Osanobua, God, and AYI  
 
OSANOBUA (Osa) 
Africans who proclaim belief in Osanobua or OSA, and worship God by mistaking it for and associating it with Osanobua are living in a make-believe world. Races who live in a make-believe world of frightful images, and images of mythological entities or Gods of magic and so on are not coping with the technological world. Those that they lead are doomed — the blind leading the blind can only end in the abyss. Salvation is personal, and the sine qua non for its attainment is Spiritual Sovereignty (SS). You can never attain salvation by surrendering and abdicating you sovereignty. That is the law. 
OSAYANADE: Literarily, the day is Osanobua’s, inclusive of every event, actor, and action. Hence, Osanobua does not interfere such as taking part in some aspects to the exclusion of other aspects. OSA does not have privileged or chosen race, tribe, or people. It is not the case that some of the periods of the day, or days and months of the year are OSA’s and the rest not.  
OSARODION: OSA does not need to prove OSA. OSA for example will never say, “I shall show you today, that I indeed am God.” Osanobua neither makes sacrifices nor bows nor genuflects before any Person, God, Deity, or Juju. God by contrast sacrificed his only begotten son to redeem the world. 
OSAIGBOVO: Osanobua is not jealous. But God is jealous, so says He.  
OSAIBUEKU: Osanobua does not judge lest Osanobua would have to punish the guilty. OSA neither punishes not satisfies the passions of Homo sapiens. God judges the living and the dead. He may also send some to hell fire. 
OSAIRUORIAE: Osanobua is incapable of damaging or ruining things or people. Osanobua does not visit the sins of one generation on innocent descendants; neither does Osanobua take any life. (Taking lives is the duty and function of OGIUWU, one of OSA’s descendants according to mythology). OSA is exalted at the knowledge that OLOKUN (not the son of God but descendant of Osanobua) owns the wealth on earth and bestows wealth on who he likes. OLOKUN as OSA’S descendant is King and Ruler of the whole wealth on earth. Osanobua has no passions; hence, can never be sad, displeased, angry, happy, satisfied, etc. Osanobua has many descendants, including the begotten among Homo sapiens (humankind). OSA is not “father” of just one person. Each of us is ovbi-Osanobua (OVBI means baby, child, or miniature form of. . .) 
OSANOBUA does not expect of us, any worship, neither has OSA raised any messenger or own spokes person or soul merchants - fishers of men - for OSA. 
OSANOBUA is never separated from Homo sapiens as the whole day, everyday is OSA’S. Hence, the quest for reconciliation with OSANOBUA does not arise. (One should instead reconcile one with the creation process to become a positive participator.) No Homo sapiens existed, exists, or will ever exist before or outside of Osanobua. OSANOBUA is no receiver of blood offerings, never was, and never shall be. GOD needs and craves being worshipped, and with blood sacrifices. God said that God would raise even rocks to worship God, if all of humankind were to go on strike.  
We begotten beings, IVBI-OSANOBUA (ivbi is the plural of ovbi) neither crave union with, nor genuflect before God, any God or Gods, because we derive sovereignty from Archetypal Ancestors (AA). God needs God’s chosen people alone. My HEAD alone do I exalt and propitiate with anointing. I may beseech my Ehi to remind me of the plans that I announced before Osanobua in preparation to come to this world. I may also order the intercession by Ehi when my plans were being threatened beyond the Ebo of my will.  
OSANOBUA does not father children to be born of mortal women, or live as one among Homo sapiens. Osanobua would otherwise be having in-laws from a tribe/Race, privileged Holy Families, Tribe and Race.  
OSA is not of this world. To father Homo sapiens would subtract from the transcendence and absoluteness of OSA. OSANOBUA is not of this world or Earth; it is God that is of this world, whose messengers are teaching that God would one day move God’s administrative headquarters from heaven to Earth. Osanobua has no pilgrimage sites on earth, so that you will never observe Africans fighting over ownership of holy sites. 
I have no qualm about either God or Osanobua being creator of the World, provided that basic facts are recognized, namely (i) that AYI created both God and Osanobua among other things. AYI, not either God or Osanobua, created the universe. We say in Edo Language (Benin language) “AYI n’ye Osanobua.” (meaning AYI, the creator of Osanobua)  (ii)   The paradigm that, “Whatsoever one wills shall be fulfilled through the instrumentality of Edo.”  
AYI The All-Creator, AYI THE CREATOR OF CREATORS 
AYI the All-Creator is the creator of all. AYI’s role in the universes is all-embracing.  AYI did not create the universes and rested or departed. AYI neither transferred nor delegated roles.   AYI never ceases — creation of the universe, or in the universe is not completed. It never will be completed in the sense that further creation would cease. We all are participators in the continued creation in, and of the universe.  
AYI is an Edo word. Ayi derives from the verb “yi”. “Yi” is to create. Every adult speaker of Edo language uses and understands the expression, “Ayi no ye Osanobua”.  
AYI NO YE OSANOBUA translates as, “AYI that created Osanobua”. Christians, Muslims, and believers in religions of the Book translate the word “God” as Osanobua. Before God the creator, religions, and His creations, AYI was existent. This is not a personal opinion, but is a fact that anyone who has sense must infer. AYI is not limited to one universe or the earth. AYI has no messengers, priesthood, ministers, etc. Nature of AYI ultimately is a mystery. Religious people who worship the God of their masters are silent about AYI for reasons best known to them. No one can wish AYI away.  
Edo as a people or ethnic group, creates images of Osanobua; none of Ayi. No sane person represents AYI with an image. This is important to note so that people do not simply substitute Ayi for God or start praying to it, or worshiping it. (Pray instead to Ebo URIGB’OGBAN.) AYI did more than create God the Creator. It is still present in the universes, where creation processes are ongoing. We should endeavor to remain part of AYI — we already are. One should endeavor not to lose one’s relevance.  
FOUNDERS, MASQUERADES and PRIMORDIAL ANCESTORS (PA) 
The FOUNDERS of the world later “left”, after handing the running of the world to their heirs. “Leaving” simply means that our PA (Primordial Ancestors) lost the faculty or capability to access them unmediated. We of today are the inheritors of the keys (including wisdom, laws, Language, etc.) that they handed over. The keys are with the MASQUERADE. “MASQUERADE” should not be understood in the sense of dance masquerade that tourists can watch. MASQUERADE represents custodians of the mystery of the never ceasing creation process of the Universe, in the context of AYI. MASQUERADES exist, so does Anti-Masquerade (the agents of evil or witchcraft, psychic power, soul power, astral powers for magic, cannibalism, etc.). 
The line of ancestry is from FOUNDERS through Archetypal Ancestry to AA (Archetypal Ancestors). These are transcendental entities above human comprehension. PA are the human forms who are the direct descendants of AA. They mark the harbingers of Homo sapiens, being of both AA and what became Homo sapiens; Homo sapiens are of both mundane and spiritual nature. A family tree of several sub-lineages fanned out from the PA. Each race inherited nature, shape, and form from one or more of the sub-lineages. Human beings derive their nature from one or the other of these sub-lineages of ancestors who are mortal. The Black Race inherited magical powers of creating through the instrumentality of Ebo from PA. There is a name in mother tongues of Africans for each stage. Including the names here can only confound an already complex phylogeny. The average reader need not remember these details. He/she should focus on just the AA. The LINK is between the AA on one hand and every racial lineage on the other hand. 
The lineage between AA and the human Race from thence till this moment has not been broken or interrupted. Humankind did not go on vacation. We all were begotten originally, not made or created. Ancestor worship (which must have started as the worship of PA) has its roots in this relationship of being begotten, albeit misunderstood version of the relationship. AA has neither flesh nor blood. They were never born; hence, they could not die. They do not have the passions of humankind. The concept of mortality (or immortality) does not apply in their case.  
The Founders of the World set out the destiny of the world and kept it in “The Mask”, or with the MASQUERADE, which acts as the mediator. This is the destiny that they bequeath our PA.   
This same primordial destiny was transmitted over eons from age to age and generation to generation until the arrival of the harbinger of witchcraft or cannibalism on the scene. The Law of aging, decay, or disintegration, as necessity plays out as upheavals or war breaking down structures and constituent elements or essences. This manifests in the world as war between sustainers of good as represented through the good sane genuine MASQUERADE on one hand and the Lord of the shadows of death, the agents of evil or witchcraft (psychic power, soul power, astral powers for magic, cannibalism, etc.) in the world on the other hand. Oscillation of events between good and evil produces what is also known as PULSATION. The whole universe pulsates like a single human heart. Everything and non-thing, life forms, atoms, planets, cells, events, etc. forming the cosmos and situated within it pulsates as the rhythm of battles in the universe and world.  
The Law of pulsation is eternal and determines or is the ultimate cause, or the necessity for all manifestations in the universes to change. The events consequent on change includes the arrival and departure of the Founders of the world, the ongoing war between people of good will on one hand, and the Lords of witchcraft and cannibalism in the world on the other hand.  
Powers which drive evil magic or witchcraft (astral, psychic power, soul power, magic, spiritualism, etc.) cause cataclysmic events. These are the same categories of events that manifest as schizophrenia or insanity in personalities or aberrant behavior of whole communities as mob behaviors. It is still out of control in some continents, races, or communities. What started as cosmic insanity has now evolved into the goals of conspirators. These causes manifest as incessant conflicts and battles (especially where Traditional or Messianic Religions hold sway). These battles will continue until the fulfillment of The Prophecy.  
Part of the manifestations of change (we have a name for this) was the emergence of primal ancestors through a process of mutation. They were a hybrid of sorts. The cataclysmic events were multitudes and varied in nature. One category was the creation of Anti-Masquerade (the agents of evil or witchcraft, psychic power, soul power, astral powers for magic, cannibalism, etc.) in the world attempting to manipulate the primordial destiny as encoded in MASQUERADE or mysteries. The primordial destiny cannot be altered; what happened instead were transformations in the relationships between those trying to alter the primordial destiny on one hand, and the primordial destiny on the other hand.  
A strand or lineage formed when they mutated and they went through transmutation or a sort of metamorphosis. This had a compound ripple effect with all sorts of beings going through all sorts of mutations. In other words, all variables became varied.  
A category of some of the beings that resulted from this chaos or confusion is the creator of what is known today as God of creation to some tribes, especially the believers of the Religion of the Book. This includes the so-called creator God of heaven, earth, hell, angels, devils, Adam, Eve, etc. These are all aspects or introduction of the dwellers to a new world of obsessions of flesh and blood, and base passions (such as jealousy).  
The World founded by the Founders of the World which is devoid of evil passions and vices is in tact. Just as there were men before Abraham, so were there essential superior forms and powers before God — they were more ancient than God; it follows. These include what the Benin call Ayi n’oye Osanobuwa (Literarily the Creator (i.e. Ayi) that created Osanobua (as the founder of prosperity in the world on earth). Osa-no-bu-uwa founded (bu) or established prosperity (uwa) in the world on earth. This is never understood as the creator of either the world or the earth.  
However, Osanobuwa is sometimes called Osanobua (or even Osalobua) by Christians and Muslims who sort the closest word whose idiom approximates the creator God of Moses and the Prophets or messengers of God of Adam and Eve. The mysteries of AYI or the Mask/Masquerade has no name in any human language. It has no passions that human beings may try to meet through worship. It is beyond imagination. The masquerade attempts to communicate the direct descendants NOT of the God of Eden.   
New versions of beings and destinies emerged (and are still emerging) as those who broke away from the main stream. Ebo of Man and woman of today has origins in bones on earth, and is developing spiritually. You must resolve now, if you had not resoled already, that either you shall stay with those on this path or would find out later that you were trapped in illusion. This is the illusion of spending eternity on earth, and suffering the pains of the passions that go with flesh and blood. The Anthem Of Grace among others is intended for curing you of all impurities and corrupting influences that have separated you from Spiritual Sovereignty or Salvation on one hand or kept you alienated and in union with the passions on the other hand. Primordial destiny prevailed and still prevails, though ignored or unknown to the ancestors of God, descendants of God, and creations of God among others.  
Passions of God 
The overriding drive of God was the passion for blood along with being worshiped. This passion grew out of the pains of losing the link to the primordial destiny. It craved for worship like an abandoned baby would crave for attention and soothing from people around as substitution for the love of parents. This is the God of dead ancestors, religion, and worship, whose religion has many forms and interpretations.  
Another strand of creators was the product of the obsessed persons or schizophrenics. Their ancestors created, through initiation rituals, the bodies that dwell today inside human bodies as the vehicles of consciousness of the host persons. These souls or astral bodies attend Sabbaths and go on astral projections. They develop in the persons according to the potions ingested during initiation rituals. The astral bodies (or ababe in Edo) are the spiritual bodies that are also the souls of spiritualists. These are the dead of Halloween. They animate zombies. These are not among the category of persons with intelligence; they thus are not capable of getting in direct contact with AA. They can only get in touch with the powers that are inferior to natural beings or Ebo. They cannot be more intelligent than their creators. The divinations carried out through these bodies (e.g. séances and oracles of dead ancestors) are illusions which reinforce the imprisonment in this world as zombies, mummies, and the like.  
This strand of creators is the lineage of Anti-Masquerade, the God of cultism, sacrifice, blood rituals, possession/obsession initiation, etc. (includes the God of John the Divine as he recorded in The Book Of Revelation of the Judaic/Christian Bible, namely that the abode/dwelling of God is crimson, the robe of His attendants being scarlet - “having been washed in the blood of the lamb”.) These were interested in feasting and exploitation of others to meet their requirements for the feast as in the Sabbath. They are incapable of bestowing or transferring transcendental powers.  Association with them leads to death and existence as zombies.  Only the persons who can rewrite the destinies which the conspirators had written for them can triumph and escape the doom. 
Before God There Were Creators 
Long before God the creator and His creation came into existence, other creators existed and several creation processes passed. Parallel creations have continued both outside and inside the consequences of His creation. Creation process is a cardinal characteristic of the presence of “AYI the creator” in or of the multi-universe. It is a permanent presence that is indicative of a living universe. This is the singular characteristic that marks the living from the dead. Creation ceases at death; it would not matter what was dying — man, woman, plant, rocks, gods, goddesses, heaven, the earth, etc. The multi-universe is alive. We know that it is because it never ceases to propagate and explode. The processes are continuous marked by cataclysmic instances concerning the earth. 
Change (Aalga) is a passive record of growing or decaying. Change is constant, never ceasing. Growing and decaying is a passive process which is different from living and dying. Living is to create; dying is to gradually cease to create — to create less and less until decay of the erstwhile creator sets in. Whether or not one was creating, dying, decaying, or growing, change was a constant.
