Very true indeed, there was always important and inspiring information, coming out of Mama Africa in the early days, and all of this information were great seeds of knowledge which continued to germinate, and bring forth fruits in the minds of African people in the African dispora, and these are the same Africans who were nourished to become Rastafari people, so you are right Rastafari conception originated in Africa, for that is where the word Ras, or Ras Tafari orinated. There are and was so many Patriots who have the Noble Title of RAS.

It is also very self decieving, for a person to think that they have to depend on any book, to be able to learn about Creation, Mother Nature, Father Time, or this great universe where we presently exist.

Life is our only and greatest teacher and as we live, we will continue to learn, how the social and cultural wheels will turn, or how the fire will burn. There is nothing wrong with reading any book, but why worship a book that you have to read, that you have to buy, that you have to take around, that you have to open, since it cannot do none of the above on it's own.

Books can never write themselves, they are always written by people, therefore people have the right to read and contradict any book if it is deceptive or if parts of it is deceptive. A book is generally made from dead pieces of paper, pen and ink and printing machines, and all of these things are made by people.

Therefore people have the right to analyze and critisize any book, that have deceptive sentences, verses, paragraphs, chapters or lines.

The work of Rastafari people is to work to make life better for African people everywhere, not only THOSE OF US WHO CONSIDER OURSELVES TO BE RASTAFARI PEOPLE. There must be no discrimination among African people Africans are Africans whether you are Rastafari people or not.
Let struggle for African Liberation be one struggle. AFRICA FOR AFRICANS TGHOSE AT HOME AND THOSE ABROAD. NO DISCRIMINATION
Again I send many oceans of blesasings and self determination .
ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART
