WHY DO WE NEED TEMPLES – REALITY OR LIES?
Many centuries, various cultures have found alternative ways to practice orisa and Ifa which influenced many of us to practice today. But, living in modern time why is it necessary for us to continue living in hiding under or behind bullshit stigmas? Why is it necessary for us to go outside our homes to build churches and call them temples of Ifa? What is happening to the freedom of religion? What is happening to touching the sources in nature – orisa in their own elements? Why are people so much in the need to belong to a brick-mortar? At the end of the day, they still can’t get but 1% and no life insurance plan? Beside the word, TEMPLE basically refer to an institutionalized and organized religion process and procedure to honor a supreme statue of some-source and not the god within, which is patrolled by the governmental body or some type of figure head that will enforce dogmatic gender separatism and push man-made doctrine and agenda (irosun meji). The first time the word “TEMPLE” appeared was in the Old Testament which was Hebrew (hay-kawl) and in the New Testament by Greek (hee-er-on and nah-os). The word “TEMPLE” was where the original temple of god in Jerusalem that was patterned after “The Tabernacle in the Wilderness”, which was completed by King Solomon about 950 B.C.. It survived over 360 years before it was destroyed by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C.. In other words, don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s Temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy him; for God’s Temple is sacred, and you are that Temple.” (from the bible – 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV)? Why are we accepting this practice of IFA in this form – brick-mortar church/temple? Have it come to be a continuation of mentality manipulation and brainwashing that people are solidly embracing that they need a man image of god to guide them? What is happening to SPIRITUALIS
M?
