You said : 'what would that mean for rastafari? if lij eyasu was allowed to ascend the thrown of ethiopia. his story would not be the same story. '
True. But, I was told that everything that can happen, does happen. And, it seems that quantum mechanics (through the 'Uncertainty Principle') agrees with this view.
My overstanding from what I was told goes like this : Each moment is the source of various possibilities. We call the sensing of these possibilities 'premonition', 'intuition', or 'temptation'. Yet, everything that can happen happens; this is reality.
If everything that can happen truly happens, then the ability to move from one beneficial occurence to another is one that must be cultivated because, for us Africans, the shape of Hell is not yet ascertained.
We define Hell as a negative situation that does not improve and although we have experienced wars that destroyed civilizations, followed by slavery and colonisation which were then followed by the mis-government of indigenous imbeciles (after 'in-dependance'), we can still say the shape of Hell is not yet ascertained because Hell is a negative situation that CAN NOT be eased.
We can say the shape of Hell is not yet determined because, there is another world just like this one, it exists beneath this one like a band in a rainbow. It is almost like this one but just a little bit worse. And under it there is another world, just like it but a little bit worse and so on till we get to what is truly Hell.
And above us there is another world, just like this one but a little bit better. Above it, another world, just like it but a little bit better and so on till we get to what is truly Paradise.
These worlds all exist now and are as they have been and will be for all time. All the elements within them are the same but for one. This is how the spectrum of worlds is made up.
We may call the difference between them time or we may call it consciousness. If we call it consciousness, then we may realise that we are confronted with an opportunity; a concession granted us by our maker in order that we may climb towards freedom. These worlds exist and true progress is, if day by day, by holding onto the truth, we mold the components that make up our world until finally, we stand at the edge of Heaven.
If we follow demons, then we will be led deeper into the hell side of the spectrum. We will know when this is happening because our todays will be just a little bit worse than our yesterdays. If we follow the truth, then we will progress through the spectrum until we achieve Paradise.
"Amona se ona Ara. Ooto si ona Ara" - The Maker of Ways made the wondrous Way.Truth opens the wondrous Way.
What is eternal within us does not change. What changes are the components of the worlds within and outside of us. To change the world outside, we must change the world inside, remove the negative elements - those things that cost us energy but bring back low returns.
Wisdom and Strength.
