A Winner,
This review is from: Inner Peace: The Ifa Concept of Ori (Paperback)
When we find our spirits hungry and searching for an understanding of Self, we find books such as this falling into our hands. If you want to know yourself, understand yourself and your purpose in life, make an inquiry to your Ori. This is a must read, it possesses a vital key to unlocking the doors that has imprisoned one's true purpose and being. Baba Falokun has shared the importance of understanding Ori and its role in acquiring inner peace. He has shown how various experiences cause inner conflicts and he has shared exercises that would help aid in releasing those conflicts. This is a wonderful book for practitioners to use in a study group. It is helpful to a novice that is seeking because he not only shares with us the value of Ori, he also shares various aspects of the Yoruba tradition. Partake of the wisdom in this book and you will find Inner Peace.

Inner Peace The Yoruba Concept Of Ori,
By Awo KekeriEsu "Awo KekeriEsu" (New Orleans, L.a U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inner Peace: The Ifa Concept of Ori (Paperback)
This book gives a new meaning to self help. It's filled with exercises to help break old un-wanted habits. It is a must for any who will be initiated into the mysteries of Ifa/Orisha, or for those who have been initiated into Ifa/Orisha. Awo Falokun has done it again.

the value is in the accurate transmission,
This review is from: Inner Peace: The Ifa Concept of Ori (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, one of several by this author.
Background IS important, but only to show that lineage is authentic, and the teachings have been passed on accurately. The elders of Ifa are ofcourse black people but it cannot be relegated to being 'black man's science' or any of the other seeming compliments that hold within them inferiority complexes. Ifa as a practice is simply the aligning of earth with heaven, and it is one of the worlds great spiritual traditions. To learn ifa is to make the necessary attitudinal/spiritual adjustment in oneself to make the learning/understanding possible. It requires humility. The author is white, I a fan and reviewer am black, the information is what it is independent of either of us. Ifa faces much greater problems in the world...like misrepresentation for example. The whole world and their uncle knows the word juju...out of ignorance people back home and in the diaspora cling to juju with a kind of reverse pride... feeling that is 'their thing'...juju is a nonsensical word made concrete by generations of africans not knowing their own culture. Ifa is the spiritual practice and body of wisdom...I have been reintroduced to this faith by a white man...he was introduced to it by black elders. They welcomed him as a son of africa as they take all people to be...If they had any criteria other than humility and willingness to learn for teaching him, simply put they would not be teaching ifa. This is a good book and a treasure...the chapters are arraged in the style of teaching, summation and exercise. It is well done, this style can often unintentionally trivialise a subject matter or patronise a reader but not so here. I also admire that the author put out such a lucid and coherent piece despite some of the difficulties he was encountering at the time of writing this particular book. Well done, and worth your money.
