speaks from the chalice,
As the music (reggae) got "bigger and bigger" and found "its right people", the collective consciousness of the downpressed expanded and spread out, like a flower blossoming or a chrysalis transforming into a butterfly. What emerged from one of the poorest parts of world in Jamaica and a Black population with a history of unspeakable oppression became a lightning rod for oppressed people everywhere. As soon as the message of JAH RastafarI and the Hope of His Love spread out, it became transparent that it was meant for All People downpressed by the Babylon System and its vile mentality -- People of all nations and races. Hence, what emerged with reggae became a message of I-nity of all Imanity and a realization that we are all One People of One Flesh pitted against a Babylon System that is colorblind when it comes to creating victims of its downpression.
