UNITY UNDER OUR GOD

In days gone by our ancestors roamed this land paying homage to our God Baiame and the great ancestrial spirits of our tribes, in ways undisturbed for thousands and thousands of years.This was the infancy of our peoples.

Then just over 200 years ago, the white strangers came to our land, the white missionaries scorned us for being what we were and sought to change us into what they wanted us to be. They took our children away from us so they could not be taught the ancient ways of our ancestors, and punished us if we went against their will.

But some of us were strong and kept our Aboriginality alive. We saw the conflicting beliefs of foreigners, Christians- Buddhist-Muhammadans,and we said to ourselves. We will keep the flame of our own God Baiame burning, for we are true Aboriginals, we are the Goori people who honour our ancestors. We are the strong who will not weaken before alien Gods, and we saw a great civilisation spring up around us, and all those things we held sacred trampled underfoot in the name of an alien God and we were confused.

This was our growing pains. Let none of you complain that your sacred sites have been desicrated. If you are not a true follower of Baiame, for your words will be false, for you have given your-selves over to an alien God. In this you have no right to claim those things which we and our ancestors held sacred.

We have learned to live in harmony with our white brothers, for we have grown up as a people, but don't let that fool you into thinking that we will renounce our God, the God of the forefathers, the Overlord of this Island continent. For we are true Goori people, and ask that the God of our ancestors be respected. How can any ask us to respect them, if they do not respect us?

We are the children of Baiame, we are black, we ask all Goori people, who will stand for the God of our ancestors, Baiame? Let them stand forward if they are true Goori, and we shall find unity and purpose under our own true God.

Inner YearningsWe knew the spiritual path we had to treadWith inner feelings of what lay aheadThen the stranger came and led us astrayNow we are spiritually lost and can't find our way The ancient things our Fathers knewAre preserved by only just a fewDeep inside our spirits cryLike a flower we fade and dieLet us search out the things we understandWhich was once the spirit of this land.Eternally Yours NurunderiPut out by: Baime Cultural & Spiritual Research; c/o [email protected] (ABN 44615835484.)

Universe1.The universe is eternal and its bounds are limitless, and within the universe is intelligence,and this eternal intelligence that manifests itself as all living things, both temporal and spiritual, we call God.2.God is life. God is the movement of all things, God is the spirit of the Universe3.That which is temporal and spiritual, and that which cannot retain the spiritual, becomes temporal again, thus everything is a never ending cycle of matter and intelligent energies. 4.This eternal intelligence that manifests itself in all living things, is THE SUPREME GOD.5.Temporal man becomes spiritual man and as spiritual man moves nearer to the central cause increasing in his understanding and power,he becomes an individual god.6.To Goori people, BAIAME is the first and foremost Goori god. 7.Through BAIAME the power of the SUPREME GOD flows in strength, thus he becomes one of the embodiments of SUPREME GOD.8.Through BAIAME we pay homage to the SUPREME GOD.9.The beginnings of the Goori people is BAIAME who is the intermediary between his people and spiritual force of the SUPREME GOD.10.BAIME is overlord of the land of Pamanyungan, and the motivating spirit of the Goori race.11.The planet KOBAH shifted slightly off its axis and the land of DIBAH BUDDEH became colder and colder as it moved towards the south pole.12.The mountains became covered with frozen rain, turning them into glaciers and ice and snow covered the land.13.All life struggled hard to survive until at last the land lay silent in utter darkness, asleep, awaiting the warmth and light of the sun to bring it to life again.14.The Old Ones had carved their history, and the laws given to their ancestors by the great teacher ARUNGA, upon the rocks, but the Old Ones had left the land of DIBAH BUDDEH for the warmer climates of the north, and all lay buried beneath ice and snow.15.As time went by, slowly the planet KOBAH began to right itself upon its axis and great fires from beneath the surface began to burst forth, forming volcanoes, causing floods across the low lands.16.YAHI, the spirit of the sun, moved across the land giving warmth and life to the seeds that had laid dormant beneath the snow and ice, and the land awoke from its long sleep.17.The spirit of Baiame moved towards the earth, and it was then that the spirits of MANIDJIRANGAMAD became born into the land and named it PAMANYUNGAN.18.In the centre the primal cause of re-creation was YAHI a goddess of the sun.19.Not the sun itself, but a spirit of the sun, the great mother spirit, richly endowed and prolific but yet spirit, whose power was manifested in thought and through other agencies, in action.

20.The agency through which she worked before her departure was one known variously as BAIAME, SPIRIT FATHER or ALL FATHER.21.BAIAME, the male counterpart of the female YAHI the sun goddess, was not only her representative, but as her alter ego, partaking of her divinity.22.To him she had entrusted the task of forming and caring for all animal life of the land, in its infinite variety.23.The form and intelligence of Goori people, was also entrusted to the Father spirit, who felt his responsibility keenly and determined to proceed cautiously by imparting his superior element into his charges, thus they were formed in the image of his own eternity.24.The Father Spirit BAIAME shared his creative force with his brother spirits, BUNJEL, KARORA, NOORALIE, and MUNGAN-NGOUR and from these came the tribes of PAMANYUNGAN- (AUSTRALIA).

YAHIFrom the centre of the primal causeWe came into being of by the spirit of the sun,Who's power was manifest through other agenciesUnder the eyes of the mighty one.And she stood back and surveyed the land And placed it under Baiames hand.Eternally Yours Nurunderi
