Rastafari Has Changed My Life

It is a common thought that Rastafari is one of the oldest religions in the world. But in fact it is not a religion at all. Although the Rasta man uses the Old Testament as text and a moral base, Rastafari is not a religion at all.
Modern thinking has a hard time separating the two ways of thought. Most would assume that if you use the bible you must be a religion. This however contradicts the words of the most important figure of Rastafari. Haille Sellasi is the first or the equivalent of the Christ figure of Rasta. Sellasi in his own words condemns organised religion in any form. He promoted a one love society, the lyrics of the famous Bob Marley song war were actually the words of a speech given by his majesty.
He promoted an ancient African way of life that came from the Nyahbingi. An ancient tribe of woman that were drummers and called on the spirits of ancient ancestors.
Rastafari is a natural way of life that can be incorporated into almost any culture or place in the world. It is a clean and healthy lifestyle based on ital food. Ital is a vegetarian diet that is taken in part from the bible. This diet bans the eating of salt, pork, lobster, shellfish, eggs and fish over 12 inches long. Rasta also includes the vows of the Nazarene to not shave or trim the body hair. The head being the crown of the Rastafarian to be covered as a covenant also coming from the bible. Cleanliness is next too godliness in Rastafari and a clean mind and body are always upheld.
