kia ora koutou katoa,
i live on Waiheke Island with my family and friends, and have only just tuned into Project Camelot/Avalon via a friend who has been tuned in since its early establishment. frankly, it was a bit over my head when he first started talking to me about it, but now having listened to several interviews with the likes of David Wilcock, Miriam Delicado and Andy Guass (among others) it really is hard to continue to ignore what is happening around you!
however, this knowledge now comes with responsibility, and how to manage this so that fear and irrationality are controlled and channelled positively amidst planning for the future, which presently is still unknown. i mean it is this unknown that gets me. what will it really mean for us in NZ? do i continue with my kiwisaver contributions? my friend txt me this morning to say that he had the latest Bill Deagle interview downloaded, talking about his vision of WW3 occurring in early October?! does this mean nuclear war is apparent, should we be worried, i mean, nuclear threat has been around since its creation, hence David Lange's stand to have it banned from NZ waters in the 1980s. but are we planning for the worst case scenario, where we will have to defend ourselves from invaders if we become the land of plenty.
i know that if this time comes, my family and i will be heading inland away from any city or populated area! luckily we have family and land in the King Country, which is elevated and has plenty of access to fresh water. also we will be surrounded by people who know how to live off the land and survive.
however, i really hope that it never comes to this as it is all too depressing. Miriam Delicado says it is possible to change the timeline. She talks about self responsibility, placing our hands in the earth and being more sustainable so that we may take pressure off the earth and its resources. i am so grateful that i live in a place that is surrounded by the bush, as i write this i can see a lokuot tree outside my window, burgeoning with berries, welcoming the kereru to a feast. this year, i have really focused on putting in a vegie garden that will sustain us through summer, as in the past it has been more about working to make money so that we can have?!
in regards to Maori folklore and mythology, i have delved into this alot in my later years as i myself am a descendent. unfortunately because of colonisation and assimilation alot of these stories have been lost and today what we are left with is a watered down version of what may have been. however, there are those out there who have held on to this knowledge. as with most indigenous cultures, spirituality is the basis of their creation, their continuance and strength, and Maori are no different (you can't believe everything you hear in the media!). there are the likes of (to name a few) tohunga Hohepa Kereopa and Maori Marsden
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~dominic/io-oral.html and academic Ranginui Walker who specifically talk about early Maori, their stories, beliefs and spirituality.
i hope this may be of use to some and look forward to reading more and contributing again.
Arohanui
