RASTAFARI LIVITY (adapted) by MM
Seven Things Rastas Do Not Do
Rastas are set apart from other people because they refuse to do certain things:
- Rastas do not serve Babylon’s System – Rastas do not bow to Babylon, the mindset that demands blind obedience. They do not put trust in the promises of Babylon. Rastas do not get caught up in political games. They value wisdom, it may seem like non-conformity but its liberation. Rastas do not let the Babylon system define them. They know that is a system built on the backs of the poor. They live outside of the Babylon system with strength, vision and trust in the Most High.
- Rastas do not worship man or money – Rasta work to live not live to work. They do not worship others; their allegiance is to Jah alone. They revere Haile Selassie but do not worship him. Rastas understand that money is a tool to purchase and pay bills but it can cause greed and anxiety. Wealth is measured in freedom, health and wisdom. The treasures of a Rasta are stored within the living spirit.
- Rastas do not eat the food of Babylon – Rastas do not eat genetically modified chemically treated processed foods. Foods filled with additives, preservatives and hormones- the food of greed. Instead, they eat from the land: fresh fruits, ground provisions, herbs and roots. They eat Ital because they live clean in mind, body and spirit. Rastas cook consciously and bless their food staying close to Jah.
- Rastas do not cut their locks – The dreadlocks of a Rasta are not a fashion statement. Dreadlocks are a living symbol of spiritual power, resistance to the system and ancestral pride. They let their hair grow freely. Their locks are roots connecting them to their ancestors, to Africa and the Lion of Judah. Rastas cutting their hair would mean cutting off a part of their identity and their energy and most of all their commitment to Jah.
- Rastas do not use ganga recreationally – Ganga is holy. True Rastas do not abuse ganga. They know that it is a healing plant used during prayer and reasoning used to uplift and to align. Ganga is used with discipline, righteousness and purpose. It is a healing plant used with reverence, purpose and intention.
- Rastas do not speak negatively words – Rastas know that words have power. True Rastas are very careful with how they speak. Rastas speak life, light and truth because what you chant you become. True Rastas do not engage in gossip, use insults and hateful words. They speak positively because Rastas know that the word is sacred.
- Rastas do not fear death – Rastas see death as a transition: a doorway from one phase of existence to another. Rastas know that the body is temporary and that life is more than the flesh. Rastas live fully but consciously. Their home is Zion a spiritual place of peace, righteousness and oneness with the Most High.

3 Things Rastas do not (want to) know:
1). Selassie practiced Christianity
2). He rejected any deification that Rastas ascribed to him
3). He had Curly hair and never “dreadlock” then
4). He is dead and remains so until the Second Coming of THE CONQUERING LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF Lords – the biblical Jesus Christ 🙏🏿
But rasta’s like the late king frank-i supported the land plunder in barbuda to give to PLH white people, and I will like to see Rasta stop this concentration on religion and get into technology and science to help their black brethren, the food they eat and all that is right yes, because now the health system recognize it, and marijuana should be a once a month or year end sacrament and not operating as the coke and crack users smoking it every seconds as drug addicts. The Rasta man is the only true man in this world, those that are westernized has subjected themselves to acronym like lbtq or battie boy demon ideology.
The Rasta man is the only man in this world who will beat his “empress” because the ganja smoking weaken his willy and turn it limp. Owing to this, he feels deeply insecure and mistakenly accuses his “empress” of knuckling him. Nothing tarl go so. His willy gone limp lp from the weed smoking
Bring intrigued, by the Pan African Movements, of the 19th Century to the present and immersing myself into several aspects, of chanting for the EQUAL RIGHTS, JUSTICE & FREEDOM, of HUEmanity, I’ve come to the conclusion that the movements which fall under the banner of Ras Tafar I, Haile Selassie I are as varied as the illusions, of the color spectrum and the flow/transitions from light to dark and vice-versa.
The RASTAFARIAN movements, religions, sects are simply another form of RELIGION and its INDOCTRINATIONS.
To this end, as is the case with ALL RELIGIONS which grow as trees from the RHIZOME ROOTS, of what the entity of energy termed HUEman (human) has planted (indoctrinated) into their thought process from eons ago.
There are PROS & CONS of any religious order. I, repeat, there are PROS & CONS of any religion.
Seguing into some of the fallacies and misconceptions presented by the author MM – assuming it’s Makeda Michael (spell check)…
A…many foods eaten by the RASTA are GENERALLY MODIFIED. For example carrots, potatoes, yams, tomatoes, peas, legumes, beets etc have ALL been genetically modified over time and are fertilised and nourished by the decaying carcasses of animals.
The use of honey versus sugar, brown sugar in particular is another misconception, as honey is produced from a process by bees which uses their secretions from collecting pollen to producing honey and the unsuspecting individual(s) will use flavoured and coloured corn syrup (gmo). As for the brown sugar, that too is a GMO product!
B…the concept of Babylon and not being a part of it, is the biggest fallacy and lie to by any RASTAFARI.
The clothes worn even if they’re hand sewn, the cloth & thread is a process of BABYLON.
99% of the musical instruments and the systems which highlights their versatility which have advanced the RASTAFARIAN MOVEMENT in the world of music are all products of BABYLON.
The venues and crowds which HAVE RASTAS performing as, missionaries, seers, prophets are all part and parcel, of the BABYLON SYSTEM.
C…education, learning, growth as touted by said, Ras Tafar I are all part of the system.
RASTA and its #classism and #racism too!
Individuals such as Robert Athlyi Rogers, the Anguillan who wrote the Holy Piby, writings and reasonings from a Pan African perspective and influenced many in the present day (1930’s to Present) RASTAFARI Movement is considered a fake simply because he was not born on the slave plantation of Jamaica.
Marcus Garvey highly revered in many quarters of the RASTAFARIAN MOVEMENT would not be and is not considered, a RASTA by many. (Ah Bald Head him be, dem say).
GAD, the founder of the Twelve Tribe organization, another branch of the RASTA TREE, never had locks and sold BULL FOOT SOUP to advance his ideology which many RASTAS gravitated to!
The BOBO SHANTI and the NYABINGHI Order branches of the same RASTA tree produces different fruits, again due to their INDOCTRINATIONS. An old Ancient Ras Sam B, who practiced NYABINGHI said, he could never trust a man with a wrapped head/turban because he could be a plant or Muslim.
Again, just like any RELIGION (they are from the same root) RASTAS exhibit many pros and cons just like ALL HUEMANS #who’re prostituted, by the MOLDERS of RELIGION.
