As the children grew up they became annoyed with life between their parents. Soon they gathered deep in the darkness to discuss the problems of living in such conditions. Tangaroa was very keen to separate his parents but felt he was not nearly strong enough to complete such a task. Tawhirimatea apposed any talk of separation and threatened his brothers with eternal war if they even attempted to break them up. Tumatauenga scoffed at his brother’s emotional outburst and demanded their parents be separated immediately. Otherwise he would kill them himself. Then Tane stood up, “Calm down brothers - Let me try” he said. Tane thought for a while then lay with his back braced against his mother. He raised his feet up and placed them on his father. Tane strained with all his might and eventually he was able to pry his parents apart. Little by little they began to separate. Just then Tawhirimatea roared with anger then rushed off past Tane and the others to join Rangi. Meanwhile the light flooded into the world… it spread quickly into every corner of the land… and life, as we know it, was born.
This is Te Ao Marama (the world of warmth and light)… and the true beauty of Papatuanuku could be seen at last. Her gorgeous cloak of a thousand shades of green, her impressive snow topped mountains, her abundant rivers, her lush valleys and her generous beaches simply confirm Papa as the mother of absolutely everything. When Tane wanted to create the first mortal women he asked his mother if he could use the sacred red soils of Kurawaka. Papatuanuku agreed to let him use it to mould a body and breathe life into it, on one condition. That if the life ever leaves that body, it be returned to Papa… to become soil again. Tane agreed… thus when we die we enter the underworld via the urupa (uru Papa)… and join our whanau whakapapa link to the land. Our whole existence begins and ends with the land. We are the land… and the land is us. Papatuanuku is the mother, the provider, the life and the whenua. We are the tangata whenua (people of the land).

Comprehending traditional beliefs globally from a new contemporary scientific perspective can unravel many ancient messages. Considering the cosmological concept of Papatuanuku, Mother Earth, the Holy Spirit in connection with the sky Father, Ranginui, many global stories unite. The basic concept is embedded in most cultures and clearly recorded in detail in ancient Egypt.
Many people are aware that the zodiac is an anatomical breakdown of the full celestial body known in Egypt as Nut. The zodiacs of Denderah in Egypt record some historical zodiacs including the celestial form of Nut. In addition to this a circular zodiac exists which rotates in the opposite direction and is circular. It is known now that this is the forgotten and missing link in the traditional cosmological connection between the Earth and it's celestial surroundings.
The zodiac is made up of Earthly observations and it is now known that these related to the twelve zones around the equatorial belt. Each twelve zones have great ancient monuments or stories related to each of the twelve parts of the anatomy, combining to form the complete traditional body of the Earth. Easter Island is the head region and we move around to the lung, Leo region where the Sphinx is located. To the East of Egypt Mr Christ cemented the land of Virgo or the womb region of the World anatomy. To the West of Egypt, Stonehenge is the sign of cancer. Each of the zodiac signs represents a part of the anatomy and an animal connection for example, Aries has the horns of the ram connecting to the top of the head. Taurus has the big neck and relates to the neck region of the anatomy, to the tail or feet of the fish.
Contemplating this from a contemporary view, it is rather revolutionary to see each of these Earthly positions actually refer to a physical Earthly body but bound by a spherical helical form. It is also a major discovery to realise that the evolutionary process of animal dynamics has produced a direct correlation to the Earth's form. We see now that from the top of the head of the Earth, the largest antlers have evolved. From the thigh region we see the springy thighs of the kangaroo. From the nose of the World the sword fish, to the base dynamic of the Antarctic's unique bird, the penguin. After studying animal forms for the past 25 years, we can see how all life forms change and move to the Earth's anatomical body.

The reality of all that is living comes from the mother of earth and our literal mother that gave us life..beautiful ❤
I feel as if a once globally communicated discovery of the relationship between these cosmological structures in life was believed and spread with tangible evidence.
Is see the purity of these ancient teachings preserved in Aotearoa. For many cultures have detailed these stories, they have become complex and so the simple messages have become lost.
"The 3rd century scroll of mystical Coptic Christianity, The Acts of Thomas, gives a graphic account of the Apostle Thomas' travels to India, and contains prayers invoking the Holy Spirit as "the Mother of all creation" and "compassionate mother," among other titles. The most profound Coptic Christian writings definitely link the "spirit of Spirit" manifested by Christ to all believers as the "Spirit of the Divine Mother." Most significant are the new manuscript discoveries of recent decades which have demonstrated that more early Christians than previously thought regarded the Holy Spirit as the Mother of Jesus.
One text is the Gospel of Thomas which is part of the newly discovered Nag Hammadi texts (discovered 1945-1947). Most are composed about the same time as the Biblical gospels in the 1st and 2nd century AD. In this gospel, Jesus declares that his disciples must hate their earthly parents (as in Luke 14:26) but love the Father and Mother as he does, "for my mother (gave me falsehood), but (my) true Mother gave me life." In another Nag Hammadi discovery, The Secret Book of James, Jesus refers to himself as "the son of the Holy Spirit."
The Earth is the Holy Spirit and when you read it this way this become meaningful. Papatuanuku.
The Father is Ranginui but has become confused with the God figure. I grasp the notion where God is the Universal completeness or oneness and all things reside within. Our one small galaxy in a vast see of galaxies then becomes a haven for potentially many Mother and Father figures. My experience and knowledge allows me to see the World as a living body that has been forged by time into recognisable body parts as you can see in my picture. I see how terrestrial life has evolved directly linked to the body parts of the World. As an extended stretch to this I reside in the Wairarapa and as our ancient ones projected the twelve Earthly zones to interpret the Celestial energy, I project the full Earthly body to the Celestial realm and see from where I look at the night sky the glorious Celestial tail. I have been lucky to travel to the Northern hemisphere where I was able to see the head of our Celestial surroundings in a contemporary formation, bound by all ancient teachings.
