Much people are loving Bob Marley's music, but I'm not sure everyone truely understand his message.



This one is good exemple... Bob obviously wanted us to get up and stand up for our rights :

"Most people think
Great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your rights, Jah !"

This world is still full of people having blind faith in myths, so we have to do what Bob wanted us to do and help them see the light.

This book can also help us emmancipate ourselves from mental slavery, and thus free our mind : http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-universal-truth/

I don't see much more to say about this particular song, I only quote a part, but the rest of the lyrics are truthfull too.
I'll talk about the an other song tomorrow (I must rest now).
Feel free to discuss, ask questions.

"[...]
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
[...]
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom"

Today is time for everyone to help Bob sing other songs of freedom.
As he said, none but ourselves can free our minds.
Seek the truth (check that which is for ourselves) is the way to free our mind, and help people do the same is the way to sing an other song of freedom.

That is not necessary, but can help people free their mind if used to seek the truth (the present moment), and not escape reality.

Here is an interview of Bob talking about herb, but he is not very easy to understand.

Anyway Bob's message is "None but ourselves can free our minds.", he didn't said "Nothing but weed can free our minds"

"Man to man is so unjust
Children, ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
Who the cap fit, let them wear it"

How I interpret this one :
Our worst enemy (that could be our best friend) is our mind.
Our secrets come from our mind, and only our mind can reveal them.
If your mind is producing bad toughts, the cap fits to you, and only you can wear the cap. That means you can not blame the others for how bad you feel some times... the way you feel comes from your mind, and not other people.
Your mind becomes your best friend when you realize you are more than your mind, and you are the master of your life.

Now listen to these songs again thinking about what I said, I could go much deeper if you have questions.

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

That means life is balanced and we are not in control. We could have an accident tomorrow, but we should not worry about it.
We have to stop worry about little things, but appreciate the present moment, appreciate life for what it is and help people do the same.

"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny,
And in this judgement there is no partiality.
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle,
'Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble."
