BANG!!!!!!!...TRANSFORMATION!!!! THAT ALL PAPA LEGBA ...PEOPLE WAS STAGNANT AND NEEDED TO BE MOVED
It's like he said, it's all about transformation. In order to create something new, you gotta destroy the old. This is hard for a Christian to understand because Paul castrated God and put out the idea that God is good. But if God is the totality of all there is, then he must contain good and bad - positive and negative - right?
Did not God cause the great flood?
That would be done through Osun, who "causes men to run when she 's seen on the road." Reference to flood waters. Oshun's waters are the strongest medicine for healing, but also can destroy everything - clean house!
Oya transforms as a force of nature, as the hurricane, among other things. Hurricanes develop as systems in West Afrika, and do their cleaning in the Caribean, etc.
HHMMMMM
My post was in response to these remarks
OK!
Dr King said folks were calling him a drum major behind his back, but it would good to hear also his response and what he said he was a drum major for.
we can sit and respond ton just one post for three months or talk about sports, or the latest gossip if that makes some more comfortable.
But it seems there are amny folks here who want things out in the open and revealed and an end to hypocracy.
We have heard all kinds of cults tell us that slavery was a blessing for us and all kids of what not, now if in the name of Dr king you think they deserve these kinds of statements then just think about what he would say.
I passed about 2 to 300 Haitians up here in Brookly East Flatbush since the incident, maybe you would like to tell them I should not be irrate about flippant statemnts about the famileis they lost!
GET A GRIP!!!! PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY..IT IS THE CYCLE OF LIFE...THEY WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY DIED ANYWAY... THINGS HAPPEN AND YOU MOVE ON!!
