The Philosophy of Ashingne Tradition and the Practice of Spiriletics: A Reflection for Ngiafon Leyayayo Newsletter

  admin abcd 44 comments

In the quiet moments of reflection, when the world slows down, and we are left to confront the essence of our being, there is a profound realization that emerges—our lives, though seemingly bound by the physical, are deeply intertwined with the spiritual forces that govern the universe. This realization forms the bedrock of the Ashingne tradition and its philosophical practice,

known as Spiriletics. Like an ancient river flowing through the valleys of time, the wisdom of our ancestors courses through us, urging us to reconnect with our true selves and the divine forces that shape our destiny.

 

The Ashingne tradition invites us to look beyond the veil of modernity, capitalism, and materialism, which often disguise the true nature of life. As we rush through life’s daily demands, we risk losing sight of the deeper meaning that has always been within our grasp. Like a mirage in the desert, the more we chase the illusion of success, wealth, and fame, the further we drift from the

wellspring of peace, fulfillment, and contentment that lies within. The practice of Spiriletics calls us back to balance, energy, and the flexibility of the mind, body, and spirit. It is here, in this equilibrium, that we rediscover ourselves, not as fragmented beings bound by time, but as eternal souls, deeply connected to the source of all creation.

 

Human Nature: The Unveiling of the Soul

 

To observe a human being, to truly look into the eyes of another, is to witness a mystery unfold. There is a saying that "not all that glitters is gold." As we gaze upon the polished exterior of people, we often miss the complex, sometimes dark, inner world they carry. Within each of us, there is both light and shadow, and it is through disciplined self-awareness that we begin to

understand the depths of our own existence. As described in the Ashingne tradition, the body is a mere cloak, a blanket of flesh that hides a far more intricate and often scarred soul. We are reminded, therefore, to approach life and others with mindfulness, for what we see is often not the full truth.

 

Human beings, despite their potential for compassion, can be driven by forces that lead them astray—greed, selfishness, violence, and the pursuit of material gain. History is replete with examples of this. Consider the European colonization of Africa, where indigenous spiritual traditions were suppressed, and people were enslaved under the guise of progress and

civilization. Entire societies were dismantled for profit, their cultures demonized. The Ashingne tradition teaches that this kind of exploitation is the manifestation of Mamon—the spirit of capitalism that seeks to commodify everything, including human life, for selfish gain.

 

And yet, within each of us lies the power to choose differently. Spiriletics offers a path to transcend these destructive patterns. It teaches that the soul’s true nature is to live in harmony with others, to seek peace, and to contribute to the collective good. As we step into this awareness, we realize that true freedom and success are not measured by what we

possess, but by how deeply we live in alignment with our spiritual purpose.

 

The Collective and the Individual: A Path to Change

 

In today’s world, individualism reigns supreme. The once communal spirit of our ancestors has been overshadowed by the insatiable pursuit of personal gain. The Ashingne tradition encourages us to return to the collective consciousness—to see ourselves not as isolated beings but as threads in the grand tapestry of life. There is a proverb in African tradition that says, “If you want

to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” This wisdom is more relevant now than ever. Society today has become a place where speed is worshipped, where short-term wins overshadow long-term prosperity, and where relationships are valued for what they bring rather than for the joy of connection itself.

 

The practice of Spiriletics is a reclamation of this lost balance. It is about slowing down, finding the pulse of life, and realigning ourselves with the rhythms of nature. It is a reminder that our ancestors did not rush, nor did they exploit one another for profit. They lived in accordance with the land, with the seasons, and with the cosmic laws that govern all things. By engaging in

mindful meditation and communal practices, we begin to heal the fractures within ourselves and within society.

Transformation and Enlightenment: A Journey Within

 

True transformation, according to the Ashingne tradition, begins with a spark—an awakening that occurs when we become conscious of the limitations of the material world. It is a journey inward, where we confront the demons of fear, self-doubt, and greed. This is not an easy path, but it is one that leads to liberation. The great leaders of the past, those who have walked the

path of enlightenment, have shown us that to achieve authentic power, one must first master the self. This mastery comes not through domination or control, but through humility, patience, and the willingness to serve the greater good.

 

As we meditate on the teachings of Spiriletics, we realize that life is not a series of random events but a carefully orchestrated dance between positive and negative forces. The goal is not to eliminate hardship but to find balance amid the storm. Much like a tree that bends in the wind yet remains rooted, we too must learn to bend without breaking. In doing so, we align ourselves

with the natural order of the universe, where every challenge is an opportunity for growth.

 

A Final Reflection: The Call to Awaken

 

The Ashingne tradition, with its deep reverence for the ancestors and the sacredness of life, offers us a profound call to awaken. It invites us to see beyond the superficial and to engage with the deeper truths that govern our existence. In this pursuit, we are not alone. Our ancestors walk with us, their spirits guiding us toward the light of consciousness.

 

We must each ask ourselves: What do I want more of in life? Is it wealth, power, and fame? Or is it peace, balance, and a sense of fulfillment that transcends the material? The choice is ours, but the path is clear. Through the practice of Spiriletics, we are given the tools to navigate this journey with grace, wisdom, and a heart full of purpose.

 

Let us, therefore, take this moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the eternal truths of the Ashingne tradition. For in doing so, we do not only heal ourselves but also contribute to the healing of the world.
