This is exceptionally important to understand. Each generation, every culture has had to deal with its own set of supremacists trying to impose their will on others. Ifa, by correctly viewing our relationship with the world as symbiotic, rather than parasitic, was able to identify the energy matrix of the whole.and our individual place within it. While virtually every other major philosophy and, indeed, culture, has seen the universe as something they can shape to their will by force or coercion, Ifa understood we were simply part of this incredibly intricate complex of living things and energies. Ifa understood that by working within this matrix, rather than in opposition to it, we safely and successfully live our lives
