InI is an upful, Irie, untamed, free living Iropean Rasta. I live up in the woods, far from the clutter, pollution, noise, and hassle of Babylon. I try everyday to live my life according to One Love, not allowing money, greed, competition, and selfishness to govern my life. Everyday I give Thanks and Praises unto the Most High for all the blessings and challenges of everyday life. Everyday I try to Do Good in my community, help other people, and work for the realization of a better future where we all can live Onegether in Love, Peace, Inity, and Respect. There is no real division in life; it is all an illusion. We may appear to be divided into Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, White, male, female, animal, plant, human, and God, but all Rasta People and all Conscious People know that in truth WE ARE ALL ONE; Man, Wombman, God all ONE. Love rules the world. InI want to work Onegether with other conscious, upful people. "The leaders just can't see it. It may seem sad, but it's a fact. It's up to us to be it, and we become the leaders when we act." I am looking to link up with people who are working for a brighter tomorrow, one in which the people lead and the leaders follow. I am looking to help build a world where the politicians give the order for a war, and no one shows up to fight or die for them, a world where the People of the World seize the control which is rightfully theirs by living their lives according to their own hearts and their owns ideals, not based on some fony money scheme or power structure. I want to network with other spiritual and artistic and visionary people who want to help build a worldwide culture on the foundations of Love, Unity, Cooperation, and Respect. We can work and live together, and laugh as we watch Babylon falling to the ground. Give Thanks and Praise unto the Most I.
