Obi Abata • Odu • Orisha • Infinities
The casting elements thru their apparent randomness are actually accessing the shaping factors of reality. The apparent randomness contains EVERY INFINITE POSSIBILITY OF REALITY. Casting appropriately restricts energy to certain ranges and domains of such possibilities. Casting appropriately also provides an intersection between the infinitude of possibilities and those possibilites that shaped the casting environment now experienced as this reality. This intersection is the HERE AND NOW. When casting appropiately, the infinitude of possible realities can collapse to five families revealed using the Four Cowrie Divination System, or nine domains using the Obi Abata Divination System. Fixing energy on here and now restricts knowledge about other possibilities. (In physics this is mirrored as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.) Either divination system provides access to these realities which for this course will be called 'ODU'. Odu are the shaping factors of reality and Orisha are its forces.
