I WORSHIP MAURI

It's been nearly 2 years since I wrote a blog post about my next spiritual step .

Not all of my blog readers know me personally.

And so in brief, since at least the age of 10, I have explored every possible religion on Earth. I understand the basic teachings and known practices of all major world religions. I have looked at Sects, Religious history, Religious figures and Scripture.

I have visited Masajid (Muslim Mosque), Churches, a Synagogue, Gurdwara (Sikh Temple), Mandirs (Hindu Temple), Bahai Centre's, Buddhist Temples and so on. I have met, Imam's, Pastors, Reverends, Nuns, Monks, Poojaris, Bishops and so on.

I have met the lay people and average followers of these religions.

I have eaten with them, prayed with them, worshiped with them and met with them.

I have had both Christian and Muslim initiation. I have worked for a Church before.

I have also kept an abiding love and continued practice of Te Reo Maori me ona tikanga. This means that today I can stand on my marae and do karakia and mihimihi, confidently and fluently.

And on top of all this I have continued to try to more fully understand and deeply explore MY Own spiritual gifts and the wisdom given to me by my tupuna.

AT This junction in time.... THIS Matariki....

Acknowledging too the ability for movement and change. And this can all easily change... but right NOW....

I make the active choice to CHOOSE TO WORSHIP DIVINE ENERGY MANIFEST IN ALL.
Mai i tenei po au ka tuku karakia ki te Mauri me te Mana o te tangata mai i te Ira Atua kua tau ki runga i a ia mai i a IO Matua Kore.

I choose the one and only eternal, everlasting, all powerful, all knowing IO Matua Kore as my God.
I worship his energetic life essence in all.

For me his energy is the same in any church, temple, mosque, cemetery or marae. I worship that energy in the tree, the sea, the mountain, the old man, the child, the baby, the rich man or the beggar.

I seek after this energy
