Words of the Wise

"You may go up and down upon the earth and through all regions in the next life, but you will never find a local representation of either heaven or hell. Then what are we to do? We are to build up heaven and destroy the hell within us. As many as have this heaven are under the law of God in reality where the Christ principles will be lived and all the joy that man can now think will be his to live continuously. It is useless for on to pray to God for salvation when he is not living for that salvation and asking for it to come in his own nature.
We may say that Christ saves sinners. Whatever He has dont to save sinners has been by their being stired to sympathy for His sufferings and death. THey feel that He is unlike other men; that if they could follow Him they would be saved. But if you believe the principles of Christ to be what they purport to be, and instead of feeling that they are all in the past and away off where you can not reach them, that they stand before you today as emblems of purity to follow and work for as if Christ was on earth today whre you could see Him face to face, you might follow Christ in reality.
Christ can never save you or any man through the belief that He has died and gone to His Father. That life is now the example for every one to try to live to, not as a dead Christ but as a living principle of God in the heart. Do not look at Him on a physical cross, do not think of ascending to a local heaven to find God, for God is "nigh thee, even in thy heart and in thy mouth." Christ will be found there if you find Him at all."
-Mary Hayes Chynoweth (Early 1800s)

Haile Sellassie I lives in the heart of flesh, and the only way He lives on is within I&I living up to His example.
JAH Rastafari
