Why is it that Rastas respect the Love in them?
How do we understand the simplicity of that Love?
Why do we never give up on our chances of spreading that Love?
Where will this Love take us on the journey of life?
The answer is simple, Rastafari is LOVE.
We are all here to commemorate the struggles and achievements that has made Rastafari a force to be reckoned with. As Rastas, we all understand the rudiments of self-raspect, self-Love, and our pride in that Love. Love does not adhere to distinctions of skin colour; nor does it judge your beliefs. It is the source of everything positive and shuns everything negative.We brothers and sisters of Rastafari have learned to embrace that sacred code of Love. We have shown through example, that Love does conquer all. That the ignorant ones shall still be embraced with a Love that only makes them thirst for more. Yes we stand for peace and equality, but it is LOVE that gives us that fighting spirit.
It is so easy to become angered and push all reasoning aside because it is so easy to be human. Humanity does not always raspect the idea or notion of equality and love, nor does it appropriate these ideologies to the betterment of itself. So what now is Rasta's responsibility to humanity?
We are the vessels of God's eternal Love and all He asks is that we employ that Love in our own lives. This is the first step to fulfilling that responsibility. Liberate your emotions beyond the contempt we all share for the world that exists today. Do not deny your free spirit the sweet serenity of effortless love because of your rigid loyalty to the works of Rastafari. Rastafari is Love, know this.Rasta cannot function without Love, Rasta does not exist without Love, and if Rasta does not exist, how can Rasta better humanity?
Rastas must be willing to share that love, not just to fellow Rastafari, but to the lost sheep that walk among us. Iman see fully well my purpose as Rasta and will continue to walk in Love and peace and inity. I will not betray my fellow man because he has not fully understood Love for what it is. I will not disrespect his lack of interest in Love by turning my face in the opposite direction. I will only show him how easy it is to Love because It is all I can do as a Rasta.
'If you know not God you know not LOVE, for God is LOVE'.

BLESSED LOVE BREDRIN!IT IS WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT NOT ALL ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE CONCEPT OF HATRED WITHIN THE RASTA MOVEMENT AND BEYOND."IF YOU KNOW NOT JAH,YOU KNOW NOT LOVE,FOR JAH IS LOVE"BEAUTIFULLY STATED.THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL DISAGREE WITH THESE WORDS,BUT ANYONE WHO FIGHTS AGAINST LOVE KNOWS NOT THE MOST HIGH.ONCE ONES STARTS DEALING WITH THE EGOTISTICAL SUPERIORITY COMPLEX THEN
ONES ARE LOSING SIGHT OF THE REAL PURPOSE OF ALL EXISTENCE. EVERY RIGHTEOUS MAN AND WOMBMAN(REGARDLESS OF COLOR)IS WORTHY OF HIM LOVE.MUCH RASPEK FOR MOVING FORWARD AND POSTING THIS WORD SOUND! THE BREDRIN IS DEFINITELY MOVING WID GREAT STRENGTH.ONE POWAHFUL LOVE!
THESE WERE MY THOUGHTS CONCERNING THE WORD SOUND BELOW A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.I WAS GOING TO CREATE A POST ON THIS BUT DIDN'T BOTHER..I KNOW IT WILL ADD SOME INSIGHT TO THIS POST AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT.
"The essence of Rasta is love, love for all forms of life (creation), which comes in a diverse array of colors, shapes, textures and vibrations".(WORD SOUND TAKEN FROM A POST COUPLE MONTHS AGO)
"THIS IS THE ONE LOVE INI STAND FIRM IN.IT IS A VISION AND TO I AND I IT SYMBOLIZES A FELLOWSHIP WITHIN I AND I RASTAFARI COMMUNITY AND EVENTUALLY WITH ALL LIFE. I AND I CHANT IT BECAUSE IT IS I AND I GOALS AND VISIONS THAT WE EXEMPLIFY THE IDEALS OF THE MOST HIGH JAH RASTAFARI.I AND I THINK IT IS KNOWN TO MOST WHO ARE RASTAS THAT AT THIS MOMENT "ONE LOVE" SYMBOLIZES ONENESS WITH THE IRATOR AND WITH ALL EXISTENCE THAT SURVIVES THROUGH HIM POWAH.FOR IF IT IS NOT RIGHTEOUS IT IS NOT OF HIM, OR WITH HIM, THEREFORE IT IS A FORCE WORKING AGAINST HIM. I AN I VISIONS IS TO PRACTICE LOVE SAME WAY WITH THOSE WHO WILL EMBRACE IT,NOT TO NECESSSARILY USE WHEN I AND I FIGHT I AND I'S BATTLES ON AN EARTHLY LEVEL. OF COURSE WHEN IT COMES TO EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE THESE WORDS WOULD NOT BE USEFUL TO THE MOVEMENTS, BUT WITHIN THE MOVEMENTS IT EVOKES A SENSE OF UNITY.THEN THROUGH THIS WE WILL DESTROY ALL DOWNPRESSORS AND "DOWNPRESSOR MENTALITY","BLACK" ,"WHITE" OR "IN BETWEEN"."

WOJ doesn't want to hear about love....... Love is caring for humanity, hungry bellies, youths, love is respecting the seed InI plant to provide nourishment. Love is not slaughtering animals to fill InI bellies but living off the natural plants, vegetables, fruits etc..........For many love is not a part of them, it does not reside within……..while I don’t agree with loving my enemies I know I love creation and the fullness thereof.....once they livin clean.
