How Orunmila Spied On Almighty God by Babalawos(m): 1:35am On Mar 17, 2017 |
Orunmila had always wondered why it was that the Divinities of witchcraft, Death, Night and Day had so much authority (ASE). He was obviously jealous of them and was anxious to acquire similar powers. He went to his heavenly Awos to find out what to do. They were called:- Mera Tori ute kemi ya gun ori ute. They disclosed to Orunmila that the four divinities he was jealous of were the only ones authorised to keep watch when the Almighty God takes His bath. Night, Day, Death and Witchcraft, keep vigil when God takes his bath. The first crow of the cock early in the morning marks the time when Almighty God begins to have his bath. The second crow of the cock marks the time when Almighty God finishes bathing. The two Awos told Orunmila that if he could take the risk to spy on Almighty God and see him bathing, he would be automatically endowed with the same ASE that the other four divinities have. He was however told to give a he-goat to ESU, who would assist him. He was also to offer sacrifice to the Night and to Death. He did the sacrifices. He was to give a rabbit to the Night and a goat to Death. He subsequently obtained supportive clearance from his own guardian spirit. Thereafter he wore his garment which makes him invisible and took a position on a ladder over-looking Almighty God's bathroom. When God got ready to bath, He took his calabash bowl to take water but it fell from His hand. He tried a second time and it also fell from His hand. He immediately concluded that there was a spy around. The Divinities of witchcraft and Death, having been pre-emptively bribed with sacrifices by Orunmila, refused to give him away even though they saw him spying. They reassured the Almighty Father that there was no spy around. Orunmila had meanwhile already seen Almighty God's nude and he had acquired the power and authority he wanted. Convinced that there was a spy around, Almighty God discontinued His bath and went into His inner chamber to look at the mirror with which he scans heaven and earth. It was then, He saw that it was Orunmila who tried to spy on Him. Almighty God immediately ordered Death to pursue and apprehend Orunmila. When he discovered that Death was on his trail in hot pursuit, he used his newly acquired powers to conjure the shrubs to conceal him. Thereafter to passed without seeing him. When he came out to return home, death saw him and continued to pursue him. When he ran up to the river, he asked the Fishes to conceal him and they did when Death came to the river, he realised that he had come to the end of his pursuit. He went back to report mission unaccomplished to Almighty God. From that day Orunmila acquired the power to do and undo things. When this Odu appears at Ugbodu, the person should be told that he would travel to important places including overseas and that spying would do him a good tum. This work was inspired by LATE DR. C.

Hello to all, Although I have my reserves concerning this e-babalawos, i think some of you guys take this issue from an incorrect perspective. Legends mythologies and stories like these are never meant to be understood literally. They are initiatic stories formulated to vehiculate mystical secrets to the learners, while protecting the secrets to the non initiated. Scoffing and mocking these stories because of their illogic nature, is from my perspective, unwise and incorrect. Again, it is only an opinion. Greetings. 5 Likes 1 Share |

PastorAIO:Moses said to God: ''Please, let me see Your glory'' (i.e.''I pray You, show me Your glory!'') God replied Moses: ''I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. But you cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" God further said: ''Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen'' Underlined in your mention is fact and a stark nayked truth - sorry about the pun PastorAIO:myth and invention |

orisa37: I believe the OP is taken from a book by Osamaro Ibie which has a tendency to conflate a lot of Ifa teachings with Christian terminology. But hey, all religions probably start out that way. Afterall we can see before our eyes people reading the bible and conflating it with the cultural perspectives of their tribes. Just recently Muttley Laff told as that Saul was a Yoruba man and when he asked whose father David was he was asking it in a Yoruba sense. Not long ago I met someone in a thread that refused to believe that Jewishness is passed down through the mother because in her village it is unheard of that ancestry should be considered through the mother but it is always through the father. This is why I say that bible is probably a useless book for most Nigerians. 1 Like |

PastorAIO:Conceited? Check. Wrinkled hope? Check. Dreamer? Check. PastorAIO:Pinocchio? Check. You're desperately and wonderfully just so predictable PastorAIO:The Bible is a universal book from a Jewish view & standpoint because God came down to earth as a Jew, lived on earth as Jew, preached on earth in Hebrew, Aramaic and possible to some extent Greek languages |

What are the meanings of the goat sacrificed to Esu and death, the rabbit given to night and I am assuming one needs the backing of his guardian angel. Esu is seen as the Lord of the right and left is that why he is necessary in this endeavour. After beholding the unveiled image of God (a secret not meant for the living) what is the meaning of the pursuit of death and how it was evaded |
