Many individual Rastas are only loosely affiliated with these Mansions, or not at all, in keeping with the principle of freedom of conscience, a general distrust of institutionalism shared by many, and the teachings of Haile Selassie I as Emperor that "faith is private" and a direct relationship requiring no intermediary.[original research?] Beliefs differ between the mansions, with varying views on the Bible, dreadlocks, diet, and ganja.[1]
