Thank you for your intervention in the squabble.
Baba, I would hope to be able to seek your sights and digest them regarding hierarchy amongst mankind.
It has been my sights, for a long time now that ANY kind of hierarchy is the root of imbalance and animosity and conflict.
Hierarchy, in the context that I am using, is not about leadership or guidance. Hierarchy is the positioning of someone above another. In other words, calling or treating someone "better" or "greater" which MUST have an opposite: "lessor".
If we look at ANY civilization or ANY society (of which hierarchy did exist one way or another) we will clearly see conflict and oppression. If we look at the "biggest" and "strongest" civilizations/societies, we see harder falls...WHY???. I sight that it is against the natural balanced flow of the Universe (Nature/Time) for anything to be better/greater AND it is also against the natural balanced flow for anything to be lessor. What is called "Ma'at" is the always present compensating action that actively works against any imbalance. Those who are in tyranical positions are always in defiance to Nature/Ma'at, and those being oppressed are in compliance with nature/Ma'at. So for instance, it is of righteousness and in harmony with the Universe for black people to eventually unite and RISE UP against the tyranny. But ONLY with the consciousness that indeed we are in the graces and blessings of EVERY speck of matter and EVERY bit of energy.
That is why, if you notice, that we are being oppressed via distraction and delusion instead of actual brute force. That is why I believe that AIDs is nothing more than a giant obstacle that distracts our trust/communion with our Queens and their trust/communion with us. We suspect our sisters as possible silent murderers instead of embracing them as the Createsses of humanity.
That is why I truly believe, as you said, that the Rastafari Movement was the response/calling of the Universe against white male oppression and supremacy and atrocity.
I have not, in my observations and experience, seen any evidence that suggests that ANYTHING or ANYONE is "naturally" created better than of lessor than anything or anyone else.
So it is with the realization that you have the wisdom of the many years of witnessing the actions of Life that I ask you for your sights.
Even though selassielive's comments could help me, I have not had the opportunity to hear from you as often as I hear from him and would ask for your word/sound FIRST before I re-engage him or anyone else on this topic.
I am asking for your word so that I may digest your sights/truths. Perhaps then, I may be reinforced in my convictions or would then be open to other differing opinions.
Thank you for the peace offering.
