Blast from the Past

At a certain point, I found it almost pointless to continue writing on this blog because I've been away from for so long. But after reading my entries, I realized that my writing was and is such a strong vehicle for catharsis that it matters not the time nor the place when I have time to intimate my thoughts that are meaningful. My life as we speak has been through so many phases that I care not to recount everything at this time. I'm just writing to say how grateful I am for the gift of life. Life has been such a perfect mirror for my thoughts and reflections. I understand now more than ever that the more authentic I am to my voice and vision, the more blessings are bestowed upon me and others that I love. I remain diligent to focus on the things that uplift and not detract from higher livity. As we all step into the new Gregorian year of 2019 but more importantly into this Winter Solstice, I humble myself to the energies that seek to transform this life into a more streamlined, and authentic version from whence I came. Let the gift of Health, Wealth, and Knowledge of Self be the trifecta of positivity that drives this spiritual train. Ashe- O!! Ayibobo! Rastafari!! 

Mellow Meditation

For all those interested in the 7 day Meditation Challenge. Its an opportunity to really tap into your inner space.

I've been in a more prayerful and meditative mood in the past few weeks neccesarily I've come to overstand nothing moves without the spirit. This challenge has cause me to be focus on energies within that I realize I have not pay attention to in quite some time. I highly recommend meditation and teaching others to do so as well. Intentionality is one of the most important parts of accomplishing our dreams. Blessings!!

The POWER OF WORDSOUND

•

The Rastafari concept of Word Sound & Power derives from most ancient Afrikan philosophy and spirituality in regard to the spoken word, incantations, sacred songs, & prayers. 

The question arises; How would we change our mode of speech and communication if we lived and breathed this concept? That every word is a prayer, a song, or a chant. Some may argue it would change nothing as humans use language as a reflection of our state of mind. But I argue something different. I uphold the idea that there are universal expressions that surpass the confines of human language but can be used as vehicles to transfer the messages of love, peace, integrity, and righteousness all over the planet.

This reminds of a scene from the film Amistad  where Cinque and several other recently liberated Afrikans were celebrating joyfully after winning there first trial. Their attorney explained to Cinque that Babylon court shistem switched the rules and that they "almost" won the case. Cinque could not comprehend! His translator could not transfer meaning because there was no word in Mende for "almost". Either you do or you don't do something in Mende culture. To me this speaks volumes to the level of corruption of America's so-called Justice system and the integrity and resolve of my ancestral people.

I'm writing today because recent experiences have taught me that people's words even today no matter how formal or broken, the English language can be contorted and manipulated to get the best or worst out of people. Including myself being on both sides of the coin.But in upholding my overstanding of Word, Sound, and Power that what is held in the dark must come to light. And instead of hiding behind nuance and complexity of language, speaking plain does wonders for the soul and for general understanding. Speaking with conviction enhances the resolve that we have within ourselves when making declarations of our belief systems or codes by which we choose to live.

Ultimately, this is the concept that people who are interested in living permaculture must spread and exemplify. No matter what our code or creed, we are only as good as our actions and how we treat people. We can look the part, assume the position, but sooner or later we will be exposed for any oratory or literary fraudulent behavior we exude.

Let us speak LIFE in the forefront of our Imanity. Speak affirming words to each other. 

Speak the Beautitudes of Yeshua Hamoshiah

Speak the teachings of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie 

 Speak the 42 Declarations of Maat

Speak UBUNTU!!!

Speak Love, Speak Light, in all you do. 

Be the better person,

<> LOVE<>LIGHT<>LIVITY<>

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.....

Life and times move in cycles and so do we. As I continue to explore the prospects of my life. I am excited and anxious all at the same time. When you know that you are destined for greatness, the reality that change and reform of attitudes and behaviors are imminent. This is the first time in my life where my future has been so uncertain yet so promising. But now I am more resolved than ever to be the captain of my own ship. This will require an imagination that neither facebook, twitter, tv, nor youtube can suggest. This reality is dictated by the Divine authorship of His Majesty upon which I am the blank page. The more I contend with stagnate energies and relationships the more I overstand that root of all these relationship is myself. Its a beautiful spring day and I will make the most of each day making good on the promise of upliftment and transformation that only children of Rastafari can bring. Why? Because a Rastaman vibration is POSITIVE. LOVE, LIGHT, & LIVITY!!

DIGGIN INTO MY ANCIENCY TO UNLOCK THE TRUTH IN THE MYSTERY

Reflections of A Rastaman in Transition

April 2nd, 2013.

My bredrin suggested that I catalog the thoughts and ideas that surfed through my head as I engage in this time of prayer and separation from things conventational and distracting from focus. All I can say is Jah is a miracle each and everyday InI extend faith in H.I.M. Despite the poor choices I've made in the past regarding my divorce and and choice in relationships. I see that if we take one step toward Jah he will take 20 toward you. So I will continue to build this strong relationship I have. I'm examining the "friends" I have now and I'm coming to a point where I'm questioning their presence and positive impact on my life but the life of my family. So Im getting rid of them and making my Creator my friend. Instead dealing in drama, I commune with my Eternal friend. And just at the point where I think dialogue is pretty much one-sided, Jah gives me an anwer that can't be denied. So I will continue to commune, I will continue to pray, study, meditate, and enrich my spiritual life. Im at a point in my life where I know more about what I don't want than I want. But I feel driven by actions that are not the best logic but I know on the otherside of that pain is greatness. That is what I'm striving for anyway, real GREATNESS. Ashe!!!Ashe!! Ashe!!!

 Blessed Rising in the name of the Hola Jah Rastafari. Greetings from the Almighty Ancestors of Human beginnings.
Mario Pascal dropping some dew for this morning. Family is the essential aspect of this walk in life. We will not always get along but through sickness and in health we must at the very least respect family if not love them to the best of our ability. I'm of course speaking from experience. One of the hardest choices I've had to make in life was separating from my family for the sake of peace of mind. But slowly and surely, family has always come around and embraced whatever decisions I've had to make.

I consider people who support me in this musical movement of Rootz Fuzion my family, so please know that I apprecialove all that you do to help. Til next time, check out the live show we did at the Gramophone for Night of the Living Dred w/ Dj Needlz and Dj Willpower. Bless!
