The more people hear it, the more the vibes shift on the island. Give thanks, Julia & Robert Roskind The Healing of the Nation Concert Feb. 6 Emancipation Park 6-11PM Free Admission! This vibration of One Love emanating from this small island of Jamaica through its conscious reggae music is having a profound healing effect on people everywhere. It is a force that must be respected, honored and nurtured. Greetings, Jamaica! In the last two years, my wife, Julia, and I have organized 30 Healing of the Nation Concerts throughout schools in Jamaica. We are planning a similar concert this year on Bob Marley's 59th birthday. The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) will be co-venturing the concert with us. As we did the last two years, once again we will forward the challenge of Jamaica being the first society to heal itself with individual acts of One Love and forgiveness. RJR Radio has committed to air the concert live again this year and many conscious artists have agreed to appear if they are on the island. This includes Luciano, Abijah, Ernie Smith, Culture, Judy Mowat, LMS, Morgan Heritage, Mackie Conscious and Warrior King. Also, several well-known Jamaicans will be speaking, including the Governor General Sir Howard Cooke, Dr. Barry Chevannes, Rev. Devon Dick, Rev. Rawle Tyson, Bobby Stephens and others. The concert will be free and held at Emancipation Park starting a 6PM. We are simply the catalyst and organizers. This vibration is emanating from individual Jamaicans, as well as nationally-recognized "healers." With this message now coming forward from well-known people within the culture--from reggae artists, the JCDC, the Governor General and church leaders--the chances of success are greatly increased. Jamaica's Miracles Our message is thank all the people living on the precious island of Jamaica for the four miracles of love they have created together. We are simply asking everyone to create the fifth, which is no more difficult than the first four. Miracle #1: Jamaica is the birthplace of a very powerful global message of One Love, conscious reggae music. It has reached people of all religions, color, nationalities, economic levels, and ages. . Miracle #2: This musical message of One Love is predominantly Jamaican. Almost every well-known conscious reggae artists is from the island. Through their music, millions of people everyday listen to these Jamaican messengers for healing, spiritual guidance and encouragement. Miracle #3: The entire Jamaican society has birthed this message. The music is reflecting the consciousness of the culture. As these artists grew and interacted with their fellow Jamaicans, the dominant (though not only) message they formed, through their hearts and music, was "One Love." Therefore, the entire Jamaican society can take credit for these miracles. Miracle #4: Given what Jamaica has been through and is still going through, it is miraculous that her overridding message is one of love rather than bitterness and frustration. The fifth miracle is to now heal the country with love and forgiveness. This will reaffirm "One Love-Jamaica's Message to the World," just as billboards throughout the island claim. To do this we are asking every Jamaican willing to join with us to heal their own lives by doing one simple thing: to forgive as many people as they can (including themselves), as soon as they can, as much as they can and to encourage others to do likewise. We do not need everyone to join us--not even a majority--just enough to begin to change the vibrations. Then the national healing will continue under its own momentum as more and more people feel the change. Jamaica's Destiny Jamaica is the only place on Earth today that people everywhere, through their love of reggae music, look to as a focus of love and healing. Jamaica is the headquarter, and more importantly, the "heartquarter," of One Love. And for this every Jamaican can take credit and pride, as well as full responsibility for continuing this message in today's world. From our unique perspective as authors writing about the Jamaican culture and carrying their message forward, we know the incredible healing power of this vibration. We have seen at a remote Indian reservation 750 Hopi high school students erupt in joy when Abijah started singing Bob Marley's songs--songs to which they knew every word. We have talked with college students at reggae festivals where we speak who tell us how they are saving their money to make a spiritual journey to the island. We have received letters from prisoners in U.S. jails, thanking us for bringing this Jamaican healing to them through our books, Rasta Heart and The Gathering of the Healers. They have told us that as the inmates read the books and absorb the message, the entire cellblock mellows--an nearly impossible achievement. A youth emailed us "I'm 15 now and I used to be violent and have a short temper but with your book I've changed my life. I've cut out all violence." We do not know whether there will be an observable national healing. However, we can guarantee that everyone joining us will experience a personal healing as love and forgiveness flows through their lives. And even if Jamaica is not the first country to heal itself through love, it will be the first country to try--and even that is a great honor. Jamaica is uniquely qualified to begin and complete a national healing. Her past and present success in creating miracles of love reveals that she is fulfilling her destiny, as stated in her national anthem, "in advancing the welfare of the whole human race." Our Hope However, in this endeavor we are not naive idealists. As Vaclav Havel, playwright and former president of Czechoslovakia once wrote, "Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
