Rasta elder warns against materialism and speaks on the importance of reading.. 

Love this. I tell my friends all the time, "Get what you need to survive. Use the rest to travel and gain knowledge." They look at me like I'm crazy.

Spiritual vibes. What i like most about the wisdom of the Rastamen, when they present it to you to use and apply to your life, they don't judge you for what you are, because they know they are not the ones to judge. They just say how it is, and they are honest, they aren't perfect either, but they know its about the pureness of ones heart. As he said, to reach the next level. If one goes into himself and decides he can reach a higher state with the use of alcohol and too much materialism, then what do you want to do? Somewhere deep inside him he will know its wrong. He will have some sort of unfulfillment in his heart. He might not know what is lacking, but something is lacking, and because he isn't educated he might not find the right course. He will think material is what he has to aquire. So lets spread the elders words. As his imperial majesty said: In order to be helped one must help, and in helping one is helped. Bless up.

This man is a true mentor from as long as I know him. One of the most brilliant minds in Ja..... Blessed Love to Kofi & Ras Flacko

Wanting stuff is living in poverty because you never have enough

The older you get the realization of the things you thought was important lose value with time, I've come to overstand that all you have in life is life

Unless I'm underestimating these guys ages because of their great skin and diet, it should be noted that most raw foods are acidic and i think it's the reason a lot of the guys getting interviewed have false teeth. I noticed it with Dick Gregory as well

Ain't nothing wrong with having things, how can you be a king with out lavish garments?
