Iwori Meji Odu Ifa speaks about human consciousness and how it plays a vital part in our journey towards creating good character Iwa Pele. Having good character is a positive trait that is very important to the continued development of ourselves as individuals and important when interacting with others.
Our consciousness helps us to be aware of ourselves and our environments; awareness of our thoughts, our feelings and our behaviors; in essence our consciousness defines who we are.
Our consciousness can definitely be influenced by the environment in which we grew up in or by the environment we currently live in. However, this does not mean that it cannot be changed or shifted towards a better and improved positive direction.
The human brain is constantly physically changing due to our experiences, our thoughts, and our feelings. The more you think in a positive way the more positive experiences you will have.
These positive experiences will make you feel positive emotions which physically changes and structures the brain. This is why repetition of a certain behavior will eventually become a habit. You can drop old habits and create new and improved positive habits by repetitive effort.
Being aware that through repetitive positive behavior any person no matter what their back ground, their history and experiences have been will change the way they think, their behavior and lifestyle to a better and improved positive lifestyle. A person’s character at a point in time in their life does not dictate how the rest of their life will be.
Being aware is the first step towards making good positive changes in our lives, starting from within ourselves, in other words working on ourselves from the inside out.
We have the ability to control what we become in this world simply by believing we can. It all starts with a desire to do so and holding that thought in our minds with a strong desire and mixed with consistent faith will inevitably manifest the positive things we desire in our lives.
Iwori Meji speaks about blessings of good luck, blessings of family, love and support, blessings financial opportunities; Ifa advices to always make the effort to maintain good conduct and good character so that Ifa can provide these blessings. Ifa advices to continue offering ebo to Ifa to ensure continued blessings on our lives.
Iwori Meyi speaks about logical thinking and the ability to analyze a situation to determine or come to conclusion of right and wrong from a moral perspective. Understand this ability and use it to make good decisions in all things you get involved with.
Iwori Meyi speaks about feeling and expressing gratitude and appreciation for everything we have. Demonstrating appreciation to other people in our lives, for what they mean to us and what they have done for us. Understanding and appreciating the abilities we possess to do what we are able to do in our lives; appreciating the opportunities that have been set before us that have put us where we are; and appreciation for our human consciousness and awareness.
Iwori Meyi speaks about helping others that are in less fortunate positions than ourselves; there are many ways to help someone, not just donating material things or money; the most impactful way we can ever help others is to show them the way towards a better and improved more positive life.
Iwori Meji advices us to know our boundaries and be respectful of other people all the time. We must make an effort to not get involved in the things that do not concern us. Doing so has the tendency of impacting us in a negative way.
