THE WOVEN UNIVERSE #908 - DATA LAYERS OF THE HEAVENS: THE THREE BASKETS OF KNOWLEDGE

The Archive of the Heavens

In the traditional learning of the North, Rev. Māori Marsden was taught that wisdom isn't something we just make up as we go along. Instead, it is something we "receive" from a higher place. He spoke often about the journey of Tāne to the highest heaven to bring back three baskets of knowledge, known as Ngā Kete o te Wānanga. These weren't just old stories to Marsden, they were like layers of data that help us understand how the universe works. He saw them as the "software" we need to manage our lives and our land here in Taitokerau.

Kete Tuauri: The Data of the Unseen

The first basket is Kete Tuauri. This contains the knowledge of the unseen world. It’s the realm of patterns, memories, and all the possibilities that haven't happened yet. In our way of thinking, this is the "deep code" of the universe. It’s the spiritual blueprint that sits underneath everything we see. When we pray or focus our intentions, we are interacting with this layer of data. By understanding Kete Tuauri, we realise that everything starts as a spiritual seed before it becomes a physical reality.
