Greetinz Humble One,
Again, I can only speak of personal experience.
"But do you think that, outside of the Rastafari culture, NO ONE on this earth can have the same understandings of spirituality ie natural mystics, the same Ital levity, love? A rare thing to come by... yes."
I think that many come close. Have aspects of. But the whole package, for me, ONLY comes through RasTafari. I have met strong Muslim brothas (Nation of Islam), and wonderful warriors within the Afrocentric community (Kemet societies, black panthers, etc) and all are to be applauded and celebrated... some even are vegetarian, and some live close to InI livity, but NONE are the "complete package", so to speak. That "natural mystic" that has been mentioned earlier, along with all the other attributes, are ONLY found among Rasta.
That being said, I must add a little something here. I have also met many "rastaFAKEians", or some that bible bash worse then western Christians. Many who have not studied and remain STUCK in King James, or have a separatist mentality (this Rasta house is the "true" house, versus that house, etc) Some see Kemet from "behind blue eyes" and consider it "pagan". Alas, some Rastas, though dressed up in Red, Gold and Green, continue to see the world from behind blue eyes.
Be you "Rasta" or not, doesn't vibe well for me.
