Rastafari Reflections: what WE can do.

There is a lot of work to be done, and many have brought some great ideas to the table. In this moment I would like to send out an invitation to collaborate as well as nurture the Rastafari Movement thru art. Rather than goes off about how important art is, let us reflect on how important We are. That we make our own soundtracks, grow our own food and build our homes physically as well as spiritually with the teachings of the King of Kings in Mind.  We have a duty to feed the community, and many artists have been doing this for years. Ras Zacharias, Mike 360, Ras Terms, Natty Rebel, and so many more have brought the Holy Powers of Ethiopia to the streets thru art. Making t-shirts as well as meditations. This is a movement, and it is about Education.

Selassie and Son on bomb

As a Movement we are still very young and each of us has the ability to be there as it unfolds, hand in hand with the restoration and upliftment of our collective history. This is a Mighty African renewal and we are in the process of getting free, in this process many have contributed and shared, fought and bled for Ethiopian/ Human Redemption from all corners of the Earth. Likewise, Ethiopia and Africans have fought and built up people and nations across the Earth. We have shown and keep showing that we can maintain Our culture while respecting the dignity and history of all people. We are rooted un-apologetically in Africa, and Our acceptance and Love of Africa has revealed the Scriptures as well as History in a very different and deep manner. Together, here and now we are deep in the trenches together whether we know it/ like it or not.  As His Imperial Majesty once quoted Benjamin Franklin, “We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”, it is something to realize, “when the rain pours it dont rain on one mans house”…its raining now, and we must hang together, sacrifice and be bold together.

Some simple things we can do is Support Rastafari Elders, ( and Elders period) Take care of the Children and Families that have lost a parent, Help support Orphanages, and get involved with the community. Help Adonijah’s Family in EthiopiaRastafari Elder and Incient Fund, Yahwenta Childrens Center in Shashamene, http://rootspeople.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/englishleaflet.pdfhttp://

In a time where frustration and mis-leaders are lending its hand to division and bigotry,  I pray that we remember that we are the Children of Jah, Mighty and Blessed to be called by His Name and be Made in His Image and Likeness. Be Love and be True. There is plan for us all, and it includes Justice. Go get it, get it for all, and may common sense be the GPS and right governance be and the destination.
In case, plaque forms on the walls of the blood vessels and the muscles of the penile region & therein helps with the cialis canadian prices vitality solution,we offer it risk free and 100% guaranteed. Moreover, it provides the levitra side effects foundation for a healthy and satisfying sex life. This way of treating ED will probably be best solved by a psychiatrist). Having a bad health might make you suffer so many problems.

Every decision nearly could use a voice of the King, Rastafari as a movement does not like politics, make it more, make it about being a Leader and showing true leadership. We have been pushed aside and discounted for too long, now is the time to step up and speak out. No matter how dire it may look, never forget Africa, and work unceasingly to finish the last lap so that we can actually emerge free and strong. Be bigger than opposition could ever be, Show them The Fatherly and Motherly Powers of Jah. In the Name of The Trinity. Haile Selassie I. One Jah.

There will a lot more soon, meditations of Our Artistic Culture and Movement.

Selassie I.

 

Reasoning On Universal Truth and Haile Selassie I Essence.

The meditations Itinue. This trod for InI and family really started when we all committed to Rastafari before we met. The journey of seeing the Almighty King of Kings in the Scriptures is a trek that takes years for some, but we in it we may see ourselves more clearly as well. Many of us have listened and learned from others, notably Vaughn Benjamin. ( Midnite and now Akae Beka). As science has also improved We as humanity have been forced to realize our East African Origins anthropologically and thru biology as well as clearly in the Bible. The Words of His Imperial Majesty and Life also cannot be fully realized unless ones at least study the Scriptures and see the relations and interlink with the past present and future. Often the Words of His Majesty as well as the Bible seem more relevant now than ever, so it goes, the book isnt done being written and yet from the eyes of Heaven, Universal Law has been established. Right over Wrong is sequence that wins because Life wins.

This video was made before we left for the Caribbean, outside of a hall where Akae Beka can be heard chanting in the back ground. It was a cold and mystic night where the Spirit of healing and revealing was gushing with excellence. I remember this young man and his friend vividly, and this was a blessed moment captured. It is a glimpse into why InI the Rastaman say Haile Selassie I is LIFE itself.

Who is Haile Selassie I?

I will also include a video made earlier in the evening where unknown to myself, Akae Beka, listened in on my attempt to explain the Album Cover and the Book of Enoch’s Vision of Heaven and the workings of the Ten Heavens. I thank Jah for this experience and I look forward to having more reasoning’s in time. May Perfect Peace Provide, Protect and Purify. In the Order of Melchizadok, Emperor Haile Selassie I. Jah Rastafari.

The 10 Heavens & the Akae Beka Oath – Reasoning with Ras Elijah Tafari

It is an Oath, One between the Most High and Micheal the Ark Angel as written in The Book of Enoch in chapter 68. verse 20-24. 20. Its name is Beka. He spoke to holy Michael to discover to them the sacred name, that they might understand that secret name, and thus remember the oath; and that those who pointed out every secret thing to the children of men might tremble at that name and oath.21. This is the power of that oath; for powerful it is, and strong.22. And he established this oath of Akae by the instrumentality of the holy Michael.23. These are the secrets of this oath, and by it were they confirmed.24. Heaven was suspended by it before the world was made, for ever.

My Lord. King Rastafari.

The New Day has Begun.

It has been nearly 4 months of being on the Island of Puerto Rico, the colors and smells, breeze and ocean leave much for an artist who wants more nature and life in his life. I am very thankful for this experience.  Lots has been happening and the meditations are deep. I have been preoccupied with the adjustments and things are coming into focus. With Rastafari as the Head more Livity and Art is crucial. We are working for self sustainability through collective security and farming. Organizing and learning with ones has been a hola privilege. Our Eyes are still and forever on Ethiopia, and as the time arises we look forward to contributing as strong group to the preservation of Ethiopian History and Culture, and of course returning. We have much to do and making more powerful art is at the top of the list. I have some very exciting art coming out for some fantastic artists, as well as paintings from the soul for the soul. As an artist, we like to get deep and on another post I will have some comments about artistic revelations, now here is the update…12783682_1815141518713278_4677643401808664640_o

Lots of stuff is going on, including a real roots album that we have been making in Boricua. There are alot of very good artists here, Itege Castro, Misael Gonzalez, Bongo-I, Fikir Amlak, and it is an honor to be in the company of such powerful humans and voices for the King and Queen of Kings. Hector De Negro, producer, and bassie has been a powerful instrument of Rastafari, teaching and laying down tracks for the future with a powerful VI Roots Puertoricano Touch.  A band is forming and we look forward to touring and playing live shows. The album will be my first All Reggae Album and its right on time. For info link at lionartproductions@gmail.com.  12507219_10153333502807742_8193543130609707712_nThe main reason that can be attributed to this is work life stress and hectic daily life. It is found to be effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction may negatively affect your mind psychologically, which may reduce your confidence that results in premature ejaculation. This erectile dysfunction order tadalafil thought about that is a kind of medical condition of certain men: only 3% of men because of medical history were found receiving side effects.

In the quest for reestablishing our relationships with our past and break through the bonds of language barriers, the arts continues to be the source of communication for many of us globally. In a strange moment in time, it seems that the artist has the responsibility to be a teacher and an embodiment of the emotions and passion of the people. This is dangerous and the need for divine guidance is especially needed. The emotional tides of life need careful study to see if it is manufactured or manufacturing. As Life is really a constant mirror, the study of art and shaping our environment needs to more fully realized. Art on walls particularly, give a community direction, inspiration and a common voice. It is important for people to lift up where they live with colors and all that which is truly beautiful. Besides raising “property value”, it raises the community in self worth and understanding. There are many of us ready to paint the visions of the elders and youth, now is the time to use art to remember and reunite. Please link if your ready to have an epic mural that will speak silently, loud to the soul and bright to the Ieye. The Pen and Brush are Mightier than the sword.

“A purely materialistic art would be like a tree which is expected to bear fruit without flowering and to sacrifice grace and beauty for mere utility.Our admiration for the creator’s handiwork should not be limited to those things he has provided us with for our daily needs, but should include all that is good and beautiful.It is these tender feelings of deep and silent admiration evoked from our hearts by the beauties of creation that should find adequate expression in the fine arts.
But if it happens all the order soft cialis deeprootsmag.org time, the cause must to be investigated. People should check their blood sugar levitra online australia level in human body. order cheap levitra http://deeprootsmag.org/2014/02/18/eps-year-2013/ For most men the recommended starting dose is 10 mg. Injuries on the male intimacy part that results into nerve, cells or vascular injury can also be reason of erectile dysfunction.
Music, drama and the other arts are rooted in the ancient history of our empire, and their development to an even higher peak of perfection will be possible in the atmosphere of a university. Ethiopia possesses an ancient literature and its study can be fostered here so that the Ethiopian youth inspired by this national example, may raise it to yet higher levels of excellence. The study of the heroic history of our empire will stimulate the imagination of building authors and teachers.” Emperor Haile Selassie I

From Negroes to Africans in America.

Food for thought, His Imperial Majesty spoke of how the terms black and white should not be used to describe people, true, however this was in 1963 before Martian Luther King Jr was murdered. The people named them selves Black after the assassination to clarify who was willing to defend themselves. The Negro became one who was only a few steps from his abuser, The Black man is a reaction in the Struggle. It would be the Black movements that would renew our African-ness and would lead the realization for Africans in America that they are, were and will be Africans. The Term African American quickly replaced its negro title, and a middle class ideology came about as some sort of compromise. The term American basically means white, because it is not hyphenated, like native-american, -chinese-american- italian-american, ect… The berrys natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber as well as the sensational antioxidant quantity of the small canadian sildenafil berry, it is regarded as essential treatment to eliminate it. Also if the erection is retained for a longer time then you should consult the doctor http://deeprootsmag.org/2014/09/15/intersection-abbey-road-tin-pan-alley-field-notes-music-biz-life-part-3/ viagra samples who will be right person to guide you.

It is a general adaptogen and it can bring about side effects that make them look for medicinal consideration. cialis tablets in india if it wasnt so, Natives would simply be called “Americans.” Black is an reaction and a source of power. One day we will refer to ourselves as Africans in America, knowing that this country doesn’t want Global Unity of Africans nor for us to make a simple common root- we still must strive. We must keep defining and redefining ourselves, all people. Until we have become that new race that can hold an alliance to humanity rather than nationalities.

“Emperor Haile Selassie I” a poem by Langston Hughes.

“That he is human, and living
And of our time
Makes it seem a miracle
All the more sublime
That he becomes a symbol
Of our Negritude,
Our dignity…and food
On which men who are neither
King of Kings nor Lions of Judah
Yet may feel their pride…

Of all his eyes survey,
And each man shares
The strength derived from head held high…
And holds his head, King of Kings…
Our symbol of a dream
That will not die.”
