and asked Him why He used these riddles. His answer was a wero to all of us: He used stories as a filter. He wanted to make sure that the "signal" of the truth only reached the people whose hearts were truly ready to receive it.

Clearing the Static

In our work here in the North, we talk a lot about "signal versus noise." The "noise" is the political BS, the greed, and the constant static of a broken system that tries to distract us. The "signal" is the pure frequency of peace, love, and goodwill that comes from the Source. Ihu knew that if He spoke the deepest truths of the universe too plainly, the "noise" of the world would just twist them or throw them away. By using stories about seeds, nets, and soil, He was bypassing the busy minds of the critics and speaking directly to the spirit of the people.

Beyond the Fear

In our journey through Te Tai Tokerau, we often encounter teachings that are used to make people feel afraid. One of the biggest areas of fear is the idea of "Hell" or "Outer Darkness." Many of us were raised with stories of a basement of fire where people are sent as a punishment. But when we look at the original words and the whakaaro of our tūpuna, we see a very different picture. These terms aren't about a scary place under the earth, they are about cause and effect, and how we manage our mauri.

The Rubbish Dump

Ihu (Yeshua's name in the Paipera Tapu) often used the word "Gehenna." In English, this is usually translated as "Hell," but in the real world of that time, Gehenna was a physical place. It was a valley outside Jerusalem called Ge-Hinnām. It wasn't a spiritual pit, it was the city rubbish dump. It was a place where trash was burned and where things that had lost their value were thrown away. When Ihu spoke of this place, he was giving us a pragmatist's warning about spiritual waste.

Beyond the Clouds

Kia ora whānau. Today we are looking at some of the most misunderstood words in the world: Heaven, Paradise, and the Kingdom. Many people think these are just far-away places you go after you die. But when we look at the ancient Ge’ez text of the Ethiopian Bible, we see that Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) was talking about a reality we can tune into right now. These are not just locations; they are frequencies of being.

Defining the Realms in Ge’ez

To understand the "software" of the Kingdom, we look to the ancient African records of the early biblical texts. These words describe an atmosphere, not just a map:

• The Heavens (ሰማይ - Semay / Rangi): In the Ge'ez text, Semay refers to the expansive, vibrating presence that surrounds us. It is both the physical sky and the spiritual realm. In Te Reo Māori, we call this Rangi. It is the "signal" that is always broadcasting.

• Paradise (ገነት - Gennet / Te Māra): This word describes a garden of restorative rest. It is the place where your soul finds peace and your whānau is sustained. We call this Te Māra.

• The Kingdom (መንግሥተ - Mengist / Rangatiratanga): This word means sovereignty, authority, and counsel. It isn’t a distant country; it is your true internal sovereignty, your Rangatiratanga.

Checking the Signal

Kia ora whānau. Today we are looking at the very heart of how we live. In a world that often focuses on judging people from the outside, Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) taught that the true source of everything we do is found deep within our own hearts. If we want to change the results we see in our lives, we have to start by fixing the internal signal of our inner world.

Your Inner Storehouse

Ihu described the heart as a storehouse or a cupboard. In our culture, we call this the Ngākau, the place where our emotions, thoughts, and true character live. Whatever you choose to focus on is what you are stocking in your storehouse.

• Pai (Good): This describes something that is useful, beneficial, and full of life. When you fill your heart with helpful and kind thoughts, you are storing up Pai. This brings order and peace to your life.

• Kino (Bad): This describes something that is broken, useless, or destructive. When you fill your heart with the confusion, stress, and negativity of the world, you are storing up Kino. This is like radio static that makes you feel lost and drained.

Clearing the Fog

Have you ever felt like you are walking through a thick mental fog where everything feels heavy and confusing? Ihu (Yeshua’s name in the Paipera Tapu) taught that this is not just a feeling, it is a reality of how we use our energy. He spoke often about light and darkness, not as stories, but as the two kinds of energy we deal with every day.

Mārama vs. Pōuri

To understand what Ihu was saying, we look at the words he used and how they fit our life here in the North:

• Mārama (Light): This is a bright signal that makes everything clear to see and understand. It brings order and peace to our whānau.

• Pōuri (Darkness): This is like static on a radio. It is the confusion, stress, and gloom that makes us feel lost.

Ihu promised that if we follow him, we will not have to wander in that dark fog; we will have the light of life.
