Jaa:ah (Jah)! Rastafari! King of Kings, Lord of Lords, conquering loins of the tribes of Judah. Or Rastafari, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, conquering loins of the (twelve) tribes of Judah, rule over the empires of Ethiopia, His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor Haile Selassie I, ever living and ever faithful Jah; JAH RAS TAFARI!
The above recitation or expressions are the greetings of our brethren, Rastafarians. We know lots of things and issues which are associated with Rastafari. It is high time we let the world know the realities and the truth about Rastafarianism. Rastafarianism is not something weird or evil practice that we may relate it to so many awkward criticisms.
Many people all over the world see the said practice as ‘weed’ (‘wee’) smoking groups; political-religious body based in Jamaica that believes that Africans must be free from all forms of oppressions and colonialisms, and that all White people are Babylons and evil, whereas the Black man is godlike. Some also perceive it as a black religious and cultural movement that has been formed to championing the socio-cultural and political liberation of Africa. Of course, there are so many misconceptions about Rastafarianism.
The concept of Rastafarianism is a complex phenomenon that contains real facts and misconceptions. There are positive and negative misconceptions about this practice. The positive misconceptions are those fallacious ideas people use to raise and promote the image of Rastafarianism. But the negative misconceptions are those fallacies the public employs to inhibit the progress of Rastafarianism. The practice’s critics have every right to express their views. And since we know that opinions are like noses everybody has one, then under no circumstances should we have the same perceptions about Rastafarianism.
In fact, for the sake of goodness and objectivity, we must show maturity with authenticity to buttress our stance on any issue. This is because what is good for the goose is also good the gander.
The Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary defines Rastafarian as “a member of a Jamaican religion whose followers worship the former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie as God.” The World Book Encyclopaedia (vol.16, 1992), however sees Rastafarians as “members of Ras Tafari, a religious and political movement that began in the Caribbean Sea Island of Jamaica in 1920s.”
Many brains perceive Rastafari/Rastafarianism in different ….[READ MORE]
RELIGION
There is one element that man primarily needs to survive in this world. And that is air, in particular oxygen. There are others like water and food that life solely depends on. This is why scientists conclude that the three essential elements for life are air, water and food. On the other hand, theologians and religious pundits also conclude that religion is indispensable in the life of man: the total life of man is wholly religious. Before we can understand the realities of Rastafarianism, we must critically delve into the nature of religion.
The two most reliable accurate books that give vivid accounts of the world and historical events are the Holy Bible, and the other books. For a better understanding of religion we must learn from history or we perish. Read and learn from history, and survive the tailspin of life. It is only the absent-minded who forgets the events of the past. History, they say, is the mother of future. Because, no history—no experience, and no experience—no learning, and no learning there would be no growth and development.
As a matter of fact, there is no one universal definition for religion. Irrespective of our diverse views about religion or the definition of religion, there are some commonalities which will be identified in all the definitions we may assign to religion. We can logically infer that religion is the recognition of the existence of a Supreme Being (god/deities) who is greater than man and the universe, and whom man constantly relies on and serves for protection. In other words, it is a system of beliefs which gives man a mental picture about the existence of a supernatural power that man seeks protection from. From the conception of religion to its inception until now, the ultimate and fundamental concern of man is for protection... [READ MORE]
The word intelligence, in brief, is one’s ability and capability to think and reason abstractly, and to handle or comprehend mental concepts. An IQ is an abbreviation of Intelligence Quotient. The word intelligence, as we read earlier, is one’s ability and capability to think and reason abstractly, and to handle or comprehend mental concepts. But quotient means the result (outcome) of dividing two numbers. So IQ is a number (or score) which represents the mental abilities and capabilities of a person in comprehending complex abstract ideas and his level of quickness in generally learning new concepts and reasoning logically from experience. Mathematically, IQ can be defined as the ratio of mental age (mental ability [MA]) to chronological age (CA) multiplied by 100. It is expressed as
. Performance of a person’s abilities and capabilities (intelligence) can be measured by using IQ tests (IQTs) or standardized intelligence tests [SITs] (standardized psychometric tests [SPTs]).
Mental age (MA) was first proposed and defined by a French psychologist Alfred Binet after experimenting with children with series of tests which later became intelligence test in 1905. But according to Wikipedia (2017), in 1890, …. [READ MORE]
Language is an arbitrary set of symbols, phonemes and gestures which follows sequential, structured and logical rules used in communication. In other words, language is organically dynamic sets of arbitrary symbols, phones (phonemes) and gestures used to communicate among humans and express thoughts. It is a system of words, symbols, sounds and gestures used to communicate among only humans to express thoughts in information transmission. There are more than six thousand (6000) different types of languages spoken worldwide. And each language is distinct and unique from one another. Language is human and it’s a characteristic of human. This means humans are the only creatures in this universe that use and create language whether spoken or written.
Animals (non-human beings) communicate amongst themselves but they don’t use language in the process of their communication. They mainly and merely innate sounds, gestures and timbre of whistles to ….

DREAMS
DREAMS are the imaginations of the mind that manifest in your sleep (or when you’re asleep). Dreams are performed by the mind not the soul or spirit. Which part of the body can recall your memory? Can your soul/spirit recall your memory? When your soul/spirit is out of your body in your dream and it’s doing something (like fighting, running, eating, having sex, being raped, crying, dying etc) can you recall what you were doing in your dreams (or what your soul/spirit was doing in your dream)? Did your soul or spirit or mind remember the actions (events) in your dreams? Was it your soul or spirit or mind which recalled information in your memory?
