Thank you brother Lydell. Your words resonate with me. I agree with you on all counts. It's just hard sometimes because it's easy to get caught up in the physical that we miss the spiritual. I know that in spirit he will always be with us. If it is his time to go we will miss the physical joy of seeing him. I am honored to have been his grandson and to know such a great man. The best gift he ever gave me was his genuineness in this world full of plastic.

Brother Joseph,

 

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I will certainly light a candle and pray for his recovery. Take courage my brother for no matter what we think we know about life or sickness and disease we never will know enough to be certain about the destiny of another.

My father had a triple anurism a couple of years ago. He had to have a triple by-pass, lost a kidney and the one he had was weak and failing. A year later he was on dialysis and could barely walk. Today to all his Dr.'s amazement he his off dialysis and doing so well he's out in the woods deer Hunting with his friends (one of his favorite past times). I'm not sayin it will be the same in your case. I am saying continue to live and love him and trust that whatever the outcome, your grandfather will continue living through you and the rest of your family. When I look in the mirror I see my father and grandfather. Sometimes when I laugh I hear them laughing through me. I am my father and my grandfather and all who came before me!

 

Peace Love and Courage my dear Brother!

Greetings family. I hope I find you in great spirits and peace of mind today. I come to you with a heavy heart and and request for prayer and knowledge on behalf of my grandfather. I received news last night that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I believe in the power of healing and that the Most High has provided us with everything we need to "live" on this earth. If you find it in your hearts, please pray for the ancestor he has been to me and my family and for this diagnosis to be reversed. My grandfather is one of the most giving people I have ever known. The gift he has given all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing him is the one I will always cherish. In a world full of plastic, he gave me something "real." I love you all and thank you in advance. "It is said that the true measure of a man is not in the number of zeroes in his bank account, but can be found in the number of lives he's touched. "It is in those lives that we find his spirit...."

Greetings, and
Much thanks for a warm welcome!
... My spiritual view on life is not within any specific religion, yet from very young age I have felt an affinity and resonance with Rastafari. Its a vibe, and the Heart feels and reads it.
Through my observations and what I have learned, there are many misunderstandings, mis-overstandings and mis-aligned often too rigid beliefs formed from interpretations and the meanings attached about many things in this world we're living in... and i also am capable of misunderstanding.
We are living on this Earth and cultural expressions can be mis-read, mis-interpreted and hence many people through here-say mis-lead... where as as truly the variety of expressions should/could be celebrated. Languages are wonderful and yet they also can cause a lot of confusion. ... and often time the tendency of our minds to try make sense of things, our desire to feel secure in what we know or think we know... and fear felt towards what is unfamiliar and 'strange'... can all cause a bit of a bitter stew of confusion. And perhaps indeed at the root of it, and at the center is an ache, the way we as species, as humanity, have been experiencing a disconnection from nature and from our Heart.


I am grateful for all the encouragement for Heart-based living and for endurance of difficulties, that I have encountered within Rasta Community and from the Rasta-people I have encountered. Many teachings that promote good, clean and healthy living. I look forward to learning more here on this site.
It has been within the meditations, music, conscious lyrics and the dances (sound-system-culture) where I have many times found a more sober environment to enjoy 'going out',... and time to let my mind-body-spirit align with my inherent purpose ... , while 'what-evers' been going on.
It to me is about Oneness, Peace, Love and respect ... & we must learn to get along.
Blessed Love.

Yes I. King of Kings as witnessed at his coronation at which Western leaders and the Papacy all accepted and concurred that He was the true kingly/biblical holder of the world throne.
