H.S. själv var ett riktigt praktsvin till diktator och kommenterade alldrig rastafarI-rörelsen trots att han gjorde ett statsbesök på Jamaica. Lite konstigt av messias himself att inte kommentera de enda rättrogna. Enligt uppgift ska det också
Dr. M. B. Douglas, a delegate to Ethiopia in the mission of 1961, offered the writer this interesting report. On the mission's arrival in Addis Ababa, the delegates were met by Abuna, Archbishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and upon learning that the cult worshipped the Emperor as God, advised them not to make this known to the King because such information would cause him great displeasure. He informed them that the Emperor was a devout Christian and a regular worshipper at the cathedral.
Dr. Douglas recalled that this in no way discouraged the Rastafarians; to the contrary, it only strengthened their belief. Their reply to the Abuna was,
"If he does not believe he is god, we know that he is god;" they informed the Abuna that
the King would never display his divinity for "he that humbleth himself shall be exalted, and he that exalteth himself shall be abased." "The Rastafarians left Ethiopia," observed Dr. Douglas, "more convinced than ever, that Haile Selassie is God."
