KOHI enters my life and Introduces Kereru Magic

 

My New Zealand Maori Guide Kohi made himself known to me soon after my arrival in Gisborne 12 years ago.

 

I loved the East Coast and was somehow able to relate to the wild ruggedness of the bush, the glorious rivers, wide expanses of deserted coastline and blue windswept sea it was a familiar vibration  that seemed to call me to walk the beach no matter how adverse the weather.

 

My first contact with Kohi came while I was walking on one of these beaches in late evening.  There had been a spring tide and a huge amount of driftwood had been left behind by the rampaging sea.

 

I had walked further than I thought when the realization dawned that it was no longer afternoon and the sun was slowly turning into a red ball of red bathing the landscape in golden light.

A patch of driftwood was close by so I sat on one of the larger logs to rest.  I felt quite tired, as the temperature had been very high when I started out and the long walk had begun to take its toll.  Now the sun was beginning to set; crimson, pink and orange.

I reached out to the brilliant orange reflection, feeding my emotional chakra from the orange light as my guide Copernicus had shown me to do.  The sand around me was still damp and speckled with foam from the outgoing tide.  I gathered the light into my heart chakra where with every breath I actually take in and absorb the beauty and vibration of Mother Earth, breathing it into myself to refresh and revitalise my etheric body and soothe my soul in the process.

 

I must have spent some time in this meditative state.  I came out of it feeling cold, and the sunset had disappeared.  As I went to stand up, my hand felt something cold and hard on the driftwood where I was sitting.  As my right hand closed around it, I looked down and saw it was a small flat stone about the size of a ten-cent piece, dark grey in colour.  My eyes were drawn to another almost identical stone of light colour that was close to my left foot.  Both stones glowed in the half light with a pale green light not dissimilar to phosphorescence.  I bent down and picked up the one at my feet.

 

I knew immediately that these were no ordinary stones.  As I held them in my hands they came alive and their pulsing was so strong that I could feel the vibration right up through my arms to my shoulders.  As the twin vibrations met in my heart chakra that first time, I experienced a feeling of love that defied description.  I was merged with the infinity of all that is, and my heart chakra seemed to explode in a mass of golden light.   It was obvious that the light of the sunset had cleansed me in preparation for what was to happen.

 

Holding the stones, I felt the gentle pressure of two large hands holding mine, in fact enclosing my hands, and the stones.  These hands were decidedly male and the energies were masculine.  The voice I heard in my mind was deep but reassuring.  I was confused, as I heard the voice but not the sound.  Silently I reached out to the energy.  He repeated what he had said.  This time I heard his voice, “It is I Rua and you are Rongomaiwhetu.

 

I searched my memories.  At times such as this C.P. turns pages in my mind (that is the only way I can describe it).  “Rua Rua” the echo reverberated. I clung to the edge of the name and got Lemuria.  The voice came again.  “Kohi, you may call me Kohi in this incarnation.”

 

I knew instinctively that the name was Maori, and as my emotional chakra settled down I could feel his warrior energies flowing through me.  I made myself stand up, still clutching the stones.  There was a slight pressure as he squeezed my hands.  “Ki/Rere,” he whispered, “my gift to you and to the world with my loving thanks for what has been.”

 

I made my way back to the car in a daze, slipping in and out of synchronicity with time.  As I walked I could feel this warrior energy walking with me.  I had always been able to keep C.P. outside myself as it were, but Kohi had somehow got through the barrier.  It was different but not uncomfortable.  I reached out to C.P. and he was calm.  This was helpful to me, as I knew that C.P. protected me and I reasoned that if he was not worried then I should relax and go with the flow, however disconcerting and unusual.

 

I had been holding the Ki/Rere stones so tightly that as I tried to open my hands my fingers wouldn’t open.  As finally they relaxed I looked at the two stones on my palms.

 

There was a slight pressure on my right hand and I heard the world “Male” whispered.  I felt soft pressure on my left hand, and another whisper, “Female”.  Looking at the stones in the dim light of the car, I could see that they no longer glowed as they had done.  The female was in this case slightly lighter in colour than the male with a distinctive lighter vibration.  The male was a very strong energy, however, so it was hard to know where Kohi’s energy ended and the Ki/Rere began.

 

I shut my eyes and gave myself to the energies, mentally dissolving the barriers of my rational mind.  I felt I was in a great waka (canoe) being swept along with the strong swift oar strokes of many warriors.  I could hear melodic chanting and felt the night breeze on my face.  A name repeated itself again and again, and I had it on my lips when I came back to the real world, “Te Turaki”.

 

I found I could relate well to Kohi and soon was quite comfortable with his presence.   He was very different from C.P. and his energy was very powerful.  I really had to stand my ground with him on several occasions when instead of giving me free will to make decisions, as guides should do, he would almost demand that I did his bidding.  Again I was grateful for the time I had spent with C.P. and the things he had taught me which had made me aware that guides are there to guide, not insist. 

 

When I channel C.P. I use my right hand to hold my left wrist.  I don’t know why, but it seems to open a channel and make communication easier.   With Kohi, he holds my left hand while he talks to communicate with me and his strong energy is no longer as forceful as it first was.  He refers to himself as a peaceful warrior;  “Wearing my feather down for you Rongo-mai-whetu,” he laughs.

 

I asked Kohi about Te Turaki.  He told me that this was the name that the great Maori chief Te Kooti chose to be called while he was on the earth.  He also told me that he had been Te Turaki’s spiritual son Rua in another incarnation.  Kohi likens himself to the feminine or Goddess side that all males possess, an important aspect that many in this day and age refuse to address.  The more powerful the warrior is, the more he must be aware that feminine balance is necessary for his earth walk..

 

Making contact with Kohi/Rua again was a wonderful experience and in the beginning I must admit it was easier to meet with him using the connection of old contact.  Hutaar (Kohi) informed me that I had been his teacher in Lemuria where he had been a prophet and seer to the people.  We have not yet explored that aspect fully; but I can see pictures of that time spent within temples, contented and happy, and for now that is enough.

 

The picture of Lemuria that Hutaar (Kohi) imprinted on my mind was of a land not unlike Aotearoa.  In fact, the Lemurian continent was situated here in the South Pacific Ocean and part of it was attached to the East Coast of New Zealand.  Kohi talks of Mt. Hikirangi as being a holy mountain.  He tells me that Hikirangi was actually much taller in Lemurian times and that the mountains Mangapohatu and Hikirangi are both linked by mystical spiritual energies of Lemuria.  Kohi’s energies came to me at a time that in retrospect was probably the lowest point in my life, and because I know that nothing happens accidentally, I am aware that the events leading up to his coming were no accident and were divinely inspired.  It has therefore been easier than it might have been to forgive those who set out to destroy me at that time.

 

Had it not been for the actions of those intent on separating Merlin and myself from the work we do, and each other, I should probably never have thought of moving to Gisborne in the first place, so looking back I realize that rather than this incident being the terrible event that it appeared to be at the time, it was in some way divinely inspired by the intricate dance of karma that we are all involved in.  When the investigation into the Saffron Centre Trust started, we decided immediately to move back from the running of it to avoid breaking the law in any way.

 

I literally awoke one morning and announced that we should move to Gisborne.  I know now that this was the inner prompting of spirit and not really my idea.  I do love the way Spirit lets us think that we decide our future, when from where I sit, I see we are divinely guided.

 

Merlin and I had visited Gisborne the previous Christmas, so we had some knowledge of the area.  I am now sure that Kohi had a large influence on my decision to go there.  Like C.P. before him, Kohi gave me the knowledge and information as I was ready to receive it, helped I feel by the fact that racial prejudice has never played a part in my life so I was therefore open to the universal energies in whatever form they present themselves.

 

First of all, Kohi spoke of Lemuria and his life as Hutaar the seer.  A prophet of good standing and great power. Hutaar (his words) was responsible for the health, wealth and well being of all Lemuria.  This was no easy task when you consider that Lemuria was a continent the size of America, so the extent of his influence and power was immense.  As Maadu, I was his teacher and taught him all he knew.

 

  Hutaar had more power than the ruler of Lemuria and since (as a Tohoonu or Tohunga) he consulted with the Gods, he was responsible for all of the ruler’s decisions.  At the time of Hutaar the ruler was a man of small brain and very little wit (again Hutaar’s words).  He ruled with an iron hand, was very warlike and insisted on intense loyalty from his subjects.  Kohi talks of his dear friend, also a priest and seer, who during his Lemurian incarnation was known as Sulamaan.  This very close friend of Kohi was known to him as Titoki during the Rua incarnation and Merlin in this one.  Kohi says that I was a male during the Lemurian times and that my name was Maadu.  This made sense of a type of energy that I channeled information about in 1992 that Copernicus said would be useful to the world.  In the same style as Feng Shui Kohi says it is for the west and Feng Shui for the East.

 

The whole matter of Maadu energy is something else that I have “put on the back burner” and will endeavor to share in time to come.
