hey Obara!!!Ooo I remember my divination s and nuff times you say don’t argue. I write it down and recall it but my assertive or facety side want to show up it was a serious battle within. Sometimes I won others I lost.

Interesting post here Obara. I will have to work on my temper. In recent times I have began losing my temper more often than I should and even my patience.

About deception, well, I guess I can rest easy knowing those that have deceived my family will have their enjoyment limited one way or another. In your example you mentioned about one should feel sorry for the deceivers and it got me thinking on something along moral lines. This world we live in is nowhere as clear cut as we are taught to believe so would the consequences still be the same if the deception was done for a noble cause? Not all deceptions are diabolical.

You’re welcome Joy

God bless you also Ms.Knowledge

I just received confirmation from reading this post. Thank you madam Obara.
I too have learnt to let things be and not dirty my energy field with unnecessary bickering and anger. So much peace……

Salute. All very true. Thank you for highlighting that “karma” isn’t the limit and our defenses are layered. I never considered it from that perspective.

The beauty of spiritual advancement for me so far is that once you start on a path of enlightenment, you can’t reverse. However, I pray to never become stagnant in my growth. It seems our guides and ancestors and Ifa are always indicating something that we need to work on…so unless I choose to stand still on this path, growth is inevitable. May it be so. Thanks O!

There was no next move in my own. The message kept coming in and at that time it became overwhelming, my enemy worried and pretty soon I was going through a spiritual initiation. Yours was read to you you once, my own haunted me, ( it was a message for me) see the difference?

Nice!

A lengthy comment from Kevin? Rain will fall heavily today. Hi Kevin, glad to see you here!

Every thing we go through are learning Chapters in our book of life- Maybe sometimes we go in a chapter and it doesn’t sink in so we need to re live(re read) it before we goto the next chapter.
Some things wont seem to connect till you go further in your life book.

Much love Sis!

Mo, long time o

Obara Meji, this post is so, so, so, sooooo timely! Thank you much much much!

What a lovely and inspirational post. This has a powerful message and came at the right time for me to see this. Because I am going through a waiting period in life now and i feel so lost and at times lonely and it’s hard to have faith that it’s just for a period of time.
Love love love the blog Obara.

You are welcome Saphire, stay blessed.

Blessings Natalie, make sure you learn your lessons and move forward

You are most welcome Peace Treasure.

Thanks for this very necessary reminder…your compassion about the subject is palpable.

Life has such an abundance of lessons and the teachers vary so much and are so unassuming sometimes that even when we know to expect anything, we still miss something.

“…all rewards are not given to us here on Earth. Some people get rewarded for their service on earth in their new life, after they have unplugged from this realm.” If you’re not spiritually centered, this can be such a hard pill to swallow.

In the case of this young man and so many others, are there times when egbe is also at play in addition to being taught lessons or is it one or the other?

Well look like me skull skool or mi head tuff cah I keep repeating grade 5 loooooool no sah mi nah laff cah it’s true! O ma se!

Ooooook so a the waiting period I’m in now. is there a time line? I understand spiritual time is different from the physical.

This was refreshing.

Ma, what a wonderful message and a timely reminder that everything we go through is a lesson and we must use our spiritual understanding to find out the truth

This is an excellent post as always Obara! I feel as if learning our lessons are also putting it into practice, and I say that to ask this question, does the universe ever test you on something after you’ve learned it to make sure that you actually put it into practice?

Thank you for your comment. I’d like to add on to some things and hope that perhaps you’ll be able to look at all that you have written here from a different angle.

1. “Start with the children of Israel who went searching for the Promised land and never made it, but instead were left roaming in the desert for 40 years because they refused to hear and obey God’s word.”

Let me begin with this part. I respect the fact that you are Christian, though I am not, but I will share with you what I see from this with what you have pointed out. Now, you exclaimed that God left them in the desert to roam for 40 years for disobedience, but here you are using this part of the Bible to show me that because of their disobedience God punished them this harshly. Can you see that because of this people will know or understand not to disobey God? That their lives were used to show that disobedience was used to bring dire consequences?

They were the sacrifice so that others can learn, hence the reason this was placed in the Bible. Now, to say that their lives were not fulfilled is not for anyone to say because while you may think that they suffered for the 40 years that they roamed the desert, their lives and story impacted others and taught them what not to do – and that is go against God.

2. Now let’s touch on John the Baptist. He, too, was a sacrifice in order to teach us something. You said that he was thrown into prison for defending the institution of marriage, but then afterwards he gets beheaded. Again, there are times when humans have to go through suffering in order to highlight certain things for others to see and understand, even if it takes a while before understanding comes.

You said that he waited for Jesus to rescue him, but after waiting for a very long time he begins to question Jesus. This is how human emotion goes: there are times when things come to test our faith and our belief. It is apart of the human makeup. Now, I am going off your beliefs, and although I respect it, I am looking beyond what you are seeing as literal. I am going towards the spiritual meaning behind these things written there.

Yes, patience is something that all of us should try to practice, but if you wait at a bus stop and are told after awhile that the bus stopped running an hour ago, will you still wait? Or move on and trek? Having patience does not mean you should forfeit sense.

Tragic circumstances are what teaches us, the new ones to come. There is nothing that has ever happened, that has been tragic, that others have not learned from. When one person fails at one thing, another may try the same thing and triumph, because he has learned from the mistakes of the first.

I do understand you believing that at times people with good intentions get a very raw deal. But perhaps you will see the reality that those who go through tragic circumstances, hardships, the ones as you say get raw deals in life, are at the forefront of the battlefield. They are the sacrifice for those who triumph, who have happy endings, who are joyous and prosperous. Because the whole meaning to our lives here on Earth is that some will suffer, some will die, some will be resurrected, some will teach and assist. Everything can not be good all the time.

But know that it is what we refer to as the “bad” that will allow us to enjoy the good when it comes.

I do remember you and I do feel for you because I see that you have been hurt very much, but there comes a time when you have to let go and release in order to push forward and find yourself. The person that took away your wife perhaps came to open a door for you, so that you may push forward and find your promise/destiny.

Do not have a tunnel vision look at life. You must be able to look at it panoramically and see every angle. When someone has been removed from your life it does not mean that your life now become stagnant. It can mean that a boulder has been removed so that you can go further. Life comes in phases. Perhaps this is the reason you are going through this. Perhaps there is a lesson you have not yet learned.

Why is she no longer in your life? Has she gone in order to clear your way? Has she gone so that YOU can find yourself? Maybe all your life everything you did was about her. Maybe you built your life around her. She is gone physically but you still live with her. Perhaps now is the time to find yourself.

But all is not lost. You will see the sun again.

I’ll leave with you this: If you want her to come back, release her from your mind.
