The discourse engaged in by General (Gen.) Thau Thau and his student in this video is exactly the kind of thing that should be applauded and encouraged by the Rastafarian community. Even so, it is important to always remember that every journey begins with one step, and with the Rastafarian Movement being just short of a hundred years young a good dose of patience with the emerging nature and direction of the Movement is highly recommended. It is certainly the case that four men walking along the same road would tell a different story once their sojourn comes to an end. There is no denying the fact that the two brothers appearing in this series of videos are well-versed in Philosophy, Theology, African Culture, and a host of other fields. And this commenter thinks that the General has done an excellent job in answering the question raised in the early part of the video as to “WHAT CONTRIBUTION DOES THE RASTAFARIAN FAITH HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT WE ARE FACING” (sic). Accordingly, it should be the duty of every Rastafarian to ensure that in our effort to propagate the purpose, vision, and mission of the Movement, we always do our best to ensure that nothing that we may say or do would ever leave anyone with the impression that the Movement is on a suicidal track of cannibalizing itself. As Gen. Thau Thau recognizes, the genesis of the Movement could best be understood as a response to colonialism in all of its forms in the Caribbean, Africa, America, and elsewhere. From being an ostracized and marginalized “subculture”, the Movement has emerged into a fledgling institution with a developing philosophy of its own. Today, the powers-that-be have come to recognize that the Philosophy of RASTAFARI is, indeed, a force to be reckoned with. The General is correct in his insistence that no Rastafarian should be satisfied with the notion that it is sufficient for RASTAFARI to be viewed merely as a radicalized black version of Christianity; complete with the acceptance of the Bible as the “Word of God”, the imitative doctrine of the “Black Christ”, and so on. But the errors inherent in such kinds of views, as promulgated by Ras Boanerges, Vernon Carrington (“Prophet Gad”), and Prince Emmanuel who, respectively, founded the Rastafarian sub-groups of Nyabinghi, Twelve Tribes, and Bobo Ashanti, should never detract from the fact that all of those gentlemen have played a critical role in taking the Movement from its embryonic stage in the ghettoes of Trenchtown, Jamaica to its more developed stage with a following of more than 10 million adherents around the world. In brief, every social institution is initially shaped by the institution from which it has derived. And because the Jamaican pioneers of the Movement were acculturated within the Christian milieu, it should come as no surprise that their conceptualizations of any system of thought worthy of replacing their inherited beliefs would be heavily tainted by such former beliefs. The magnitude of the challenge might best be appreciated by considering that even Professor PLO Lumumba, despite his keen intellect and masterful erudition, finds it difficult and even impossible to emancipate himself from the mental shackles of Christianity. And because the followers of “Christafari” (as opposed to the adherents of RASTAFARI) do not possess the intellectual acumen of a Prof. Lumumba, it is incumbent upon those of us who have beheld a greater light to carry the baton of the Rastafarian marathon an even greater distance until the ideals espoused by His Imperial Majesty (HIM) Emperor Haile Selassie I, The Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, President Kwame Nkrumah, and other enlightened African leaders and visionaries which has come to be known as RASTAFARI is eventually actualized.
Can I suggest another human who beyond taking sides which is the reason for so much human segmentation has spent most of his grown-up life vocalizing the seed that was in him and that, that was not corrupted by the environment, he grew up in? Born in South India and not known by many, Jiddu Krishnamurti realized that man due to a fault that is not his own over time has cultivated external growth but has done very little with what matters most; the inward man the same that can a revolution in man. Man has for example technologically kept himself alive in an incubator, only to send him to war to dismantle another to mean that the animal in man that is violence, aggressive, brutality has not anywhere over time. Time is not the solution to a human mind radical revolution which necessary to change. His suggestion is that an insight calls for an immediate mutation because all analysis brings about biasness. Rastafarianism may suffer the same destiny if time is used as the master. Check on him as he is huge on in getting us all to rejecting psychological authority. He magnifies how a human mind has not been slowed him down in building the society alongside his ills. Is the Rasta doing the same? He puts it that words and explanations are not the facts. Check on him and read his books. Freedom from the known is mind massaging. All the best. His name is Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Sellassie didn't see himself as god/ christ whom Sellassie worshipped nor did he command that he be emulated/followed but lo and behold we have people who created a lifestyle based on emulating Sellassie as a philosophy there's no central doctrine each follows his own desires
Greetings brothers I am of Jamaican parentage and I am now a man born in England 🇬🇧.
But I identify with an African trodding a life/livity resembling the Dread Rasta.
What I would ask unoo/you is I am I free to call omnipotent = potential?
If I am free then I am free, have a freedominion" seek out my own God given gift which I must present to the world in particular the African world's betterment.
This for I-man is what the Rastafari Protest Movements from the Jamaica.
Selah peace love and joy.
I should have got this knowledge when I was still Rasta. This my father’s house has many mansions was so confusing. Aba has given Rastafaria an African perspective with Indigenous Knowledge Systems. Powerful stuff.
you were never Rasta; you can put on the clothes for a while but it is an inborn concept
My brother's this is a beautiful piece I love or both of you go deep into rastafari I wish all of them would listen to the series would love to meet both of you give thanks my brother's give thanks
You guys are the best, just finished part one and to my surprise nayo part 2. Akwande!
Thank you for watching. We are glad that there are people who really enjoy watching, listening and learning. We try to do this for you 💌
Thanks! Thank you for the knowledge brothers. The Abrahamic belief systems have never resonated with me. I am not Rasta. Just believe in nature and universal energies. Everything is of god and is god.
You're not rasta You're hindu ,hindu believe that everything is god and god is everything and the word for that concept is called *Pantheism* you are what you eat and most certainly you are what you believe, rastas are only a few hundred thousand worldwide but hindus are. Over 1 billion so your winning over the rastas plus rastas only have one god while hindus have a infinite amount of god so your winning again 😅
I want to give thanks to all involved in this 🙏🏽💯
As i eluded that am learning a lot from this lecture...🤞🙌🙌🙌i give much thanks to that...
Thanks my lord if was not you I was still Inna dark life
ALL PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGHEST OF THE HIGH ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL IN ALL
This is my personal best podcast ever
Thank you Kat, we appreciate you 🤎
@@unpopularopinion_za I appreciate you more
I loved this . Siyabonga makhehla e’THU’.
This content is gold. I'm watching from Kenya and would appreciate english interpretations for the native terms used in the discussion. Bless up.
The articulation of how the bible is misinterpreted by people of faith is on point
Self love begins with loving your history ( imvelaphi yakho) coz you will always defend what you love and love what you defend. I'm grateful for such insightful knowledge you are sharing with us.
Listening is a skill... Hi khensa mahungu lamenene
Keep on enlightening me
❤️🙏I've Learned Alot I Can't Lie
Thaayu for this timely conversation 🧡❤️ I think many Rastas wouldn't be pleased bcs you're exposing the religious contradictions from an Indigenous analysis but there's much to appreciate from Rasta as a liberation movement ⚖️
In Ubuntu-Ma'at 💫🧿💫
a like before even viewing amazing channel
lucky to have found this
Yes I Rasta fi Lowe dis Zion talk…mutabaruka been saying this..I dem on point wid eh reasoning.
I love your reasoning. I am also so pleased that you spoke of InI in Rasta, especially pertaining to the inner Spiritual and the flesh and the other. Also to remember that Rasta say Selassie I not the Selassie the first. We say Yes I meaning the other, we say Iyah , Jahman meaning that Rasta identify with the inner divine. We say Idren for Bredrin. Iawta for daughter. Rasta recognise word sound power. Which equates to the vibration in The Laws of Tehuti or Hermeticism. I sight that HIM in the Irit (spirit) is Ausar in the Kemetic tree of life. Rasta is the bridge for InI in the west to cross over to our Afrikan Self and African Spirituality. Love
Further to this - I’m posing that the Rasta InI. Is the Rasta equivalent of Ubuntu. 🖤🖤🖤
very very informative.....mind cracking, boggling as well true and pure Africansim. Thaai Thathaiya Ngai Thaai......
Epistemologically in regards to Rastafari as a way of life validating the distinction between justified belief and opinion. Rastafari intellectually stands as the Antithesis to the neo-colonial method or way of life . I man give thank to the teachings. Most High Guidance 🦣.
I really like it when they say if you can't take the hit of the kitchen just get out of the kitchen!!! Understand, innerstand and overstand!!!
They are speaking in metaphors to my sleeping mind, I need more.
Give Thanks Gods, Separated from sinners and made to be above the heavens.
If there was a way of liking a video a million times. Truth to Power!!!
Just you being here and watching is greatly appreciated, thank you.
More, more, more!!!
I can't get enough of this ...
Lots of knowledge to digest.
One thing I picked up is that knowing your maternal language is crucial!
Rea itumela 🤲🏾🌞
Please do more like this talk. Very interesting and very informative. Amazing work my Brothers
appreciate this conversation, something is brewing
I’m here from TikTok. As a dreamer who sees and communes with ancestors I thank you for this.
Thank you for finding us. We Hope you enjoy.
Lol this as made me realised something about my Xitsonga language, we have this tendency of addressing one person as many ( n'wina) instead of you (Wena), I used to think it might be because of respect since we use it mostly on people who are older or of higher status but now I think it might be deeper
Very true. We also in Xitsonga don't have Ugogo or Mkhulu, we called them both Kokwani, not gender specific. But the conversation about idlozi vs ancestors confuses me more as someone who is re-learning about myself. My great-grandmother used to tell me about Ngwarhi refering to god and Swikwembu refering to ancestors. I was so young, I struggle to remember the details of my conversations with her, plus she was so old she was often confused herself.
It's a great knowledgeable conversation. I wish Abba Ayalew Amlak would not interfere so much when Master Thau Thau is bringing forth information!
Siyabulela ngazo ezi zifundiso , nganga mhla uthile ndizibone ndawoni enye nani bantu abadala. I know knowledge is never ending , yet I appreciate what you add on what I know and still yet to learn .
This episode changed my life
All Love Brother, we thank you for watching
I love everything about this content. I would love to adopt this in my life and one day teach it to my children. Baba please recommend books, teachings and or any other material to help in my journey
Hello. Hows your journey going?
@@obasanjokwantu Hi. I have been applying the teachings where I can and some of them I'm planning to apply in the future when the occasion permits. I still feel that I have a lot to learn. How's your journey?
I found you all on a clip on Fb . Thank you for sharing your knowledge. One Love from the Island of Trinidad .
Thank you, hope you have subscribed and have your alerts on for when new videos are uploaded. Thank you for watching.
@@unpopularopinion_za Yes I have , Im subscribed and get notifications and Im also a continuous viewer. I appreciate your content especially when it pertains to African Spirituality. It is time for children of the slave trade in diaspora to get back to our roots . thank you for teaching us .
@@aishawilliams5933 We appreciate you. Change is coming 🤎🤎🤎
@@unpopularopinion_za I am planning a trip to SA hopefully in September for the new year, do you think there would be any way possible to meet the rastafari teachers?
Came here from the tiktok clips. Informative
Brethren, this is the most blessed and beautiful theological, spiritual conversation and concepts of spiritual awareness and conciousness ,I have had the privilege to have heard ,give thanks ,🌍
The knowledge bulldozer thau thau big up
Finally things make sense to me… much gratitude.
Beautiful conversation with a wealth of knowledge 🥺🔥👌🏿💯
I appreciate this discussion and the balance between within you both. I first seen you both on a documentary about Rastafari tradition, and being a decendent of Afrikans in Jamaica, I overstood that what rastafari means today in Jamaica isn’t as it should be, at least, from my perspective. Thank you for the confirmation Ase
Jamaican government has kept the people ignorant. Many Rasta have far more real knowledge of historical context of the Bible than the average Jamaicans; there are also different types of Rasta
We give thanks✊🏾🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for listening to the comments in the first engagement.
Thoroughly enjoying this
Thank you for watching.
Love this discussion, so clearly explained by men of great wisdom... the bible is layered...you are your ancestors as the ALL is Mental. What is T(H(E)R)E) is also HE)R)E.
Such Great wisdom, God is good 🙏 Thokozani 🙌
Loving the Solution of bringing back self Love
Thank you Elders.When it comes to church we need to research more.I have different research.
I wish that everyone who is curious can take the time to listen to this interview and stop expecting us to take their ways of life and faith as gospel.
Nothing InI will say is different than what InI had already said in these comments. Dua/ammessegenalu/thAnkhs to the I for recording these reasonings and pushing this divine energy. Adept to say the least. Indigenous at its core. After seeing your interviews prior to this in another south african rasta documentary I give thankhs InI get another glimpse into then I upful Spiritual Iditation. Keep up the divine works. 🔥

I Think My Elders Here Must Chill Of Be Friends Of The Show Kwa PODCAST & CHILL!!

The spritual realm is big.God is a spirit and he manifests himself withing us and around us.The electricity within you.The electricity within the world the electricity is everywhere.In the birds in the soil in every atom.What makes up the atom is God.
God is much more bigger than what i can decribe.God is life and death and everything that exists.What is to become and what was.
What keeps the universe in perfect balance and orbits.Who keeps the solar system intact.Why doesnt it just fall to nothing?
God Is....
"Can I put you in a corner? " No. You can try. Love this discussion.
