Why Did Orunmila Leave the Earth — and How Does He Remain? Orula Across the Water
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Why did Orunmila leave the earth, and how does he remain? In the pataki as Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola presents it in Orunmila: Witness of Destiny, Owner of Ifa (Chapter 11, 'His Departure and His Remaining'), Orunmila withdrew - not in anger, and not in abandonment - because the people who consulted him ignored his counsel and skipped the sacrifice; he returned to the side of Olodumare and left the instruments, the verses, and the trained men - Ifa itself - as his remaining voice. This educational article (Orunmila, round 4) is anchored in fresh source material not taught in rounds 1-3: Chapter 11 (The withdrawal; Across the water - Orula in Cuba, Orunmila in Brazil, the rebuilt room in the United States; The remaining) with Chapter 12's six disciplines of living by counsel cited as its application. The pataki and diaspora accounts are summarised in outline as the book presents them. No verified retail link for the Orunmila volume is on file, so none is offered; the buy block carries the verified links for the author's published Ifa corpus, The Original AI. Devotional/educational only; study is not initiation.
