A new African Odu Ifa for New Afrikan people; Afrikans born outside of the mother continent of Afrika. From the Damballa New Afrikan Ancestral Order
Deep divination informed us that this Ese, or verse, was to be put under the sacred Odu Ifa Tula Medzi (Otura Meji), Why? Otura Meji tells us about correct communication and riving living in accordance to ancestral wisdom and the results that come if we do or do not follow that wisdom.
Ese
It roars and wishes like Olukun is on firre
The wind whirls as if Oya is perpetually angry
20 started on the journey
20 turned into 100 million
We asked if it is safe to come out
They asked was it safe to go back
I said that affairs are imcomplete
They said tht affairs have become unraveled
Ifa divination was done for the people of Heaven (Orun)
The same was done for their Afrikan counterparts on Earth
When they wanted to know what they need to do to be perpetually successful
The ancient diviners dug deep into the primordial wisdom of Isese (Ancient Traditionalism
The Isese told them they would build great buildings
They would build great walls
They would build great dams the would alter the course of great waters
They would author wars and they would end wars
They would be the only ones on Earth who would contact and manipulate higher energies
They would know the Arusi, the Orisha, the Vodu, the Mkisi, and the Abosom
They said that their greatness would not be able to be sen with the "naked eye"
But the ancient diviners warned them
That in some way and in some age
They would be stripped of all they had;
All that they created through the grace of Dada Segbo (The Creator)
Then the people of Heaven
Along with the people of Earth
Begin to be in distressed concerning the words of the ancient Isese
They asked the bokonons of the earth
What could they do to maintain the many achievments as told by the Isese?
The diviners contemplated the great Isese
They said that much sacrifice must be done at this point and AFTERWARDS
They all wished to know the sacrifice
The diviners said "You must agree that you will be successful and maintain it"
And for now this is the sacrifice
The people of the earth and the people of heaven said that sacrifice is easy
"But", the diviners said,
"There is also vossa (Fon for sacrifice) fo the future
is:
"You must maintain this success at all costs; you must never deny your oath with the deities of your people; you must never take on the ideology or gods of your perpetual enemy; YOU MUST NEVER be ignorant of who your enemy is!"
They said that vossa is good
But that they did not overstand the latter part thereof; of whom the enemy is
The diviners said " since you are not exercising the wisdom given to you by the greate Se, we will tell you further. Now listen.
There will come a day when the lifeless people will come to you
They will not be human but will have the appearance thereof; they are only animated beings
They will not look like you
They will not think like you
They will attempt to suck the life out of you
They will attempt to induce spirit only due to lack of one
They are the INCOMPLETE and many of you people will have different names
for them
Their skins will look as if bleached by some unholy force
They will have the outward appearance of disorder that their inner being speaks of
They will attempt to turn everything you do and have achieved into disaster
They will remain perpetually in oppostion to every aspect of your being
There will be a delusion set forth
And some will think that they are like you
Because they will STEAL everything you have if you let them
These people will be your perpetual enemy
They will want to see you die daily only AFTER they have exploited you (if you
allow it)
THEIR "SUCCESS" is dependent on your own RELEASE and RELINQUISHMENT
of your own divinity within you
Although there will be times when diplomatic measures are needed when
possible you are to ELIMINATE this scourge of the earth
Ultimately, the Isese is saying that at all times this scourge must NEVER be allowed in your personal and sacred space
The people of the earth and the people of heaven did all of the vossa
needed
And at this time the Incompletes, or the enemies, had not arrived
Things were good for 1000's of years
They were ruled by wise ones for most of the time
Though here and there they had those who would not adhere to the ancient
Isese concerning the perpetual enemy called the Incompletes
But then there came a time when Modakeke, one who is dead from the neck up
Took the throne and perpetually violated the taboos concerning the enemy
When Modakeke began to spread its folly
Both the people of heaven
And the people of earth
Begin to lose everything they had including their own divinity of self
Modakeke even allowed the enemies into their sacred space adn began to "befriend"
them
The primordial Isese was violated and this angered the divinities
These were the same divinities that the people swore the oath with
Modakeke's folly spread so that as time went on
This became the norm especially among the leaders and spiritual advisors
Then, as the ancient Isese had informed them
The Earth was as if it was off its pivot
Things that were abnormal became normal
The people of the earth began to watch all of the ancient glory go into disarray
The weak and abnormals, the Incompletes, began to take over their power and
divinity
They began to take over their possessions
The people of the earth ran to the diviners with incessant fear
They asked why the Great Se had forsaken them
The diviners of the Earth consulted the ancient oracles of the many Afrikan ethnics
All the oracles agreed and said the same thing
They said it was because of the disrespectul violation of the ancient taboos
imposed upon them
They told them that they had allowed their perpetual enemy, the Incompletes,
into their folds
That they have violated the ancient Isese
That they have LIED on the deities and the culture by selling their own people!
The people of the earth lost their divinity
They even began to sell their own people into slavery to the Incompletes
From this the Incompletes were able to build a pseudo-civilization on the backs
of the people of the Earth
Not only did this happen
They also began to sell their own ancient traditions to the Incompletes
The divinities told them that, as a collective people, they were in dnger of the
divinities leaving them forever!
They asked, "What can we do to RESTORE OUR BIRTHRIGHT?" What is the vossa?
They said to them, "You MUST stop you folly, confess your ingnorance, and ask the divinities for forgiveness. You must also stop you ASSOCIATIONS with the Incompletes."
The diviners also said that more importantly, "you must confront and eliminate the traitors among you at this time that set in this evil in motion!"
Until this day some have done the sacrifice and some have not
And the fate of the people of hte earth remains in question
