Note on following text: I awoke a-troubled, and I wrote this. I mean no harm by these words; I just needed to jolt my brain a little bit out of "political correctness" and a perhaps ignorant status quo. The following text is a thought experiment, a mechanism to test the waters of our beautiful - old but new - world that we all now live in (2011).
"The past is the womb of today, but also it's grave."
1.
The so called 'Māori' non longer exist, only in history and as legacy do they remain.
There is certainly a legacy from the past of the Austro-Polynesian people who some and then virtually all came to be known as 'Māori', but today for people to call themselves 'Maori' is an ersatz, reactionary, opportunistic, and ignorant thing to do.
'Māori' is an obsolete term; a term needing a new context and possibly a prefix to stay alive with any real truth and relevance. Alive today we have legacies of aspects and notions as shadow of the wonderful and primitive and oh so beautiful Austro-Polynesian culture who inhabited Aotearoa New Zealand before the wider world came.
A vast array of Austro-Polynesian memetic structures are no longer relevant; the term 'Māori' was needed when the wider world started to have conjunctions in and on this land, but in the twentieth century this title - in truth - faded to relic, a relic that history should remember as vitally refreshing to world culture, and the word 'Māori' something so linguistically calculated, much more than any modern day marketing company could ever hope to achieve.
The world needed the word 'Māori' then, when the wider world came to these islands. The wider world that now has genetically and culturally assimilated with the Austro-polynesian people.
As 'Māori' means natural or ordinary (common, generic?), and was used in conjunction with 'Tangata', as in 'Tangata Māori', 'the natural people'. The term is completely irrelevant to the modern Aotearoa New Zealand reality, where are our new titles, to define us today?
Being somewhere only 800 years and coveting a come from place, a homeland called 'Hawaiiki', is non what makes an indigenous people?
People are hanging on to old dusty memes that are just not alive today, this causes, confusion, distrust, ill-health, and a societal pathology that does non seem to be getting better any-time soon, and could almost be regarded as a sub-human condition.
New memetic linguistic structures are needed now. Today 'Māori' legacy is so beautiful and vital to this country called Aotearoa New Zealand; so we need new words to give us clear light of the new world situation, in today's reality.
New words for our new world could be such as, Euronesian, Globalnesian, Uninesian, Extranesian, Ultranesian, Ultra Māori, Extra Māori, Exo-Māori, Neo Māori?
2.
We live in a transient, complex, and inter-connected world.
The self hating ignorant meme regurgitation's that the glasses wearing Pakeha ancestry denying Hone Harawira espoused/es is a sign of a great unsoundness in his logical discourse, to follow through with his thinking the man will end up in a hut eating rats, punga, and the occasional trespasser, as-well as having increasingly genetically disintegrating offspring/descendants. He needs to make peace with his Pakeha world.
When the wider world came to the Austro-Polynesian people, the wider world did non try to take away their culture, language, mana, - they came with the hand of universal fellowship; there was some disruption, with disease, new cultures, and new shapes of warfare, but the greatest indignity was caused by the Austro-Polynesian people them-selves, who for a time, were greatly distracted by what the wider world had brought to them. The current idea that the wider world tried to destroy Te Reo and Māori is wrong, great trouble was given to understand, preserve and translate the language; and the language was and is given a contemporary living intake to all the people of the land, in that the majority of place names in Aotearoa New Zealand, are in the Austronesian language.
Civilisation came to this land now known as Aotearoa New Zealand in waves of varying types of culture; let us be thankful the land carries them all to our combined great destiny.
In regards to their relationship of ‘ownership’ to the land currently known as Aotearoa New Zealand, the only difference between the Austro-Polynesian and the wider world, is that the wider world arrived here on a bigger boat.
Hone Harawira needs to take his little flag and his maniacal mana and wake up to the new world that we have ALL constructed.
The 'Treaty of Waitangi' is irrelevant to most people, including so called "struggling Māori" who have non seen one cent from all the pay outs; the 'Treaty of Waitangi' is by and for "fat cats" of all ethnic backgrounds.
A thought experiment: So some say that the land was taken from the so called ‘Māori’, this is just not so, what really occurred was something called evolution, things are better now, for the people descended from ‘Māori’ and the wider world too?
We live today with an ultra-Māori reality, an extra-Māori experience.
The Austro-Polynesian descended people of Aotearoa New Zealand always have had their own sovereignty and their own rights, and now being tax-paying members of the social contracted democracy we live in, they also 'own' the land and the sea relevant to our oh so temporary guardianship of them. Close minded fascist divisions of these islands population is a illusionary deformity of what people really want, and is the truth of human interaction, health, and prosperity.
3.
Let the so called 'Māori' have their so called 'sovereignty' when in fact they all-ready have it. True 'sovereignty' is given by our cosmic nature, something that occurs upon birth, in the genealogy/whakapapa, to react to and let an outside system dictate this 'sovereignty' is an oxymoron. Language and behaviour learning is the true ruler of our life as mimicry, as cosmic fractal forms.
The Tuhoe iwi tribe all-ready own the land known as Te Urewera 'National Park' by virtue of being New Zealanders/Aotearoaens, and thus own the Te Urewera 'National Park' via the democratic social contract/taxes system?
Polynesian youth identifying with the west coast U.S.A. cultural media and crime scene is absolutely laughable, and unfortunate that their role-models are so irrelevant to be any real form of consciousness for them, do they non see that not everyone in their culture is dressing up and talking like the west coast U.S.A. so called 'gangster' style? They could be living in a really great way and place, instead they allow base meme mimicry to defy and deny, and distort their true natures.
I love Oceania's diverse cultural nature. Let mutual support, love and needed genetic sharing guide our way.
Non more governmental policy based on ethnicity? Let policy reflect need not ethnicity? Though some ethnic groups seem via observation and statistics to be fairing more poorly than others, why is this? Is it from mimicry role model confusions and too many multi-cultural genetic and memetic inputs?
Needs exist, let them be faced in an equal manner, which I think they are mostly (circa 2011), but still there is a perception of ethnic disharmony, whom does propagate such disharmony? Reactionary older relatives and other role models, media artefacts and subjective meme distortion all add to ethnic disharmony?
More translation services for different cultures/languages to co-exist.
There is a meme out there of a great ‘racist’ notion, pale faced Euronesian 'Māori' screaming in the street ‘white Satan’?!
No more so called ‘racism’, meaning non more ethnic related pathological behaviours please. It’s the 21st century, we are all equal in love’s cosmic domain, let retaliation itself be the enemy not the people.
Let us non be involved in the construction of traps for those who identify themselves - however wrongly - as strictly 'Māori', denying/ignoring the wider world and/or European ancestry, today, yesterday, or tomorrow.
Retaliation and memes of retaliation are the reason for some of the modern worlds ills, from terrorism to ethnic pathological paradigms to crime. True or false?
Superficial and sometimes ersatz cultural artefacts are not the be all and end all of a healthy culture and nation?
The inter-related whaka-papa we are all part of. We all breathe the same air and share cosmic genetic heritage. Long term genetic health dictates that different ethnicities must merge together?
Having two electoral roles is undemocratic and divisive, such a superficial aspect to a people’s real needs? What does having the Māori electoral role actually achieve?
Real people are in no need of treaties, leave it to the chiefs, the so called fat cats and governmental officials, leave it to their deals of Hell, their private world of war, greed, sophist memes!?
With our words let us non construct vacuums of sophistry, sophist vacuums that pathology may fill.
4.
The original memetic structure that the word 'Māori' was originally a part of has long departed. The new evolved use of the word 'Māori' is used by the assimilated and describes a position and situation of opportunism and of a confused sophist hatred for an idea of self and other, confused ideas of an attempt at cultural destruction that never actually happened. Maori culture was certainly distracted and distorted but never destroyed by exposure to the wider world, this is evident by the historical record, the retaining of place names in Maori, and the modern legacy that is very strong today, though with some aspects having any lasting value remains to be seen.
Where is the new mind for this new multi-cultural situation. What brave soul will ypolambaneinly 'take the word' and sooth perceived troubles with true descriptive powers of/for our neo tangata, our neo whenua.
The past is the womb of today, but also it's grave, give us new voice, and even new gods for our emerged complexity that our descendants will see as a simplistic standard.
Some strains of so called Māori, their descendants, with their legacy of subhuman memes, gain a great sense of identity with the distorted perceived hatred, anger, struggle that some have about when the wider world came to Aotearoa New Zealand with their long term plans. These descendants of Māori became demented by the good fit their more animalistic memes have with a perceived situation of unfair treatment by 'the always other'.
Descendants of Māori are sometimes trapped by an identity of unwellness, a paradigm they have inherited from a complex background of the Māori primitive value system, and new living standards gained by introduction and invitation by the wider world.
Some Māori descended people find a great humour and character in obesity, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, violence, and sexual promiscuity/paraphilia; a disturbed distorted sense of self that is non helped by the still quite fresh trauma and shock from the quite radical and extreme changes brought on by the exposure and integration to the wider world over these past few centuries.
How can you "steal" land from a stone age people who eat each other, keep slaves, and have sexual standards such as rape as a normal sexual feature? "Stealing" such a people's land sounds more like advancing salvation and great liberation, than robbery (what a point of view this is).
The wider world that came to this land, Aotearoa, New Zealand, was in some ways primitive itself, would the same things have occurred today, with what we know now, and our modern values?
What with all it's perceived flaws, we live in a truly beautiful world, in a great cosmic sea we are just starting to truly know. Complete and perfect we are now, but I still say, one day we will all be more complete, let us show great patience, love, and wisdom in this process?
The word 'Māori' is and was only ever a temporary descriptive term; now with the assimilation with the wider world that has now occurred totally and utterly with descended Māori, the word is more bugbear than a useful title?
What use and effect the word 'Maori' today? Today's use of the word 'Maori' is a celebration of sorts, a celebration of difference (diversity is good?), opportunism (naturally occurring to all ethnicities?), crime, sub humanisms, and a confused peddling of a sometimes ersatz culture of arts, language, and meme. These modern takes on primitive legacies is evolution, but it needs changing, control, and right celebrations; why hang onto a past, when it is in many ways such a pathological one?
Cosmic wind love all; complex interrelatedness’s and rebirth is all; love all.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew D.N. Parsons.
