Yaa Asantewa, the I said,
---------------------------------
Do InI live life, or does life live InI?
I don't know if the question is clear, so to elaborate a little... what I'm asking is: as InI are moving around within the daily, things are occuring to us and as thee I point to there are several sources of information / vibration which InI pick up on, or develop within our own thoughts and applications of logic; so, how far are our destinations, for example, chosen by InI at all.
---------------------------------
I feel it is a combination of Jah RasTafarI, I and I choice, and I and I surroundings (including other people's choices). Check out this reasoning for more detail.
Free Will vs. Destiny
The I said,
---------------------------------
I mean, thee I referred to an example of being headed somewhere and then think of going elsewhere only to find that it was a good idea to avoid the initial destination, or a better idea to reach the second place. For I, this can occur through a process of logic which at the time I sight is my own thoughts, only to talk to someone on the way or find something unexpected at the 'logical' destination which proves to I that which I thought is a result of a sensible process of my own thoughts internally is effected overall by the higher vision, by the more all encompassing I.
So, do not our own logic and thought processes work for the bigger picture, especially if such is the intention of the temple? I'm wondering how far it is possible to separate purist JAH guidance from our own instincts and motivations?
---------------------------------
I reasoned that it is often a good thing to use your own thoughts and logic to trod. Selassie I has given I and I the ability of logic so that I and I can make use of it. And in times where I and I logical thoughts lead to something unexpected, as the I said,
---------------------------------
...only to talk to someone on the way or find something unexpected at the 'logical' destination which proves to I that which I thought is a result of a sensible process of my own thoughts internally is effected overall by the higher vision, by the more all encompassing I.
---------------------------------
I would say that in those instances, there is a good possibility that Jah influenced your logic along the way to go that path, or another possibility is that the person the I met was guided by Jah to meet the I along the path, whether or not they realized that RasTafarI was guiding them. The third possibility is coincidence, which people way too often consider as the only possibility. The more I and I learn to distinguish and Sight Jah Guidance, the better I and I will be to know whether it was coincidence or not.
The I said,
---------------------------------
So, on Ark-I's note; "don't confuse the logic with Jah Guidance, and don't put the logic above Jah Guidance"... I am hence asking; where these two elements of internal thought are co-dependent, what are the ways of separating them? Can JAH guidance occur without motivating an element of internal logic? Can it be as random as the call to get up and go somewhere, without a logically motivating precursor of events or signposting?
---------------------------------
In regards to this question "Can JAH guidance occur without motivating an element of internal logic? Can it be as random as the call to get up and go somewhere, without a logically motivating precursor of events or signposting?"
Yes, and it is very important to know that this is so, because it opens up something that will Save the I and Guide the I many times in your Life.
Jah gave I and I logic for usefulness, so it is true that it is part of I and I Guidance. The Reason I am speaking of learning to distinguish what came from our logic, or what came from imagination, or what came from RasTafarI guidance ( meaning direct guidance from RasTafarI that in a moment comes to the I thoughts or straight to the I actions without even thinking about it). I will come to the Reason in a second, after giving that definition of what I am referring to when I say RasTafarI Guidance, I see I need to add one more thing to the distinctions, which is reflex. Reflex is another thing Jah gave I and I for usefulness, but is still separate from what I mean by Jah Guidance, because it is a quick reaction to something you see, hear, or feel through your skin, or in response to your other physical senses.
So the Reason I am speaking of Learning to distinguish is because I and I should also Learn to Sight this other part of I and I, this Direct I-munication with the Most High. Just as I and I make a distinction between I and I different senses, this is another sense that I am referring to, and the Most Important Sense there is. When I and I learn to distinguish this Sense from the others than I and I will have learned to fully heed this warning that Selassie I gave I and I:
However wise or however mighty a person may be, he is like a ship without a rudder if he is without God. A rudderless ship is at the mercy of the waves and the wind, drifts wherever they take it and if there arises a whirlwind it is smashed against the rocks and becomes as if it has never existed.
By using that quote I am not saying that a Person who has not realized to distinguish that Sense is a person without God, because most people will be directed by Jah Guidance from time to time, even if they don't realize it. The reason I use this quote is to say that this Rudder that Selassie I speak about is Jah RasTafarI Guidance. So the more I and I Learn to distinguish it, the more I and will Learn to Hear it, and the more I and I will Learn to Trod by it; I and I will Learn to Trod through in Inity, no matter what happens around I and I, no matter how the waves fall. This Sense should be put above all other senses, so that I and I come to a point where at the moment I and I hear it, I and I know what it is, and Trod accordingly, whether it means a quick movement, or whether it means a movement that should be performed in the future. Without allowing logic or anything else change the Movement because I and I will know that it is Guidance from Selassie I.
Yaa, the I said,
---------------------------------
And above all, what about if InI receive a guidance that in instruction appears outlandish to the situation. Then InI are there like, oh my, I feel strongly to have to do this but it is gonna seem OFFKEY. It is at this point it is easier to fool oneself into thinking it is our own thoughts and imagination, because shame-face makes one wish to turn away; when it might be that our sight in the situation is limited, but the one who has the higher guidance can see more severity.
---------------------------------
It can be easy to fool oneself into thinking it is our own thoughts and imagination, especially if it seems off key, but if I and I examine our thoughts and examine what comes in the future and pay attention to how it feels when I and I get the dream or thought, and how that feeling is different from the times of our imagination or logic, then I and I will start to learn how it feels different and learn to recognize Jah Voice. It takes time, but without conscious effort, it could never come in any amount of time. That is why it is important to Train ourselves and attempt to Hear, attempt to Speak, Try different ways, and pay attention to our thoughts, feelings and surrroundings until I and I find the key to that part of ourself, and then learn to develop that part of I and I self to make it stronger.
What the I said shows the importance of I and I testing our thoughts to see how the information came, and testing what comes afterwards to learn what the reason was for the Guidance if it was Guidance. It takes time to learn and I have not mastered it yet, but I notice it more often and recoginize the distinction much more than I did before I started Training Iself to develop I awareness. So often when a dream comes to warn I or somebody else, I take warning or show the person the warning. Or when Jah tells I to change course, or to just get up and set a course, I trod. The vibration of the dream and thought is different than regular thoughts or imagination. There are still times when I hear but don't listen, other times where I didn't even realize I heard, and still times where I trod without noticing any warning or direction. So I won't stop Training, sometimes the Training slows and other times speeds up, but it still Itinues.
Another way to increase this Sense within I and I is to speak to the Most High. The I can speak to the Most High about any of your thoughts or actions at any time and for any amount of time. I reasoned before:
---------------------------------
All of I and I should Praise Jah for Jah is great. Praise Jah and give Thanks to Jah for every thing that Jah provides. Don't let even One Blessing pass you without giving Thanks and Praise to Jah. From large things to the very smallest things, Praise Jah for his goodness to I and I.
This will teach I and I to appreciLove what Jah do for I and I. Because the amount of time that I and I will Praise Jah, will show I and I all the things that Jah do for I and I.
Also, it will teach I and I to increase I and I Faith in Jah. Jah Greatness is Highest of High. The closer I and I are to Jah and obedient to Jah Guidance, the more Jah will show I and I His Greatness.
Also, I and I Thanks, Praise, and all other communication with Jah, will wake up I and I Eyes and Ears. I and I will have more and better communication with Jah.
It is the same as a child that is first learning to speak. The more the child communicates, the more familiar the child is with the Language of Man. So the child will better Iverstand when the child hears the Words. And the child will be better at speaking with the Language of Man.
So I and I as children of Jah, need to learn Jah Language, and Live for Jah. Praise Jah Itinually.
Praise Jah
---------------------------------
It is like everything else, I and I must make a conscious effort to Train I and I self. It is harder than many other things because I and I have to search and explore I and I Irits until I and I find it, but if the I Try to do it with the intention in your Mind of what you want to do, the I will find the Key in due time. And when I say Try, it is not trying with failure, it is Try as silver is Tried in the furnace seven times, burning away impurities until the Key is clean.

Itinual Praises unto Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I Menen I
