The Opon Ifa as Subsuming Ontological and Epistemological Orientations of Ifa Dvination:Mediation between Modes of Being and Forms of Knowledge





Ohomina’s conception of the Odu, in relation to the Yoruba conception of the comprehensive knowledge of Orunmila, could be described in terms of a primordial intelligence through which is mediated/which mediates/on which is inscribed the ontological identity of all forms of/in existence.

This idea can be used as a postulate operating as a springboard for developing other ideas the validity of which does not depend on an acceptance of this underlying/inspirational/overarching idea.

See Kepler-in the beginning God geometrized.

Newton-on God at the end of the Principia.

Stephen Hawkin-the mind of God in relation to the Unified Field Theory.
