- Greetings everyone, to respond to brother Amankwa. Some of the burden rest on you because it rest on your soul. Just as it rest upon the conations of the Judge? the jury? The police officer that arrested the individual? and the one who committed the offense?. OKomfo's you are part of this, if you do not kwon how your Bosum works, are they moralm, Amoral. Were do all the Okomfo's on this page stand on this question.

Comment by Nana Amankwa on October 29, 2008 at 12:22pm - Greetings everyone, to respond to brother Kwabena I don't necessarily believe that some shrines are with out morals. In examining the behaviors of certain Bosum one may come to the conclusion that in order for that spirit to operate in a certain compacity they must not poses a conscience. For example we all know and have come in contact with Bosum that inflict harm on human beings resulting in physical illness, mental illness, spiritual illness and in extreme cases death. Does this mean that these Bosum do not understand there acts or does this mean we have a different moral view than the Bosum? The Bosum are the law enforcement of the spiritual and physical realm so there judgement and system of penalty is no different than our very own. When someone is convicted of a crime and sentenced to death who will shoulder the ultimate burden of the lost of this individuals life? Is it the Judge? the jury? The police officer that arrested the individual? The one who committed the offense? Or the actual person who carry's out the execution? The executioner as well as everyone else involved has a job to do. Are we to believe all party's who participated are without morals? We also cannot negate the fact that all perceived good and evil is in some form or fashion sanctioned by Almighty God, so the ultimate burden rest on him. We human beings because of our own prospective and morale's tend to want to project our value system onto the Bosum, which can cause much conflict for us when trying to understand there world. We must remove our selves from the 5 senses of judgement and allow the expansion of our paradigm in order to fully understand the prospective of the Bosum. We are more alike than different.

Comment by Kwesi Amoa on October 20, 2008 at 9:14pm - I have not heard of Tigare as a dark spirit. Are you saying so in a negative / bad way. I do know that many shrines that come out of our system are dark in color - so they were called the black shrines.

In the beginning I thought these thing were immoral, as one grows and learns, I fond out that some Shrine’s are moral some are Amoral, were do you stand on this question

Greeting Okomfo Kofi, it is with gravity that I respond to your post. Unfortunately, without all the facts as to why the senior priests in our community said that your husband, Tigare is a dark spirit. If you could give more details I will feel more comfortable about responding to your post. I would suggest that you confer with the priest/s who were responsible for your initiation to explain this point to you. I must admit that this perspective is troublesome for me as a person whom Tigare has worked with very closely. In my experience the only "darkness" that I have perceived from my interactions is that he has been responsible for removing certain energies from my life that would bring harm to me. So please, by all means, post some clarity about this comment and hopefully I can respond. BTW, it is not necessary to state the names of the individuals. It is enough to express from your perspective what you were told and the context in which it was expressed to you.
Continue toward the light and the blessings that you receive from your work with the Abosom.
