Life in Heaven and the Five Types of Incarnation Rights
In Ifá cosmology, heaven mirrors Earth, housing billions of spirits (irunmales) who grow by “binary fission” – new souls birthed through achievements like completing a PhD or winning a spiritual debate. These spirit children mature instantly and inherit the traits of their creators, forming ideal partners in future incarnations. Heavenic society includes schools, companies, and unified governance. Conflicts are resolved by senior group leaders. Spirits incarnate on Earth to harvest “spiritual food,” and some work toward permanent existence in heaven without needing further incarnations. Incarnation follows specific rights rather than DNA. The five main rights—lineage succession, recognized ancestor, invasion, spiritual kinship, and benefactor—determine how spirits claim new human forms. Each right reflects ancestral ties, remembrance, disputes, spiritual bonds, or acts of benevolence. Despite its order, heaven faces challenges such as the loss of light spirits when human actions impose force. Ongoing negotiations and rituals uphold these sacred incarnation rights.
