The Science of Divination: The Origin of Modern Science and Technology

Divination, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers”.

In the IFA Binary System of Education and Yoruba language, the term, ‘supernatural powers’ means Orisa.

In the scientific context, it means the Energies called the 16 Major Ifa Codes (Odu Ifa) or IFA Binary Digits (IFABit or iBit), which is the foundation of all fields of knowledge, especially modern science and technology.

This is the science of divination.

More specifically, the science of divination is also called Ifa Science or Energy Science, which shows how Orunmila’s number, which is Eight, can be studied as the core component of the Odu Ifa, with the key aim of unifying all fields mathematically and building technologies.

This is an active research area in Physics called the Theory of Everything (TOE) — the problem of knowledge unification.

Ifa, specifically Orunmila’s Number, is the solution to this major unsolved problem in science.

In the Ifa Model of Education, divination systems are generally called Ifa Computers, which are ancient machines that gave birth to modern computers and digital communications technologies.

There are many divination systems around the world, including Ifa/Afa/Fa, Erindinlogun, I Ching, Apache, and many others.

Unlike classical computers and quantum computers, Ifa computers manipulate Energy, which is the underlying structure of all kinds of computers.

The dual (superpartner) of Ifa computers are Oosa computers, which are feminine Energies (Orisa) that serve the same purpose as Ifa Computers — knowledge unification and integration.

Ifa computer: This is the Ifa divination system (operating via Ifa Coding, what’s called Odu Ifa in Yoruba). It’s a 256-iBit system (similar to a 256GB-computer or smartphone).

Oosa computer: This is the Orisa divination system (operating via Oosa Coding, the twin of Ifa Coding, what’s called Odu Oosa in Yoruba).

A good example of Oosa computer is Erindinlogun divination, a 16-iBit computing system (similar to a 16GB-computer or smartphone).

The I Ching of the Chinese is a 64-iBit computing system.

All divination systems are generally called Ifa computers because the same mathematical sciences of Ifa underlie them, i.e., Ifa contains knowledge on all kinds of divination science.

Divination systems are ancient technologies, which are highly advanced.

The major advantage of these systems is they allow us to do science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) in our native tongue, especially as Yoruba and Africans.

Divination systems are key tools of learning in the IFA Binary System of Education, used by Ifa priests and priestesses (babalawo and iyanifa).

Ifa Divination is also known as ToE Divination, CEN Divination, Consciousness Divination, or Energy Divination. It is a key program on the IFA Internet for discovering new knowledge from ancient systems, which can be of benefit to modern humans.
