In Ethiopia, the Words Haile Sellassie means Power of the Trinity, and that is what I was taught as a young man pursuing knowledge about Ethiopia and my people, these are things which I learned from my Elders when I was in their class rooms of reasoning from place to place,and from time to time, as a young student of humble-standing.
There were, and still are many children in Ethiopia, who is given the name Haile Sellassie, because of the meaning of the words, hoping that by growing up with such a blessed name, they may become great people in the society, just like in the westeren world, parents like to give their children names like, Moses, Joseph, Daniel, Jerimiah, Joshua, Ester, Peter, James, Miriam and so many other names which can be found in the bible as great and goodly people.
When Tafari was born in the year 1892, he was given the name Tafari, but when he was baptized, the name which he was given when he was baptized was Haile Sellassie, but the regular name which he used while growing up, was Tafari, the name Haile Sellassie was re-introduced, when he was crowned as King of Kings and Emperor of Ethiopia, in the year 1930.
Now, I would like you to follow me clearly, as a result of internal growth, and mental Iyavation, today when I speak or think of Haile Sellassie, I am not thinking of any individual who wsa given that name in the land of Ethiopia, past, present or future, my thinking is that the words mean power of the Trinity, and that the power of the Trinity is Heat Air and Water, words sounds and power, which is flowing everywhere, upon which all living Creatures, upon the face of this earth, have to depend, for life and survival,
as we live from day to day.
This may sound annoying to you, and many other Rastafari people, but this is my internal revelation, which was reveal to me, so, if you find any wisefulness inside of it, then you can share it with others, other wise, you can just leave it alone, until the Great Sunlight of reality, Shines inside of you, as well as others.
Take the best cre of yourself and your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE.
