Seeing Clearly: Perception, Projection, and the Path to Self-Awareness
In Yorùbá wisdom, how we see the world flows from Orí inú — the inner head, seat of destiny and perception. When Orí is clouded, we project fear and imbalance; when nourished, we see truth. With ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ (good character), measured words carrying àṣẹ, ancestral guidance (Ègún), and rituals like èborí and ẹ̀bọ, we restore clarity. To see with Orí inú is to walk in harmony, transforming misperception into blessing.
