Ras Sam Brown – Treatise on the Rastafari Movement

Excerpt:

“Ever since Man has found himself the master of planet Earth, from primitive man til this time, he has always sectionally upheld some form of deification to a higher concept; every race of man has got their own form of worship unlike and peculiar to each other race of tribe.

Gods are the creation of the inner consciousness of nations to deification of an individual. Elders and parents beget progenies who in turn carry on the perpetuation of such culture.”
