A few items on current affairs in a changing world, and of New Zealand's early Colonial and pre-European history, with events surrounding the 1840 'Treaty of Waitangi'. Many accounts here have been drawn from primary sources written by those who were actually there.
All items are listed on the DIRECTORY page.
THE 1840 TREATY: We should not try to restore or re-write it, as human nature will end up making the outcome even worse than it has been. It was necessary and suitable for 200 years ago, but that was in another age altogether and no one is living there now. The mere idea of suggesting there should be a treaty in 2025 is in itself racial, encouraging the divide-and-rule nature of Colonialism to continue. People need to wake up; and anyway, who is financing all this carry-on?
It was very soon after the 1840 Treaty, that the Wairua or Soul of the Treaty was broken when the main initiators, James Busby, Henry Williams and others were despised and rejected by those who went on to form their own Government in Wellington. In 1847 Henry Williams wrote: 'How furious the natives will become when they realise how severely they have been deceived and cheated!'
The same can be said for today in 2025, as many people will become astounded and bewildered at the enormity of deception we have been living under, and the depths to which the human mind will go to cover it up. However, we have entered a new age, where we now see about us a system that we have become used to, being unveiled and exposed, dissolving into history.
The word 'māori' (pre Colonialism) meant 'ordinary' or 'common', therefore all of the country's ethnicities today are 'māori' anyway! There are not two human species!..Continue this here.
An holistic (wholeistic) approach to history is very beneficial, because whatever we hear or see we don't have to argue with, judge or condemn, knowing that the correct understanding will soon fall into place. Otherwise there becomes just too much too handle and we wouldn't know which way to turn.
Words are powerful, and as understanding develops, perceptions change. What we once may have considered to be a future fearful event, dissolves with understanding. For instance, the word Armageddon that was once feared, I find is not a future event at all, but just refers to the battle we have sorting out the changes in our own mind as we mature. After all, this (mind) is where it is all happening.
There is no need to fear the future - the Earth doesn't end, but the world we live in, ends (dies or changes continually) - a good thing. We grow into a new world daily.
