FÂ (
IFÂ )
FÂ IS THE GOD
SOOTHSAYER THE GOD OF THE ORACLE
FÂ
is indeed, the god that one consults in moments of great
difficulties, when all goes badly; but also, when the calm
of the existence is too important. One consults it before to
undertake an important action, an essential act. In sum one
seeks namely if instants to come are to approach with
serenity. One does not expect a calamity of its share, at
the very most, it will announce to you uncertain hours, but
also of hours of hope.
Here is
why.
" ... One
tells that in old times, bit after that the
harmony
that reigned in the beginning is
destroyed,
one of the children of the god Fâ,very proud son,
refused to incline ahead in front of its father. And as you
know, we
believe
that the first duty of all man is the absolute respect of
the ancient; respect, deference and modesty. To the
continuation this
unspeakable
offense; to the continuation of this unworthy behavior of
its
son,
Fâ
had pulled the world,
in silence; it went.
After
that the god is pulled the world,
it occur
the terrible calamities on the
earth.
Null was not saved, men or beasts. More
nobody
could
lead a normal existence. The earth had become if arid that
animals
scrape
stones that strew the ground with their muzzles to give the
illusion to
feed.
Son of Fâ were terrified. They it were more albeit
men; because
they
knew all that they were responsible of the misfortunes of
the creations,
although an alone
among
them offended their father. Son climbed all at the summit of
the
palm
tree anointed. From there, they supplicated their father to
return on
earth in
order that misfortunes of men come to an end. Fâ
refused. Fâ
refused
to return among the creation; but, taken compassion, the god
gave
sixteen
palm tree walnut
to its children; walnuts anointed in which the
god
enclosed
all the knowledge; the know that is indispensable to the
creation.
These
walnuts are instruments of the art of thesoothsayer.
An art
whose practice is very long to
acquire.
It is necessary many years of apprenticeship to become
a good
soothsayer
and to to be in measure to second the god Fâ in its
mission. The practitioner has to know
the
sixteen ways of the wisdom.
It has to possess
perfectly
their meanings. Each path of the wisdom has
a
name;
and each path
of the
wisdom is represented
by a figure.
That - here is formed by a
totality
of eight
lines, simple or doubles, that retort in two four groups. In
all,
sixteen
combinations of these lines are possible;
is
sixteen figures for so much ways of the
wisdom.
The number sixteen is not a chance; it is our
first
number
anointed. It has become it to the continuation of upheavals
that had
producted
in the beginning.
According to
the combination of lines ( figure ) that appears
during
manipulations
of walnuts by the soothsayer, that - here will tell to
consult it
the
history
of the corresponding way.
It will tell it what is happen to
gods,
when
they have informed to ignore the wisdom that corresponds it.
It will
tell it
finally the precise meaning of the way; but
there,
it is Fâ that will
express.
Purposes of the soothsayer, for this part, are the gender: "
Fâ
tells.....
" It belongs then to the consultant to
reflect
and to apply
the
teaching of this wisdom has its personal problem. This
effort has to
allow it
to determine the conduct to
hold.
I repeat it:
neither
the soothsayer, nor the Spirit Fâ will give you the
solution to your problem.
At the very most, will allow - they to
give
you an
advice or a notice. Does not leave you to misuse by words
neither by
men. The
teaching of the god is very precise and well defined; it can
not
give
place to calculation.
Walnuts
anointed original, those that Fâ gave once to its son,
are preserved
to the
center
of the world;
they are used solely during the
intronisation
of
kings; or well to the opportunity of very important
ceremonies.
Remember-
you that it is the totality
of the sixteen walnuts
that represents
the
wisdom of the ancient. Remember - you equally that
each
walnut wears in it all the
knowledge,
and not only a fraction of that - here. Here is why
the
sixteen
have to be used totality. I mean that walnuts are
an alone
and same entity;
a unique entity, although appearing in sixteen
parts.
