 I'm writing this as God has revealed these things to me & off the standards I was taught to believe..just speaking my mind. ((this is the 2nd time I'm having to type this out because I'm tarted & accidently hit the back button))
the Rastafarian techings go off biblical teachings & are the people are known for showcasing their religious image proudly...a crowned lion, this is the lion of Judah (Jesus) holding a flag of red, green & yellow. They believe in heaven but refer to it as Zion - Zion being another name for Jeruselem but they mean the NEW Jeruselem, not as we know it naturaly now. That the blood Jesus shed on calvary indeed has the power to wash away the sin of man. One God - that the father, son & spirit are one. "Jah" is a term they use only meaning "God" & no, not only Jamacians are rasta. The tribulation, that one day the earth will be overcome with violence & evil coming to an end as we know it, and there will be people who have to suffer this. all sounds like it's in line right? Well there's only ONE thing....can't say ALL of them believe this but the only wrong in with their teaching - is a man named Haile Selassie I (Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974) was the re-incarnant of Jesus. As to why is still a bit hazy to me......but there's proof he was the last king with decent of King Solomon of Isreal. This royal blood is from his grandmother, Princess Tenagnework Sahle Selassie, who was an aunt of Emperor Menelik II, who's grandfather Sahle Sellasie traces to Menelik I, who was the 1st male ruler of Sheba, being the area was always govorned by "warrior queens". Before hand his mother was Makeda, Queen of Sheba - which was parts of modern day Eritrea, Ethiopia Yemen & Lower Egypt (Nubia). Issue is the biblical Hebrew account of the relation between King Solomon & Queen Makeda was only over matters related to the state of their countries & Solomon's wisdom; sexual relations where only claimed by Ethiopian history, since there is no other possible father listed anywhere it's hard to be conclusive on the matter. now I'm not COMPLETELY sure about this, but its said that King Soloman had Melenik, one son from each of his nobelmen & one son from each temple priest bring the Ark of the Covenent to a small town called Axum in Ethiopia, where it suposably sits to this day. So with a bloodline traced back to biblical jewish royalty I can see how someone who isnt completely educated on the second coming of the lord could believe Jesus would be born all over again...but this man is long dead & gone so why are God's people still here? because the spirit is still on earth, cant have the tribulation occur with the spirit here & the lord's second time here WILL be to remove his people. Now if you where to remove this man from the equation, everything still stands as truth, its just up to the individual to stand for what is biblicaly sound & what isnt, even Bob Marley was baptized into a christian orthodox church before he passed. Now on to the marijuana, don't think in ANY way I'm promoting it I'm just stating what they believe. "smoking the herb reveals you to yourself" basicly that when youre high you can channel, hear, understand & be more open to God's voice & his word.
5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
back in the 60's when people where droppin acid they thought it made them more giving & receptive to love...because it did. LSD occurs naturaly in rye, barley & wheat as ergot, which is a fungus, that grows as black kernels on those plants. what acid does emotionaly ((among other things)) is makes our receptors located on our cell membrane of nerve cells less receptive of serotonin... serotonin being the neurotransmitter (basicly carry info from one cell to another) that regulates & amplifies things like anger, agression, appetite, tempreture...ect. extacy (MDMA), like LSD is a blocker for serotonin but in no way is it natural, its basicly a compound of different amphetamines mixed with different psychadelics or stimulants, which makes a pill "based" (coke based, mesculin based, heroin based, acid based, meth based..list goes on) which can make a person happy for a certain period of time....but too much blockage on serotonin can cause an overdose OF serotonin, easiest way to word this is it can basicly bleed into your spinal chord and cause a number of different issues. when someone overdoses on acid or x its not something you go to the hospital for then youre fine, these drugs cause depression & altered perception on reality (duh) but I'm talking days, even weeks AFTER use. you start to see & hear things that arent there, you find yourself having a hard time simply trying to talk straight. the following is from my own opinion & things I've been through, being 1st account or my friends - having your hands, feet & tounge go numb for no reason isnt a small deal. thinking your bed is trying to eat you or swearing up & down there's a monster in your tub trying to feed the drain dosent mean youre "fine" & waking up in the middle of the night because things keep grabbing your leg isnt something that goes away over night. going from completely happy for a few hours or even days to a crash that comes complete with anxiety, paranoia & insomnia isnt worth it. I believe there are certain drugs that allow us to conect with our spiritual bodies more easily, but it takes effort to even TRY getting those POSSITIVE effects...alot of those drugs open you up to spiritual attack, maybe those shadows & voices are actually there on occasion. peyote (mesculine) was smoked in circles specificaly dedicated to hearing & seeing things from God by native americans for hundreds of years and they did fine...but how many of those people where EVER recorded to be addicted or abusive of it? none, nothing even comes close to proving it ever happened. why? because these people respected the plant & themselves to use it for only a few specific reasons. it takes a very self-disiplined & controled person to even try acid or extacy for those reasons ((because it is possible)) but anymore no one has that power or people only use spiritual enlightenment as a skapegoat, which is really sad because I think some people could benefit from these things. One person I know was at a concert trippin back in the 80's, this person was unaware of how dark the music really was & for a moment God literaly spoke to them & made them reflect on where they where, the people around them, what they where listening to & had them instantly repent. their eyes where open to the wrongs they didnt even know they where doing. Extacy, when used in a controled surrounding, is a VERY therapeutic drug because while someone is rolling, theyre actually very likely to speak about emotions, burdons, expierences that have very negativly impacted them. example? PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD.......there are suppresed emotions that cause these things it just dosent appear out of nowhere for the most part. things like child abuse (being emotional / physical / sexual), witnessing a crime, guilt for something that occured, neglect, exposure to negative things, supression from too many thing.....theres alot. issue is, even in a "controled" environment the person listening to these things would have to know how explain why it happened, how they can get over it......possitive things then knowing how to direct & control where it ends up. to help the person come to terms with what happened overal, but sadly most people couldnt handle that because they wouldnt know how to, or they would become overwelmed in the process. typically rolling can last between maybe 3-48hrs till it's effects start to ware of pending on how much you've taken & how long apart the doses where....for the most part NO ONE can be as supportive as it takes to really tackle that task sober. Plus acid & x start to lose their effects the more you use, making addiction a little hard, but not impossible. someone being addicted to extacy only has a deathwish theyre trying to follow through with because youre only eating your brain after some time hardly feeling the same effects. your music has to get louder, the colors grow to be more obnoxious, youre eating your brian ((LITERALY)) for no reason & its just pointless. solution? dont do any of it. I know it really sounds cliche but you really can just give those things to God, aslong as you cast away the misconception healing is ALWAYS RIGHT AWAY. God's been "healing" me since I was 15, I'll be 17 this September & thats only the really "deep" part of it which has been more so since December of last year. it may have been sooner if I grew up a little to realize why I was so messed up. its what hapens when we're kids tho...just part of growing up...we all learn differently. I've been learning "fast" for a while, but its only because I've been learning "hard". another thing to keep in mind is once you go too far off because of extacy you just dont come back, the stuff literaly puts holes in the brain. cells visiably deminish little by little, slowing reaction time, speach, thinking process & eventualy just make you apathetic beyond your own choice - that says alot because brain cells dont "die", they just grow further and further apart, you can train them to go back but it takes a VERY long time with specific things one has to practice to build them closer again, nearly impossible. I guess learning hard is better than not learning at all....how else can you explain why people just keep making the same mistakes? find yourself in the same issues constantly maybe youre not getting the hint. what to do? pray, start goin to church & stop doing the things that lead you up to those issues. God will constantly put us through things when he's trying to tell us something, we just dont listen. Not saying this is for every situation..just reoccuring things have the tendancy to dissapear when we become more obedient to the lord... but that dosent promise life will be perfect either. Does it really matter if God is on our side though? does to me. I worry about things & they weigh heavy on me but I REALIZE and I KNOW God has control, I'm not overtaken by my issues, its just my nature to anxious over things but when its just me & Jesus...ofcourse I pour myself out, why wouldnt I? I'm getting more into myself than I really wanted but it just bothers me when someone isnt led by the lord when it comes to me. not going into detail about that aside from what follows. People notice my hatchetman & assume I'm some kind of crazy evil devil worshiping "white kid" who listens to ICP....theyre obviously DEAD wrong but they don't know that. we're supposed to lead as examples but I'll tell you right now most juggalos dont even know what this is really about, so when some kid tells you "being a juggalo means I do whatever I want whenever I want and I just dont care" is wrong. this is what it means
I am a Juggalo...
I am an individual guided by Light...
I know who I am and who I want to be.
I recognize that the path to Shangri La requires an open mind...
I shall not judge.
I am part of a Family...
I shall Love my Family as I would my blood.
I shall do my Family no harm as I know what is done to others shall surely be done to me...
I shall strive to honor my Family and not disgrace their name.
I am a Ninja...
I have no Fear.
I do not Fear the unknown fore I embrace the wonders of the world around me and the differences in others.
I shall meet adversity head on fore I am a Survivor.
Nothing can stop my Shine.
I am Human...
I recognize my flaws.
I shall strive to change the things I can control and seek strength for the things I cannot.
I shall cherish the teachings of my ancestors and the Family who have fallen before me
I have Love.
With Love there is Unity and Strength.
Love does not hurt nor does it seek to destroy.
I too, shall not hurt or seek to destroy.
With Love in my Heart, Love for my Family
and Love for the Carnival... I shall find my path to Shangri La
this is a TRUE juggalo's creed.
suprising? shouldnt be. you see.....waaay back in the late 80's a group of people known today as the Insane Clown Posse started up this brain child called The Dark Carnival..purpose? to unite the misfits of society to a family that could remain untouched forever...but there was more to it; which I'll get to in just a moment. the dark carnival consists of 6 jokers cards, each one representing a "side" to this mystic ideal, which would travel around the world to spread a message of unity, strength & love. 1st card - The Carnival of Carnage - introduction to a place that understands the down & outs we all expirence, but stronger than what "normal" people know of. a place where your accepted NO MATTER WHAT, place trhat would teach you what real love was about because lord knows if youre lookin to get in GENUILY its because you havent found it anywhere else. a place thats rough around the edges, not to appeal to the kid singing in choir every week, but that wierd kid in scool everyone teased to the brink of tears every week. the people who have a hard exterior & even harder attitudes to protect their fragile interiors. these people are probably more loving than ANY one you've run into on the street. the shirt off their back LITERALY, their last few dollars to someone askin even tho they have nothing themselves., dosent matter race, gender, income... we are the same. an introduction to God and his people::: we are paculier, just in our way. 2nd card - The Ring Master - stating that God is head of us & what we do, that if you mess with any of those in his "circus" you will be taken care of, that God is in control & foresees over our actions, right or wrong. 3rd card (my personal favorite) - The Riddle Box - stating after this life is done you will be subjected to a judgement that will lead you to the place you'll spend for the rest of eternity, that everything you've ever done will be taken into consiteration. 4th - The Great Milenko - this showcases the power God has over everything ((& it makes sence seeing as how this is actually the most famous album to date..wonder why? :P)). 5th - The Jackel Brothers - these two are twins, they represent the two sides of the human soul each individual has, but its a matter of which side we choose to live by. path lead to Shangri-La by Jake Jackel - morals / kindness / possitivity / love..ect. ||||||||||| path mislead to Shangri-la lead by Jack Jackel, - wicketry / negativity / hate..ect. 6th card - The Wraith ((pronounced 'raith')) Shangri-La / Hell's pitt ...the intro to this can speak for itself "A presence can be felt by those have followed the epic saga as told by the Insane Clown Posse, it is a presence that is unanamus to the crumbaling of time itself, thus emerges a being so powerful he can exsist between the land of the living and that of the dead: he goes by many names but is known to the living only as "the Wraith" he walks upon worlds forgotten & decends from heavens faded to grey to wittness the death of all mortal things so he may guide the departed to the paths that they have chosen HERE is the story to the path of Shangri-La, the 6th joker's card only now will we TRULY understand the saga for this saga all along, each joker's card is actually non other than the echo of our life." have to realize, before this record was released these things where hidden & subliminal to everyone who wasnt spirit filled, or knew the truth. I was origanaly just a little 5yr old girl ((two years before I was baptized then filled)) in 1st grade when I heard the song "commin home" off the Riddle Box....& I cried my heart out rite in the middle of free time durring class. I knew what the message was & I knew they where something different than what everyone else saw as acceptable. it took me till 3rd grade to find out who it was I had heard that day on a friend's walkman but the words never faded from my mind being ((please forgive the cursing best you can, I know its hard but try to undertand)) "home to the creatures, home to the crooks, home to the fools readin witchcraft books, home to the monsters roamin the land, I wanna come home but ya dont understand ---- so what the * am I doing down here when I have a land all my own? aye yo dog * it, we goin home" ... lyrics like "people drawn together, by rare & strumming music & we even gather once a year to put it down ----- so when the wraith is callin walk into the light --- dressed in hatchet red, we speak languages people dont understand --- I got ninjas at my back, I'm wearin abk paint & thinkin what the * is goin on, then I see the platinum on the wall & I realize the carnival's been here all along --- we just hope the joker cards will point you out to the light so you'll be tight" its a Godly message fashoned to those who probably would have never heard any other way. all the cursing, gore & insanity is just there to keep other people away, people who probably just dont need to be there. people sometimes think we "hide behind" the paint..thats us comming out, just another little outlet we can let creativity flow. plus its fun!! ((yeah yeah we act like 7yr olds...I know)) for the people this was meant to reach, its a feeling deep down inside that gets stired up when certain songs are played, really will bring us to just let the tears flow...see it all the time when we gather, they start chanting "FAM-I-LY! FAM-I-LY!!" and you get flesh colored streaks through the paint.. its hard to understand for the people who dont try, some people will get a little idea, but it goes deeper than you can imagine. picture this - you would be able to walk up to ANY person, give them a hug & just pour out about anything & everything youre going through or WHATEVER you wanted, and they wouldnt look at you like you where absolutly insane, that they would listen, give advise, manage to put a smile on your face without even trying then CONTINUE to be there if they could. sometimes tho you just run into those special juggs, only talk for 20mins but you dont ever end up forgetting them. its a beautiful thing we dont always see...even in places it NEEDS to be. the words I put in bold face had no connection to the Lord for nearly all the people listening, that they set up tid bits of scriptures all over the place & very few would automaticly finish them, but at the end of this album it was flat out truth on what the people had been listening to & believing.

I cant even begin to explain the expression of shock the came across SO many people's faces when they heard this song for the 1st time, I was personaly LITERALY on the floor, crying, speaking in tounges completely slain in the spirit.. hard to believe I can imagine but this is what its all about & having them openly SAY all these things, I knew all the seeds I had planted would be watered the moment the truth was revealed. but some of you may not have noticed a few things in there that where even set up in those lyrics....they also chose a circus because of the ringling bro.s - ((((WHICH EVERYONE NEEDS TO BOYCOTT!!! AN ELIPHANT SHOULD NEVER BE CHAINED UP LIKE A DOG FOR FINANCIAL GAIN!! ... I'll post about that kinda stuff later)))) - have "three rings", well in one of their songs they refer to the Wraith, the great milenko & the ring master as "the tripple threat" ..being father, son, spirit... that these things may seem seperate, but theyre all in the same... understand? then "dog beats" was one of their 1st albums they let out that set up the way for the jokers cards... pretty simple with this one, just flip it backwards; GOD beats. after this album - The Wraith - Shangri-La - there was the 2nd side of the card called "hell's pitt" pretty self explanitory... warned of whats gonna happen to those who chose to dispel the warning of the 1st half. Being a juggalo dosent make you a christan, but it dosent make you a satanist either. beliefe in THE CARNIVAL is more the holy side..... being a juggalo is just being you, whoever that may be, ICP just wanted to point everyone to the truth. now there are lots of different artists, including some of my personal friends on 7th Seal Entertainment that are underground juggalos who speak on ALL different topics. we call things as we see them.. oppose violence, sexism, racism, animal abuse, corrupt government, child abuse, rape, domestic abuse, even when it dosent seem so, but we always stand for love. to be honest tho...even from the inside... there are too many people getting into this for self. cant tell you how many kids talk about how many cds they have, how many shows theyve been to, how they get arrested all the time...this isnt what we're about. we come from ALL walks of life but its just a fact most of us dont exactly come from money. cant tell you how many people will show up to a show & pick a fight with someone for no reason. how often I'll see a female hangin waaaay too hard on a juggalo or artist for the attention. people who annoyingly overplay our love for eachother just to seem cool. theres a difference between finding your place in our love and doing it to be "fresh". not all underground artists are true to the meaning either though..while alot of them are, more & more you just see "halloween rappers"..cover themselves with blood, rap about murder with no real message & LITERALY claim satan. they do spew hatred & they have more "cult" like following than fans..say you dont like an artist & theres a possibility you'll get jumped for it. personaly had ALOT of drama last year just because I supported 7SE over the local people around here. we believe we should take back our music, show people theres more to us than killing, stealing & self absorpsion...but they hate us for it. ridiculas. a guy named Esham started this little genra.. its called wicked s***, why? because it only SEEMS dark if you cant find the little messages, now its turning into "murder rap" it is what it is.....trash. its not only kids doing it either..which is pathetic. things this good dont always stay as perfect as when they started out...but we're still here & thats what matters even now not everyone knows what we're about but God is still reaching people through this music. truth is tho...we even find these people in the church. all these wealth & blessing preachers, all the people going to church to please other individuals, everyone "playing" saint... time will come.
"me & my homies stay tight like a noose & if you step to one ya better step to the whole crew; I never knew that I could depend that I could have some friends that's down to the very end, but thats my homeboys - excuse me my family, & when we conquor the world we mackin on the galaxy; cause skys the limit & we aint finished & if my homies gonn' rydin than you know I'm with it"
WHOOP WHOOP!!!!
oh...and WE ARENT A GANG!!!!!!!! we're family..... really tough family, cant jump anyone in or anything retarded like that so dont listen to anyone sayin differently.
this was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than I ever intended but it is what it is... a glimpse in my mind, take it as is. |
