Earth Changes In Our Lifetime

By W M Knight © 1999

CHAPTER ONE

LONG CLOUD - LONG SILENCE

In the most unequivocal terms, the legends of the New Zealand Maori recall times when the earth was wracked by every possible form of natural disaster.

From the apparent impact of a comet to the birth of a land from the sea itself, their records are a close match with those of other ancient cultures that recall battles among gods, lands in torment, and heroes and heroines who paved the way for those who survived to start afresh.

Maori prophecy also hints at such things happening again.

Legends and prophecy these things may be, but in many details they are an uncanny match with scientific theories about the past and expectations for the immediate future. The terminology is different, but both the Maori and modern scientific descriptions relate to the same events, except that it is science which is the late starter and the slow learner. Consider for example how 20th Century scientists were surprised to find that the Dogon tribe of Africa knew without the aid of radio telescopes of the existence of Sirius B (the Dog Star), and also speak of "space brothers" from that system who have visited and taught them many things. While scientists were finally forced to accept the existence of Sirius B when they confirmed its existence with their instruments, they still refuse to allow that the rest of the Dogon "legend" is equally valid.

The Maori were also aware of "star brothers" long before science began looking for evidence of intelligent life on other planets - intelligent beings who may well be the source of the ancient and world-wide references to gods in the histories of so many cultures, and who are in truth the "missing link" in humanity's evolution as a hominid.

New Zealand is a pearl of a country, yet it is one of the world's least-known nations. Situated in the South Pacific, it is basically several large islands, the two largest uninspiringly called "The North Island" and "The South Island" by its European settlers who have lived here in numbers for little more than a century. And as they did in so many other countries, the predominantly British immigrants moved to banish the ethnic language from everyday use, struck up a quick trade in natural resources by tearing down forests and shipping them "home," and replaced the trees and the many varieties of birds which died with their passing, with grassland farms, crops, sheep and cattle. The birds were replaced with chickens - which certainly filled a need since the giant moa had already been hunted to extinction.

When the British came, schools were soon established to teach the English and Christian version of God, creation, history and life, with an amputated version of Maori history being condescendingly given less than respectful mention from time to time. A "Maori Parliament" was established under the guise of fostering national unity, and it worked very well as a ploy to divert attention from what was no doubt the hidden European agenda of the time - total take-over and control of the country. In New Zealand, this did not succeed, because the Maori warrior of the past, who was to become such a legendary fighter in the ranks of the Maori Battalion in later years, was also to become a worthy and honourable adversary in the new political battlefields of the parliamentary system. Thus, despite some notable exceptions, New Zealanders as a whole do live in harmony together, and even when that harmony is disrupted by arguments over past treaty commitments or current land ownership, such events are more often than not resolved, or at least moved toward resolution, by the efforts of all those who contribute to the process of change. This process is not always peaceful - and we are going to find, as the Maori have known for thousands of years, that this is the way of Nature itself.

In the century or more of decay and progress (depending on one's point of view) since the Europeans arrived in any numbers in New Zealand, what they have not known is that a lot of Maori lore, knowledge, history, and true science was kept from them deliberately. And although the Maori are ostensibly one nation today, because of past tribal differences many Maori may not be aware of this fact either.

When sailors such as Captain Cook arrived in the South Pacific to spread their diseases and religions in the name of their country, king and god, Maoridom was already an ancient culture, and as such, like any culture, it was in a state of ongoing evolution within itself. Cannibalism and slavery were reputedly a way of life. The tribes were supposedly given to warring among themselves, or to helping shipwrecked newcomers ashore, only to make them the main course at a seaside feast.

It might be argued that this once great culture which was partly seeded by intrepid and learned men and women who migrated from South America in pre-Inca days, had finally dissolved and decayed into barbarism. But was such barbarism worse than the habits of the English who were given to using the force of the press gang to turn men into slaves as sailors, or hunting the Aborigine of Australia by licence on Sundays? The British certainly felt no pangs of conscience about developing a trade in shrunken heads and stolen artefacts, and to this day films depicting past Maori culture tend to treat them as cunning savages. But the outward appearance of savagery was never the full measure of the Aboriginal and Maori cultures, both of which are conversely famed for their mystical knowledge, the powers of their priests or shaman, and their ancient roots - and both of which hide ancient secrets about science, the human body and mind, and even about the cosmos, to this very day.

Both cultures date back to pre-history, to the very earliest times, to epochs before the English language existed anywhere; certainly to ages long pre-dating any of the so-called empires or super powers that we are familiar with. In reality, any nation which uses its scientists to develop an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction which could destroy the whole world ten times over - and vaporise men, women and children fifty miles from the epicentre of an atomic blast in the time it takes for a dropped plate to hit the floor - is far more savage, not to mention a thousand times more cowardly, than the Maori ever were.

Further, when we reflect on the fact that in any civilized city right this minute killers walk the same streets as rabbis and ministers, we should understand that if there were killers and cannibals among the Maori, there were also peaceful and loving people among them too, and some of them were chosen from birth to eventually attend special and secret schools of wisdom. Part of that wisdom decreed that it would be dangerous to reveal their sacred knowledge to those with no capacity for understanding the mysteries of prophecy, legend, and ancient science; be they Maori or Pakeha, people are people, and some of them care little for wisdom, preferring instead to wield power and control through fear and force.

So the sacred knowledge became secret knowledge, and the students of these schools of wisdom (both men and women) would become tohunga ("medicine men" by European definition), who are the knowledgeable doctors and visionaries of ethnic cultures which are so hypocritically decried by Christianity as practitioners of superstitious ignorance because they call on the powers of invisible gods and speak to invisible spirits (there is an irony there somewhere). But the tohunga and tribal leaders were wise, and this wisdom prompted their decision to keep certain elements of Maori history, or the history of what is translated as "The Nation," as closely guarded secrets for many generations.

Only recently, in a book titled "Song Of Waitaha - The Histories of A Nation," has some of this secret knowledge been revealed, starting with a prophecy that "all will seem lost beyond recall," but the time will come when "the circle of our dreamtime takes a new shape for a new dawn. And the people of all colours join to bind what was broken and live in hope."

It is time to turn the pages of history, to recall global disasters of the past, to question the current cycle of world-wide weather changes that are upon us once again, and to look to the future that is unfolding as we breathe.

New Zealand will not escape unscathed, if prophecy proves to be correct - but it will, in the not too distant future, become once again a participant in the next step in human evolution.

Therefore, at the dawning of the 21st Century, we may well ask ourselves, what is this land's destiny? Will it evolve further as a nation of mixed cultures, or will it once again be devastated by the forces of Nature; forces which have played such a part in its past, and which legend and prophecy - backed up now by science - expect to impact not only this one small nation in the south Pacific, but perhaps the whole planet as well.

In ancient times, New Zealand was called Aotearoa ("The Land of The Long White Cloud"). To put it in perspective it is a very small country when seen on a map or globe and measured against the land masses that exist elsewhere. But appearances are deceptive, because the existence of vast oceans creates the illusion that places like New Zealand exist in isolation, when in reality they are inextricably linked to the crust of the world, which over the aeons has subsided beneath the oceans. The world we know today is not the world it was in ancient days.

New Zealand then is only one of the multitude of features of the planet Terra - a planet which is constantly undergoing its own cycles of change, growth and evolution - and it is only one of many countries whose ethnic peoples recall times of change that affected the whole world. Some of those changes took many ages, but there have also been times when they were both swift and violent beyond imagining. Prophecy, legend, and science indicate that the world is now moving into, and through, such a period of time, and New Zealand will not escape its share of upheaval.

Science knows for certain that natural disasters are predictable, but they are far from controllable. The best instruments cannot do more than provide data about the past, the present and possible futures - and when people interpret that data, it invariably gets coloured by the opinions of those doing the interpreting. These opinions may be based on a significant amount of knowledge and learning, but they are at best nothing more than informed opinion.

On the other hand, there are gifted people throughout the world who for centuries have used the finest instrument there is - the mind - to record past events, to interpret current events, and to predict future probabilities. We call their art, prophecy. But we generally treat it with scepticism, or derision, because we cannot understand how anyone can see into the future. Therefore, we do not believe what we are told.

But this does not mean it is not true, or that the prophecies will not come to pass; it means only that we do not want to hear the message.

Given the reality that the ancient and modern prophets of many cultures have been predicting for a long time that the earth would go through a violent rebirthing around the beginning of the 21st Century, and given that modern scientists have been saying the same thing, in different terms, for at least half a century, it would be wise to sit up and take notice.

It is also natural for people in authority to use their prestige or position to scoff at "wild stories" about imminent peril or disaster, and to insist that no-one should worry about anything so bizarre as old legends that tell of "fireballs" from the heavens, "space brothers," volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, and tidal waves that took the lives of whole nations of people. However, though we may scoff at legends of the past, we can hardly argue with present statistics, which prove that storms, earthquakes and volcanic activity have been increasing globally for a quarter of a century. El Nino has made its mark with associated weather changes everywhere; and, out of sight and out of mind, the Pacific Ring of Fire is also beginning to writhe like an awakening dragon; like water coming to a boil the very oceans are heating up as underwater volcanoes begin to shake off their slumber.

Such events have indeed happened before, which is why they are at the core of Maori legends of the past, and prophecies about the future.

Like it or not, that future is now.

The Ring of Fire on which Aotearoa sits is a long chain of unstable earthquake-prone and volcanically active ground which circles the Pacific Ocean. In past periods of heightened activity, it has played its part in the creation of the land of New Zealand as it is today; proof of that can be seen in the constant geothermal activity of the central North Island; the irregular but menacing rumblings and eruptions from the volcanoes that straddle the country from one coast to the other; and even in the South Island, formed as it is by the battle between great tectonic plates riding on molten magma within the earth, we see evidence that New Zealand is accustomed to the fires of change.

Once upon a time, the land was not as it is now; and what it is now, it may not be for much longer, because the tides of change are stirring around the globe, as they did in the times of Maori legend.

Back then, the whole world was different - and again, science knows this, because it has core samples from Antarctica which prove it was once favored by a totally different climate. It was inhabited. And science knows that too - but it is a fairly well kept secret

So too was New Zealand, at a time when world-wide changes rippled through the skin of the whole globe.

In those days, people lived in various places around the planet, and those who survived what happened have recorded their experiences, and many prophecies, so the Maori are not alone among the ancient nations of the world to have recorded past calamities and to predict coming ones. Those predictions now have a substantial degree of scientific verification, lending credibility to the suggestion that the world is on the brink of some form of global disaster. To cite but one example, scientists are well aware that the Antarctic ice shelf is slipping from its foundations, and that alone has the potential to create a tsunami that could circle the globe, devastating New Zealand on the way, and raising sea levels hundreds of feet. In addition, the movement of such a huge mass of ice and water could create awesome earthquakes, which the Richter scale has no capacity to measure.

Nevertheless, even if all the worst prophecies should come to pass, the outlook is actually truly positive, for the same records, prophecies and visions also speak of the establishment of a new era of widespread peace and harmony over the following decades.

This story is about Aotearoa, how it came to be in the world of the past, what it may experience in the present, and what role it will play in the world of the future. In some respects it is a frightening story, but if we are prepared to listen, we will find that it is one with a happy ending, for as the Maori elders say, "we catch the breath of Life. We speak. And, to open the way to the deepest knowledge, we listen."

Maori prophecy says fire will explode across the heavens. It will roar like the greatest explosion ever heard by mankind. It will create cyclonic winds that will in turn destroy the infrastructure of civilization as we know it.

Once again, the passing of one age and the birth of another will be recorded and remembered as the time of legend, when "the gods" vented their wrath upon the world as they are said to have done before. And they certainly did.

When the tumult subsides, those who emerge from their shelters, caves and retreats will recover, as will the land. Seeds will begin to sprout. Life will pick up, and go on.

The new legends will recall the shattering of mountains, the shifting of vast land masses, and perhaps even the fact that New Zealand slid through the ocean like a rudderless ship before being anchored once again further south. There is indeed hidden but obvious truth in the Maori history which recalls how the South Island was once torn asunder by a great storm (part of it sank) and was later joined by a new "outrigger," and then the North Island was "fished from the sea."

Legend is but metaphor for real events.

Maori records and those of races which until recently knew nothing of the Bible story of Noah and the Ark, are all perfectly accurate about The Deluge, which was one of the agents of global change many centuries ago. It was The Deluge which played a very significant role in New Zealand's past. But who would believe that anything vaguely similar might soon be upon us once again?

Education has a purpose - to fit the child into the society in which it lives, teaching socially acceptable history, cultural manners and values, religious beliefs, and so on. But what we learn as formal history is not the whole truth, because history is written to perpetuate the aims, values and beliefs of a particular culture - and that is what happened when Europeans settled in Aotearoa. New Zealand became a predominantly British colony, bringing with it a parliamentary system of government, and teaching its new generations of children that New Zealand was discovered by a certain Captain Cook, a great navigator who sailed uncharted oceans with a fearless crew, followed by the children's ancestors who made the perilous journey to New Zealand from a country far across the sea.

At a cursory level, the Maori history is remarkably similar in that their ancestors also came to this new land by sea, but in other ways it is vastly and profoundly different, because what we have not known until recently is that the Maori have a far more ancient history of their discovery of New Zealand - complete with references to experiences that were precipitated by The Deluge. It was not until the publication of the book "Song of Waitaha - The Histories of A Nation," that these secrets were revealed, along with prophecies that are now coming to pass.

But once again, the European mind appears to have dismissed the Maori stories as insignificant and unworthy of serious attention, ignoring the fact that the revelation of these Maori secrets brings with them great insights into events which Western science has only this century started to investigate.

It is a fact that, locked as it has been for hundreds of years into the Judeo-Christian belief system, the Western mind has been prone to ignoring, or if possible totally suppressing the histories, practices, beliefs, and even the languages of the cultures which it has conquered, subjugated, and, either benignly or by force, assimilated into its own chosen forms of governmental, religious and economic control.

Some of the Maori were wise enough to recognise these potential dangers when the Europeans arrived, and even though real efforts were made to destroy their culture and their history under the guise of assimilation, certain elders who were the custodians of knowledge which predates European history by tens of thousands of years, chose to preserve their records in the utmost secrecy.

Little did the pakeha know that Maori spirituality at its most sacred, most secret core, espoused views and knowledge about creation, God, love, and the powers of the mind which rivalled and surpassed anything the Europeans brought to their shores. In fact, what they brought was a religion and a cultural ethic which viewed people of color as heathens awaiting redemption through allegiance to a dogmatic creed that demanded that the "natives" give up their own beliefs, even their own language, in favour of the new religion of the immigrants. Perhaps, given that cannibalism, head shrinking, and slavery for prisoners of war were part of the Maori culture at the time, this was an improvement of some sort. But we have not paused to wonder at the fact that not everyone was a cannibal, nor were all Maoris "primitive natives." Behind the scenes of their culture, just as there exists behind the scenes of today's societies, there were great men and women whose knowledge, love and teachings were as wise and sacred as anything ever known on earth. So why would they expose themselves to a group of foreigners whose only interests were power, domination, control and commerce?

To be educated in the pakeha schools of New Zealand around the 1950s was to learn little about Maori history other than that "they were cannibals; they used stone tools; they came here in primitive canoes from Hawaii or India or somewhere - they don't even know themselves. They couldn't speak English until we taught them. They're great bulldozer drivers. Good shearers. Terrific soldiers. Bad drinkers. Rotten students, especially at math.... But some of my best friends are Maoris. And a lot have become Christians."

So much for European attitudes of the 50s. Imagine then what it must have been like to be a Maori when the first Europeans arrived, especially a Maori elder, well educated in the ancient knowledge of his or her people, and knowing because of that that history was in a sense repeating itself. New settlers were once again coming from lands far across the sea - as the Maori and Maoriori had done before them - and once again, the land would enter a period of time in which the clash of cultures and beliefs would result in turmoil and bloodshed, misunderstanding and argument, distrust and hate. Such an elder would also know full well that while the ancient traditions were based on peace, love, respect and responsibility as the attributes of human nature which must be cultivated to ensure harmony within a society, and by extension, harmony with the life force of the land, there are times when the minds of men choose the tides of conquest and the illusions of power. It is best, then, to love the new neighbour (if you have the ability to do so - and such elders do indeed), and treat him as a guest. But do not open every room for his appraisal, and never reveal the storehouse where the most sacred artefacts are housed. It is well to let such people believe they have had the last word. It is well to be silent. And the elders of the Nation have kept their secrets well, knowing in their wisdom that a time would come when the new nation of people would need to be told some of that sacred/secret wisdom.

At last, the tide is on the turn. Anger and violence are coming to their natural conclusion - the world is replaying a drama which has been played many times before: one civilization is on the brink of disaster, and another stands ready to take its place. It is in such times that the land itself is subject to upheaval on a massive scale, as if symbiotically mirroring the attitudes of its human occupants, and then, when the tide finally changes, peace returns.

The Maori leaders, the chiefs and elders of ethnic groups throughout the world, know these things. They know too (often from hard experience, for many an honest tribal doctor, priest or prophet has been killed by the ignorant) that there is wisdom in silence.

But now, the silence has been broken.

And what these elders have to say has implications for the whole planet.
