Walking and sharing a message of history this Grounation day April 21, 2015.

 

 

Groundation Day

Courteous of the beloved Wikipedia. Happy Grounation Day and may it allow for a Universal Kingdom of Rastaman's and Lioness' world wide. Bless it be in the way to set all things and beings free. JAH Praise.

Grounation Day (April 21) is an important Rastafari holy day, and second after Coronation Day (November 2). It is celebrated in honor of Haile Selassie's 1966 visit to Jamaica.

Rastafari movement
Visit of Selassie to Jamaica[edit] Haile Selassie had already met with several Rasta elders in Addis Ababa, and had allowed Rastafari and other people of African descent to settle on his personal land in Shashamane. Haile Selassie visited Jamaica on Thursday, 21 April 1966. Some 100,000 Rastafari from all over Jamaica descended on Palisadoes Airport in Kingston,[1] having heard that the man whom they considered to be God was coming to visit them. They waited at the airport playing drums and smoking large quantities of marijuana.[1] Today the Rastafari celebrate that Haile Selassie visited Jamaica on April 21st. When Haile Selassie's Ethiopian Airlines flight landed at the airport at 1:30 PM, the crowd surrounded his plane on the tarmac. The day had been overcast and stormy. After about half an hour, the door swung open and the emperor appeared at the top of the mobile steps. A deafening tumult was heard from the crowd, who beat calabash drums, lit firecrackers, waved signs, and sounded Abeng horns of the Maroons.[2] All protocol was dropped as the crowd pressed past the security forces and onto the red carpet that had been laid out for the reception. Selassie waved from the top of the steps; some interpreters have claimed that he shed tears, although this is disputed. He then returned into the plane, disappearing for several more minutes. Finally Jamaican authorities were obliged to request Ras Mortimer Planno, a well-known Rasta leader, to climb the steps, enter the plane, and negotiate the Emperor's descent.[3] When Planno reemerged, he announced to the crowd: "The Emperor has instructed me to tell you to be calm. Step back and let the Emperor land"[4] After Planno escorted the African monarch down the steps, journalists were puzzled by Selassie's refusal to walk on the red carpet on the way to his limousine. [hence grounation, Iyaric equivalent of foundation, "uplifted" with the sound of the word ground in the sense of "making contact with the soil"] He was then driven to the King's House, the residence of Governor-General Clifford Campbell.[5] As a result of Planno's actions, the Jamaican authorities were asked to ensure that Rastafari representatives were present at all state functions attended by His Majesty,[6][7] and Rastafari elders, including Planno and probably Joseph Hibbert, also obtained a private audience with the Emperor,[8] where he reportedly told them that they should not immigrate to Ethiopia until they had first liberated the people of Jamaica. This dictum came to be known as "liberation before repatriation". At a dinner held at the King's House, Rastas claimed that acting Jamaican Prime Minister Donald Sangster had stamped his foot at Lulu, Haile Selassie's pet chihuahua, who, they swore, had responded with the roar of a lion.[9] Defying expectations of the Jamaican authorities,[10] Selassie never rebuked the Rastafari for their belief in him as the Messiah. Instead, he presented the movement's faithful elders with gold medallions bearing the Ethiopian seal – the only recipients of such an honour on this visit.[9][11] Meanwhile, he presented some of the Jamaican politicians, including Sangster, with miniature coffin-shaped cigarette boxes.[5] Impact[edit] Rita Marley, Bob Marley's wife, converted to the Rastafari faith after seeing Haile Selassie in his motorcade en route to the King's House. She claimed, in interviews and in her book No Woman No Cry, that she had seen a stigma on Haile Selassie's hand as he waved to the crowd, and was instantly convinced of his divinity.[12] For years afterward, Planno, who became a spiritual guru of Bob Marley, would give out enlarged photographs of himself with the Emperor on the steps of the airplane.[13] The great significance of this event in the development of the Rastafari religion should not be underestimated. Having been outcasts in society, they gained a measure of respectability for the first time.[14][15][16] By making Rasta more acceptable, it opened the way for the commercialisation of reggae, leading in turn to the further global spread of Rastafari. Haile Selassie is thought to have encouraged the Rastafari elders to learn about the Ethiopian Orthodox faith while in Jamaica, and in 1970, he dispatched Archbishop Laike Mandefro to establish a mission in Jamaica. Mandefro was formally invited by Joseph Hibbert, one of the original founders of the Rastafari Movement, to teach the Rasta community, and in 1971 Mandefro named Hibbert as a "Spiritual Organizer". During this time, Mandefro pointedly refused calls to demand that the Rastafari renounce their faith in Haile Selassie's divinity, and some 2,000 Rastas accordingly received Orthodox baptisms.[17] Because of Haile Selassie's visit, April 21 is celebrated as Grounation Day. The "Abu Ye! Abu Ye Abu ye! Abu ye!" chant is an element of Grounation Day festivities.

To Pave the Way

Taking time to oneself can allow for the individual to find themselves. Funny enough it is been a necessity for me my entire life. Loner, emo, selfish, ignorant or just somebody who wants to get away from the stress and strife of all the pain of world. Time has it that this world is full of pressure and competition. A game it truly was for most. But there was more magic at hand to prove otherwise and love always prevailed this old philosophy. That life is much greater than just a game of money and pleasure, but a spiritual journey that one felt called to find to understand. This is the truth that one must know that life is an illusion to self test one soul to figure what really counts and what really matters in heart, body, mind and soul. Life is bittersweet and has much to offer, but the message I'm out to make known is that awareness to self and awareness to others is the most important and vital message to share and let be known. It takes us back to the old saying that went something like, "Put yourself in my shoes." It is all a simple reminder to be self conscious of those in front of you. Take time today to reach out a helping hand and let a simple message of love to be known. A word to someone could make a difference to someone who wants out from it all. Its a message that has been stated before, but a message that needs a constant reminder.

One Love and JAH bless it is time to put all the hurt to rest.

A Message to Enlighten the Empowerment

To whom it may concern it should to all,

      To enlighten the occult must be brought back out the vault. History hides itself overtime and misconception is instilled. Time distortion, lies, assassinations, infiltrated text books, scare tactics, government allies of told enemies this world is truly a gangster game. But, it is in the end that peace should be stood for. I am a devout truth seeker and enlightener. I'm out for the minds of the good will of the people and out to ask government power of the world just to grant peace back to the people and truth. It's been dirty for too long, but I'm not insinuating any killing. I'm leading a New World Order that empowers the individual in unified identity. No fascist reign for this country was sold upon freedom,       freedom for the people. Allow for it to flow for the age is now here. Let peace play with a recognized bow. Namaste.

Introduction to Humanism by Doug Thomas

UNDERSTANDING THE ROOTS OF HUMANISM AND HUMANATARISM. AGNOSTIC AND ATHEIST BELEIFS.

Zen Buddhism

Zen Buddhism

Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism. It began in China, spread to Korea and Japan, and became very popular in the West from the mid 20th century.

The essence of Zen is attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, without being misled by logical thought or language.

Zen techniques are compatible with other faiths and are often used, for example, by Christians seeking a mystical understanding of their faith.

Zen often seems paradoxical - it requires an intense discipline which, when practised properly, results in total spontaneity and ultimate freedom. This natural spontaneity should not be confused with impulsiveness.

Zen - the word: 'Zen' is the way the Chinese word Ch'an is pronounced in Japan. 'Ch'an' is the Chinese pronunciation of the Sanskrit word Dhyana, which means (more or less) meditation.

Zen - the essence and the difficulty:

Christmas Humphreys, one of the leading pioneers in the history of Buddhism in Britain, wrote that "Zen is a subject extremely easy to misunderstand." He was right.

Zen is something a person does. It's not a concept that can be described in words. Despite that, words on this site will help you get some idea of what Zen is about. But remember, Zen does not depend on words - it has to be experienced in order to 'understand'.

Enlightenment is inside:

The essence of Zen Buddhism is that all human beings are Buddha, and that all they have to do is to discover that truth for themselves.

All beings by nature are Buddhas,
as ice by nature is water.
Apart from water there is no ice;
apart from beings, no Buddhas.

Hakuin Ekaku:

Zen sends us looking inside us for enlightenment. There's no need to search outside ourselves for the answers; we can find the answers in the same place that we found the questions.

Human beings can't learn this truth by philosophising or rational thought, nor by studying scriptures, taking part in worship rites and rituals or many of the other things that people think religious people do.

The first step is to control our minds through meditation and other techniques that involve mind and body; to give up logical thinking and avoid getting trapped in a spider's web of words.

History:

Zen Buddhism was brought to China by the Indian monk Bodhidharma in the 6th century CE. It was called Ch'an in China.

Zen's golden age began with the Sixth Patriarch, Hui-neng (638-713), and ended with the persecution of Buddhism in China in the middle of the 9th century CE. Most of those we think of today as the great Zen masters came from this period. Zen Buddhism survived the persecution though it was never the same again in China.

Zen spread to Korea in the 7th century CE and to Japan in the 12th century CE. It was popularised in the West by the Japanese scholar Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki (1870 - 1966); although it was found in the West before that.

Zen in practice. Learning Zen:

If you're a westerner you may find it hard to shake off the intellectual and dualist ways of thinking that dominate western culture: these can make it difficult for westerners to come to Zen.

Zen Buddhists pay less attention to scripture as a means of learning than they do to various methods of practising Zen. The most common way of teaching is for enlightenment to be communicated direct from master to pupil.

Zen practices are aimed at taking the rational and intellectual mind out of the mental loop, so that the student can become more aware and realise their own Buddha-nature. Sometimes even (mild) physical violence is used to stop the student intellectualising or getting stuck in some other way.

Students of Zen aim to achieve enlightenment by the way they live, and by mental actions that approach the truth without philosophical thought or intellectual endeavour.

Some schools of Zen work to achieve sudden moments of enlightenment, while others prefer a gradual process.

Clues to the meaning of Zen:

Because Zen is so hard to explain here are some quotations that may help you get an idea of it:

•The essence of Zen Buddhism is achieving enlightenment by seeing one's original mind (or original nature) directly; without the intervention of the intellect.
•Zen is big on intuitive understanding, on just 'getting it', and not so hot on philosophising.
•Zen is concerned with what actually is rather than what we think or feel about what is.
•Zen is concerned with things as they are, without trying to interpret them.
•Zen points to something before thinking, before all your ideas.
•The key to Buddhahood in Zen is simply self-knowledge.
•To be a human being is to be a Buddha. Buddha nature is just another name for human nature - true human nature.
•Zen is simply to be completely alive.
•Zen is short for Zen Buddhism. It is sometimes called a religion and sometimes called a philosophy. Choose whichever term you prefer; it simply doesn't matter.
•Zen is not a philosophy or a religion.
•Zen tries to free the mind from the slavery of words and the constriction of logic.
•Zen in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one's own being, and it points the way from bondage to freedom.
•Zen is meditation.

Ouroboros (Infinitysnake) with the Wisdom of the Kabbalah

In alchemy, the ouroboros represents the spirit of Mercury aslo known as Azoth, (the substance that permeates all matter), and symbolizes continuous renewal (a snake is often a symbol of resurrection, as it appears to be continually reborn as it sheds its skin.), the cycle of life and death, and harmony of opposites. A double ouroboros (two creatures swallowing one another) in alchemy signifies volatility. Spiritually, it signifies the balance of the upper and lower natures.

Sending out a SOS- "Signal of Stress" (Poem)

The Rastaman holds the heart of a Lion.
To stand against a wall and to ponder one's lyin.
It's a coffee run in disguise to flash a stare back to a deputy.
I'm out ealry ready for a smoke to pack a vibe hoping he might see.
Power of the people I stand in alliegence to the almighty.
Freedom to do, is freedom to please. Catch me Mr. Officer if you can.
I'll survey the block like I'm just mocking back your day plan.
Now its a walk off for both of us, but it aint I riding the stupid bus.
My colors are worn to only cause the police to feel a fuss.
No need for a wtich to mock a dollar back to my face.
I'll just learn to smile that you people should learn to live life at my pace.
I'll take my hair and sunshine over any corporate filth.
I'm out to teach the message that the beauty held and the beast who let the flower wilth.
