IMORAN : HUMAN WILL AND REASONING

TODAY I DISCUSS THE CONCEPT OF IMORAN (HUMAN WILL AND REASONING/INTELLECT). THE CORE IS THAT SUCH IS TO BE APPLIED PRIOR TO OR INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY SEEKING DAFA (DIVINATION) IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. OR, AS I ADD, AFTERWARDS. I REALIZE THAT SUCH REMAINS AN ANTITHESIS TO THE CURRENT DIRECTIVE OF DEPENDENCY (POST ENSLAVEMENT) AS A RESULT OF SYNCRETISM AND COLONIALISM. YET AS THE ODU-IFA OSA-IWORI STATES: WISE DELIBERATION AND DISCERNMENT MUST PRECEDE (OR TAKE THE PLACE OF) DAFA. THE ODU-IFA CONTINUES: IF ONE IS HUNGRY ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO DIVINE IN ORDER TO EAT OR IF BEING CHASED BY A LION ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO DIVINE IN ORDER TO RUN. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE DEEPNESS OF THIS PRAGMATIC APPROACH TO IFA/ISESE.
