In these days and times it is most important for one to find his/her own path. This path should lead to steps in the positive direction. Rastafari is not a faith which can be converted to, in the sense that one can convert to Christianity. There is no one day in which someone wakes up and says, ' I think I'll become a Rastafarian.' Rastafari is way of life which has to be lived. The feeling of the spirit is like a wave traveling through the soul. A wave which only reveals itself stage after stage. Rastafari is a life, and as in life, you learn as you live.
No one person can say, 'This is exactly what the Rastafari doctrine is!', because the beauty of the faith is that it is seen through the eyes of the beholder, not through the eyes of a priest , vicar or pope. When one declares themselves to any faith, people will always ask them, 'How long have you been a ...........?' In the case of Rastafari, people don't realize how complex this question is. How long? When was the exact point of realizing my true life's foundation?... As you grow, you learn certain things and your eyes open just that little bit wider. Its the same thing with Rastafari. It's not a doctrine which people have to memorize and recite in mantra or a text on which will be tested. The test is how we live our life, with Rastafari in our hearts.
Rasta is a philosophy which reveals itself in stages; a feeling, a vibe, a science, a quote, an ideology, a picture, an outlook, a history, a life...Rastafari is about learning. We realize that life has many mysteries and Jah lets us know as much as we need to know at any given time. This is how we learn...It is this outlook to which Rastafari becomes more than a doctrine, religion or even faith; it is a way of life which, like life itself, continues to grow in mind, body and spirit...Rasta is not a hair doctrine or race doctrine, it is a thought process which is so pure it is open to be embraced by anyone and everyone, regardless of appearance.
PEACE
