Very beautifully put, brethren and sitren. Wonderful thread. i&I love your expressions of JAH LOVE.
i&I always found it humorous when a man i&I knew who continually tried to keep his distance from JAH referred to His Majesty as “the Big Guy” (okay, in Truth the man was my father). Of course, he saw not the Truth in the words he uttered: The Big I. He had not yet accepted that All are One. That All of the carbon shells which we call “bodies” live & breathe and are animated by JAH LOVE.
Sometimes it feels so beautiful bask in the warmth & light of the REALity: Haile Selassie (the Most High), Jesus, you and i are all flesh & bone manifestations of One and the same Life. It’s why we can feel JAH LOVE running through our veins, beating in our hearts and giving us Life whenever we stop to realize it.
Certainly it’s uncomfortable to have to accept that the Adolf Hitlers of the world are also a part of our Oneness, part of us, part of the Big I. That’s harder to understand and accept because we tend to focus on the ways in which the Adolf Hitlers have been led astray by the devil and not the reality that they are also our brethren. Blessedly, those who have gone astray sooner or later return to embrace the Most High. It’s why Forgiveness is Holy (after all, we all mess up and follow the devil’s deceptions at times, some more so that others) and why judgment by one person of another is so foolish. Through our expressions of JAH LOVE and Forgiveness, we facilitate the redemption of those parts of us who have gone astray (not by adopting against them the hate, violence and other tools of the devil).
When my father’s physical shell returned to the earth a couple of years ago, it was so nice to see him finally stop pushing away the Big I which had given him the Life and instead embrace the Big I.
ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, ONE LIFE, ONE PEOPLE
