OF THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE IS NO END...."

Rastafari Liveth

Yes Bedrin,

Iman was thinking maybe the I should toss it up concerning what other  choose to believe even under the umbrella of RastafarI Religion. It  can be term as a religion when it happens that a group of idren  subscribe into a kind of mind set erected in the tenets of dogma or  beliefs. Despite of the unpopular fact that many of us refer Rastafari by its  qualitative being as the path; and a way of self consecration toward   a unified Truth of Being and a way to live which is Rooted into  deep harmony to the Iration and especially the way we respond  to one another, InI, in One Love and One People, Jah People. As Idren seeking for Zion, tuning into guidence of the Most I  intelligence to lead us into the victory from soul captivity and  Babylon and so toward Transdental Reality, which is our father's  land, our mother's kingdom and that we are assured it lives in InI  as holy ghost which gives us strength to conquer the lower passions  tied to all the wickedness and sufferings imposed to our original  sin of Ignorance to recognise that JAH lives! And Lo! Shim lives in  I, One and One, All and the WHOLE. Jah is not kinda  end goal, and  shim is not the end, neither the beginning. Therefore  Shim is the eternal recurrence of the rhythms of Life. The  Beginning and the End, Alpha and Omega.

Our cherished acquitance with Rastafari lies in faith in the Most  One JAH. And it lives up in us by the quality of Love that sustain  all the creation and beatify the whole Iration with the sweet  feeling of hidden harmony and unbounded joyful existence in which  we what we are, so is everything. That love is the warmth that give  heat for the creation to grow and become more of what it has ever  been. So for I n I to have the invitation to be more of what always  believe to be from what we see which swiftly passby all the time.  Jah is Love, the qualitative implication. It is the music that,  give thanks, we can tune into and have the glimpse of divine  intoxication. And everythime we quench InI thirst with that, we  feel uncaused Joy and Praise the most I.

All philosophical backgrounds may mean an err of missing the chance  to dance. So the most important part of Rastafari is to Live LOVE  and words may imply missing the moment to be. ANd choosing belief  instead of the truth of being.

As far as houses of Rastafari are concerned, it is not vital to authentic LIVITY. For livity is the quality of living and not a standard set  on stone. Livity is RELIGIOUSNESS. If any house is set to impose a  certain belief or set of rule; it already dead. It is not flowing  river of Life. And the truth enters our mundane existence as the  factor or power to sustain our life and purpose into the infinity  mystery connecting to the whole life... Including the seen and the  unseen. We trod into the unknown as long as we live Jah, but our  purity and trust always takes InI into vast regions of  comprehension we would have never came to comprehend... And that is   the secret of the path...

This reminds InI of Sufis and the love of depicting artforms  outpicturing the Design within a Design.

"There are three pillars of Sufism. This is a NAQSHBANDI, a design,  to help you. This is a kind of map. The first is ISLAM, the second  is IMAN and the third is IHSAN.

ISLAM means surrender -- surrender of the ego, surrender of the  past, surrender of the so-called self you have come to believe you  are -- utter surrender. That is the first basic pillar. ISLAM IS a  beautiful word. It has many other meanings too, but the basic is  surrender, SAMARPAN. The second meaning of ISLAM IS peace. When one  surrenders, there is peace -- because when you surrender, all  conflict disappears. When you have surrendered to a Master or to a  school or to a certain map, you are in a great peace. Now you are  not fighting. You have found somebody you can trust. You have found  somebody who knows the way. You have found somebody who has the  light in him. You can follow. In great trust, peace arises. How can  there be conflict when trust has happened, when surrender has  happened?.

The third meaning is silence.

Peace means that now there is no more conflict in life, no more  choosing in life -- this way or that. 'Should I go this way or  that? Should I do this or that?' Once you have chosen a Master,  peace arises because now he is there to tell you what to do and  what not to do. And your commitment is total; your involvement is  utter; you need not think about it any more. You can put aside the  thinking mind. Peace comes. And silence. .Silence is another  dimension of peace.

Have you watched? Sometimes, whenever it has happened to you -- you  have surrendered in love to somebody -- suddenly there is great  silence inside. Not a thought stirs. Not a ripple arises. Outside  there may be great noise -- the traffic, the aeroplane, the train  -- but when you are in silence, suddenly even the noise of the  train and the aeroplane and the traffic has no distraction for you.  Even in them you will find silence. When you are silent, you will  find silence everywhere.
 
In love a very small surrender happens because in love you are in  love with somebody who is equal to you. It cannot be a very great  surrender. You know the woman you are surrendered to or the man you  are surrendered to, but he is just like you.

When you surrender to a Master, you are surrendering to something  which is far away and yet close by. A Master is a ladder. The first  rung is very close by and the farthest rung is very far away, high  in the skies, whispering with the clouds.

When you surrender, one part, one end, of the ladder is in your  hands and the other end of the ladder is with God. A Master is  man-god. He looks like you, exactly like you, and yet he is not  like you. He has arrived. He has found. The enquiry is no longer  there; the search is no more there. He has no desires left. All is  fulfilled.

Islam is the first pillar of Sufism -- surrender, peace, silence.
The second pillar is IMAN. IMAN means trust, faith -- not belief.  Belief is in concepts; faith is in presence. If what I say appeals  to you and you trust it, that will be belief. If what I am attracts  you like a magnet, if it pulls you like some unknown energy source,  then it is trust. When you believe in a logical statement, it is  belief; when you believe in the presence of a person, it is trust.  Trust is personal; belief is conceptual. IMAN means trust.
 
Sufis say that you cannot work alone. Without a Master it is almost  impossible. Without a Master you will be like an accidental being,  haphazardly going this way and that. You can drive yourself crazy  more easily than you can become enlightened alone -- hence IMAN is  needed, trust is needed.
 
And remember one thing: never for a single moment think, as so many  people think, that those who surrender or those who trust, are weak  people. No, not at all. Only strong people can surrender and only  strong people can trust.

Weaklings are always afraid. It is not for the cowards to trust.  Trust needs courage; trust means risk. Trust means that now you are  opening yourself to somebody totally and you don't know what is  going to happen.

He may exploit you, he may destroy you; you are becoming  vulnerable. Who knows what this man is going to do to you? You are  becoming unprotected; you are taking all guards away. You are  opening your armour for this man, and you don't know what is going  to happen. A coward, a weakling, cannot do it. So don't think for a  single moment that those who surrender are cowards or weak. No, not  at all. Just the reverse is the case: only the very strong and  powerful people can surrender. IMAN IS for those who are  courageous.

The first meaning of IMAN IS faith, trust, SHRADDHA. The second  meaning of IMAN IS religion -- not sect, but religiousness. What is  religiousness? The dissatisfaction with the visible is  religiousness -- dissatisfaction with the visible, with the  tangible; dissatisfaction with the world as it is; a discontent  with things as they are. With that discontent, with that divine  discontent, a great longing arises in you to search for truth, to  search for the meaning of life, to search for the source of life:  From where does it all come? To where does it all go? What is the  foundation of this whole mystery?

That is religiousness. It has nothing to do with any sect -- Hindu,  Mohammedan, Christian.

A religious man is a religious man -- he is not concerned with  being Hindu, Mohammedan or Christian. You can see that quality.  When you see a religious man you will not feel that he is a  Mohammedan or a Hindu or a Christian, you will simply feel that he  is religious. He has a flavour of religiousness around him. His  eyes have a shine not of this world and his heart has a beat not of  this world. He walks on the earth but his feet do not touch the  ground. He is here and not here. He is drunk with something else --  you cannot see what he is drunk with. His alcohol is not visible;  his wine is not that which can be bought in the marketplace. He has  produced a wine in his innermost core and he is drunk with it. You  will see it in the way he walks, the way he sits, the way he talks,  the way he relates and communicates. There is a

If you are available to him you may start getting high just by  being in contact with him -- a contact-high. Just because he is so  turned on, you will start feeling turned on. That is religiousness,  that is IMAN -- what Hindus call DHARMA and what Lao Tzu calls Tao  and what the Jews call TORAH. That is the most fundamental law of  religion -- to be drunk with the unknown, with the invisible; to be  drunk with something that is not of this world, not available here;  to be drunk with something penetrating from the beyond. And if you  have seen Sufis, you will be surprised -- they are the most drunk  people in the world.

And the third meaning of IMAN IS commitment, involvement -- not  only by thought but in deed too. It is a conversion, it is an  initiation. If you feel that the meaning is missing, then just by  thinking you are not going to find it. You will have to commit  yourself to it in your totality; your thoughts, your feelings, your  actions, all will have to be committed to it.
 
That's the meaning of sannyas too. It is IMAN. YOU are not only  supposed to believe in what I say, you are not only to pay  lip-service to what I say -- you have to become that, you have to  represent that, you have to bring it to aliveness in your being,  you have to live it. It should not remain a philosophical thing; it  should become your very life. Only then, and ONLY then. one arrives  -- otherwise not.

And the third thing is IHSAN. IHSAN means authenticity. sincerity.  Unless your effort is sincere, nothing is going to happen. You  cannot deceive God. You can deceive everybody, you can deceive even  yourself -- but you cannot deceive God, you cannot deceive the  whole. There is no way to do that. You have to be authentic. You  have to be true.
 
It happens every day. Somebody comes and wants to become a  sannyasin, and I look in his eyes and I look in his heart, and I  see it is not going to be authentic. He thinks, 'Why not try it? I  am here for two, three months -- I can become a sannyasin.

And then when I go back to Chicago, who bothers? I can change the  dress, put the mala away in a suitcase. If something happens, good;  if nothing happens, nothing is lost. Why not give it a try?'
If you give it a try, nothing is going to happen. Nothing is going  to happen because you are not in it. Something is possible only  when you are really in it, when you are ready to sacrifice  everything to it -- your prestige, your name, and everything.
 
Just the other night a sannyasin was here. She is really interested  in finding out the meaning of life. She has been a sannyasin for  one year but she has not used her new name at all. Now she started  feeling a little guilty. She told me, 'I have not used the new name  at all.' It is not a question of names. If you are not totally in  it, then things will not happen, and when they don't happen you  will think, 'What was the point of taking sannyas? Drop it, because  nothing is happening.' And it is you who are responsible. Things  can happen only when you are totally in it, when it is a  life-and-death thing.
 
When the name I have given to you becomes your reality, when the  way I have told you to live and be, becomes your only way, then  things are going to happen, then nobody can prevent them from  happening -- but never before that.

Now I know this sannyasin -- Yama is her name. She is a beautiful  woman, really in search -- but half-heartedly.

So she cannot go away because half of her heart is with me, and she  cannot enter into me totally because half of her heart is still  thinking of other things. Now she will be in difficulty; she will  be in a kind of schizophrenia -- split.
 
IHSAN means don't be split. If you don't want to see God. forget  about it. Be in The world; let the world be your only reality. One  day or other you will be frustrated. Then the search for God will  start. But there is no need to go right now. If you are not ripe  yet, it is better to remain in the world. The world will make you  ripe for God. There is no hurry. If you are really ready, then  don't ride on two horses. Then choose. I hat is the meaning of  IHSAN -- authenticity, sincerity.

The second meaning of IHSAN is virtue -- inner virtue, not imposed  from the outside. When a person is authentic, a kind of virtue  arises in him. You can see the authentic person. The truth is very  clear in his being. Everything that he does is very clear. He has a  direction, a sense of direction, because his is a sincere search.  He knows what he is doing so he does only that which is going to  help his ultimate goal, and he drops all that which is irrelevant.  He will not waste a single moment of his time and energy on  anything else.

If you are really a sannyasin then whatsoever you do will be a help  towards your goal, your samadhi. If you are playing music, you will  play with the idea that it will be part of your meditation.

If you are dancing, you will dance to create a more meditative  space around you. If you are talking to somebody, you will talk  only about things which are going to help; you will not be  distracted by rubbish. You will simply say, 'This is not for me. I  am not interested in it.' You will read only those books which are  going to help. You will not waste your time in reading stupid  novels. You will not go to any movie and you will not listen to any  radio programme.
 
Your life will become more and more directed, channellised. You  have one purpose, and that purpose is continuously there -- like a  thread running in everything you are doing. Only then is there a  possibility, only then do you become worthy enough. You deserve  God's descending into you.

When it is seen that your total effort is directed towards God,  that your whole life has become worship, it is IHSAN. It is what  Buddhists called SHEELA, virtue.

And the third meaning of IHSAN is totality, wholeness. Whatsoever  you do, don't hold back. Go into it utterly, don't remain a  spectator -- because it is only by being a participant that one  comes to know anything. Spectators simply go on missing.
If you are dancing, dance; and in that moment let the dance become  your all. Put all that you have into it. Not even a small part of  you should remain a watcher. You should become involved utterly,  absolutely.

Those few moments, when you are absolutely in something, are the  moments when you are closest to God. Those are the moments of bliss  and benediction.

 
These are the three pillars of Islam and Sufism. These three  pillars have to be imbibed. And they contain all that is needed for  any religious person -- Sufi or not Sufi. These three pillars are  very essential. This is a design, a NAQSHBANDI. If you can have  ISLAM -- surrender, peace, silence; IMAN -- faith, religiousness,  commitment; IHSAN -- authenticity, virtue, totality .. . you have  the map. "


Therefore RASTAFARI is surrender to JAH... RastafarI is IMAN... InI   live up IHSANI. The virtue of living an authentic life; thus  LIVICATION.

InI have to discover what does it mean to be religious, then all  the differences can be left as diverse route to discover a single  essential truth to be.

RastafarI Live !

[I ELIJAH I]

Ok I&IAm, I sight where the I wan fe take this, You've don already made threatening remark at me. Just Imemeber, You the one who reason with maybes, and you the one who feel so skeerd he need fe dehumanize I's and refer to them as "this" and "itself", So think twice when we roll though Christiania and you wan fe test a champion.

[Ras Adam]

Elijah I - Iman have not made any threatening remarks at the I!
You call Iman "I&IAM" (the righteous don't mock his brothers) Iman don't call you any ridicule names - Iman have the respect for the I still, even though you don't accept Iman path, Iman Iditation and Iman sight of the Almighty JAH ADONAI. Iman know that there is different reasons that some people in this world act the way they do, so Iman not angry at the I.
Well, Iman said "Well, this once again speaks for itself........"   this means "Well, this(the way of reasoning, discussing) once again speaks for itself(the discussion) I was not pointing at you, Iman was pointing at the I's way to reason, brother. You say that Iman have a "I&Iam" crew... And all that... What about respect & brotherly love? Is that not for someone who doesn't believe in Jesus as Messiah?

Blessed & Ivine Love,




John 14:2

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.



John 2:13-21

13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
 
14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.

15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.

16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written,  “Zeal for Your house  has eaten Me up.”

18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”

19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

The House of Leo is built upon solid stone foundation! "A house built on granite and strong foundations, not even the onslaught of pouring rain, gushing torrents and strong winds will be able to pull down." ----Haile Selassie I
 

The great pyramids in Kemet and other great structures around the world built out of stone are evidence of a quality of living that sets the standard that many to this day are seeking to attain.

Even the river has to adhere to a path! There are laws and higher laws. Truth and higher truth.

The Sufiyah speaks Iniversal wisedome.

Yes I...

Iman have gone similar lines a numerous time in this forum and else  where. The very fact I as a man dont take a stance outta them at  any given moment is because I dont see lightness in being a pundit  or something. Afterall, all that can be sort out to be overstood  can be directly perceived if one has an open heart and mind. So  scriptures are rough guides.

So u can synthesis a couple of loose junctions by urself... Mansion  is a multidimensional constraint. You might have heard about a term  polymorphism; when elemental particles acquire a different  structures /bond arrangement/Patterning; leads to different  physical properties yet at the very inside of them all; are made of the same kind of  element. Therefore when u want enter the essence of a Word Mansion,  one way u gotta ovestand is: there is always a GROSS factor and  SUBTLE factor. And the subtle has always been the key to synthesis.  So Iman dont suggest the houses should collapse, in stead iman favor to  penetrate the essence of all which will indicate the living truth.

Speaking of the Pyramids, if u real real real want know what they  do stand for; Iman assure u, u will know it sometime. Forget about  the others, of which u say are many... Just the I. The pyramid  where past civilisation's experimentation with CONSCIOUSNESS. So if  the I is trodding the same path. Some of the overstanding will come  to u naturally.The wisdom of it is perenial. And I wonder why only  those of egypt... There have been many around the Earth. From  Mexico to Japan... Even what which is speculated as pyramid were  the tombs for pharoah is not real the case. There have been far  great exeperiments going on in the pyramids. And much of it is  shared among the initiates of Egypt and Tibet, some sort of similar  experiments have been going on in these places which have to do  with preserving the dead bodies... But much of it mainstream  science and the population at general is not interested. So let it  remain a mystery. And indeed even if u happen to know, still the  mystery is always there as far as the consciousness has the  potential for.

Something about flowing is a depictation of how the spontenity is a  significant factor rather than path transcribed by the motion. If u  r familiar with plane geometry and mathematics of the locus; then u  can say a line is made of a number of distinctive dots joined close  together in a succesive plotting. Then religiousness is concerned  by those dots and the line is not... Tho it is a gross perceiption  but the singularity is something else, and that is essential. The  locus of the centre of the wheel is the path parallel to the plane  of which the wheel rotates upon. Again, the motion can be perpetual  but the path can stretch into the infinity... Now religiousness is  the quality of the perenial reality and not the gross intepretation  of its due cause. There is none... Now this how Zen, Mathematics  can converge to illustrate the theme of the living DHAMMA... In  Calculus; As integration is basically the summation between the  known confinement, then it is Quantiative, a Male characteristic and the Gross phenomena  that can be calculated. However differentiations implies  determination of the qualitative analysis... And it is feminine.  For with diferrential equations deals with values at a time. Values  at certain states/conditions... And religiousness is such that. It  is how u run the functions of consciousness with awareness as a  variable... If u could try to switch with integral sense then there  is paradox of Infinite point and indefinite point to be the  boundaries of perceiption, in which, at that case; is a total  enlightment of the whole. And it ultimatedly leads to ZERO. A point  of everything is the point of absolute NOTHINGNESS. Now this is  contrary to what ordinary thinking suggests. Thinking is rational  and it is the mode of mind operating in material world, the gross  perspective. But through the  single eyed visioned the objective is  not the matter but the subjective itself. When this happens, u wind up into the differetial mode... The world of ISNESS.

Then again iman suggest to the I not to take these matters so  literally. What is being done here is an effort to help InI see  thru what it IS. Not a debate or sort of. But once in a while if  what u say worthy to be replied, the spirit will call.

Bless Up
