“Good day sir, I sincerely want to use this opportunity to thank God for all that he has been using you to do in many lives for which I am a witness. My own case started for quite some time, when I travelled to my village for my cousin’s wedding. When I came back, I started having serious stomach problem, which took me to the hospital and the doctor recommended so many tests that I did and the results showed that nothing was wrong with me, yet I was dying and was in serious, excruciating pain. When all medical efforts failed, I resorted to visiting prayer houses and churches. They confirmed it was poison, yet all the prayers had no effect. I kept praying but nothing happened; my husband finally told me that he has been reading the articles of Prof. Nathan Uzorma every Wednesday in The Sun Newspaper and he decided to call him. When Prof. Nathan was contacted, he asked us to order three bottles of the oil for immediate healing. We did as he instructed and applied the oil. Thereafter, my health was fully restored. I am healed now to the glory of God.” Mrs. Chinedu, 08096577756.

“I delayed this testimony for a reason and now I have the true reason to share it. It happened in December 2015, when I travelled to my village. The evil people attacked us in so many ways but before we went to the village, I ordered your oil and used it for the prayer that you gave us. After the Christmas celebration, they went to my house and planted charms but the person that did it was later affected by the charms. My wife that has been barren for 12 years had her baby last month. We are getting ready to go home now so we need it again sir … My village is evil and my brothers demonic, but God will give us victory.” (Names and contact withheld).

The human body, which is the governor of carnal desire, has always kept man down; as a result, the spiritual consciousness of man is hardly awakened and until this is done man shall continue to see himself as a core identity of materialism. In the words of Dr. Regardie, “Most of the time, man uses the psychic centres unconsciously when he prays or meditates.

One philosopher has this to say, “People have just as much work to do on their bodies as on their psychology. In fact, if the psychological work is not linked up, not only with the spirit but with the body, the angel is denied its fruits and the debt, which has been incurred through the deviation on forms, will not be redeemed.” Humanity has a lot of work to do in order to understand the real spiritual nature of being. We must rise above the material nature through struggle with sincerity, fact, faith and discipline. The lower division of the physical is made up of solids, liquids, and gases, which are able to be detected by our five foremost physical senses that in reality are really one.

Mere religious thought cannot do this because religion per se is always the external façade of inner reality. If I am asked to define the phenomenon called religion, I may end up exasperating some people who esteem me highly consequent upon my religious commitment. On the other hand, the same people can attest to my loyalty and radicalism in all aspects particularly when it comes to intellectualism. For the purpose of clarity, however, I want to attempt a definition of religion as it relates to the present-day world as “man’s implement of dominion over his fellow man.”

Though religion is a system of exercising one’s “spiritual right” of worship for his creator or creators. So many scholars have advance so many definitions of religion but like Plato would say, “If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.” In addition to this he who negates research has destroyed his faith and belief, for a good decision is based on knowledge born of research and not on numbers.

The great American psychologist, Prof. James H. Leuba, collected 48 definitions from 48 great authors, added two of his own to make a round figure of 50 definitions of religion and yet found that religion had not been adequately defined. The problem of having a complete definition, however, confirms that religion is a complex phenomenon.

This aspect is the inner reality of religious drama that goes beyond all forms of religious theories, philosophical, psychological, theological, anthropological, social and otherwise. My intension here is not to offend some avid readers of my column as religion has always caused a lot of wars and disputes, separated families, friends and nations. I may offend many on account of saying the truth that has been buried for ages, only the sincere seekers may not accuse me of apostasy, bigotry and syncretism  because they are aware that, on the way to academic destiny, discoveries are common.

Now, there is the inner and outer world, the outer world is a reflection of the inner reality. The inner knowledge can be compared to a book about a homeland that a traveler takes with into a strange country. Each man is born with the yearning to make truth real for himself, though he sees a great difference between them and the environment in which he lives. An internal drama is carried out by each individual, a psychic drama which is finally projected outward with great force upon the field of history. The birth of great religious events emerges from the interior religious drama. The drama is a psychological phenomenon in a way, the physical-oriented self feels thrust alone into a strange environment, without knowing its origin or destination or even the reason for its own existence. Like Albert Einstein would say, “the search for truth is more precious than its possession.” I wish to re-authenticate this by asserting that the hardest thing to understand is why anything at all should be understood.

The above is the dilemma of the ego, particularly in this early stage, which looks outward for answers because this is its nature; to manipulate within physical reality. It also senses, however, a deep and abiding connection that it does not understand, with other portion of the self that are not under its domain. It is also aware that this inner self possesses knowledge upon which its own existence is based.

Be informed that some are chosen by others to manifest outwardly the interior truths that are intuitively known. There are many levels of significance here. On the other hand, such individuals receive their unearthly abilities and power from their fellows, contain it, and exhibit it in the physical world for all to see. They play the part of the blessed inner self that actually cannot operate within physical reality uncloaked by flesh. This energy, however, is a quite valid projection from the interior self.

The personality so touched by it actually does then become, in certain terms, what he seems to be. He will emerge as an eternal hero of the interior religious drama. This is a continuous activity! When the strength of one great religion begins to diminish and its physical effects grow less, then the internal drama begins once again to quicken. The highest of man’s aspirations, therefore, will be projected upon physical history. The drama it selves will differ. Remember, they are built up internally first.
