Rastafari Reasoning
On the meaning of Rastafari:
Rasta man just lives and loves. Rasta livity is rooted in natural philosophy. That is why it is said that Rastafari is a natural one.
That is to say that there is no one accepted way in Rastafari. As long as one is natural and pure in his conception and action…he is a Rasta man.
Rastafari is a vibration one attains from deep and long meditations. In Rastafari one comes to discover the gentle footpaths of nature for oneself. It is a philosophy which arises from the conviction of your own soul based on reason and intuition.
Rastafari is a rational methodology that is applied in the task of discovering eternal truths. It is a way to view life, rationalize events and react to the system. Although it emphasizes communal living, at the same time it is highly individualistic because each Ras and Empress must embark on this discovery journey for the truth alone.
Despite the teachings and advice of all the elders and brethren around, the decision of each Rasta man or woman on what is right or wrong, is a highly personal thing. Because one cannot decieve himself eventhough he deceives others by seeking to comport with Othordoxy. A Rastaman or woman is not afraid of the truth as he or she knows and truly understands it! Thus the Rasta experience is a journey to the house of truth.
When this journey is undertaken with sincerity, it is well possible that certain immutable truths of life may become obvious to one. Just like logic, geometry, astronomy, architecture, arts, music and mathematics are known to contain certain inexorable precepts that are constant and sacred in nature.
On the meaning of Love and Marriage:
When one views the institution of marriage, it is realized that its rites and other solemnities are inventions of society. But the love that endures between a man and a woman is prior and superior to any subsequent societal rites of “marital†endorsement.
One Ras may differ from another in this perspective but InI would say that developing a great loving relationship takes work. Love blossoms with care and dies with neglect. Thus building a solid relationship based on true love ought to be the preoccupation of true lovers marriage or no marriage.
Matrimony was created as a superstructure towering over natural love. It will always remain a man made rite, subject to the changing attitudes of an evolving society.
The ones that agree with and accept this super structure do so for various reasons chief of which include a need for social legitimacy and legal recognition. That may be all well and good for the long term strategy of those ones.
Yet, InI must not lose focus of the fact that, one social institution (called marriage) should not, and cannot over-ride the purity, the sheer importance of sincere love between a man and a woman.
Ah so me sight it, I.
One Love

Blessed Love. That was Very well recited, and totally accurate. It gives IanI total love when knowing that there are wise bredren and sistrens out there. Stay blessed. GUIDANCE
hi my name is semra and i live in england. i have been in love with a rasta man for a year now and he is my life. we have different backgrounds, i am a 42 year old british born muslim and my boyfriend is 23 lives in jamaica and is a rasta. i have a lot of faith in our relatinship and would appreciate any advise you have on advising me on cultural background. will it work
I would like to take the time to simply say thank you for the reasoning above. I would not classify myself as following the livity of Rastafari. I would even dare to say that I am still searching. Yes, my heart is tugging towards the Rasta livity. But I am not ready to let go and a part of me feels like I am fighting myself. I am writing this to you because I used to have my locks and I used to enjoy the company of the Brothers that I was associated with. But as stated above everyone has a different journey. Yes advice can be given but it doesnt mean anything if it doesnt feel right with the individual. So I cut my locks and I started to regret the day that I begin to search for the rasta livity. Now, I am like to the point not that I want to judge I just realize that if I take on this journey I can not listen to this one or that one elder or no. I have to listen to God. So I am being worked with and I am just so greatful that you took the time to write that reasoning. I would comment on the marriage portion but there is no need to. I am starting to realize that some things are not what they seem.
Maybe you could help me to understand how can a Rasta man have more than one woman and treat one better than the other? Better yet dont even answer that.
Blessed love all aspects i am impressed with all dat been said so ises to all idren n sistrens
rastafari bless

Greetings,
I am a “baby Rasta”, and for some reason, in love with an Irish guy. I don know if it is wrong or right.
*Sometimes Jah said it’s fine, but I sometimes hear him say, “Well, don think about him right now, or forget him for now”..
What does this mean?

~one luv
Eva or whatever
You have the wrong interpretation, mixed up with vain imagination.
Jahdey
Jah asks us to live our lives based on compassion, not judgement. Rasta hearts know this. Judging someones relationship based on the woman bein white and the King being black is against Jah’s will, any judgement at all is vanity on the part of the person who is doin the judging, vain cause they think they are on the same level as Jah Hself, The only One perfect, and whole in spirit to be able to judge.
Anyone who spirit is drawn to Rastafari, no matter what your colour or background, dont let judging people stop you from followin the path cause the words of a fool are not beneficial to the wise.
Blessing to the people who love to judge, with the help of the Father, you will be able to start lookin on people with compassion and love.
Bless
I’ve been in a relationship with a Rasta man for 7 years. We have no kids – he has kids with other women and still sleeps with them and thinks its ok. Although its up to me to deal with him or not, its hard when you love a person. Do all Rasta men have multiple relationships and say they love you? Any insight from women in similar relationships or a Rasta man with a comment would be greatly appreciated. Blessed.
blessed,lets chrome Babylon sin rastalove
RASTALOVE GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND FIND SOMEONE JUST FOR YOURSELF AND NOT THE WORLD, SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT SHARING LOVE WITH A MAN THAT FIND HIMSELF ALL OVER THE PLACE IS NOT PURE, YOU JUST GOTTA LET IT GO AND TRUST ME YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU WERE SUCH A FOOL AND WHAT WAS I THINKING! I WAS THERE ONCE AND WONT ALLOW MYSELF TO GET THERE AGAIN. TRY TO FIND YOURSELF AND YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU DESERVE MORE THEN THIS. TEACH HIM HOW TO RESPECT WOMEN BECAUSE THE OTHERS ARE THE ONCE GIVEING THE WRONG IMPRESION ABOUT WOMEN, KNOWING THAT HE IS WITH YOU AND STILL FUCK HIM. MEN ALWAYS THINK WITH THEIR DICKS AND NOT THEIR BRAINS OR HEART NO MATTER WHAT COLOR OR RACE HE IS, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND WHEN YOU FIND A REAL MAN YOU HANG ON TO HIM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT TOO MANY OUT THERE. TINA
I am a white woman with a black rasta man and we have a beautiful baby boy together. He is my one and only and I am his. We are devoted to each other through our love for one another and the proof of that is our son. Let us be blessed with more children for ours is a home of pure love. Jah love, respect.
^^Let there be no more speeches about black and whites for no such colouration of human skin exist. We are all human beings if you only can learn. Those coded attributions of superiority and inferiority you employ only show up your mind as too young and confused or even worse. It dont matter to InI the Rastaman you may love..it matter to InI that ye know Rastalivity and Jahlove. When ye realize Rastalivity and Jahlove then you will know that “white” and “blacks” are coded spell of the devil.

ONE LOVE TO ALL THE RIGHTEOUS ONES
Marriage is a union between two people and it’s very important because it’s the beginning of a life time journey.
Here we are talking about it like it’s some regular thing even likkle youths can do…
Being a RASTA SYMPATHIZER, I believe strongly in their undertakings…
WHITE, BLACK, YELLOW, BROWN…it doesn’t matter…We all should STAND AS ONE…
Like said above, RASTALIVITY IS UNITY….
And the world sees RASTA as a “LAZY MAN COMPLAINTS” to stay away from the Worlds technology and partisipations in life…
I forbid that!!!
RASTA STANDS ALONE!!!
PEOPLE STAND UNIFIED!!!
ONE LOVE!!!
EMPRESS JUD-AYE!!!
rastafaria stil!
i am married too a rasta man and we been married for more then 12 yrs it been heavenly .. He very respectable and does not have multiple women…. but the bases of the relationship should be that he really loves you,,, my man says he always wanted a latina women so i guess it depend on the individual… If he loves you he will be with you and only you…. He so lovable and so true……
so the laws of being married are the same as any other but you still need to feel the right of purity?
is that the point your trying to prove?
I met a very beautiful rasta man 1 month ago and he said he wanted to marry me right away.. We met 3 times in the past month and I fell in love with him, however pulled back because I am afraid they are all polygamous. He called me on the phone a few times but I didn’t want to see him anymore. I must say I now regret it, he is so beautiful!
