Page "Odinani" Paragraph 20

There is a general spiritual law that one must pass through the lesser supernatural forces before he can make his ways to eternal.

There are various routes that enable one to embark on a spiritual journey ( i. e. different religion e. g. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Eckankar, Judaism, Godianism, Ọdịnalaism and so on ).

No matter the route chosen, one must meet these forces severally on the way.

These supernatural forces are the agents of purification of human beings ( mmadu ).

They effects compressed the road and make it look very narrow.

They may even block the road to eternity and cause people to continue running on cycles and meeting bad spirits.
