Choosing our Role in the Revolution

Choosing our Role in the Revolution

The Y.oruba A.ssembly M.ovement was created as an extension of HRM Oba Adefunmi II's current reign and the continuation of the vision of the Father of the Cultural Restoration Movement, HRH Oba Adefunmi I. This national collective of youth and elders are walking in and toward the destiny of a renewed era of disciplined cultural codes of conduct.

The inaugural PAGA, (Pan African Grassroots Assembly) June 29-July 1, 2012  marks an unprecedented historic event in the convergence of pan africans, healers, educators, gardeners, writers, artists, good food revolutionaries, midwives and sacred activists seeking to forge agendas and strategic action plans.

The common point of intersection for Assembly attendents is
"Culture as the Chief Magistrate of one's destiny". In rebuilding our world packed full of choices for the next generation we must access sustainable choices, prioritize, create and be the innovators, cultural ambassadors, wayshowers of "thinking outside the box".

As the web of merchants, markets, craftpersons and tradesmen develop  better systems of exchange, larger discussions begin toward the legacies we are leaving for our children to inherit. What is our economic security and what type of economy are we building for our children.
More important and equally as necessary is the discipline to grow wisdom and the practical application of their cultural and spiritual inheritance in ways that will support, manifest and multiply abundance in their lives, families and households.

To this end, the marriage between the Assembly and the Odun Ifa brings to birth our current working definition of purpose and committment. True enough, these days....the most committed not only wins but raises the bar for the emerging leadership. Far beyond the candle, coconut and $16 dollars or 3200 cowries, we each have the opportunity to support the cosmic order to move us forward overcoming formidable opposition.

As in the story of Moses, reluctant to the task, asked..."Shall I really part the Red Sea?" And no ultimately he didn't, but was obedient to the will and voice within to show up, be accountable...allowing God/Goddess?Divinity to move through him.

And for every year that Noah pleaded with family, friends and neighbors to help build the ark...when the flood waters rose...not everyone was on it?

Our sacred contracts with Divinity, connected to our ancestral soul through the ascended Light energy of our holy mothers and fathers of yesterday and tomorrow grow stronger with guidance for the navigation of our life's journey.

This IS the hour....and we Are the ones we have been waiting for.
