My name is Kaaron Robert Mackie
My father was Papanui Turei Hohepa II aka Robert Turei Mackie
His father was Turei Hohepa
His father was Hohepa Petera...
I could go on for another 20 generations of Rangatira and Tohunga (Chiefs and Priests) until I reach the ancestor of mine, Ngatoroirangi.
Ngatoroirangi was the High Priest that used incantations to change weather, call whales and eventually even call lava from Papatuanuku (mother earth).
Near death, Ngātoro-i-rangi called back to his two sisters, Kuiwai and Haungaroa, who had also come from Hawaiki but remained upon Whakaari (White Island) to send him sacred fire which they had brought from Hawaiki. This they did, sending the geothermal fire in the form of two taniwha (powerful spirits) named Te Pupu and Te Haeata, by a subterranean passage to the top of Tongariro. The tracks of these two taniwha formed the line of geothermal fire which extends from the Pacific Ocean and beneath the Taupō Volcanic Zone, and is seen in the many volcanoes and hot-springs extending from Whakaari to Tokaanu and up to the Tongariro massif. The fire arrived just in time to save Ngātoro-i-rangi from freezing to death, but Ngāuruhoe was already dead by the time Ngātoro-i-rangi turned to give him the fire.
Ngātoro-i-rangi named a large number of places in the Central Plateau of the North Island in order to claim the area on behalf of his descendents, who would eventually return under the mantle of the tribe Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Due to the clouds that swarmed around the mountains Pihanga, Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngaruahoe the desert road side was unknown to Ngātoro-i-rangi at this time which is why the borderlines of Ngati Tuwharetoa are one side of Mt. Ruapehu.
On my Fathers Mothers side, I am descended from a line of Tohunga who have the eponymous ancestor of Ruawharo. The High Priest on the Takitimu waka...the one that carried all of the most important Rangatira and Tohunga, to New Zealand.
Alongside this lineage, I am also descended from the Urukehu or those who were here before the waka. I have the stories of the people who descended through the densities and existed as the fairy people. We were here as Wairua or spirit before we were incarnate.
I say this so that I can point out, that it means nothing.
Whatever "truth" there is in indigenous prophecy...anyone can access it. It's a case of letting go and knowing what you need to know for you, right now. The all will tell you and you'll know exactly what to do...right now...and now....and when the aliens show up.
That's the problem.
The dickheads at the top...I'm talking about MY DIPSHIT GRANDPARENTS...decided that they would keep the knowledge to themselves. Not to safeguard it from "the powers that be"...but because they WERE "the powers that be". With the invading waka that came around 1000 years ago, came the idea that only the high born and certain chosen were told of the higher truths and ways of manipulating energy. The common people were taught other "many god" teachings.
Our tribe has land where our conquering forefathers carved Orion constellations into rock and up until about a hundred years ago, we still used the old "when the mucus comes out of their nose, they're cooked", roasting method. That's how far they fell from pure spirit (mostly by force by invading warring tribes).
Personally, I don't get the whole "misappropriation of culture" thing. I know it sux what happened to us and alot of other people around the planet...FFS - We even have a legal document called the treaty of waitangi...they still won't let us govern ourselves...even though it was set up to govern the "unruly English 'settlers'"...and the govt isn't legally allowed to exist without it. It's really quite laughable.
I have spent alot of time being angry at the system for it's attitude towards me and what I thought was "my culture".
In the end...I realized that truth is truth. It's there in it's purest form, to all who put their heart in the right place and let go. Then you get the real truth. That truth, is what YOU need to know for NOW.
I feel like the utmost endeavor, should be that of remembering that all is one.
That the concepts that inspire deeper connection to all that is, are usually fun and interesting.
That all there is, is love. When you align yourself with that love, it aligns everything with you.
In this way, said events will come and go but you will remain as you are, in every time, all ways.
