There are six dimensions within each of us, which all interact together, knowledge is everything is energy and all energy reacts in creating the whole.
The Bio-physical Body
The emotional body
The Moral Religious or Spiritual body
The Energetic (etheric) self, the energetic template of the biophysical.
The Bloodlines of Ancestors passed.
Cosmic Powers or ruling Deity
Spiritual Cosmic powers govern the Universe, (for example Iyami, The Earth & Water Mothers, and Orisha). If there is an imbalance in one of more of these six times dimensions, we will not be healthy or physically fit. Instead, there is a spiritual derangement between you and your ancestors and your deity. You will not be healthy.
The Ancestors are reborn through the same bloodlines, and they do not want to be born into a dysfunctional family line. To stop this from happening, they will let themselves be known. And this is done in many ways, via illnesses, misfortune, accidents, disharmony, or chaos towards the living ancestor. In the center of the visible and the invisible worlds is a crossroads. The crossroads is a dangerous place to teeter on, why? Because it may represent a location "between the worlds" and, as such, a site where supernatural spirits can be contacted, and paranormal events can take place. Symbolically, it can mean a locality where two realms touch and therefore represents a border land, a place literally "neither here nor there", "betwixt and between”, yet a place filled with unresolved fears and phobias.
Spiritual derangements usually involve putting it right with the ancestors. When spirits demand something they do not take not as an answer. Westerners always want to negotiate their own way and by doing this the result is consequence. Disorders are created by some sort of wrongdoing.
The work and processes of working with the Iyami, Orisha (forces of nature) and the Ancestors offers us the ability and humility of reaching out to the intelligent consciousness who exist as part of our cosmology and atmosphere. In doing this, we move beyond the known and become teachable as we accept…
We learn to ask for guidance
We learn to call forth intelligent help
We divine and placate and show reverence.
We apologize for our wrong behavior.
We cross the bridge to clean ourselves up, personally and globally.
In return we receive blessings, abundance and gifts pertaining to our evolved nature.
