About | coct-ras-tafari

In my search for eternal peace, understanding, and a spiritual remedy for the sorrow that weighed heavy on my heart from the death of my only brother, I was always an adherent of “The Way”(Teachings of Jesus) throughout my search for peace. These three teachings have always been a foundation for my life and ministry; Love your Creator, Love your Neighbor, Love your Self. After I left the religion of my youth (LDS/Mormons) I looked to the Divine for answers. I found Native American and Celtic spirituality. I found a connection to the Divine through entheogenic plants, drumming, and mindfulness meditation.

In my pursuit, I found Ras Tafari and the Rastafarians, who used cannabis as a sacrament to connect with the Divine for guidance and enlightenment on personal, family, spiritual, and social issues. Most believe that Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I (Ras Tafari Makonnen) is the second coming of Jesus Christ or an incarnation of according to Revelations. He was/is a Christ archetype. I believe that he was an exemplary adherent of Jesus. His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I was the 225th Emperor in succession from King Solomon. This story is written in one of the Ethiopian cannons Kebra Nagast (The Glory of Kings). Ethiopia has been a “Christian” nation for nearly 2000 years starting with the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). The more I studied the more it became obvious that Ethiopia had a clearer picture and understanding of The Way of Jesus. Emperor Haile Selassie I was an adherent of the teachings of Jesus and The Way. His teaching and utterances are words of wisdom. Having been a foreign missionary and been in seminary in my previous religion it made sense to become an ordained minister. I became an ordained reverend to minister The Way to others.

My DNA has since revealed that I am a descendant of the tribe of Levi and the Tribe of Judah

Utterances of His Imperial Majesty

Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the most high.

Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love, and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight, and focused attention.

Knowledge paves the way to Love, and Love in its turn fosters understanding and leads one along the path of great common achievements.

That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.

His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie
