For the Love of Transformation and the Transformation of Love into Higher Realities

Good heart
Is what gangan drum possesses  
That does not allow gangan to misspeak 
Good character is ones guardian of protection 
Cast divination for Araba of Ife 
Esu finished washing his Ori 
Araba may now wash the Ori of others
Aweda ma ni o 
The Ori the priests wash 
Aweda ma ni o 
Therefore, gangan o, when you possess a good heart 
You become close to the king 
Dundun drum
Is the drum of an elder 
If one does not know how to be flexible 
The world will not love one deeply 
- Holy Odu OturaIrete

​​The love and affection you share does not stop with the person toward whom you direct them. Love is an intensely inward, personal experience. At the same time, the act of loving generates a feeling of connectedness in more ways than you might anticipate. That is, because love is the primal and creative energy of the universe, you will find yourself drawn to a growing array of people, places and activities, according to your ability to embody the spirit of love. In animals and other life forms, the expression of this energy is limited to biological creativity (i.e., reproduction). In humans, however, the energy of love can be creative at all levels - physical, emotional and intellectual.

More importantly, in a traditional setting, as the journey of life and love begins to amplify your feelings of attraction, arousal, passion, sorrow or inspiration, your spiritual community will assign you a mentor, teacher or guide who will help teach you the skills necessary to direct your attention on the energy that you are experiencing, nourishing it for collective benefit. How can you experience this level of support in the digital age?

​More precisely, telecommunications - with its myriad forms of instant communications - promotes INSTANT GRATIFICATION. Consequently, internet and smart phones have certainly made it possible to accumulate more information at a faster rate, but fails to create the conditions necessary to INTERNALIZE the spiritual laws that govern authentic spiritual maturity.
