Thank you<br /><br />yes, this Ifa teaches us of making calculated decisions when partaking in new ventures which ought to become investments (like the story of Orunmila). Second, when starting a new venture, we need to seriously consider all factors including if SEED money is needed or the best option, for both the short and long term. <br />Some advisors will say the best time to start a new venture is during a down economy, because one will learn the importance of cost efficiency and prudent budget management (frugality), out of necessity. <br /><br />If one can operate a good cash flow vs expense ratio during the hard times, they have a better chance of seeing profit growth during the good times. <br /><br />Once again, I thank you for your comments.... <br />read some of the other older post and let me know your thoughts<br /><br />Aboye Abosise IyaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381672981837058533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506858521191874197.post-55407833579082360142011-08-15T19:56:34.726-07:002011-08-15T19:56:34.726-07:00the debt is merely the symptom of a cumulative, de...the debt is merely the symptom of a cumulative, degenerative process wrought by a system of human organization that produces and harnesses one's ori in such away as to separate it from nature (especially the wisdom of nature). in ifa we know that one's ori supplies all that one needs. when we practice iwa pele we know that generous people are never in want and that sweetness (or idun'nu) will never go unnoticed or undesired. thus, our character essentially governs our limitless wealth. however, in a culture where perceived scarcity (whether real or artificial) creates stronger markets, and both human beings and technology are not considered extensions of nature debt will always appear. in ifa there is not one thing that we do not consider to be an extension of spirit--nature included, of course. hence, our fundamental relationship within the calabash (as established by our consistent practice of adimu and ebo) is based on the understanding that there is no taking without giving, i.e., the balance of trade in spirit is such that the work (be it adimu or ebo) must first be done in order to receive abundance. further, if our spiritual currency (our iwa) is depleted or debased we must first mend it, otherwise our payment (or ire) will be delayed or denied. finally, eshu always ensures that there are no debts--we will pay and we will pay in full. thank you for this post, it really stimulated my thinking regarding ifa's ways of handling money, wealth and resources in contrast to mainstream thinking of currency, markets, and balance!<br />aboru aboye awo!!!soshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538450853027895042noreply@blogger.com
