Good morning Friday! So this week has been up and down, seemed like most of my days were down but got better as the day progressed. I have been having a bit of the depression but it's not doing anyone any good so it's gotta go.
I have found a new rebirth in my faith and each day I look forward to what it brings. Those that know me know I am rasta. Dreads? No, my dreads are my tattoos... My permanent stance on not conforming to what Babylon sees as the status quo. Smoke herb? No I do not partake in the sacrament of herbs or chalice. But I do place my faith in jah.
There is much more to my faith and if you would like to further look into it then I would suggest you do before making assumptions about Rastafari. I would like to thank my bredren Badda Skat for lifting my spirituality to where it is today and keeping me positive. .
When I first quit drinking I went through a very very difficult set of circumstances and felt like I couldn't get through any of it. I had a very emotional and very strong religious experience through meditation. To this day it's one of the most moving moments of my life and I will always remember that! You wanna know what happened right? Well I guess it's high time I go through it and share it with you all. So here we go:
( this all occurred while meditating and after this happened I was completely moved to years for at least an hour or so)
I was running down central ave in st. Petersburg Florida where all the places I hung out at were. The sky's were dark and ominous, I could see all of my freinds out on the sidewalks and I was running down the middle of the street. As I started to pass everyone, they were yelling and cussing and spitting at me. Angry and full of hatred. Confused and kinda scared I kept on running when all of a sudden Badda Skat came running up along side of me and smiled and keep running with me. At this time we passed the emerald and the streets were completely empty, no cars and no people anywhere like a ghost town. The sky's opened up and we were showered in sunshine. I looked over at Badda and smiled, he started changing into a lion and kept running. I too turned into a lion as we ran full stride towards the pier. No body was around and as we passed the park and approached the peir I saw a man sitting on a bench in what looked like a very official military outfit with medals and badges. I ran up to him and sat in front of him. He spoke to me without opening his mouth, and I could here every word. He said "keep your 3rd eye open, trust in I and everything will be ok." as I heard this he touched my forehead and felt like it opened up and was warm. As he spoke I felt it enter through my forehead , like an eye opening to see.....
I quickly came out of meditation and my forehead was really warm and I was moved beyond belief I knew the man .. Haile selassei it was, in the flesh and speaking to me. This single experience renewed my faith in something greater so now each day I know that jah has a plan, I trust in him and allow him to take my hand and guide me along the path, jah knows what is in store for me. Each day is new : forward ever , backward never!!!
