One vision, one family,
one great community
of people who know we are
part of something larger than ourselves.
Across the Nation and around the
world, a growing movement of
people is creating positive change by
choosing to live, to love and to learn
in ways that invite spiritual
consciousness to permeate
everything we do. This single choice
leading to;
• Greater freedom from self doubt
and fear
• Increased self acceptance and
inner peace
• More joyful experiences and
meaningful work
• Deeper purpose and personal
fulfillment
We are CATALYSTS. Our combined
wealth of knowledge, resources and
experiences has the potential to
improve life for 100% of humanity
without ecological or cultural
offence.
Let us do things with joy.
Those who want to go, let them go.
Those who want to stay, let them stay.
Surely, humans have been chosen
to bring good into the world.
The all-knowing one, priest of Òrunmìlà,
Cast Ifá for Òrunmìlà.
He said the people of the world would
come to ask him a certain question.
He said that Òrunmìlà should sacrifice.
Òrunmìlà heard and complied.
One day, all kinds of people; good people and
those who do not allow good
in other people’s lives gathered together.
They then went to Òrunmìlà.
They said coming back and forth to earth
tires us, Òrunmìlà.
Therefore, please allow us to rest in heaven.
Òrunmìlà said you cannot avoid
going back and forth to earth
Until you bring about the good condition
that Olódùmarè has ordained
for every human being.
After then, you may rest in heaven.
Imagine being able to share the wisdom, truth
and beauty of Yoruba religion, without any of
the stigmas and stereotypes.
Imagine being able to influence and enrich
your professional and social circles – including
family, clients and community – by actively and
OPENLY infusing the organizing principles of
Ifá and Òrìsà into everything you say and do.
Imagine what we could do if all the
professionals – the doctors, lawyers, teachers,
social workers, counselors and entrepreneurs
– in the òrìsà community were part of a single
network.
Imagine the ways in which we could facilitate a
positive vision, inspired by shared optimism,
focused on improvement and rooted in
excellence.
It’s up to us to unleash our collective power
and potential, and manifest our natural
gifts and talents.
True to our character, we cannot be satisfied
with getting halfway there.
Only together, can we bring about the Good
Condition.

Editor's Notes

  1. Irosun Iwori
  2. Conversely, the inability to share who you are threatens your authenticity. It inhibits the truthfulness of your self expression. It prevents you from being able to align EVERYTHING in your life with your authentic, original thought.
  3. The people you serve are looking for truth. They want
  4. Bring together the best and bring out the best in the best
  5. The Nigerians, Cubans, Venezuelans, cannot teach us how to solve our problems in Oakland, Chicago, Houston and New Orleans. They can show you how to chant verses, play drums, sing songs and prepare rituals. But then what?
  6. Irosun Iwori
  7. Environmental (Green): Protecting and restoring the ecosystem (e.g., climate change, preservation of natural resources, prevention of toxic waste) Economic: Operating profitably so as to be able to continue operating for years to come Social: Acting as if other people matter (e.g. poverty, violence, injustice, public health, etc.) Cultural: Protecting and valuing cultural diversity and protecting those actions through which communities manifest their identity and cultivate tradition What do you NOT see? Now, put on your òrìsà x-ray glasses. What deities do you see in each?
  8. Building trust in me and who I have been up to this point in order to demonstrate and communicate the need to trust in òrìsà and our ancestors in the formation of collective wisdom and action. Organization builds confidence and trust
