My beloved, come let us reason together, what I have written I have written, and I am writing it again, you can live to smoke, but you do not have to smoke to live.
Now putting a cigarette, or a spliff, or some kind of external substance into you mouth, and smoking it, is much different from breathing in some kind of pollution, of various piosonous substance in the polluted atmosphere. I was a young person like yourself and others, and I was involved, and I am only sharing some of my observations, from my many oceans of Iyaperiences. If the watchman seeth the danger and warn not his people, then the burden will rest upon his mind.
As a young person I was very observant, and was not quick to follow the crowd, but I would question everything until I was convinced that they were based on truth and rights before I proceed to follow. There are certain Iyaperiences which I have gathered over the years, which I will not share on this internet, but if we were assembled in a given gate, then I will open my door of knowledge and let it flow like a mighty river.
Again come let us reason together, as I said before I am interested in Reformation, and that I wrote this post for edification. So now I will just ask a few questions and any one have the answer can give it.
(1)Do know if HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY SMOKE ganja or any other external substances?
(2) Did you know that some of our own Rastafari people, who have gone to live in Ethiopia and other parts of Mama Africa, have been lock up for Ganja and imprisoned in Ethiopia as well?
(3) I am saying that humanity do not have to smoke to live, is any one out there who is dis- agreeing with my statement.
(4) I am also saying from Iyaperience that there is an accumilation of brown looking tar on the walls of the steam pipe, which also enters our organs as we smoke, do you think we should investigate this or sweep it under the carpet?
(5) I am also saying that we can offer sacrements of smoke without smoking and letting the smoke out of our noses, what do you all think?
(6) I am also asking if it is worth the risk to put yourselves into a situation where you can be trapped by babywrong, and sent to prison, leaving your children behind to suffer and fend for themselves at a very early age?
(7) Is smoking a social adaption and addiction and what is the real reason why people think that they have to smoke?
I am seeking to learn my self as a student in the great university of adversity. It is important know, that one must be student before he can become a teacher. It is therefore with great humbleness that I ask the above questions, just to see what I can learn. I am looking forward for some enlightening responses.
Again I send many oceans of love and tolerance.
ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART.
