Quote
A concentration of thought upon the personal individual, seeking personal rather than spiritual freedom, is the way which leads downward. The pathway of self is the pathway to ever deeper realms and spheres of matter, until finally annihilation comes at the end of the cosmic cycle, when matter itself dissolves: maya, as matter, is illusion.

Aspire; cultivate your higher faculties. Beware of the glamorous lights of the lower nature, and particularly of the lower intermediate nature which is called the psychical. There is nothing so deceptive as the false lights of maya. Often fine-looking flowers contain deadly poison either in bud or in thorn or in both. The honey thereof is death-dealing, bringing death to the human soul. Seek first your own spiritual and intellectual powers; bathe in the light of your own spiritual nature so that you shall have vision and will power; and then these other faculties will grow in you naturally, evenly, properly, easily.

The law of laws of the universe is self-forgetfulness, not concentration of attention upon one's personal freedom, not even upon your individuality. The primal law of the universe is living unto all things, not the doctrine that each must live for himself in order to develop for himself the spiritual powers within. The latter is true enough as a bald and imperfect statement; but it is also misleading, dangerous, unwise, and therefore unholy as a statement of esoteric training, unless properly qualified -- always qualified with the accompanying doctrine: Give up thy life if thou wouldst find it. Live to benefit mankind, for this is the first step. If you will have the sun, then leave the earth and its clouds.

The great heresy and the only real heresy is the idea that anything is separate, distinct, and different essentially, from other things. That is a wandering from natural fact and law, for nature is nothing but coordination, cooperation, mutual helpfulness; and the rule of fundamental unity is perfectly universal: everything in the universe lives for everything else.

It is this sense of separateness that is the cause and root of all evil. It brings forth the craving for me: I want, I am, mine. And it is the sense of personal separateness, imagining that one is utterly separate from all others, utterly different, that prevents one from becoming that inner god within. For by becoming that inner god you become consciously at one with the universe of which you are a child, an inseparable part; and that means drawing upon strength inexhaustible, wisdom without compass, drinking at the fountains of inspiration which flow from the heart of the universe. Every one is rooted in the common fountain of the cosmic life-intelligence-substance.

"The great heresy and the only real heresy is the idea that anything is separate, distinct, and different essentially, from other things"


Bred, this is utterly beautiful truth to I!
I wish to always live I life by this code....Please Jah!!!!!I have felt the fullness of this Reality!!May I neva forget our inherent Oneness!!!!!
Praise be to all the Blessed Idren who will settle for nothing less than The Wholly freeing yet great responsibility of Truth
Yes I Know I am never alone and supported by Universal Love and All who dwell within that love so I can love and give freely to those in need!!!!!!
I Love the yin and the Yang, the Black and the white, for both are halves of one whole, and don't get trapped into thinking I am glorifying negro people, it is way bigger than that!!!!!
Humans of every race live in Higher nature or lower nature so lets not be under any false impressions.
But if we choose Rasta, RASPECT for whence that Reality comes from is the order of the day in my book.
Lions we may be but the humility of the Lamb should not be forgotten, in I sight....
A balance is where its at for I and I
Blessed Brother Nevoe, You have made I happy......I love to be of service, so thanks for tha thanks.....it is medicine for I soul.....
One Love Idren

"When all have learned the high laws of Black Supremacy everyman shall be responsible for his own vine and fig tree, and we will all live peacefully under the laws of His Majesty!! World citizenship and International Morality shall be the words of the day, and love, love, love shall be the highest Irie"-Mystic Vision

First you will have to change the language and CON everyone into believing the cover up..I mean the idea is nice but I WILL NEVER UNITE NOR MY CHILDREN OR THEIR CHILDREN under such a racily based term....

Ok Bredda,
at risk of being accused of "word games" by asking the I a simple question....
no pressure to answer as I don't want the I to feel 'forced" in any way....
Is the I more comfortable with whats know as in some "spiritual" circles as the "Great White Brotherhood"?
Apparently there are Ascended Beings, working in the Higher planes for the benefit of Humanity who were once known as The Brotherhood of the Great White Light......
Does the I have the same Knee jerking reaction to reference to that?
I just wondered if is just the "Black" thing that's offensive or is it reference to any colour or  non-colour as technically black and White aren't even colours...is it "culture" thats a problem? culture primarily lived by non-white peoples? Or does the I feel some kind of shame regarding colour of skin or colour talk?
Or is the I offended at people wanting distinct and/or positive racial Identity within RastaFarI?
I mean if any people have a right to explore racial Identity within Rasta I would think that His Majesty blessed that and had the concerns of His African people truly at heart...for He manifested Himself in that Form, yes I know he was fully human too and was born like all of us, But I got the distinct impression that he was very concerned with the plight of Africans throughout the world...so why do they not have a right to explore use of the English language in a positive light for themselves?
And why does the I rubbish the perspectives of others and ignore the many and heartical positive offerings here?
Just curious

Ah i see well you came across in a very LEADING THE WITNESS sort of fashion.But now you cleared that up [lol] its OK. Well still the presumptuous almost judgmental nature left over but again OK i don't feel no way!

Again thanks for the enlightening lesson into the color spectrum perhaps you would care to comment on a book i once read written by J . ITTEN ? Well maybe in another thread!

is it "culture" that's a problem? culture primarily lived by non-white peoples?
I think it is more of a problem for you than me, personally i don't see that many differences between African culture especially the Africa of today.. Mind you that of yesteryear doest differ to the west of yesteryear in fact thinking about it, they lay even closer together than one really imagines.So why do you seem to harbour all these divisions ? As you brought HIM into it I KNOW HIM WAS CERTAINLY NOT PROMOTING THAT. !!

Quote
I mean if any people have a right to explore racial Identity
True enough explore away is what i would say without which there wouldn't be any progression in anything.Not that i am saying we should progress on all plains ! mind you!
BUT changing the meaning of words isn't in my opinion  a form of EXPLORATION so not really in this case a valid argument is it.
Further more has nothing to do with ,exploration that is,COVERING UP foundation beliefs, hiding what basically racist is! Look i have no problems with a bit of REVERSE psychology, but please when you get caught out at least show a bit of honor and ADMIT TO THAT.
Yes i know from what you have written IT SUITS YOUR PURPOSE........

I was describing your action in the form of written words, i do not assume to know your feelings, that is why I ask questions, to gauge where the I is coming from.
I did not think we as a group have come to any conclusions regarding the words, collectively, theis thread seemed to be created to find if there was any collective meaning, evidently there is much confusion and reactiveness regarding these words, and we were talking about the concept in a Rasta context, not in African city context, where African people struggle with western influences, often to their detriment, which is expressed in the speeches of His Majesty, does the I want quotes from His Majesty?
Yes and I do know African people kill each other and have the same vices as non-African, but I know of few western women who can intuit when their baby will urine, and few western people who could even survive the harsh conditions that many "non-white" and african people endure daily....still to this day, without losing their sanity, so I feel some compassion and some curiosity, certainly not judgementalness as the I seems to elude to.

Sorry I did get a bit carried away, I admit to having the vice of asking pointed questions, and I'm not trying to be judgemental, I'm trying to overstand your perspective.

Sorry bro, i haven't read that book, maybe If I had, I would overstand the I more, why don't you enlighten me? I'm probably just as confused as anyone about this colour/race/skin/culture stuff.

What did he not promote?
i think he supported people right to explore their cultural identity, for I think he knew that a people who know who they are culturally, will be able to transcend that when appropriate, for the sake of unity and peace.

Yes i know from what you have written IT SUITS YOUR PURPOSE........
I feel that words will always be limited by the consciousness of the people saying them, and , as people evolve, the meaning of words expands, it is simply consciousness expanding its reference of meaning and it is just as individual as it is collectively agreed upon.
What is the I trying to get I to admit? clarify please.
I believe in supremacy of consciousness, and yes, I do think people of colour show more development in that regard collectively, planetarily, so I give credit where credit is due, despite the fact that most of my "white" Idren havent a clue why I raspect "Black" and "non-white" cultures so much.
We as a planet of being have been heading in the predominately "white" "male" testosterone driven direction which is clearly detrimental to huge numbers of humans, animals, plants, water and even the planet itself so Yes, why don't we try the "Black" way a bit more, and by "Black" of course I mean enlightened "Black" and not the extreme desperation brought on by poverty, exploitation and other forms of de-moralization which causes some "Black" men to kill, abuse and "give Up" in so many ways.
I hope this clarifies my perspective bro, maybe we can progress out of this word mess and start the real work of community building, and peace, sustainablity and prosperity creation so sorely needed.
If some people within the rasta movement have expressed dissatisfation with this "white" culture, I feel they can be forgiven, due to the extreme treatment of lack of love and yes "rasicm" they and there ancestors were subjected too by predominately "white" people. I am not excusing it, but I think it is overstandable. I do however reserve the right pull any "non-white" man up when I feel womens right are being violated, or childrens, just as I would "white men", I am not saying "black" is perfect, but I don't think we, as a collective have really tried to overstand "black" "brown" "red" or any other coloured culture of enlightened living, with raspect and openmindedness,

No, simple observation, I have seen very little  positive feedback from the I, most of your posts seem to be one tracked and objectional.
I have written you off tho, I don't presume to know the I well enuff to do that, however it would be nice to see if there is some things you DO agree with here.
I find building on things we share in common a community building approach, and being openminded about our differences helpfull.
as for a "master Plan" that would be pretty much the same as most people, I want a future for all children, a sustainable lifestyle, the freedom to be myself in safety and some friends who inspire and stimulate me and who I do the same for, oh and a sanctuary where I can bounce Ideas around with loving, intelligent people, maybe even collectively solve a few problems that plague so many and help some people.

At the moment the sistren, Nya wrote the above post, she was -at that moment- a counter-racist. At that moment and within the above post she is practicing counter-racism, VOLUNTARILY!

The above quote brought a smile to InI face, a smile that remains still, at this very moment.

Again, you have expressed I inner most feelings, and at the risk of being annoying, THANKS AGAIN!

JAH BLESSINGS are INFINITE, I and I a tell dem seh.

P.S. If the I don't mind, I would like to leave the I with the definition of  "Counter-Racist" and "Counter-Racism".

Counter-Racism     =
(1)   Any speech and/or action that helps to eliminate Racism (White Supremacy).
(2)   Any speech and/or action that helps to  promote justice and correctness.
(3)   The revelation and/or the use of truth in such manner that justice and correctness is promoted or produced

[Note:     The “authors”, and/or “cause” of any  Counter-Racist speech and/or action is  always       
                   the Racists themselves.

                   The law of Compensation [balance/justice] works in such manner that the opposition
                   to Racism is caused by the very existence of Racism.

                   Counter-Racism exists because Racism (White Supremacy) has  no
                   justifiable reason
to exist.               

                   People who practice Racism are, at the same time “sowing the seeds” of
                   Counter-Racism, thus causing the ultimate elimination of themselves as
                   Racists].

Counter-Racist     =
(1)   A person who may, or may not, be a Victim of Racism (non-white person), and who speaks,
             and/or acts, to eliminate Racism (White Supremacy).     
(2)   A person who speaks and/or acts in a manner that helps to promote justice


BLESSINGS!

Ras Nevoe

Bless Up Family

InI will end InI's participation in this thread by making a final statement. 

Though there are some who awaits an opportunity like this one to outright attack others' opinions, for the most part we were able to get this topic out into the open again.  Many have accused Ras Nevoe of practicing a form of 'Black Supremacy' and even went so far as to conclude that the Idren is a racist.  In that accusation InI have to disagree.  Not many are willing or indeed able to bring a topic of 'White Supremacy' or indeed the Icept of 'Black Ipremacy' into the open with an Overstanding of the past, nor the present, which in fact forms the basis for such discussions and realities. 

Although this thread was NOT intended to place the "Black Race' above the 'White Race', it was forced into that reality anyway.  InI took a moment to step aside and allow the Rastas here to come to their own points of Reasoning as unnecessary disputes were beginning and at times Silence speaks much Louder than words. 

For some 'Black Supremacy' is simply an Illusion.  For many others it is indeed a Reality.  It comes down to just how much one Overstands of the plight of the Black Man, Wombman and Child as Idren Ras Nevoe has been attempting to bring forward for many months.  Anytime the issue of Race is confronted in any manner there tends to be unleashed Anger from both sides.  On the side of 'White' society it is due in part to feelings of shame and guilt as well as loss of power.  On the side of Blacks it is usually due to consistent Mis-Overstanding of where they have been and in many cases still forced to be in currently.  Regardless of what the reactions are/is the fact remains that RastaFari was/is rooted in Blackness. THERE IS NO SHAME IN THAT. RasTafari was/is for the upliftment and betterment of the Blackman, wombman and child.  The fact also is that RasTafari has Grown much since the foundations were laid to now include people of all shades and colours and will Itinue to get Stronger and Wiser as time Progresses.  That does NOT change the facts of what was, nor what still should be.

Ipremacy to the Blackman has always been about RECLAIMING what was/is rightfully his.  In an unfair world it is not always possible to accomplish this without causing hard feelings.  However, Ipremacy based on UPLIFTMENT, RECONCILLIATION, RECONSTRUCTION, REBUILDING, REBIRTH, TRUTH, JUSTICE and EQUALITY can NEVER be compared to Supremacy based on HATRED, POWER, CONTROL, JEALOUSLY and SELFISHNESS.  In that regards there IS NO SUCH COMPARISION and NEVER will be. 

In order for EQUALITY to be truly given to the Blackman, first acknowledgement of the circumstances that brought the Blackman to this state in Istory must be Confronted and Reconcilliation Must take place.  When a crime is committed the guilty party has to pay the penalty of that crime before Justice can be said to be had.  There Is no crime that the Blackman has committed against the Whiteman and as such the Blackman has no penalty to pay for standing up for his rights and the rights of his Black Family.  There are many documented crimes that was/is committed against the Blackman by White society and as such, until the penalty for those crimes are paid there will Itinue to be hard feelings among the races to some degree. 

On another note, there has been many strides made for the progression of Race Relations and many White members of society has stepped forward and attempted to do their parts in correcting the wrongs done to the Blackman.  These are the members of White society that will ensure that our future, both White and Black, will be progressively better than our past has been.  None of us are perfect, but it is in making these Baby steps towards Change and Correction that Jah's world will once again be beautiful for ALL mankind regardless of race or colour.

May Jah Itinue to give us strength and the Irit of Discernment to know Right from Wrong.  Regardless of the few that find it enjoyable to create chaos when Reasoning is in progress, there are Many more who have the Wisdom, the knowledge and the foresight to know better and will Itinue to Move forward as H.I.M. taught us through his example. 

Nuff Love

Ps. after much thought about this subject and the words used, especially the word "supremacy" I think I agree with the I when Yah said we should drop the "supremacy" word as it has been too tainted and misoverstood in this context.....
Just I humble Ipinion, what are Ites thought on this matter?
Some things need to go for the sake of peace, clarity and  unity.
Love to yah all


I agree..........we should drop those words, but the concept must remain, so what word(s) will we use to refer to the Icept  "Black Supremacy" that reveals it's true definition. On that same note we need to give "black supremacy" the words, it's proper definition, which is, the subjugation of white people, by non-white people.

Blessings!!!

InI will end InI's participation in this thread by making a final statement. 

Many have accused Ras Nevoe of practicing a form of 'Black Supremacy' and even went so far as to conclude that the Idren is a racist.  In that accusation InI have to disagree.  Not many are willing or indeed able to bring a topic of 'White Supremacy' or indeed the Icept of 'Black Ipremacy' into the open with an Overstanding of the past, nor the present, which in fact forms the basis for such discussions and realities..................... 



.............For some 'Black Supremacy' is simply an Illusion.  For many others it is indeed a Reality.  It comes down to just how much one Overstands of the plight of the Black Man, Wombman and Child as Idren Ras Nevoe has been attempting to bring forward for many months.  Anytime the issue of Race is confronted in any manner there tends to be unleashed Anger from both sides.  On the side of 'White' society it is due in part to feelings of shame and guilt as well as loss of power.  On the side of Blacks it is usually due to consistent Mis-Overstanding of where they have been and in many cases still forced to be in currently.  Regardless of what the reactions are/is the fact remains that RastaFari was/is rooted in Blackness. THERE IS NO SHAME IN THAT. RasTafari was/is for the upliftment and betterment of the Blackman, wombman and child.  The fact also is that RasTafari has Grown much since the foundations were laid to now include people of all shades and colours and will Itinue to get Stronger and Wiser as time Progresses.  That does NOT change the facts of what was, nor what still should be............

That's actually one of the first Scripture verse InI's Grandmother had InI memorize at an early childhood age. 

It is InI's personal experience that Today's "two-edged sword" is something that "cuts both ways" and is as harmful as helpful.
The phrase was originally coined by William Tyndale in 1526 as he translated the New Testament epistles, specifically Hebrews 4: 12: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword."

JahJah's Itinued Strength an Guidance in the I's work, both Physically as well as Iritually.  It certainly is a heavy burden to freely carry attempting to deliver Truth in the Capacity the I is currently managing.
