  • Hello Community, I just wanted to pop in and show my face, and glad you are all here to embrace spirituality.

  • I Am became a registered member 3 years ago

  • Evie changed their profile picture 3 years ago

  • Religion vs. Tradition: What's The Difference? Yesterday, I wrote a WhatsApp status that attracted many comments and questions. But I found one question in particular very […]

    • Oore Yeye OOOO, Osun OOOOO!

      Obara Meji, I salute you! Your willingness to teach is illuminating my path – thank you.

      On this journey, especially in this time, the greater access we have to information enables us to live a “balanced” life.
      In this post, you explained the IFA tradition beautifully and the “reasoning” provided me with the confirmation I needed in a remarkable way. There is great relief in not feeling the need to “defend” my affiliation with IFA. There is no need too argue or force another to convert – Tradition is all inclusive, it is limitless. Why would I resort to less?

      I would love for you to expound on one thing:

      All Forces has two sides to them and both opposition forces always walk together. The Negative is the elder of the Positive and will always walk before the Positive.

      Why is the Negative considered the elder of the Positive? How do you explain one going before the other? I have an idea but I’d prefer your clarity 🙂

      • Thank you for the Question IB. In the post, Negative represent that which is not good, or darkness, it represent, quarrel, fight, disturbance, uncertainty, and more,. Nature and all things within teaches this, thunder and lighting strikes (not that this is bad, but can be frightening for some, and lightning can be dangerous), before rain falls to cleanse.

        If you are able to study the elemental forces, you will see the flip side of everything therein. The negative or what is termed “bad” always comes before the good. Whenever anything positive is to happen in someones life or within the environment, or even the world, the bad,must occur.

        If the road is bad and needs fixing, it must be dug up, and new road put in place. Drivers.commuters and pedestrians alike will be inconvenienced, but when all is done, there will be a pleasant outcome that will benefit all who will use that path way. making it safer and better.

        A mother carries her child for the gestation period of 9 months (most often, as it should be). During that time,she is ill, uncomfortable, she gains weight, has mood swings and more. At the birthing table, she cries, beseech and moans for this to be over, and when the child makes its entry, it is joy unspeakable and full of glory.

        The boss picks on you and the co-workers makes your life a living hell, and you quit, only to find a better job, with better benefits, and more pay and even respect to boot. You look back at the agony you faced before this blessing came, the tears you she, the prayers you made.

        If you look back in your life or those you are closest to, you will see the pattern of the negative coming first, and if you are willing to endure, then the positive rolls in.
        They say that before there was anything here on planet earth, there was darkness, then Light came and here we are
        .

        • Thank you for responding.

          I can relate to that in several ways 🙂
          I find it helpful to avoid viewing occurrences in the typical sense of “positive” or “negative” and it definitely helps.

    • Everyone evolve at there own pace. I remember questioning everything about Christianity and I was deemed as strange or going against God words when I questioned things. I felt bad becuz of how ppl looked at me and deemed me to be the bad guy. I struggled for along time trying to find the right place to fit in. I was wise enough to look at all religion and not condemn them but still seek what I was looking for…

      This one of the reason I thank u Ms. Obara becuz u have been that one person whose blog made me know I wasn’t strange or just being rebellious. Your post means so much to me as I have learn so much. I might not reach the level at yet some thing I am yet to fathom the idea as I have not being expose fully but it just mek sense. I thank you again as I was expose to IFA, Osun on this medium and I am truly grateful

      • You are welcome my darling. This is the thing with religion, they tell you if you go against their teachings, you are sinning. Sinning against what or who?Will God chastise you for wanting to learn, why can’t you be free to question things? what are they afraid of?

        • They’re afraid of losing tithes and offerings

        • I certainly don’t know.. if I am in a religion and it’s a problem to asked question or to seek clarification on things that makes no sense. Something is wrong and off

    • Once again another beautiful and rich post Ma’am. I’m not surprised though, but each time you teach, there is always some new revelation to see.

      My questions are;

      *You said if man can look at life from lesser place. By lesser place do you mean without worry of what will come tomorrow or when will it come or just looking at life without material attachments?

      *What is happening to Sally is not that she’s being punished for offending a child of water but her misalignment with that energy due to her fight. Does this mean that Maya is in alignment with the energy if sweet waters and that’s what causes the problem for Sally?

      *If Maya was not in alignment with the sweet water energy, would Sally have had any problems after that fight?

      *Is it possible to also be punished for offending a child of sweet water energy even as you say Sally isn’t being punished for that reason? I mean can the Orisha take that action to teach the offender a lesson?

      Big up Ma’am Obara!!! You always drop golden teachings on here.

      Thanks so much… Love and light…

      • Hi Kay, thank you very much for the questions.

        1) A “lesser place” as it relates to the post, means a person is not well advanced in their perception or understanding of spirituality.

        2) No it doesn’t mean that Maya is in alignment with sweet water. It means that knowingly or unknowingly, Maya is a child of water. That is the realm she comes from. She is just in physical form but in fact is the embodiment of water spirit walking among us. So Sally, even if she was water, herself, and did not know, the fact that whatever she did or said to offend Maya was so disturbing or offensive, said water, as energy could react to her. So Sally, let’s say, “manipulated” that energy to work against her. Maya did not cause Sally’s repercussion, Sally caused it herself. So the Babalawo will now proscribe a sacrifice to manipulate the energy back into Sally’s favor.

        3) #2 should answer this question.

        4) Yes it can be and it has even happened in my own case. I had a sister who offended me deeply, and to this day water still disturbs her. Anywhere she goes, her house floods. She will do her own spiritual work, despite what I might advise her, but she knows and understands nothing about Ifa. So until she can appease the energy she offended, water will continue disturbing her. OH also another way the energy can be appeased is if the same person who was offended now genuinely forgives the person in the same depths at which the offense was caused. (I tried forgiving her but she keeps offending me so mi nuh business). For her own good I stay away from her so she doesn’t go and drown in her bathtub lollllll

        • Thanks for clearing my head with your answers. Lol @so she doesn’t go and drown in her bathtub…

          You’re a gem, a uniquely rare one i must say.

          • Blushing, thanks Kay

            • As i always do, i came back to read this post again. For the umpteenth time and also read comments from others because there are things to learn from the answers you give to.

              I must say the comments i see from other bloggers gives me so much joy on this topic.

              Whoever doesn’t get this cannot understand Ifa until the day their Ori forcefully opens their inner eyes lol.

              Even people following Ifa presently do not understand it this way Ma’am… Please blush all you want you deserve it.

              Like you always say “all religions are valid, so long as it preaches peace and love”

              A very good morning and a good day to you yours.

    • No it does not. When you climb a step, you climb one at a time. If you tried two at a time, will you not stumble? Will you not be confused? It is the same with trying to balance several different ways of life (or religions) at once. It a person hears a horn in one ear, and drums in the other, it would certainly drive them crazy. Along with this, everything carries its own vibration. Christianity has its own and so does Ifa. There are different levels in spiritual roads, this is why we climb from one place up to another. Choose a road and climb a step at a time.

    • Thank you Lola for this comment

    • Thank you

    • WOW Sis I have one perfect for you and your readers!
      Its Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell a Professor who studied various religions and he analyze the difference between religion and Tradition just as you are explaining here-
      It is very old 1980s but you can find the videos here and there but it is 6 Parts in full if I can remember-
      Explain alot of stuff you always talking about with religions and the stories (myth they use)EXTREMELY insightful. Some of the things he talks about are exactly what I hear you talk about in terms of how to live, there is no good or bad! duality! and many more
      I am going to search and watch it again actually

    • Thank you for taking your time to write an important topic as this. I love your examples and how you break everything down. Thank you for making this clear once again Obara Meji. Reading this topic is evolving. I love the end of this post is so deep.
      “We exist so that we may evolve.

      Evolution has no expiration. So there continues the story…”
      Obara Meji
      Thank you for sharing .

    • Hello Obara! Again, what a beautiful post ❤️
      Would it be correct to say that, the stories in various religions are all truths – but are interpreted and retold in different ways (some with an agenda)? Religion goes wrong with complete worship and devotion & often limits the acceptance of duality that exists in the universe.
      This is what I gather from this post..

      Also, I know that you often speak of “good/evil” things happening as apart of our journey in this realm.
      In the instance of Sally, if she went to the Babalawo before the argument – and he told her how to avoid it, and she did -could this avoidance have possibly interrupted her journey (as it relates to spiritual elevation)? I hope this question makes sense, lol.

      Love and light.

      • Hi Sim,

        Sorry for the late response. But thank you for the questions!

        1) Stories in the Bible, in Koran, in the Hindu Text or otherwise can not be looked at as Truths as what we perceive with Truth to be. Anything that is coming from an unknown source or from ancient times, has had eons to be remixed, watered down, made up for teaching purposes, etc. However, there is something, as we know it called Spirituality, and spirituality carries with it a particular energy that manifests in our world as tools to guide and prepare us and teach us as travel along life’s way.

        So if we see mythology in anyone of these dogmas or doctrines it can be interpreted or believed to be Truth, because its main goal is to teach or pass along wisdom. Therefore, we should not think the about the wholeness or Holiness of it, only how it affects our lives, our thinking, our consciousness, our journey, our beliefs etc.

        There are no Truths. Just as there are no Lies.

        This is an Intermediate to Advanced post, so if you don’t really understand it now, come back after some time and see if you digest it all in a new light!

        “Religion goes wrong with complete worship and devotion & often limits the acceptance of duality that exists in the universe.”

        Hm. Not necessarily. Religion doesn’t go wrong with worship and devotion (and this does not mean that worship and devotion is or isn’t the “correct” way to evolve, it is merely the level that they operate until they experience self-realization and further advancement). Religion goes wrong with limiting evolvement, encouraging limitation, and discouraging searching for knowledge and Truth anywhere outside of these organizations. This is where it goes wrong and why it will fade from existence if the Earth moves into a more advanced state, making more elementary and stagnating spiritual lifestyles cease to exist.

        Duality is also a limitation. The concepts of good and bad are the viewpoints of the current consciousness of a large collective of humanity. When one evolves, one realizes that everything exists for the purpose of evolution. When one advances, the idea of Oneness is a more accepted reality.

        • Thank you, learning so much

        • Thanks to you ma you really said alot in this post that made me understand some certain things that I felt ignorant about. moreover I stop reading Bible lately since I decided to follow my part as African Spirituality and everytime I always find answer to so many unquestionable act in the bible that made me believe the Bible is one of the conspiracy theories. I’m happy to find your blog may Olodumare keep guiding you great Obara Meji. Ase!!!

    • Good morning ma’am, great post. Even though am well acquainted with what you wrote, this post reminds me of something very important. As someone who has done a lot of appeasement, the palm oil sacrifice resonate with me. Sometimes an addition of biscuits, cake, kola nut, egg and so on. Sometimes you begin with pouring of water in the road (crossroad), depending on the appeasement…
      The palm oil is poured all over the items during which you will be making your intention or speak as told by the babalawo and immediately when you are done, you walk away from the sacrifice without looking back until you get to your house or walk into your house.
      The oil is to loose everything that is tight in someone’s life, to make everything that is hard become soft, and so on. Again, depending on the appeasement.

      Please ma’am I have some questions that I would appreciate if you give me answers.

      My first QUESTION is why is it that sometimes there is little or no changes in the situation a person find him or herself even after undergoing the appeasement, even after doing several sacrifices as told by ifa via the babalawo. Sometimes the person who did the sacrifices doesn’t find any changes in his or her life even after it as been confirmed that the sacrifice was accepted.

      My second QUESTION is why is it that some appeasement can be done on someone else’s behalf but some sacrifices must be carried out by the person that want to appease. His or her presence must be needed.

      Though I have being given different answers from different spiritualist and traditionalist. But I know In life, there are levels. All fingers are not same likewise the head.
      We have one VISIBLE HEAD but some people have SEVEN like some seven head spirits.
      WE WERE NOT BORN EQUAL.

      That’s my questions ma’am, I hope you understand the questions.

      Thank you and Stay Blessed.

      • Benjamin by you expounding on the palm oil I made reference to, shows me that you have missed the entire point of the post. However I will answer your question, and by the way, what you just described as appeasement may be for what was prescribed for YOU, but I need to let anyone who read your comment know that sacrifice is not like that always, and what Benjamin has described is what was prescribed perhaps for him to a particular deity for a particular reason. We have to be responsible for information we are putting out to the public Benjamin. Your description above was for You, I reiterate once more.

        To answer your question about sacrifices not working for you (and I know you will come back and say you know this already, but please know that it is the humblest calf who will suck the most milk).

        Sacrifice is done to shift an energy, to clear the way. Most often after the sacrifice, immediately things will change but because your eyes are glued to the window looking to blatantly see a flood of goodness coming to you, you will miss that all week the baby in the crib has been crying, and now the baby is quiet, gurgling and playful.

        The energy that created the problem came from the cries that the child created with it’s cries. Now it’s solved but you are still looking.

        Be wise, although wisdom is not sold in shops, it is given to those who have released ego, and for those deemed worthy.
        .
        People respect when change is loud instead of subtle..

        The Babalwos will not explain this to you, because it is not their job to do so, you should be humble enough to understand subtle changes in your life, not everything will be drastic.

        Then there are the sacrifices that no matter what you do, if your Ori (your head) wants a particular thing for you, nothing will allow it to budge.

        My family member has been working on her job for fourteen years. She is an Ifa Initiate and makes her sacrifice all the time.Since Covid19 came in, the job began to fight her.She cried everyday, she made sacrifices and still the fight continued. She did divination with me and I told her that because of her sacrifice, she is now moving onto her next phase in life. The spirit told her that, they (spirits) are making her uncomfortable so that she could move on.

        She is yet to marry and have children, so leaving that place and onto the next, is where the energy will shift for her and there awaits her husband and children that she has been searching for. Things like these happen.

        Sacrifice done correctly and through the direction of Odu and a competent Babalawo, works. Be wise, at times the sacrifice is to affect you 15 years from now and not NOW. Relax and trust. , . .

        Also, if you have to be there when the sacrifice is to be done, at times a particular item has to touch your body, but there are solutions to that, if you are not able to be there personally.

        I hope that these question satisfies your soul, read and read again before you respond, I am used to you, and your mind spins like a fan on its highest speed.

        God Bless and thank you for the questions.

        Please forgive typo’s and run on sentences.

    • Good morning Ma,

      I honour you!

      Each time you post an article, personally, you are taking me to a higher realm to show me all the answers to my questions I’ve been asking myself for so many years…

      Thank you sooooo much for what you are doing. You are doing abundantly well for mankind. I sincerely appreciate your generous and humanitarian service. You don’t have to do this but you chose to do it to awake myself and so many others. I’m grateful…

      The Spirits will continue to guide and lead you…

      More blessings upon you!

    • ” Everyone is where they ought to be we exist so that may evolve” this true wisdom thank you obara meji. My question is what are the likes and dislikes of people from sweet waters?
      * If sally goes and apologised to maya for hurting her with words and maya accepts the apology wouldnt that pacify the energy she has offend?
      *What are the characteristics of someone who is an embodiment of the energy FIRE?

    • Thank you ma’am for the reply, I think I made a mistake with the way I structured my comment that’s why you misinterpreted everything. You always misinterpret my comments or replies. Even from the first day you replied my mail (No disrespect). I think perhaps, most times I don’t get my message across the right way or the way you will easily understand what am trying to say. That’s why I prefer speaking instead of writing (I told you that last year).

      Firstly, anyone reading this should know that my comment wasn’t about the post. All I did was use a line in the post to ask a question while making reference to the post so that my comment wouldn’t be entirely outside the area of focus.

      You are right, what I wrote about the palm oil was prescribed to me, I didn’t want to make the reply all about me that’s why i used those words, is just like you telling a story to people but you don’t want the people to know the story is about you, so you say the true story but in a different way.
      When I was commenting, I knew you will understand that it is about me but i didn’t think that other people might think I expounded more on what you said about the palm oil, which wasn’t my intention.

      My intention was for you to have an idea of what my questions are about, that is why I explained the palm oil before the questions. I accept I made quite a mistake with the way I went about it (APOLOGY BY THE SIDE MA’AM).

      I’m very well acquainted with all you said in your reply to my comment. To be precise, all you said, I already knew long time ago, the reason I asked you the questions is not because I’m ignorant of what am asking, is me trying to know if you will give me a different answer entirely that I can use for the purpose of GROWTH because of who you are.

      The parable I used was misinterpreted by you as well. This parable “But I know In life, there are levels. All fingers are not same likewise the head.
      We have one VISIBLE HEAD but some people have SEVEN like some seven head spirits.
      WE WERE NOT BORN EQUAL.”

      What I meant by that parable was me saying that you might know more than the spiritualist and traditionalist that I have worked with in the past and some I’m still working with in regards to my questions, that you might give me a completely different answer because your gift is probably different from everyone else I have known. Some powers were given to some people, some were taught, some were bought, while for some people it is INATE.

      Is like me saying in pidgin “A VILLAGE WHEN FAR, ANOTHER VILLAGE ‘DAY’ WEN FAR PASS AM”

      You didn’t understand my comment completely because I wasn’t direct. That’s why at the end of my comment, I said, I hope you understand my questions.

      That comment of mine wasn’t supposed be post in public platform by me, I always keep those kind of things private. I made a mistake, it was supposed be just Private(send to you privately) but I thought you might miss my mail, so as a result I might not get an answer. That’s why I dropped it here as a comment.

      Lastly, I’m not EGOTISTICAL.
      There are always going to be times when people are going to mistake my confidence for arrogance because they don’t understand the process I went through and how much I had to believe in myself in order to get to the point I am right now, in order for me to still me alive not dead.

      I’m PROUD not ARROGANT. I’m not humble. I can’t feel less of myself. I don’t sell myself short. I think people should stop telling others to be humble, people need to start saying “BE AWESOME”. I’m Benjamin Franklyn Jr. standing with my head up high, soon to be FRANKLYN the GREAT.

      Thank you ma’am, I love you so much, you know that. Please don’t forget am a student of life, am still your student. Nobody is perfect. Treat me…

      God Bless You.
      Stay Blessed and Be Safe.
      Have a great and productive week.

      • Below is not a parable but a saying. I made a mistake in my comment above. Is supposed to be “you misinterpreted my SAYING as well”.
        “But I know In life, there are levels. All fingers are not same likewise the head.
        We have one VISIBLE HEAD but some people have SEVEN like some seven head spirits.
        WE WERE NOT BORN EQUAL”

      • Benjamin, you never disappoint. Didn’t I write that you will come back and say that you already know what I am explaining?

        Here is your comment:

        “I’m very well acquainted with all you said in your reply to my comment. To be precise, all you said, I already knew long time ago,”

        Here is mine:
        “To answer your question about sacrifices not working for you (and I know you will come back and say you know this already,”

        I do not know about you, but my enemy does not know everything, I always refer to myself as a student, a forever one. I am fascinated by life and the Universe and I can never stop learning it. When I learn something, I then share it here with you all.

        Also, it is important that you read with understanding. When I wrote this:

        Be wise, although wisdom is not sold in shops, it is given to those who have released ego, and for those deemed worthy.”

        It was not in any way aimed at you, it was a general statement.

        Spirituality is broad and requires humility and patience in order to see and recognize Truth. If either of us is too sure that we “already know” everything, we will miss knowledge opportunities. And knowledge can come from anywhere, in any form, rich or poor, beggar, thief, or child.
        .
        However Benjamin, this is a place where we all come and learn,in peace, love and light. And no one here is or should ever be in competition for who knows what. For none of us knows anything, we are teachers, but we are also students eternally.

        However, I am an elder in the eyes of the Universe and must be respected as such, for I have come very far in my own journey and I am doing my service to humanity.

        P.S ALL of my stories, the ones I write about myself are 110% TRUE! If it is my story, I will blatantly say so, as I have since the inception of this blog. If the story does not belong to me, but I wish to teach from it, I will respect the person’s privacy and drastically change names and stick only to the main points and not every detail. If the story is just a fictional example for the purpose of making a point, this, too, will be stated.

        I love you also my beloved. God Bless.

    • By the way, I did as instructed by you ma’am, I took my time to read it over and over again before I replied. Sacrifices works, that am certain about. I have done a lot that changed different situation. I have been on the road for long, I have seen what seem impossible turn possible just with the help of sacrifice. My question is not me insinuating that sacrifices doesn’t work, I used the word “SOMETIMES”

    • Thank you Lola. I always encourage people to read the comments, lots of jewels drops there.

    • I didn’t disappoint you when I wrote ” I’m very well acquainted with all you said in your reply to my comment. To be precise, all you said, I already knew long time ago”

      That’s because it is true. The TRUTH IS CONSTANT. If I don’t know I will tell you, thank you for educating me.
      The truth won’t change to fit a situation.

      Most of what I said ‘I’m very well acquainted with”, i learned them from ES. Perhaps you have forgotten your blog is a source of vast spiritual knowledge. People’s comments and replies that are educative are saved in my notepad and colour note. I read them in my spare time and I do more research and ask questions about what am not familiar with or to.

      I comment and reply with the intent to share knowledge, to learn and to grow. Not with the intent to argue. I read to understand, not to argue!

      Let me state clearly that I asked you the questions with no intent to test you or compare you to anyone. It was simply to get more knowledge, there are things some elderly people have been privy to, that some others might not…

      I guess I will stop writing(commenting and replying) for a while. I will just read. Perhaps until after I have given you a call (hopefully soon). I’m way too passionate, I think people always have misconception about someone like me. I understand why.

      Apology by the side, if I have offended you in ways I might not understand.

      Stay Blessed Ma’am.

      • I will not comment again, but Ben there you go again. If you offended me, I would tell you. I am an Aries woman,and we are blunt.

        This is why in the first comment I told you to read and read again before you understanding you.

        No one is chastising you or accusing you of anything. Your comments are welcome.

        If you feel any way it is on YOU, not on ME.

        Do whatever you like, but you are always welcome here. Good night!

    • You are welcome my dear and thank you for the comment, Love and Light to you and yours.

    • Hi @Chris2Rich you are most welcome. Thank you for reading the blog and commenting. Happy new year 🙂

  • Everyone can agree that the entire world has changed.

    It feels as though we have taken a huge leap into a whole other dimension – and actually, that’s what it is. To many, it seems like a leap forward, but to […]

    • What are the consequences of selling yo soul .. Obara

      • Kinangu, I do not subscribe to the selling of the soul business, It cannot be done. Even if one has attained frequency, more light, the light that the person has newly acquired can never be taken away or dimmed. The stealing or selling of the soul is a Christian concept, and my belief does not lie there, thank you for the comment.

      • Kinangu, try understand what the statement truly means, then you will easily understand the consequences.

        There are many, many misconceptions about selling your soul.
        Soul is the core of your personality. It is what makes you, you. It is what makes you conscious. Without soul, there is no You! You can’t lock it up and hand it over. However, in a manner of speaking, you can “sell yourself”. How? LOVE! And it’s not just an ordinary love as people have for each other. An UNCONDITIONAL…Love gives you wings, not literally, Love allows you to go EXTRA MILES, to do necessary things, to get things that you NORMALLY would not get.
        SOUL SELLING IS NOT WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK.
        You sell yourself and do whatever is asked of you because……..

        That’s all I can say, I hope you can read between the lines. If not then ask a better question.

        If you ask a quality question, you will get a quality answer. If you ask a genuine quality question, you will receive a genuine quality answer.

        Stay Blessed.

    • The human concept of good vs bad (amplified by Christianity, no thanks) is such a limiting idea .. but sadly we will never know that we are thinking in such a small way, until we KNOW/wake up. Thank you for this guide, Obara

    • you are welcome my dear

    • Lincoln, Just by you writing the paragraph below shows me that you “get it”, and you are not an ordinary being. In fact, it seems as if you could have written this post. I wrote this post since last week and sent it out. It didn’t go out, there was a glitch in the system, come to realize the post was not done, so the Universe stopped it from going out. The Universe, instructed me to write more and re title the post, and we did, but it still could not go out. I worried why, today, the Universe re-titled it again, gave me more information within the download and alas!

      Many will not get it, but Kudos to the few who will even comment.

      Blessed Love my brother.

      I do concur we are entering a circular cycle of man spirituality and what is happening now is a reconnection of a higher cycle of the knowledge curve. We have so strayed from the true knowledge for so long it is only natural we go through a period where we come back in balance with such Knowledge. The cycle will take some time, just as we were moved away from the real Knowledge for centuries it might take the same time to achieve it once again but we are definitely at the beginning for the cycle towards it.
      Everything is in cycle – it the law of nature! Law of the Universe!”

    • Good Morning Ma’am,

      This another great and refreshing post. I took my time to read it over and over because it’s a lost to digest. This is a serious download.

      The verse the you shared from Beyonce’s song was shocking. I actually went to look for that song and there’s even more that blew my mind. She’s Osun and her sister is Yemeya(Yemoja), and she talked about Yoruba beads and Ancestors on the wall. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s on this blog.

      The old ways are coming back. I deeply concur with this. Religion has turned man against each other in the must disgusting way and it’s time for a reset. What we call modern is in the real sense spiritually primitive, but the human limitation makes everyone be in awe, whereas all these technology are just a tip of what’s hidden.

      A lot of people are asking spiritual questions, the Europeans who took Christianity to Africa are the ones returning to same Africa for initiations to the same traditional practices that they termed barbaric in their dictionary and brainwashed the Africans to ignore them. Isn’t it ironic? Everything you teach on here is obvious and it is happening live. It’s just like in the Lion King movie where Mufasa tells Simba that everything from the grass to the skies to the wild animals to the gentle ones and birds etc are all connected in the great circle of life. I reference the Lion King because these foreigners are not turned back or refused initiation due to their race, color or whatever, and this reiterates the countless times you have said spirit is without emotion. I have a few questions as most of the other things you have written, i can comprehend them.

      *Why the human construct seek to dismantle this connection with universe by way of racism and religions, Is it a manifestation of ideas outside in lesser form as well or a glitch in the scheme of things?

      *”For if lightening always seeks to strike iron, then how does this affect human life? And does it at all?” I think it does affect human life in a way that’s different from scientific explanations Ma’am, so i would love for you to please tell us how because this sentence looks really cryptic to me.

      “During these initiations the initiate becomes god-like and is warned against crying or anger.”
      *What would make an initiate want to cry or be angry on the grounds, is it as a result of the revelations that come from divination or just a feeling of being overwhelmed?

      “In this new beginning, ancient powerful Beings will walk among us more visibly than before, and the reason for this is because human consciousness would have risen.”
      *Does this mean the rise in consciousness and being tired of the prevailing human construct acted like an SOS call for the ancients to return?

      This was enlightening to read as always Ma’am. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I love the adage at the end of the post. 

      Peace and Light to you and yours.

      • 1-Good to see you once again Kay and you always ask relevant question. Like Lincoln, you are a deep thinker and I appreci-love that.
        Questions are answered in the order they are asked.

        When humans get to this place, to the spirit, this is like a virtual reality. One where the human becomes unconscious once he has landed here, he has no idea of where he is from or even why he came here in the first place. This place becomes a place of survival. Our Ancients did not operate as we now do, racism etc. was not apart of their lifestyle and living.

        It was over time when ego and power began to take over, that humans created this fallacy of race, discrimination and all things offensive and degrading.

        Remember Kay, the human has evolved, and he now sees himself BETTER than his brother, the lesser spiritual man, one who is not in tune with spirit arrives here, with this thought.

        But in times past that was not the case, no one saw the other as better because of skin color. What has caused this is the material, power, possession and greed. Seeking to be God like but not understanding what that is.

        As the times moved forward man saw himself great and saw the ability to rule and so he turned toward himself and community and plans of oppression were devised. No one thought of the spiritual in the real sense of the way, and when they did, it became religion and with that is where further divide happened. Sad.

        2-Lightning and Thunder in our world signifies war, death and destruction, pain and terror. When these thing happen here, these are the energies which fuels it, in other words, These energies are like oil trucks that comes to the filling station to refill

        3-overwelhmed, and if Èṣù is not fed before this thing begin, then things may happen to create this problem where the initiate may react in either way (tears or whatever) and of course that is not good. But with competent BABALAWO Èṣù is well fed and satisfied before anything begin.

        4-yes, these are some of the reasons

    • Hello Ms Obara, I have to tell you that I truly love this post. It very powerful as well as enlightening and could have actually been two or three posts. One thing I liked is how much physics you embodied in this teaching. Especially with your description of opposing forces and their uses on molecular structures. I loved how you pointed out that lightning always seeks to strike iron because in physics that’s one of the ways how current (energy) and electricity(energy) is manipulated.

    • Satisfied! Thank you.

    • Hello Ms. Obara, I love this post so much that I have many comments. In your post you wrote”The process of becoming a King, is a process to becoming god-like. The process prepares the human body to host a divine Force. Thus, over time, the human slowly loses his humanness and becomes god-like”

      I would like to ask your opinion on one of the greatest kings in our modern times which is Emperor Haile Selassie I. Many people worship him or praise him as being Christ in his kingly character and have many spiritual stories about him like the time Italy dropped a bomb on Ethiopia and he jumped on the bomb physically and it never detonated or how he could control animals with his eyes and last but not least he has been seen walking the earth years after he was physically crucified. Is he possibly a God or Angel? The reason I ask because I would love to expound more on this topic.

      • First let me greet this great Emperor
        Haile I
        Jah Rastafari
        Greetings in the name of His Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie the First!

        This man was great, not by what others say but from my own dreams of him when I was going through my spiritual initiation.
        He was crowned one the greatest titles
        King of Kings
        Lord of Lords
        Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah

        He of course was no ordinary human

    • Thank you Wale,Blessings to you also. This has always been their responsibility whether they are responding in a negative or positive way, both are a means to an end. However foolish humans through ignorance and the destructible demonic agent called religion, these natural forces became something to trample and curse and resent. They drew back and watch the world disintegrate, become mis led, stagnant etc.

      Now there is a new order, I didn’t say a new world order, lol, although it is the same for the same abi?

    • Good observation Mike

    • YW Ibi

    • Hello Ms. Obara, greetings to you. I honour you!

      Each article I read on this site, it opens a door of higher consciousness.

      I thank you specially for the humanitarian services you are rendering to humanity by providing a rare knowledge mankind needs to know thy self and its mission here on earth

      I have a date with you and it will be the most memorable day of my life to meet a special Higher Being like you in my life time.

      Thank you for all the teaching, knowledge and guide…

      • Hi Ray,

        Thank you for these encouraging words. Trust me, I need them. The load of knowledge is heavy like metal on top of the head. But I would not give up what I have gotten for anything in this world. And when I share it, and see it appreciated with words like yours, although the load is weighty, the words enable me to smile and carry on.

        Thank you my dear

    • Hello Obara
      Thank you again for such a deep, insightful post.
      Question, you say that “When humanized, a pure Force is more comparable to an Ancestor”. Does this mean that the ancestors are on a lower level , being that right above the human. Having a level of pureness like the force – but still subject to certain “human perceptions”?

      • Hi Sim,

        Oh I just love when you guys ask questions.

        This is a good one.

        Anything that once had a human form can only be subject to human ways if it becomes Earth bound. Not the “human perceptions” per se, because once it is released from the body, the heights of consciousness is more than what the human can think of.

        But if the spirit is Earthbound (as in trapped to the Earth’s atmosphere), it can pick up on human kind’s emotions and act upon it. But this is more of a mimic than actual feeling. Because even though Earthbound, it is still a higher intelligence in comparison to when it was once encased in human form.

        The moment a spirit is not within the human body, the spirit is a higher intelligence. Even when you go to sleep, you are more intelligent, superhuman you.

        Is it on a lower level than a pure Force? Yes… unless during its lifetime, it has accumulated an abundance of Light (consciousness) to be able to be uplifted within the vacuum of Life continuum that it will now find itself no longer on the list of Spirits that has to Journey to the Earth realm, but will instead be placed in a position where it can stay and INFLUENCE life form (benevolently or malevolently) on any plane that needs guidance.

        *Also, note that a Pure Force simply implies one that remains in its pure state and had never had a human existence. To experience the human existence means to lessen or dim one’s Light.*

        This Being, though once in human form, has elevated its consciousness during its lifetime on Earth. So the spirit will ascend to greater levels when it transitions. These are the “Ancestors” that are, let’s say, unreachable, and that you do not dream of (those that do dream of them must, themselves, be of a particular spiritual height).

        They are now of even greater Intelligence unfathomable to human conception (at this present level of consciousness).

        • Wow thank you so much for that breakdown! You give such thorough answers, Obara. Bless ❤️

    • Hey Sinda, how are you and baby?

    • You know, Mike In every culture, from the earliest recorded “time” in human history, one’s name must change when he becomes King. In fact, he now bears several names. I would like to say that this began with the African spiritual cultures which spread out, but it is a Universal truth.

      I should do a post on names one day. …. hmm..

      All that we are, including our names, are direct manifestations of the spirit within and its missions/journey on Earth. When the King is crowned King and his name changes, you are correct that it is because the Force within has changed or is in the process of change (because full transformation is still a process for the King). He must no longer go by his birth name because he is not that human being any longer.

      When they take on these godly roles, remember these Forces must operate an abundance of power within the confines of a limited human body and perception. This can make them seem erratic, crazy, or completely emotionless. This is why every King is not a King without a spiritualist, diviner, or some form of Spiritual Advisor beside him, or else he can run mad with the “load” (the Force) that has been placed upon him. He must be spiritually prepared.

      good observation Mike

      • Ok I see now. It makes sense now. The First Emperor of China had his alchemists and the last Czar of Russia (I think) had Grigori Rasputin. Even Hitler had some. Hitler was part of, or atleast influenced by, a secret society (I can’t recall the name but people can easily find it with a quick search). Heck, even Seaga had one in the form of Capo (not sure if that is the correct spelling).

    • Junior, no I do not know who Sizzla or Capleton is. You forget that I was the one who use to wash Jesus nappy? As a matter of fact, let me give you better than this, I was the one who delivered Mary, Jesus’s mother, even better me and her mother Saint Ann were very good friends.
      Yuh cudda bright, Of COURSE I KNOW WHO SIZZLA kOLANGI IS AND CAPLETON!!!, lololol. Why do most people think I am an old grey haired, wrinkled face woman? I told you all sey mi ah hot gal who love Stone Love dances!

      My darling, the fact that you were speaking to someone while the car was rolling shows me that your head (ori) and you are in great communication. We all have non-physical help around us,and if you are able to command your escape in a perilous time such as that, then you created the reality of what occurred after. Was it his majesty that saved you, it may be, just because of your belief, and prayer. Was it you who aided in your rescue, absolutely!
      How, you are conscious enough to command it.

    • How I know socially we are heading into a new age of knowledge is the daily social commentary of celebrities especially in the entertainment field talking out against religion especially Christianity.
      I think people are seeking out knowledge on their own and ditching the dogmatic view of Jesus especially in the Black community.

    • Hello Ms Obara,

      In the post it states; “Because this Earth is merely a manifestation of ideas, that means everything that exists outside will take some form, though lesser, on Earth.”

      I have a couple questions; Are the other planets in this world manifestation of ideas? And if they are what are their purpose? Is the hierarchies that exist on other planets?

      • Junior, please ask the first question again, other planes in this world, is what I am not understanding.
        This makes me not able to even answer number 2.

        Yes there are hierarchies on other planets.

        • Sorry Ms Obara, I meant are the other planets in this universe a manifestation of ideas? And if the other planets are manifestations of ideas. What are the purpose of the other planets since so little is known about the other planets.

    • well detailed post obara thank you! pls I have few questions below:

      how do you accumulate more light here on earth?

      how do you know the reason of your existence here on earth

      what makes one’s spirit to be condemned to a lower spiritual level?

      what are the criteria used in passing judgement on a soul when he depart into the spirit world or dies?

      • Thank you for the questions Beeby. Questions answered in the order asked.

        1-You accumulate light by how you live your life, purposeful to your journey. Not everyone’s journey is to play a “good” role. Some people are here to annoy,and to disturb, to kill, maim and destroy. These people once they have fulfilled the terror they came to cause or create, they can and will attain light. Same with those who are here to heal and show compassion. Light is attained with how much of your purpose you can fulfill.

        2- Follow you passion, or what you care about, pay attention to what you love or fell passionate about the most.

        3-Even If I knew, I could not tell my dear .

    • Thank you Lolade, send me an email, I answer all my mails, unless some escape me

    • Grand rising Obara (Teacher) i have some questions, 1)Where does the realms Exists?
      2) Why is it so that we have an Illusion world?
      3) why are some energies Suppressed, for the sake of humans if someone goes crazy or mad in this realm, is it the same in another?
      4) How do we Exists in so many realms all at once?
      5) why do we need a human Experience, is it only for growth? If we are spirits beyond limits why does it feel like some of us are limited on earth?

      Please forgive my Ignorance

    • Hello everyone,took the quiz and result is HOT & BLAZING.

    • Hi Butterfly, I am proud of you for taking a step toward finding your self. After 26 years, it is time for you to find YOU, to put YOU, first, to know and understand YOU. I cannot comment on your relationship because I do not know it in full detail and it would be remiss to add what I do not know, but what I am able to do is embrace your search for peace and enlightenment, spiritual healing, pushing toward to a conscious and awakened you.
      Pray for him, that is what you can do. Spiritually assist him into aligning himself and allowing the Universe to gently wake him up so he can begin to LIVE and allow his being to grow.
      Love and Light to you my darling.
