Truth, Lies and Logic in the Yorùbá Tradition.

Truth, Lies and Logic in the Yorùbá Tradition.

This teaching was given by Bàbá Odùdúwà through his spiritual medium/Ẹlẹ̀gún.

Ẹgbẹ‌ Ódùn Olọ‌fin - The Spiritual Family of the Secret of Olofin.

The Òrìṣà Deity is impartial, the Deity has no preference, the Deity is just, the Deity will manifest reality through Logic.

There is a verse in the sign of Òfún Méjì that speaks of the destruction of tradition, in that verse it says that he who knows Ìşẹ̀şẹ can destroy Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, it was the revelation of Ifá for Ọrúnmìlà when he intended to found Ilé Ife, they advised him to make Ẹbọ with three sacred rats, they advised to do it with Opolopo owo (a lot of money), a lot of Cowrie. Ọrúnmìlà sacrificed the three sacred rats to all the cowrie shells, and at that moment Ifá created the diversity of knowledge, based on the three heads of the sacred rats, which represent the three variants of logic. What this poem alludes to is that he who knows the tradition in a profound way, can destroy it, because tradition, depending on who directs it, can create Confusion. The three aspects of logic are based on the following:

the Truth that did not do Ẹbọ/Sacrifice.

the Lie that did Ẹbọ.

and the Logic that is that which exists, and cannot be taken as a truth, but as something absolute.

What am I going with this?

When what is already foreseen happens, people will fight against their own ego, not against logic, and not against the truth. Yes, against the LIE that they created in their own being.

Logic breaks down many old aspects that mankind adopted.

In Ìşẹşẹ some elders are too orthodox, rigid, traumatic, they at some point criticize the Lukumi tradition, they criticize all the strands of the Yorùbá diaspora, but the elders who are based on the philosophy of Ifá know that Ifá and Òrìşà is anything but Dogma. This follows from each cowrie shell that Ọrúnmìlà fed in the sign/Odù of Òfún meji, where each cowrie shell represented the different consciousnesses created to direct humanity. You will not have to fight anything, because if someone at some point pretends to make war against you, they will not be able to fight against Logic, and if they pretend to fight against it, they will have to deconstruct their beliefs, their destiny. It is written before you were born.

You may ask: Do you talk to an ancestor? How can that be? Because in the Lukumi Égún/Égúngún treatise of Ifá it says that direct communication with ancestors "supposedly does not exist". There is a Lukumi treatise about Égún of Ifá, where it says that he who goes under spiritual possession of an ancestor/spirit, that person , “lies”.

Nothing more wrong than this, the spirits of the ancestors were the ones who transmitted Ìşẹşẹ. The ancestors taught mankind the way to Edumare-God.

The Yorùbá knows that there are other planes, when humanity is just beginning to make sense of it, all the people that have made the greatest discoveries and the greatest hypotheses and theories in this world have been very related to each other.

Do you know why war is necessary? War is created to know who are with you, and to know which ingredients are worth persisting with. In practical terms - Ọwọnrín Meji, whatever you look at closely in appearance will be in chaos until you look at it from afar and find that everything has order.

Someday you all will have to bring an offering to the ancestors (of the Yorùbá land).

I do not intend to die with little, my sacrifice has to be my home.

Ifa divination was done to me before returning to Earth, they told me to make sacrifice Ẹbọ/sacrifice, and that I would have to sacrifice the most precious thing. What do you think I had to sacrifice?

Ifalenu: Your material vehicle where you como down under spiritual possession.

Odùdúwà: about the war, that person who intends to destroy you, will first have to destroy their belief system.

There are people who deny my position, there are people who reserve their opinion, there are people who accept my position.

There are current kings who have dared to kneel in front of deities who murdered my people.

Ifa says that logic is the essence of existence. IFÁ is Logic. Òrìṣà is logic. My People were not Archaic. My People were never Ignorant. My People knew and knew of aspects that today humanity is just discovering. They came to call us Archaic. They came to call us savages. They do not know the essence that this comprises. Someday and sometime the African elders will have to be repaid. They will have to be acknowledged and they will have to be paid respect, reverence. But they will have to accept the logic.

Lukumí, ÌŞẸ̀ŞẸ, Candomblé, the whole Yorùbá diaspora and the birthplace (Yorùbá Land) are based on the principle of Ifá, of Òrìṣà, and respect arises when you go offering.

When the friction is that which one has to offer. Those who get friction will have to reveal their reality. Do you understand?

Do you know why I tell you that he who knows the tradition can destroy the tradition, that he who knows the tradition can destroy the tradition, do you know why? Because they don't have all the answers. Pris: Because he who has the knowledge can manipulate?

Odùdúwà: Àşẹ, do you understand? When situations arise, your most powerful weapon will be Knowledge and Logic. ÌŞẸ̀ŞẸ is ODARA (Good), LUKUMI is ODARA, the whole diaspora is ODARA, it is okay. What is Not right is who leads ÌŞẸ̀ŞẸ, what is Not right is who leads the diaspora or the variants of the diaspora. The human being is perverse, according to how he is formed, and Ifa says; that every being who is born is innocent, is free from guilt, he perverts himself from what surrounds himself with.

In ancient times, the ancestors were a reason for respect, and were a reason to lead a proper, blameless and clean life. The fear of disrespecting what the ancestors inherited was very great. Today the respect for all those who formed ÌŞẸ̀ŞẸ has been lost, the respect for all those who formed the tradition in the world has been lost. The greatest power that exists is the Knowledge of the Ancestors. When you have to face such a situation, you will have answers to give, but you will be able to evoke questions, which not everyone will answer.
