Though it has taken quite some time, I was able to summarize my writings on the Sun Lion King and the Messianic Throne of David some more, to include the zodiac meanings behind the titles and symbols....
One of the most important truths
of RasTafari is the claim to His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie’s
Ivinity; or His likeness or true representation of the Messiah King, the
Kristos King, Son of God. For the true believer, His Majesty replaces the
deities of Abrahamic religion, and is a Real Living Proof of the Godhood or God
Head Trinity present in our world in flesh, Irator as Iration.
While most RasTafari expressions
of Identity or theology come from the Abrahamic foundation Afrikans were given
through slavery, there is a wealth of information showing that the Abrahamic
Identity is itself a composite of more ancient Afrikan (embracing all Africa,
Middle East and Asia) cultures. By seeing that the Abrahamic religions are
composites of ancient religions, and in order to better overstand what they
really are about through their origins; we gain more overstanding of exactly
what the meaning of the Kristos King is, his purpose, identity and origin (in
addition to reclaiming our ancestral root, Sankofa).
It is better to know more about InI
God and King in the heights of this hidden realm which has been buried under
religious colonialism for ages. InI can see more dimension, truth and reality
to His Majesty’s Ivinity, or His Cosmic birth by learning the secret cosmic meanings
of all the Titles and Symbols attributed to the Throne of David-Solomon. These
titles give a greater power of proof to the RasTafari stance that the Emperor
is the Manifestation of JAH, the heavens, as above so below- the banner of red
gold green black, The Lion of Judah, Kristos, the Messenger of Providence, Soldier
of the Cross, Son of God, the Messiah of Humanity, a Beacon, a Star in Afrika
to point us back to our origin that we may relearn these truths of our DNA.
This knowledge empowers InI to
be free, to be separated from ignorance and idolatry, to be champions of the
Natural Right which is both cosmic and terrestrial, Iritual and earthly; that
InI be no more slaves to Babylon but free minded, laboring for a higher livity
and Wisemind redemption with a firm foundation, knowledgeable not doubting,
accountable not slacking, loving not killing. Ultimately learning about the
cosmic birth of His Majesty not only brings greater appreciation of HIM as the
Messiah through His cosmic birth as Judah, but also more importantly on the day
to day living, shows InI that we are all born under stars and signs, and we
must pay attention to the months, days, numbers and names which mark our births
to learn more about our personalities, strengths and weakness and our
experiences, as there is great cosmic relevance in the lives of every man and
woman.
(In terms of knowledge that will
really help explain astrotheology, I recommend as I mentioned before, The Witness
of the Stars by Bullinger and The Light of Egypt by Thomas Burgoyne, as well as
watching all Santos Bonacci videos as he speaks on these works, the cosmos and
how they are hidden in the Ible and all religion. These works may help ones to
really overcome all slave mentalities that encourage us to think that any
knowledge of nature is pagan or heretical. But the REALITY is that nothing we think we
know about gods and deities, namely Iyesus Kristos, is without its cosmic
allegorical meaning. When it comes to Abrahamic faiths we are dealing with
myths and allegories not historical facts.)
As I mentioned, all the
Judeo-Christian Messianic attributes taken from the Judaean House of David and applied
to the Ethiopian Negus since the reign of Axumite King Ezana in the fourth
century, are linked to cosmic prophecies and cosmic deities. Iyesus Kristos is
a figure based on Heru and Osiris and they are sky deities, so we cannot ignore
the cosmic history of today's gods and religion. What I am saying here was decoded from all the information RasTafari already know about Haile Sellassie the First, all the Scriptures
we use now to hail HIM Lord and King. The only difference is that I went beyond
the church traditions of Jews and Christians back to the origins of religious
dogma, the Nile Valley. So without the colonial lens when we view our history, it
is clear that His majesty’s Throne was indeed one once crowned in the name of a more astrotheological tradition, so
now InI must now take a look at the other side that is yet to be revealed.
The House of David in Ethiopia
came from a marriage between fabled King Solomon of Jerusalem and Queen of
Ethiopia and Yemen or Saba, Makeda. Their son Menyelek I became the first King
of Judah to rule outside of Jerusalem given that his father sent him back to
his mother to take her place on the throne, having been given coronation in
Jerusalem with the princes of Israel’s twelve tribes. The Kebra Nagast and
writings of Kaye Corbett which can be found online, speak more on this
historical legend of Ethiopia, Arabia and Israel. Afrika and the Middle East
have for a long time shared the Jewish Identity scattered across places like
Harar, Timbuktu, Judaea and Saba. Now while the Kebra Nagast says this marriage
is how Judaism came to Ethiopia on a state level, Christianity came to Ethiopia
on a state level by Frumentius, to the House of Ezana. This was in the same
century that the nature of Iyesus Kristos and his gospels were chosen by the
Bishops and dispersed around the world. Frumentius was one such "missionary" for
the Roman Church whose seat was in Alexandria, Egypt.
Although all kings were now
being crowned as the House of Solomon, representing the Lion of Judah (Iyesus Kristos),
bearing all the titles and symbols and regalia of the Illuminated King, I am
sure that the Lion symbol was used way before Christianity came on the royal
scene. It was these kinds of similarities that might have made it easier for
Frumentius to convert a worshipper of Mars and other deities.
Because ancient Kings like Ezana
worshipped the cosmos or planets and had their festivities by the signs of the
constellations; another similarity that Ezana might have enjoyed was the story
of the Mother and Son, and the son’s future success as king. I have found that Virgo and Leo more than
others, are signs or constellations which contributed a lot to the Mother and
Son relationships in the Abrahamic tradition, namely the Persona of the Messiah
or Great Warrior King, or Son, or David-Solomon dynasty.
While the story is really about
the man-child she has, the Mother
is the source of his manifestation, the provider of nourishment and of love. Virgo is the Mother, “the Woman in travail to bring forth" in Scripture first depicted by Eve.
Eve and her son were the first
allegory to symbolize Virgo, as the serpent would bruise the heel of
her young son Cain. This is the same Woman and Son of Revelation 12, Genesis
3:15, andIsaiah 7:14. The Woman’s seed
is cursed to battle against Satan, as depicted throughout the life of Israel the
chosen seed or sons of Eve, like the Davidic Kings. In the cases of patriarchs like
Moses, Samuel, John, Solomon and Iyesus, if you notice in Scripture there is
deep bond, a relationship of love and respect between the
patriarch-kings-priests-prophets and their mothers. In terms of Judah’s kings,
a beloved mother may only be known by a name or a deed, but she was mentioned
alongside her son. The most important verses for the Wombman Proverbs 31,
carries a legend of being written by a mother for a son, to demonstrate how
important the bond was to producing a fruitful kingdom.
Being named “Branch” ( Jer
33:15, Zechariah 3:8) “Servant” “King of Kings” Lion of Judah” “Son” or “Man
Child” or “Son of Man” (Genesis revelation 12, 14:14, Isaiah 9:6-7) are
instances where David is being linked to the Son that sits upon the Virgin’s or
Young Woman’s knee. In the heavenly Virgo the child is a star called COMA. The
word Branch is actually a star in Virgo, so the link is not just one that is
assumed, David is Virgo’s Son because of the word Branch. He is the Branch of Righteousness.
This bond of mother-son, the
Madonna of Christianity, signifies the immaculate conception of the cosmos and
earth, the fertility that the month and sign Virgo represents as well, as she
is depicted with ears of corn/wheat in her hand; for the harvest is ready to be
reaped. Virgo is fertility, the birth of life. Virgo is the Tribe of Asher, who shall “yield royal dainties” in
Genesis 49;20. The reaping of what was sown or birthed from her womb is signified
by the stars BOOTES or the man who reaps the earth with his sickle in
Revelation 14:14-16,18. He is the Coming One, likened to the Branch, the
awaited one to judge the earth (ps 96:13)
Alongside Bootes is Centaurus or
Cheiron or the Two Natured one. He is the sufferer, the despised to be wounded
by Satan. Here lies the Ivine and Human duality of the Kristos King Iyesus as
the Son of David. The two-natured one in this constellation is the sufferer who
is sacrificed, being pierced. He is humiliated and then exalted. (Isaiah 53:3) so Virgo as a constellation depicts the life, nature and struggles of the Messiah.
Woman with Child, the Madonna, Virgo. Note the nimbus or halo on their heads depicting the Sun deity.
While Virgo deals with the
coming prince, his humiliation, suffering at the hand of the serpent who bites;
the tribulations of David and his sons; The king (which is really the Sun) is
expected to gain the final victory eventually, and this comes from his rising
in the sign of Leo, the House of the Sun. Leo is the fierce warrior, the active
agent of creation bringing strength, courage and fire. Physically there is
abundance and bright flourishing in the earth. All things are ripened by its
corona of rays and growing to full maturity. David is a Lion King because he
was born of the tribe of Judah which in the Ible was the warrior tribe, the
lion tribe of the twelve sons or constellations. Judah became known by David
and David by Jesus, being the Righteous Branch, Root and Conquering Lion. The number of the messiah is 5. Leo also is represented by 5 and July 23 is 5.
Leo constellation has four main
star groups that give the story of the champion lion. First we have the Lion of
Judah himself, rending, angry and reading to tear the head or trample the head
of the hydra. Revelation 5:5, Genesis 49:8-10 (His Majesty as King, leader of the Army of Lion warriors)
The Hydra is the second, meaning
the “abhorred,” despised enemy of the king that is bound in Revelation 20:2.
The hydra is the serpent and the dragon as well, or Satan or winter or cold and
the infertility of the earth in these months. (the Serpent or Hydra or Satan is Mussolini, Rome, Babylon in Revelation prophecy, see the Book National Sunday Law. The war with Italy started and the king had to be exiled as He was bitten and temporarily wounded by the serpent, this corresponds to Libra-Scorpio. But now in Leo the serpent is to be dealt with the by the Lion, as in the return from exile in 1941.)
The third group of stars is
Crater or the cup of pouring out, the wrath, the fire and brimstone. It is also
called a bowl Psalm 23, 75:8 and 11:6, Revelation 14:10, 16:9 and 19:20. (The Italian Ethiopian war, the road back to the throne by the Emperor)
Finally is Corvus or the raven,
whose natural enemy is the snake. The raven breaks up the hydra, pecks at it –
just as in Revelation 19 :17 when the angel calls the birds to the feast after
the Lion of Judah, the King of Kings has defeated the enemy. (After the war, and the lion's allies take care of the Serpent's threats, Mussolini's dead body is left for the birds to feast upon. In Italy the people were the ravens, as they came and beat his body for all the bad he had done.)
By
knowing the true story behind the constellation of Virgo and Leo
especially it is clear that His Majesty's life was indeed like an epic
story of Hercules. His entire life was "caught up to the throne of God" the Sun-Lion-King.
For further reading in Scripture
focus on the Books of 2 Esdras, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Psalms and Revelation which
speak much on this Virgo-Leo identity of David’s lineage.
Overall it cannot be denied that
the Ethiopian Throne of David, installed by Emperor Menelik II and Glorified by
Haile Sellassie I, manifests true order and power “as above so below”. Two of
its most important symbols show this power, the tricolor flag with the lion
symbol, and even trinity star symbol; as well as the coat of arms which is covered in
symbols that point Leo and Virgo: branches, lions, swords. In addition to the scakes of Libra. In ancint days Libra and Scorpio were part if Virgo. Then they were separated making twelve constellations. Virgo Leo also corresponds to the Sphinx which speaks on the virgin purity rising from animal nature.
the Ethiopian Coat of Arms
All these cosmic titles and
thrones in the earth are based on the great Cosmic heavens, the Kingdom of God,
the vast domain of the Light and Eternal Life – this is the everliving throne
of the world that JAH RasTafari sits upon. All humans look to the heavens for
Ivine connection and it cannot be denied that to truly overstand religion is to
truly overstand cosmic science and its true preoccupation in man’s mind as it
is the path to immortality. To Know JAH is to know what is happening all around
InI, to overstand why Greco-Roman Babylon is so interested in the heavens and
wants us to stay away from such under the threat of paganism and heresy. The
Zodiac and the path of the Sun through it, is natural, it is knowing our earth
and seasons fully, and seeing this as the blueprint of Jah’s handiwork. Psalm
147:4 and Psalm 89, Isaiah 40:26, Job 9:9, 38:31-2.
Kemet knew the truth and didn’t
want Japheth to have it, so they coded it and this code was corrupted and
maligned for allthe human race by Greco Roman religious colonization. Now is
the time to truly know and see the Most High Livity Law and Light, and to
overstand as I said that His Majesty’s cosmic birth is a mirror of all our
cosmic births. InI are all Ivine Beings as humans are indeed made of star dust.
The cosmos knows itself because of our manifestations, and our patterns under
the twelve signs/constellation. And when InI accept our zodiacal balance as
part of the key to “know thyself” then InI can see how our destiny is to return
to it in purity and to heal all the oppressing ways of flesh, that our physical
plane may align and reflect a greater cosmic order.
Greetings
in the Name of the Blessed King and Queen RasTafari,
Give
thanks for life, health and the will to do right and live right each day, and
for love and the receiving of love.
I just
want to point out – if it isn’t obvious already- that I will be doing a series of posts geared to show a lot of new
information that I am currently studying in my own personal journey to learn
and reveal all the wonderful things about King Alpha. Not everything
will align to what every RasTafari mansions deem to be RasTa tradition or
beliefs, but my aim is to reveal not only the TRUTH about a lot of things, but
to focus on glorifying HIM. And I have uncovered a lot. So I warn the RasTafari
reader now that I will say my piece in my personal awakening to share with
other RasTafari what I honestly feel is the TRUTH about who InI really are and
who our JAH is and should be remembered as…
(Note this has been edited I added more)
To
reiterate what I was saying in my intro to astro-theology, the first thing I
learned in dealing with decoding the Ible to its true esoteric meanings which
were once indigenous to Kemet and other Eastern cultures, is that the Sun is the
Image of God of the entire Earth for all ages, and this is mainly because
scientifically, or naturally, it IS. The
Sun is the great nucleus around which the planets revolve; it gives them all
their energies and individual life forces. Without the Sun, which is the name
of this star and should be capitalized, we here on Earth would be nothing. For
example, our bodies contain chemicals that react to the Sun like melanin and
serotonin. All plants which we eat rely on the Sun to grow and make nutrients
and in turn we rely on them to have optimum health. The Sun’s energy is our Life-force. All seasons
and festivities are based on the movements of the Sun, even our calendar, our vacationing
traditions. It is not Sun worship in my opinion, but more like submission to
the truth that the Sun is the Ruler of our Iniverse and the Natural Laws that
cause it to be. We are at the mercy of the heavens, and astro-theology is a way
to make the unknown easier to encounter. Astro-theology or subsequent religion
based on Nature mythology, therefore is man’s way of coming to grips with this visible Power of God, learning its movements
through the twelve mansions of the zodiac every 365 days; and connecting its
reignto his own yearly revolutions, his
own structure, nature, purpose and destiny.
Accepting
the Sun’s godly reign over our world is a step crucial to overstanding the astrological
theology of the Bible, and means that ALL Hebrew or Christian Scriptures and
doctrines of the Church are really based on astro-theology. The God and Son of
God of the Ible are indeed personifications of the Sun and planetary bodies
because of their natural reign and our dependence on these solar bodies for
Earth’s steadfast regulation. Even the Holy Irit is the Sun, and once was the
Mother principle. Sunday is the holy day of Iyesus because that name is a name
for the Sun personified as a Son-King – Sunday literally means the Sun’s day
just as Monday is the Moon’s. Although Christianity denies any “pagan”
association InI must overstand that paganism is nothing to be prejudiced
against… well unless talking about animal and baby blood sacrifices.
All in
all, the Hola Scriptures are astrological science or riddled Iritual philosophy
based on cosmic science as it impacts humans. Therefore almost everything is
metaphorical or allegorical and not meant to be literal (and where it’s meant
to be literal or even historical it is still heavily coded). If we overstand
that this is the truth, then it makes sense that such strange things happened
in supposed history. The only clear thing the Bible has at face value is
probably laws and proverbs on morality. If you still need coaxing, I challenge
you to again if you haven’t yet, visit the Ible and just pick any Book and
read. How long does it take before you get to a heavenly or cosmic reference?
Does it make sense now somewhat? In fact, it won’t until you read the
constellations. There is more to be decoded than just Sun-references, as many
trees and animals are also code for philosophical concepts of Irituality. (See
The Secret Teachings of All Ages, quoted on the Esoteric Knowledge Page).
Because of the exoteric allegory and metaphor we have to accept that we are not dealing with the truth or the full truth, and therefore cannot achieve truth or make logic.We have to be wary of how religious
doctrine has shaped our lives as individuals living under its dogma, and as a world buzzing with countless interpretations and practices based on the same information or doctrine. The exoteric misuse coupled with the mistranslated text of the KJV can create a thick
veil, distraction and certain blindness to our true destiny for Inity with JAH
through Creation/Neter, that is, through knowledge of Natural Sciences of Laws
of JAH in our solar system.
For natural science is the purest form of
spirituality according to the ancients: knowing one’s origin, one’s design (chakra,Ital.,Iditation,
chants etc) and one’s destiny as a Being of Light.The symbol of our Iritual Origin and make up
is mirrored in the Sun and stars. This
knowledge is what the priesthood knew, what the Egyptians depicted as gods and
goddesses, why the Mayans say we are Star People. The esotericism from whence
Christianity came bears the true meaning of Divinity, which basically means
from the heavens or cosmic, and yet to talk of the stars in religion is
taboo/occult/heretical/pagan! The entire Bible maligns Kemet and yet
everything that the Church has adapted is from the same Nile Valley Golden
Empire.
Rastafari has also adopted esoteric symbolism, for instance the symbols of the sixpointed star, the lion and also the ritual prayer at 6 am, 12 pm, 6 pm which represent the three stages of the Sun - Heru - Ra- Set and 12 midnite is Osiris in the tomb. Our three times are equal to the Earth's daily movement around the Sun.
So we have to get it through
our thick skulls that this taboo only exists to prevent us from re-adopting our past Afrikan culture, or really knowing that we are corrupting our part cultures, especially the
Kemetic root or else Britain and all Europe ( by means of ancient Greece and
Rome) would be shown to be liars and imposters and could not be the authors of science and philosophy or rulers of a world
empire anymore!
This is basic pan-Afrikan knowledge, and yet in RasTafari
today, many refuse to really sit down and seriously consider these truths. I
mean why is redeemed Israel- RasTafari, still not coming to grips with the
reality that whether Orthodox or otherwise, all Christianity or all religious
texts we ever had, are edited corrupted versions of on a sacred secret
knowledge about man and woman’s shared cosmological knowledge and manifested
experiences here on Earth? Why is this a threat? If we can find the true
authors and ideas, why is such a threat? Kemet has done us nothing wrong but we believe
when the Bible says it is pagan and we feel no remorse that it was destroyed,
as written in Scripture. But Kemet shared the same home as Kush, Ethiopia…we
must not forget the unity of these lands, in using the Bible, right?
There is ONE BLOODLINE meaning one
umbrella or group using the same Kemetic ideas, titles, symbols and gods, that
is ruling the entire world right now with mainstream economy, media and
international trade laws. They are exploiting our ignorance of Natural Law to
the fullest, putting us in graves, keeping us like dogs at their heels for we only
know what they want us to at any given moment, in the mainstream. They have
taken the symbols, language, titles and thrones from Afrika and made them fit
their agenda, maligning the ancient use of such by Afrikan priests and kings.
“Thou shall make no graven image” no hieroglyphs, no stele, no busts, no
anything that remind us of who or what our gods looked like, or who we looked
like or what we knew! Only the secret-society white man is allowed to make
these images and tell us to worship them! Even in the Orthodox Church many
ancient black images were replaced by White Church “donations!” Our languages
were also corrupted and totally wiped out as the last tribes’ men and women
born on the continent died as slaves in the West or Europe. We cannot sit aside
today and simply say “Christianity is really Afrikan” and let that be what
comforts us. We have to know for ourselves, that it really was not Afrikan, not
in the sense of FOR Afrikans.
This secret esoteric Afrikan knowledge
was what made Christianity and the Scriptures we call the Holy Bible and
Apocrypha and Hermetics and Kybalion and so on. But the information was heavily
coded and was purposely altered into a corrupted form because this knowledge
was being forced out of the hand
Kemet, just like her independence. The Greeks had no language, Kemet gave them
a language to record these Scriptures in, and with the alphabet Greek influence
grew and they started writing and creating histories for themselves as
civilized people. It was what Greece was given by their new Egypt, that created
modern religion.
Kemet as a Nation under the umbrella
of Ethiopian bloodlines was the Golden Age Kingdom, the place where astro-theology
had thrived and dominated the Afrikan continent and from it Europe got its
knowledge and stole the power to rule the entire world through Judaism and Christianity.
What we know as Judaism and Christianity as it turns out, were created FOR THE
GENTILES by the JUDAHITE and KEMETIC PRIESTHOODS – on two occasions. The first
time in 323 BCE Ptolemy Soter I had Serapis created by the Kemetic priests for
his image to be worshipped all over Egypt. Serapis was the first wihte image,
and the only one really, to be created for Black people. 70 CE marks the crushing
of the Maccabees and other Jews in their capital city. It saw the hidden
fulfilment of the prophecies of the New Testament, by the Roman messiah Titus
Flavius. His family was Caesarian, who claimed the same divine right as kings and
wanted to be worshipped and paid tribute in Judaea, their new colony. They got
the rabbis who were looking to profit rather than burn, to create a book that held Judah’s messianic
prophecies but in the Image of Jesus, whoseimage was Serapis. This was
combined with the Torah to create an overall theology that would harmonize the
Gentiles with the Afrikans and all other races on the Asian continent.
These two leaders pestered the
secret priesthoods of Memphis, Alexandria and all over the Nile Valley, insisting
that they know the spirituality of the Copts and the Jews, as such was the
greatest institution of rule in the kingdoms of Judaea and Nile Valley (as in Biblical
Israel, showing you the parallels are there!). I figure they mean Kabbala and Hermetics. To have that secret knowledge was to have rule
because the people would submit to the gods and sons of the gods, and not these
foreign kings. These men therefore got the knowledge and created divinity for
themselves in the new god Serapis-Jesus and banned Afrikan gods. Isis and her Sun-Kings
were replaced. Having this knowledge compiled in this Book and manipulating ideas of
the Afrikan Way with slavery, was what the Europeans used to legitimize the Atlantic Slave
Trade as they took their divine rights from Jesus Christ, Son of David. It was NEVER MEANT for AFRIKANS as we already
had our own kingdom and Irituality, but was FORCED ON ALL OF US through
colonization and slavery. “The slave ship was called Jesus Christ…I wonder
why?”
All of Afrika suffered it brutally but
Ethiopia. So then of course there is the history of the EOTC…I have always thought the
Tewahedo was much better because it was accepted rather than forced brutally upon
the Afrikans. It produced a wonderful pair like JAH RasTafari, so it couldnt be all bad, right? But in reality, Ethiopia changed from worshipping Aries and many other cosmic deities to Iyesus by the diligence of a young boy. The founder of the EOTC, Saint Frumentius was likely a Black Greek, a
Syro-Phoenician from Tyre Lebanon, who was shipwrecked as a boy and ended up at Axum. Being a Christian Greek, he
taught Christianity to the sons of the Negus and when Ezana became ruler with
his brother they accepted it as the State religion in fourth century.
Frumentius became the Patriarch of the Axumite Empire with Alexandria’s
blessings, as he went there begging for them to send a Bishop to a growing Christian population in Axum. Alexandria was the Coptic head seat of Christianity, and Bishops including those of Rome, were appointed there. Frumentius was a contemporary of Constantine, Eusebius, Arius and Alexandria's patriarch Anathanasius, in fact he received his power and titles from these men.
He answered to these men! He was a foreigner and all Ethiopian Bishops were foreigners. And we
must overstand also that the EOTC is still joined to these Churches to this day as it is part of the World Council of Churches and
that it cannot truly be divorced from Roman Catholicism. I mean, they are hailing the same deities. The Emperor of Ethiopia was instrumental in this union, and had no
problem with this because He knew it was all one. They worship Mary, so does
the EOTC venerate her and they share Saints like Frumentius, having feasts and
prayers and traditions in common. So the question is whether ones as
pan-Afrikans, are also okay with the EOTC being joined to all other Christian
Churches?
So we have to be real about religion,
even Orthodoxy’s history and true astrotheological meaning as a Lion-Sun-King
Messianic Church (as the awaited Messiah is the Lion King, but truth is every
year this awaited messiah comes on July 23rd in the sign of Leo,
this day is like the coronation when the Sun’s corona is brilliant and begins
its hottest month.)
In the end, are ones going to remain
taking it all literally and believing in existence of a historical Iyesus who
is really a European idol the thirty year old Serapis? Christianity is Christianity, it doesnt matter where the Church is, they are all One.
Aside from the sketchy history of the Church overall, I am more open to seeing how in RasTafari mansions now are influenced by religion, how they may use the Bible to feed petty prejudices. I do also know that it is okay to want law and rites, it is okay to be comfortable in such an atmosphere as long as there is logic and love and not prejudices. Wombman are most oppressed by the Ible, and we have to be really careful about how and why we use it, and who we allow to interpret it for us (we can learn and listen but should have our own interpretations and studies) because as I have only recently REALLY real-eyesed for myself, let it sink in totally: the Ible doesn't like women very much! It gives them no rights and little love. Even though these people cant be proven to have been historical persons (i.e. real), we cannot deny the doctrine that ruled their lives and which is now ruling ours. I have heard Sistren expression oppression in RasTafari under mansion law, but I have never really felt oppressed even though I gave up a lot and very quickly to be part of a yard.
Though I had to make a lot of changes I never felt like I was doing something I didn't feel was right for me to really separate Iself from Babylon - that's important. Balance is key along with Truth. So in being real about religion I have been asking myself some serious questions, and these questions are inspired by those Sistren who are themselves without fear or judgemnet from others, who know that they are Lionesses in the ways that count: Ital, homeschooling, entrepreneurship, knowledge, yoga/fitness: so are we going
to keep segregating over laws in the Ible and divide ourselves into mansions based on dogma like, to eat vine vegetables or not to?
To keep silent in the Church or not to? To wear a crown covering constantly or not to? To
wear strictly skirts at all times or not to? Who is perfect? Who has time to watch face when there are so many problems we should be focusing on, like mainstream lies and negative influences on the youths! So many things we segregate and argue over as
RasTa, and while i do agree that Rastafari should have some kind of uniform Identity and practice; do these outward reflections all really matter so much if I and I are not Iritually advancing
at the heart? Or building up our Zion with nuclear families, ital, schools,
professional skills, agriculture and artistry? What has happened to the
collective security, the nation-building agenda, the New Creators of Afrika?
I personally in my experience feel
no need to hold a mansion because I am now biased to think mansions serve
tocreate too many distractions and
petty attitudes. The focus is on rulebook and the “most-Holy” judgment act is
tiring and it gets no one anywhere in terms of their true Iritual overstanding
or duty to rebuild Zion-Ethiopia, especially if it is that there is no new
knowledge, or any thought about educating and preparing the camp. I found
myself being influenced by prejudices and finding faults with others or being
in situations where others were being attacked for their "sins," and it became a
downpression. So I had to step away from others who weren’t about the works of
JAH RasTafari, or who had problems with inter-mansion reasonings, who were
using the Bible negatively under the rule of mansion. And I mean no disrespect
or harm, neither am I calling out anyone or naming names, I am honestly sharing
that we have to be careful in Rastafari, of the negative influences we adopt
from religion.
While I am fully committment to my Dawta lifestyle and don't intend to change my Livity as I have presented on this forum, through all my changes mentally, I have gained valuable life
lessons. Especially that WISEMIND is ALL, having a sound MIND and KNOWLEDGE OF
JAH in the REAL sense and not the mythological corrupted sense which was always
created for the ignorant masses not the learned seers. No one has your
salvation in their hand, every Rasta has to still experience JAH for themselves
and learn the Truth so that they can make the best informed decisions for their
lives and their families’.Irituality is inside of each of us. InI have to
really open our minds and eyes to what is all around us, to find our place in
the circle of life.
Some math logic…
Newlidj (new knowledge) + Istory +
Nature = Personal Perception of Truth + Personal Ivinity & Salvation +
Personal Perception and Messianic Inspiration of His/Her Imperial Majesty.
Everything I have learned about
Christianity and the true origin of the “Holy” Scriptures (indeed they are
FILLED with HOLES) has only strengthened my cultural Identity as RasTafari. My
core philosophical ground has not shaken and I exalt HIM even more than I ever
could. Though through esotericism I am redefining my RasTafari culture with
truth and logic, it has all been a pleasant refreshing awakening. But it wasn’t
an easy road, and it was indeed humbling too.
So don’t think for a moment that
I have not battled over n over with myself and all that I thought I knew or
learned or had learned or currently practice because of my influences in
Rastafari: the MANSION traditions of Rastafari (which deem Kemet to be pagan).
Don’t think that I have not seen the contradictions that I will make or have
made to our beliefs and so on. Don’t think that I have not considered over and
over in my head things His Majesty has said like “Man cannot emanate deity,” or
when He spoke of Iyesus and Maryam literally even though they are Heru, Osiris
and Isis in one (the Sun and Sirius), or when He mentioned the importance of
others being brought into the fellowship of Iyesus. Or that I have not felt bad
for being against any mansion or Orthodoxy because of their Biblical
oppression. But because I continuously asked for JAH’s guidance and revelation
of His and Her Ivine WiseMind and Truth in this situation, I finally found for
my own self answers I feel are solid, and I encourage the I’s to be open to
them as well. So to put my final thoughts on what I have said thus far, and in
response to the idea of belonging to a particular Mansion right now as Fari:
First, even though I don’t think
Irituality has or needs a name per say, I choose to be called RasTafari and not
Christian or Orthodox. I believe the two to have two different outlooks on
Divinity and the Messianic Throne – and this Throne serves as an Inspiration
and a Guide back to Right. I believe Zion exists on tangible and cosmic levels,
but that it matters in the here and now through the principles of JAH whose
Wise Mind illuminates InI and is the foundation of every Rasta family. The One Who
stimulated the awakening of this Kristos Consciousness and my Heritage in me is
Emperor Haile Sellassie the First and not Iyesus Kristos, or any image of the
Serapis. I know that HIM had a relationship with this deity but I also believe
that He HIMSelf was an Avatar of Deity, and because of His relevance to
AFRIKANS in a much more positive and active Light in THIS time, Selah cancels
out the other. The David-Judah link is thought to be Biblical but it is a
cosmic concept, and goes beyond Jesus and Scripture. So far InI have thought
that Biblical prophecies were unique or specifically related to Israel when in
reality it is beyond human bloodlines and is an infinite cosmic reality that
man partakes in. So again, One cancels out the other in the Name of Judah.
(more reasoning to come on Leo but you can read for yourself!)
So even though the Jesus link is
basically problematic, I think it is only problematic when a person needs Jesus to be real, needs to believe
that he will do everything for them and they have no power to be good or godly
themselves. But if you believe in Afrika and truly are pan-Afrikan Garveyite
RasTa FarI, then you can trust that Mama Afrika has everything you need in Her,
and that her ancient ways are truth and were stolen for a reason: so that things
would be as they are today, with no Afrikan throne, no monarchy, no talk of a
kindred king or Messiah by any Black person. It’s only the British royal family the world
sees and considers now. All of this was for their glory, not our personal or
national well-being. Hardly anything we have that is Afrikan, has been left
alone, least of all our Afrikan Christian Churches. So for those who haste to
condemn the ancient Kemetians and so on as pagan and heretics, as I once did, I
hope that one day you will see that it was wrong and it is a mentality of
slavery – Afrikan - self-hate.Though I
once disagreed with this statement: Christianity is certainly not better than
Kemetic Wise Mind. And the proof is in the society that Christianity has built
– for example Kemet never had jails or any of these institutions created for
the mentally ill and corrupted. These
people had superior minds and societies and were crushed by the leaders and
religions that today are causing war in the East!
Second, in spite of all His Majesty
said or the Christian authorities that He was loyal to throughout life, I know
that these institutions were created and are based on manipulations of the True
Natural Laws or Hola Science of Astrotheology. I believe that sometimes we have
to step back and just let JAH do the talking and let things unfold through
diligent observation and seeking of knowledge. Because I did that and just
followed the path the information and signs of my world led me, I can see all
Natural or cosmic or scientific Law which created the theology of religion, symbolically
working through the Orthodox Church and Throne of David and Messianic Kingship
of Haile Sellassie. I also see that the congregation has a veil over their eyes
to the symbols and signs of NETER that are RIGHT IN FRONT THEIR EYES. I see
that the esoteric and exoteric are based on ONE, and that together they are
Kristos Consciousness in REAL TANGIBLE TRUTH. The symbols are not what they
seem, but are easy to know for real.
Third, I believe that in spite of
HIMSelf and what He knew of Himself and the world, or what He practiced, His Majesty
is the Avatar of Kristos and that HE DOES EMANATE DEITY, the SUN – the Sun or
Son or Messiah being the Most ancient symbol of the Divinity of Life or the
embodied Source or Light and Power of the unseen force Creator God, Kristos. Every
zodiac sign affects the world environment as well as the temperaments of
spirits in man and woman, planets also come into effect as they too cause
emotional currents in Earth. I believe that His Majesty’s entire life was as a
Son Servant (Branch of Righteousness/David) to the Most High Father (Whom the King
always addressed), was a Manifestation of NETER – the Solar System, the He
imanifested the symbols and attributes/titles of the Lion-Sun-King, the Son of
the Sun. I believe that the Emperor was the Vehicle of Change, the change for
the Good, the God, the Truth, Afrika’s Light and Champion. Being the King of
Judah was His station as a Man and was one that cosmically represented the rule
of good or right or knowledge over wrong and evil or darkness of mind. There is
a balance of Astro-theology and Nile Valley rule in HIM in His entire Life.
I believe that through the inspiration and
kinship of HIM, the TRUTH of all ancient worlds which is ageless and steadfast
in the heavens above, has revealed itself for those lost Afrikans who have the
eyes to see and ears to hear. Through His own life and office as King of
Ethiopia, He shines as a beacon leading us to discover God in our minds. There
is no longer myth and allegory and lies to rule over InI who take the time to
seek knowledge. He is real and is not a myth and we can Trust in HIM. King
Solomon teaches us that seeking Wise Mind is the key to having a royal,
powerful and prosperous life. His and Her Majesties remind us of our greatness as kings
and queens, ourWise Mind that gave us
rule and strength.
Fourth, the Emperor believed in
religious tolerance because He believed the Creator was only One even if we
called it different names. And so, I say that I personally do not need to be
Orthodox to show that I am following in the Kristos’ footsteps, whether Iyesus
or Haile Sellassie I. That is not really the fulfilment of following HIM. For
righteousness belongs to no one language or form of Irituality, and yet again,
I am chosing to be RasTafari because of HIM and HIS LIFE and Manifestation of
Kristos Consciousness which has led I to I own. Why is it okay to call on
Iyesus but not on Haile Sellassie who really was the Lion of Judah?
Fifth, The Emperor was engaged with
Rastafari, acknowledged Rastafari, did not reject or deny our view of HIM,
fully overstanding, from what I can tell, our Messianic adoration of HIM. His
Majesty believed in the Inity of all Afrikans worldwide (EWF?) this was not
under the rule that we all had to be EOTC, the Church was an offering because
He couldn’t do anything illegal in Jamaica in helping Afrikans who wanted to
denounce their colonial government.
Sixth, I have concluded that even if
Rasta choose to use Scriptures, it’s not a problem if ones also choose to
decode it esoterically to really take in the fullness. Similarly if ones still
choose Ethiopian Orthodoxy, then that is by your right, but truth is also your
right, and if you use the Ible religiously
or continue to follow the rigid Statutes of Scriptures or mansion, at least it
will be in truth and hopefully more significant to your life. There is no
foul-play when one informs the I Self on the meanings behind rituals, feasts
and symbols. Focus on your state of mind
and your character will follow.
Note that the Bible has many sides,
it is like a cube that can be deciphered from many angles. The literal
interpretation of Scripture Rastafari use to describe the Christ or Davidic
Kristos King Character of the Haile Sellassie I, is not erroneous because REAL history reveals that the Ible shouldn’t be exoterically or literally
interpreted to find truth and Iritual union with JAH. What I have found is that
the language of the Ible and the literal interpretation is a mirror, a
mythological language that tells man’s overstanding of the cosmos: the Zodiac
and the Sun (this is the esoteric or hidden knowledge of the Levites or
Kabbalah); and this was knowledge the Hebrews learned from their parents,
Ethiopia/Kemet or as I call them together, the Nile Valley Civilization.
Seventh, it cannot be ignored that
it is possible to prove that everything cultural and religious in our world is
ideally based on legends and folklore, and that the famed men of Scriptures are
just idols and not historical figures. This doesn’t mean that these mythologies
don’t become history (historical figures) themselves to the people who believe
in them. These ideals become history by the people that live through them. You
can’t go to Jerusalem, Ethiopia or Rome and say the God of their Christianity
didn’t exist, because of the tangible history created for Iyesus in these places
through symbols, titles, architecture and rituals. Same thing in Bobo Shanti
and believing that Prince Emmanuel appeared on the Earth as lightning, without
father or mother. In the case of Christianity, our duty is to know the Afrikan and
embedded cosmic root of the same Messianic Figure and these attributes.
While Iyesus played an important
role as inspiration and morality and goodness in the eyes of JAH
RasTafari,this will never change what
has happened to make Christianity world religion or even state religion of
Ethiopia. Though our cultures were built on the symbols and titles and supposed
bloodlines of the characters of the Bible, it is not about them being real men,
it is about the principles and
strength they represent, about the points of Wise Mind they teach us, the signs
they give us that we may know and think twice as “there is nothing new under
the Sun.” Therefore, with truth, I do endorse and believe in the energy and
personality of this Kristos Figure Standard Bearer regardless of the Name; but
I believe it to have MANIfested in HIM JAH RasTafari, a real Man.
I want to add an excerpt from the
Kebra Nagast’s preface by Budge which implies that myth is a part of building
an identity as a society (think Christianity in Judaea to replace any Messianic
ideas amongst the Jews), and that conquered Romanized Judaea/Palestine or Roman
root of Christianity is no longer our dynasty; in that Ethiopia is considered
New Jerusalem Zion and that it is a site where the Bible’s culture, symbols and
characters have been objectified by the people and monarchy according to their
own Afrikan traditions not slavery. Budge says:
The
original form of the Legend of the Queen of SHEBA probably came into being soon
after the great invasion of ABYSSINIA
by the SEMITES in the tenth century before CHRIST. In the opinion of the
ABYSSINIANS divine authority was given to it by Our Lord by His words quoted in
the Gospels (Matt. xii. 42; Luke xi. 31), and they never doubted that SOLOMON
was the father of the son of the Queen of SHEBA. It followed as a matter of course that the male descendants of this son
were the lawful kings of ABYSSINIA, and as SOLOMON was an ancestor of CHRIST
they were kinsmen of Our Lord, and they claimed to reign by divine right. This
belief was probably shared by p. xi the kings of the Semitic kingdom of ’AKSÛM,
which city was at a very early period regarded as a duplicate of JERUSALEM and
was called the "ZION OF ABYSSINIA". When the ABYSSINIANS adopted
Christianity in the second half of the fourth or the first half of the fifth
century they decided to sever as far as possible their connection with their
pagan ancestors from ARABIA. The SEMITES who claimed kinship with the HEBREWS
of JERUSALEM abandoned MAḤRAM and the other gods of the MINAEANS and SABAEANS
in favour of JAHWEH, the god of the HEBREWS.
As above, so below; man manifests
what he sees, hears and thinks, including cosmic mythologies. Mythologies, when
they are not used to enslave or exploit people, are there to lead us back to
truth, to our cosmic souls when we can decode their symbols. All religions use
myth, but they are not encouraging Wise Mind; like Christianity when they ask
you to accept Iyesus Kristos’ Virgin Birth and resurrection after being dead
for three days. In esoteric reasoning, I don’t think that it destroys one’s
personal Iritual beliefs to know that said beliefs are based on mythos and fact
mixed together in the end, because myth and history together as religion come
from scientific fact or Nature, acting as the Instrument of the unseen God’s
Image, will, knowledge and power.
The Esoteric Wise Mind or the hidden
Word or Illuminated philosophy and natural order behind the mythos is what we
are looking for when we attempt to live Iritually, this is where all the
important Afrikan ways come from: the crystals, herbs, oils, colours, yoga, dreads,
fasting, ital. etc. These are all manifestations of Inity with Neter. So
knowing the principles that the mythos represent allows humanity to fully
partake in the Iritual meaning and astrological majesty of the characters or
symbols of “religion.” The five/six point stars, the lotus, staff, the cross,
ankh, and so on. This is what the hieroglyphs represent, a sacred secret
knowledge of Man’s interaction with Neter, JAH, Nature in an effort to gain
Wise Mind and Illumination or Everliving Life Power.
Learning the mythos of the signs and
symbols that adorn the Throne of David open up the Bible’s wide variety of
hidden astro-theological mysteries and their relevance and hidden presence in
our current Judeo-Christian theology. It is as if RasTafari have only scratched
the surface because we have not gone back into Istory enough without a Christian-bias (in my opinion of course). I personally
don’t mind the skepticism or lost historical proof of cities and bloodlines of
David and Israel to folklore in this journey, because in the creation of such
characters or any kingdom in history, it has always been about the SYMBOL and TITLE
of rule and not the person itself (like the Sun and lion and titles being an
inheritance of all Ethiopian kings regardless of succession). The Symbol and
Title have immortality through Wise Mind and Language and man shares that
immortality by the ritual use, honour and protection of the symbol and title (hence
why the world is run by that ONE BLOODLINE through secret societies hidden
behind our Kemetic SYMBOLS). We as Afrikans until the rising of pan-Afrikanism,
have lost that knowledge of context and the importance of symbols as sacred
language and identity, symbols and titles being the true inherited bloodline
more than actual people. We have taken back our language, our freedom to
communicate visually.
Take Adinkra for ensample, it is the
Akan sacred language, speaking of the strengths, nature and beliefs of the people,
you see the symbol and you know its Title and associated story or Wise Mind and
you wear it to harness that power. They
are social and yet Iritual talismans.
Eighth and finally, although it is tradition
that all spiritual faiths be formed on mythical figures (personifications of
planets and stars while the actual plot is the season or movement), such is NOT
TRUE for RasTafari. RasTafari is a REAL Man whose life was cosmically enhanced
and balanced, as above so below, and aligned to the Symbol and Title of King
David, or Leo or even Hercules, King of the Zodiac. His life can be likened to mythology as a way
to validate that InI can attribute the title Kristos King or Messiah or God
upon Haile Sellassie I. None of this disproves His Majesty therefore, only
strengthens RasTafari balance in esoteric and exoteric.
So I do hope that ones will do the
readings and truly embrace the newness of life, which means having Kristos
Consciousness and true oneness with JAH through TRUTH WISEMIND >WORD SOUND
POWER.Don't just sit and judge what I am saying, but seek and verify for yourself as I have.
I have created a page called
Esoteric Knowledge which covers important readings relevant to my posts on
Astrotheology in RasTafari. I figured ones need the extra push, so important parts have been selected, but space is still limited.
In addition to that page which
cannot hold everything I recommend: The Bullinger book Witness of the Stars and
also The Light of Egypt by Thomas Burgoyne which explains how the zodiac
influences earth and humans.(The coded astro-theology
for Leo and Virgo as they relate to defining David in his earthly and cosmic
character can only be known by learning about the zodiac first as stories of
the zodiac are what make up Messianic verses. I shall mention those in reasoning to fprward.)
And finally I recommend searing in google for references from the Ible that carry the more
obvious Astro-theological nature depicting the Sun.
And I also add some lectures you can
listen to at your convenience, about the creation of Christianity and Islam, I
also recommend the Chick Publications comic book series on Alberto an ex
Catholic Jesuit revealing the dirty history of the Church.
RasTafari Alpha and Imega Love,
Sorry it was sooooooooooo
longwinded, it took me six weeks and now three different drafts just to make
this one.
Honestly, I’m just trying to share
what I know is truth about the greatness of RasTafari, and it is clear that some
old things have to go and make room for the new more edifying truths.
Give thanks for the special EarthDay of His Imperial Majesty, give thanks for July 23rd and the Lion of Judah, for the rising of Mother Isis, Sirius bringing the showers of rain to the Nile, for the Summer Sun Heru-Ra-Amen in its shining glory, giving beauty and joy to the Earth!
Give thanks for the Afrikan Liberation Selahbration timing! Give thanks for the Messiah, the Anointed King and His victory over evil. Without His Imperial Majesty the Birthplace of InI would have been lost forever and destroyed. Give thanks to have witnessed the Coming of the true Son of God (OneAnointed with WiseMind and Power of the Trinity) in His Kingly Character, to deliver justice to Afrika!
The more I study the origins of the texts of the Bible - that is, not where or who wrote it but what ideas and documents the many authors used - I become aware of the glaringly obvious fact that the Bible is an astrotheological book - a book that tells the knowledge of JAH through the heavenly bodies - the stars including the sun, and the planets. I dare you to count how many times you see a cosmic reference in the Book of Revelation or Enoch - again, it's so "in your face." When I say the knowledge of JAH, I am talking about the most ancient principle of overstanding:
that JAH or the Creator, or God, is revealed or made known to man and wombman through Nature: "JAH in and as Creation" "as above so below, " the seasons, the cycles, the timing, the ebb and flow, the sunlight and bursting of new life and the wrathful natural disasters. It's all revealing "JAH" at every moment, and because of this basic principle the Kemetians developed a sacred language of JAH to record the sparks of knowledge they learned from observing the NeTeR - this is why they used animals and plants and humans to depict their Gods, because they acknowledge that we are all part of what is God, that Creation is in constant motion and existence in everything. Animals and plants were used as symbols of JAH because they were found to display certain unique characteristics of intelligence, of JAH's Design for Life. (it was not animal worship, but honouring the blueprint and design and wisemind found in each organism in earth).
The truth is that the Bible was written like a cube - it's got many
sides that make up the whole - and the whole is not literally about a
big kingdom of Israel but about knowing and abiding in the Natural Law
of JAH - the entire collection of Scriptures (Apocrypha, Old and New
Testament, Enoch etc) can be interpreted from a governmental, political,
cultural, proverbial or philosphical, theological, and most of all astronomical/astrological/botanical/scientific stand-point.
The second thing is that as above in the cosmos, so below on earth. all life on Earth shares its life force, its elements, energies and cycles with the planetary bodies and luminaries. Melanin for example, is part of space and part of our bodies - the ancients actually revered the Sun as an emblem of the Creator for it brought the seeds of life into fruition, and because they believed that it was a living organism and we as human reflect its intellect.
This also ties into the zodiac, for the zodiac not only interacted with the sun, told time and the change of seasons according to the four cardinal points and elements, but it was found to determine the attributes of people, to affect their psyche. part of knowing who you were was to know what to expect from your sign - similar to how Twelve Tribes uses the Tribes - and yes the Tribes of ISrael are infact the zodiac as are the disciples in the NT who replace the children of Jacob.
It was known that because we are essentially heavenly beings, that being in flesh on earth is hell, and that it was our duty to follow the righteous steps of MAAT and make our way back to the cosmos. Every pharaoh was to reach Orion's Belt and join Osiris for eternity when he died. He was embalmed for the process as the Sahu had to be initiated and protected and sent off in ceremony to ensure his success. they timed this journey with the heavens as well.
our ancestors all over the world of different cultures believes that JAH is One that can be seen in every little detail and aspect and cycle of Nature. it is up to us as humans to harmonize ourselves to the cycles of the earth as it is our animal fleshly nature, so that we may know our Iritual nature. it is up to us to know ourselves as beings of Iration which is to say as children of Natural Law. For ensample, InI must overstand the phases of the Sun and Moon not just to plant and harvest, but so that we can overstand our emotions and the how the atmosphere changes. for this is not paganism, or occultism or heresy - this is simply knowing ourselves as First Creation Birth before made-made (mosaic) laws had to be installed to save corrupted and vulgar men from themselves. how do you think the ancients before religion existed? they knew their environment by using their internal instincts, not by relying on text books or preachers!
The ancients also believed in reincarnation in flesh until we have purified (all the ego and bullshit nature is silenced) our souls enough to become stars - "go back to the Light" how many times does Hollywood tell us about going toward the Light in death? Hollywood itself is filled with all this ancient knowledge but we through slavery have been killed mentally and do not even recognize our own stories and philosophies outside of the obvious images and names.
Every man and woman when they gain knowledge of the right from the wrong will eventually stumble onto Natural Law. It is the greatest part of our purification, enlightenment and resurrection to new life because it involves Ital living, positive vibrations, harmony, quiet, learning, humbling, surrendering, affirming, blessing - think about it, the Lamb brought to Slaughter is the Lion's Victory! We jsut need to get past the myths that have been thrown in our faces to keep us from actually gaining true vision and determination that there is no other way to live!
The ancients believed that this process of ascension to the Solar or Soular Man, was linked to the Sun - which as told by the Zodiac's layout - goes through a similar process represented by the four seasons. Nothing that we feel and do therefore, on earth, is without its cosmic mirror. and I know that those RasTafari who have the chance to be in Nature often, and who wash in the river and eat fruits from their own garden know the positive electricity and magnetism they receive from that, can see what I am saying. For That is JAH, That is NETER. the things we take for granted: the rising and setting, the changes of seasons, are the exact things we shouldnt ignore for they are part of our being and we are part of theirs. Every full moon is the ripening of the earth, the seeding of the womb of Earth by the cosmos, what makes us think that we dont emit our own seeding of the heavens too?
what I am trying to say again, as I said before, Natural Law is not pagan or occult or taboo or disgusting or heresy or diving or simply "nature worship" as only the most intelligent of minds ever knew the Ancient Mysteries of the True Living Creator (Abba-Amma, Alpha-Omega). only the intelligent minds of today who feel the immortal spark of divinity within them know that there is only good to be had from overstanding who and what the true god is, and how to worship HIM and HER. yoga is popular now but how many will overstand the true principle of yoga and chakras? how many will see that the human body has an upsided down rainbow that mirrors the heavenly rainbow - as above so below? and that yoga and the purifying of the kundalini will open that cosmic connection to bring ascension to the soul? the science of Nature or the Life of Kristos is the language of Creator in Creation. everything that Kristos or Christ represents, is that awakening to true self within, so that one can create a better without.
And if you are still not seeing what I am saying, and believe that CHristianity is anything different than a HUGE CORRUPTION of KEMET FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENSLAVING THE WORLD, then I beg you to look at all their icons and symbols, their strong use of angels (elements), stars and suns in all artwork. Even Orthodoxy paintings.
The biggest lesson Ive learned is that CHristianity is based on the truth but it does not practice or preach it, and it is up to us as Rastafari to overstand that InI are closer to the truth than most, and we owe it to ourselves to keep goingback to First Creation Birth and Ital Living in the Mountains, so that InI can really connect to the Father-Mother and find Zion within. It is through Nature that love and peace and compassion arise. it is through feeling blessed by JAH that ones feel compelled to bless others and do good work - self accountability is the highest revelation, to know self as a creator being, a sun that has bring life to all it touches. to take your life into your own hands and live it to fullest in full awareness of all that this amazing world has to offer all its inhabitants. doesnt that sound better and more real than religion?
For Iyesus even says all I say here: the kingdom of heaven is within you! you are cosmic too and it is the whole point of his movement to unlock that spark of divinity within. True divinity to the ancients was linked to the cosmos, and being of the Akasha or Ethereal. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" "You know the Father through Me" Iyesus was patterned after Osiris, Heru, Dionysus, Bacchus, Mithras and other Archetypes of the Solar Man created over the centuries to keep the hidden knowledge of self-realization - birth, enlightenment, purification, resurrection. our point is not to "pray in Jesus name" but to find our owin Kristos or JAH within through Natural Law. Mosaic Law only puffs up an ego and increases a hopelessness in sin, if it is not balanced with love and overstanding of the true highest law which says "do good"
and likewise I want to show that His Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I serves this purpose, to inspire InI to know ourselves, to do good, to live right and not bow to wickedness and lies. to be accountable for self and always be willing to work hard for what is right and truth to balance male n female. It is not a contradiction to the King for I to bunn out religion for Natural Law,for He certainly abided in Natural law. His Majesty fulfills all the requirements of not only a Messianic King or Son of David in the literal interpretation (which has no real historical backing but Ethiopia) but cosmically as well since the Davidic king is the Sun or Son of. His Majesty's prophetical fulfilments in the Hebrew Scriptures still tell the truth of His Divinity even though His ancestors ideally are Iritual concepts rather than real people which proves even more that it is the WORD which lives on, the WISE MIND which creates the world and its operation. His Majesty, a real man and not myth, even aligns with the cosmic deities of mythos/religion. His birth, it's timing and circumstances, His character, His life's work and achievements, His Personality; all line up to Natural Law as personified in Iyesus Kristos and make it quite sound to identify HIM as the True and only Messiah. (all Gods are personified natural law so it is wrong to say gods arent men and women for they are, the Creator they represent is not, and therefore has to be personified to be understood)
Rastafari can only see these facts if we can put aside all the religious distractions and let the truth and history speak for themselves.
We have got to listen to Sankofa - return and get what was ours for our own sakes!
InI need to stop with the religion in Rastafari and focus on First Creation Birth - InI need to return to the past and relearn our own movement and Afrikan origins and overstand once again the true ancestral heritage we have reawakened in our own culture with Ital, dreadlocks, yoga, cleanliness, purification cycles, and our use of symbols like on the banners [black star, the colours of the rainbow (red gold green) and space/melanin], the star of david (As above so below!), the ankh - resurrection, birth, procreation, male n female natural law. All in all everything RasTafari do and adopt are rooted in Natural Law and it is time that InI get back to the root and grow new stronger branches that will produce much happier RasTafari people who are actually free from mental slavery and not fooling themselves with this "most holy" act.
I have learned my lesson and I am so grateful that JAH stopped the selfrighteous lies and misconceptions of monotheism before it was too late lol
what ive summarized you cand find in abundance online.
I
have been reading a lot but also watching lectures on youtube -I
encourage you to start as well! but I will post here videos which I
think give an excellent summary to the points I am trying to make. please watch everything you can find from these two men as they share an incredible wealth of knowledge you may not want to read in the books I keep mentioning.
Santos Bonnaci and Ray Haggins.
it is time to stop think know n feel what is right instead of blind faith
