16
ASE EVERYONE, IWORI OBAFEMI SPEAKING.
EVER SINCE I STARTED LEARNING ABOUT IFA I HAVE HAD MORE QUESTIONS TO THE MEANING OF LIFE. AND ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS IS:
HOW CAN 16 PATTERNS REPRESENT THE FOUNDATION OF THE UNIVERSE?
This question came about when I learned that within the 16 mejis, came 256 odus, and out of that came 1680 stories, ALL relating to our experiences we have here on Earth.

Another thing I find interesting is that the mejis and odus are basically patterns of black and white.
It reminds me of the binary code; The zeros and ones that run all the computers and the video games we know and love.
As well as the saying Infinite Shades of Grey, for the odus are different mixtures of light and dark.
SO THEN I THOUGHT, SIXTEEN IS A SPECIAL NUMBER AND ONE THAT SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.
16 is the age when a woman is old enough to find a mate which is why we have sweet 16 parties as tradition
According to R. Allendy, it represents "the role of the Karma 6 in the cosmic unit 10. This role consists in creating a current of evolution (1 + 6 = 7) but towards two opposite directions, so that, by itself, 16 even number, is unable to choose." As a product of 2 x 8, it is the positive evolution leading to the karmic liberation, or the negative evolution leading to an increasingly tight sequence in the cycles of nature.
Sum of the four first odd numbers (1+3+5+7=16) which, by theosophical addition, gives 1+6=7, the sacred number. In other religious text, God rested on the seventh day.
The magic square using the first sixteen numbers is associated with Jupiter for it has 16 satellites

ONE EXPLANATION FOR 16 REALLY STICKS TO ME: "AS A PRODUCT OF 2 X 8, IT IS THE POSITIVE EVOLUTION LEADING TO THE KARMIC LIBERATION, OR THE NEGATIVE EVOLUTION LEADING TO AN INCREASINGLY TIGHT SEQUENCE IN THE CYCLES OF NATURE."
I JOINED IFA TO HELP ME LIBERATE MYSELF OF MY KARMIC SHACKLES. AND SO FAR, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY. YOUR LIFE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO YOUR FOUNDATION OF BELIEFS. AND IFA SERVES AS MY VEHICLE TO BIOLOGICAL AND MENTAL EVOLUTION. I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED RELIGION, BUT FOR WHAT WE ARE AIMING TO ACHIEVE, WE WILL NEED A BELIEF SYSTEM THAT WILL AID OUR MIND INTO MANIFESTING THE REALITY WE WANT FOR OURSELVES.
