| title | "A Rastafari I-ditation 🔍 The Mystery Of "Meru" ⛰️" |
|---|
| body | "<center></center>
I haven't posted much about spirituality or my personal take on Rastafari within the Hive much. I realize I may likely be the only so-called "Rastafarian" on the Hive, but I remain undeterred.
___
<center><h2>**📚 Etymology 🔍**</h2></center>
___
<div class="pull-right">
[](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/JumNe4Ee-Books.JPG)
</div>
"**Word, sound, power**" is a chant or mantra well-known within the **Rastafari community**. This couldn't be a more accurate statement as we humans are well-acquainted with the power of sound and word.
Within my personal spiritual journey, **all explored paths have always sent me back to Ethiopia**, and etymology is one of the things upon which I reason and I-ditate most often.
**Etymology is a great tool for studying and understanding history**, just as important as culture, religion and diet. "**Meru**" is a word I would like to reason upon today.
___
<center><h3>**👳🏿 MERU ⛰️**</h3></center>
___
"**Meru**" is a perfect example of **Abyssinian** or **Kushite/Puntite** influence upon the development of eastern religions. It's been scientifically proven now that **Ethiopia is the birthplace of humanity**, so one would have to reason spirituality was also created here.
**Ethiopia has long been connected with India**, and there are countless examples of this, from the Dravidian people of India to the strikingly similar cuisine of these two distant countries.
___
<center><h3>**👳🏿 Meru In Abyssinia ⛰️**</h3></center>
___
Historically, greater I-thiopia has been known as **Abyssinia**, **Kush**, **Punt** and more. Historically, it is documented that **I-thiopian Kings ruled over lands stretching all the way to India** at one time, and a **massive amount of pharaohs were actually I-thiopian** and not Egyptians.
Aethiopia history is even supported by Greco-Roman philosophers, travelers, historians **Pliny the Elder**, **Strabo** and **Herodotus**, all whom painstakingly documented this part of the world.
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aethiopia#/media/File:Herodotus_world_map-en.svg)
Knowing that **I-thiopia was once historically larger than it is now**, it must be taken into account when studying the past. In Kenya, the **Meru Tribe** still exists, and is also known as the "**Ngaa Tribe"**, with **Naga** being another example of I-thiopian influence.
<center>[](https://i2.wp.com/www.ameru.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Samburu-warrior-Kenya1.jpg?resize=628%2C417)</center>
Additionaly, the **Puntites** *(I-thiopians)* were the greatest sailors of the ancient world, and therefore spread their culture and lore far and wide.
Beyond "**Meru**" being a people from the **Horn of Africa**, in the shadow of **Mt. Kilimanjaro** stands the lesser known **Mt. Meru**, one of Africa's tallest peaks.
[](https://www.kilidreamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/mount-meru-climbing.jpg)
**Meru** is also a common family name, as well as many towns, regions and districts in East Africa carrying this moniker.
I'll stop short of going into detail about [**Kemetic Yoga**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemetic_yoga), which the I-thiopians generously gifted the ancient Egyptians, along with many Pharaohs. That topic can be saved for another post in due time.
___
<center><h3>**🛕 Meru In India ⛰️**</h3></center>
___
An easy starting place is the much more well-known "**Mt. Meru**" in India, a **famous mountaineering peak**. A quick internet search, and most sources say this peaks's name likely originates from the Sanskrit word for peak, with **zero mention of all the obvious East African sources of this word**.
[](https://i1.wp.com/cornellsun.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/20080905_Meru_1266.jpg?fit=1170%2C777)
There is also the "**Mt. Meru**" of **Jain**, **Buddhist** and **Hindu** cosmology, and it is considered to be the **nucleus** of all **physical**, **spiritual** and **metaphysical universes**.
<center>[](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Bhutanese_thanka_of_Mt._Meru_and_the_Buddhist_Universe.jpg)</center>
Isn't it also strange that another name for this sacred peak is "**Sumeru**," which bears a striking resemblance to "**Sumer**," another part of the world influenced by ancient I-thiopian hands and DNA.
I traveled in India and Sikkim many years ago, and went to various **pagodas**, **temples** and **ashrams** in an effort to greater understand Eastern religions. In all that time **I only encountered one person who acknowledged East African influence on South Asian spirituality**.
Not only has history been **whitewashed**, but also **brownwashed**. The **Dravidians didn't create the caste system**, but the Aryans are to thank for that.
Had the **Ngaa Dravidian Ethopians** not gone to India, India wouldn't have the Deva**naga**ri Script, also known as "**Naga**ri." A quick visual comparison of written **I-thiopic Geez** and **Nagari** reveal numerous **striking similarities** noted by many linguists and historians.

<center><h3>**✡️ Meru In Israel ✍️**</h3></center>
___
The Hebrew alphabet is called "**Merubah**," and how could that be a coincidence? The inventors of Hebrew culture are the **Beta Israel** of I-thiopia, also known by the derogatory term **Falasha**, which roughly translates to "**foreigner**, **landless**, or **wanderer**."
<center>[](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/URRHnKnUbPn_wgOyeiVgURWPipKMvin6Ru2quiA7IiumgDHVToHwDpQRksmJ5Le1kTYwOhRfGRLNotNhQxrURRrB2rq6dx4S_0xS9zIxrdF8TSePJQ)</center>
A quick study of world history reveals that **I-thiopia built Jerusalem**, and that **most of the characters in the Torah and/or Bible were I-thiopians**.
This is just another example of I-thiopia not being granted its rightful place in world history.
The **Beta Israel** living outside I-thiopia, especially those within the modern state of Israel, have **never been acknowledged by Israeli Judaism** as the original **Jews**.
<center>[](https://ethiopians4cm.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Beta-Israel.jpg)</center>
There is a pattern I see when I study this little nook of history, and it's hard to refute.
___
<center><h3>**🛣️ All Roads Lead To I-thiopia 🌍**</h3></center>
___
**Ithiopia** and the greater African continent simply don't garner the international respect deserved for **contributing** to the world **yoga**, **meditation** and many other practices now embraced by various international religions and spiritual movements.
This is **my personal I-ditation**, something I reflect upon and reason about internally. A good history-ripping **book**, some **I-scence** and a deep solo and silent **reasoning** with I-self is **my meditation**.
I hope my I-ditations are considered meditations within the [**NaturalMedicine.io**](https://www.naturalmedicine.io/) community, because to me these are meditations, even if not by Buddhist standards.
I also hope **@InnerBlocks** and [**ReggaeJAHM**](https://peakd.com/c/hive-183952/created) can be a home for this content. I would **love to hear feedback** from various communities.
With this venture into Rastafari-related content on the Hive, I hope to **dispel common myths**, **hearsay** and **misnomers** about the world's most misunderstood spiritual and social movement: **Rastafari**.
**Please don't misunderstand this post** as an attack or assault on Buddhism or any other religion. I am merely stating my point of view. **We all create our own realities**, and I merely **choose to accept and I-thiopian version of history** and not refute it.
I am only trying to **share an example of how I I-ditate** in verbal form. Usually a **study session** ends with an **I-tal meal**, then a **spliff**, and then finally a silent and extended **I-ditation** reflecting upon the material studied.

I've placed some conscious music within for your edu-tainment, by none other than the **Wordsmith** himself **Vaughn Benjamin**, the most intellectual musician to ever grace a stage.
**We could use a reasoning from the Wordsmith now more than ever** with the current world situation. In these two songs you'll find some references to some of things I've mentioned in this post.
