"The power of the tongue was always mightier than the sword." Rastafari you gave reason to truth. You gave life back to the youth. Power and sound for a righteous revolution. Igniting the spirit, a revelry against constitution. A path for healing and happiness. Equality is rooted in I n I humblebility is our dress. A Rastaman life was for I. Finding love again in nature a natural high. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Come follow JAH way and learn how to hold her. Rectify Zion." ^R.M

Welcome to the Philosopher's stone. My blog has been running for the last year and a half. I have been a practicing Rastaman since I began this write. I have a love for music, writing, culture and God. The truth to this blog is to find the power of the people. Power is found through unity and ideal. Ultimately a unified ideal can begin a unified identity. Rastafari is a lot more then believing in the herb. It is a faith and a way of living. I have dedicated a lot of this blog to poetry and music. Wisdom is my true passion because it is a field of study that is never ending. I have touched on subjects that matter on ancient hermetic Egyptian wisdom which is the foundation of all world faith and Religion. The truth is that we live in a day in age of what which will begin to be a spiritual awakening. That we are spiritual beings that live a spiritual life. The power of the spirit can power a mind to find what one is called to in life. Spirituality is the power of all humanity. Rastafari is the teaching of all acceptance. That is the belief of a Rastaman. I am in transition with this blog and well my passion is to teach one day. I have yet to bring news source to my blog but decided to start to bring 3rd party source on this site to help gather more culture that involves what a Rasta really stands for. We are the the way of root living and the faith that teaches the system is corrupt. Enjoy reading some material that involves Rasta worldwide. One Love.

As they say in the Big Easy hey y'all . Little did I know that local lingo for New Orleans would become my renewed faith in understanding a new way of life. Big Easy as a sort of a Hakuna Matata lighter sense and page. My names Ryan and people call me Moke for a nick. Heavy in my dance & river days I went by Movement. I like them all. Never needed a Mohawk to rectify my will. Well anyways I just moved back to sunny San Diego after spending the last close to 3 years in Louisiana. Born and raised in San Diego private school the whole 9 yards and a Kaeding of a miss to a field goal. Did some time up in Chico, CA. Fun times, but was still searching on what I wanted to do in life. Dipped down south to get Bourbon dirty while looking to find my calling.. Right? If your going to do it you might as well do it right. Met some fun people, made some memories and actually grew up. Left a lovely girl behind, but hopefully one day we'll be back in mind. Moral of the story I finally found out something I was looking for. What was really going on and is it really 2014 already? I picked up my love for writing and let my thoughts take the wheel. As I was riding upon my journal I knew my higher self was leading me somewhere. Go figure out the roots to my roots. I had a revelation that their was one genre of music I had ventured in but not far enough. Reggae was making its way back to me and I began to remember my love of its simplicity but profound truth. Sure enough my writing was taking me there as well. Tired of the battle amongst Christianity and other world religions I turned to studying nature. Began self teaching Astrotheology and other hermetic wisdom. Then it dawned on me there was a lost world doctrine and way of life that emphasized that nature is the way. Rastafarian. Remembering its misconception of a youth's rebellion I always knew it held more than truth, pure truth. So here I am still dipping my toes in understanding the Rastaman's way knowing my hometown is the place to start. Identity had been important for many but many like myself gave up on what was being taught. The purpose that is driven through my blog is to find a commune in my generation's ideology and bring people back together through the power of spirituality and love for acceptance for one another. A recognition of the empowering One Love. One thing our world has lost touch of is the rooted key of the Rastaman way. That is living life through suppression and instilling self discipline. Wasn't this the path that all eastern and western religions insinuated as being the tool for enlightenment? Yes, but it got misconstrued through its complexity. Heigh-ho back to the roots we should go. So I invite you to follow my blog to begin to learn a lost way of life or to invite you to teach me a thing or two. It is time our generation spoke together through the power of unified identity. Time for a real campaign of change from the people as it should be and come. Time our entire nation legalized the plant that symbolized freedom. Sending Rastaman vibrations outwards for a revival of a Kingdom. Please feel free to add me on facebook Ryan Moquin

UPDATE AS OF 7/19/14 (PURPOSE DRIVEN MESSAGE)
Hey everybody. Sorry for lack of content the last past month I was actually locked up in jail. No need to worry I'm back here to stay and all is well. Anyways I had much time to write and foresee where I wanted to take this blog and in what direction. A lot of posts before were not thought out completely and expression of my emotion. So I took down some. But I have passed that haze and my writing will begin to show. I want this blog to be based on a 5 point structure.
1) To promote Rastafari Doctrine & Way of Life
2) To be a multimedia outlet for all arts combined
3) To promote discussion & eventually through forum
4) To bring together people spiritually
5) And most importantly promote world peace
Thank you for reading and hope you enjoy. In the near future I'm going to begin making videos so the poetry can be better understood. There is a lot of ancient philosophy and wisdom behind the influence of them.
Ok that is all for now. One Love.

"Dating the white lady"
It seems people refrain from exposing the nature of true being in today's society. One topic for instance would be drug culture. It seems the extent of drug talk among the average Joe goes to medical marijuana and not much further than that. Well I'm going to go ahead and expose the nature of a substance that has been prevalent and part of society for sometime now and that is cocaine. Cocaine can be attributed to anywhere from the lavish Hollywood lifestyle to the neighborhood warfare going on nationwide in the "ghettos." So why is this substance abused by so many people with such various backgrounds? It's a good question to ask, but the answer is simply the fact that it is very addicting and it can generate a good revenue. So when it comes to cocaine you usually have two people involved that is the seller and the user. You have the people who are in it for the money and you have the people in it for the high. I'm not going to talk about the history of the drug or it's nature because you can do a Google search and find that information. But for those who never dabbled into the use of the substance here's a perspective on what it is like to be "blow head." So go back and think to yourself where was the first time you heard about cocaine. In my case it must have been middle-school during a DARE talk or something of that nature. So I knew about it as a kid, but never saw it until College. The thought of snorting something up your nose isn't the most appealing of ideas. However, as you grow older for some so does their curiosity. So say if your out one night at a party, few drinks deep and there is a dude in corner rolling up a dollar bill laying some white powder on the coffee table, your curiosity of the situation may just as well get the best of you. 9 out of 10 times this is probably how most cocaine users get introduced to the substance. They're feeling a little burnt on the few beers and couple vodka shots they've had and a pick-me-up is exactly what they need to get them back in the party. So before you know it your sitting on the couch talking to the dude asking him what it makes you feel like. "Fucking good" is all he keeps repeating and after of a few minutes of talking yourself into it you got the dollar bill up your nose snorting your curiosity away. Then you sit back into the couch you and you ask out loud, "how long does it take...?" Minutes later... "Oh damn I feel good, I like this shit." Before you know it your all coked up and beginning to tell your life story to some coke dealer, but it doesn't phase you because your both sharing interest and appreciation of the coked out convo your both enjoying. So it seems this is how the relationship starts for many people who get into the using cocaine. It was a harmless night at a party you tried it and liked it and who knows you'd be down next time you run into her. This is usually the mindset until you have found yourself a reliable coke dealer and yes they're a dime a dozen, but here is where trouble finds you. Cocaine is the most expensive street drug there is. Now were talking 50$ a gram if you know what your doing. So what does that 50$ offer? Well if your lucky a few hours of being on cloud 9, jamming through your iTunes library most likely to Phil Collins and Michael Jackson, dancing in your room, texting people you haven't talked to in ages and who knows. This is definitely the beginning sign you have started a coke habit. It seems harmless when it's once a month, but then it becomes once a week and even few times a week. Now your in deep and begin to realize your waiting for your next check to pick up a sack. There is a line from an Atmoshpere song that goes, "Got a little cocaine habit, but he only says he does it when someone else has it." This is where the thin line is racked when doing cocaine is fun or bad news. Cocaine offers a fun night and awesome conversation, but its bound to stick in your head and wishing you had more. This is how coke can be evil it gives you the mentality that you don't ever have enough. It's how it keeps you coming back for more. Anyone who has dealt with above can testify by saying it will eventually eat away at your bank account. For some people you have to learn the hard way and realize when to stop. Go figure the fairest white lady would come for your money, give you a few hours of pleasure and run out the door like the bitch she is. So what's the moral of the story? Don't do coke? Do coke? Well that's not for me to say. I purely just like sharing truth on matters and giving informative information. Your choices are yours to make and I suggest you make an educated one. But if cocaine can prove to serve one purpose, Eric Clapton described it best. "When your day is done, but you want to ride on cocaine."
