You dey waka through time and space, you dey inside one long journey of return to your Ancient Home. For dis life and for wetin dey pass am, dis journey dey continue. E no be journey wey you dey make for yourself alone. Na journey wey you dey make for all di ones wey don lose contact wit di Creator of all life. Na journey of Separation and of return. Na journey wey dey go one greater experience of your purpose and of your destiny.

Di journey different well well from wetin pipo dey imagine, becos imagination no fit hold reality wey big like dis. Words, like ideas, dey put limit and shape on tins, but dem no fit cover realities wey big pass. Dis one need respect, and e need say sometin inside you go answer am, before you fit experience di truth for one bigger level. Ideas and beliefs dey okay for small tins. But one greater reality—di reality of your journey through time and space—dey pass wetin your imagination or your intellect fit picture for dis moment.

Na only comparison you fit give here. But comparison no fit hold di bigger picture of life wey you be part of, and e no fit hold di meaning of your journey through dis life and through wetin dey pass am. Di heart fit understand, but di mind no fit hold reality wey big like dis for di level of im own ideas. Na why di reality different well well from wetin plenty pipo dey think and dey believe.

Wen di Separation from God start, you no fit separate finish, becos part of Creation dey inside you and e don stay inside you, and you no fit throw am comot. Na like say God dey follow you go everywhere. Anywhere you go, God dey there, inside you and around you. You fit talk say, “I no wan believe for God. I no wan get anytin to do wit religion.” Dat one okay, but God still dey inside you, and God dey all around you.

You fit think say God na all about dis teacher—my savior, my saint, my prophet—but God still dey inside you and all around you.

You fit claim say na God cause di tins wey dey happen for di world or di tins wey dey happen for your life, but God still dey inside you and all around you.

Di mind dey think, di mind dey warn oda pipo, di mind dey announce great truths according to im own experience and how far im understanding reach, but di reality dey pass dis one.

You separate inside your own mind, and di intellect na wetin dis Separation produce. E think say na am be who you be. E think say e sabi wetin reality be. E think say na am be your soul and your Being. E think say im thoughts na im reality, and say na dem dey make am different from oda minds wey get oda thoughts. Your mind think say im reality na di reality of im ideas and di reality of how e join wit pipo, places and tins. But who you really be dey pass all dis one.

Becos God don remain inside you, God Knowledge don remain inside you. And dis Knowledge dey here now to guide you, to protect you and to lead you enter one greater experience of life, so dat di Separation wey dey inside you go melt comot. Dis purpose and dis destiny wey Knowledge dey hold for you na to give sometin to one world wey dey need am, inside di same conditions wey you dey see today and wey go still rise for front.

From where Knowledge wey dey inside you dey stand, you dey here on one mission. You get one greater purpose wey make you dey here. You no be just animal wey dey try survive, dey try satisfy imself, dey try dey happy, dey try dey safe. You be Being wey come from Heaven, wey be part of di Separation, wey dey here now to work towards discovering yourself and towards your own redemption.

As your mind dey continue to try picture imself and to attach imself to pipo, places and tins, Knowledge wey dey inside you dey move. E dey advise you, e dey counsel you. If you fit hear am, you go gain from am. But if you no fit hear am, den you no fit receive im wisdom, im blessing and di power wey e dey give.

Wetin you achieve for dis life no dey throw you go Heaven or go Hell; e dey put you for di next stage of your journey. If you go get wisdom and mercy and some level of awareness of yourself back, den you go ready for one greater level of service.

Pipo dey think say dis one life na all di time wey dem get inside physical reality. Some pipo even dey think say physical reality go reach im final end inside dem own lifetime. Dis ideas na di result of di limit wey your imagination get. To picture say your life go continue pass dis one, enter oda arenas of life and oda levels of service, na too much for plenty pipo to consider. Dem no get di capacity to think for dis level.

So na why pipo invent di idea of one Judgment Day. But why God go judge you wen God sabi exactly why you dey do wetin you dey do, and wen God understand say di world na place wey hard well well and wey dey push person well well, sotay if Knowledge no dey guide person here, di person go surely fall into error, and sometimes serious error?

God no go punish you becos you dey live inside condition like dis. God go call you make you come to Knowledge wey dey inside you, so dat you go get di Power and di Presence of God to guide you, to protect you and to lead you forward.

So Judgment Day no dey. Dis one na sometin wey pipo invent becos dem want make justice happen for Heaven where e no dey happen for Earth, according to dem own idea of wetin justice suppose be. Dem want make dem punish di wicked ones, even if dem demselves no fit punish di ones wey dem think dey do wrong. Dis one na just projection.

Plenty traditions don dey push di idea of one God wey dey vex, over long time, so dat dem go force pipo to hold one belief, so dat dem go use fear make pipo believe one particular religious idea or doctrine. Pipo dey worship God, and dem whole idea of God stand on one kind mind wey dey bow down, where you must please God or God go punish you. God go spoil your farm. God go bring sickness. God go bring weather wey go destroy everytin. And so, as time dey go, pipo dey think say dem must please God, or dem go face terrible tins here for Earth.

But di truth be say dem don enter one reality wey, by im own nature, hard well well and full of wahala, one reality wey nobody fit predict, and wey, even though e dey follow basic pattern, dey scatter well well.

Dis na di physical universe wey dem create as place where di ones wey separate go live, inside one separate reality. E wonderful and e terrible, e fine and e dey put fear. E dey pull person, and sometimes e dey push person comot. E no be like your Ancient Home at all, di place wey you come from and di place wey you go return to for di end. And still, na place wey need contribution. Na place of action. Na place for giving. Na through dis place di soul must waka now.

You dey di world for one greater purpose. No be you invent am for yourself. You no fit change dis purpose, but how you go experience am, and whether you go experience am at all, dey depend on wetin time bring and on di decisions wey you yourself take about am. So even though dem don already set your purpose, dem never set di tins wey go happen for your life. For dis level of existence, chance dey play very big role, and how important your decisions be dey play very big role.

Some pipo want think say na God dey control everytin wey dey happen for life, but dat one no true at all. God set di geological and biological forces wey shape how life take evolve for motion. But dis forces dey carry demselves go, and dem no need make God interfere. So if earthquake happen, e be part of di geological process. If hunger and sickness come, na mostly di result of forces wey you no fit control.

God no dey punish you. But dis na di reality where you must choose. Di choice na whether you go choose reunion wit God or Separation from God. You dey make dis choice every day. You dey make am for wetin you choose to think about, for wetin you choose to believe, and for how you choose to answer di hard tins and di decisions wey life bring.

Dem form your mind for one place where e dey alone, so e dey believe say na one single tin e be, one tin wey stand apart from oda tins. E dey mark imself out and e dey try use di body to mark imself out. Na Separation produce am, and e dey make Separation strong. But you get one deeper Knowledge inside you too, one deeper Knowledge wey God put there. Nobody fit talk am into anytin. Nobody fit tempt am. Nobody fit push am to do tins wey go against im own first nature.

Na like say you get two voices inside your mind. You fit get pass two voices, but all of dem come down to being voice for Separation or voice for reunion. But di voice for reunion no dey think like your mind. E no dey weigh matter for long. E no dey guess. E no dey judge and condemn. E no dey build im reality on ideas or concepts or on which side person dey.

Your surface mind—di mind wey culture, your family, tradition and di way you dey answer one world wey dey change don shape—dis mind must serve one greater Mind wey dey inside you, if e go find redemption and if dem go use im great abilities well for your own sake and for di sake of oda pipo.

Na why dem put Knowledge inside you, to guide you. Becos God sabi say you for lost inside di world if dis Knowledge no dey. You for fall into error, and you for live one life of fight, of hardship and of rejecting yourself.

So your journey na to return to di power and di presence of Knowledge. Or, if we tok am anoda way, na to become true to your deeper conscience, true to yourself, true to wetin you dey feel and sabi deep pass. Person fit describe dis one wit religious words or without religious words, but na di same tin.

Wit Knowledge, you discover say you dey here for one greater purpose, and you see say dem dey guide you for some ways and dey hold you back for oda ways. As your confidence dey grow, you fit follow dis one and receive im great blessings and im great lessons about life. You dey do dis one without condemning yourself or condemning oda pipo. You dey do am wit humble mind, as you realise say na one greater power you dey follow, one power wey pass di reach of di intellect. You dey put yourself here as student, student wey no dey assume plenty tin and wey open to learn everytin wey e suppose learn.

Here you no dey live according to answers; you dey live wit questions. Di intellect no fit do dis one, becos e no get confidence at all. E must get answers, so e dey manufacture im own answers. E no get confidence. E too weak to live wit questions. Dat one need one strength wey deep pass, inside you. You dey live wit questions wey you fit never fit answer, but you dey live wit dem becos dem dey open your mind, and dem dey wake one deeper connection wit Knowledge wey dey inside you.

Knowledge na di answer, becos as you dey strong wit Knowledge, you dey get certainty wey big pass, you dey get confidence wey big pass, and you dey get strength and ability wey big pass. You fit face danger and uncertainty without vex and without condemnation. You fit face questions wey you no get answer for, wit asking, wit open mind and wit humble mind. You get di power to hold di tendencies wey dey destroy you back, and to separate di thoughts wey dey inside your mind wey truly good, from all di thoughts wey you don soak from di environment wey surround you.

If you become strong wit Knowledge for dis life, dem go give you one greater level of service pass dis world. E fit be service for dis world or for oda worlds. E fit be service as teacher wey dey pass di physical, one of Di Unseen Ones wey dey guide di ones wey still dey live inside form. Or you fit return come di world wey we fit see, as one great teacher, as person wey get plenty promise to pour wisdom and guidance and settlement inside anoda existence.

Here Judgment Day no dey. Na only progress dey. You no fit return to your heavenly state wit vex, wit bad mind, wit judging yourself and wit condemning oda pipo full inside you. You no fit return to your heavenly state wen you no fit decide and you dey face two ways, wit addictions and wit tendencies wey dey destroy you. You just simply no fit return wit dis kind mind.

To think say all dis tins fit settle inside one life na to make di problem look small pass wetin e be. Even if you fit settle all dis tins inside one life, wetin you achieve go big sotay God go want use you to help oda pipo wey still lost inside dem own state of Separation. So even for dat condition, you still no fit return go Heaven.

God go use you reach di last, and God go take di full use and di full benefit of whatever wisdom you fit gather as you dey live inside physical reality. Dis no be punishment, becos wetin dey undo all di tendencies and di memories and di suffering wey Separation born na contribution, na service. God no just dey melt all dis tins comot from inside you, becos no be God create dem. Dem must melt inside you, by you and through you, as you take anoda road for life.

Service dey take di place of your errors. Di service dey come from deep inside you. E no be plan wey you arrange to try balance di guilt wey dey inside you. Na sometin wey dey flow from Knowledge wey dey inside you. E dey put di memory of contribution, of communication and of connection wit oda pipo for di place of di memory of Separation. Na by following di true master wey dey inside you, dem dey wipe your old errors of judgement and your unhappy experiences comot and forget dem.

Pipo no fit see dis one becos dem no fit imagine how Heaven be. Wen you dey live inside di world, dey think say you be one separate person, you no fit imagine how Heaven be. Becos imagination na how you dey give shape to your ideas, and di shape get limit well well and e no dey last. Na why you no fit imagine tins wey dey last forever. You no fit imagine peace. Everytin wey you dey imagine get limit and no dey last, by im own nature.

How you dey experience dis one dey happen for one deeper level. Di mind fit only imagine tins wey e fit think about. But if e no fit think about Creation except for very small terms of time and space, den e clear say you must experience your deeper nature outside di area of your intellect.

Your intellect na how you dey weigh life from one position of Separation. But if di Separation no real and e no fit ever complete, den your ideas must dey depend on where you stand. Maybe you fit see di truth of tins wey dey inside time, tins wey dey pass quick. You fit solve problems, becos na dat one di intellect dey for. Na to solve problems inside one small range of your experience for dis life.

Na dis be di real value of di intellect. Wen e dey serve Knowledge, e be wonderful instrument of communication. Na dat one e dey for, and na dat one dey redeem am and dey give am one greater purpose and one greater meaning.

Your connection to Knowledge na wetin go born your happiness for life, plus di great service wey e go render through you, and di redemption wey e go give your mind and your feelings. You go finally begin feel say you correct inside you, and you go grow pass di discomfort wey bin dey follow you before. E go free you from giving your life away to pipo and tins and places for di wrong way and before time. E go free you from all di suffering of not being able to decide, of doubting yourself and of blaming yourself. E go do dis one small small, becos change dey take time, to move where your loyalty dey inside you—loyalty wey dey move from your own ideas and di ideas of oda pipo, go one deeper power wey dey guide you from inside you. You go begin recognise dis power inside oda pipo, and see how e important pass everytin for your life and for di well-being of all humanity.

You no need worry yourself about wetin dey pass dis world, becos you never reach dat junction. Your mind no fit picture your life before dis world except as history and as imagination. Maybe you go get some memories of tins wey happen before, and dose ones fit be real. But dem no get di background wey dey explain dem, and you no fit understand dem finish.

Na dis life you must give your attention. You dey here for one greater purpose. Na only Knowledge wey dey inside you sabi wetin dis purpose be, and na im dey hold dis purpose for you.

Dis na di journey wey you dey take, and you dey take am step by step, for stages. As Knowledge dey become real inside you and you fit follow am for particular matters, di way you dey experience am go grow strong. And you go realise say dem don put redemption inside you to guide you, and say redemption no be just di result of believing concepts or accepting doctrines or doing di motions of showing devotion to one supreme power for di universe. True true, di responsibility wey you get to God na to discover dis greater purpose wey carry you come di world, to accept am and to show am. To do dis one, you must follow Knowledge, and allow Knowledge to remain mysterious, becos e dey exist outside di area of your intellect.

Dis one dey lead to one big re-examination of your life. Becos wit Knowledge, you dey see tins different, and wetin you value dey change, and wetin you dey put first dey change. Maybe you don already experience some of dis change.

Wen you begin experience Knowledge, you dey look for quiet instead of tins wey dey excite you. You dey look for honest dealing wit oda pipo instead of talk wey no get meaning. You dey look for di experience of union inside relationship, instead of just using anoda person to gain advantage for yourself. You dey value wetin you see inside pass wetin you dey think. As time dey go, you dey begin see say who you be no be your mind, and say your mind na true true wonderful instrument of communication for di Spirit, for Knowledge. You dey see your body as vehicle for being inside di world, vehicle wey communication fit flow through, wey contribution fit happen through, and wey you fit experience one deeper joining wit oda pipo wey dey here for di world through am.

You dey here on one journey inside di world. You get di choice: whether to lost inside di world, or to fit experience one greater purpose and one greater reality as you dey inside di world. Dis two roads dey give experience of life wey completely different from each oda. You fit look around you and see di consequences wey dey show clear clear for pipo wey choose to live inside Separation, and di suffering and di uncertainty and di terrible decisions wey dey come out of taking dat position and holding am.

If you look, you go see say di examples of pipo wey dey follow Knowledge dey small well well. You go see di evidence of Knowledge inside dem life, and dis one go inspire you and go remind you say Knowledge dey live inside you too, and say anywhere you go and whatever you do, God dey there.

You get one deeper conscience wey dey tell you wen you dey do sometin wey good and wen you dey do sometin wey no good for you. Wit time, you go learn say wen you see error inside oda pipo, e dey show say dem no dey wit Knowledge, and you go use dis one to make your commitment to Knowledge strong. Instead of condemning di person or di situation, you go see how di need for Knowledge big.

Wit Knowledge, war and fight no go dey. Pipo fit disagree about how to do tins, but dem go agree deep inside about wetin dem must do, wetin dem must settle. Knowledge dey one inside pipo and between pipo. Na di great peacemaker for di world. Na di power wey dey overrule di tendency to condemn, to attack, to do selfish tins and to try conquer oda pipo for your own gain.

Na like say you get forces wey dey fight each oda inside you. Dem completely different. Dem dey go completely different directions. Dem dey throw completely different experience and understanding of life. Dem dey lead you go different directions.

So every day you dey choose which one to follow, wetin to honour and wetin to look for inside yourself and inside oda pipo. As dis one become sometin wey you dey do wit open eye, you go feel say you get authority and ability wey big pass, to decide di kind experience wey you go get.

If you go wit Knowledge, you go feel good, and everytin inside you go agree. If you go against Knowledge, you no go feel alright, e go be as if say betrayal don happen.

You fit go against Knowledge for plenty different reasons: for money; to get fine tins; to get pipo, places and tins. But inside you, you no go feel good about am. If you choose vex and condemning oda pipo, you go feel very bad inside you. You fit feel say you get right, you fit think say na you correct, but you go feel bad inside you. Dem dey break your deeper conscience, and you go feel bad inside you.

You fit try create your own reality and turn your life into whatever you think e suppose be or whatever you want am to be, but you no fit break your deeper conscience without creating suffering inside you.

Here, wetin good and wetin bad na sometin wey you just sabi. Inside di complex work of trying to settle problems and hard choices, cloud fit cover dis basic conscience, and e fit hard pass to recognise di correct road to follow. Na here di intellect dey enter im real service. E must work out how to bring tins about. E dey handle di details, dey handle di particular tins, but na Knowledge must set di real direction.

You get one foundation of right and wrong inside you wey God create. Even if e clash wit di values of your culture and wit wetin society don train you to be, nobody fit change am. Your culture fit teach you to condemn oda pipo and to punish oda pipo for some behaviour, or to doubt oda groups or oda tribes or oda nations. But dis one na breaking of your deeper conscience. So you get one social conscience wey be wetin society train you to be, but den you get one deeper conscience wey God create.

Na di great blessing of your life say di Separation no fit ever complete, and say wetin God create still remain inside you. Na dis one go save you. Na dis one go guide you and hold you back from giving your life away and from making serious mistakes.

Di world na di perfect place to join back wit Knowledge, becos di need big well well. Without Knowledge you lost, and na only wetin you want and wetin you dey fear dey guide you.

You no need to be religious person. You no need to belong to any religious group or hold any religious teaching before you fit return to di power and di presence of Knowledge wey dey inside you. E go serve you inside one religious tradition or outside am, for any world, for any nation, for any culture, for any situation.

But here, plenty pipo be strangers to demselves. To sabi Knowledge again and to join back wit am na wetin be your most basic need for life. After getting food and house and di basic tins wey person need to survive, dis one na di work wey basic pass for you.

To take di Steps to Knowledge, to become student of Knowledge, to learn Di Way of Knowledge na to learn di way of one greater life. You need dis one every day, inside every one of your decisions. You need am to escape from di Hell wey you don create for yourself—from di Hell of uncertainty, from di Hell of judging yourself, from di Hell of fear say you no safe, from di Hell of worry, from di Hell of fear and from di Hell of condemning yourself and oda pipo.

Wen you realise say na Hell be dis, and say e no be just your normal condition, you go begin look deep pass for di evidence of Knowledge. Wen you realise how you dey suffer, how much you dey lose and how many mistakes you dey make, you go want find di source of certainty inside you and inside oda pipo. You go want make dis certainty be di ground where you dey take your decisions, and di foundation of any relationship wey you build wit anoda person.

God don send you enter di world to give special gifts wey involve particular pipo inside particular situations. You must find dis pipo, and you must find dis situations. You go feel say di matter urgent here. Even if you read dis deeper needs wrong, dem go still dey inside you. Dem go dey lead you go front.

As time dey go, you dey marry pipo, you dey attach to places, you dey give your life to some tins. But dis deeper needs still dey, and until dem meet dem, you no go rest, you go feel say your life must move go front, you no go satisfy wit wetin you get. Becos dis ones na di deeper needs of di soul, di needs wey basic pass inside you.

Na only if you discover your greater purpose here and fulfil am, di needs of di soul go meet. Since your intellect no fit work dis one out, you must follow di guidance of Knowledge. And you must learn about di power and di presence of Knowledge inside your life.

E simple well well true true, but e no go look simple, becos your mind go dey confuse. Becos Knowledge dey mysterious, e no dey fit inside your ideas. You no fit control am; you no fit define am; you no fit put am for words for your friends, becos Knowledge na one deep experience of seeing, of sabi and of acting. For di start e go look rare and confusing, but wit time you go see say na di most natural tin wey you fit do.

Dis na your journey inside di world. Na journey wey go continue pass dis world. Na journey wey you no fit define wit ideas alone. Knowledge go carry you go dis journey, and e go give meaning, purpose and direction to your life.

You go see say one deeper current dey inside your life. Pass all your thoughts and all di tins wey dey happen every day, one deeper current dey run inside your life. Na dis one go give you strength and purpose and wisdom as you dey go front.

E necessary here make you realise say who you be no be your mind, no be your thoughts, no be your beliefs, and say your true existence dey pass dem—dey pass dis tins, and say God dey pass dis tins. Idea no fit take di place of real relationship. And real relationship dey pass your ideas. Your real relationship wit God dey pass your ideas, or di ideas of your culture or of your religion.

Wit time, you go move your loyalty go di power of Knowledge. Dis na moving your loyalty go God. Dis na undoing di Separation for di very foundation of your Being.

Here you fit use di mind instead of make e rule you. Here you fit use thoughts and definitions instead of make dem rule you. Here you go fit use di wonderful abilities of your intellect and of your body instead of being slave to dem.

Dis na freedom for one practical form, and e go return you to di nature wey basic pass inside you, and to di greater purpose wey carry you come here, enter di world, for dis time.
