I Love You Barbados
It is about two weeks since Barbadians were forced to take cover from the La Soufriere volcano ash fall located in St. Vincent. Many of us were not around to witness a similar event in 1902, however, many recall vividly or vaguely depending on ones age 1979. As the 2021 hurricane season approaches, Barbadians through the years have been spared serious fallout from ‘Acts of God’ and an understandable complacent attitude has taken root. The seriousness of the ongoing La Soufriere event may help to change the attitude.
This morning the blogmaster threw open a window and smiled at the sight of a less grey environs. In fact there was a gratifying sense that the effect of the ash fall had become less of an issue as Barbadians – despite the prevailing economic and COVID 19 related challenges – are getting on with the business of managing respective households the best way they know how.
This morning like many mornings gone the blogmaster scanned the international and regional newsfeeds and smiled a wry smile at the involuntary sigh of satisfaction – the blogmaster would not trade places with any other soul living elsewhere at this moment.

“what ethnic was King David? Or in other words: was King David Ethiopian, Egyptian are Europeans Jew?”
King David was an afroasiatic jew from the tribal family of Israel and Selassie was the root of David due to King Solomon and Queen of Sheba
refer to I Kings 10:1-13 and in II Chronicles 9:1-12 and Kebra Negast

There is this belief among members of the Rastafarian faith that Hailie Selassie traced his lineage back to King David, and if such is a case, it would turn the entire religion of Christianity on its head, because the Holy Bible teaches quite the opposite.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So too can King Agamemnon, Achilles, Apollo, Jesus and even you, if you were to use your “Bible” as the only source of the World’s history.
Even Confucius or the Hindu Brahmins might be able trace their ancestry back to King David and even to the womanizing Abraham.
Listen up Domps the Fenty boy, the Judeo-Christian ‘doctored’ book is nothing more than a collection of concocted myths and plagiarized legends ‘stolen’ from other cultures especially the Sumerian and Egyptian.

The common understanding of King David from the Christian worldview is that he was of European rather than Egyptian lineage, so that would in of itself excluded Selassie from being of David’s bloodline.

So what wrote this book of myths?
Nevertheless, I don’t dispute your argument, because looking through the Secular Eye, I would also hold such a view as well because it is only through Spiritual eye that one it able to see the words of the Bible come alive.

“The common understanding of King David from the Christian worldview is that he was of European rather than Egyptian lineage”
King David was from the Tribe of Judah born in Bethlehem, Israel (1000+BC).
White / European Jews are Ashkenazi Jews, also known as Ashkenazic Jews, Ashkenazim are a Jewish diaspora population who coalesced in the Holy Roman Empire around the end of the first millennium and were jewish males who went to Europe for work and intermarried with Europeans. Sephardi Jews, also known as Sephardic Jews, Sephardim, or Hispanic Jews by modern scholars, are a Jewish ethnic division originating from traditionally established communities in the Iberian Peninsula. The term “Sephardim” sometimes refers to Eastern Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa.

And it was this ‘ group’ which was ‘religiously’ and pivotally involved in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade including the Barbadoes ‘arm’ of the business with the introduction of sugarcane from Brazil being the magnet.
Many people of this same group converted to the expanding ‘Christianity’ in order to white-wash their sinful involvement in the very profitable trade which turned Western Europe into a paradise of profitable commerce and provided the springboard for modern capitalism.

Racism: A Spiritual Perspective
By Ancestral Voices
A 42-minute video presentation that explores the spiritual impact of racism through the lens of what is now commonly referred to as the Seven Hermetic principles. It covers a range of areas including ideas and beliefs internalised from childhood that shape our perception of self, community and reality. It also assesses the role and use of educational and political institutions, the media and the socialisation process to further normalise such ideas and narratives.
It evaluates the psychological impact of racism and how it can manifest in thought, emotions and actions. The video concludes with spiritual solutions that can be applied to assist with overcoming such negative projections to repair and heal from their damaging effects so as to empower one’s sense of self.

For the corrupt fraudulent sellouts in the parliament who love to run scams against African descended people for self-enrichment, feeding thieving minorities while leaving the majority to suffer and think Africa or Ghana is their latest target, think again, ya will REGRET IT…..yall are greedy, self-absorbed, materialistic and now returning to ya African vomit.
“He Built all for Africa but did not Build even a House for Himself
Kwame Nkrumah ruled Ghana for 9 years: from 1957 to 1966, under this period he built at least an industry in every region of Ghana,
He built several newly Industrial Cities across Ghana including the Famous Tema and Akosombo industrial cities. These industrial cities housed several industries and production centres which produced nearly all commodity needs of the economy while employing the citizens.
He built roads which are still alive today after 60 years. In fact, Tema Motorway is still the best stretch of road in Ghana as we speak and it was built by Nkrumah.
The Colonial administration that ruled and exploited Ghana intentionally deprived the people of Northern parts of Ghana an access to education or any kind of development in order to force the people living in this areas to move to the Middle and Southern belts of Ghana for free labour. This was a strategy to divide the country so to create enmity among the locals in order that they cannot see themselves as one people or people of equals in order not to unite to fight the colonial exploitation. Knowing this, Kwame Nkrumah open up free education to those of us in the Northern belt of Ghana who have suffered such a grave discrimination and exploitation to help us recover when he assumed office as a president.
Again, Kwame Nkrumah built a gigantic African Line Hostel and dedicated this building to serve as a free housing for all African Freedom fighters who seek safety in Ghana. Today, this building has been converted and it is being used as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of Ghana.
Kwame Nkrumah did all these and so many others for Ghana and Africa at large without building a single structure of house or home for himself. In fact, Kwame Nkrumah has no house built by himself either in Ghana or Abroad. His only house is the 6 feet land on which he was buried on and the monument which was built in his honor. Yet, he built so much for many generations which we are still enjoying.
The Today’s politicians run the state and make losses, they leave huge debt for today and future generations while at the same time profitably running their private business and declaring gains for their families.
Kwame Nkrumah is gone but his spirit and good intentions live on. Rest In Power, Nkrumah never dies.”

Consciousness: we are one with the universe ….. the Higher Power gave to me a vision of the Heavens …. one early morning before work …. God took me from my car and into the Heavens …..and while I were in the Heavens ….
.. He gave a view from the Heavens on the the Earth and it was unexplainable as well as incomprehensible to the common understanding ….. but more importantly ….while I were in the Heavens looking down upon Earth ……….. I was devoid of my sense of gravity …..and it was as though I was one with the universe …. but I still possessed my cognitive awareness though I was divest of my physical abilities ….. but the tranquility I felt was beyond the human explanatory threshold …. though it was deadly silent ….. it felt euphoric….

That is one of the most coherent and lucid posts you have ever made here
Hindus have 33,000,000 deities to represent different forms of the one universal spirit (or God)
Just close your eyes and read the following..
How do we express devotion
what are we devoted to
lets find…
… what we are devoted to
let’s see if we can focus on those words
to be devoted to the great spirit
something unexplainable
but tangible
incomprehensible
but something we know is there
can we give our lives to that essence
to that quality
can we enrich our lives by being devoted to that great spirit
this is the challenge
and this is the potential
where devotion leads to eternity
