OLOKUN AND EGUNGUN

ABORU ABOYE

INDEED ALL DIVINITIES AND DEITIES IN THE PHYSICAL STATE OF EXISTENCE ARE PRODUCTS OF HEAVENLY BEINGS. NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE PHYSICAL STATE WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING AND EQUAL MANIFESTION OF IT IN THE SPIRITUAL STATE OF EXISTENCE.

OLOKUN AS A LORD OR QUEEN OF THE OCEAN IS THE VIVID REPRESENTATION OF EARTHLY WEALTH AND PROSPERITY THAT RESIDES IN THE OCEAN OF LIFE.  AND ALL HEAVENLY BODIES ARE CALLED EGUNGUN, THE SPIRIT OF ANCESTORS LIVING IN THE HERE-AFTER OR ORUN.

REMEMBER THE WORD OF IFA:
AKI LEGBE LAYE, KI AMA NI TORUN, TI EGBE ENI BA DANI IRE LAYE, AWON EGBE TORUN RE A BA GBA, ALAGBEDE ORUN NDANA OWUN LAYE, BENI ALAGBEDE ORUN DA TI RE LORUN.

MEANING:

EVERY LIVING BEING HAS HIS EQUIVALENT BEING IN THE HEAVEN. WHENEVER WE START THE LIGHT OF BLESSING ON THE EARTH PLAIN, THE HEAVENLY PARTNER OR BEING PICKS THE RADIATION OR THE VIBRATION.

WHEN A BLACKSMITH STARTS THE FIRE TO REDUCE THE MENTAL INTO LIQUID ON EARTH, THE SAME PROPORTION OF FIRE RADIATION IS ESTABLISHED IN THE HEAVENLY REALM TO REDUCE THE MENTAL INTO LIQUID FORM.

WHAT THE ABOVE EXPLANATION IS TELLING US, IS THAT, ALL PHYSICAL AND VISIBLE THINGS IN THE PHYSICAL REALM, HAVE EQUAL HEAVENLY BEING, INCLUDING THE DIVINITIES THAT CAME TO AYE AKAMARA, THE WORLD OF MYSTERIES.

HOWEVER, WHILE EGUNGUN SPEAKS OF THE SOUL OF THE DEPARTED FAMILY MEMBERS TO ORUN AND IT IS AN EMBODIMENT OF THOSE SOULS THAT HAVE DEPARTED TO THE LAND OF THE ANCESTORS, WHICH CAN BE MALE OR FEMALE, OLOKUN IS THE SPIRIT OR DEITY OF THE EXPANSIVE OCEAN THAT DEALS IN THE BLESSING OF WEALTH, RICHES AND PROSPERITY. IT ALSO DEALS WITH MONEY AND GLAMOROUS ISSUES OR ORNAMENTAL OR DECORATIVE FEATURES OF THE WORLDLY THINGS.

IN REALITY, OLOKUN HAS LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO WITH EGUNGUN, BUT OLOKUN IS THE REINCARNATION OF ONE VIVID DEITY FROM THE HEAVEN TO THE WORLD, WHILE EGUNGUN DEALS WITH TRANSITION OF HUMAN SOUL FROM THE PHYSICAL STATE OF EXISTENCE TO THE SPIRITUAL STATE OF DWELLING.

REMEMBER THAT EVERY BEING MUST ALWAYS OFFER SACRIFICE TO THE SOUL OF THE BELOVED ONES, AT LEAST THREE TIMES A YEAR AS WAY TO BRING THEM INTO ACTUALITY, AND MAKE THEIR SOULS FILL WITH JOY,

THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CARES FOR THEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT PRESENT PHYSICALLY.

IT SHOWS, HOW THE LIVING CAN APPRECIATE THE DEPARTED SOULS AND ALSO SHOWS THE LEVEL OF LOVE AND HARMONY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEPARTED.
