Ase is the energy imbued in everything created by Olodumare. Living and non living, seen and unseen. Everything is imbued with Ase Olodumare. That is the reason why the Yoruba bow down and worship all the creationS of Olodumare. If it has ase, it must be respected and the highest form of respect is worship.


If a thing's attribute is stable, then it may mean the Ase will be stronger in that area where it is stable. This may mean natural resources like mountains, rivers, trees, ocean and etc have strong ase that can be harnessed by those who know how.


When it comes to human beings. We are special because of our complicated nature and social skills which calls for a lot of balancing act and rationality which is the realm of Esu, the old man at the junction. Esu does not suffer fools gladly. You have to be straight as a rule to be on good terms with Esu. Iba o!. What can increase the ase of a human being is the practice of truth, brutal honesty always. The Awo have rituals and practices for ase enhancement. There are even preparations of different types of ase like Mayehun, Olugbohun, Gbetugbetu and etc. For some of them there are claims of high potency. Our ancestors used highly enhanced ase to protect themselves. For example, someone accosted by armed robbers can ask them to drop their weapons and go just like that and they will do just that. I read online where someone said he used one to stop an automobile from starting. He gave an example of a wrong use of it by a friend who used it to command a lady to UnCloth and the lady did that, a cheeky lady that could never have done such ordinarily, he did not touch her and it later led to a quarrel with the lady avoiding him henceforth and etc.


There are different ways of ASE enhancement but the natural way is the practice of truth. Someone who practice truth is bound to have ase on his or her tongue!. The very speech of such a person is ordained by Olodumare. So, the less you make lying and shady dealing a habit, the more powerful your ase is. You talk only when necessary and mean what you say exactly every time. That is a person imbued with Olodumare's ase of high potency.


Another way to look at is that if you are going to convince someone of something and make it last as an idea or ideology, it will help if you believe that thing yourself. For lasting success you have to believe fervently what you are trying to convince other people of. This inner conviction also helps the ase immensely. A milligram of fervent ase on an idea can make the idea infectious even if it is a ridiculous idea. One milligram will become a gramme, a kilograme, a tonne, millions of tonnes till everywhere is saturated. Examples of this abounds. Socialism, Christianity, Islam and etc are all good examples. This particular attribute of ase is the reason why many people including retired clergy and etc who have studied the Quran and the Bible thoroughly and extensively ave severally risen with the conclusion that Jesus the self acclaimed God cum son of God and Mohammed the self acclaimed last prophet were both mentally deranged folks. They were mentally unstable. They do not want to call them liars because it appears because they appear to have believed what they were spreading and what man with his faculties intact will claim to be God or last prophet which others can not become? Then go further to threaten unbelievers with hellfire? Only belligerent and bellicose people do such or mentally deranged people. This is why many scholars insist the two men were insane. Schizophrenic.


If they were not lying but spreading what they believed was absolute truth, then their ase would have been strong and growing stronger as a consequence. Mad people are imbued with Olodumare's ase as well and there are categories of insanity. So, ase can be dangerous. Jesus' own is holding billions to ransome today started as totally insignicant at around 25 AD, same with Mohammed's which started in the 7th century AD and both men, who were clearly mentally deranged have their ase holding billions of Earthlings in bondage nowadays. Such is the potency of ase. Such is the power in practicing truth always. Such is the result of believing yourself what you are trying to make others believe. It worked for two essentially insane men. Jesus and Mohammed.
