Comment on The Mathematics of how Ifa works…or should by Bro. Ralim El

Islam Greetings, Bro. I know what’s recorded in the circle7 Koran about the sacrifice of blood,however many of us resorted to the blood sacrifice when we began falling,we was not vibing on such a high tone anymore so we had to pull that energy from somewhere else and we began using animals. on another level level the animals that was to be sacrificed was the animal nature within us(lower self) the carnal things. Ifa deal with tones which is known as odus,Moslems under the teachings of Drew Ali must understand that the Prophet held a title of Egyptian Adept,so there was other sciences that he knew and understood,remember that the highest heights are reached by those who has traveled to the greatest depths. Always remember that these sacrifices are deities also and they are vibrating according to their ether plane…………….peace

Alafia,
I too had been searching for my true path in life for many years. Even though my religious beginnings where of a Catholic nature, I had been searching all through my young adult life for the truth about worshiping God our Universal Father. I challenged and questioned the truth behind Western and Eastern religious faiths, but was never satisfied with their answers or lack of, due to it’s blind faith practice, and the numerous inconsistencies of Fundamentalist priesthood doctrine secrecy, that are shrouded in secrecy. Tell you the truth, as early as age 7, everytime I attended church mass or lecture studies about the so called “Holy Bible,” I yawned from drowsiness, fatigue, or boredom and quickly fell to sleep. I was always blinking my eyes and rubing my face and asking my parents in wisper when would this session end. My parents and family always incouraged me to give it attention and importance, every Sunday or Holly week. I would recieve punishment with long angry stares, pinches to my body. I would also recieve threats with encountering the so called “Devil” to take me to hell and torture me and my eternal soul, for my unattentive behavior, and casted to stay in my room in darkness at night, awaiting judgement for my sins and miss-behavior. Often, I would recieve belt beatings in church bathrooms, in public and at home. I did believe there was a Universal father to all as a whole, but did not seem to believe and swallow the written stories of saints, the so called good intentions of apostale missionary work in indiginous, rural areas to be truth or that the 10 Commandments, were the definite law of the land. My curiosity to challenge the written word, biblical stories, men of the cloth and apostle missionaries, began with educating myself with the facts of world history. To make storie short I began to research how this faith came to be in my country of origin Medellin, Colombia-South America and my native, indiginous, ancestral people. I found that many of my post christianity ancestors worshiped nature, the sun, moon and stars at night. Many great Herbalists, like my great grandmother and so on. I have native south american heritage, as well as pacific and atlantic native carribean heritage, mixed with tribal African slave heritage brought to my country in the mid 1800′s by our colonists of Spain and portugal to Cartagena, Colombia, which I consider them to be all, my mixed blood heritage that runs in my veins, that came before me. When I finally came to path with genuine Ifa, I first experienced Sateria for a year. Only short term changes were aquired with no permanent long term positive changes in my life. Now you ask who told me about the path of genuine Ifa???- Lets just say that I have a greater than usual connection with my departed blood ancestors. They led me to finding the truth in my search of my life path and Empowerment. Now, I am 30 yrs of age and on the true path to fulfilling my destiny, I too needed to know my first step to practicing and empowering myself in the path of genuine Ifa. I highly recommend to acquire an “Itefa” or in English- “Life Path Reading,” but only by a highly qualified, experienced, knoledgable, successful, family oriented, good character Ifa priest or Priestess, such as Oluwo, Philip Neimark, who has read my very own, with the help of Orunmila-the great Meta-Intelect of all Knowledge and Wisdom in the Universe and who is second to Oludumare (god) or Universal father and creator, which I like to call him also.

Love& Blessings

I though the video was very informative was raised in the life and was told you could only get life reading if you were becoming a priest of ifa. As I got older did more research and found how they did it in ancient ifa with the birth of a child. I think people should consider gettin it done just to have alittle more stability in their lives.

I thoroughly enjoyed the explanation on The Life Path Energy. It has opened my eyes to many things. I am now beginning to understand the Orisha Faith and will definitely like to have a reading, now that I know it is not too late.

Exciting Topic.
Thanks a million.

Thank you for this, I had a Godmother who used palo, and well, lets just say I lost my trust and my faith… no one ver beleived me about her, and well as a result I no longer practice my faith.
