The soul rejoices for what the body has lost. In this FOUR WEEK class, you will learn to:
When you pray for patience, OLODUMARE - the Supreme Being - will give you opportunities to PRACTICE patience. When you pray for courage, OLODUMARE will create opportunities for you to FACE your greatest fears. It was through the transcendence of their weaknesses that the ORISA were elevated to divine status. It is what I call SPIRITUAL INOCULATION. Like chicken pox or measles, you have to contract the disease in order to build up a NATURAL IMMUNITY. So stop spending so much time, energy and money trying to escape your discomfort! Instead, learn to appreciate fear, isolation and vulnerability as opportunities to explore and experience a unique journey into the heart of Awakened Personal Experience.
The primary concern of African Spirituality is DESTINY. When you know your destiny, you can overcome all human frailty and attain spiritual elevation. But what is destiny? Many talk about it but almost nobody can explain it. In this four week course, I will carefully introduce you to NINE DIMENSIONS OF HUMAN DESTINY, as defined by Orisa Lifestyle.
Destiny is the CRUCIBLE of Orisa Lifestyle. Past, present and future are fused into a unique reality that defines your ability to make a meaningful contribution to your life and the lives of those you're destined to serve. This course is part of your empowering journey. The 9 Dimensions of Human Destiny are:
The course is presented in a fluid series of video lectures, spiritual exercises, notes and an extensive course guide book to assist your journey. This course - which is derived from my year long, Personal Priesthood Certification program - has been thoroughly tested to ensure that you will be able to internalize each of the dimensions as they unfold, following a natural order. You have the option to progress as fast or as slow as you wish. Please understand that Orisa Lifestyle is an ancient tradition, rooted in a time-tested methodology and I draw upon well-established traditions that have managed to thrive throughout the African diaspora. These are spiritually based practices of the Yoruba people of West Africa. They came to the West via Trans Atlantic Slavery and transformed spiritual consciousness wherever they arrived. In Jamaica, they became the Zionist Revival movement. In the USA, Yoruba spirituality became the COGIC. In Cuba it became Espiritismo. Even in Nigeria, it became known as Aladura - Cherubim & Seraphim. In Trinidad, Grenada and Barbados, it is known as the Spiritual Baptist movement. Everywhere in the African diaspora, there is a SPIRITUALIST movement that reflects a fusion of African and Christian practices. My initiation into the traditional Yoruba priesthood was in 2003 in Nigeria.
- Experience FEAR as a great teacher.
- Rediscover ISOLATION as a gateway to transformation.
- Embrace VULNERABILITY as a pathway to empowerment.

- Akunleyan: That Which One Kneels to Choose, which can be altered through lifestyle and sacrifice.
- Akunlegba: That Which is received from the divinities while kneeling.
- Akosile: That Which is Written Down. This is the sacred text that guides your destiny.
- Ori Baba/Ori Iya: The Paternal and Maternal Soul. They are bestowers of divine providence.
- Ori Isese: The Ancestral Memory. This is your sponsoring ancestor, who accompanies you always.
- Ori Ode: The intellectual, psychological and creative mind.
- Ori Inu: The Inner Head, which is synonymous with character, virtue and essence.
