Absolute Nothingness

Te Kộrekore is the absolute nothingness. The absolute in white. Before the singularity and before the advent of reason. In the intangible realm - a void bereft only of emptiness. Clearly, there is no such thing as a spiritually blank space, vacuum, or void.  Everything  is encapsulated by Iộ - including  the nothingness completely.

Te Kộrekore is potentiality without form or mass - incomprehensible to the rational mind and its many senses. Before the phenomenological world of existence and substance. The nothingness that cannot be wrapped up, or bound, or fastened, or constrained. Te Kộrekore, the white flowing from the red. Potentialities and possibilities into the black.

Creation

Four metaphysical epochs above and four evolutionary eons below:

Te Kộrekore - The Nothingness 

Te Pộ Nui - The Darkness 

Te Aộ Maarama - The World of Light.

Te Aộ Pộ - The World of Night.

Creator

Iộ, without beginning or end: a father; a mother; a face; a counterface. Iộ of the slumbering countenance. Calmness and tranquility itself. Iộ, the unchanging and unadulterated – in whom there is no confusion or inconsistency. Iộ of the gloriously blinding countenance – seen as a flash of light only. Iộ, the hidden - omnipresent unseen.

Iộ, the precursộr to all of creation. Io, of the good, the bad, and every shade inbetween. Iộ, incomprehensible to the sciences but readily available to the primary senses. Iộ, the nothingness, the darkness, and the light. In the spiritual space Te Pộ - the relationship creation has with creator is graphically expressed thus:

Introduction

Te Pộ is an interior realm that celebrates and venerates Iộ as Creator. Of all things tangible and intangible; physical and non-physical; natural and supernatural. Iộ, the nothingness, the darkness, and the light. For the spiritually astute Te Pộ will be familiar and well turned earth. For others Te Pộ will be like coal.

The following observations are an exploration of a spiritual cosmos - a deep space reflected as a luminous night. An all embracing darkness that is creation inclusive of the light. By the luminosity of Atua – Te Pộ is further elucidated. A magnificent view of universe vivid with diverse compositions, and countless colours and hues.

Painted is a broad depiction only. The palette of Atua is the base shade solely - the red, white, and black. In concert, Te Pộ is a splendiferous world coloured richly by a lexicon of hues to the details and to the shadows. The trichromatic tones - bedazzled by spirited shades of corporeal colour.

In the colours that paint Te Pộ, disregard the murkiness and dullness at the core of human dark matter. The negative blackness that is a human contrivance. Like the darkness of night the spiritual space Te Pộ is radiant with potential brightly. No catastrophic events or downward spirals exist. Potentiality purely welded to Possibility.

Te Pộ is a spiritual manifestation appropriate to a contemporary age and rendition. Building on the traditions and conventions expressing Te Ao Maaori – The Maaori Worldview - but not a reproduction thereof. Te Pộ traverses alternate terrains – a spiritual scape whose shadows are intensely pronounced and richly conceived in untainted clays, metals and gems.

Te Pộ altogether shuns the mass rationality of the western tradition - that condemns the massless to oblivion. The night thus an apt description – an embracing darkness dappled by many spectrums of light. Embracing also an idealised notion of a spiritual identity - where we ought to be in the age of post modernity.

Ultimately, Te Pộ is a narration of relationships – a binding sequence of events. A whakapapa inked lightly in dark matter. To bind a people, to a particular place, and to a higher purpose. Interpreted herein as Te Pộ - the place; Taangata Wairua - the people; and Iộ Maatua Kộre – the much higher purpose.

Greeting

In humility

to the many walking

and floating

in the natural world

To the many who live in simplicity

whether by choice or not

and to the more complex

living in complexity.

To the living and to the dead

and to the roaming
  between opposing portals.

To the misunderstood

to the misdiagnosed

I greet thee

To the charismatic the evangelist

I applaud thee.

To the charlatan to the pretender

I entreat thee.

the

walk

towards

enlightenment

requires
humility
