Understanding Ori Consciousness in Ifa Tradition

Ori is the Yoruba word for the vessel that processes conscious thought in Ifa tradition.
Consciousness in Ifa is an integration of thoughts and emotions, which creates ori ire or wisdom.
Ori has four distinct arenas of perception that encompass internal experience, relationships, past, and future.
These four modes of consciousness are symbolized by a mandala, which is a universal symbol of the self found in many religious traditions.
Ifa techniques to train the ori are taught through codes of behavior and participation in rituals.
Ifa divination invokes the four quadrants of the mandala to identify the client's spiritual lesson and direct them towards ire or solidified dogma (ibi).
Ibi is a resistance to change and a solidification of dogma, which requires full-time effort and can lead to premature death.
Ebo is used in divination to break the bonds of ibi and free the ori from self-imposed restrictions.
Staying stuck in ibi leads to idolatry of the problem and a distorted vision of reality.
Transforming ibi into ire tends to solidify it in one of the four quadrants of the Ifa mandala.
Ifa divination is rooted in the idea of conquering the enemy within and expanding consciousness.
Ifa is taught in the extended family, where everyone takes on the responsibility of being a mentor and teacher to younger generations.
