proverb
The Head Leads the Body — Where the Head Goes, the Body Follows
oriheadleadershipdestinyanatomy
Philosophical Summary
This proverb is the kinetic expression of the Ori theology that runs throughout Eji Ogbe. The head does not follow the body — the body follows the head. In practical terms, this means the inner orientation (consciousness, chosen beliefs, alignment with destiny) determines the direction of all outer circumstances. Feeding, honoring, and aligning the Ori is therefore the most strategic action available to any person.
