The mysteries behind spiritual wisdom and survival in the jungle of life rest on our ability to connect with the superior energy within us and the powerful forces of the cosmos around us.

This is the connection between the power within and the power without.

Many people deny the existence of universal forces because of limited understanding. Yet every human being is part of a greater whole. The whole is the universe, the infinite cosmic force. The parts are you, me, us, plants, mountains, trees, animals, rivers, oceans, the sun, the moon, the stars, morning, afternoon, night, fire, elements and all visible and invisible creations.

Yoruba Wisdom and Universal Energy

In Yoruba spiritual wisdom, all parts of creation are controlled, guided and influenced by sacred energies. These energies are classified through Odu, deities, ancestral forces, Egbe, Ori and divinities.

Egbe can be understood as a spiritual extension in heaven, while Ori represents personal destiny and inner spiritual direction.

All these energies and divinities are ultimately responsible to Enitolodu, also known as Olódùmarè.

Sacrifice, Ritual and Spiritual Balance

Initiates offer sacrifice to divinities, deities, Egbe and Ori to create balance, receive spiritual support and protect their lives and future generations.

These sacred practices help deter the forces of Ajogun Orun and Eburu Aye. Ajogun Orun and Eburu Aye are destructive forces that can create suffering, confusion, misfortune and spiritual imbalance.

When these forces appear, they cause us to seek the face of Olori Pátápátá and His numerous divinities through the power of Odu.

Do Not Wait Until Life Becomes Unbearable

Just as hunger makes a baby cry for the attention of its mother, human beings often remember divine power only when life becomes painful. But we should not wait until our personalities and humanity face unbearable situations before calling upon the creative powers of the cosmos.

We must learn to connect with these sacred energies early, consistently and sincerely.

Offer sacrifice and rituals with sacred items such as:

• obi
• orogbo
• atare
• cowries

Pray constantly. Fast often. Speak positively to yourself. Control your mental state. Maintain discipline, determination and emotional balance.

Align With Olódùmarè and the Divinities

To gain the attention of Olódùmarè and His numerous divinities, we must support ourselves through sound spiritual steps, mental focus, emotional equilibrium and good feelings.

These practices are not only for your life. They also bless and protect the lives of your future generations.

When you align with cosmic power, you open the path to spiritual balance, protection, wisdom and divine support.

You are blessed.

Iwo gangan L’Orisa
You are the true deity.

Be blessed from generation to generation.

Ase.
