Permalink The Rastafarian movement began in Jamaica in the 1940’s. It began as a rebel movement against the oppression and exploitation of colonialism. Rastas reject European social standards. They see whites as oppressors, the ones who introduced slavery to the Caribbean. They were the ones who dragged their forefathers across a continent and enslaved them. After slavery whites remained the rulers and continued their oppression and exploitation of the black race. Its founder Leonard Howell was an ardent supporter of Garvey and his philosophies and program. He was especially attracted to the teachings regarding Africa being the homeland of all Africans, the back to Africa movement and the idea of blacks worshipping a black divine being. They also preached racial pride and dignity. They proclaimed Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia as god. The fact that he is from the lineage of David and was crowned with the title king of kings and lords of lords seemed to confirm Garvey’s prophecy that Africans should look for a black god. According to Rastafarians this fits in also with prophecies from the Bible. They follow a strict code of conduct with regards to diet and dress. They do not eat pork. They consider the pig to be an unclean animal. They are mostly vegetarians. A few eat fish. They eat strictly ital, which means that their food is cooked or prepared without salt. They believe that all herbs and trees are given for food and healing. They constructed their own language. They greet each other with the term ‘blessed love’. They refer to themselves as I and I. the word ‘irie’ is originally theirs. They dress in the colors of Marcus Garvey: red, green and gold. They are fully clad from head to toe and usually wear sandals that they make. They sport a dreadlock which means that they wear their hair matted and uncombed. They are supposed to look fierce and lion like. Members of the upper class in particular began to spread propaganda against the Rastafarians claiming that they were untidy and even smelly. They engaged in growing provisions, corn, cassava, yam and fruits and vegetables: chiefly for their own use. They also made brooms, mats and other craft items which they sell for a living. They are famous also for their music. The beating of drums and the chanting of their god’s name: Jah Rastafari accompanied by the titles, ever living, ever faithful and ever sure scared quite a few children. They smoked ganja as part of their religious rituals. Their pipes which they also made were called chalice. They were ostracized by the society in general. The Christian community found their doctrines blasphemous. The colonial authorities saw them as dangerous. They were heavily persecuted and hunted down like common criminals. On the orders of those in charge, police raided their settlements, beat the men and carried them off to jail frequently on the charge of being disorderly.   It is no wonder then that the Rastafarians called the police Babylon. This term is also loosely applied to anything that the white man is said to have created or is a part of. This includes the King James Version of the Bible. The Rastafarians use the Maccabees version instead. They read and study their Bible in depth. The parents of upper and middle class children feared for their daughters and sons. They feared that their daughters would fall in love with a Rasta and be carried off into the hills to become his queen and have his children. Rastas do not believe in the sacrament of marriage. They believe that once you take a woman unto yourself and call her queen that’s it. They do NOT believe in contraception either. They see it as a plot to ‘kill out black people’.

All is in Divine Order

I know that there is a power far greater than myself, that flows through me everyday.

I am able to open myself to this power and receive what I need, whenever I choose.

This is true of everyone. It is safe to look within for the answers.

If things aren’t going the way you expect in some areas of your life, it doesn’t mean that you are bad, or wrong. It just means that you are being redirected by Divine Guidance.

When this happens, find a quiet place to sit and connect with the Intelligence within you.

Whatever you need to know will be revealed in the proper time/space sequence.

Permalink Hopefully many of us know that sugar is a classified drug. I’m not gonna preach about why you shouldn’t consume sugar because I know we both already know the reasons. I just want you to think about how much sugar you are giving your kids if you have any. Many of the cereals that are marketed towards our children are packed with sugar. Their tiny bodies cannot handle/do not need all/any of that sugar. If you want to poison yourself, you have that right . Just think about our future generation, cus right now, they are really looking bad. Wake up people. Visit the link to read about the reclassification of sugar as a drug.

N.E.R.D.

Optics is the study of Electromagnetic Radiation, and it’s manipulation and behavior in various mediums. Electromagnetic Radiation is essentially Light in various forms, whether it is visible light, infrared, radio, ultraviolet, microwave, x-ray, and various other forms of radiation of varying frequencies.

The Full Range of Frequencies of Light represents the Fullness of Allah or the Black Man, in his Mathematical Form. Light is Energy, and therefore Eternal, since Energy is neither made nor destroyed, but transformed from one medium to another.

In reality, the Original Man’s form or Original Form is electromagnetic fields. It is PHYSCIAL, even though it does not have a rest mass, because we are never at rest [dead] or have ever experienced a REAL DEATH other than a mental death, via being BLOCKED from matter.

No one Ever Really Dies.

we are not separate from nature.

we need to wake up and realize that we do not own nature, we are stewards of nature, and we need to listen to the message that nature is telling us.

We cannot continue to exploit nature.
