According to this Ifa passage, if we hold onto flawed beliefs, our lives will become more stressful, and we will find it impossible to overcome the pressures of this world. However, if our belief is of high quality, it will detoxify us mentally and cause us to live in total awareness as we overcome the pressures of this world.
According to Ifa in the odu Osa-di, our beliefs should serve as a shield against life’s stresses, but if these beliefs are defective, they can’t protect us. It further teaches that defective beliefs are the type that can’t bring solutions to real-life issues. And when we embody such beliefs, when the harsh realities of life arise, they will overwhelm us because we will be defenseless and unable to withstand their force.
By nourishing our minds and intellects with high-quality knowledge like Ifa and other sacred knowledge, we can overcome the pressures of life whenever they arise. Thus saith Orunmila bara Agbonmiregun!
On the other hand, what your life is like today originates from your inner beliefs. This is not meant to ridicule anyone facing difficult times, but instead to encourage us all to critically reflect on the beliefs that we are holding onto, because our lives go in the direction of our beliefs.
