Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now
have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Epicurus
You throughout this post are going to hear the terms Respect of Elders meaning first,
Olodumare is our Isese, Our mother and fathers, is our Isese. Our Ori is our Isese, our Ifa
and Orisa are our Isese and our Ancestral lineages is our Isese. We are seeing that therein
many communities a growing disregard of our traditions and cultural rituals and more
religious procedures because either because they are embarrassed by the rituals
juxtaposition too Ero-centered cultural mindset; or they-priests were never taught many of
the age old rituals or the worst being that their belief systems and faith are not grounded in
this tradition thus their relationship to Olodumare, Ifa, and Orisa are centered in power
motivations and egoist trips of character. However, it suffices to says that just because
some do not teach this does not mean that it does not exist.
