Because &quot;all you need to know is already made available to you&quot;, isn't it possible that the subjective interpretation of that which is available could be flawed?

<span style="color: #006600">You see it depends on what is available to you so yes many things could very well be flawed. But when I say &quot;all you need to know is already made available to you&quot; I mean that it is already inside you. It was put in each and everyone of us by the Creator/Creatress. I'm not talking about looking anything up in a book, it already written inside you.

A child already knows right from wrong of many things, this is why when they do certain things they do it in the dark, or they hide when they are doing what eva they're doing. If they didn't know wrong from right, they'd do dem ting right in front a yuh ar in de miggle a street. </span>

How would one know which interpretations are true and which ones aren't?

<span style="color: #006600">Since it is in you and it is from God only you can interpret it, there is only one, not ones.</span>

Also, in another place you spoke of the Creator. If humans rely on their own efforts for spirituality, in your worldview what is the role of the Creator?

<span style="color: #006600">If we are talking of a Creator, than we are not relying on our own efforts for spirituality. We deal with spirits on a daily basis. Someone can enter a room and you feel an evil spirit or a good spirit. There is spiritual warfare in all places, and we deal with spiritual warfare everyday. The tactics of physical war are used in spiritual warfare. Knowing when to push, when to ease off, when to walk away, fight another day, accept, avoid, eat, not eat etc. The Creator is the one who makes you wise and know these things. The Creator is the guide. Christians say that Jesus told me this or God told me that. If Jesus physically died than he must be in spirit therefore an ancestor able to speak to you and sometimes through you. I only use Jesus as an example to show the concept of ancestry.</span>

Hmmmm this jumped out at me. I still haven't read everything as yet.

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? Yeah yeah it's a Christian terminology but would you interpret the Holy Spirit as what you refer to as spirits/ancestors.
</div></div>

<span style="color: #009900">I don't believe in the Holy Spirit as I or we were taught in church, but as the ancestors/spirits that came before us live in us and through us I guess we could call them holy for they only want what is best for us.</span>

<span style="color: #006600"> My fadda and I always went to the record store from mi was a yute. Nuff times wi guh twin gates downa half way tree guh buy nuff record. Den up ya suh wi in toronto once a munt gawn a record shop. My parents use fi have parties a dem yaad atleast 6-8 times a year. It was de way de jamaican community used to come together back den. Oneday dem let me spin few records (at 6 years old) and I was in love wid de craft ever since. As fi de radio, after djing parties all de while, I found myself wanting to be a radio jock. A couple houses up de road lived a guy who worked fi biggest station in town and he got me a job as an operator at the station. An operator would work all the controls and play voice of a dj who wasw not there. I then stumbled into de station I'm at now an dis is histree</span> </div></div>

This is no regulah spirituality as per seh, dis is an african centered spirituality, one where we liberate ourselves from european concepts. Through programming from when time since we lost the knowledge of how to communicate spiritually. We realize, how they used Paul in the bible as their main tool of programming. And the church is one who administers the programming of the people.

It was very hard to turn away from that which was taught to you, fed to you all your life, even when yuh get inna nex religion one is still an offshoot of de oddah one and at the root of dem all is man.

African Spirituality recognizes those that came before us, we don't forget them, we know they live in us. Nuff time wi hear smaddy seh how dat one deh act jus like smaddy granmadda ar smaddy else. Those that were transported here on slaveships did not die in vain, their will and love of the Most High are in us, the spirit is in the blood, and in the bloodline is a whole line of spirits ready, willing and able to guide through the ALL MIGHTY GOD.

But how did I reach this road, was troo nuff research and finding out bout all de lies we were told, and how even in de very bible it speaks of these stories as allegory

Then there is the council of Nicea 325AD where they created Jesus Christ.
The council of Constantinople 381 AD
The council of Ephesus 431 AD
the council of Chalcedon 451 AD

All dis and more and how paul tell yuh seh him lie an mek up feem own gospel or ghost-spell

Den mi hear bout Serapis it is from dis man dem created de image of jesus.
But I think the biggest effect on me was/is life experience. All these ppl who claim to be christian how dem gwaan inna church and how dem gwaan pan monday, how dem treat de I and I ppl. I would wonder how could these ppl be of God, and how could I love anybody who would raddah si me as dem footstool or see me vanish off de face of the earth.

Then to find out that the whole bible did teef from &quot;The book of coming forth by day and by night&quot; wrongly called the egyptian book a de dead, and to find out and learn that the bible is full of egyptian doctrine. How dem teach wi wrong bout how de egyptians were idle worshipers. Everytime a christian say a prayer dem end it by giving praised to the God Amen.

We were taught to love our enemey cause the enemy was killing us, hanging us, stealing us etc. so if they taught us that well we wouldn't feel right in taking their life for all the wrongs they've done. But God nah sleep and the whole world is a stage.

If you could be the Creator, God, for a day, based on your own observations of how things are in the world at the moment, how would you do things differently?
