Everyone who really recognises God knows that He is not a spiritual-being, and cannot behave like the spiritual-beings developing on earth in human earth-bodies; the earthmen. Out of His extended radiation, in the words "Let there be Light", the Spiritual-realm came into existence. Then from the volitions of the prime spiritual-beings in it and activities of the substantiate-beings the world of matter evolved.  The evolution of the world of matter enabled the unconscious spirit-germs in the Spiritual-realm with urge for consciousness be cast out to incarnate on earth into the bodies of the most noble animals with thinking faculties to be able to develop to self-conscious spiritual personalities. God weaved His will into His work which expresses itself as natural laws. These laws guide everything He created.They operate with the highest precision and with a speed that varies from plane to plane downwards from Spiritual-realm to the world of matter. Fastest speed  at the first ...

(A) *About "Iwa n'afa*  "Iwa n'afa" is a term some igbo communities use to express that diviners see the root of problem or disturbance arising from disobedient to joint volitions of a people.  Literally it means root of problem/disturbance appears to or is identified by diviner ('Dibia-afa').  Other communities may have different terms for expressing same thing.
