King Jam you say, "haile selassie didnt have long hair. would you say you are more spiritual then him? because your hair is long"
In His youth one can see that Selassie had long hair and in His last days in the palace Selassie's hair was growing long and He even had some locks. HIM also kept a beard throughout His years and He never had very short hair.
That being said; there are things His Majesty does that RastafarI people don't do, as there are things that His Majesty does not do that RastafarI people do.
Your question is a silly one to me. I sighted how long hair and locks can be used as a spiritual tool. I never said that having long hair makes one more spiritual. Also, the quote you keep posting from Selassie about religion and spirituality may not have even been spoken by HIM. There is not a sighted speech or writing that the quote came from (post the speech if I am wrong)
People keep trying to change RastafarI, saying you don't have to do this or that to be a Rasta, or it's okay to do this or that and still be a Rasta. How much you want to come and change about RastafarI? People want the title without doing the works, they want to be identified with the movement, yet they don't want the livity that comes with the trod.
When someone asks these kind of questions (do I have to dread to be rasta?) what I hear them asking is "how much can I not do, how much can I take away from RastafarI and still be CONsidered a rasta?"
So I wonder, why do they even want to call themselves Rasta?
JAH Knows
