update on Rasta how to become book: March 29th 2011

the more I writ this book, the more I realize there is to write. Please be patient with me. I want this book to be interesting and informative. Very informative, so this is taking longer than I thought. Patience is a virtue they say. My response is, who needs virtues. No just kidding.

Thanks for your patience everyone. including…

• How to Choose your Rasta name
• How do Rasta feel about Karma? Do they believe in it?
• Should you convert to Rastafari for your boyfriend or girlfriend?

and much more. For now please read a poem I wrote about what Rastafari truly is to me from the deepest part of my heart. Click here.

another update on the how to become a Rastafarian book

I wanted to share some excerpts from my book with you all while I am in the process  of writing it.

Here is an excerpt from the section entitled….”Your body is your temple….”

“…Rastas do not eat red meat, we do not smoke cigarettes, we do not drink alcohol, nor do we participate in promiscuous sexual activity. The body is your vehicle for the time that you are in physical form. We Rasta believe that the spirit is connected to the body, the body is connected to the mind, the mind is connected to the soul….we believe that to disrespect your body (temple) can lead to other forms of self disrespect, which may inhibit your entry way into Zion (Heaven)…”

Here is an excerpt from the section Entitled “How to dress like a real Rasta Woman”

“…Rasta women wear their hair in dreadlocks, you cannot call yourself a rasta and have loose hair, that is just not going to work. We keep our hair in locks, and we do not curl it or put color in it, only maybe to cover up grey hairs, but that’s it. We keep other chemicals to a minimum too…” Personally I use only one hair product in my hair, well 2 if you count shampoo…but that’s it.

Rastafari lives.

Today is July 26 I have added a new part to my rasta book

Rastafari Pledge: becoming a Rasta

I wrote this because I had a terrible argument with a so-called ”Rasta” friend last night who I believe is missing some very important parts of what it means to be Rastafari. He seemed angry with me the whole time we were talking but things just got out of hand when he started to talk down about Jamaica. I wrote this pledge so that people understand that to be rasta you must have

• self-love
• self-respect
• love and respect for other
• and most of all…
• self-control

Rastafari is not something you do because you want to be militant about black / African history and points of view. You do it because your heart is overflowing with God and love…I love you all thank you bye for now.
