We are a miniature form of the creator. Image of the creator is what we are as individuals. According to the Yoruba theology, when Olodumare want to embark on anything, he will summon his Awos for consultation

Maynnmann:
But you know in yoruba mythology, Olodumare is aloof.
It was obatala that created humans and earth with the help of Olodumare first born, orunmila.
And in yoruba mythology, Olodumare is not the only supreme god, olokun is also at par with him.

lawani:
Forming the head which Obatala was said to have done is not creation. You create yourself before setting out to be incarnated. You do that at the domain of Ajala mopin

Olokun is the deity that is resident in the ocean. Olu okun Lord of the seas.

Maynnmann:
He created human not just head. Where you getting your info from?
Olodumare is Aloof he doesn’t concern himself with humans or earth, where you getting your information from?

Obatala also created Earth. I’m not talking about incarnation.
What you said about “ajala mopin” is FALSE. It is ajala mopin that forms the head not “setting incarnation”.

lawani:
Olodumare is not a meddler and neither is he aloof. You are the main force in your own creation of your character while God is the creator of your destiny. What you are us created by you and your surroundings but more by you. Your destiny is created by you and your surroundings. More by your surroundings under the pre destination of God

Maynnmann:
False.
Olodumare is aloof and doesn’t concern himself with earth and humans, it wasn’t his idea to create humans or earth, it was obatala and orunmila idea. He passed the duty on earth to Orishas.
Destiny means something has been predestined before you were born. How then can i have created it?
God is a title not a person, the Israelite god is called Yahweh while yoruba god is called Olodumare.

You yourself before being incarnated you were an irunmale like Olodumare but your status would be lower. However the main difference between you and Olodumare is that you are being incarnated while Olodumare will never be. Olodumare in council know the end from the beginning while you are free to make your own plans in-between which changes nothing from Olodumare's overall plan. Can the conduct of one errant or hardworking staff change the overall result that the management of a corporation will get?

Maynnmann:
False, show me where you pulling this from? Hope it’s not from your ass?

lawani:
It is in the Ifa corpus. In Ofun meji
We start where we end
Was the Ifa divination for the new born who knew nothing at the beginning of his life. He was advised to be honest and do the right thing always and he would be supported by Olodumare
He listened to the ritual items and complied.

At the end of his life the newborn who knew nothing had become the old man who knew much and he lived his life supported by his Ori and by Olodumarw and upon his death he returned to Orun to become one of the innumerable irunmales that would again be reincarnated as the newborn who knows nothing.

Thus is how we continue the cycle of reincarnation until we reach the state of Apeere the state of perfection
