Do not go against nature (Òrìsà), or its taboos. Support it!
I have learned during my years of life with Ifá what are already 25, that everything we touch and live is how it is because everything is preconceived and nothing should change the normal and logical process of life, the existence of everything in the surrounding world , the balance of the energies that sustain our spirituality on earth and of each living being that lives in it or is in transit towards it. Every act including the negative ones, those that lead to disaster and irregularity, to the irreverent actions that we may unconsciously commit by the simple fact of being human product of our own Ori (destiny) and of free will or by the impulse of some ajogun ( malevolent force) of which we are victims.
There are those who perform acts devoid of empathy and perhaps sometimes because they are victims of their exclusive ignorance or their great illusion of knowledge. As there are positive acts that make the earth environment a place with better perspectives, that produces and brings sustenance to creation, for this we are those who have an Ori Ire (head created for good fortune), those who work for the well of humanity, I make a parenthesis in this because there are those who are supposedly in this group, but they burst and betray their destiny when they take the attribution of trying to change the natural process of creation, which of course and ostensibly will bring negative consequences sooner or later.
Through Ifá and the Òrìsà (Forces of Nature), you can rectified any situation that took an erratic path by the free will of the human beings that is breaking the normal or natural process of creation. The solution is in Ifá and is achieved by following the instructions in the writings of Orunmila, what is called Ifá, which is the very word of Olodumare (God), the truth, doing the right thing brings the full balance to our lives in relation to the earth (Ikole Aye) to which we belong every living being, restoring the natural harmony with our ecological environment.
I think like Áwo that we can NOT break what is natura in any way or form, man currently lives going against nature. And it is very bad, there are several examples and we all know.
An example that I will expand, there are those who can not have children. In Ifá it appears that there are those who entered Orun apadi (a place similar to what Catholics refer to as purgatory) due to their acts in their previous life and when they return to earth in the process of reincarnation precisely they bring as punishment the NO to be able to be progenitors in your current life. It is said that these must pay their debts contracted for which they are suffering such a consequence, must complete with Olodumare (God) following the correct patterns of life, respecting the taboos and having a good character in general terms. As part of the knowledge given to humanity in those who come to support the creation perhaps you can execute what is necessary for those who need it when they are free of debts, in order to avoid the failure of the process. I know that this example is something controversial and perhaps inexplicable for many, because it is a "beneficial" act, because it is the most beautiful thing that exists, the main reason why we are here; to procreate and reproduce, but in a natural way. And what is done must be in support of what was done at the beginning of existence.
Analyze this: In the beginning of existence Oduduwa was one of the 401 Irunmoles who used to visit the earth from heaven, this had the task of populating the earth and to make this possible Olodumare created Nini bi nini (a woman) this name literally means that one that is similar to us and, sent it to the earth with the age of 15 years approximately, which was ready to be the wife of Oduduwa and so they could procreate and inhabit the earth, if not for this today NOT we were here. This is in the verse Òyèkú Ogbè, Oduduwa and Enibinini had 16 children, 8 twins. When this happened Olodumare sent Omoniyorogbo to stay with Oduduwa and his family, so that he would watch because nothing against what had been created was wrong and to avoid prohibited acts, the taboos were respected, such as the fact that these brothers did not commit incest. But inevitably in their puberty they began to wish to have sexual intercourse between them, which led to Omoniyorogbo denouncing him to Olódùmarè, which was of utmost importance, because of NOT having respected this taboo, the human race would have developed a series of problems of health, deformities, disabilities ... etc. that would have led us to extinction. To solve such problem Olodumare sent Obatala, Esu, Ogun, Orunmila ... etc to create about two thousand human beings so that they would mix with the children of Oduduwa and Ninibinini. These were created from clay and animal bones and carved images, all with an age to procreate, from this moment and thanks to Olodumare and other Irunmoles, today we are here!
So, why not continue the natural process created by Olodumare and Irunmoles?I think what happens is that the human being confuses the use of the planted knowledge and deeply place it in his brain, in the core of his consciousness by Obatala and the other deities so that they support the creation doing what does not correspond to them, things such as : cloning ... etc. Observe and analyze, the modern world plays to be what they want and for many people, everything is fine, they DO NOT believe in taboos. By the way that we go there is no doubt that we will disappear at some point of the earth. I faithfully believe that Olodumare DOES NOT agree with many things that happen today because the taboos are breaking!Before there was a saying that said, do not confuse freedom with debauchery, but this saying is not even used. It turns out that now depravity exceeded freedoms.
Ifá says:
E mo sìkà láyé o o ò
Nítorí òrun.
E mó sìkà láyé,
Nítorí òrun.
Bé e de bodè é ó rojó.
Translation:
Do not do anything wrong on earth.
Since you will go to heaven.
When you reach the door (between heaven and earth)
You will have to answer. (Copied verse)
The Nature (Òrìsà):
Ifá say:
Iwori ‘Òkànràn:
Ojise orun or gesin waye
Ide na orun won or taji
Eye nla niigba'dalowo amour
Dia fun Iya Abeje omo onile iyun
A-bi-oun-gbogbo-nigba-nigba
Ebo ni won niko waa se
Abe je pada wa o
Ki o ma lo o
O ba waa pa da koogb'ewure
O ni oun or wa
Oun or ma lo o
Ojise Orun or gbowo
Ko je gbowo
Omo la ba fun
Translation:
The delegate of heaven does not ride on horseback over the world
The principalities of heaven do not accept payments
A heavy deluge is the one who removes the sword from a carved image
This was Ifa's message for Abeje's mother, who was the daughter of the owner of one of the land full of coral beads
I had everything in large quantities (hundreds)
She was advised to offer Ebo (sacrifice)
Abeje please come back
Do not go yet
Come and take an adult goat
She replied that she will not return
that will not go to heaven
The delegate of heaven does not accept payments
Does not accept any type of payment
We can pay any amount
The delegate of heaven does not accept money.
Olodumare is only ONE or whatever you call it, it's the same. There is only one God! God created human beings to populate the earth and to sustain the entire creation and not to change it or invent with its ambitions, aberrations and excessive greed. The solution is to follow the prescribed instructions, the dogmas of conduct and character. In each book that governs the different religions there is a total coincidence on: what is good and what is evil, so there is no risk or fear to err. Let us support existence, No more irrational exploitation of nature, No more deliberate use of granted knowledge, NO more debauchery. We are part of a plan, let's try to go the right way. Thanks for reading, Awo Ifajare.
