Build the power within, and the energies around you will not only obey your commands but will perpetually become a support system for you and those around you.

Fear kills the development of the power within. Worry destroys the light and wisdom embedded in your being. Anxiety neutralizes the forces within your essence.

Remember the vibration called Otura Meji, which teaches that within a peaceful, harmonious, and serene mind, soul, and life reside some of the most potent and grandiose forces.

Train yourself.

Fill your mind with prayer.

Strengthen your inner being through discipline, spiritual wisdom, and conscious practice.

According to this spiritual practice, mark the Odu Otura Meji upon the Ifa tray, incorporate it into black soap, and bathe with it daily for forty-two days as a means of deterring negative vibrations that may cloud your life, mind, and essence.

Just as a dog possesses an extraordinary sense of smell and can recognize what remains imperceptible to ordinary human senses, likewise spiritual wisdom and divine intelligence recognize the presence—the spiritual “odor”—of a person who possesses deep spiritual power and connection.

Therefore, connect yourself with the divine path and spiritual line so as to induce profound success and take the necessary steps that awaken strength and power, not only within your own life but throughout your generation.

WHAT YOU DEVELOP WITHIN AFFECTS YOUR GENERATION

Whatever affects you may also have a profound influence upon your children and future generations.

Lion cubs develop into strong creatures because they carry and develop the nature of the lion. Likewise, the offspring of sheep grow to become creatures that may eventually be slaughtered upon the altar of sacrifice.

Man, however, possesses the capacity to change the direction of his destiny through discipline, focus, action, and a sound spiritual state.

Therefore, never surrender yourself to weakness merely because weakness existed before you.

Develop strength.

Develop wisdom.

Develop discipline.

Develop spiritual power.

Develop a peaceful mind.

And pass strength rather than weakness to the generations coming after you.

NOTHING IS BUILT WITHOUT ACTION

Do not become confused or convinced that you can build something without taking action.

Nothing meaningful is established through idleness.

To believe that evil will simply move away from your life without movement, effort, or appropriate action is an illusion.

The drunkard, the smoker, and the weak soul may continually blame other people for their undoing and weaknesses rather than confronting the habits and conditions within themselves that require transformation.

Do not live this way.

Do not leave everything to chance, because when nothing is done, the possibility of failure may become increasingly great, with consequences capable of extending from one generation to another.

If you are hungry and remain in one place without taking any action, hunger will eventually deal a deadly blow to your essence.

Therefore, move.

If something must be learned, learn it.

If something must be corrected, correct it.

If prayer is required, pray.

If spiritual steps are required, take them.

If physical effort is required, act.

If your mind requires discipline, train it.

If your emotions require equilibrium, work upon them.

By taking proper spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional steps, you deter the presence and domination of fear, worry, anxiety, mental weakness, and vices.

These are among the first enemies that a wise soul must recognize, confront, and conquer.

THE POWER WITHIN MUST BE TRAINED

Inner power does not become strong through wishes alone.

It must be cultivated.

Prayer trains it.

Discipline strengthens it.

Patience stabilizes it.

Peace protects it.

Wisdom directs it.

Action manifests it.

Spiritual practice connects it.

Good character preserves it.

Therefore, do not merely ask for power.

Become capable of carrying power.

Do not merely pray for wisdom.

Discipline yourself sufficiently to use wisdom.

Do not merely ask Olodumare and the Irunmole for victory.

Prepare your mind, character, spirit, and physical life to sustain the victory when it arrives.

The stronger and more peaceful the inner being becomes, the less room there is for fear, worry, anxiety, indiscipline, and weakness to dictate the direction of your life.

Build yourself from within.

Strengthen your essence.

Guard your mind.

Train your body.

Discipline your emotions.

Develop your spiritual life.

Remain in motion.

And allow the strength you cultivate today to become a foundation upon which future generations may stand.

May Olodumare bless you today.

May all Irunmole exalt you and dwell within your mind, heart, and soul, so that you may see and experience only the light, wisdom, power, and strength of Olori PataPata and His numerous divinities in your life and in the lives of your future generations.
