"Ras Tafari, is Emperor Haile Selassie I, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God, The True Light of this World, after whom we are named.
It is an ancient spiritual way of Life (Livity), based on Peace, Love, Purity, Truth and Justice, the same qualities which are embodied in the Personage and Embodiment of Emperor Haile Selassie I. It is not a cult or –ism. It is non-religious, non violent, non-political and non –affiliated.
Ras Tafari is the revealed Livity from our great timeless Afrikan tradition, giving relevant guidance for today and the future. It is that which we live and express through our rich culture.
Ras Tafari gives us pride and strength to persevere and overcome the trials and tribulations of life without resorting to wickedness and injustice. We proclaim Emperor Haile Selassie I as God incarnate. Through HIM we gain our path to justice, redemption, salvation and prosperity."
