We have the power to create our own wellbeing. That seems to suggest that we are not really free. I have to thank you for posing that question, because it led me to ask for the answer and now that I have it I feel much better.
The thing is that we just don't give a fuck. That's why we can have so much responsibility and still be free.
Every human being knows that we can't figure out the best way to do anything, and that we are lost without a clue when you boil it down. Our minds are incapable of guiding us, but still we are guided according to what our minds can see. And we still don't despair or live in fear, because we all have the ability to just shrug and leave everything to God. Even so-called atheists do the same ting although they are not aware that it is God that they are trusting.
To me, the phrase "bless up" means that we just let things go that we can't deal with and we don't expect to be able to rely on our minds for guidance.
There is that tune sizzla bring, where he say "bless up, don't get badmind and jealous......"
It is the brethren who show me rasta that show me that wordsound. A time we were making up a spliff and the herbs that remained after the spliff was built he just let blow away and I jump to grab it. He saw I was upset that the herbs were lost and he said, "don't worry about that, bless that up......"
You know, you can never formulate in your mind an equation that gives and exact proof scientifically of what is the best path. You just have to bless up and leave it to Jah. It is a natural thing, we all do it all the time, and I mean all the time, constantly.
