My parents
Dear Adam,
This is Esther, Anatoly's wife. I don't know if you are aware but our web
pages does have a family tree, one that is strictly the offspring of
Emperor Haile-Sellassie. (p. 8) However, to answer your question about where
I am in this web of names, I am the daughter of the late Princess Edjigayehu
who was the first born of HIH Asfa-Wossen ( who passed away in early 1997.
My father is Dejazmach Fikre-Sellassie who has also passed away.
I am most interested in the tree you are working on. Could you forward that
via e-mail?
Among other places we did live in Virginia in mid-late 80's. We moved up
here for career purposes. There is quite a bit on our travels on the web
page. Thank you for your interest and please keep in touch.
Sincerely, Esther Sellassie Antohin

Greetings;
I would ask you to plead with me because I have alot of questions to ask
you,and if some questions hurt you I am very sorry about that as it was
not my aim, but as you are HIS grandchild you are the one I think you
will have much answers to much unanswered questions I have.
As a grandchild of His Imperial Majesty how do you feel when your
GRANDFATHER is said to be The Almighty God, do you believe this? As the
grandchild did you ever hear of the things that HIM did that may cause
you to associate HIM with the Mighty God? Could you please explain to me
of HIS last days? Did HIM die? If he died, as the member of the family,
were you shown the corpse?
My Sister, I have many questions and I am sure that I will remember some
of the questions I have after I have sent this mail to you. But please,
I am sure the above questions give you light as to how much I would like
to know about HIM, so when you are answering me I wuld ask you to give
me some more knowledge that is relevant to the ones I asked.
One more question, I am sure you read the Bible and hear the Scriptures
that many people quote from the Bible that prophesised about HIM, do you
associate HIM with these Scriptures? How was HIM personally as compared
to other people? Did HIM show any Super Features than MAN?
Bear with me, Sister, I am a Youth who needs light and knowledge.
I am hoping to hear from you soon.
Thank You very much

He was a religious man and an Orthodox Christian. He didn't think of himself as god. He was a king. I post another grafment from the book HIM my husband works on --"The Triple Task of Adam" -- to illustrate the Orthodox understanding of what man's qualities and abilities are. Before we arrive to our divine horizon, we must fulfill our human potentials. The theological debates between Orthodox and Catholic understand of nature of Christ have several centuries long history -- we should remember that this issue is about our HUMAN nature. I believe that Rastafarians, with their notion that we live in the world after the End, brought a new dimension into this debate where Human and Divine differ and where the two are the same. It was a complicated concept before and it's not less mystirious one today.
