This woman openly promoted the smoking of Hashish as a spiritual enhancer. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (-Hahn), (Jekaterinoslav 12 august. 1831 London 8 may 1891 author of (The Secret Doctrine), founder of the Theosophical School. She was a leading theosophist before her death; she had many protgs among them was the famed Annie Besant, and Alice Ann Bailey of The reappearance of the Christ fame.

Annie Besant Besant was considered by George Bernard Shaw to bethe greatest female orator of her time. Besant was a great friend of Mahatma Ghandi and his cohort Jawarhlal Nehru.

Annie Besant was an avowed atheist before she met madame Blavatsky.

In the book written by Alice Bailey she claimed that the earth would pass through a cleansing cycle, all those who rejected the idea that humanity could experience their own godhood, such as Christians and others would be removed as part of that cleansing cycle according to her Jesus was simply an ascended master each of us can ascend therefore we all have the potential to be Christ like, as can be seen this teaching is simply the same deception that Satan told Eve in the garden. Unfortunately, this teaching is a part of the core value system as set forth in the teaching material of the United Nations. The organization that has as its primal responsibility the collective security of the human race and the education of the race has a value system developed by theosophists who have a religion that has been dubbed The New Age Movement. The present British Labor Party once led by Tony Blair and now by Gordon Brown, adopted much of its ideology from the Fabian Society an organization populated by theosophists all of whom called themselves intellectuals, some of its more famous members were Annie Besant and George Bernard Shaw.

Shaw was the most famous English playwright of the 19th and 20th century. As can be seen some of the most powerful and influential public figures in the western hemisphere. In the spheres of politics, popular culture and even religion are decidedly of a pronounced antiChristian value system as a result Christian youth should be maximally equipped with information that will allow them to separate the truth of their value system from the paganism taught on university campuses and elsewhere. In the following section, we will examine the intellectualization of drug addiction and the glamorization of such by mainly western European so called intellectuals.

Black men and women who consider themselves to be intellectuals have also glamorized the drug life, even some in the Black Nationalist and Consciousness communities have perpetuated the drug lifestyle or rather to use a term from their own lingua the drug death style.

Sigmund Freud the Cocaine addicted occult practioner and his friend Carl Jung also an occultist invented modern psychology. Lauded by Western academia as the father of their modern psychology. Both these men openly admitted to their Cocaine useFreud was an outright Junky who said Cocaine was his personal medicine and he came up with most of his theories that are used today in Colleges and universities while under its influence .Since the bible calls these practices sorcery and when one is under a drugs influence it is really a demonspirit that one is opened to or possessed by one can see why this work states that the so called secular world is in fact the kingdom of Satan since their inspiration for everything that they do is literally demon inspired ways of thinking and living.

John D Rockefeller in 1947 he donated the grounds on which the present day United Nations building sits to the U.N. The influence of Bailey's works has been, even greater than that of Blavatsky in the New Age movement. Another well-known theosophist/occultitian and Blavatsky clone is Annie Besant. Annie Besant became leader of the occult theosophical society, and began to regard India as her home. Besant was appointed, head of the Indian National Congress, established by the British government in 1917. She also fought for the restoration of the Indian cults.

Before her death in 1933, at Madras she tried to establish her Hindu protg J Krishnamurti as the messiah,and a world teacher. She was waiting to be reincarnated in order to continue her work to save the earth. The similarities between certain practices of sects worldwide in the nineteen thirties are astounding. The thirties saw an upsurge in millenarian movements and messianic sects, Rastafari is only one of many. This book aims to reveal the various influences and aspects within Shamanist cultures,additionally it is, an introduction to the Full Body Ministry.

CHAPTER 1: THE ESOTERIC ORIGINS OF RASTAFARI. Many claim that Rastafari was as a result of a prophecyby Marcus Moziah Garvey. Marcus Garvey the Jamaican born 1930,s Black Nationalist and head of the U.N.I.A. was a vehement critic of Haile Selassie hemaligned him for seeking British protection during the Italian aggression led by Benito Mussolini against Ethiopia in the nineteen thirties . Garvey never recognized the Rastafari as a serious Black Nationalistorganization.

Figure1. Marcus Mosiah Garvey the Jamaican born leader of the U.N.I.A. the Universal Negroe Improvement Association.

Garvey organized Africans on the continent and around the globe, around his Black Nationalist philosophy it is from the school of thought developed by this man, that many of the modern African intellectuals and Pan- Africanists gained their core ideology. Although many earlier Garveyites later became Rastafari this was a personal choice not something inspired by a cohesive philosophy. Garvey proclaimed many times in speeches that a prince would come out of Africa Ethiopia would soon stretch out her hands unto God quoting from psalms. Most soapbox orators of the time, of the Black Nationalist persuasion, often quoted biblical passages in an attempt, to stir the collective souls of their audiences. The bible was held in high esteem,anyone familiar with scripture was honored by poor blacks of the time. Garvey was no exception he was shrewd,he knew how to, collectively mobilize people for mass action. Garvey never prophesied of the coronation of Haile Selassie, a scriptural quote is not a prophesy. The Rastafari took Garveys scriptural quotation of psalms 68: 31; Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God, as direct prophetic fulfillment in the crowning of Haile Selassie. I will now deal with a very troubling development, in a certain type of literature that has been developed, but which will not remain unchallenged. The type of literature Iam alluding to is that which has been created by white writers and journalists, pandering to what they consider to be their humanist side, what it truly is; Arrogance, and an economic niche, that they have created for themselves, wherein they have been able to generate exorbitant amounts of funds pandering to the type of readership that they cater to. Within this type of literature, there exists much hypocrisy, I will touch lightly on the subject, and it is with indignation that I write when I deal with their outright blatant attempt, to minimize, and diminish the accomplishments and contributions, that Marcus Garvey made to the Black man globally. I am aware of quite a few people, whose lives changedfor the better after reading Garveys work; the statements made by this white journalist will not go unchallenged in this work. Marcus Garvey being led captive by his American captors on a false charge of using the US mail servicesto facilitate fraudulent activity. Through the Freedom of Information Act, the widow of Garvey Amy Jacques Garvey was able to procure formerly confidential FBI documents and also the actual transcripts of the court proceedings that led to the illegal conviction of Marcus Garvey . Marcus Garvey was influenced by his own admission by one Edward Wilmot Blyden. A native of the B.V.I.A St Thomas resident, who travelled to Africa as a missionary. Many people will try to falsify history and reduce Garvey to a narrow paradigm as exclusive to Jamaica his significance transcends geographic boundaries, he was truly a world citizen, his teaching was universal the aspects of Garveyism that are separatist and racist his concept of race purity, is rank racism and

nationalism I reject outright and condemn that aspect of his teaching the other aspects of Garveyism that are conducive to my wholesome development I can consume the rest I discard as unacceptable for my consumption. Garvey was a product of the type of thinking being developed amongst African descendants in the West at that time. The global universe of education produced Garvey, Blyden, George Padmore , C.L.R. James and later Malcolm X and Martin Luther King J.R. These men were not mere soapbox orators they literally shaped the world and influenced generations of the earths populace. Although men like C.L.R. James were Marxists they still shaped much of what is termed Black Literature today.For this reason I have openly stated apostolic people cannot honor anyone whether they are black or white simply on the basis of their status as a pop icon, pop culture is not limited to music. Popular culture denotes all accepted art forms that have made a significant impact in what is considered an acceptable or professional standard. There were many black Marxists and Communists some like Harry Belafonte are revered by many people who call themselves Christian how can you claim Christ and revere and honor someone who is diametrically opposed to all that you claim to stand for. The mistake of black people identifying with anyone popular who looks like them is an example of a negative cultural characteristic that apostolic people must avoid. I identify more with a Chinese or Japanese who is truly saved than with any black manor woman who is not, skin color is not the basis for my allegiance, another persons allegiance to Jesus forms the basis of my allegiance to that person regardless of race, color, or creed. Malcolm X impact transcends the so called African American Malcolm X is revered by many Muslim youth from Morocco and throughout much of Muslim Africa, particularly in the Sudan and outside of the Muslim community in Africa he is honored by many on the continent and throughout the Western hemisphere . The significance of these people and their lifes work was mentioned in order to illustrate how these persons influenced and shaped the thinking of Caribbean people. In her book The First Rasta Helen Lee claims, that Marcus Garvey was agitating for integration,how a supposedly informed individual could make such a claim, can mean only one thing, Lee who is obviously enamored with Howell; was pandering to certain sentiments and sensibilities of the type of readership that she caters to. Lee also made the ridiculous claim that Garvey never returned to Jamaica she correctly stated that Garvey died in England in 1940. After his release from prison on trumped up charges Marcus Garvey was deported to Jamaica in 1928, where he resumed his activities on behalf of Africans everywhere. He was politically active in Jamaica where he ran for a seat on the city council while he was in prison, he won by an overwhelming margin. Lee attempt at diminishing the impact and influence of Marcus Garvey on the development of African civilization in the Diaspora is exposed in this work for what it is, a specious attempt at misinformation the historical records clearly show that Garvey was deported back to Jamaica he later left for England where he died in 1940 by creating the false notion that Garvey never returned to Jamaica but was somehow sent to England is a deliberate and malicious attempt by this white journalist claiming to identify so greatly with the Rastafari that even within the obvious suicidal behavior of Athlyi( Roger Athlyiwriter of the Holy Piby i.e. the Rastafari

bible).Lee attempted to make Athlyi some sort of hero. Athlyi killed himself plain and simple no amount of misplaced pandering to misdirected sensibilities can change this. The likes of Athlyi was not and have never been a great influence on black people globally Athlyi marginal influence is limited to the few followers he had in his heyday, likewise Leonard Howell. Marcus Mosiah Garvey on the other hand influenced black intellectuals globally and he still does so today from politicians and preachers to university students to street hustlers Garveyism has had an enduring impact on the world that no human being can diminish nor deny. The ideology that Garvey espoused, led to many African leaders, such as Kwame Nkrumah, and Jomo Kenyatta just to mention two very famous leaders, who openly called themselves PanAfricanists after the ideology developed by Marcus Mosiah Garvey. The ideology called Garveyism, led to these men formulating the methods, and means that they would later utilize to bring about the independence of their respective countries. That they failed to follow in the PanAfrican tradition after having achieved independence is no reflection on Garveyism at all, but rather it is a reflection on the men as human beings. Today both the JLP and the PNP of Jamaica are both vying for the right to call themselves the ideological successors of Marcus Garvey; fortunately for Garvey history will show that he was not a socialist. Garvey believed firmly in the democratic ideal, and capitalism, in fact was his preferred economic model. Both the JLP and PNP are socialistic in their rhetoric, in practice they are decidedly autocratic,and absolutist in their governing styles bordering on oligarchies. The very fact that these parties are now vying for the right to call Marcus Garvey, the father of their political ideology, points to his universal acceptance that has in fact forced the political hierarchy in his homeland, to want to adopt him as father of their various movements. Pan-Africanists, the Rastafari, students of the enlightened variety both white and black have long accepted and understood the universal truths espoused by Marcus Garvey,however his separatist rhetoric has been and rightly should be avoided by most the applicability of his political program as pertains to the betterment of the condition of the African in the Diaspora should be championed by any truly enlightened Caribbean leader. Caribbean people do not need white journalists or academicians to define their reality;theycan define their own reality. On the point of the church role in the Caribbean; Lee attempts to portray the role of women,as substituting for the lack of men in said institutions. The Jesus image, as created by whites is portrayed by Lee, as a psychological prop; unto which black Caribbean Christian women, project all of their pent up sexual emotions. Lee in her attempt to describe the church services of some people, who may or may not be Christian,lumped Christianity with Pocomania, and other religious sects. The Pentecostal movement is a factworldwide; many people around the world grew up in the Pentecostal movement. Lee erroneously claimed that speaking in tongues is akin to the possession, of the cults. Speaking in tongues has been observed all over the globe even among Europeans and Caucasians in America and Canada, accounts of such are to be found in newspaper articles and on video footage throughout the western hemisphere. The attempt by some white writers to portray speaking in tongues as a black phenomena,limited to the uneducated and the ignorant is an example of their use of their mastery of the written word to portray events in favor of the worldview that they espouse.This in the case of writers like Helen Lee and Timothy White is a decidedly pro-Rastafari worldview.

While these writers can champion whatever worldview they want to their attempts at lumping the very real experience of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in true Christians with demon or spirit possession akin to the possession at a Voodoo ceremony will be challenged in this work as it is mere fantasy and conjecture on the part of two journalists attempting to explain away something that is experienced by people globally regardless of color or creed on a daily basis, as a purely black phenomena limited to a few backward peasants and women with a limited education nothing could be farther from the truth. Since true Christianity is diametrically opposed to occultism, those of us who truly know what the Full Body Ministry, stands for can appreciate the paradox in the matter. For one the truly Christian woman would consider such thoughts sacrilegious, and the so-called white Jesus image, even in Jamaican society is not revered by all, not in the early 20th century nor today. There has been and still are in the region churches that emphatically teach an anti-Eurocentric doctrine, there are many church institutions regionally who do not encourage the veneration of any imagery periodtaken from Roman Catholicism, even the pagan Christmas is not venerated nor celebrated by Apostolic people in the Caribbean nor around the globe. The weak attempt of a white woman to define the experience of the African in the Diaspora failed, as all such attempts must fail, by dint of the fact that; the African in the Diaspora is far more complicated, and sophisticated than any one from outside said group, presuming to be ableto precisely analyze an entire group of people will ever be able to fathom. Leonard Howell one of the earliest Rastafari leaders/ prophets was an ardent admirer of Hinduism, and Indian culture and philosophy in general. The original Howellites could be heard chanting to Krishna the Hindu-god. Howell began in the early thirties encouraging his followers to revere Haile Selassie as a messiah, during this time there were many Rastafari mendicants. Some well-known leaders were Joseph Hinds, Archibald Dunkley and Nathaniel Hibberts, though there were many leaders, these were some of the earliest and chief leaders, of some of the better known Rastafari sects.All the other more contemporary leaders rose to prominence in the nineteen sixties. Haile Selassie received certain Rastafari leaders during his Jamaican visit, some of whom were honored with imperial medals by the emperor. Mention also must be made here of Prince Emmanuel the founder of the Emmanualites so called Bobo Shanties. Vernon Carrington founder of the twelve tribes of Israel is a well-known Rastafari leader; both these men rose to prominence in the sixties. A Rastafari delegation went to Africa after the visit of Haile Selassie to Jamaica Haile Selassie himself denounced the idea that he was divine; stating that he was a Christian, and worshipped Jesus, the Rastafari saw his denial as a sign of humility. The idea of Haile Selassie as a god later gained global prominence through the medium of Reggae music;RobertNesta Marley the half-caste boy from Kingston being its most ardent seed planter. The philosophical packaging and ideology of Rastafari is similar in many aspects,to Hinduism, right down to their Vegan diet,anyone can discover this for themselves by studying the original theology of Rastafari, the person wishing to know truth must first understand who Howell was, and why his doctrine appealed to the disenfranchised, and downtrodden of society.The first Rastafari unlike today, were largely poor, and uneducated young black men and women the eldership consisted of war veterans, some former Garveyites, and many young unwed mothers.

Although Howell was not the only black Jamaican at that time teaching about a black messiah, he was one of them who succeeded where many failed in establishing a commune where his people could live and work largely undisturbed by outsiders. The belief in a universal black messiah was widespread amongst African descendants in the Western hemisphere, even amongst African Americans, as they had their Wallace Fard and Elijah Poole aka Elijah Muhammad, (These men also claimed to be messiahs or Mahdi=Arabic for messiah). Based on historical accounts then we can safely say that Leonard Howell was not a novelty in the early thirties when this type of teaching was widespread amongst black people globally. What was novel about Howell though, was his ability to galvanize his followers few before him or after him have been able to do what he did, and it is for that reason that I have chosen to focus on him, he influenced present day Rastafari thinking and living more so than any of the other leaders. Even after Howells camp (Pinnacle) was broken up, many of his followers were able to galvanize large segments of the poorer classes behind their ideology. Poverty lack of education and financial resources conditioned the masses of young people at that time to seek a way out of their situation. When Howell came on the scene preaching black pride and hailing Haile Selassie as a god, offering a refuge from the ghetto that they inhabited Howells practice of Marijuana use offered a temporary escape from the bleak landscape at that time. Howell became an instant savior to those people at that time he became their leader a voice for the voiceless and a father to the fatherless. Howell renounced his British citizenship claiming Ethiopia as the Promised Land for blacks, and Haile Selassie as their long awaited king who would deliver them from European colonial tyranny and oppression. Howell lived in an Indian styled hilltop commune, called Pinnacle he called himself Gangunguru Marajh, he even had a harem in the manner of the Hindu kings that he so admired. Howell was well read and had traveled extensively when he lived in the city of New York; he ran a tea shop,he more than likely sold Marijuana in his tea shop. Howell himself functioned as a healer; years later in Jamaica, he would use his knowledge to heal people, he took them to a hot springs bath that relaxed their minds and bodies healing them of many ailments in their physical bodies. Howell was not simply talking hope he was bringing about results many of the women he attracted were young uneducated single mothers looking for a way out poverty. The situation today has not changed much the Village Ram mentality; of some in the Caribbean, has spawned a generation of young single parent households headed by mostly, poor, young, uneducated women. This situation has led to an increasingly alarming number of single, young women, turning to, the drug lords for their financial sustenance. While criminal enterprise has proven to be very lucrative.The truly wealthy criminals hold a monopoly position. The youngmen and women that the dons employ; are largely their pawns, and are usually expendable when they no longer cooperate, or are either incarcerated or incapacitated. Howell was what the poor saw as a way of escape at that time he knew what they wanted him for and he wanted power and lordship thusly both parties were served they fed his illusions of grandeur and he literally fed them in this scenario each party corrupted the other yet they both

got what they wanted . Howell was genuine in his beliefs he was willing to die for his beliefs and his followers this is what endears a man to anyone if a man is willing to die for his word that stance will inadvertently bring about a certain measure of respect from others even ones enemies. Howell was a bonafide channeler he was an adept in elemental magic; (elemental magicis rituals where various elemental spirits are conjured in order to aid the adepts, there are earthbound spirits, fire spirits, water spirits, and air spirits), his son Blade in the book The First Rasta by Helen Lee corroborated this. Howell was adept at spirit channeling people felt a definite presence when he entered a room, that was his hallmark his bearing and presence. Bob Marley would later emulate this man calling himself Tough Gong,meaning Iam tougher than Gong. The original Gong was Leonard Howell, a Gong is a hallowed cymbal like instrument used by almost all oriental religious systems of worship, to announce the proceeding, or ending of a session, this instrument was also used to honor a particular deityspresence. Howell was meticulous in his choice of names and euphemisms Bob Marleys use of the name was mostly braggadocios, and also a respectful acquiescence of the preeminence of Howell. Howell used Cannabis as a means of gaining contact with the spirit world. Howell understood that the average youth,of a western persuasion would never easily grasp the intricacies involved in spirit contact through meditation, and tantricism, the smoking of Cannabis was an easier simpler method so this was employed. In the late sixties, Howell and his followers were nominally wealthy people, because of, Cannabis cultivation. Rastafari culture holds as a core tenet that, Cannabis Sativa is a sacred i.e. (Holy)plant.

They brought with them their religious beliefs and gods; (Some accounts claim that the

Spaniards introduced Cannabis into the Caribbean as early, as the 15th century, the Cannabis originated in both historical accounts in India). These people some of whom were called Sadhus, or holy men brought Cannabis Sativa to Jamaica their worship of their gods sometimes entailed the smoking of Cannabis, at certain points an elixir would also be drunk this potion contained a mixture of honey and Cannabis,(Behang/Bhang).

The above plant is a Hemp plant, which was grown in the Caribbean region in as early as the 15th century this, was done chiefly by the British in an attempt to break the Russian monopoly on the production of Hemp as an industrial product. The Hemp plant was used chiefly as an industrial product, the plant is indigenous to West and Central Asia.

Figure: This map indicates a portion of Western Asia Ur of the Chaldea is also indicated.The Euphrates and TigrisRiversrespectively areshown as two blue parallel lines flowing into the PersianGulf. The complexed relationships evinced between these regions cannot be handled in this work as this will take the work into an unintended direction suffice it to say that this work is in fact a synopsis of a much broader work. Western Asia denotes a number of geographic regions chiefly Iran, Turkey, Syria, and a number of other regions Iraq is in South Western Asia. As recently as1979,Iran was known as Persia. The term Central Asia denotes portions of or the entire region of Turkistan, Turkistan is the historical term for a region in Central Asia comprised of Kazakhstan, portions of Tajikistan and

Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, and the autonomous Chinese border territory ofXinxiang Uygur in the past it was called East Turkistan or Chinese Turkistan. Authors note, The last piece of historical data shows why there is a Chinese Muslim population in China, this occurred as a result of conquest by the Turks during the expansion of their Ottoman empire if one is an avid news buff you will recall that the Xinxiang province in China is a hotbed of Chinese Muslim extremist activity. As can be seen taking into account the information given about the civilizations shown above, they were all highly developed cultures in the past and had frequent contact amongst themselves, it should come as no surprise to anyone that a common religion was shared by the people in the regions shown above, again using archeology and historical data I have shown and proven my statements and assertions shown herein, I will now continue our look at the Hemp plant. Hemp is also grown as an industrial product in Russia, Poland, Japan, Hungary, and China. Hemp is refined and developed into soap, it is used in paint,and the Hemp products Marijuana, and Hajjis are used as drugs. Based on the above information we have learnt that, Cannabis served a variety of uses, in the past as well as today. In modern society in most countries of theworld,Cannabis is used, as a recreational drug, its usefulness as medicine has rarely been examined, or taken seriously by the medical community. Many persons clamor for its legalization as a means of furthering their own subversive agendas. The aim here is not to promote the smoking of any substance recreationally or for selfmedication, the intent here is to honestly deal with the multi-functional role that Hemp products have played as a natural product that has been developed and exploited by man, it is in mans abuse and misuse of the plant that he has created the addictive behavior, evinced today among many people in all sectors of society. I will now resume my examination of the Pinnacle settlement and the lifestyle of its leader and his followers.

The Pinnacle settlement was associated with Indian plantation workers with locked hair; this was before any African descendants in Jamaica ever grew locks. Certain Rastafari elders called locks Zagavi;theetymology of the word, Zagavi is in the
