Most High Selassie I Jah Rastafari Most High Selassie I Jah Rastafari Most High Selassie I Jah Rastafari
Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religion and
philosophy that accepts Haile Selassie I, the
former Emperor of Ethiopia, as God incarnate, whom they
call JahHe is also seen as part of the Holy Trinity
as the messiah promised in the Bible to return. The
name Rastafari comes from Ras (Head or Duke or Chief) Tafari Makonnen,
the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I.
The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class
and peasant black people in the early 1930s, arising
from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy partly based on Selassie's
status as the only African monarch of a fully independent
state, and his titles of King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and
Conquering Lion of Judah
The Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the
world, largely through interest generated by reggae
music—most notably, that of Jamaican-born singer/song writer
Bob Marley. By 2000, there were more than one
million Rastafari faithful worldwide. About five to ten
percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari.

Haile Selassie I (1891-1975)
King Selassie I with some of his 30 lions, who all roamed freely arround his palace
He was the great-great grandson of Sahela Selassie.
Was born as Lij Tafari Makonnen. Was given the religious name, Haile Selassie. He was the son of Ras Makonnen a Shoa Amharan noble, general and the governor of Harar in Ethiopia. Haile's mother was Yashimabet Ali an Oromo. She died two years after his birth.
His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie was emperor of Ethiopia from 1930-1974. The emperor was surrounded by ceremony and protocol intended to enhance his status as a descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie was emperor of Ethiopia from 1930-1974. The emperor was surrounded by ceremony and protocol intended to enhance his status as a descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
He attended the coronation of King Edward VII in England. He received the following decorations: Badge & Star of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (Knight Commander), Star of the Russian Order of St. Anne, Star of the French Legion d'Honneur (Third Republic), Star of the Order of the Crown of Italy, Star of the Ottoman Order of Osmania.
He effected a number of reforms during his reign including the abolition of slavery, creating schools and universities, and generally began the development of a modern national infrastructure. The emperor took nonmilitary measures to promote loyalty to the throne and to the state. Some 150 university-age students studied abroad. The government enacted a penal code in 1930, imported printing presses to provide nationally oriented newspapers, increased the availability of electricity and telephone services, and promoted public health. The Bank of Ethiopia, founded in 1931, commenced issuing Ethiopian currency.
Haile was the last emperor of Ethiopia. Some people still called the country Abyssinia

Rastafari developed among an oppressed people
who felt society had nothing to offer them except
more suffering. Rastas may regard themselves as conforming
to certain visions of how Africans should live,
reclaiming what they see as a culture stolen from them when
their ancestors were brought on slave ships to Jamaica,
the movement's birthplace.
Unlike many modern religious groups that tend
to stress conformity toward the "powers-that-be,"
Rastafari instead stresses loyalty to their concept of "Zion," and
rejection of modern society (called Babylon), which
they see as thoroughly corrupt. "Babylon" in this case is
considered to be rebelling against "Earth's Rightful Ruler" JAH.
This "way of life" is not merely to be assented to
intellectually, or "belief" as the term is often used;
it is used for the finding and knowledge of one's true identity.
To follow and worship JAH Rastafari is to find,
spread and "trod" the unique path to which each individual
Rasta was rightfully born.
The religion is difficult to categorize, because Rastafari
is not a centralized organization. Individual Rastafari
work out their religion for themselves, resulting in a wide variety
of beliefs nevertheless also covered under the
general umbrella of Rastafari.
Rastafari is a response to racist negation of black people
as it was experienced, both in the world as a whole
(where Selassie was the only black leader recognised in international circles)
, and in Jamaica, where in the 1930s black
people were at the bottom of the social order, while
white people and their way of religion and system of government
were at the top. Marcus Garvey's encouragement of
black people to take pride in themselves and their African
heritage inspired the Rastas to embrace all things African. They
teach that they were brainwashed while in captivity to
negate all things black and African. They turned the white image of
them--as primitive and straight out of the jungle--into a
defiant embrace of the African culture they see as having
been stolen from them when they were taken from Africa
on the slave ships. Africa is associated with Zion.
Africa/Zion is the starting place of all human ancestry as well as
the original state of mind that can be reached through
meditation and the ganja herb.
Rastas say that scientists try to discover how the
world is by looking from the outside in, whereas
the Rasta approach is to see life from the inside, looking out.
The individual is given tremendous importance in
Rastafari, and every Rasta has to figure out the truth for
himself or herself.Another important Afrocentric
identification is with the colours green, gold, and red, of the
Ethiopian flag as well as, with the addition of
black, the colors of "Pan-African Unity" for Marcus
Garvey. They are a symbol of the Rastafari movement, and of
the loyalty Rastas feel toward Haile Selassie,
Ethiopia, and Africa rather than for any other modern state
where they happen to live. These colors are frequently
seen on clothing and other decorations. Red stands for the
blood of martyrs, green stands for the vegetation
of Africa, while gold stands for the wealth and prosperity Africa has to offer.

DREAD LOCK
The wearing of dreadlocks is very closely associated with
the movement. Rastas shall not make baldness
upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their
beard, nor make any cuttings in the flesh.
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come
upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he
separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the
locks of the hair of his head grow.
The length of a Rasta's
dreads is a measure of wisdom, maturity, and knowledge in that it
can indicate not only the Rasta's age,
but also his time as a Rasta.Dreadlocks have also come to symbolize the Lion of
Judah and rebellion against Babylon. Rastafari associate
dreadlocks with a spiritual journey that
one takes in the process of locking their hair
(growing dreadlocks).It is taught that patience is the key to
growing dreadlocks, a journey of the mind, soul and spirituality.
Its spiritual pattern is aligned with the
Rastafari religion. People who do not understand the process sometimes mock the
dreadlock style and make comments about the cleanliness of the locked hair.
The way to form natural dreadlocks is to allow hair to grow in its natural pattern,
without cutting, combing or brushing, but simply to wash it with pure water

GANJA CANNIBIS MARIJUANA
For many Rastas, smoking cannabis (known as ganja, herb, kali, or lamb's bread) is a spiritual act, often accompanied by Bible study; they consider it a sacrament that cleans the body and mind, exalts the consciousness, facilitates peacefulness, and brings them closer to Jah. The burning of the herb is often said to be essential "for it will sting in the hearts of those that promote and perform evil and wrongs." Many believe that cannabis originated in Africa, and that it is a part of their African culture that they are reclaiming.They are not surprised that it is illegal, seeing it as a powerful substance that opens people's minds to the truth — something the Babylon system, they reason, clearly does not want. They contrast their herb to liquor, which they feel makes people stupid, and is not a part of African culture. While there is a clear belief in the beneficial qualities of cannabis, it is not compulsory to use it, and there are Rastas who do not do so.The Rasta's use of herb means that the Persecution of Rastafari for their religious beliefs is a reality. The migration of many thousands of Indian Hindus to the Caribbean in the 20th century may have brought this culture to Jamaica.
They believe that the smoking of cannabis
enjoys Biblical sanction and is an aid to meditation
and religious observance.
Among Biblical verses Rastas believe justify
the use of cannabis:
Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth
bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,
whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so.
Genesis 3:18 " thou shall eat the herb of the field
Proverbs 15:17 "Better is a
dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled
ox and hatred therewith
Psalms 104:14 "He causeth the grass to grow
for the cattle, and herb for the service of man
