The Cry for Justice. New Times with New Artwork! Ras Reasoning.

In the required precision of words in this time, InI had to take a time and meditate on the moment and thoughts that haven’t been said that could be a strength. I also am joyful to present new art that InI have produced in the last couple of months in conjunction.

At the Alter. Oil.

At the Alter. Oil.

We have globally entered a new time, and it is one that asks us to be more than we have ever been. The Covid-19 Pandemic challenged the politics and manipulation of words and truth. More of the World realized the power and weaknesses of being a world interlinked and somewhat reliant on each other. The ideas of rightwing governments clearly does contribute to a larger death rate than necessary. The wild conspiracies that have been unleashed fall apart easier because of the need for evidence in which there is none supporting the arguments, examples: that masks are political or that Antifa is behind the social unrest resulting in International Protests.  There is a need to express that though many are manipulating the narrative, Covid-19 is real, and it is important to realize that no matter who started it, it is a global threat and should be taken seriously.  What also needs to be taking seriously is learning opportunity that has been placed on the World to receive in order for humanity to evolve, concerning blatant racism, systematic racism, institutional racism, and environmental racism. All of these will come down to the methods of Empire, both modern and classical. The moment and timing may seem scripted or produced, keep in mind that the media’s job is to script and produce, it’s supposed to appeal to an entertainment quality not a accurate or true narrative. Journalism since its inception has strived, yet rarely achieves a non bias stance. Alright, next subject, True Liberation..

African Tears2:2020

African Tears2:2020

Rastafari as a movement is based in Black Liberation, it could be said that all faiths are based in liberation theology in order to have a liberating appeal and affect. Rastafari as a movement as diverse as we are, that realize that purpose of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I standing against Fascism and Colonialism, was that of a Spiritual war that attacked Foreign domination, resulting in the call for collective security, international morality and human rights. It was the moment when an African Voice would usher in a greater humanity if accepted. We look from an African perspective about ambitions that nations propose, and whether it is based on true unity or exploitation. For the most part, it seems that the methods of capitalism that most nations export is fostered on exploration of the poor and the destruction of the environment. Hence why looking at the treatment of the poor, who will be people of color in majority internationally will lead ones to conclude that attacking racism will conclude in the attacking of the foundation of capitalism and empire as we know it. Mystery Babylon.

HaileSelassieITyme.

There is difference between African American Political Science and Black Liberation, a difference between Political Pains and Prophetic Pain. What is happening within and around the Black Lives Matter movement is addressing the micro in the macro. Slowly the reasoning is expanding to the inherent relationship between Empires and the racism in many forms that exist locally where ever people live. It is not a solely American problem as international protests reveal, it is also not a new problem. When in my hometown of Albuquerque N.M. where a statues of Don Juan Onate were either forcefully removed or the removed by the city, reminded the world that racism was brought over by the Spanish, in which many were themselves were running from the Spanish Inquisition masking their Jewish identity. Sometimes in the case of Onate, the Spanish themselves found Onate to be a monster and told never to return to NM. The State has agreed, that it is backwards. Likewise the actual multi-national corporations that were involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade were not of one nation or nationality.  Extraordinary things are happening right now, as English Banks admit their guilt. Many corporations across the Earth as well as Banks are simply accepting that they have profited from Black Suffrage and want to make amends in some way. For the first time reparations are being spoken about in European countries that may result in action. Rastafari as a movement hold that Reparations, and Repatriation is part of the Redemption of Mankind. Being part of the process no matter where ones are from is a work for humanity at large and a Glory to God.

A Song for the Fire.

A Song for the Fire.

Though I am skeptical of ” Allies “, we indeed are a people that are all in the same boat and it is in truth that we will be better off as humanity working together. There is a great hypocrisy in the midst of the ignorance of the general United States population. Not to be condescending, coming from an African perspective, the United States is the Policeman that has had his knee on the neck of most of the world for decades. Except when Trump’s favorite dictators see dissent they use live bullets given by the United States to kill their citizens. The importance of the US citizens to be aware of the military industrial complex and the methods of control used by the super powers of the world, will conclude that there is no desire what so ever, to have accountability in the course of violent domination. Journalist as often seen as the enemy, and no one is exempt from being beaten. This was made very clear by Trumps Administration rejection of The International Criminal Courts investigation into human rights violations by US soldiers in Afghanistan on US soil. Afghan lives don’t matter to this government or the majority of its tax payers. The same Knee of the USA is on the necks of people of Yemen, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libyans, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Muslim Chinese, Haitians, Cubans, Venezuela, and many more where their lives are discarded and the US is majority responsible.  These proxy wars, and drone attacks and sanctions, result in mass numbers of innocent men, women and children dying. Europes and the United States Foreign Policy is based on Military strength and has taught other nations that the law is about domination. The illusion of ” Freedom ”  and “Democracy” and Human Rights are a vague concept to most the world, this is because it is usually the US or another foreign power/ corporation that exercises their will on that population to feed that entities needs. They buy warlords, mercenaries, and politicians. This is the status quo, it has been so for thousands of years.

It generic levitra regulates the copulation due to increment of stimulation which is absolutely wrong. But, chronic inflammation plays a role in heart disease and high cholesterol.
When I see the present day, the realities of how some are in totally different worlds are becoming more apparent. It has caused a great amount of introspection about how this can be addressed in a just way. There is no bad place to start when it comes to proper policing and governance, where ever it starts is positive, and that it is built on is even more crucial. We have heard ideas grow, and even enacted when it comes to defunding the police, ( which doesn’t mean eliminating policing). The history of why there is so many police, the drug war, and racism is all connected and should be looked at internationally as a form of a war on the poor, and also a reflection of their governments reliance of military power over peaceful forms of communication. There is a need for proper peace keepers to be empowered, and this is often where Spiritual meet Political. The call for Justice will only open up the serious wounds that are carried by indigenous people, it will also bring to light the global bias and disempowerment of women. As a human race, the fight for true equality and basic respect has only just begun, and no matter where the spring arises, it should be utilized to water as many plants as possible. We cannot forget that the fight for Justice and Rights is one that is rooted in Spiritual thought, and part of why Emperor Haile Selassie I presents so many solutions for the World to actualize. That this is a battle of Empire, a battle of the nature of what makes of the Kingdom of the Most High, or that of Babylon.

For Us as Rastafari, the way you see the Creator reflects about how you see yourself, and how the I see the I self, is how others will also see you. We are a reflection of an African King and Queen, and it is in the Order of the Conquering Lion of Judah, The King of Kings and the Queen of Kings we walk. Ethiopia is a beacon for the world to learn of perspectives and teaching that is not Euro-centric and yet also embracing of others. We see Earth as being both Heaven and Hell, and that this time was given as a challenge to live up to the Words of Emperor Haile Selassie I, that these are the last days of Babylon and that the Root of David, The Lion and the Lamb have already come to prepare us for this day and the days to come. Let the Earth be cleansed, and restored, as well as Our Hearts and Minds.

I would like to thank everyone who collaborated in the visions and the art itself. 4 Joy-tings are collaborations with others, and that is super cool and special. I also have received many ideas from others that I have put into the art. Thank you everyone for the support and strength. You will be mentioned with the piece!

Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

“Christ On the Rock “Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

This is the first piece I did after I received a surgery on my spine. It was an interesting point, because I had to see if my motor skills were good after having my spinal cord decompressed. This would allow my nerves to work on my left side of my body which had been giving me problems. The Joy-ting was that. The feeling of doing the stretches involved in painting and feeling muscles work again was what I needed. The Joy-ting came out with ease and effortless. A too effortless, and that is why I decided to put a more dramatic background than I previously had. My son’s and I worked on it together and made a video about painting techniques. You can check it here.  Ras Elijah Painting   The first canvas came out lovely after the surgery and it was time keep up the works. The Original was sold to Mr. Greg Tate and I thank him for the huge support in the efforts to make the art spawn the vision to reality.

" From Heart To Mouth " by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20"x28"

” From Heart To Mouth ” by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20″x28″

This piece is for a special upcoming project, to be announced..It was a very heights project, that focuses on Rastafari. Here Emperor Haile Selassie  I is shooting energy into the Lion Man on the Earth. His Imperial Majesty shooting it from the Orb is to show that is the Energy of the Earth and the Fullness there-of which is that The Lord shoots into him. Out of the Lion Man’s mouth is the river that flows through the gentle land scape of New Mexico, symbolizing the Words of the Rastaman. Dre-Z took the lead with this piece and made the landscape perfect for New Mexico. His pueblo design is great and colors captured the New Mexican tierra perfectly. Likewise composition and layout was Dre-Z at the lead. This is the second Joy-ting we have worked on together, looking forward to lots more. The triangle designs are a traditional native design once again brought by Dre-Z. We would like to also give InI daughter, Tana Tafari-Morgan a hail up for painting in the pyramids. The original is available and prints as well.  http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/from-heart-to-mouth-by-dre-z-melodi-and-ras-elijah-tafari/

" Ethiopia, Lifts the World." By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas.

” Ethiopia, Lifts the World.” By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas. Original sold, prints available.

This piece is the 3rd I have done with Dre-Z Melodi. It is for a very special upcoming project…Placed on a New Mexico landscape, it goes with the last piece. This piece says          ” Ethiopia ” in Amharic, in a whirlwind. On the Whirlwind are the ancestors praying and singing for our resurrection and transcendence throughout the rising times. Seven Priests in Black represent each of the Seals placed on the Book, and the 9 priests below represent the everlasting order of Melchizadok.  The Man and Woman are the Balance of the Earth in their decision to use the Fire and Heart of His and Her Majesty to fly like hot air balloons but higher.  In their levitation/ livication to the King and Queen of Kings they are able to be the purple lotus. The lotus symbolize the Royal Children of Jah that have not been forsaken in the mud and moss, but grow like beauty for ashes. The Power of the Heart illustrated by Dre-Z goes off the page to reach out to go beyond the image. This is the most detailed I have gone into painting the Crowns of His and Her Majesty, Haile Selassie the First and Empress Asfaw Menen.  St. George is proudly shown on His Crown as is The Madonna on Her Crown. This piece has been spoken for, however prints look good and are available. This piece hasn’t been seen till today and we are excited to see this get out to the World!

In the Name of the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God.
Jah Rastafari, Haile Selassie I.

This is one of the most serious pieces I have done and the experience and meditation taught I. Praise Jah.
Prelude: It was after the Afrikin Conference in Miami when I received a phone call from, one of the producers of Akae Beka’s music, Mr. Bonitto, known as Ebna “Naciamaj Uhuru” Makonnen. Head of Rastar Records. He was moved and encouraging and spoke of how Akae Beka knew all this would happen. That he left works and mediations, as well as message. The Message was the “Reasons” or 411. I listened to what the Rastaman said, Genesis (Bereshith) 4;11, Psalms 9 (Tehillim) 114 and Revelations 11;4. I noticed that the numbers where in sync with the day Akae Beka transcended, and I inquired, ” did Akae Beka know the date?” his response was ” does that sound like I, he knew, and he wrote a book and has left a message to decipher. He also said he wanted this song released that Akae Beka and Ras Elyement created. Called ” Evah Loving Jah “. Read the verses and draw…it will come to you.” …and so it began..
The Scroll of ” Reasons “:
This is a map of humanity and it a specific vein, and view.. It begins with a War in Heaven, where angels fell and angels rose. The angels sketched in the scroll are as seen in the mural Emperor Haile Selassie I had created in His University of H.I.M. on His Throne and Babylon weeping as Angels are at War in the background. It is perhaps the most powerful Mural/ fresco ever painted.The War in Heaven in where it started and is written on in the Book of Enoch. The Scroll then has on each side a tree that is a Genetic strand of the Tree of “R” Life and the Tree of “X” Knowledge. The tree’s are markers in the history of Biblical brothers that have had conflicts that would alter the future.It then begins on Earth as Abel and Cain. As I draw out the brothers I reflect on Genesis Chapter 4 verse 11. “Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.”…A polar reality had entered the Earth, one which altered the genetics of man and mankind. One where in time the term “brothers” would be symbolic and applied to nations as bredren. This family line would morph into evolutions of jealously and deception. What I found interesting and profound was as I mapped out each brother, I came to Abraham, and remembered that Akae Beka had asked the same questions, ( last hour, Oregon show 2015 I think) where he asked about was it right, Issac being chosen over Ishmael, was Sarah right and Haggar wrong,..was it fair..this would birth a whole philosophy that is the foundation of Islamic Abrahamic views…It was a judgement that was made that InI certainly couldn’t condone, without seeing through Jah’s eyes for thousands of years. You may also see two mysterious people linked to Issac and Ishmael, these are the 2 brothers not followed in Bible, and are links to others books, and histories including India. The Genetic chain continues to Moses and Aaron whom had different conflicts, and again the younger brother would lead. It would take days to go into the all the ways that each story of these brothers would reflect two opposite views that through the Scriptures reflect mankind personal and national struggles. What I learned is like Jacob, many actions by each side is intermixed. Jacob, though would be the father of Israel, was full of distrust and distain. As a thief, I drew him holding onto his brothers heal. There is a Yin and Yang effect and more. There is good in the bad and bad in the good, it is bigger than that. It would reach a peak with King Solomon’s Sons.

According to the “Kebra Negast” Solomon had three sons, One would destroy Israel (Rehobam), and one that went to Rome (Jerobam) . Though Ethiopia and Rome after this point would be known as a brother to its sister Italy, however they are brothers in that same view and continued in that step for hundreds of years. Menelik, only Son of the Queen of Sheba would establish Ethiopia as Judah and Zion. After both nations had become Christian nations that we would see them in battle with each other, including about Christianity theology and which books to promote, in its debates established the Orthodox Church separate from the Catholic Church. There is a clear clash and Rome wanted to be Ethiopia literally rather than symbolically. (See. Kebra Nagast “Concerning the King of Rômê and the King of Ethiopia”) . They sought to colonize Ethiopia first in 1896 and later in 1936.
Upon the Coronation of the King of Kings, We witnessed That Which Had Always Been and Always Will Be Elected the Body of Emperor Haile Selassie I and Empress Asfaw Menen as Its perfect representatives. Through their genetics they have linked both sides of the tree’s and have the Ark Angels by them historically and in present. Hence why The Emperor in His Peaks has the mountain presence of Ark Angel Michael and the Ark Angel Gabriel. H.I.M. and .H.I.M. (His Imperial Majesty and Her Imperial Majesty) joined the blood of King David, and Prophet Mohammed PBUH, continuing the Oldest Monarchy and Christian Kingdom on Earth with the Power of the Ark of the Covenant with the Legacy of the instructions Ark Angels. This was the gem of the Earth that many nations coveted, and after participating in the First Solomonic Coronation in 1930, first witnessed by the World and upon hearing His New Name, Emperor Haile Selassie I is Earth’s Rightful Ruler, and The Conquering Lion of Judah, Light of the World, Root of David and King of Kings, many nations began plotting against H.I.M. which would change the Earth as it was known.

Psalm 114 KJV ” When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

The Spiritual and Physical bondage of the African Man , Women and Child has been the motive for a renewed people for along time. The idea’s of Egypt due to bondage in the West has made it polarized yet part of the prophecy. For Egypt has been in bondage for the last 2500 years while Ethiopia has been free until invaded for 5 years in 1936. When in 1930, Ethiopia had publicly stretched forth Her Hands Unto God and All Nations heard that Emperor Haile Selassie I is the Conquering Lion of Judah. Psalms 87, Revelations 5;5. In 1936 when Italy attacks, a spiritual awakening to the World happens as a Powerful Christian Empire drops bombs on the Oldest Christian Country who are defenseless. It was witnessed in its gruesomeness as the Red Cross was bombed with all races attacked and burned on film. Due to the disease of Racism and inaction, the warnings made in Geneva were ignored and the World fell into World War 2. The Africans across the Earth would see Haile Selassie I as their Father and they as Princes to come out of Egypt. The death of Mussolini is a time marker and reminder of the fate that no one saw coming for Fascism’s head, as the reality of collective security was realized and His Imperial Majesty was restored to the Throne.

The relevance to the verse in Psalm 114 to the ” Reasons” now are such, remember Moses, and remember his transcendence revealed that Jah People were enabled though he brought His Security and see Joshua will raise them to find direction through guidance. As waters move and mountains skip so That Which Always Was and Always Will Be is given and turn rocks into water. The Heads of Leaders are mountains, and sometimes they skip out. However Haile Selassie I stays and the Earth Trembles at the Presence of God.

The Image Below His Imperial Majesty speaking to the League of Nations, reflects the period of 1945 to 1974 and the building of The United Nations. The sudden death of President Roosevelt left a gaping hole between the poor nations and the old money of colonial nations. The USA was supposed to be a middle man so to speak as it was a new country and didn’t see a future in colonialism or world war..this was until President Truman who followed. After dropping the first Nuclear weapons he changed the reality and power objectives and agendas of the USA and the World. This would slow the importance and weight of the United Nations from inception, and would pose a bigger problem that would be addressed as “Human Rights” in the streets and the emergence of the Separate body founded by Emperor Haile Selassie I as well called the Organization for African Unity, now the A.U. During these 29 years between 1945 and 1974 the world witness the emergence of over 74 free nations many of them due to His Imperial Majesties Collective Efforts. You may see a small figure walking up the stairs with an X as a shadow and that is Malcolm X when he was in Ethiopia and was given direction to create the O.A.A.U. During this period Co-intel-pro and secret clandestine missions were exploding is reaction to a new world that wanted rights and representation. The Military industrial complex was in full effect. As nations fought for freedom, war became a monopolized method of building economy and determined as necessary by Western powers. Arms races and competition for control became a neo colonial force that would use capitalism as a weapon. The powers of the Eagle, Dragon and Bear carried out their plan. This would mark a new period, which is from 1974 after Atse Haile Selassie I disappeared.

The Part has the words ” Red Terror” on a wall representing the “War in Zion” that spread across the Earth, and the protesters became fewer. The period of the late 70′s and 80′s was a resurgence in genocide and extermination through multiple avenues. Ethiopia experienced terrible suffering and wickedness of the Earth that had reached her gates. The birth rate begins to decrease , and prison rates soar. Individualism becomes the new religion. One Island becomes louder for their call for Justice and Human Rights, that is Jamaica with the Voice of Bob Marley, also known as Berhane Selassie who would create International explosion of Rastafari minded and centered youth. This voice would be a witness and reminder to where we must go, and as a collective Jamaica became the voice of a dispersed Beta Israel that wailed the message of Moses. A message that was united in the Spirit of Christ as Christ was united with Moses in Mathew 17, Bob Marley would become an Olive Tree and Lighthouse. Years later, The Solomonic Dynasty would speak about how Rastafari people and Bob Marley lit a fire for the World and Ethiopia to remember what they stood for, and respect the Power and Purpose of The Conquering Lion of Judah. Rastafari would evolve and live the Ethiopianist and Pan African perspectives making them reality in any opportunity presented.

As the 80′s becomes the 90′s the International Snakes have formed a globalist movement of control using banks, oil and fear to strangle the Earth. The beginning of Climate change is felt and it is approaching Midnite. It is now the Early 90′s and technology is exploding. The beginning of a new era has begun and the Band Midnite has been created. At this point is when Vaughn Benjamin began teaching and witnessing of the Greatness of Our God and King, and expanded on the teachings and meanings of all of creation and its relationship with the King. He would open out the inner and outer, and the reasons for polarity. The Bridges build and broken, and the Ancestors within. He would elaborate about the planets and the moon’s reflecting the face of Emperor Haile Selassie I, and that Woman holds, carries and reflects the King within. In that time Vaughn Benjamin unceasingly worked and taught, and made families all across the Earth, that became strong and built together. People across the Earth began rising up, Ethiopia toppled the Communist DERG.

Into the 2010′s enters the period of self reflection and revolution internationally. In 2012, Ras Sadiki-I has a vision from Jah and goes to Ethiopia to speak to the Guardian Monk in Axum Keeper of the Ark of the Covenant. He shares the vision and the Guardian Monk speaks with the Creator and allows him to paint the fence but explains in order for the dome to be fixed, he must build a new church to hold the Ark of Covenant. Ras Sadiki-I accepts and is the only person to be baptized by the Guardian Monk, who welcomes him as his son. The Ras would call on the Ras of the Earth to come together to build the new church. The Church was completed in 2015 and symbolized a collective effort to build the Body of Humanity. The last Ones to build the Church or temple for the Ark was Emperor Haile Selassie I and Empress Asfaw Menen. The Biblical and Spiritual importance of they building The Body of Christ which is what the Church symbolize, The Ark is the Heart and the Commandments the Living God in Ones Heart. The importance of fixing the Head or Dome, and rebuilding something new, from us all collectively is long and worthy mediation. I choose to use a real photo for this part only to venerate the reality of it and that this is a new photo, one where you can now see the dome of St. Mary’s of Axum being repaired. Which also means the Ark of the Covenant was moved recently, to the Church next door, which you can see.

This period in which marks 2015 till now, it is when the name Akae Beka is heard and seen for the first time in Human History. It is now past Midnite and the hour glass of time is broke. Waters are rising, and the storms are coming. Amist this Akae Beka stands and those who are his producers stand and circle around him. They are symbolized as suns that orbit around Akae Beka. The Beginning and End are all present in the Book of Enoch in which we are in the middle of. In a multiple of witness formats, he creates more than 72 albums, combined with written word and poetry. He teaches of His Imperial Majesty being announced by Christ and more. He reminds the people of the Words of John 16, and sings of being a lampstand, or a lighthouse. He explored the inversions of names and letters and pointed it out ever where, and well as the Name of YWH, of the Trinity on Everything. It was pre written. And as a olive tree and lighthouse he is drawn, which leads us to Revelations 11;4. “These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

As Berhane Selassie was voice and movement of Moses, so it is for sure That Akae Beka is the voice and movement of Enoch/Elijah/ Eliah..(Haile). In the Quran, Elijah and Enoch are the same person. The name becomes translated into Idris, and contemporarily means “Student”. It is because he is the first student of Jah that was taken to the Heavens and came back to Earth and they see the same movements from Elijah. That the Ark Angels spoke and directed Enoch, wrote for him. Today the Arabic word for School/University is linked to this teaching, “Madrassa” from Idris or D-R-S.

InI are his students and Akae Beka is our voice in his Song. Many feel the same about Berhane Selassie. There are two witnesses.

As Emperor Haile Selassie I is Our King of Kings in this time and forever more, So is Iyesus Christos, who stands forever with Lord of Hosts and with the Oath of Michael the Ark Angel, as Akae Beka. An Unchanging Covenant. The Alpha and Omega. That which forever was, is, and will be. Evah Loving Jah.

Praise Jah!

In the Name of the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God. Jah Rastafari, Haile Selassie I.

A Glimpse of the New Artworks and Visions.

Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I. Thank you for visiting the site!  As an Artist who feels that his work is never done, it is joy to express in a creative manner the visions that are given to or thru InI. One’s call or write regularly with their dreams and visions of the Emperor and Empress, and ask if I can materialize a visual rendition. It always has a life of its own and there is a special insight to paying attention and meditating on the message being shared with InI and for I to share properly. If you would like something made, don’t hesitate to link, either here or lionartproductions@gmail.com.

Here are some of the new works, pencils, inks and joy-tings that are in there own stages of development and will have color added. On top of the books I am working on, I feel that it would be fun and simple to make a Rastafari Coloring Book. I have the material and there is a lot more to come. Just one of many meditations. In the book, I was thinking of having a quote on each page from The Emperor. If it sounds like something you would like to collaborate on please let InI know. BLESSED LOVE! Hail the King and Queen. Rastafari.

AKAE BEKA COMING TO NEW MEXICO, A MOMENTOUS OCCASION. DEC. 16TH!

AKAEBEKATAOS

Before Auto tune, Before dancing singers there was ROOTS REGGAE, Before there was Hip Hop, before there was Reggae there was Nyabinghi. Nyabinghi and the sound of the Heart is imperative in understanding Roots Reggae and the prophetical experience that has been part of an Oral legacy handed down by Major Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah,  and Iyesus the Christ. When speaking of Akae Beka, and previously as Midnite, in his own words, ” Isiah wasn’t an entertainer.” When looking at the difference of musicians rarely will you find one that is a voice in the wilderness that cries both warnings and insights into the realms of Jah.

Some will call his “fans” cult followers due to our love and honor of the man, Vaughn Benjamin. If Cult is short for Culture, I have no problem with that. His change of name to Akae Beka will inspire thousands to read the book of Enoch and think about the meanings and messages. He music demands ones read in order to be educated, both religious works as well as secular and to choose the right. He brings to attention the call to be ONE and unchanging in our oath to the Creator. Few reach the heights he calls us to look at in reference to who we are and can be. His coming to New Mexico is a momentous occasion and one that will bring together the Children of the King and Queen of Kings. I my short life, I have never have I seen the magnetic pull and words to bring a sound of truth so liberating that I have to be there..It is beyond a joy, his words bring peace and inspiration to that which makes I create. If my art had a sound track it would be his poetry. I and many rank him as the greatest poet that has ever lived, and though it may take refinement, when ones actually hear what he is saying no one uses words more carefully and eloquently. We get entangled into the sound of sharp and healing tones and often miss the sober and serious recognitions of the time and call he brings. The show in Taos Sunday, Dec. 16th will be historic in our common bond that Emperor Haile Selassie I has been placed in our lives to be a beacon and light, a personal call from Himself and from the four corners of the Earth.  One that many have submitted to, and to be in the presence of those, is to be in the presence of Greatness. It is those who are humble enough to sit and know that on the streets, we know who is for us, we have allies, through Jah, Akae Beka across the Earth has been there in the sticks. In New Mexico, 9 Albums have been made for Midnite to Akae Beka. It is through the hard work of so many that it all comes together. Big Up and thank you to everyone who has helped and nurtured good relations. Thank Roots and Wire, Jerry and company, FifthSon Records, and Dre-Z Melodi and company ( you know who you are!).   It is Our honor to Salute the whole Crew and each other in acknowledgment that Jah is with us, let us do His work.  Haile I, Selassie I, Jah Rastafari.

Here are a few pieces that done in honor of the Emperor, Our Jah and King, and those who are singers and players of instruments of Zion. All I Springs are in thee.

” Art Flares in the Winter ” Newest Paintings and Originals.

Like a camp fire in winter, there are flames that resist the cold. In this time, it takes remarkable effort to not comment on the number of things that deserve comment. When being an artist, there is an intimate part of us that is silent and quiet, because our voice is thru our art. I meditate using art and tap into socially responsible subjects and issues, mindful that people need a healing. When creating, making art for a few is short sighted, making art for all including yourself is the big picture. When painting, I have multiple techniques and love combining styles, in which I will share some examples, beyond that is the effort into telling a story that in its repetition only grows. Part of that is making it so each inch is its own painting, there is a desire to make composition complete in micro ways. When viewing the art, choose any corner or piece of a painting and see that it is its own abstract piece. The healing is in the intention and the colors, it is in the desire to have order and chaos exist in a manner of harmony and contrast.

There are some paintings I cannot show at this point because they are being used for some great future Albums that are for a number of great musicians. It won’t be long, and there are some really cool pieces that are under wraps. Here are some of the newest works. I would also like to add that these originals are for sale, any and all sales are greatly appreciatloved. There will be discounts on prints this month as well, and I will be letting you know soon.

Oil on Canvas

Beginning of Fall. Reflections of the times. Oil paintings.

As the seasons change and winter approaches the landscapes reformat in many ways. In a mediation and in a change I decided to paint with Oils and to see how the technique was comforting to the desire to have more time. When working with Oil paint, I found certain relief I haven’t found from any other medium, that relief was that I didn’t have to rush, before it dried. I wasn’t racing against time, and it opened up another mind warp.

I like moving quick, I think we all do, but when we are forced to slow down, then we can see what can be appreciated subtly. I also saw how a joy-ting (painting) can change as it dries and comes into self.  I also had a few laughs about how fragile an oil painting is, and that one has to be careful not to make a smeary mess. I also wanted to only work with primary colors in order to really get to know the moods of oils. I have many colors but won’t open them till I understand how to make my own variations from the primary. It is about earning it, I guess, kinda like spray cans, you don’t get the outline cap till you master the stock cap. That way you will be only better when you have the options and high caliber arsenal.  I hope you enjoy the series.

Lessons from Art: Soulful Reminisces: plus new works!

It is a joy to present the newest works, they have been an especially vibrant experience. Sometimes they take much longer and others much shorter. No matter, an artists listens to the painting in order to fully be present and in confidence of what they are creating to be true to self. In InI case “self” is Us, and that is why this is called ” Soulful Reminisces. ”

I have to remember many of you reading haven’t personally met me, and it seems funny when I meet people who don’t know my life is art. Its like they haven’t heard me speak and they think they know me…To the point, Love is Life, Life is Art, Art is Revolution, Revolution is what you make it…but you will come to where you began..and will hopefully remember who you really are.  I have been painting for longer than I can remember and it is inborn. I work everyday on it, and it takes hours of stillness and thought on top of technique to create good art.  Love and sacrifice are intertwined, if you won’t suffer for it and work hard you don’t really love it. Art has been an amazing journey for InI, and it Itinues to become Joy-tings more than Pain-tings, it has also opened up many ways of thinking about life differently.

1. Important lesson art has taught InI: Babylon wants us to compete, and to conform to their ideas of beauty as well as detail, they are obsessed with details, to be a true artist, we have to stop creating for anyone other than Our Highest Vision of The Creator. This means simply, that is about doing what you never thought you could in contrast to making something that is a replica of something else. It means that your not trying to make the most photo real piece, that you aren’t as concerned about exacts, you allow art to be free. You don’t want to be someone else, you aren’t competing with anyone.

2. Once we have stopped competing are you ready to make art that has a place in substance and its form is awkward. How ok are you with awkward…? Art makes ones comfortable and uncomfortable, it is an experience where the process is more awkward that not, being that the finished product took many phases of not being complete before one can get to that place of saying “yes”. It that process sometimes the message and substance trumps the visual attractiveness that ones would like to see when they are relaxing. What about when it doesn’t matter, and all that matters is the message, as an artist can you be uncomfortable and still comfortable in a job well done in its delivery. Telling the story well is more important than the cameras used to film it…

3. Being Free means being free! it also means that not knowing is ok, and that having faith that the answers will come in time is crucial. As Sound is the Father of Music so are The Vibrations the Mother of art.  Sound and Vibrations do not have a responsibility to be harmonious to you, they do not have to have a rational. It is up to us to see what is somewhat understandable and be a vehicle of the voice of the erratic. Art is about liberation and when it comes to the methods, being free mentally allows one to take art to a spiritual level. To be able to allow the Most High to speak to you through your meditation and openness. Allowing oneself to be a vessel and ear of Jah, and to be a soulful dreamcatcher. Making room for waves and patterns that correspond to a sense of identity that is rich and hidden deep below a surface. When you get there, it is a bountiful place with eyes of ancestors peering at you from a canvas that has always stared from within, but now, it is there for the world to stare at and consider its expression.

With that here are the newest pieces, I hope you enjoy. If you see something you like, remember the name and simply message InI that you would like a print.

This piece was a pure joy to create, I spend as much time staring at it as painting it. It was a reasoning piece, which means it tells Iman what it wants to be as well. I don’t tell it how or what it should be and work with the painting in mutual cooperation that all works must glorify the King of Kings. Personally I love this piece, and it has a special place.

24x 30 ” Acrylic, Indian Ink and little gold, it is titled “Father and Son.” It is about the relationship that The Creator has with humanity and His Desire to see us take care of each other. Holding the shepherd staff the Father gives His Blessing to His Son to take care of His sheep. The Hands lifting up in the contrast of black and white on the colorful background, signifies balance and completion that was gifted by The Heavens. I still wonder if I should paint the staff with gold paint…you let me know as well…its all about listening.  This piece is currently going for 500 for the Original, and is likely to go up in value soon. Prints are available and you can get them here!.. http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/the-father-and-son/
