Erinmwin is anything or concept that is above human understanding. It includes among others, the supernatural or paranormal, any incomprehensible event, concept or language - including that spoken in the spiritual worlds - invisible and transcendental Beings or Ih?n that include primordial ancestors of humankind, and aliens - extraterrestrial beings. Orinmwin or corpse is not intended when we read or speak about ?rinmwin of Okenanubode.

The ikor is the person, entity, spirit form, institution, organization, or being who monitors the victim closely, every step with the sole purpose of frustrating the victim’s every attempt in life. The ikor seeks to be the God/god of the victim, who determines the victim’s fortune and future. He/she could be an oracle, member of the priesthood, members of religious and other orders, etc. The ikor preys only on “friends”, or those who either surrender or have been cowed and hectored into submission. His/her strategy is to become a close ally who would be there at ever opportunity to “help”. The need for the help always arises from his/her diabolism. The ikor would convert any attempt by the victim to create own wealth into a source of annoyance and frustration that would only be reduced by the “benevolence” or intercession of the ikor. The ikor by this definition is found in the main, among those trying to convert one into their religion, or make one surrender to their deity.

The agency to the particular Deity who is the receiver of every drop of blood offered on earth is often the ikor either directly or by proxy. This cardinal attribute of a continuous torrent of blood sustaining this deity does not fit the classic definition of the devil as far as I know. A saying by the Oboiro is that, "The crave for blood is the root of every violence against life." The ikor may cause you (by deceit or sorcery) to bear an overwhelming burden. You must cast off this and other burdens explained in the lectures to me able to move on in life.

We should realize that the concept of the devil as an entity such as with the face of a goat and horns may be useful sometimes. However the ikor in the form of your neighbor often renders the Devil unemployed in many communities in Africa and elsewhere. We have always had ikor, Devil or Satan Diabolos came with foreign religions and ritual magic or make-believe initiations. We observe entities from human beings in our daily lives that make it their business and pre-occupation to make one’s life miserable. Some persons play god in lives of those persons who are mentally blind and brainwashed to surrender to God in some form or sense - religious fanatics. We call the villains in the relationship the ikor.

The society into which one is born has a determinant power over what one is exposed to as the initiation and learning process. The world is heading for self-annihilation in the light of the presence in hell of a majority. I have been at the threshold to the clasical hell. I testify that hell is not a furnace where the dwellers are in burning fire. Hell is no incinerator. Those who equated the conditions in hell to fire used that only as a metaphor.

Hell is a condition of passion for insatiable cravings. The inhabitants long for life first and foremost, because they are acutely aware of the imminence of death through execution. Furthermore, they thirst, hunger, suffer from jealousy, and crave for sexual satisfaction, and other satisfactions that are purely of the material world. There are no restaurants there; there are neither bars nor water fountains. No male, female, tri-sexual, bi-sexual prostitutes; there are no animals for those possessed of the demon of bestiality, to gratify their sexual passions.

There can be no way to satisfy any of the other numerous desires revolving about the cravings of their God(s). This last category, namely the cravings of their God is a separate category, because the God is driven by one passion only, namely jealousy. The passion of the God to which they surrender is the overriding cause of their going to hell. The desire to satisfy that God kept them among those agents of the "prince of hell" who dwell among God’s chosen ones.

The passions of man and woman enumerated above are nothing when compared to that of the God. Whereas human beings could overcome their passions if/when they renounce their affiliations with the ways and objects fuelling the passions, the passion of God is virtually eternal. It is limitable only to the extent that God is mortal. (One person’s God may well be another’s demon or devil.) Those under the anguish of satisfying the passions are in hell and doomed by that very fact.

One must confirm the truth in the above statements about hell for oneself. Most people make the discovery when hell is within sight. I did. I write from experience. The moment that one realizes that the community (religious, mystical, political, economic, etc.) to which one belonged was going to crash in hell, the very realization kick-starts in us, the vital centres, organs, or faculties that had hitherto been in the state of suspended animation. This is a cardinal occasion in the Divine Process and heralds a point in Divine Initiation, because one discovers the ultimate source of all powers and emanations hidden in the “womb” of the multiverse in a way. One needs to come to equivalent condition (threshold to hell) over and over again via different routes before one can be knowledgeable enough not to make the mistake of following the masses or popular religious practises and rituals to death.

Note the hidden message in the statement, “One needs to come to equivalent condition (threshold to hell) over and over again via different routes . . ..”. One needs to have migrated from one religion to another or one faith to another or one vocation to another, etc. to be properly knowledgeable to attain salvation in the end.

One discovers the first time that one was in hell without really knowing how one got there. One, who subsequently returns to earth by a route, recognizes features on the route on the way back to earth. One discovers consequently that one has learned not to go that same route again, because one then knows that that particular route led to hell. One would definitely avoid the rituals and religion that led one there, if and only if, one has the power to overcome the forces that pulls one towards hell. The neccessity is a main justification for the quest for power.

One tries what one thinks would be a better alternative only to find out that the new route also leads to death and hell. One who returns from the second route gains the knowledge as in the first instance that the route also led to hell. The person who remains steadfast and opposed to the conditions that lead to death in each case, will eventually learn enough, so that he/she will have defined successfully what would appear to him to be a unique path to Salvation. That person realizes himself/herself as own God.

One discovers the threshold during a cardinal ordeal of divine initiation (re: alga-junction) or one reaches it through meditation and rehearsing. "Praying" here should be understood as meaning decreeing; this follows after one has chanted in Ruaobi. These together form the core of REHEASING. We give reheasing, rather than praying as such, a prominent place in our teachings.

One other practice at the core of the undertaking to attain salvation in this lifetime is travelling. Travellling is a synonym for PILGRIMMAGE. We pay particular attention to the fact that we must journey as it were between universes in general, between religion and spiritual practices, as well as between hell and this world in particular. We require a vehicle for this, as is the prerequisite for journeys generally. The routes are fraught with dangers posed by demons, “devourers of souls”, corrupt priesthood of swindlers and tempters, as well as all manners of trendsetters of evils. One therefore must be armed for battles to overcome every one of them.

Note that journey in the sense of Divine Initiation or Pilgrimage To Salvation does NOT necessarily involve locomotion. One does not move as when one travels on the face of the earth, in air, or on the seas. During our PILGRIMAGE, an event would appear in one’s consciousness as if one had journeyed, whereas nothing has changed space or location. The exception to this is when one carries out experiments and studies by visiting shrines and similar institutions physically to test their powers; one avails oneself of the opportunities to pitch one’s powers against theirs, when they perceive one as an intruder and attack one.

Journeys to hell, antechamber to hell, or oblivion does not involve one departing one’s dwelling otherwise for example. The destination becomes part of one’s consciousness by the actions of the “vehicle”. We call it a vehicle to communicate that there will be awareness of what could be thousands of millennia far in time, light years in space, or universes away, yet one’s body does not transverse an iota. With this vehicle, the realms of existence beyond the grave can be surveyed among others.

The Oboiro discovered through the travels (as defined above - The Vehicle Across Universes) , that man and woman by definition generate powers and emanations, which we call Ebo. We are all sorts of dynamos individually. Each is like a star or the sun that produce inexhaustible energy. Ebo is of the bones and hence its emanations from a particular person does not end with the death of the physical body.

The essence in human bones that is the producer of the power needs stimulation to work properly - a sort of detonator. Consider the analogy of the ability of laughter. The ability or potentiality to laugh is always in each of us; however, one laughs only when one is exposed to the event that prompts one to laugh. The faculty or capability to produce the unique forces and powers is in each of us; however, we need the stimulations of the experience as we are exposed to during the ordeals of divine initiation to realize the potentiality. This essence is related to consciousness for divination and discernment. The ability to become all-powerful, and for divining mysteries and hence profound wisdoms and learning are bound together and mutually re-enforcing - in human consciousness.
