Today's episode focuses on how knowing your history will eliminate the mystery. We learn how IFA transcends religious boundaries and represents a comprehensive system of African sacred science with renowned scholar Professor James Smalls. In this enlightening conversation, we explore the profound depths of African spiritual traditions, historical truths, and the scientific foundations that make IFA a powerful system of knowledge and transformation.
Learn how African sacred science encompasses everything from medicine and astronomy to psychology and metaphysics, revealing why IFA is far more than just a religious practice. Professor Smalls shares intimate insights from his decades of initiation and study, including rarely discussed aspects of traditional African knowledge systems.
Professor Smalls breaks down complex concepts about African spirituality, discussing how various traditions like Yoruba, Akan, and Congo practices are interconnected through a shared understanding of cosmology and ecology. He explains how these systems provide practical tools for understanding the universe and our place within it.
This powerful discussion challenges common misconceptions about African spiritual traditions while offering deep insights into how these ancient knowledge systems remain relevant and vital today. Whether you're a practitioner or simply curious about African spiritual traditions, this conversation offers invaluable wisdom about connecting with ancestral knowledge and understanding the true power of IFA.
