- You are not your Orisa
- You will not become your Orisa - Orisa does not govern Ori
- Orisa supports ori
- Akunlegba is that which is accepted from Orisa while kneeling to choose destiny
- When an initiate dies, Orisa is removed, but Ori remains
- Every Orisa venerates ori - Ori chooses your destiny
- Akunleyan that which you choose kneeling
- Akunleyan is prenatal choice
- Every choice you make either supports or diminishes your akunlegba - Identity is destiny
- Identity is the seed consciousness
- The seed's single objective is to expand and grow - You are not your Odu
- Your Odu reveals your fate
- Fate is what must happen for your destiny to be fulfilled
- Your fate is not your destiny - Ifa does not tell you your destiny
- Ifa tells you your fate - Ifa says that humanity is Eniyan
- Eniyan is a 4 fold being; body, heart, spirit and mind - Ifa says the fate of Eniyan is to help bring about the Good Condition
- No matter what your Odu is, which Orisa you serve or which tradition you practice your mission is identical; the Good Condition. - Personal Priesthood is the unique way in which you can make a meaningful contribution to the Good Condition.
- Personal Priesthood is a 3 part practice:
- Self Discovery: What are your natural gifts and talents?
- Daily Discipline: The small things you do every day that help you perfect your natural gifts and talents.
- Sacred Service: The people or cause you are destined to serve with your natural gifts and talents.
