BIBLE VERSES

VAIRAUMATI, DAUGHTER OF MAN

A symbol of faith or sense of dependence upon the Higher.

"The two brothers of Oro searched through the whole of the islands from Tahiti to Borabora but saw no one that they supposed fit to become the wife of Oro, till they came to Borabora, here, residing near the foot of the red-ridged mountain, they saw Vairaumati. When they beheld her, they said one to the other, This is the excellent maiden for our brother.'" - ELLIS Polynesian Researches Vol I p 231

The manifesting Self in its aspects of Will and Wisdom is said to go forth from Itself to the lower planes whereon to seek for its evolving counterpart and at length among the lower emotions. It finds Faith, which is a perception of the spiritual nature which is coming in course of evolution. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proving of things not seen" HEB xi 1. This intuition of Truth is to be the means by which aspiration is to raise the lower self. The "red-ridged mountain" symbolises the aspirations which rise from the struggling lower nature. When Wisdom, Will, and Action are united to Faith, then is perceived the application and need of Faith in the soul to the end of the life cycle.
