ABORU ABOYE !!!

A special relationship exists between Olodumare, Orunmila and Esu, one that requires deep
knowledge of information theory to unlock.

Let's unlock it!

It's old and well-known that human wants are infinite but resources are finite. Consequently,
we must make choices. To choose correctly, we need information - lots and lots of information.
Olodumare is in possession of universal information or Ase - the past, the present and the
future. This is why we say information (Ase) is power. Olodumare gives the power of
information control to Orunmila, who uses his knowledge of Ifa divination to produce
information for the supplicant to make better choices. While Orunmila is endowed with the
power to manipulate binary codes, in Odu Ifa, to produce information, Esu (the governor of the
T-junction) is endowed with the power to control choice or decision making process. There are
256 paths to Esu, symbolizing the 256 bytes or possibilities in Odu Ifa. Consequently, it's
incumbent upon a good Awo to recommend offerings to Esu in order to guide the supplicant's
Ori to the right path or choice.

You have the epistemology. You have the philosophy. You have the science. They are all
reposited in Odu Ifa. Study it!
