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

  2. I’m truly in love with a Rastafari he is genuine in every way a true Rastafari ( I’m white ) he tells me his beliefs always and what is important to him ! That’s how it should be We are very tuned into each other !
    We have spoken everyday since I last saw him in Barbados ‘ I’m going back in a months time to make sure it really is real
    I can’t wait to see him … this time around I’m staying in his house in the country …

  3. Dear Queens & Kings,

    A real Rastafari King is faithful to his Queen and applies to love ONE single Queen. He is not cheap neither travels his body everywhere as He views his body as the TEMPLE of JAH. Once He finds His own soulmate and half, he attaches himself to her and stays focused on soul nurturing her and cherishing her as she is growing and is way too busy focused on seeking the truth to have time to play around with other females.

    1. Yes I understand a true Rasta man respects his woman .
      I’ve just come back after spending a further 3 weeks living with my Rasta man who opened up more than before about his beliefs ect; We have a very strong connection on a spiritual level amongst other things . He has referred to me as his queen!
      I’ve now brought a car over in Barbados ‘ which he will drive and I will always have when I go back and forth .
      However he said he doesn’t want commitment ? I’m guessing it’s marriage which I don’t want either .. Or just a relationship ?
      What do you think ?
      Am putting it out there )
      Will be going back next year .

  4. Hello Everyone,

    I REALLY NEED SOME HELP!! so my husband has been lead to take his path as a rastaman..! He’s been on this path for a few years now. We’ve been married for 6yrs but before we married he wasn’t a rasta man so he converted a few years after we was married. Im a non rasta, and I stick by my husband through everything. I’m feeling like I’m almost not so good for him anymore because I havent commited and its not in my heart to ever convert! We have two different beliefs and Im starting to feel a little uncomfortable because I feel a married couple should be as one. He’s vegan and I’m not. He’s so conscious and black power about things and I am to an extent. He’s just so Super Conscious and I feel that I’m left behind. I just know I don’t have the same person I married…I know people change for the better but its just something that I haven’t really adjusted too and I don’t know how to approch this matter to him.

  5. In’I is 21 and is seeking I spiritual Rasta livity in America not as easy as it may sound . Growing up in America most of the love you see coming up around you isn’t natural and seems to be just sticking it through type of RELATIONSHIP .In’I is saying this because. In’I and a middle school friend who is also currently seeking his spiritual Rasta faith has rekindle a bond that seems to be never lost . Our birthdays are a 1 year and 1 day apart Aug 21 -Aug 22 and every year around the times of our birthday we have with or without knowing reached out to each other. The last 2 years we spent either mine or his birthdays together and since Aug 22,2016 we have been inseparable It has been 7 months of our journey . And i say Journey because that is what it has been since the beginning. A journey that In’I has felt moments where this man has song to me and it seems as if our souls escaped from flesh and connected in the spiritual realm . InI Rasta voice is of a voice of an angle he sings to my soul with every tone . Now this is where its interesting because my mother loves him in his face . But behind his back she is secretly in my ear talking Rasta doesn’t have a job and Rasta doesn’t like the fancy wearing. She wants me to reconsider our near future planes to go to Jamaica to seek In’I Rasta Livity and to pursue our creative careers of musicians and love In’I Husband and In’I Wife(through Jah ). Mainly so is she don’t see it fit and doesn’t think we can live for our selves in Jamaica …… So asking as In’I sister or daughter how do i look at this? Do I look at this in a Spiritual way where this is my life and do what i see is the best livity for In’I spiritual way to seek a higher love with Jah and with In’I Rasta man? Or do In’I see it in I mother way , where i am to young making rational decisions based off love and today’s feelings and need to really be focus on Rich man , Career that makes lots of money and marriage? ..

    Peace,Love and Unity to all my brothers and sisters ONE LOVE , RastaWomanLovesJahman
