Osenabo—Ogwu Ifuzo: The Dangerous Shortcut to Opening the Pineal Gland in Odinani

In today’s society, where many seek instant power, shortcuts have become dangerously common. One such shortcut is Osenabo, an artificially concocted charm designed to forcefully open the pineal gland (also known as the ‘third eye’), allowing a person to see beyond the physical realm at an unnatural rate. Unlike the natural process of spiritual awakening, which requires discipline and gradual development, Osenabo is a reckless and hazardous method that leads to irreversible consequences.


Osenabo: A Risky Path to Supernatural Sight

Osenabo is not to be confused with Ose Ose, which is Ose naabo, Ose x2, in Afa language, which has one of its multiple meanings as: the two eyes with which one sees the mortal world. Rather, the Osenabo we are referring to in this context is a mystical elixir made from herbs and animal parts, consumed orally or applied in other ways to trigger supernatural vision. It has gained popularity in this modern age among traditional seers, diviners, and even certain religious figures like pastors and prophets who seek a shortcut to spiritual power. Instead of dedicating themselves to rigorous training and mastery, they ingest this charm to forcibly engage the spiritual realm, often inviting foreign deities or energies to assist them.

But at what cost?


The Consequences of Osenabo

Our ancestors understood that tampering with the natural order of things has serious repercussions, not just for the individual, but sometimes for their entire lineage and community. This is why such mystical mechanisms were traditionally approached with extreme caution, and antidotes were always on hand when they were used. But in modern times, how many Dibias can confidently say they possess such antidotes? And for those who do, how many are willing to share them, knowing the reckless way these shortcuts are being abused?

Some of the immediate and long-term consequences of using Osenabo include:

  • Dependence on intoxicants: Many who use Osenabo find themselves reliant on stimulants or substances to activate their spiritual sight, weakening their natural abilities.

  • Physical afflictions: Blindness is a common outcome for those who put these mixtures directly into their eyes. Many others suffer from chronic stomach ailments due to consuming it orally.

  • Shortened lifespan: It is well-documented that those who use Osenabo rarely live beyond 50 years, or to their full destined age. They fall out of favor with their spiritual guides, and typically die mysteriously.

  • Madness and spiritual disconnection: Artificially induced spiritual power can lead to mental instability. Without the discipline to control such visions, many are unable to handle the influx of spiritual information and lose their sanity.

  • Lack of true spiritual wisdom: One of the most telling signs of Osenabo’s failure is that while it grants the ability to ‘see,’ it does not grant the wisdom or solutions needed to solve problems. Foresight without wisdom is chaos.


The Natural Path to Awakening the Pineal Gland

Odinani does not support the use of unethical or unnatural methods to awaken spiritual abilities. True spiritual sight comes through alignment with one’s Chi and spiritual destiny. The safest and most powerful way to activate the pineal gland is through discipline, purity, and alignment with natural laws. Here are some of the most effective ways:

  1. Observing Nso or Iwu Chi: Avoiding actions, foods, and energies that disrupt one’s spiritual energy or alignment.

  2. Honoring Nso or Iwu Agwu: Following the taboos and sacred laws that govern one’s spiritual gifts.

  3. Maintaining energetic purity: Eating clean, staying light, and avoiding impurities that dull spiritual awareness.

  4. Deep connection with nature: Spending time in nature, listening to the land, and engaging in elemental communication or grounding.

  5. Breathwork and meditation: Practicing deep, conscious breathing to activate inner awareness naturally.

If it is part of a person’s destiny to have heightened spiritual vision, their guides will open it for them gradually, in alignment with what they can handle. No true spiritual path is rushed.


Beware of the Shortcuts

Osenabo as a charm is a trap. Those who use it may gain temporary supernatural sight, but they lose much more in return: their health, their peace, their connection to their Chi, and in some cases their very lives.

Our ancestors knew better. We must also learn to trust the process, honor our positive traditions, and cultivate patience in our spiritual journey. The wisdom of the divine is never hurried. If you seek true vision, seek it the right way. There are no shortcuts to destiny.
