ARUOKUN-Revelation Of Mystery Of 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.
