My Path

Current mood:contemplative

I really want to address the question of my path. Yes, I am interested in Rastafarianism. No, I do not claim to be Rasta. I don't think I am so much into the RASTA lifestyle as much as I am into finding the TRUTH. I am a truthseeker and these days I am very thirsty for knowledge. I believe that the Lord speaks to me in these wonderous ways...and He has led me to look into other people's cultures and belief systems. There are many things that I see in other religions that are similar to Christianity. Rasta is the first to impact me as so because I do believe in some of the beliefs that are found in this religion....When I explore the tenets of the Rasta culture, I feel at home. I have found an enlightened path. Everyone's path is different and we are but so lucky and blessed if we are to find the right ones for ourselves before our time on this earth is over.

I do believe in the One Love movement...I do believe that human institutions are extremely flawed and that we are living in a Babylon system. My road is the path to Zion...or Heaven if you will.

I am on a truthseeking path that goes far beyond my bible studies and Sunday visits to the Sanctuary. I am growing to become a better person to follow Jah's will. I am learning to love myself and accept myself because all this time I thought I did accept myself. So I hope this does not alarm any of my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord. I know I mentioned some of my "newfound" views to others once and they kind of gave me this "you are falling into a cult" look. Please know that it is nothing like that. It is not a cult. This is real. This is the truth and I am simply trying to learn from others and decipher the truth for myself. I am trying to get a message out and the main one is that we need to wake up and reject this society.

I truly respect the Rasta belief system and lifestyle and I look to learn more from a group of enlightened people such as the Rastas.

One Love and Jah Bless.
