Ifá THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

Aboru Aboye Abosese,

Please ponder, meditate upon, think about, enjoy, assimilate and act upon the following teachings of Ifa.

1)Otura Rera (Otua ‘Gunda)

Insincerity does not pay

Wickedness is bad

If the truthful is betraying, he faces lots of trouble cast divination for Sagbagiriyan who will be installed as the leader of the truthful

Be truthful and sincere

The gods reward the truthful

2)Ejiogbe

The (good) way God created me, according to that good way I am behaving. I am doing well (practicing what is good, beneficial and needful), I don’t practice evil and I don’t practice deception and lying so that I won’t die a wretched man, because the business we engage in the morning extends to night time cast Ifa for the truthful and the wicked. Only the truthful triumph.

3)Ogbe Yonu

Excessive angers reveals their upbringing. He who ignores and disregards mediation easily exposes himself. ‘You have come again with your bad attitude” will give one a bad name and reputation…Truly we have installed the patient, humble and wise Nini as King. It is the misbehavior of Oka that ruined his career. We have installed the truthful, patient and kind Nini as King. The misbehavior of Ere is what ruined his life. We have truly installed the calm, respectful and virtuous Nini as King. The misbehavior of Sebe is what ruined his future. Truly we have installed Nini as King.

4)Ose Ofun

If the destiny is unfavorable, it may be lacking wisdom

Water is abundant in the Ocean, the Ocean the King of the Sea

Water is available in the Lagoon, the Lagoon is second in command

There is wisdom in Akoda, Akoda who teaches the world Ifa science

There is intelligence in Aseda, Aseda who teaches the science of the wise and holy elders

There is wisdom in Orunmila, the stabilizer, rectifier and reformer of the world. Orunmila is he who protects the child’s head from breaking, he is the one who corrects bad destiny (bad course of life and living) cast divination for incapable (the person who has no good character) who is alway crying (complaining) of having a bad destiny (life).

Ifa says, if incapable of no good character, learns Ifa (with the purpose of applying it and correcting their life), Ifa assures they will have the last laugh (victory, triumph and success).

5)Idin Iwori

If we have wisdom but fail to apply it, we become ignorant. If we have strength and we fail to utilize it, we become lazy, this is the message of Ifa for people who know wise people and have access to them but do not follow their example and guidance but choose to make friends with backward people. Ifa cautions them, if you do not associate with good people, and establish friendships with them (to learn from them and follow their example) then your life will be ruined.

ODU IFA BABA EJIOGBE

Concise essential meaning of Ejiogbe: In cosmogenic terms, Ejiogbe is the primary impulse of expansion, evolution and ascension. Ejiogbe represents the birth of life, it opens the path to knowledge with an objective language, it evokes the light which illuminates the physical and spiritual universe. It is the power of pure thought. Ejiogbe is the unlimited fountain of wisdom that can carry the human spirit above the difficulties of life. In Ejiogbe the power of the spoken words attains its greatest climax.

Refreshing and life giving teachings (sayings) of Ifa to be pondered, internalized and acted upon.

‘Let no palm oil stain your white garments.’

‘Loving-kindness descended from the sky and converted into honey to sweeten my lips.’

‘I honor my ancestors because I am their continuity.’

‘The metal lead does not corrupt and bronze does not oxidize; just like Ikin Ifa never lies.’

‘Be honest and success will pursue you. Be honest and success will always accompany you until the end of your days.’

‘The loyal person or person of fidelity will secure a stable and lofty position but the unreliable and insecure (zig zagging) person will always lose what could have been stable and lofty.’

‘Gratitude is the law of my life. The person who eats the lentils would care for the person who harvested them.’

‘If you listen to and obey your inner voice, intelligence and conscience (ori inu) you will surely persevere and attain success and satisfaction. If you listen to and obey your inner voice, intelligence and conscience (ori inu) your life will you prolong (with added sound health of mind and body).’

‘Do not become discouraged. Do not dishearten Ifa. There is a good future for you. You have hope.’

‘The search and acquisition of money in a honest way will require much patience.’

‘Valor or courage does not frighten, it comforts (and empowers). The wise man will find the valor or courage to confront and defeat fear (anxiety and worry.)

‘The Truth and the Lie argued. The Truth with dignity, victoriously elevated its head in permanent triumph before the ephemeral Lie.’ (The lie and deliberate liars will alway cave in on itself and be destroyed. Lies and liars have no substance and no abiding place in the Realm of Truth.)

‘The person who (pridefully) (vainly) desires to be superior and different from others (put others down or see them as inferior) will soon become consumed by arrogance.’

‘I chosen (intelligently decided) to walk with care, caution and attention. This made of me a prudent person.’

‘An intelligent person doesn’t delay his journey to stop at the desert to count the grains of sand. The wise venerate wisdom like the skunk practices it’s hunting skill.’ (The wise person doesn’t set unrealistic and unattainable goals for himself, but with great care, understanding and sound planning makes or sets practical, methodical and joy giving attainable, essential, beneficial and needful objectives.)

‘The greedy man is never satisfied and knows no contentment or peace. The greedy man doesn’t enjoy what he had because he is always focused and just adding and amassing more unneeded things to his store of possessions. In his greed and obsession to amass more and more he loses true prosperity.’

‘What you have in abundance do not horde, but share it with those in need. Is the the peculiar virtue of the snail to be able to walk without arms or legs. (The person who shares and gives what he has in abundance with those in need will experience the miracle of not lacking any good thing and will alway end of having more than what he had before he began to share with others his surplus of goods, money, wisdom, encouragement etc. It is a miracle that without arms or legs a snail can ‘walk’. It always has and finds what it needs to survive without fretting or worrying.’

May the ase, ire and presence of Ela Omo Osin Asiwaju illuminate you and carry these reliable life giving divine truths into your heart. Ase.

THE LANGUAGE OF GOD

Aboru Aboye

A soul that speaks the language of God is a soul that sees the glory of God and adds values to lives and to other souls in the cosmos.

Let the language be your language when you wake up, when you are in the toilet, when you are talking to family friends and relatives, when you are alone, and whatever you are doing, and when anger wants to come into your soul, just ordinary offering of simple prayer that ” I am blessed”.

Several times, induce and enlighten the soul to see the light of God rather than the fight from yourself and from other. May God bless you and illuminates your lives, and may be connected constantly to the energies of divinities.

All is well. Your positive changes is my happiness, the more people change for the best, the more blessing from God and his numerous blessing for me, for those who changed and for the universe , never relent to speak the language of God, which is the language of prayer “iwure “.

It is the only language divine realm knows and the only language God knows, when we speak the language everyday, we will see the glory of God and the support of his divinities in our lives and our generation yet unborn.

You are a blessed man, and may God continue to illuminate you, and all shall be well with you as long as there is an appearance of the sun, thank you very so much. I want you to have a strong faith, because your time of success has come. Claim your success, prosperity and blessing , and all shall be well with you as long as there is an appearance of the sun. Ase

I want you to fast, pray, guild the entrance of your mind, be positive and have a self control on what you say, talk, do, think ,eat and your everyday action to stick to the power of OLODUMARE , and all is well.

HOMOSEXUALITY

In reality, IFA would not condemn you on the basis of sexual orientation, colour and race. If Ifa is a religion of acceptance and real love, IFA will love you independent of your sexual stands or sexual orientation.

Indeed, in Yoruba tradition, the word homosexual has no meaning, since, it is not part of the culture and customs. People in the traditional African setting, most especially in Yoruba culture, they see homosexuality as a strange phenomenon and sexual disorientation of the western culture to tamper with human procreation. You must know that Yoruba culture is primitive, and whatever we call primitive would not change, but assume the old conception of things.

But if we want to go by what the odu Obara Meji says, in the seventh vibration or energy of OLODUMARE out which odu is deduced or withdrawn, then Obara Meji speaks of duality, which can means, a man or woman or deities possessing two form of lives, the masculine and the feminine parts, namely, the same man or woman can exhibit both masculine and feminine parts without altering the glory of GOD. All divinities are neither female nor male, because sex or sex division are only in the ethereal form of life that has no justification in the spiritual realm and divine glory.

What really matters in life and in IFA is Iwa, the total sum of your good character, that distinguishes you from mere mortal man which out spiritual and divine power, character is life, and life is spiritual and every life is the spirit its possesses, and the character he or she assumes on getting to ethereal level of life, hence improve your character , and your life will improve and your spirit will be elevated.

Life or spirit is not about sex, but a good life can be achieved on getting to the physical state of existence through good character, and not through sexual classification or orientation.

Duality of life occurs in the physical state, while unity of all things exists in the spiritual level and perfect love are the characteristics of divine realm. Whenever there is divine love, which is the foundation of good character, no one really looks at the sexual identification or orientation.

To be divine is to assume divine characteristics which is founded and based on perfect love , while to be spiritual is to unify yourself to the work of spirit, which is the work of faith, devotion, belief and dedication , improvement and understanding , knowledge and energy.

While the physical level tends to seek for physical desire, and every desire has its own destructive elements that generate extensive pains, if you belief that whatever you are doing do not impair the life of others, then, stick to it and have a perfect love for your neighbour, because it is whatever you do to your neighbour that counts in life and such attitude will give you credit on a spiritual level of existence , and earn you a good mark on divine plain.

Your orientation depicts your understanding of how spiritual and divine energy operates and works in the cosmos or nature. You are what you think you can do and do better to improve the life of others, not your sexual orientation or sexual desire that care less about the physical suffering of the people or meeting the spiritual consciousness of the people or their divine level. Your sexual orientation does not free you from being the part of spiritual community, or debars you from the glory of GOD.
