Claiming our goodness claiming our happiness yes Malika kashia Jam baby yes we are claiming our joy and we are not good morning we are not gonna hurt ourselves right fak good morning we are not gonna hurt ourselves trying to seek The Impossible right so the story today is from
And as many of our o ofah has was called an alias this is the genius you you know I always talk about the genius of our ancestors the pneumonic devices and the different aliases that are given to our Odus are meant to remind us of the stories and
The lessons Joya uh from the ODU right and so hey yeah Esther Long Time blessings good to have you with us good morning good morning those aliases are meant to remind us more chrisan Geniuses Sunny blessings meant to remind us of the story and soos is also known ASOS A because a is
The word that is used for those with albanism in Yoba language Ain people with albanism are called aen they are the special children of aatala they are considered uh special souls and are the children of obatala and so there’s a story the story that I’m going to tell
Right now involves six a people with albinism who went to ealu to find out how they could make their skin black they said we know we are Africans we know we are black but because our melanin is missing we we feel somehow so we want to be able to turn our in black
And they went to a babala to ask about this when the babala consulted consulted the Oracle the OD of came out and the babalao told them simply listen please try to accept yourself the way you are don’t waste your money don’t waste your time trying to change something about yourself that really
Can’t be changed Andrea good morning can’t when we can’t change something if fck me the babal told them just enjoy yourself as you are I understand but there’s six of you it’s not even like you’re alone right there were six you’re not alone you have your community just enjoy yourself as you are
And don’t end up wasting your money and wasting your time trying to change yourself they said okay and they went away but they still weren’t satisfied at the same time right after they left that babala another babalao came to consult that first babala you know we always talk about how even priest very
Important Chris Wills good morning right very important to understand that even priest right we have to go for our divination too and that doing it for ourselves Phoenix good morning morning isn’t always the best because we always need another outside perspective so another priest came to see that same
Baba that the a had just left and his problem was that he needed some money he was feeling impoverished the clients hadn’t been coming things hadn’t been coming for him so well and he asked the Baba look what is it that I can do in
Order to make more money and to you know be living better and that b told him Jamal good morning good morning African blessings yes Joy is ours that babal told him that it was the thoughts of his own mind the same OD came and he said look that babala told
Him that the products of his own mind the thoughts of his own mind were going to be what ultimately brought him riches and joy and happiness and that he should go home and just think and that something would come to him to do and that his mind would be where His
Blessings would come from and so neither one of them needed to make any AO in that instance right so they both went home the aim went back home the babala went back home and ultimately those six Ain went to see the second babala the one who had gone to consult the first
About his impoverished situation and when they came they asked him to even though the first babal Lao had told them don’t seek The Impossible don’t waste your money don’t waste your time they went to see this second babala to ask again about changing their skin and the second babal told them look
Look before we even think about your skin before we even think about that situation I think that you should be concerned about trying to make even more money right trying to get more money trying to get more riches in more abundance so let us make EA for you let
Us give you EA initiation and that will help to bring more money to you so they brought their money for the initiation they did the initiation they received their shrines of EA they received their o du they began to live very well each one of them each of the six of them was
Making plenty money was having plenty good things happen in their lives they had clothes they had cars they had all the things that they could desire and it was Maka that brought all of those good things to them blessings House of raash Nicole all right all of those good
Things were coming to them because they had made eah because they had embraced their Destiny because they had received their Oro but still they were not happy with themselves and so they went back again and they said look now we’ve made our we have plenty money you can’t tell
Us that if we give you all this money if we give you all that we have that there’s no way right that you can turn our skin dark and the second bab thought for a minute he said you know what yeah bring give me all that money give me all the
Money you got and here’s what I’m gonna do I’m gonna put this special concoction onto you and so he put a special black concoction on their skin and he told them to go home and not to bathe for 9 days they didn’t know what was in the
Concoction they didn’t know how it was going to make them feel but they went along with it because they wanted what they wanted so badly in spite of all of the other blessings that they had already received and so they went home and one day passed and two days passed
And three days passed and four days passed and finally on the fifth day ah their skin just began began to itch so badly and they had to bathe and when they bathed of course all of the concoction washed off of them and they looked the way that they had looked in
The beginning and so all six of them went back to the babal they said ahh you tricked us so you told us that if you put this thing on our skin it was going to make us dark we gave you all this money and now we’re not dark he said
Well did you follow my instructions I told you not to bathe for nine days knowing obviously that they were not going to be able to go nine days without bathing they said no well we began to itch and so uh we had to bathe after the
Fifth day and bab said well you didn’t follow the instructions I I don’t know what you want me to tell you that’s why it didn’t work but it’s okay you still have all the things that you have I think now you should just try to be
Happy with what you have because now his own problem was resolved right his own problem with money had been resolved from them coming to him and now he said to them look just go ahead and enjoy yourself as you are don’t don’t waste any more time don’t waste
I’m not going to take any more of your money just go just be happy with how you are and ultimately they went and they became happy with themselves as they were they rejoiced in all of the blessings that they had received and they accepted them El for how they are a
I listen come on yes my sister good morning uh Nana yes so many lessons in this story right many times we are blessed we are blessed we have money we have company listen cuz listen to how the story starts there’s six of them it’s not like it was is just
One right we have company we have Community even if we’re going through something many times we will be in the company of others that may be going through the same thing who may be able to work with us in that thing that we’re going through but still right many times
We want to seek something else even as my sister just said to our own detriment even when it’s going to hurt us even when we know that we’re not going to get what whatever it is that we desired in the end and understand the other part of
The story listen sometimes you know I got to talk about us sometimes right sometimes we go to one diviner and we hear something right that we know is the truth and still we choose to go and give our money Here There and Everywhere trying to hear
What it is that we want to hear as opposed to accepting what the truth is right the first first priest told them the truth the first priest said look this is not possible what you’re asking so just accept yourself as you are because what you’re asking is not
Possible and that was the truth but instead of accepting that right they went and sought somebody else and sought somebody else and here’s the thing somebody else will take your money somebody else listen will tell you that they could do something that you know good and fully well they are not able to
Do somebody else will tell you oh yeah if you give me enough I’ll make it happen somebody else right will tell you everything that you want to hear but that doesn’t mean that the outcome is actually going to be the outcome that you’re seeking and so so important as we
Go through life as we get our divinations as we consult with Spirit as we um connect with various priests priestesses Etc first of all making sure those who we connect with are people of good character who aren’t just going to take our money and tell us they could do
Things that we know good and fully well no one is able to do right we are not going to trick ourselves into thinking that we can throw money at something right and think that it doesn’t matter right certain things it doesn’t matter how rich you are it doesn’t matter if
You got Oprah Beyonce money whatever money you got it’s not going to be enough to make certain things happen in your life because certain things just aren’t possible and so we don’t want to trick ourselves we don’t want to delude ourselves we don’t want to chase fantasies and end up hurting ourselves
What we want to do what we want to do is make peace and accept ourselves just as we are understand that we are beautiful understand that we are powerful understand that we are blessed understand that the things that we have that are good are our things and the
Good things that are meant for us and embrace ourselves exactly as we are a sh I said I said I said I said that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement right that doesn’t mean that there’s no room for us to to to better ourselves
But it means that the core of who we are right understanding the core of who we are as people is so important and accepting ourselves at that core accepting the things just like the Serenity Prayer give me this Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
The courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference I sh I sh I sh I sh I sh I sh I sh so our statement for today very simply and this is a good lesson too coming into the new year because listen
Some of us you know I got to talk about it some of us thought we was going to be whole new people at the stroke of midnight on January 1 right we was going to stop eating this and start eating that we was gonna work out we was GNA do
This we was GNA do that stuff we ain’t never did before in our lives right and it doesn’t mean it’s not possible but it means that expecting heroic things from ourselves expecting to be completely different people from one day to another that’s not realistic right it’s not
Realistic and we hurt ourselves and we hurt our own Spirits trying to do things and make things happen that we know are not possible to happen incremental come on T tell us change is a process it’s incremental the most lasting change is change that happens slowly over time
Right doesn’t mean that we can’t ever change but it means that we have to be realistic about the degree to which we are able to change and the time that it takes to do that a sh I sh come on do we be doing the most sometimes right we be
Doing the most so our statement for right now for today I accept myself as I am I accept myself as I am I accept myself as I am all right I accept myself as I am doesn’t mean that there’s no room for improvement doesn’t mean that there’s
Not something else that I might seek in my life but fundamentally the core of my being I accept right I accept I accept who I am yes Lauren Dalma gind we accepting ourselves as we are Kim Rhonda Lady Diana Chris Queen mayay we’re accepting ourselves Phoenix Naila Christen we’re accepting ourselves Aaron
Adola Phoenix safur Sunny faki we’re accepting ourselves as we are Lady Diana faim Jessica yes sharifa we’re accepting ourselves as we are poin we’re accepting ourselves as we are Allison we’re accepting ourselves as we are we know again there’s always room to improve ourselves to shift certain things in our
Lives but the core of who we are hopal the core of who we are elain the core of who we are too blessed auntie franita we we accept Zenovia Esther Camila yes sweet lady rra we’re accepting ourselves Bliss Tiffany Gloria and understand that a part of that acceptance means IO
Understanding Ruth that some of us as I talk about all the time some of us will need more ritual and more cultivation of our or than others F blessings we accept ourselves g day we accept ourselves as some of us are going to need more work
Than others some of us are going to need more shrines than others some of us are going to need more ritual than others some of us need more or less than others and that’s okay K we accept ourselves right some of us need more work to cultivate ourselves and that’s okay
That’s okay Elsa yes Alyssa Excuse me yes some of us need more Ashley than others and it’s okay Mara right accepting those things Mari about ourselves REI accepting those things good morning all right and understanding that it doesn’t make us any worse than anybody else right it doesn’t make
Anyone else better than us it just means that there’s certain aspects of our spirit that require more energy to balance them than others and it’s okay right and so trying to that’s another part of accepting ourselves as we are and not seeking The Impossible saying
Look I know every time I get reading I get rituals that I got to do but I’m just not gonna do them because I you know I don’t think I should have to do all that maybe you don’t think you should have to do all that right but your spirit requires that
And so accepting those things about yourself right accepting the things that are for you that are not for you Matt Kia right accepting who you are accepting what you need Pauline right Tanya is accepting all of the things about yourself and what you need very very very important in order to be able
To live a healthy and happy life come on faf Mo you with me n blessings blessings blessings so as we get ready to move into our prayer space today we are going to pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray to accept ourselves as we are
