Mystery Message Of Initiation Mount Anubode

Summary and Conclusion

Africa is both literarily and figuratively the sick baby of the world in spite of being the origin of human kind. This is basically true also for all territories administered by Africans in the Diaspora.

The source of the deficiency is not in our stars or genes, but in the initiation rituals and potions that we ingest from childhood. “The rituals, potions, and hallucinogens, coupled with voodoo, witchcraft, magic, hypnotism, etc. would make any member of any race (not just Africans or Blacks) incapable of certain mental or intellectual capabilities. Fools or stupid people are not more among black people than others subjected to the same spells are.” (TAKE OVER CONTROL [TOC] p 12) The effect of this combination would not have been so lasting, but for the fact that we are shut out of the AVATAR.

We read little or nothing about our Avatar or logos (divine wisdom present in either our African language or ancestry). We read only of deified persons, heroes, or heroines and mythological images of Africa. “ANCESTOR” is the omnibus for all beings that existed in ancient past or dead parents. No one focuses on the Avatars or logos that distinguished themselves among ancestors. Their lives prove that one’s head is the true bastion in life. These are the roots of our religion.

We have Avatar in IZODUWA as for example. He is one whose personality is Divine Wisdom, whose immanence is explained in oral theology. He also could replicate himself.

Ughoton (GWATO in Edo State of Nigeria) is the village where he transfigured. The territory described is recognized today by both UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) and the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a historical monument. People still live there. The land is however not famous as a hallowed ground; this is in spite of it being recognized by most people that have been to the place as either the intersection of universes or the gate or threshold to ERINMWIN (the supernatural, incomprehensible, invisible and transcendental realms, Beings, forms, language, etc.) Such land in a sense is one of our ancestors.

Basis Of Our Religion
The population of our Ancestors is not homogeneous. There are avatars and logos among them. We were being shut out of thinking about these and relating to them in a progressive way. Not relating to them as vexatious spirits that must be appease or placated continuously.

We have been taught as colonized people to think that God is the synonym for Osa (abbreviation of Osanobua). Osanobua is a compound word formed from Osa n’Obua, meaning Osa the founder. One Osa founded the world. This is the one who strew or broadcast the primordial seeds of everything that grows all over land, oceans, and air. Another came to establish prosperity after the world had become uninhabitable by our primordial ancestors. This is the one that begot Olokun for example whom He appointed to administer prosperity on earth.

I cannot as Oboiro, unify in my mind and spirit, Osa and God as synonyms in the light of differences of Osa vis-à-vis God. (E.g. God having one child and Osa having many, God being jealous and Osa being non-jealous, God sacrificed his only begotten son and Osa cannot make sacrifices, etc.) These contradictions are reflected in our people being confounded and confused about our spiritual identity. The absence of a unified reference point in our psyche is the metaphysical black hole. There could be no foundation for a religious or uplifting spiritual experience. There being no unified reference point in the psyche, our people are spiritual wrecks who can neither lead nor be led! Result is that Africa and Africans at home or in the Diaspora remain the sick babies of the world. That the blacks, who make up about twenty percent (20%) of US population, make up about eighty percent (80%) of the prison population attests to this. More startling information are in my Book TOC.

The confusion arises from the contradictory roles of God or Osa in our lives. Believers in God has only one goal, namely to worship and love God. They leave everything in the hands of God who demands unconditional surrender. “Thou shall have no other God.” Compare that position to the African concept of the purpose of any relationships with the ancestors including the divine or supernatural. The overriding purpose is for one to maintain CONTROL over one’s DESTINY.

Theology of the African might be summed up as follows, “We are here to fulfill a personal agenda that one edited as one’s destiny before conception. The agenda requires that one develops appropriate skills and capabilities to achieve or rewrite one’s destiny. The ultimate result is that one realizes the potentiality to overcome death, and move to the next level of being, life, or existence. We will eventually leave this world at the last incarnation for the next without physical death. There is absolutely no role for Osa in the sense of God of Adam being in control of one’s life.
I was a confused person in my youth and before my divine initiation and wallowing in ignorance; I was one of those trying to manipulate Osa as if it were God thereby depriving myself of accessing the powers that sustain us. I was shut out of the religion that sustains me and the theology after which I could have ordered my life. The threshold to the roots of religion is at the unified reference point in our psyche as explained above.

But now know IZODUWA as Avatar or Key to the religion of my African Roots.

I was brought up in the religion of our colonial masters in Nigeria. That is Christianity. However, I was initiated into a masquerade cult before age ten. I had experiences decades later in W. Berlin. They were nightmarish encounters with images of African masquerades. I embraced Nordic Runic mysteries in an attempt to solve the problem. This was the third alternative to Christianity and African masquerade. I liberated myself. My newly acquired divination capabilities opened the world of all mysteries to me. These were beyond world of spirits of African Tradition Religion. The insight into the supernatural world resulted in my engaging in activities in Nigeria when I returned. These led to my being ordained OBOIRO at about age fifty. This was in 1990. Oboiro is a medium, transcendental diviner, metaphysician, creator of EBO.

MAIN OBSTACLE

I divined that identifying with Adam and the curse on his descendants was the most powerful obstacle to the realization of the religion of my roots. I divined further the source of some of the inspirations that would turn out to be IZODUWA of a legend in Benin kingdom (Nigeria). I realized who he is recently as I am working at present on a UNIFIED METAPHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS AND BASIC ATTITUDES OF THE AFRICAN. I moved consequently to Ughoton (GWATO in UNESCO records), the village where his transfiguration took place over a thousand years ago.

Izoduwa of ancient Benin Kingdom was born Ekaladerhan. He was the only son of Owodo his father, who was the ogiso (divine ruler or priest king of the kingdom then called Igodomigodo). His father who had many wives had him alone as child. He needed more. He sought solution from a diviner. Tradition tells us that the diviner was an oboiro. He was a fake because he relied on a device called OGUEGA for divination outside his person. This misled him into recommending that a human being be sacrificed. I would never advice that anything be sacrificed because my line of divination does not include the questions, “What should I sacrifice, and to whom?”

The fake oboiro advised that the first wife of ogiso be sacrificed. She manipulated the others in the delegation to the oracle to change the message, namely that Ekaladerhan rather than she should be sacrificed.

Ogiso ordered that the members of the delegation to the oracle should carry out in the jungle, the will of the oracle. The executors who knew the truth revealed it to him on the way and set him free. He was left to his destiny or fate in the jungle just as Moses was left to wander and die in the Sahara desert. He was thus cut off from the stream of living according to the dictates of the oracle.

He was left to his DESTINY. He had no adviser except his EHI (transcendental spiritual self, destiny, or controller of destiny accessible through one’s HEAD; guardian spirit). No one is really alone for any moment in life, because EHI was always present like one’s shadow.

He knew no peace until he realized the link between his head and his EHI. Revelation came to his consciousness immediately. He realized instantly that his destiny was in his own hands alone.

He decreed a new name for him which was IZODUWA, meaning “I choose the path of fortune”. He took over the control of his fate and changed it from that of one without direction, hope, or focus. His spiritual path transformed from the one determined by the oracle and mundane initiation and became the path of divine initiation that would result in fulfillment of the akhasẹ (logos) of that word Izoduwa. He started on the path of divine initiation that will conclude with him becoming an avatar as Izoduwa.

He found Eziza, the “old man” of the bush who initiated all would-be creators of entities, especially out of plants and reeds. The agents will nurture what the owner wills to fruition.

Izoduwa developed and attained the powers to communicate with the spirit or “destiny” of everything. This is the power that goes with becoming Oboiro. He hence learned the names of animals from them. Izoduwa could communicate with animals in their languages.

Izoduwa attained complete knowledge through transcendental or oboiro-divination. He could discern their destiny directly from source. He applied his powers to replicate him.

Izoduwa later metamorphosed to join avbe-osa by living this world for the next without physical death. People of the neighboring ethnic group observed one of his images with a staff descend from the sky amidst over four hundred deities. They asked the being what his name was and he answered, “Oduduwa”. They acclaimed the being their primordial ancestor.

Unlike Wodan, Moses, and Avatar of other lands, Izoduwa did not return in flesh and blood. His time has come as the deliverer now. He will guide through a different method of divination. This method is necessarily different from the one that led to his exile.

Meaning Of Divine Initiation Of Izoduwa

The real divine purpose of his being offered was to become an avatar that is to transform world history. We His descendants will follow his path of fortune and prosperity. Africa north and south of the Sahara desert produced the magic for those that rule the visible and invisible worlds. Recognizing Him and forming a team with Him now opened the threshold that shut us out from the religion of our roots.

There was a bomb alert recently in Benin City, Nigeria. A device was planted at the foot of the peripheral wall of the Edo House of Assembly. Some petit traders displayed their wares in the area. One of the potential customers noticed the strange object. He drew the attention of others to it, and the police was promptly invited. The police defused the device and announced the issue on television, saying that the explosive device had the power of “destroying everything with one to two hundred meters”. One of the women who displayed their ware there was interviewed. She confirmed the incidence and in concluding her narration filmed by the TV stations, concluded with, “WE THANK OUR HEAD, THAT THE THING WAS DISCOVERED IN TIME.”

I mentioned this concept in TAKE OVER CONTROL (TOC) as follows, “There is an annual festival in Benin Kingdom called IGUE FESTIVAL. The natives of Benin Kingdom anoint their heads and “pay homage” to it. Our people thank their collective heads annually during the festival for leading them through the preceding year successfully and without harm. Individual persons may perform a lesser ceremony any time of the year when an occasion warrants it, such as escaping uninjured or with minor injuries in an accident that claimed many lives. . . Thanksgiving proves Uhunmwun-agho (that “My Head is my ultimate focus deserving of my veneration”). .” (TOC p 65)

The reaction of the woman to avoiding being killed by a secretly placed bomb illustrates what I said. The issue now is the concept of self and the role of providence in the woman’s statement. I call it divine-HEAD what the woman called “our head”. The uncelebrated but true religion of the African is the UHUNMWUN-AGHO, meaning “Divine-HEAD alone is bastion of mastery of DESTINY on earth; it alone deserves veneration and thanksgiving.”

Many people including Africans do a lot to fortify the divine-head often without realizing it or acknowledging in. Any action taken by anyone to fortify one to meet one’s destiny is an act directed at the divine-head. The Benins (I am a Benin) attempt to affect the control of destiny by acting directly on the head. Baptism in every religion and other rituals performed elsewhere on the human head also serve the same purpose. It is clear from the above, that one should not allow every priest or spiritualist to fool around one’s head. It could make or mare your destiny.

This raises interesting questions such as about reincarnation. The head is born only once; so that one must necessarily begin with a new head in every incarnation.

Our people sometimes invoke their own heads to attack an identified human enemy. Is that a case of wanting one’s head to annihilate another’s head?

Some take oath in an attempt at proving innocence when accused, of lying for example. The person may in effect invoke the “head of all present” by saying worlds to the effect that the head of all those here present shall shut him/her from further progress in life if he/she was lying.

One may also pray that, “May your head bless me as my head shall bless you”.

In the light of the forgoing, what is it that shall be saved or go to hell fire? This illustrates the incompatibility of alien religions and ours.

I once was misled into writing about African Traditional Religion or Ancient African Religion and the like. (Some of my blog entries contain this.) I am now working on a UNIFIED METAPHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS OF AFRICANS. I have discovered new grounds in the process by discovering a true religion – NOT Traditional Religion (African or otherwise). I am working at the most hallowed ground in West Africa in Benin Kingdom. The area in GWATO (southern Nigeria) is recognized by UNESCO as a world historic site.

We have allowed ourselves to be manacled by surrendering to those who want to compel us to thinking only about the African in Religion, philosophy, metaphysics, etc. rather than religion or metaphysics in African thoughts and ideas (the former is on “attitudes, traditional or primitive, good enough only for the African”, the latter is universal). The concept of being and the universe as advanced in the West may not be the correct one after all. The future will tell as world metaphysics unfolds.
