Tell me something i don't know pls.

chemystery:
OK, I'm glad you agree magic tricks exists. But I have just one question for you:

Is your levitation video done with a trick or supernatural power?

fckmn24seg:
Thanks IFA a gbe wa

Emmanystone:
I'm not a satanist sir. He beneath me. Jesus is Lord.

Emmanystone:
Lolzzz. I picked out MANIPULATE. In other words, you invade other people's spiritual spaces and manipulate them, which is very dangerous to them right?

chemystery:
If there are powers, if there is the supernatural that controls the natural, don't you think those who can harness these powers should be ruling over the world? I mean, don't you think the supernatural will rule over the natural?

Have you ask yourself...
Why does science explain things and solve problems readily than the supernatural?
Why are the most richest not those with supernatural powers?
Why are humans with supernatural not in seat of power in lieu of ordinary humans ruling over them?
Why does supernatural only find solace in hearsays and wishful thinking?
Why does supernatural take pride in levitating humans and making carved wood talk than solving human problems like inventing cure for HIV?

Will you take science serious if all it does is to make carved wood talk and levitate humans just to awe people?

Think bro, think!!!

What are life's benefits for seeing colors and light? Aren't we seeing colours and light with the natural eyes?

Hello Priest,

I never believed in deities or any religion aside Islam and Christianity until last week Friday when I came in contact with one IFA priest. I was amazed when he told me everything about me, the genesis of my problem through IFA. He didn't only tell me about my problems but he mentioned of the solution. To my amazement he proffer a solution immediately and the next day I saw a change.

We Yorubas don't appreciate what we have, we believe too much in Western religion . in those days when they people say Yorubas has the greatest culture in the world I don't understand what that means. It's high time we look inward and find solutions to our problems. Consulting IFA priest for devine solutions does not mean you are a sinner. IFA priest will not ever ask you to join them is worshipping or ask you to abandon your religion.

I'm not saying God does not exist or religion is not important or you should stop praying to God, all am saying is that sometimes God gives our problem solution in the hands of some other mini gods. I know a Christian lady got healed of a serious illness by a Muslim cleric (alfa) and Alfa child healed by a pastor. Harberlists has heals many people. Nothing is in this world if we can find solutions to our spiritual problems.

Cheers

Can we call a new IFA initiate a babalawo? Eniti o te ifa

I ASKED WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ‘ATR’

Konquest:
^^^^^^^^^^^


The terms Babalawo and Ifa Priest mean the
same thing. I see journalists and ignorant
people using Herbalist or native doctor to refer to
a Babalawo but this is false.


I'm not an adherent of Ifa Religion, but I have learned about
global/world religions and have been involved
in comparative religion studies for over 40 year
now. [You will be amazed that Persian Zoroastrianism, the religion of Cyrus the Great
is the origin of Judaism, Xtianity, Islam.
The so-called prophets in the old testament
referred to Cyrus as my "King of Kings"
and Cyrus, the emperor of the Persian Empire
was referred to by the bible God as "My Anointed. The Persians created Judaism as the colonial
masters of the Israelites who were never
monolithic but worshiped many Gods
called El"] Read the works of Prof. Mary Boyce
and other Near-Eastern scholars on this.



Onisegun = Herbalist
Ologun Ika = Negative/Wicked Person
who kills or harms people.



Babalawos or Ifa Priests do not use
people for rituals killings as it is a taboo
in their religion. It is the agents of colonialism
and the imported religions from Europe
and Asia that concocted the lies in order
to draw membership.


IFA Priest = Babalawo [equivalent of Pastor,
Monk, Imam, etc, in the Ifa Religion].


People are too timid to venture outside
the institutionalised religions they were
born into, so they allow fear to paralyze
them from asking questions about
other people. The more YOU know, the
more tolerant you will become.


Cuba has more than 10, 000 Ifa Priests
or Babalawos both black and white
Cuban adherents of the Yoruba Religion
or Ifa Religion.

What can you tell me about “Oyeku Meji”

As Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson took to the mound Monday night, he wore a rope-like necklace that may be nothing more than a fashion choice, but if he believes in the maker's claims, that may give him an "edge" against his opponents at bat.

It's not just Wilson; a surprising number of professional athletes have begun wearing the titanium-laced necklaces, including Rangers Derrick Holland, Mitch Moreland and Elvis Andrus.

The "edge" the necklaces' manufacturer, Phiten, claims to give is not proved, but especially for athletes, there is psychological value to an item worn consistently, rituals and superstitions, one sports psychologist says.

"For athletes, there's this unpredictability in sports. They never know how they're going to play, how the other team is going to play, so when you do something that's superstitious, like wearing a trinket, it gives you a greater sense of control," said Gregg Steinberg, an author of "Full Throttle" and professor of human performance at Austin Peay State University.

Some athletes' rituals have been well documented: Pitcher Turk Wendell wore a necklace made from the teeth of hunted animals.

Michael Jordan famously wore his college shorts under his NBA uniforms; third baseman Wade Boggs had to eat chicken before games and wrote the Hebrew symbol "chai," meaning life, in the dirt before batting.

The extra sense of control from the ritual leads to calmness, and calm leads to better performance, explains Steinberg. Whether there are any tangible, special properties in the lucky charm is just beside the point for a sports psychologist.

Fourteen-year-old baseball player Derek Halford of Baltimore says he got his own Phiten necklace when he was 11, after watching the pros wear them.

"Last season, I forgot to wear it to a game, and I called my mom to go get it, because I refused to play without it," Halford said.

This season, he says, he views the necklace differently, but only slightly.

"I probably would still play, but my mind would be all messed up. I probably wouldn't play as well. I probably wouldn't be focused on the game, because I'd be thinking about not having it on."

His first necklace was the plain kind -- selling for $36 -- but now he has upgraded to the newer, larger twisted-rope "Tornado," which costs $50.

Halford adds this self-observation: "I got it for the purpose of making me a better athlete, but now I use it just as a lucky charm."

Bill Burgos, an NBA strength and conditioning coordinator, says that he doesn't intervene when high-performers find value in lucky charms. "When guys have a certain way of doing things, you don't want to mess with that."

The Japanese manufacturer says its products, which include bracelets worn by some pro golfers, do have a special technology that sets them apart.

By fusing fabric with "a novel form of technology that involves metals broken down into microscopic particles dispersed in water" -- metals like titanium and gold -- Phiten is "able to realize customers' potentials in a variety of extents that leads to restore normal status of customers," says the company's website.

Claims like that -- and paid endorsements from 23 professional athletes in the United States alone -- seem to be enough to convince many athletes that it's better to be safe than sorry. Better to be mistaken than without.

"Phiten has used a pseudoscientific appeal in marketing their products. They talk about 'micro-sized titanium spheres' and other things that give the product the air of technology without any real science to back it up," explains professor Stuart Vyse of Connecticut College, author of "Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition."

The Lavidge Co., which represents Phiten U.S.A., could not provide any published studies finding a medical benefit from wearing its metal-infused necklaces and bracelets.

"Baseball players and others who engage in superstitious behaviors understanding that they have no scientific support are likely to say 'I just don't want to take a chance,' " Vyse said." And they get an emotional benefit from doing something that makes them feel like they have greater control. Even when that feeling is an illusion."

I have a feeling Babalawos is a funky young man who wears jeans and tshirt, drives a Mercedes Benz and is very Y2k compliant. He is the sort of person that you will never have an inkling of his profession by merely looking at him.
