Blessed love to all. Please brothers and sisters i need help and good advice, i am going into fasting and prayers, do you all advice i to use the ganja herb? Please your inputs will be welcomed. Bless

Messenger: GARVEYS AFRICA Sent: 1/18/2014 9:04:13 PM

I would say no. Because the idea of fasting would include ganja which is most definitely a form of food. My question is, the idea of fasting is an interesting one, I man want some insight, why you choose to fast? What do you hope to gain? Psychically and spiritually? I'm not being disingenuous when I ask this a sincere question Haile Selassie I the Ruler of all nation.

Haile-I, iman would have to go wit the no ganja as Garvey africa say. iman is no fasting guru but have done some small light fast at different points in i livity. such as , i will do a 3 day fst which really is only no food for one of those 3 days. i approach with just real light foods on a mon an tues, den weds taper to just organic and gluten free plain crackers (if available) , then by thurs no food at all except lots an lots of water. fri sat sun ease foward wit the light foods. like i said i is no expert, this is a way that was shown to I by a bredrin some time ago. as far as the benifit, for I , it just feels great, refreshing , and does no harm, so i go wit it.

Blessed to all Yes I , fasting is actually ,to fast from all desire , on a spiritual level , fasting of thoughts , because of it InI are being led by InI wants and not by needs , desire led InI to choose d food to eat through taste and not by its nutrition, or choose a womban through its physical beauty and not the character , Iman don't deny the good taste of food or beauty of an empress, but its not the priority, which in d modern livity is d basis of it which simply is unnatural, fasting is actually not just by eating but its aim is to be the master of d mind and not a servant of d mind , fasting is meditation , just like sitting in silence witnessing the mind is a practice to master it , this is why many can't sit in silence and find it hard to sit in silence without being botherd by the mind or getting bored ,because mind activity became a habit, to be conscious of the mind is meditation or fasting . InI JAH RASTAFARI

naturally to sit in silence is easy and simple but the itchy mind habit made it seems difficult

To InI, fasting is forgetting about earthly desires, wants, needs, and focusing on Jah and Jah spirit. To InI, herb brings I closer to feel His spirit, to be directed by Jah spirit, and to keep my mind off of needs of nurishing foods for my body. Fasting must be a personal thing between I and the I. For InI, herbs help me to forget self and aids to feel Jah within I.

Heart blessings brothers DURU and Raybob. Your inputs were appreciated bless To brother raybob,if am to overs what you said ,then the herb gives you strength in fasting,that is great i also feel thesame but my major worry is the physical want for food.so i say it depends on individuals, i would have prefered the use of the herb as it stimulates my connection to JAH at that period of medication.but it better to be safe as Garvey as recommended Thanks once again for your inputs i really appreciate them. Bless.
