Diving into the realms of Ifa, Spirituality, and Religion invites us to unravel a profound tapestry of beliefs. While some perceive them as interconnected, others view them as distinct. However, a nuanced understanding reveals that they belong to two primary ideologies — religion on one side and spirituality, along with Ifa, on the other.
To comprehend the essence of these ideologies, it’s vital to explore their historical roots. Religion, often criticized for dividing humanity, wasn’t designed to foster connections between mankind and spirit. Rather, it became a source of discord, evident in the multitude of religions fostering low tolerance for alternative beliefs and even contributing to historical wars. The subtle damages inflicted by religion make it an imperfect avenue for those seeking a cosmic connection. While arguments suggest that without religion, the world might descend into anarchy, spirituality emerges as a force promoting unity and community. Unlike religion, it hasn’t been a catalyst for wars or mass destruction. Spirituality offers a lens to understand the reasons behind such negative events, a topic we’ll explore in a future write-up — the symbiotic relationship between existential intelligence and Ifa.
Karl Marx’s famous assertion that “religion is the opium of the masses” holds weight, especially when recognizing the distinction between religious and spiritual individuals. Here lies the crux — IFA emerges as a manifestation of spirituality, perhaps the most comprehensive form. It’s essential to dispel any confusion; Ifa stands apart due to language barriers, regional practices, and the depth of practitioner knowledge. In a Harvard study named the “Prediction Project” (2017-2020), Ifa, alongside manifestations like Astrology and Tarot, stood out. What sets Ifa apart is the prerequisite for practitioners — a minimum of 15 years of training.
So, what is Ifa?
It’s a profound question, and the Ketus Ifa Institute endeavors to offer a daily deepening of understanding. Ifa is more than a concept; it’s a repository of information predating time itself. It encompasses everything — past, present, and future — guiding one’s knowledge and understanding of life.
