   About The Meditations
The Meditations - Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke and Winston Watson collectively known as The Meditations, recorded their first hit single Woman is Like a Shadow in 1974 at Channel One Recording Studio; followed by Tricked, Babylon Trap Them, Woman Piaba and Running from Jamaica which were included on their first album Message from The Meditations produced by Dobby Dobson. Among other albums were Wake Up, Guidance, No More Friend, For the Good of Man, The Return of The Meditations and Ghetto Knowledge. The groups vocal and harmony style captured the hearts of reggae fans around the world and led to the collaboration of work with Lee Scratch Perry. Scratch, who produced for Bob Marley and the Wailers, asked them to do back up vocals for Funky Reggae Party, featuring Bob on led vocals. Bob Marley was so pleased with their harmony that he went in search for the group to do more back up vocals for him. He found Danny Clarke, one of the groups members, and put him in a taxicab and said, Me nuh wan you come back til you find the other two members. The taxi driver drove Danny to all the studios in Kingston and could not find the other members, until they drove to Idlers Rest, a street where all musicians and singers mostly hang out. When Danny saw Ansel and gave him the news that Bob Marley wanted the group to do back up vocals for him, Ansel thought it was a joke. Still, he and Winston joined Danny in the taxi, which took them to the studio where they added their vocals to Rastaman Live Up and Blackman Redemption. The Meditations did back up vocals on songs for other artist like, Jimmy Cliffs hit Bongo Man Youths Them A Cry; Gregory Isaacs, Mr. Cop and several songs with Junior Marvin and other reggae artist. The Meditations dedication and musical knowledge has helped numerous artist and producers developed their musical careers. In stores now on their own Meditations Music label; "STAND IN LOVE" delivers more passionate stirringly soulful ROOTS ROCK REGGAE from the legendary trio.

I MUST WRITE PLAIN AND CLEAR ENGLISH SO THAT EVEN THOSE WHO ONLY PRACTICE ENGLISH CAN OVERSTAND (UNDERSTAND). IT SEEM AS IF SOME OF THEM ONLY TRYING TO PLAY WITH MY FAITH IN JAH. I CAME IN THIS WORLD  LIVING IN FLESH UPON BONES THAT DOSEN'T LAST TOO LONG, I DONT MAKE PLANS BECAUSE PLANS WERE ALREADY MADE BEFORE LIFE ENTER INTO THIS FLESH. IF I MAKE PLANS AS I HAVE TRIED BEFORE, THEY JUST DONT WORK OUT SO I FOLLOW THE PLAN THAT JAH HAVE RULED OUT, NO ONE CANT ASK I WHAT I AM DOING HERE OR WHAT I AM DOING THERE, IF YOU WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION THEN ASK JAH AND IF YOU WANT TO MOVE I THEN HURRY UP AN-BUK-YU-FLIGHT AND DONT WASTE TIME TALKING I WILL NOT TRY TO FANTASIZE AND DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME.THERE ARE THREE SPIRITS DWELLING AMONG MAN, THE FIRST ONE IS LIFE FROM JAH IN WHICH WE WOULD SAY THE GOOD SPIRIT WHICH ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BY YOU, WHENEVER LIFE LEAVE YOU, YOU WILL DIE, THE SECOND ONE IS THE BODYGUARD FOR LIFE WHICH GUIDE YOU WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING AND BRING YOU VISSIONS OF YOUR PAST AND EVEN GUIDE YOUR FOOTSTEPS WHERE EVER YOU MAY GO AGAINST THE THIRD ONE WHICH IS DEATH, YOU WOULD SAY EVIL SPIRIT WHICH ALWAYS INTEND TO CHANGE YOUR MIND FROM EVERY THING GOOD THAT YOU MAY THINK OF IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG, BECAUSE OF EVIL SPIRIT YOU MAY LEAVE THE RIGHT AND DO THE WRONG BECAUSE A SMALL HILL MAY SEEM TO BE A GREAT MOUNTAIN FOR YOU IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT THE DECEIVING OF THE EYES CAN CHANGE YOUR PICTURE. I AM HERE TODAY, DO YOU KNOW FROM WHERE I CAME?, OR DO YOU KNOW WHERE I AM GOING AFTER GIVING BACK THIS FLESH AND BONES THAT I HAVE BARROWED FROM THE EARTH?, OUR NAME IS NOT WHAT FHEY CALL US OUR NAME IS LIFE.--JAH BLESS--------------

The Ten Commandments of Jah:
1.  I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.
2.  Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in Vain.
3.  Remember thou keep holy the Lord's day.
4.  Honor thy father and thy mother.
5.  Thou shalt not kill.
6.  Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7.  Thou shalt not steal.
8.  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
9.  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.
10.  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.
Then you will have Jah on your side bless! God first then will he know you ok don't  be your God! Peace in the world

CAN YOU FORGIVE YOUR BROTHER AND FORGET, YES YOU CAN TRY BUT HOW CAN YOU FORGET WHEN YOUR MEMORIE DRIVES YOU BACK TO THE TIME, TO THE PLACE AND THE HAPPENINGS, ALSO HOW CAN YOU FORGIVE WHEN EACH AND EVERY ONE HAVE TO ANSWER TO JAH FOR ALL THE EVIL THINGS THAT HE OR SHE HAVE DONE. IF A MAN SAY TO I THAT HE CAN FORGIVE AND FORGET HE LIES, I AN I DONT HAVE THE POWER TO FORGIVE SOMEONE THAT HE ESCAPE THE PENALTY OF JAH AND WHILE OUR MEMORY ALWAYS MAKE A TURNING POINT I AN I CANT FORGET. LETS SAY FOR AN EXAMPLE IF A MAN SHOULD KILL YOUR BROTHER OR YOUR SON YOU MAY SAY YOU FORGIVE HIM AND FORGET IT BUT THATS NOT TRUE AND THERE IS ONE SIMPLE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVEN THE PREACHER OF A CHURCH THAT PREACH ABOUT FORGIVENESS EVERY WEEK SATURDAY OR SUNDAY "CAN THE DEAD MAN FORGIVE HIS KILLER", WELL IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE FORGET HIM BECAUSE HE IS DEAD BUT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT HE CAN FORGIVE HIM. I HAVE NO POWER TO FORGIVE OR TO FORGET THE CRUEL SITUATION OF CAROL GARDEN WHERE POLICE SHOT DOWN EVERY RASTAMAN DEAD ON THE GROUND JUST BECAUSE OF OUR DREADLOCKS AND OUR PRECEP(beard). AFTER SHOOTING DOWN THIRTY THREE (33) RASTAMAN ONE (1) POLICEMAN GOT CAUGHT IN THE RUSH AND LOST HIS HEAD AND THE WHOLE SOCIETY WEEP AND MOURNE FOR THE ONE (1) POLICEMAN BUT NOTHING TO MENTION OF THIRTY THREE (33) DEAD RASTAMAN WITH GUNSHOT ALL OVER THEIR BODY. CAN THESE THIRTY THREE (33) DEAD RASTAMAN FORGIVE THEIR KILLERS?. IF A RASTAMAN SAY HE FORGET WHY HE STILL TALK ABOUT IT, IF HE SAY HE FORGIVE WHY HE STILL BURN FIRE, IF YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE OF THE TIME AND THE PLACE YOU DONT FORGET AND IF YOU STILL BUN FIRE PON A BABYLON YOU DONT FORGIVE. JAH IS ALWAYS LOVE EVEN THOUGH PAGON AND HEDEN MAKE MAKE ONLY WAR AGAINST OURVOW. ---------------------- BLESSINGS FROM JAH TO EACH AND EVERYONE----

JAMAICA, JAH-MEK-YA LITTLE AFRICA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH IN OVERALL SITUATIONS, YET THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK WHICH WILL BE ANSWERED BY QUESTIONS, AND MANY REASONS WHICH WILL LEAD UP TO REASONING. IT DOSEN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AROUND THIS WORLD DONT THINK TOO MUCH OVER THE LAW OF THE LAND THOUGH THEY MAY BE UN-USUAL AND NOT LIKE THOSE THAT YOU HAVE GROWN UP WITH, THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS TRY TO LIVE WITH IT AND THE LAWS YOU DONT LIKE DONT TRY TO STAND IN THE WAY, IT MIGHT BE BITTER FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARE AN OPPOSITION BY DOING THE WRIGHT THING OR THE WRONG THING OR THE WRONG-WRIGHT THING IN THE WRONG WAY EITHER WITH THE GOVERNMENT, THE MAFIAS, THE GANGSTERS, THE CHURCH, THE POPE, QUEEN OR WHO SOEVER IT MAY BE, IS ONLY THE RASTAMAN FEEL THE PAIN AND NEVER FIGHT BACK, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN POLICE IN JAMAICA USE TO BEAT EVEN THE MAN THAT HAS NO LOCKS ONLY BECAUSE HE HAS BEARD ON HIS FACE?, THATS JUST A SMALL PART OF THE STORY. RASTA IS THE LIGHT THAT JAH PROVIDE TO SHINE FOR HE SHE THEY THEM AND THOSE A LIGHT TO LEAD THEM OUT OF DARKNESS INTO THE ROAD OF RIGHTIOUSNESS, FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME I SAW A RASTAMAN WITH THESE TWO EYES HE SAID LOVE "BREDA MAN". SO RASTA IS NOT A FASHION HAIR STYLE RASTA IS TRUE WORSHIPER OF JAH ALMIGHTY. ONE MYSPACE CHURH PREACHER WRITER AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION MAIL BEHIND MAIL ASKED ME, WHY DOES A RASTAMAN CALL UPON HAILE SALASSIE AND HAILE SALASSIE WAS PRAYING TO JESUS?, I ANSWERED WITH ANOTHER QUESTION "IF ALL THE OTHERS THAT I & I HAVE MENTIONED AND NOT MENTION WERE WORSHIPERS OF IDOLS AND FAULSE GODS AND IF HAILE SALASSIE WAS PRAYING TO CHRISTOS ACCORDING TO HIS OR HER WORDS THEN WHO'S FOOTSTEP SHOULD I FOLLOW", UNTIL TODAY I DONT GET AN ANSWER. SO BREDREN AN SISTREN WHERE EVER YOU MAY GO OR WHERE EVER YOU MAY BE LET THE LOVE OF JAH BE WITH YOU AND JAH WILL GUIDE YOU, ITS A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL AND A HEAVY BURDEN TO CARRY YOUR LOCKS UPON YOUR HEAD REPRESENTING THE COVERNANT OF JAH AN TO LIVE THE TRUE LIFE OF A RAST
