Blessed Love Ones and Ones.
Give Thanks my Lord FarI for the Word Sound Iditation. Give Thanks Iyah.
To me is not important HOW bob Marley's livity was. To be honest, I do not look for HUMAN examples. I nah look for no Reggae Artist nor even no Elder.
You know WHY? Coz I nah respect them?
No, I do respect them to the uttmost. But on I way JAH showed I, that EVERY man got his own unique individual purpose and works to carry out. That is why man should never look for other man's example, coz this is that man's own personal trod.
ALL man must look to the Highest himself. And as many man ah go look to the Highest, as many different revelation those men gonna get. Cah I see one picture of Selassie I, hear one Word, see one gesture.... it will mean a whole different thing to me, than to the next man.
I n I nah go no uniformity and sectism bullshit. I n I are free in Individuality and United in Diversity. As I n I know JAH loveth diversity, and only diversity can fullfill JAH mighty plan in fullness.
So Yes My Lord, I do feel the I when ya speaking against Bob Marley as example. Cah His Majesty told us only about Christ Melchezidek as example. Bob Marley trod that Revelation which Haile Selassie I passed on to him. I give thanks for the Works he and others carried out. He brought the messages to the four corners.... and even to YOU... as you said, and imagine it would have never reached without him.
You do not have to take him as example.
Haile Selassie I was a statesman and politician. No matter how people a go turn it round, this fact stands unshaken. I cannot see how many Rasta do not care for His Majesty's own example. HIM shook the hands of many politician, he went even there and speak with the Beast Pope himself. Cah no matter where Rasta step, ah Righteousness them get.
Like some time ago I went to see Damian Marley. And I see him and his Idren smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. And I man burn that and ask them what them are doing and burn much fire. And then them come and explain me Guiness is not real alcohol and things like that.... and I know this is foolishness.
But when the show started, light switched off and the people heard a loud original amharic speech of His Majesty. None ah them understood a word.... but silence and awe took the place. It deeply moved the people. And JAH taught me what a fool I was. It is not important if I like their livity... JAH has a work for them, and he has a different one for me.
Is like I know of Bobos eating fish and I n I Nyahbinghi Dread burn out animality and canibality. But still I n I carry nuff raspect, coz everyone trods different. When I see His Majesty works through a person.... no matter if him rasta, baldhead, musician whatever.... I give thanks. Because I know Revelation Book, and I know all those things must happen... and I know MAN IS ANGEL.
I too do not like the marley-mania. I do not like commercialism and foolishness done in his name. I do not like certain things his family does. But JAH has work to do for them nevertheless.... and I do not have to like it or admire it or things... JAH needn't ask me for approval.
I give thanks for I n I Iloved Elder Mortimo Planno and the other Patriarchs and Matriarchs who spoke through Bob Marley.
And yes Dreadnut, I have seen Roaring Lion long before it was in stores or on youtube.... from Information Committee Negusa Nagast Local 3 EWF.
Selah
