Blessed Love!

MessenJAH! I live in England and I don't have no countryside near me, none no where at all. We dwell in concrete jungle & ghetto. Does that mean you live in the countryside? That's nice man! Don't get too comfy though... earth is gonna run red these sides soon and the elements are gonna get wrathy! England will topple before Amerikkka. I hope you have an exit strategy.

p.s. I find that preparing your intention for sabbath usually makes the day run smooth and ilah, without boredom. In fact, for me Sabbath totally runs. I used to have issue with getting bored, as if it was a chore to stick to. But I find myself on Friday evening reviewing all of the things I wish to concentrate on and give praises for, as well as things coming for which I am in need of more guidance and iditation. So, it usually turns out by the time I rise on Sabbath, I'm very definitely in the mood for quiet rest, contemplation, and joy in livicating the day to paying close attention to ilaful iration, all the blessings, and the wonders of the mystic.

When not attending a tabernacle, Sabbath for InI is quite a sleepy day, hardly any activity or noise, ishence, incients, irits & Daniel No. 1 Band. Once you start to apprecilove what that day means when the rest of the week we have to go out into the "world" and deal with folly, and madness, and general nonsense, it becomes a precious time for InI and we even apprecilove the total silence of what was boredom, but actually is a blessed time for reflection, a gift almost.

Take time to notice the day passing and give thanks for His open secret. When we can't be sabbatical due to some pressure or other, it is important to maintain a heart of Sabbath and itinue to observe the day, iritically.

Due to it's being a Principle, it requires development of practice before the weight of the true effect is felt. It is a highly important principle to keep for InI Nazarine.

i love it ---we have a right to our actions but not the fruits of our actions.

i'll have to dig out i book with the vedas (at least that is what it was) and pass it on to you. it didn't touch me like the gita does -- i have two versions of the gita ---one is gandhi's version where he writes his analysis between versus.

how i so often feel as arjuna did --as i stuggle with what to do in life ---- the inner battle is hard, but must be won.

peace

messenjah,

if the i hasn't checked out the gita -- i would recommend it. i decided to finally get it after hearing gandhi refer to it over and over again -- i figured if it helped him with what he was going through then it might help me in my tiny existence.
and yes -- i had heard that about marley and vishnu. the native americans also see him as one of their gods, though i can't remember which.

doesn't marley's life resemble the story of jesus as well? (hope i don't catch fire for that one)

505,

i'll try to find it, i hope it is what the i is looking for and i didn't get your hopes up.

peace

I did not know about the whole Bob thing. But Iman personally view HIM as a avatar of Lord Siva. But yes the Gita is wonderful. So many lessons and teachings. But yes Still looking dont worry. But if it is the COMPLETE Vedas I could gladly put down $100.
