I would like to address a matter that must come to the
awareness of the nationals of Trinidad and
Tobago.
The awareness is that Rastafari-an-ism
‘as a living ideology’, which is religious and political within its
totality.

Rastafari is an Amharic word that
means “Head Creator”.  Ras is the prefix title meaning “Head”,
therefore Tafari means “Creator”.  In Rastafari-an-ism,
Rastafari becomes the divine subject.  The sovereign King Rastafari
became Negus on 7th
October, 1928; Malachi chapter 1 v14, “…I am a great
King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is
dreadful among the heathen.”
Also, Isaiah chapter 43 v15, “I am the Lord, your Holy One, the
creator of Israel,
your King.”

On 2nd
November, 1930 “Transfiguration Day”, Rastafari transfigured from Rastafari
“Head Creator” to Haile Selassie the First “Might of the Trinity”.  Fulfilling Revelation chapter 19 v12,
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and
he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself.”  The name no man
knew, but himself was; the “Might of the Trinity” Haile Selassie the First.  Thus establishing the
historical data for his messiahship, the Royal
Messiah as King on 7th October, 1928
and the Priestly Messiah as Emperor (God) on 2nd November, 1930.

The ‘an’ as the people whom are the subordinate in
Rastafari-an-ism must give all their obedience to Rastafari, Haile Selassie the First.
Representation also is given to ‘an’ (people) in Rastafari-an-ism through his principles of practice, which
is his objective.

The religious phenomenon that has its doctrine based on the
divinity of Emperor Haile Selassie
the First, ‘Might of the Trinity’.  Haile Selassie the First is the Messiah, the embodiment of the
Priestly and the Royal messiahship of our epoch.

The political ideology whose theory is based on modern Ethiopiansim, Tafari Makonnen before he laid the base of government in Ethiopia
was appointed to the governorship of Harar and its
provinces.  On the 3rd of March, 1910 this authority
was bestowed onto him “Governorship”.

The ‘an’ in Rastafari-an-ism
is the people that will worship the deity ‘Might of the Trinity’,
through Haile Selassie the
First, within a temple (temple worship).
Giving the deity the attributes of gods compatible to
that of Budda of the Himalayas, Krishna of India,
the Dalai Lama of Tibet, Confucius of China, and Joshua the Christ of Canaan (Palestine).  Therefore, the ‘an’ is the
people that will attach themselves unto the vine (Rastafari
Haile Selassie the First)
through initiation (baptism) which is to be born again.  The statement of St.
John chapter 3 v3, “…Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see
the Kingdom of God.”  The Kingdom
of God shall come through his messiahship as identified in Numbers chapter 24 v17,
“…there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise
out of Israel…”.  Also
the statement of St. John chapter
15 v5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth
in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”  Rastafari Haile Selassie the First, becomes the center of existence to those whom will
fulfill his objective and become a part of his estate.

The ‘ism’ in Rastafari-an-ism
is the embodiment of political practices.
Principles that will govern the state (Constitutional Monarchy) based on
the theory of modernization through righteousness.  Rastafari laid
the base of government in Ethiopia
on the 27th September, 1916
to establish the platform for modern Ethiopianism.  Rastafari Haile Selassie the First, is the prototype also the protocol that embodied a
people with his objective, those whom will walk in his ways.

Rastafarians Haile Selassie I-ists and all people
that are in search of the God Head Haile Selassie the First ‘Might of the Trinity’, the
eternal.  They must come to the
realization that tradition and custom must be modified in order to ensure
continuity as a people.

Rastafari-an-ism must be
institutionalized and become an integral part of the community of Rastafarians Haile Selassie I-ists.  In the
near future, it will give representation and acts as a vanguard for themselves
and their families.  This ideology Rastafari-an-ism has religious and political base through
theocracy, the divine Kingship through Constitutional Monarchy.  It will also give ethics and etiquette
to the faithful; therefore, direction will be given with a sense of purpose and
destiny that will find its true meaning, to the young adherents of the faith.

May the ‘Might of the Trinity’, the creative force, the eternal, help us in fulfilling our sincere desire
to the awakening consciousness of the people to this philosophy.  Long live the dynasty of Emperor Haile Selassie the First through Zara Yacob.

JAH Rastafari Haile
Selassie the First Liveth.  Give thanks, One God for us all, with
liberty within our nation.

Blessed be JAH! Tafari-Rastafari-Haile
Selassie the First

Emperor Haile Selassie the First Liveth!
