- The Yoruba tradition is one of the most ancient of African spiritualities. In this video, Iyanla Vanzant explains the four basic Yoruba principles for living a life of order, value, and balance.
thank you Sister!
it is almost the same in Chinese Culture!
very interesting!
She is on point about that family part. The relationship with one's family is very sacred and powerful in West Africa. Western Cultures are all about independence.
If they're a healthy family. Not a toxic family
You can't expect an American to act African. We have a different life here.
@@mybeautifulchaos750exactly
That’s not true southern Europe is definitely about family
I disagree. Black Americans will hold on to family, even when it is not good for them, and Vanzant is an example of promoting this mentality.
She just defined Isese in the simplest form - Iya eni isese eni, Baba eni Isese Eni (honoring parents), Ori Eni (inner head), Oluwo eni, Isese Eni (Your teacher or noble priest that teaches you the way of OLODUMARE) and OLODUMARE (God in Yoruba)
Iba OgundaErin!!!
This was a short but very powerful video, I've just ran across your channel and I'm now subscribed, keep up the awesome work!!! ASE'💪🏾❤
The family MUST be healthy and non toxic. A toxic family will not suit your spiritual journey
If you don't know what toxic is then I can't help you
Facts
Especially the ones that are out to scam you
And you can still be close to the family you make along the way.
I think there should also be a 5th one: your own Ori (your head)…self-love and self-respect…but the rest is spot on. Ifa e Orunmilá change lives!
Ori should be #1.
At 40 yrs old, im just getting into this and hope to one day become a Iyanifa. Ive ordered $200+ worth of books Baba Ifa Karade and Priestess Efe Mena Aletor. I have always felt that christianity was not my worship path. I never felt comfortable in churches and christians have beat me down emotionally, stole money from me and were just down right rude, hypocritical and two faced to the point of me crying. This is not a dig at christians rather a reflection of what my true spiritual purpose is in this life. I want to learn and practice everything and anything in the yoruba/Ifa spiritual journey because what i have been following due to familial traditions and society isn't and hasn't helped me.
and i’m only saying this because you put you spent over $200 in reality you should hit up wayward renegade and let her mentor you and show you how to use your foundation. please just try her out i feel your energy and i can tell you would be a bad ass occultist you just need foundation
and trust me i was just like you i stepped away from the bible and all but she helped me to understand the darker side of jesus and how to use that word to f*ck sh*t up and how to manifest with that word for my life. how to read the word in its occultism not how they taught us in church. “forgive and let God” BULLSHIT, F*CK THEM UP with them spirits and use that work (voodoo, rootwork) laymen so you understand what i’m saying
You should consult a Babalowo first and foremost if you have not done so already!!
@@patricerenee1717 absolutely not get up out that crap
How can I contact one in Nashville?
Ase- Sistah Iyanla
Love love ❤🙏🏿
Beautiful indeed A'se
And btw, i do find it interesting that the yoruba religion dates back 5,000 years. Christianity dates back 2,000.
It's not interesting. It's the truth. These new religions are babies.
@DTey22 Well, in the creation of the universe and of dinosaurs and Hominids.... religion is sort of a baby. Yoruba is not the oldest religion. Personally, I believe Jesus is to be respected. I believe the Yoruba religion is to be respected. The spirit world and supernatural forces are real. And at play. It's beyond any person's knowing. So I wish people had an open mind, spiritually. And respected one another. There's something to learn from everything and everyone. God wants peace among people. I really admire the Yoruba religion. Through nature there is spirit. All of Life.
God created heaven, earth and the angels. All of this is explained in the bible. Yoruba religion is pagan with many gods who are the fallen angels. There is only one God. Unfortunately the Yoruba religion followed by some of our ancestors are worshipping the fallen angels also known as false gods and goddesses.
@@imo.124lmao they were living people that were defied because they lived like God. Yoruba believes in 1 creator. Research before you spread ignorance smfh.
Jesus said before Abraham was, I AM. Abram/Abraham was introduced in the book of Genesis. Jesus is part of the “Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE.” He has always been here. There is no one before God created the heavens and the earth.
Beautiful!❤
ASÉ!!!
Iboru iboya Ibosheshé thank you for your teachings

Thank you ❤️
Thank you ❤🙏🏽
Thank you.

Indeed
I had no idea she was Yoruba 😅
actually this makes alot sense to me... i kind of live like that whithout even being aware of the tradition. it just feels natural to me... i mean most religions are more about power and control
then anything else ... they lost the essence ... i think those 4 core principles are the essence and also the reason why its just healthy to choose to live by thees "values". ... being spiritual not religeous... doing the right thing for the greater good not just for personal gain... no need to live on your knees as long you dont put those close to you down. dont be so greedy. there would be enough for all of us... but yo i guess every herd got its black sheep but the european mind is
more down whith the devil, the EGO ... false light blindet by there beauty lol .... who are the real Savages? not everything that shines is gold... the devil is a liar. no matter which shade of brown or whatever... positiv giving or Negative taking... balance
just some thoughts and thnx for providing theese infos. PEACE out & greetings from Germany

What if your family is abusive? How is that handled? In Yoruba?
If they’re abusive the Oracle will speak on that and direct you on what to do… His name is Orunmilla
they are fine with abuse, sadly.
How can I contacted this lady?
Im so frustrated. I believe in Jesus, but without religion. And, I also believe in Oshun. I believe theyre both my guides. However, when it comes to people...and all of their authority and explanations...I find that I dont fit in and belong. Infact, im rejected. Which is really hypocritical. So, I wind up being independent and unfortunately remaining disconnected.
Christianity has numerous expressions.
God, Creator, The Universe, whatever name you want to give them, I believe that they LOVE to express themselves through multiple avenues and religions, in keeping with their creative and complex nature. All that means is, find what rings true to you. Find what draws you and makes you feel like you belong. If it's not with the people around you, you can find your people. But, whatever you do, do it in your truth. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, do what you feel CALLED to do no matter what anybody else says. This is the number 1 most important thing you can do for yourself. Everything else will follow. Asé.
@@nightlingsaladLovely, thanks.
Because you are serving two Masters which leads to confusion.
He who says Jesus is the one and only and really goes for it will stop to give this name. Same with him who says this about Olorun. Many West Africans are wise and won't say this. They know all real God seakers will reach the same point. I am THERE. I started in an European Church (as mankind at all started in Afrika). When we all meet in God war and greed and fright are over. Don't be dependent from a religious community wich bless weapons.
It’s too many Christian’s in the comments being disrespectful maybe yall need to go do more research on your religion committing SINS unwillingly because someone doesn’t have the same belief as them😂
YORUBA❤❤🌍❤🌍🌍❤
Okey dokey. What about if your family is abusive? What if your family have alzheimers and are a danger to themselves, or you cant physically care for them . And you have no choice but to work.
It's all an excuse! There is always that will to cross the bridge when you are at the tip of it, onto the other side! 😂😂😂
Don't listen to people who say the reasons you listed are not valid. In the Creator's wisdom, they KNOW not everything is black and white. Life is complex but so is God, or whatever name you call him. Abusive or toxic family might hurt your purpose. Go where you feel drawn to and do what you feel drawn to do when it comes to your family. The universe will guide you. Asé🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏
Why do people come in these videos to bring hatred?
Sorry to break it to you, but the Orisha’s started way before the “white man” brought his “book” and told us who and what to believe in .
And Jesus was taken from the story of Heru . Whose mother had his father’s spirit in her.. and he was born on … drum roll …. December 25th! 😂
INCORRECT. Jesus said before Abraham was, I AM. Abram/Abraham was introduced in the book of Genesis. Jesus is part of the “Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE.” He has always been here. There is no one before God created the heavens and the earth. -- AFRICA IS DISCUSSED IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS. If the white man is/was Holy why would he not clearly say that he is GOD????
Sadly, familial responsibility is nearly non existent in the US these days
sorry but no. if your family needs a care home (people who are actually trained in how to do it and who can take care of and understand their every need), they should be there. they have a structure. i don't think i would be very happy for my family to think they meet my needs when they just don't. it's wrong. you're bringing morality and guilt - religious issues - into the fore when they should not be here. you shouldn't do it for a reward either. it is cruel to keep someone at home instead of enabling them to be with professionals who know what they are doing. maybe you're talking about people who are fully alert but just frail, in which case, fine maybe but still, people have to go out to work. where are they going to get the time or money from if they are caring for their elders?
It is possible to live these core principles along with a dose of common sense.
Notice how very few countries do that and most countries do not put family members in nursing homes. Most countries find it to be a cruel thing to do.
Thank you,
Am afraid that the traditions and culture are going, due to the western influence.
Which god is she talking about?
The Bible says thou shall not have no other gods before me.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. [7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:6 -7
The Bible teaches us not to pray to our ancestors and things like that, because when a person dies the Bible says after death, then judgment, so when our ancestors die, they have been judged, and been sent to either heaven or hell if they believed in Jesus Christ they are sent to heaven if they chose not to believe in Jesus, then by their own free will, when they died, God is just sending them where they chose to go.
When people worship their ancestors, they call familiar spirits, which is demonic. Demons can impersonate the dead. People try to do séances and things like that to try to figure out what their ancestor had said, or hit something there, conjuring up Demons.
Those are demon spirits that they are opening themselves up to, and the demonic realm will come into their life and into their homes and into their children.
Sage and crystals, and all these kind of rocks, and all that all those are daemonic those are elements from the earth but we don’t need those things.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, when we confess with your mouth and believe in our hearts, the Jesus Christ died, and God raised him on the third day, he said you shall be saved, and your name is written in the lambs book of life.
But we continue reading the Bible, and doing what Jesus said to do that is a disciple of Christ, when we received or excepted Jesus Christ into our hearts the same spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, is the same spirit that lives within his believers.
So that means that we have authority, Christ has given us authority over demons, snakes and scorpions, and by that authority we can cast out demons heal the sick, even raise the dead, because God lives within his believers.
We don’t need crystals and the elements of the earth because we have the creator who created those things in us.
This is just a warning to all those who believe in this type of cult. It is not of Christ.
@@jeffobi1023 So the god you worship, did he die for you? What is his name? My God has a name his name is Jehovah.
His name is Olodumare!!!
@@patricerenee1717 If that God can show you his scars on his wrist and his feet. No thank you. No matter how what philosophy or words of wisdom I can’t save your soul. The words that they say may help you get through life get through hard times, but it’s only temporary the God Jesus Christ, that I serve. His love is eternal, no matter what we go through? He is always there. We can sense and feel his spirit with us, he speaks to us and we speak to him. He guides us with the Holy Spirit. It’s a love that’s unconditional no man no woman can ever bring the type of love that Jesus Christ brings to my life. I hope and pray that you come to know Jesus Christ before it’s too late because he’s coming soon and he’s coming to get his people.
What kind of hope do you have with the God that you serve he’s limited to this world . Jesus Christ is eternal he’s forever there’s no end, and there’s no beginning to him.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God, John 1:1
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14
Someone seems lost in the whirlwind of the manufactured religion! 😂😂Just dive deeper into spirituality, you'll understand what Iyanla said in the video!
@@oluolatunde342Thank you
She is contradicting, God says no necromancy but she's saying to speak to the ancestors and honor God at the same time, what God is she referring to Jehovah? Make that make sense. We must do better READ the bible for yourself
I don’t really know how .but to build a connection to god is to build a connection with one’s true self. If she clearly states that she is a priestess what the difference between that and a deacon of the church.you don’t think that in the amount of time it took for you to comment and tell somebody what something is just because that’s what the “Bible” says.use that same bible to understand the words you use because she’s not contradicting anything if anything she’s teaching you about your roots this religion was inherited by the slaves because they had to be forced away from their loved ones and raped and then what do you think they gave the slaves to read and write out of after taking everything they loved“the Bible“so they were even forced to change their beliefs and cultures.don’t say somebody is contradicting anything please stop being a foot licker because god really doesn’t like that .
The Bible is YHWH's book, but the question is who is YHWH, really? He claims to be God (the Creator, aka El, aka Olodumare to the Yoruba) but if we read up about him we see that he's El's son, and more like the ancient Hebrew god of thunder and warfare, kinda similar to Shango, incidentally.
So I think the next question becomes who are we, and whose gods should we follow? Cuz every people has their own gods (unless they've been thoroughly conquered) and none of that negates the Supreme Authority of the Creator (who goes by various names depending on your mother tongue).
A lot of people trying to make it to heave. Without going through Jesus Christ. You won’t make it no matter what tongue or language it is in, if it’s not the teachings of Jesus Christ. If it’s not pointing to him then it’s false.
That may have been true before the internet. Now all devoted students of Human WISDOM know Jesus is one among many GREAT EXAMPLES OF GOD'S GLORY!
Angels are not equivalent to ancestors😂 cute video though
Don’t laugh at another person’s relationship with God you might meet them one day that person and their God
@@bballstar30 No I won’t. Stop trying to scare me. I’m a philosopher I am not religious. How you have relationship with God but not smart enough to know Angels and Ancestors are not equivalent religious terms. She just made a huge blunder and disrespected Yoruba…but you too busy trying to defend something you don’t know anything about.
People tend to call their relatives who passed, guardian Angels. You’re coming from a Christian/European point of view. It makes sense😂
@@luciousscotch5837 calling deceased relatives gaurdian angels is not biblical it’s just some shit people do for no reason. I am not even Christian and I know this
@@TheLastOutlaw289 You’re a Christian. It’s okay. Obviously, you think like one.
This is from the pit of hell, RUN!
Jesus is the only I’AM!!! He is an INIMITABLE GOD!!!
I know you mean well. but teachings thousands of years before Catholicism express the same Truth and much more.
😂😂😂
Amen!! The one and only. The original. 🙏🏾
Wake up and smell the coffee. Go back to your ancestors way of worship
jesus isn't god. stop lying on jesus. if jesus was god , who was he praying to???? HIMSELF??? you disrespect jesus by calling him god.
There’s only one God, one Gospel and one sound. And that’s Jesus, who is the only way to God of the Holy Scriptures!!!
Sorry but there were gods and spiritual systems (religions) way before the Bible. Do some research on the history of the world.
How does your proclamation fit with Christ Jesus's TWO GREATEST Commandments?
The Yoruba tradition is tradition that was practice before the church (colonialism)
Jesus is only a 2000 year old God
Do your research boo!
WRONG
I love u
She Hebrew she just don't know it
