Wise words from an Ifa Babalawo

"A child worships other peoples deities. He banishes those that belong to him. He despises his heritage and offers sacrifice to foreign deities. But one can only receive favors from ones own deities. One's families deities deserve to be worshipped". How can the immensity called "god" only be revealed to various cultures in one way?
...In my opinion as long as africans worship in a xtian or muslim way we will always take less from earth. Our entire way of life is backward. This is a fear based way of life hence the need for an artificial feeling of control. Control of woman, control of cultures it's ridiculous, we control nothing but what and how we think, and that control we have surrendered to our slavemaster.
This was in our ancestors cases not always by choice, it's genesis was fear based and it's continuance is also fear based. I salute my people who through trial and tribulation fight to throw off fear and embrace our common ancestors once again. No matter which african way you choose. You are entitled to all because you posess all by blood.
