Excerpt (1)

FOREWORD - Page 6

IT IS NOT GIVEN FOR EVERY MAN TO BE A RASTA

IF A YOUTH PUTTETH UPON HIS SHOULDERS A HEAVY BURDEN BEYOND HIS STRENGTH TO BEAR HE WILL FALL AND BE CRUSHED BY IT AND HE WOULD NOT OF ADVANCED HIS PROGRESS NOR OF INCREASED HIS STRENGTH

THE CONDUCT THAT THE WISE YOUTH SHOULD PURSUE

SHOULD HE FEEL THAT HE POSSESSES THE COURAGE TO TREAD THE NOBLE PATH LET HIM FORWARD TO ETHIOPIA

BUT IF A YOUTH FEELETH NOT WITHIN HIMSELF THE HEART STRENGTH TO MAKE THE ARDIOUS JOURNEY LET HIM TREAD THE PATH OF THE WORLD FOR IN THE WORLD TOO LIETH A PATH THAT ASCENDETH

AND LEADETH TO THE THRESHOLD OF TRUTH

BUT HE WHO TREADETH THE WORLDLY PATH SHOULD CONTEMPLATE THE JOYS AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS WHICH JAH HATH ADORNED THE WORLD WITH AND ON HIS FACE CHEERFULNESS SHOULD SHINE EVEN AS ON THE FACE OF THE RASTA SHINETH SPIRITUAL CALM HE WHO LIVETH IN THE WORLD WITH A SOUR AND DISCONTENTED HEART TREADETH THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION SELAH

THE CORONATION - Page 15

“Behold the invisible path to the City of Jah! O wondrous things are said of thee; I shall make mention to the captives in the dwelling places of men that Jah is to be revered! Be it across the parched desert!”

Turning to the south, “Be it in the depths of the sea!”

Turning to the east, “Be it in the whirlwind!” Turning to the north, “Be it in the belly of the beast!”

I beheld no wondrous city, but the unknown Ogaden desert sweltering in the burning sun, the haunt of spectres and dead carrion.

SPEARHEAD OF THE NAZARITES - Page 189

He swiftly moved up in rank in their order. He reorganised their spiritual army, sent them into the farms and hamlets; they confused the peasant folk and warped their simple minds to follow his sick teachings. All state taxes were confiscated to his coffers, his following grew in thousands. Most of his clan had one primal goal: to destroy Rome and loot the Vatican.

DRUMHEART - Page 217

I AM THE VOICE OF HOPE IN THIS WORLD

I AM THE ETERNAL YOUTH OF NATURE

IN THE DEPTHS OF THE MATERIAL WORLD

LIETH HID THE WATER WHICH WELLETH UP

IN THE FOUNTAIN OF IMMORTALITY

THE GLORY OF THE SUN HAVE I ABSORBED

IN MY LOCKS

FROM THE VIBRATION OF MY DRUM I DRAW

DOWN THE SPIRIT INTO THE BODY OF MAN

INTO HIS FALLEN SOUL I BREATHE THE HOPE OF REDEMPTION

THROUGH ME COMETH TO MAN THE COURAGE TO STRUGGLE AGAINST BONDAGE IN WHICH HE IS PLACED
