Ras Stimulant joins the MasterMine podcast to share his philosophy on life and his Journey as a Rasta in Jamaica. This is one for the archives!
[00:00:00] a society to teach you to be what you are on the outside. To teach you that, you know, I'm the
[00:00:06] night here, I'm the car can I am that you know, Balenciaga, you know, what rasta fire teaches
[00:00:13] that you don't need none of that stuff to be confident. You don't need none of that stuff
[00:00:17] to exist. You don't have to be a part of that special because you are born special. So the difference
[00:00:23] between rasta fire and society is that society teaches you about what is on the outside of you
[00:00:30] and rasta fire brings you on the inside. Manu that itself because if you don't know what is in
[00:00:36] you, you can't know where to go. So rasta fire is really about discovering the treasures within
[00:00:53] just want to see you struggle. I swear they don't want to see you sad. They don't. They don't.
[00:01:04] Welcome to MasterMine, the home of black excellence and self-mustery.
[00:01:10] Yes, your host, Mastiki. Welcome to the program. Thank you for joining us today on the journey towards
[00:01:15] self-mastery. Our next guest, Hales from Jamaica. He's an artist, an entrepreneur and a rasta fire.
[00:01:22] He's author of the activation of the better self. He aims to spread positive vibes through his voice
[00:01:28] and his sounds with the rest of the world. Let's welcome today. Mr. Ross Stemulant.
[00:01:35] Ross, how you doing today, man? Come on, I'm doing grit, but I'm doing grit. I'm doing grit.
[00:01:40] Man, thank you for having me. You know, Pleasantongstow, I want to see this video.
[00:01:46] The Pleasant's mind, man. The Pleasant's all mine. I was really inspired. I was really inspired
[00:01:51] listening to you, you know, through YouTube. We wanted to kind of bring a raster foreign on the
[00:01:56] program to kind of spread those vibes and the philosophy. And I think, you know, rasters have
[00:02:00] really interesting, you know, philosophy and understanding of the world that a lot of people don't
[00:02:06] look into men. So I kind of wanted to get an opportunity to talk with somebody who was really deep
[00:02:12] into the culture. So I find out about you too. I never knew TV. So shout out to I never knew TV.
[00:02:17] Yeah, I'm done. So do you not never know TV? Great people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. So I'm like,
[00:02:23] I gotta get Ross on, man. So connected with you and everything. And here we are, man. So
[00:02:29] you are a bit of mystery, man. I'm like, I was trying to look, you know, and see some of the
[00:02:33] things that I could find about you, but it's just, you know, the music and then some of the things
[00:02:37] that you've mentioned from I never knew TV. And I'm like, I really wonder about this dude, man.
[00:02:42] Like what is life was like as a you, you know, I'm saying, like growing up and everything.
[00:02:46] So if you can start start off by sharing with us, man, like just what some of your experiences
[00:02:52] in Jamaica growing up were and growing up in Jamaica. It makes you smart. It makes you strong
[00:03:00] and it makes you resilient. Life in Jamaica is a child, you know, there's also very,
[00:03:06] there's a lot of hardship in Jamaica. That's the first thing I'm not gonna tell that, you know,
[00:03:10] it's paradise. Yeah, the place is paradise because we've got the beach, we've got the spring water,
[00:03:15] we've got the birds, the rivers, the trees. Yeah, that is paradise. That's the lung, that's the place.
[00:03:21] But in terms of living, it's you know, it's a hardship for most of the people. A lot of the people
[00:03:26] are, you know, some of the people are in poverty, some just coming out of poverty and then we have
[00:03:31] some baby boomers. As a child growing up in Jamaica, it was a bit adventurous for me. I didn't really
[00:03:38] grow my appearance. I grew mainly like with my grandmother and woman, you know, from stranger to
[00:03:44] stranger, which would be family friends, you know. That's what I basically grew up having a
[00:03:50] mindset of my own. I didn't have my father. I spent some time with my father. I spent some time
[00:03:55] with my mother but they didn't spend enough time with me to inductionate me the way they have been
[00:04:00] inductionated through institution and systematic programming. So I basically grew up with a free
[00:04:08] with the ability to think about things that most child wouldn't get a chance to think about. I
[00:04:13] grew up, it wasn't about having ties or having clothes on shoes, you know, that was far from my
[00:04:20] imagination. I was more like wondering about the stars and the plants and animals and the rivers
[00:04:26] and the land and you know, having a lot of dreams, you know. And I'm still a dream, you know, I'm
[00:04:32] still high on life, you know. Growing up in Jamaica, it was an adventure for me.
[00:04:37] Yeah, true. For those that are not really familiar with Jamaica, what is the environment from
[00:04:42] like I guess growing up to where we are now with Jamaica? It's super predominantly. I don't like
[00:04:48] to use the word black because there's no such people as black, you know, we have nobians, we have
[00:04:53] kusha, it's people from the continent but it's you know, I'm going to use the word to so people can
[00:04:58] know what I'm talking about. It's predominantly black, a patch of white, you have a patch of
[00:05:04] Chinese, you have a patch of Indians because that's what we describe them. We don't say carcades,
[00:05:09] we say the white one, we say Chinese and we say Indians. Yeah, but it's predominantly people from
[00:05:15] Africa. In Jamaica, I see it is a systematic green wash and it's a systematic struggle for the
[00:05:22] people. You know, the people of color as they call them, black people, I see like them have them
[00:05:30] as the less or the lesser among the rest of the people. So growing up in that situation like
[00:05:37] that you know that things don't come easy. You know, sometimes your mom don't have the food
[00:05:42] to prepare proper meals so you can be properly nourished, you know. That grew up on eating mangoes,
[00:05:48] almonds, I grew up basically eating fruits because I was always old in New Orleans. I was out there
[00:05:55] seeking a bench that don't buy the river learning or to swim even though I grew up with friends,
[00:06:00] I didn't know how to have friends because I was always moving. I was always moving from one
[00:06:06] pint to the other pint so I didn't really get that chance to connect with certain people.
[00:06:13] You know, I was always on that mission moving from one pint to the other pint so I didn't get
[00:06:17] that chance to connect to say that well I grew up with these guys, I grew up with them.
[00:06:22] Like grew up with them, I'd be my friend with the universe, the stars, the moon,
[00:06:26] the sun being my friend. Fruit tree and the water by the river, you know.
[00:06:31] I got you so did you develop kind of your own philosophy before you got into
[00:06:36] rastafarianism or was that both interconnected?
[00:06:40] When I was at youth, I was mostly familiar with Rasta because in Rasta in Jamaica
[00:06:46] it was a positive vibe for younger people. For the younger people, they would call them
[00:06:52] other lessons or the juvenile. A lot of them gravitate towards Rasta because Rasta don't have that
[00:06:58] negative vibe. Rasta more take it in or Rasta more quicker to teach you something.
[00:07:05] So by being around one and two I wouldn't say a lot. I wouldn't say they have influence
[00:07:10] but because it's just an inbound concept. Rasta 4R comes from with no one can
[00:07:16] influence you to be Rasta. It's looking in the world, it's like I said okay,
[00:07:21] I'm at this point. What character could I use to go through this point? You know, you got violence
[00:07:27] over there, you got negative over there, you got that over there so yeah say okay. What character do
[00:07:33] I need to choose to get through this? So by being away from the systematic programming and
[00:07:41] I didn't go to school until I was like 10. So I grew up, I was born in a host, I didn't
[00:07:47] burn in a hospital so I didn't get that vaccine so he caused me to move different and think
[00:07:53] different. My mom said I was a wild child you know. Yeah, you know, I didn't grow up the way
[00:07:59] that everyone grew up and that is just to say that the universe had a plan from it from that young
[00:08:06] age. I was always old-spoken, I was always someone to be seen but I'm doing the right
[00:08:13] daughter R. So yeah, Rasa at 10 years old you won't go to school for the first time man like what
[00:08:19] was that experience like and how were you treated in school? All right, what did this wear?
[00:08:24] So I got charged with going to America at that young age at that age of 10. Being in America,
[00:08:32] I didn't know how to read. I was fully illiterate as it relates to institution. In nature,
[00:08:40] I was fully adequately educated because I would even say it's education you get knowledge from
[00:08:48] nation, you get education from school. Studeration is what you do in nature. Studeration is better than
[00:08:57] education. Education is a bunch of information that's in an institution. Studeration is looking at
[00:09:05] the Mongolian saying okay I planted this tree, let me watch it and I see going through the four seasons
[00:09:11] then I say okay every summer it's gonna be here and it's a fact every summer it be here that's
[00:09:17] studeration so you get real knowledge from studeration. Education is like a hypothesis of ideas,
[00:09:26] a well- suggested idea or something like. So not knowing what the real going to school it was
[00:09:33] interesting. There's this teacher, there's this teacher by the name of Miss Wool. She came from
[00:09:39] Russia and there's Russian lady and she was always like I see something special in you. I said
[00:09:45] like maybe she's actually me and I like I see something special in you. And she said you know
[00:09:52] because being a class who's not always standing what is on the paper, not knowing what to do
[00:09:58] she's like okay I see something special in you even though I was I didn't know it was on the paper
[00:10:03] she was like you come to me after class I'm gonna show you what's up so every day after class I go
[00:10:09] to Miss Woolf. I miss Woolf eventually taught me how to read when I learned how to read the classes
[00:10:15] that I was in I was like I went through those classes like I don't fast. The way she taught me
[00:10:21] that I was able to advance quicker than the rest of the students yeah that's what I'd say so
[00:10:29] you know after that it maybe took me like six months to learn how to read and write and after that
[00:10:36] it was like a ball rolling you know I was like soaking up a lot of information. Yeah I had a
[00:10:41] God it so did you stay in the United States for a while after that or when did you like how did
[00:10:46] they transition from heading back to Jamaica? Well as you know America is the home of the free you feel
[00:10:52] like it can do what you want you know most of my family lived there but you know my mom
[00:10:58] I'm a dad because my mom was in Jamaica my father was in America so they stopped you know the
[00:11:05] relationship was over so I'm like yeah I want to go to my mom you know is that okay you're giving
[00:11:11] trouble anyways. That's always when you know and from then I never attempt you know I never I never
[00:11:19] I just leave it here you know how old were you and then what kind of trouble was your dad talking about
[00:11:25] I was 16 man there was no big trouble man I was just your small trouble you know it's all
[00:11:30] 16 yeah and then the education that I got in that short space of time it took me from then to
[00:11:39] know as I've never been to any other institution as a child to get an informal education.
[00:11:45] As fascinating. I think I've been educated myself because I had the means I want to do it
[00:11:51] and I was taught to teach myself so miss wool respect the miss wool that Russian lady got you
[00:11:58] so I walk us through once you get to Jamaica man what's the what was going on at that point.
[00:12:04] In Jamaica coming back to Jamaica it was a bit different you know because you know being in the
[00:12:09] states give you a different perception of life than being in Jamaica which they classify as a
[00:12:15] third world country and as I said while I was growing up things were kind of harsh you know
[00:12:20] from in back at 16 coming from America to Jamaica to make a lot of adjustments.
[00:12:24] Nevertheless I you know I resumed where I left off went back to nature you know I didn't as I said
[00:12:31] my mom you know for some reason I had a mind on my own I rented my first room when I was like
[00:12:38] 16 plus got a job with a lady from Canada they came and they opened a store named C Eagle Poo
[00:12:45] Tadon in Centre and from there you know I got an idea of what society was about so you know
[00:12:52] that's the world let me go try to help myself and from there myself you know
[00:12:58] got it so try to do this you know try many things you know starting a lot of stuff
[00:13:05] stuff a lot of stuff you know I wanted to I realized some all of this you know you can really be
[00:13:12] who you want to be if you have that state of mind but growing up in our place where they did
[00:13:17] no shunt are not as is like there's a difference between Jamaica and America in Jamaica you know
[00:13:23] what that fits in America you think that everything is okay it gives you a false sense of being
[00:13:30] you know it gives you a different T-go than you know it gives you it's like when you watch
[00:13:35] the TV and see the rappers you think that they're really billionaires but when you go and see them
[00:13:40] you they're not so rich and it's the same thing with Jamaica and America when you look at America
[00:13:45] it's like oh everything is okay everything is fine but it's not really that way but then Jamaica
[00:13:50] when you're looking like okay things are not fine you know you got to pretend that's those
[00:13:56] things you make by the America so I define my way to find a way to 15 cut my groove and how is that
[00:14:04] so at what point did you fully become Rasa was it an experience that you had or anything
[00:14:10] we did that same time in that same time you know because I felt so free you know I didn't even know
[00:14:17] when it happened I just found myself like yeah you know it's as I said I grew up feeling free
[00:14:27] and as you mature like a cocoon to come in about the fly you know you just feel free so you know
[00:14:34] did the medium of being totally free is rasta far right so you know you're a free person when
[00:14:41] you're when you're rasta far right because you're not you're not you're not limited by thoughts
[00:14:45] you're not limited by the things are on you're not intimidated by this this this institution and
[00:14:51] this you know system of colonialism because that's what it's really is you know got you so walk us
[00:14:59] to Rasa far and is the my you know I've heard from people that it's a religion I've heard
[00:15:04] is the philosophy I've heard spirituality like in your view it's that I really can't it's the
[00:15:10] highest point of oneself as it relates to total expression of an original person in the the
[00:15:18] site of the universe and the present of life and nature it is a total expression of self you know
[00:15:25] from within to we told a society teach you to be what you are on the outside they teach you that
[00:15:32] you know I'm the night here I'm the clock can I I'm that you know Valencia you know what rasta far
[00:15:40] I teach you that you don't need none of that stuff to be confident you don't need none of that
[00:15:44] stuff to exist you don't have to be a part of that special because you are born special so the
[00:15:50] difference between rasta far I and society is that society teaches you about what is on the
[00:15:57] outside of you and rasta far I brings you on the inside man know that yourself because if you
[00:16:03] don't know what is in you you can't know where to go so rasta far is really about discovering
[00:16:09] the treasures within itself yeah so what about the connection with um hallie salasi the connection with
[00:16:16] islas you know islas is when most people hear the word islas they're thinking about emperor from
[00:16:24] Ethiopia but islas is the power of all things coming together they said the Trinity is the
[00:16:31] power of the Trinity most people love their definition of what they think the Trinity is but in my eyes
[00:16:38] you know it's it's man knowing himself being where he is connected into the ayah boy like I'm standing
[00:16:47] on the ground I'm getting my knowledge in the environment and then I'm connected to something greater
[00:16:52] than I which is a universe the universe man under earth that's what I see as a Trinity because
[00:16:58] you need yourself you need the earth and then when you connect to the earth earth connect to the
[00:17:04] universe so that's what I see at the Trinity so ily salasi to me is not really the person who is the
[00:17:10] emperor it's knowing that there's a connection between you and that earth under universe
[00:17:18] that's such a problem not diamond that's you so walk us through um you know the locks like a lot of
[00:17:23] the rasses they um they grow their hair and they you don't cut it um what's the idea behind that
[00:17:29] well to tell the truth you know as i said to be total in who you are you'd have to be able to accept
[00:17:36] yourself as is and man redo the influence of society this is all you're gonna look without this
[00:17:42] is all so calm this is all everyone would look if they if they weren't beautified by society so the
[00:17:48] locks is really even if you don't have locks in it up here it's the antenna that receives the frequency
[00:17:56] from a higher place the here know the here is different with the comb and the brush without the
[00:18:03] comb on the brush it has that natural that natural curl that swirls that's able to trap certain
[00:18:11] electrons and neutrons hmm here is straight you can't trap anything so apart of our being
[00:18:19] and all we receive that has something to do with our emotions and our hair collecting electrons
[00:18:27] and neutrons because after all we are an electric being our electric cars really is nothing new
[00:18:33] you know because we are totally electric i got you okay so our last step is to pick up a higher
[00:18:41] frequency hmm that's why we don't brush it and we don't comb it the people that comb and brush
[00:18:48] their frequency is lower than the people that don't comb and brush so even if a person is not
[00:18:55] saying that's the fire I am they have locks they're able to pick up a higher frequency
[00:19:00] than those that brush and comb and those that cut hmm because the people who beautify themselves
[00:19:09] by cutting and shaving they haven't really seen themselves yet if they knew what they were doing
[00:19:15] they wouldn't do it because they're really breaking their connection to them great ourselves yeah so
[00:19:20] that is what is represented the locks represent the connection between man and the universe
[00:19:25] and your feet represent the connection between man that is why it's on our head because it connects
[00:19:30] to up there and that's why our feet are down here because it connects to the earth the the
[00:19:35] feet connect to all creator because man couldn't be all creator man is not the creator of earth
[00:19:41] earth is the creator of man that is why we stand on it if man had created the earth we'd be holding
[00:19:48] it all the reason why we stand on it is because it's our everything the earth is all everything
[00:19:55] the earth is all God religion is the destruction of man thinking that man could have created the
[00:20:01] ground man couldn't create that so when we connect to the ground with our foot and then connect to
[00:20:07] the universe with our locks right now align and that's what rasta fire really is being one with
[00:20:14] everything thank you for that absolutely one with the universe and one with the earth no as I was saying
[00:20:20] the growing creator those and the universe created the ground mother father child where the child
[00:20:26] earth is our mother and the universe is our father man that's deep man that's deep thank you for
[00:20:32] that explanation by the way that that was probably the best I've heard with the the locks what about
[00:20:38] no meat no alcohol why well no meat no alcohol it's because as I said we are an elitian being and we
[00:20:47] as millenated people are alkaline people and meat is not alkaline and liquor is that alkaline that's
[00:20:55] why it's not good for us because we're an alkaline being and we need alkaline food the meat
[00:21:02] is a piezoid or structure and the alcohol is really a piezoid or structure we might drink
[00:21:08] some wine and say okay we are we're not going so hard it's not good for us because it's not alkaline
[00:21:14] we're millenated people we're alkaline people we have to eat the food that develop
[00:21:18] help us to develop a higher electrical charge yeah man um so we we don't you know just as
[00:21:25] all we live the animal would like to live that's deep man that's deep that's deep
[00:21:30] as russ says about promoting life all the things that promote life because if you're in line
[00:21:37] with the earth and the universe you know that the earth gave us life and the universe gave
[00:21:42] the earth life so we are here to take care of life we're not here to destroy life because life
[00:21:49] didn't come from us thank you for that man another powerful explanation so people might say like
[00:21:56] all right russ yeah you're talking about the food the locks and um no liquor so how do you explain
[00:22:03] the marijuana how do you explain that isn't that a poison all farmers smoking is bad for the human
[00:22:08] structure but if you were to put a little piece of the herb in your mouth you'd get a stronger
[00:22:14] effect and if you smoke it and then it becomes a vegetable all farmers smoking is bad for the
[00:22:20] lungs so as a russ you don't smoke um to tell the truth I use it from time to time you know I was
[00:22:27] like a big smoker with my chaloon pipe or my chalice you know but as I became more aware
[00:22:33] of what I was saying and doing I realized that there's no way you can promote the healthy lifestyle
[00:22:39] by smoking smoking is like a recreation you know it's something that you do it's not a part of rasta far
[00:22:46] right smoking marijuana is not a part of rasta far right it's just something that most russas do for
[00:22:52] a recreation I think that's fascinating because a lot of people connect you know the use of marijuana
[00:22:58] with the inarassa you know because most rasta like to hold certain vibe and herb caricatured
[00:23:07] the vibe that the rassamon like to hold because in reality you know we're not supposed to be
[00:23:14] totally attached to things that we weren't born with you know there's nothing all side of you
[00:23:19] that should be let me say no you shouldn't be addicted to anything outside of you
[00:23:23] I should okay you shouldn't be addicted to nothing you know all you need your bio-neutrality
[00:23:29] so as a rassa as rassafarian are you a part of the society or you separate from the society they are
[00:23:37] rasses that live in the woods and there are some that are a part of you know the environment
[00:23:44] the current society and there are some that they don't use electricity they don't do any of that
[00:23:49] where you feel in this transition of time we live in a systematic way as a systematic that means
[00:23:57] that everything that is he was planned everything that is he the people do it was planned for them to
[00:24:02] do that being a rassa man living in this system we I wouldn't say we we we we're not a part
[00:24:09] of the colonial system because every society is set by colonialism but we want to get upset about
[00:24:15] it that we want to acknowledge the truth it was set by a group of people who want control the
[00:24:22] masses we operate within the spaces we are not of the philosophy that the system promotes
[00:24:30] we are in society but we're not of society we weren't created by society as the rest of the
[00:24:36] people you know because the people that are created by society are a different mindset than the
[00:24:42] people that are gravitated to nature and I'm more all the stick on my living understood understood
[00:24:48] all right so for like just being a rassa like can anybody be a rassa is it a specific race color
[00:24:58] pre like what we're looking at being a rassa can somebody be listening in and just like yeah I want
[00:25:03] to be a rassa and just do it on their own and become a rassa are there requirements is it do you
[00:25:07] have to be a specific race a specific creed a specific um in terms of race there is only one
[00:25:15] race of people and that is the human race there's no other race of people on earth it's one race
[00:25:21] of people and it's the human race to think that we are different is an illusion created by those
[00:25:28] who wish to separate us to control us can anyone be rasta as I said if no one uses a poem a race
[00:25:36] our brush we would all look the same and if there was no food place processing food we would all be
[00:25:42] eating the same food and if there was no more shower we would all go to the river and if we were
[00:25:49] all living by the ocean we would all go through the ocean so it's not for anyone special because
[00:25:55] we're all special um got you so you got me thinking a little bit I don't want to be too personal but
[00:26:00] do you live in a house or do you uh as I say no I operate in the same space as everyone else you know
[00:26:09] where we know you can you can you can you can who what would I say this my time of living in the bush
[00:26:15] I spent a lot of time living in the bush living in a little you know self-made and I had to learn
[00:26:21] how to build a shelter for myself because being in nature after learning how to protect self
[00:26:26] after learning how to host self after learning how to be self yes I already learned that from nature
[00:26:33] but to to progress to make a forward movement there are things in society that can be utilized
[00:26:41] by a rasta man so we try to use the things that are usable and use the spaces that are usable
[00:26:49] to advance or we have living or to make an advancement to that which we desire
[00:26:55] got it all right so I wanted to go into uh you know the uh concept of uh nature as well
[00:27:05] with being you know a rassa um so how is nature viewed you know in regards to you and the
[00:27:13] connect your connection to it well nature is like that word that this is god because I don't know
[00:27:20] of man being a god you know nature is god because nature feeds you
[00:27:28] the closer and the shelter you so to I nature is god got you nature everything there's nothing
[00:27:36] you can do without nature yes the grown move from under your foot you will cease to exist as
[00:27:41] I said before nature is over everything there's nothing we can do without nature because the oxygen is
[00:27:48] nature the ground is nature the food that we consume is nature the water is nature and all the
[00:27:55] things that we use it represent nature it might be processed you know you might use a marker which
[00:28:03] is a highlighter and it looks like plastic but we really check our stock the plastic comes from
[00:28:09] nature but everything we do is nature there's nothing we can do without nature is that a
[00:28:14] zoom thing with the policy yeah it's nothing we can't do without nature and the greater you know when
[00:28:21] man knows that self when you become aware of who you are then you realize that you have to be
[00:28:29] closer to nature so you know I've heard a lot of like you know you got to know yourself know
[00:28:35] yourself but a lot of people don't know where to start you know in regards to knowledge of self
[00:28:39] and learning about yourself so in your viewpoint where do you start well the best ways to start
[00:28:45] is to the mind yeah think about yourself and that's what most people are not doing most people
[00:28:50] thinking about their situation they're thinking about the Louis Vuitton they're thinking about the
[00:28:55] Calvin Klein people use things to represent themselves in this time they don't use self to represent
[00:29:03] and that's the difference between Rasta and the common people are the common person you know
[00:29:09] Rasta use what is inside to represent self and the people in society use what they
[00:29:15] possess to represent so they use their status to represent who they are so the best place to start
[00:29:20] just in the mind yeah think about yourself thank you for that I was listening to your audiobook and
[00:29:28] those of statement you made in audiobook that made me a little interested to hear some
[00:29:33] some further details so you mentioned that we are greater than God so I kind of wanted to know
[00:29:38] what you meant by that God the concept of God that they're having the Bible we're greater than that
[00:29:43] we're far you know our imagination or my mind is greater than that because it's a blasphemy
[00:29:49] to think that a man can be God how can a man create all of what you see you know just to create
[00:29:55] a tree you know or what to take a man think about how to create a tree they can't do no and even if
[00:30:02] they started from the beginning of time they still wouldn't be able to create it so why would man want
[00:30:07] to take the credit we barn come see everything who could be God for something that we barn from seed
[00:30:13] would be a pirate yeah like they say limit right land and us we didn't learn how to limit it
[00:30:20] don't feel what sound I'm saying we barn and see the earth all can man be the God of the earth we're
[00:30:26] grateful on that on God is just a title God is not the name of a prestigious attack to let that
[00:30:32] like being a ton or being a president you know we possess great powers on that because God didn't
[00:30:38] make man man made God but God is your G.O.D. man made those words that is fascinating man a lot to
[00:30:47] think about today all right so part of what you're preaching is pretty much self mastery man diving into
[00:30:55] deeper knowledge itself you say the more you dig into yourself the more you know of yourself
[00:30:59] so what is that process of self mastery look like to you so where one is really digging and learning
[00:31:07] and developing their self identity and self consciousness and you mentioned without the
[00:31:12] without the influence of the outside world which I think is pretty very very difficult especially in
[00:31:17] these parts in the United States man so how do you do that man and what is digging into the deeper
[00:31:21] self look like all right look at this if you try to identify yourself based on the people around
[00:31:29] you're gonna be who they want you to be but if you try to make an identification of self based
[00:31:37] on what is on inside then you'll be a true self a person telling who you are and you've seen
[00:31:46] yourself or what you are and who you are it's two different person because there are some
[00:31:52] things that you won't tell people and the person is gonna judge it till we are they don't know
[00:31:57] that side of you so you've never been make a judgment it's a shot of something but when you make
[00:32:03] a calculation of yourself as man can judge himself man can only make a calculation of himself
[00:32:09] when you make a calculation of yourself being honest and being true to self you paint the right
[00:32:14] picture but to identify self among friends or family you'd never find who you are because they
[00:32:20] don't know who they are so self mastery begins and what does it look like self mastery is spending time
[00:32:28] because the more time is spent with yourself is the more self gains self is like the goal
[00:32:34] so the more time is spent with self it's like mining cryptocurrency the more time is spend
[00:32:39] doing it is the more you earn the more time you spend with service the more of self you earn self
[00:32:45] is like money to self it's like the goal of self you like your mind and the better part of you
[00:32:51] your mining you know that's what I say that self mastery begins with you spending time with
[00:32:58] you to find out the things that you can do to find out the things that you can't do to find out
[00:33:07] basically what makes you tick to be an upcrowed it's hard to identify yourself in a crowed
[00:33:15] because you can't see yourself in a crowed you're gonna be too busy looking around but if you're by
[00:33:19] yourself you'll get a better picture because there's nothing on the outside to look up so you
[00:33:24] start to look within that's it for self mastery begins within self I think obviously like we mentioned
[00:33:33] you know Jamaica might be a little easier to be a little secluded and to be by yourself and to
[00:33:38] spend time developing yourself on your own and not have as much outside influence but in the
[00:33:45] States it's really difficult for people to be to not have outside influence so for those that
[00:33:49] struggle with that like what advice would you give somebody that's struggling with just finding
[00:33:54] time for themselves and limiting some of the influences from the outside whether from peers
[00:33:59] coworkers whatever that it may be here's what you have to do the first thing you have to do is after
[00:34:04] repart your part your part your thinking you can be in hell and still being Zion because what is
[00:34:12] on the whole side of you don't define you it's what you're thinking on the inside yeah so
[00:34:17] it doesn't matter where you are your environment shouldn't determine who you become unless it's
[00:34:23] knowing I need to put a main card you know your environment has nothing no control over what's
[00:34:30] inside controls what's on the outside mm-hmm sounds gonna add the idea of a car came from the inside
[00:34:38] the idea where the shoes came on came from inside and if you check what's inside of you
[00:34:44] based on what you've learned from society you want to throw them away mm-hmm so how do I remain
[00:34:52] pretty much myself without the influence of other people I think that's really difficult because
[00:34:58] you might be listening to a lecture and think about like wow those ideas were really interesting
[00:35:02] I might want to adapt that or you might be watching the movie and say like wow that that seems
[00:35:07] interesting I want to try it or you might be a part of a club in organization and that might
[00:35:12] influence your thinking what you're saying you should remain with your thinking so how do you
[00:35:16] remain with your thinking without the influence of others around you well and as I said if you have
[00:35:24] a glass eliminate you put that ice in the lemonade the ice in the ventrically melt and merge
[00:35:31] it wouldn't be able to identify the ice in the cup but if you were to put that dice you know
[00:35:37] people roll dice if you were to put that dice in the cup even though the dice is not edible if
[00:35:42] you were to put a dice in the cup no matter what happened you'd still be able to identify the
[00:35:48] dice in the cup because the dice has an identity and that's what we must become we must become
[00:35:54] who we are like our fingerprint the mod there's eight million people in the early
[00:35:59] the known as the same fingerprint and that means that our personality or attitude
[00:36:04] or everything about us has to be like the fingerprint got to be unique and when you're unique
[00:36:11] it's easy to identify hmm that's your got you so within all that within everything around
[00:36:18] the world in your view how does one find happiness you think happiness is something that is
[00:36:23] a temporary thing can it be permanent what's your thoughts on it
[00:36:27] happiness should be something that is permanent it can be and it is when you know who you are
[00:36:35] and you know your capabilities it makes you happen naturally sadness comes with a doubt confidence
[00:36:42] comes with happiness as if your happy makes you more confident if you have a doubt
[00:36:48] you're not so confident so happiness is not something that you choose happiness is something
[00:36:55] that you create by knowing so because if you're driving a car and you know all the car performs it
[00:37:03] makes them more confident and confidence builds happiness you can't find happiness outside of
[00:37:09] so you know unless it's material happiness financial happiness relationship happiness happiness
[00:37:16] when you know who you are and accept who you are naturally you get a permanent happiness
[00:37:23] so no matter what happened in the world you reflect on who you are and then happen this is there
[00:37:28] so you hold on to some people treat them by then you have a job is treating them but
[00:37:33] you know you reflect on yourself and like well that's just a job at least have me
[00:37:38] you have I you know you don't have the job but you have yourself and that by having so
[00:37:43] serve is the greatest asset you can possess people want host keep one car people are
[00:37:49] choose keep one close people want everything but they don't want them so by accepting
[00:37:56] new you are and having yourself taking back yourself from society and giving yourself identity
[00:38:03] you know it makes you happy you know well said well said all right we can't have a full
[00:38:10] of philosophical conversation whereas without the question of what is the meaning of life so
[00:38:16] what if you concluded that the meaning of life is the meaning of life is to create a part that
[00:38:24] life can continue so our duty as humans is to do the things to make life more feasible
[00:38:36] because life is something that is continuous so our duty is to prepare the path for life
[00:38:46] we are there we are there for the one in college now we were here to make preparations for life
[00:38:52] that is the meaning of life because we can't create life so we're here we were like to take us
[00:38:59] you know we were the vanguard of life you know we're here to protect the path that life has to
[00:39:05] trouble that is all meaning there's no meaning greater than that given yourself to the to the
[00:39:15] as we remember you know we made it life for granted you know and whole humans live they live a
[00:39:23] lifestyle of killing life that's why you have murder that's why you have suicide that's why they kill
[00:39:30] the animals and the christmas in the tanks giving so many so many animals died you know in the
[00:39:37] christmas in the holidays so many animals died I mean animals life of meaning who is not just us
[00:39:43] every life farm has the same value you know and we are here to protect the path that life has to
[00:39:49] trouble well said man well said I want to segue just a little bit before we wrap up there's a few
[00:39:55] things that's happening that I heard you coming on I did see that you posted one a doctor umas videos
[00:40:01] about what was happening in Jamaica with and everything and establishing businesses and things
[00:40:06] like that so as somebody who is native of the land what is your your take on that but it might take
[00:40:11] on it you know is as you know Jamaica is a colony of the commonwealth and it seems as if
[00:40:18] behind the table behind the under the table behind the door you know the Chinese people are becoming
[00:40:26] the new slave masters of this world because the people who are family running the world they're stepping
[00:40:32] back because you know so a lot of them are getting old and the idea of all their running the world
[00:40:40] is worn out so they need a new way to control so they have implied someone new which are the
[00:40:48] Chinese says not only in Jamaica it's a worldwide effect if you were to check the US the United
[00:40:55] States of America they're in the China as well and there are certain parts of society that they're
[00:41:02] coming that they cannot be questioned and these actions were made and these deals were set to be
[00:41:08] behind the people and beyond the people what is happening it's an almost bigger scale than the
[00:41:15] common person the common person is just a slave so the Chinese is just another pupil or another
[00:41:24] worker that have been selected to do this job because they're coming to do the same thing
[00:41:30] that they they're far more colonial masters are done you know and they're doing it maybe at a cheaper
[00:41:37] cost because they're Chinese you know and don't get me wrong I don't have anything against Chinese
[00:41:45] I don't have nothing against any nation of people because we have different nations but one race
[00:41:51] some nations you know they defend what is meaningful to them and to the people of our continent
[00:42:00] I would say that they're used as like a plate cloth not even the plate we are the plate cloth
[00:42:09] so if you drag the plate cloth off the table everything goes to the ground where the table
[00:42:14] at the plate cloth you can use the table without the plate cloth you know everything spills on the
[00:42:20] plate cloth you throw it around there put it around there while the dishes go in a precious place
[00:42:25] put your constant table without the plate cloth so I see the world using the people of color
[00:42:31] millilite it people as a plate cloth but at the same time it's the most important part of the
[00:42:37] setting yeah so the Chinese coming in is just another worker getting a job in high places well in
[00:42:44] low places but in society they say no places and now they're giving colonialism a new face
[00:42:52] got you since the since the queen of england passed a lot of talks have been I've been
[00:42:57] I've been about the the history and the connection between england and jameka and I've heard a lot
[00:43:04] of talks about reparations and things like that that are being had about you know jameka right now
[00:43:10] so what are your thoughts on the whole idea and concept of reparations for jameka well my thought
[00:43:18] my thoughts is that I've never been a slave because the history of raster fire and it's
[00:43:23] your been never been conquered never been colonized so I don't speak on the perspective of being
[00:43:29] a slave so I'm not really looking in a reparation but for the people who think that they've been a
[00:43:34] slave I would say that's it's an illusion to be pursued but never attained because if I take
[00:43:42] everything from you and make a week so I can have control over you why would I give you back
[00:43:47] everything I make it strong so you can have control over me if there is any reparation it would be
[00:43:54] for all the colored people to leave America and go to Africa or all the people to leave jameka
[00:43:59] and go to Africa I think you know on that scale because they want the land and they want resources
[00:44:05] on the land so they would give the people some yeah yeah money to say okay go ahead and leave
[00:44:10] and leave a lot of people around you I don't see reparation being something that is in American
[00:44:16] constitution it says that there will be no reparation paid for any group of people so it's not even
[00:44:23] jameka it's a word everything you see is connected right around the world it's one string it just
[00:44:29] look different in different places yeah but it's the same to going on all over and it's one set of
[00:44:36] people facing the bird I got it all right for wrap up I wanted to get a quick little activity in
[00:44:43] real quick call was your favorite identifying fuel your favorite things what is your favorite
[00:44:47] thing the growth man I know you grow a lot of your own food my favorite thing to grow is myself
[00:44:52] by my mind I love it I love it favorite thing about making music I know you are a musician as well
[00:45:00] making music you know is always you know is just totally submerged in in being
[00:45:08] nothing unbeknown where to see what comes up you know that's my favorite thing in
[00:45:13] you know not trying to have an idea favorite thing about jameka by a favorite thing about jameka
[00:45:20] well jameka is over owned by the queen with that concept behind it I would say my favorite thing
[00:45:27] about this land that I'm on is the beauty of it the essence of it you know because I think the
[00:45:33] land speak to us and if we only humble ourselves we hear what the land is saying and the land
[00:45:41] of jameka there's there's a lot there's a lot to be felt because the greatest part of life you
[00:45:47] can't hear it you have to feel it because all we get out of life is a great feeling and being on
[00:45:53] this land gives you a great feeling well said well said so looking at you know you like to see
[00:46:01] man what you are trying to leave behind in this world man what what is the legacy that you want
[00:46:06] people to know about you the work that you're doing and what you stand for man you know truly
[00:46:14] a lot of our people before us all there never left a record of themselves and I'm thinking that you know
[00:46:23] maybe there's gonna be someone like I maybe a thousand years from now 15 hundred years from now
[00:46:28] maybe think the same thing because in some aspect we're like the same people coming and coming
[00:46:35] and coming again so maybe if I make a record of myself and I come again in a thousand years I'll
[00:46:40] be able to catch up where I left off yeah I'm after we viewed that a few times man that is
[00:46:46] powerful man that is powerful and I I wholeheartedly agree with you man I think that a lot of us
[00:46:52] come in come and leave the world like almost as if like we never existed you know with nothing at all
[00:46:59] to say about who we were and what we did you know because they say the great world
[00:47:04] is to make a trust fund and leave something in it for your grandchild and your great grand
[00:47:10] the world that I am on pursuing is the world of self and the world of overstanding you know
[00:47:18] and a thousand years in the side of man is nothing you know that's like this this like tomorrow
[00:47:26] in the right way of thinking so if we're gonna create knowledge you know we have to make a record
[00:47:32] because if you don't make a record you won't know where you started or where you've begun so
[00:47:39] I do this as that means of creating a record of that which imposed me that which governs me because
[00:47:49] I'm just avatar the words aren't mine the inspiration is not mine I'm just channel I'm just a channel
[00:47:57] to which it comes you know yes all of what that's it is there is not mine it's just a channel and
[00:48:05] it is basically it's the universe the grown which is we call mother earth and this avatar express in
[00:48:14] it's not rustimilan rustimilan is only the ego that I give myself yeah got it got it got it man it was
[00:48:22] absolute pleasure having a conversation with you man definitely one I got a review listeners
[00:48:28] definitely should review as well just to think about a lot of the deep things that you were talking
[00:48:32] about today before we dip out can you leave us with your favorite quote and what it means to you
[00:48:38] if we don't realize what is happening around us as it relates to the limitations of self expression
[00:48:47] and the limitation of freedom of speech we will be far of a trapped and be a prisoner of ourselves
[00:48:56] meaning that there are forces working globally to depress and isolate the thoughts of self because
[00:49:08] when one knows self no one can have control over you so I'd say to be rebellious in the way
[00:49:18] it think not to go and pick the couple weapon not to be an enemy to your neighbor but to be
[00:49:26] rebellious in the way it thinks and not to be so gullible has to accept what the institution
[00:49:34] is setting to you as a program to condition your mind and the way you think powerful man
[00:49:40] powerful I know people definitely want to know where they can find you a race and where they
[00:49:45] can find more of real work whatever it is that you're doing man so can you share with us
[00:49:49] what people can find you well they can find me in myself that is the first piece they can find me
[00:49:55] you know that's where I am in myself but where they can find me physically is I don't even know
[00:50:03] where they can find me because I'm always moving you know but you can you can you know I'm not so much
[00:50:09] of a superstar in the internet I only do it because people say you know sometimes we try to reach
[00:50:15] over to you and there's no link and we like to talk to you and talk to your question you know so
[00:50:21] start to do the Instagram lately you know I have a YouTube channel what I don't really and I'm
[00:50:28] not like that the geek that's on the YouTube no disrespect that's trying to make a dollar from
[00:50:33] the YouTube I try to be organic in my approach I'm not trying to get rich with the material of man
[00:50:40] overnight you know I'm more trying to absorb that which is needed progress in this in this what
[00:50:49] we call a metaphysical experience that we call life you know so where you can find me you can
[00:50:55] find me on Instagram at last stimulant you know you can find me over on YouTube as last stimulant
[00:51:01] official yeah I've a few things over there but you know doing an interview is really where
[00:51:10] I get to express the unteamed part of the mind because as I said all that I said don't belong
[00:51:18] to me it's just an expression through the alignment of the universe earth and I yaman
[00:51:29] you know if anyone want to link with them you know you can take a link from link
[00:51:35] you can be an agent you know you can't be an agent you know as that's always it's not H1 T1 you know
[00:51:42] now the link is made you know the whole idea you know it the idea is no it's like the earth is a
[00:51:49] disease taken over the earth and if we have enough the disease is within the people I know they
[00:51:56] I know they manoeuvre themselves and it's causing a deterioration of all not at home
[00:52:04] what you see if enough of us know ourselves to know that we're on the path to prepare
[00:52:11] updates for life to exist more than things will be better.
[00:52:15] Yes sir.
[00:52:16] So I'll see you next time you know.
[00:52:17] Blessing is here.
[00:52:19] Yes sir we definitely reconnect.
[00:52:22] Listeners thank you for listening.
[00:52:24] Definitely look into Ross's work.
[00:52:27] Check him out on YouTube he has a lot of powerful words to say and interviews
[00:52:34] and things that I sort and we'll definitely get him back on the program eventually and
[00:52:39] definitely share the program and take some time to really dig into what was said today I think we
[00:52:46] had definitely powerful dialogue in regards to philosophy and I just rise the fire in philosophy but
[00:52:52] just life philosophy so definitely look into it and of course remember your mind is the most
[00:52:58] powerful tool in the universe therefore if you can think it you can do it.
[00:53:02] If you believe in it you can be it and if you fight for it you can have it.
[00:53:06] The world is yours this has been your host Mr. G and I will see you next time on Mastermind.
