Christ say whoever wants to follow me and does not hate his mother and father cannot be my disciple. how much literally do you take this saying. i see it they set ur path as in provide shelter, food, clothing, etc...but its Jah who provide for the mustard seed your growing, seek within..mans biggest enemies are those of his own house!

Imagine

a circle enclosing another circle, then another, then another and so on
Each circle represents a space for the self

The first circle is a place for the self alone, the selfish being. The best you will find in this circle is self knowledge, and this will help you move forward into the wider circles
The second cirlce represents what we call family. In this circle you will find genorosity and love and you share yourself with others, but the space in that circle is still too small, it is a space bound and closed by the attachment to blood, or heredity, and so the number of people that you share with will be small And because of this, much blood and has been spilled throughout history
The third circle now represents what we call community, and you will move out of the limited space of the second circle and widen your potential.
And so, as you reach your spiritual maturity, you will move ever forward into wider and wider circles, from the circle of community to the circle of clan and tribe, onward to the circle of nations and on and on and on
Until you are ONE with the ONE

Emperor Haile Selassie I is the centre point of all Life Circumference

Blessed Love and Ises
Holy I Selassie I JAH RASTAFARI

i'm not so good with circles and circumferences, Christ did not come to bring unity but rather division! from now on father shall be against his son, son against mother, brother against sister. people have a choice of good and evil, ini chose good

Beloved,

That only works if you know your parents to be evil. That is not to say it is impossible. There are many atrocities of the family "tie"... and I'm treading carefully cos I get the impression there are "issues".

But what many of us InI see when we see opposition or resistance from our parents or family is simply fear of truth, that we as RasTa can overs due to a Haile overstanding of their condition and dis-ease. More time, InI find a way round and same way our families find themselves seeking solace in InI... when InI know that it is the warmth of RasTafari in InI they seek, when they don't have the strength to sight him direct and speak HIM name. So, ah Selassie I, ye know. And we know. Selah.

I know that if it ever comes to a day where I make the case for my Mother & Father's goodness over their lack of overstanding... I'm gonna make it! With passion. I nah forsake them. It is only those who shall go under with the Beast, they shall turn on their ancients during their final days.

Not me! My Father & Mother in flesh mean I can see & know there is a Father & Mother of Iration. Haile I & Menen I Selassie I.
