AFTER EXAMINE THE MEANING OF THE NAME OF OBATALA OSEREMAGBO, IT IS ALSO PERTINENT TO KNOW THE POSITION OF OBATALA BY OLODUMARE AT ALL LEVEL OF CREATION .
INDEED, OLODUMARE CHOSE OBATALA FROM HEAVEN (AJULE ORUN) TO LEAD THE CONTINGENT OF DIVINITIES (IRUNMOLES) TO THE PHYSICAL STATE OF LIFE KNOWN AS AYE AKAMARA. AYE AKAMARA ACCORDING TO ODU (THE VIBRATION OF OLODUMARE ) WAS FILLED WITH CONTRADICTING ENERGIES FIGHTING FOR DOMINATION OF SOUL, SPIRIT AND BODY. ACCORDING TO THE MYTH WHAT IS CALLED NEGATIVE VIBRATION AND POSITIVE VIBRATION CO -EXIST AND CONSTANTLY FIGHTING FOR POSITION OVER EVERY SOUL AND SPIRIT CREATED BY OLODUMARE AND THE RESULT WAS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BODY OR CAUSING GREAT HAVOC TO LIFE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. UNKNOWN TO ALL IRUNMOLE, THE PUNITIVE KNIGHT OF HEAVENLY DOOM (AJOGUN ORUN) NAMELY, DEATH, DISEASES, LOSS, DESTRUCTIONS, LAWSUIT, AND OTHER NEGATIVE VIBRATION HAD SECRETLY FOLLOWED THEM FROM HEAVEN. INDEED, OBATALA LED THE CONTINGENT, BUT FAILED TO OFFER NECESSARY SACRIFICES AND RITUALS TO COPE WITH THE CONTRADICTING FORCES IN THE PHYSICAL STATE OF LIFE ( AJULE AYE OR AYE AKAMARA). DURING THIS ADAPTATION, OBATALA RESOLVED INTO DRINKING OF NATURAL WINE FROM ETHER , THAT IS, DRINKING OF PALM WINE ( EMU OR OGURO) THE RESULTANT EFFECT WERE DEEP SLEEP AND SLUMBER AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT, ORO (ONE OF THE ANCESTRAL ENERGY IN CREATION ) SNATCHED IGBA IWA FROM OBATALA (IGBA IWA IS THE CALABASH OF LIFE AND IT IS USED TO REDEEM A SHATTERED DESTINY AND LIFE . IGBA IWA ENSURED DESTINY FULFILMENT .)
NOTE, PALM TREE, PALM NUTS AND PLAM WINE COME FROM ONE SOURCE, BUT THE SACRED TREE CALLED OPE HAS A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCES AND DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY WITHIN, JUST AS LIFE HAVE BOTH THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE CALLED AJOGUN ORUN OR ALAJOGUN, AND CONSTRUCTIVE ENERGIES CALLED ODU OR OLODU OR, THE LEVEL OF THESE FORCES IN HUMAN LIFE DEPENDS ON IWA -( BEING OR CHARACTER) ORI ( MENTAL FORCE REPRESENTED BY PHYSICAL HEAD, AND DESTINY ) OR IPIN -FATE OR LOT ) OR IDILE( GENERATION FACTOR ), WHEN ONE USES FAITH AND WISDOM OF OLODUMARE AND HIS NUMEROUS DIVINITIES COUPLED WITH ODU, AND GOOD CHARACTER, THERE IS GREAT CHANCE TO REVERT ALL WHAT IS CALLED EVIL OR MISFORTUNE TO GOOD OR FORTUNE AND TO REVERT EVERY CONTRARY FORCES INTO POSITIVE FORCE. PALM TREE OR OPE, ACCORDING TO OBATALA IS SOURCE OF BLESSINGS AND CURSE THAT CHANGE THE CAUSE OF HISTORY , PALM TREE IS THE ONLY TREE THAT CAN NOT BE DESTROYED BY THUNDER-STORM OR LIGHTENING IN THE JUNGLE OF LIFE, GREAT SAGE LIKE IFA, JESUS AND OTHER SAVIOUR HAD TAPPED THIS ENERGY TO FULFIL THEIR DIVINE MISSION. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, THEN YOU CAN CONTACT ME .
FROM PALM TREE COME PALM NUTS, CALLED THE SEED OF LIFE OR THE SEED OF DESTINY. THESE SEEDS ARE CALLED IKIN, EVERY DEVOTEE OF IFA OR ORISA MUST HAVE THESE SACRED NUTS TO CONNECT THE PHYSICAL STATE TO SPIRITUAL AND DIVINE STATE, IT IS ASLSO USED TO RECTIFY ERROR ASSOCIATED WITH DESTINY AND TRUE BEING .
WHILE PALM WINE IS CALLED EMU, IT IS A NATURE WINE USED TO REACTIVATE THE POWER OF MANY DIVINITIES LIKE OGUN, OSSOSI, OLOGUNEDE ,
OBATALA DECIDED TO DRINK FROM THIS NATURAL WINE OF LIFE AND THIS LED TO THE LOSING OF HIS GLORY AND POWER TO JUNIOR DIVINITIES. HENCE THE FOLLOWERS AND INITIATES OF OBATALA SHOULD NOT ANY WAY DRINK ALCOHOL, OR SUGARY DRINKS (SUBSTANCE ) OR ANY OTHER DRINKS EXCEPT WATER, WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE ENERGY OF SUSTENANCE OF LIFE. EVERY THING ABOUT OBATALA ENTAILS CALMNESS, PEACE, SLOW PACE AND PATIENT. THESE ARE THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF OBATALA TO BLESS THE WORLD.
