INTRODUCTION
The information you are about to receive from this reading of your Odu,
which was revealed during Itenifa ( Ifa initiation) is the workings of the
dynamic forces within you, which were formed by your emanation and at
the point of your existence on this terrestrial plane. Also, it bothers on the
cosmic forces that are spiritual and beyond your control.
The dynamic forces are your potentials, natural qualities and strength of
your character to be controlled in order to strengthen your public image and
boost your popularity. Whereas, the cosmic forces or components are from
Ayanmo, Akunleyan and Akunlegba, these three components are loosely
described as Destiny or Heavenly gift/virtues.
The Ayanmo is interplay to forces, which are usually divine, and in
consonant with the inventive precepts of Olodumare (The Almighty God of
creation). Ayanmo of your life cannot be changed. Once you are created
with it, it remains so till the expiration of your life on this planet earth.
Ayanmo includes sex of an individual, race, family, parent, growth, and
other natural rules of which an individual must tow and obey.
Akunleyan are the virtues and values chosen in heaven consequent upon
your actions/activities in your previous evolution or existence. They are
actually things chosen by you and most of the time form your likes and
dislikes or taboo.
Akunlegba are the gifts or virtues added by various Irunmole at the
presence of Onibode (celestial sentinel) in heaven or just before you
emanate into the world. They are like spices, additives, preservatives, and
vehicles of propagation of Ayanmo and Akunleyan or things that
complement the Akunleyan in order to fulfill your destiny on earth.
