WHAT IS RASTAFARI? 

I'm a fresh immigrant from East Europe to the U.S. The other day I was working the same shift with a guy that works as a driver for the same company I work for. He's Jamaican... the nicest guy you can ever meet. And while he was playing some Reggae music in his car and I asked him if he could suggest me some cool Reggae artists other than Bob Marley. Before you know, the whole conversation shifted about the Rastafari movement and their beliefs, about Haile Selassie, and why Bob Marley is so iconic in Jamaica. I didn't know much about the topic, other than what is public knowledge I was pretty ignorant the culture. But my co-worker painted a broad insider's picture of it to me. Pretty fascinating, I wanna know more about it!

Self governance through divine inspiration and holy commitment to oneself. Thank you Ras

I'm a mixed kid born in Reno, Nevada lived there since i was 13 been through so many stuff had no father he left when i wasn't even bore my mom drinking been hit and threatened at by her. Been giving my mom a lot of stress and a lot to deal with and making my sister get scared whenever me and my mom argue i hate it. As a kid when i was 12 my cousin Ronnie passed I was so hurt because i loved him and looked up to him. After he passed i had hate and anger i didn't care about what people thought about me or what they wanted to know about me. Started to sell marijuana a lot and drank a lot as a kid because around that time i already lost 4 friends and I didn't care. Now i'm 16 about to turn 17 in October been listening to Bob Marley my whole life that's how i got my name Zion also from Lauren hill and the meaning of Zion. When I was listening to Bob Marley the song Selassie is the chapel it got me to me tears i want to learn more about the Rastafarian movement because i believe in it and it gives me love and happiness. I listen to reggae music and praying to Jah every night and morning and every time before i smoke ganja i don't drink alcohol no more when i get done with my GED i want to go to barber school and be a barber and make kids and men also women happy i give them a cut or locs also braiding i want to see that because that makes me happy and I want to be a Rasta and i want to learn more about it and be a Rasta because i believe in Haile Selassie and the African movement and i want to be at peace and love one another Jah king of kings his imperial majesty Jah Rastafari

This is the beauty of Rastafari. I and I all say H.I.M is the nucleus of our spiritually and philosophy. I don't agree that he is Christ incarnate but I still connect with the I through the acknowledgement of the divinity and that is the inity of the movement. One love. Blessings!

Man this was powerful. Just watched the new Bob Marley movie and got curious about the Rastafarian way of life. This definitely enlightened me 🙌🏾

Blessings Rasta!! Jamaica was just going through the storm. And God spear the Jamaican Island. There's people who saw and prayed for the land of Jamaica. I'm just a listener. And when I come across something I share it. I believe what what was share with me, is to share with you. You a righteous man. I don't live in Jamaica, you might live there, and people listen to you. Call your people to repentance. So that Jamaica won't have another Storm there. God is upset right now. We living in a time of Issachar. Who am I? I'm just a messager. I see all, I hear all. I strive to let people see what's going on, but if they choose not to see then the people can't fix it. People running out of time. So I'm sharing this with you so that you can be on time helping to save your people.

give thanks for your perspective. I have watched several of your video and all have been quiet insightful. Continue to keep up the good work as it will be an inspiration to ones and ones like me and others

This is really so beautiful

This really helped me realise my focus I want to embrace Rasta so I must embrace myself

Blessings Brethren

Bless Brethren. Bless up! We the true!

Thank you so much for you wise words and knowledge. I know it will help me in my own escape from Babylon. One love one truth. I believe with ally heart we are all brothers and sisters. There's one place known as the birth place of life all life mother Africa. One love many blessings I am Rasta in my own balance and place in nature always forever growing love you brother.

Thank you so much for educating me on the Rastafarian ways. I am beginning to loc my hair for spiritual reasons and Love is something I can do and do do all the time. I just need to not argue with my Man and I need to stop cursing. Not eating meat will be easy for me. So thank you...

I am a Puerto Rican of primarily African descent, and when my friend who visited Puerto Rico from Jamaica told me about the religion of Rastafari, i became instantly interested.

....love you....sensi jahjah..shua.....❤️💛💚💙💜🖤

I would love to know more about the history of the people of the earth. I was (like almost everyone here in Canada) raised to have a very different perspective on the things you speak of. That or we simply were not informed of interconnectivity of it all, but it always felt wrong to me to think of humans as separate from one another. Divided by chosen (or born into) belief systems, faiths and teachings rewritten by man for countless generations. Your words have fortified the truths I have felt, and re-sparked my desire to seek community. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I'm a black man in America and I have always had a very strong connection to Africa and the way of the Rasta. I want to be a rasta but I don't know the way.

I hope to obtain more knowledge of the spiritual connection and beliefs of the rastafari I look forward to more videos my brother

Ya mon, Respect!

I AM BLESS EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY

may god bless u your message came in the time of my tunrnng and self finding many are fighting me down in my self finding includig family members but ill keep fighting all hail H.I.M

Keep up the good work!

The one God is working to bring the family together. Having eyes and ears and honoring him in the moment brings truth. Truth in God makes us free. The world will crush us, but God is the avenue of truth and salvation into the next dimention. IMO.

One love brother. Ase

wow! thank you!

One love!! 💚💛❤

AMAZING TRUE RASTAFARI 🇯🇲👑✨❤️🖤🤎💚 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL JEROME,

I AM BLESS IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE
