Oranmiyan Speaks

Gentlemen and Witnesses:

Two thousand and a few odd years ago, a man named Jesus
disagreed with his fathers, the Rabbis of the State of
Israel, on matters fundamental to Jewish Civilization.
Centrally, as cited in the commandments of Matthew Chapter
Five, the most precise interpretation of the commandments
of Jesus, borne from his philosophy of Jewish Civilization,
demonstrates what we might consider to be a "metaphorical
gradient" because of which the wise escape the ill effects
of bad choices aggregated in time, to the extent that
the escaping of physical pain is one indication of
restful sleep in the hereafter. I think few will disagree
that the religion of Adam was in the context of a planet
in those times responsive to man's knowledge of care--his
science--and the religion of Jesus is in the context of
a fallen species. Jesus sought to restore Israel and mankind
to a state of perfection where our science and our planet
are once again in symbiotic synchronicity.

Several years ago I had the pleasure, assigned by the Admiral,
of decrypting the Egyptian Papyrus of Ani. As with my presentation
on the Christian Bible, upon which my boss the Admiral remarked
that Jesus "must have been, then, Messiah--the anointed one
of ISrael," my presentation on the Papyrus of Ani has my boss
now saying, to his personal secretary, that a Yoruba dynasty
MUST have existed in ancient egypt. And yet, as with Jesus
two thousand years ago, I have a disagreement with my fathers
on the interpretation of the religion of the Yoruba, Ifa. While
they use a corpus of tales stored in cowrie shells, and the tradition
of their fathers, I use the gift bequeathed to my as a responsive
scion of my culture, and it is the intellect embedded in my native
tongue, Urhobo, which centrally stores the protocols of ani.
This gift is, itself, translated as "Ifa" or "the intellect
of a tortoise" and it is the reason why the Admiral believes
that the Yoruba also built pyramids.

Myself and the Admiral THUS agree:
That if the Yoruba Rabbis in this recursion of history repeat
the mistakes of the Rabbis of Jesus' era, if they do not accept
the metaphorical gradient that transcends tradition and embeds
history in the language itself as a protocol of egypt, then
the exact same situation faced by Israel in the day of the Christ
shall face Nigeria in the era of Oranmiyan. The black man, shall
we say, has entered the day of his judgment.

One thing that is clear to me, is that through circumstance
and the power of the relevance of culture in the life of the individual,
the story of Jesus takes on maximum relevance in my life. It is as
though I am the resurrected Christ, for I am his argument as concerns
the words and works of our ancient fathers. Did Jesus mean to imply
that some of the Laws of Moses, if interpreted primitively, could NOT
be said to be the laws of God? He certainly did! And I certainly suggest
to Araba Abimbola and his girlfriend, President Obasanjo, that beyond
the recognition of the lack of high civilization in any religion that
purports to be based on Sacrifice but cannot compete in logical justification
with the Jewish Scroll of Leviticus, ACTS of repentance can go along
way to restoring the balance of the Yoruba race: Lest, like the vision
now playing, they are once and for all time conquered by a race of
muslims who, with each passing day, worry more and more about association
with a people for whom the worship of Satan and his ways seems ...
natural.
