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

  1. I am an american women and I have to hand it to the rasta men they have gave the american women a bad taste in the mouth. we believe men should have one women not one for everyday of tne week!! being a spiritually evovled women I know Jah ment for that to be true!! solomon & David suffered for they’re weakness for women so I wouldn’t want to be too much like them!!! I hear you men say your are like solomon &david if this is true weak minded lustfull whoremongers were what they were!!!who killed other men to get thier women?? how is that a good example to follow! time to respect and honor women!!!

    1. greetings sistah,i think that alot of women have forgotten that men are genetically created to procreate.Jah has blessed many of our fore fathers and kings to have many wives.Dont you know that if it wernt for them to have many wifes alot of us wont be here today.I find that if a bretheren want to have many wifes1 he must be financially capable to maintain a source of income.2live in his own gates and 3 inform any daughter that he is seeking to want as his queen.Im so tired of women saying these things.This is from beginning of time.Christ said it is best that a man have one women as the same for the women.Only to inform people that it can ruin your life,but he did not say with love and devotion from the most high and wealth it can be achieved.Every situation has a answer.

    2. Though im not a rasta, i was born in the culture. They do cheat and lie. I would nevet date a rastaman if he was the last man on earth. You would think in this day and age they would group up and stop living to cheat. I dont know how much they can actually love. My father is a rasta and instead of focusing on raising his children and his family, he slept with everyone he could fine. DISGUSTING

      1. you are right, I was going with this so called rasta, who was my own age 53, and we were on and off for six months and I loved him, one day I looked him up on facebook and he had six young girl friends, and his favourite like was ,older man younger woman date site, I could hardly believe my eyes, then the last time he went home I never heard another word from him, he probably just used me until a young one popped up for him on facebook, which must of happened, I felt used and abused, it taking a long time to get over him as I adored him.but what a twat he turned out to be.

    1. Sounds like you are a bitter whore..Rasta men are for woman of peace we are all gods children and ignorance…
      Is something that was taught two us
      that we believe that we are different..
      I prey for you my sister because I too is an American sister that love my rastas brother!!

    2. U sound like a bitter “whore” Rasta men are for women of peace…and your words are not of that!!! We are all Jah children and your comment was an ignorant one…I’m American rasta women from the inception and we stand for love and peace…your words are not of peace but words of a bitter woman… So my sister I say to you…one love and be blessed!!
