In this Ifa lesson, Baba Umar explores Odu Eji Ogbe and the sacred Ẹsẹ̀ Ifá teaching about the instructions Olódùmarè gave to Ọ̀rúnmìlà and the Ìrùnmolẹ̀ about how all beings should behave in the world. You will learn about the important relationship between Destiny, Òrì, and character.

This deep dive into Yoruba culture and Ifa practice is designed for those seeking spiritual growth and a return to ancestral ways of being. In this lesson, we delve into how to do your part in bringing about the Good Condition that Olódùmarè has prescribed for the world.

Baba Umar explains the Spiritual Significance of the Ẹsẹ̀, the Core Spiritual Themes, the Core Message, Historical Context, Philosophical
Implication, and the Moral and Communal teachings of the Ẹsẹ̀.

This Ẹsẹ̀ reveals that by thinking wrongly, acting carelessly, and ignoring truth you are already planting suffering on your path. It also highlights the path to avoiding this suffering.
