IWORI MEJI OR EJI IWORI (3)

Iwori meji speaks of the capacities to tap the mystical force embedded in human body or human nature, to bring into manifestation his good destiny from his spiritual realm. The odu speaks of total concentration and complete attention to man spiritual state, it speaks of fundamental attributes to be able to use the mental forces in the most efficient, effective and dynamic form. Iwori meji speaks of humility, silence, intention, attention, to really go deep down into indwelling spiritual force embedded in human image.

The concept of iwori meji, according to Ifa mythology, is the energy that speaks of TRI-DIMENSIONAL FORCES THAT CONNECT US DIRECTLY TO OLODUMARE (OWNER OF ALL ENERGIES) AND DIVINITIES. IWORI MEJI is the TRINITY OF ODU (THE TRINITY OF ENERGY). Indeed, it is the third energy that emanates in the corpus of IFA DIVINATION.

It is the energy that brings all human to the oneness with divinities and transforms our mental state to attract the POWER OF OLODUMARE. The odu teaches us to understand that a good head or a good destiny is a direct substance of GOD’s supportive power and the ability to use GOD wisdom to overcome all adversities.
