“In the anthropology of man according to Olodumare, humans are the apex of creation, designed with a specific purpose,” Professor Esan notes, underscoring the profound significance of human existence within the cosmic order.
Delving into the core of Ifa philosophy, Professor Esan traces its origins back to 500 BC with Orunmila as its central figure. “Iwa,” he emphasizes, “the living Virtues Of Life, is the cornerstone of Ifa philosophy.”
Absolutely on point! I have a spiritual practice in Iṣeṣe birn to toruba patents in the west. It has been a challenging path especially bc many of the custodians regard materialism as their only destiny and purpose. I was encouraged by my Ori inu when being initiated to regard this issue so i rely on my spirit through my heart and practice. I now have a mentor I am working on trust with. Thank you again for this and i will be following. As a final point i want to say my only disagreement was with Esu Elegbara. The energy is NOT one of the devil. He is more than a trickster i cant explain and he is the energy of every portal of life and afterlife and teaches us through equity how to master our lifes purposes and eventually master our way home (eternity). He is an energy that deserves much reverence. ❤
ASE! I woke up to this podcast and i know its going to be a good day. Brother Obehi and Brother Oluwafemi ese pupo! As a fellow Ordained Minister this speaks to me on so many levels!
Awesome Revelation…
