Glory and honor to the ivine
intelligence, manifesting the luminous monarch Haile Selassie I. Glory
to ivine faithfulness, manifesting the adorable monarch Empress Mennen
I. Glory to InI ancestors' continuity, joyfully manifesting InI.
The aggressive agitation of the belief
of the superiority of man over woman by a younger Rastafari brother
recently, have greatly prompted this declaration that man and woman are
interdependent.
I have been long aware that
misconceptions are the foundation of social disharmony. I am confident
that honest and sober analytic intellectual examination of issues will
reveal resolutions.
Blessed I, it is incumbent upon InI to
evolve human consciousness to the harmonious heights of mutual
glorification. As a social commune, Rastafari like Babylon will not
fulljoy social bliss as long as mutual glorification is absent between
man and woman. There is no clause of superiority in the reality of
interdependency. The reality that man and woman are dependent on each
other for the existence and continuity of their distinctive selves,
denounces and erases all questions of superiority. Man and Woman are
complimentary forms of the same substances.
There must be a common iverstanding and
ipreciation of certain basic realities by the family of Rastafari.
Despite what is written and inherited as ongoing beliefs and traditions,
if they are not endorsed by the iration, InI should not embrace them as
the iration is InI foundation.
InI man must remove the stigma and
sentiment of being unclean from InI sisters when they are menstruating
as it is a biologically natural and personal affair which man cannot
accomplish for woman. It is evidence of her reproductive possibility,
and evidence of non-pregnancy. Man must never forget that he was
reproduced and nurtured of woman's blood. Man is the bone of woman's
bones, flesh of her flesh and blood of her blood.
To those brothers who advocate that man
was created and afterwards woman was surgically extracted from him or
was somehow created from one of his ribs, I suggest the in depth
consideration of the irits of iternal co-existence. According to the
Bible, when God said "come let us make man in our own image,"
sounds to I like a matured sexually aroused brother inviting the
cooperation of a matured sexually aroused sister to engage in ivine
reproductive copulation. It is outright stupid or self-deceiving not to
exalt the glory that is, while demanding the acceptance of imaginary
fantasies. Eternity has no beginning.
Ras Tafari ingels must evolve from the
darkness of inherited misconceptions which have served to embitter the
relationship between man and woman. Misconception in practice ensures
the horrors of oppression, discrimination and unfulfilled social
harmony. Ras Tafari is the light of conductual integrity emanating from
the conscious practice of the awareness and ipreciation of the natural
laws of human oneness, equal rights and justice. By all measures of
consciousness and natural reality, man and woman are interdependent. InI
cannot deny the truth that Rastafari philosophy, has been strongly
influenced negatively by the patriarchal construct of the Bible. Despite
the glory of the overwhelming massage of the Bible, its patriarchal
costumes are most condemnable and should not be exalted by InI the
naturalists.
Because InI are the vanguard of truth
and right, equality and justice, love and unity, InI must ensure that
InI are not upholding traditions which contradict InI stated
fundamentals. InI must ensure that InI are not upholding aspects of
Babylon downpressions within InI community. If a man locks is glory on
his head, why more man think that a woman locks is a curse and shame not
to be exalted? InI need to straighten out and strengthen InI livity. It
is all in InI mind.
Let the conduct of InI self, the words
of InI mouth and the meditation of InI thoughts be acceptable in sight
of Jah and all ones.
Ras Tafari love.
Ras Iration I
