Cosmos

The Maori look at the world in a different view people would never imagine. It's known as "the cycle of the sun". As the rise of the sun makes across the sky, and its setting in the west is described as a cosmic mystery. Because of this cycle is repeated every day, the traditional maori is considered it the basic principle of the world. The sun represents the birth and growth of mana, which means power in the world. The birth, rise and death of the sun came to be the primary model for all existence. All life should be given expression with this certain kind of cycle. Maori culture  has a speaker called the "orator". The orator gives a speech which the words mean that the world is constantly emerging from darkness into light. This speech is considered to be a re-enactment of Tane (the father oh humankind) separating earth and sky, in other words how light came into the world. His two parents, Papatuanuku (the earth mother) and Ranginui (the sky father) when Tane separated these two the sun was able to shine into the world. If the orator's words became to give Maoris guidance and wisdom he has given them the exit out of the "night" and right into the "day", giving them at peace. This only happens when mana (a spiritual force) enters a person. In other words, as the sun brings another day to the culture.
