As we mark the 25th anniversary of your transition to higher glory, we remain conscious of the significance you accorded to numbers as it bear on their association with the cosmic forces that potentially influence the course of our human existence. As the number symbolic of introspection and inner connection to ancient wisdom before the dawn of new beginnings, we embrace this 25th year as a time to strengthen our understanding of who we are and what we are here for.
For Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe, introspection is about exploring the inherent attributes within ourselves as a premise for evolving effective responses to our personal and collective challenges. It necessitates the attainment of self-mastery, which is the command of oneself in its totality. It calls on us, at this critical time, to both remain true to our indwelling principles of faith and service to others, and undaunted by earthly challenges that try to bend us. It means a renewed focus on acquiring a holistic perspective of existence as an infinite phenomenon, with the understanding that our humanity is limited to assure the promise of eternal life.
With every passing day your presence, the teachings and the wisdom you imparted on us continue to loom larger with an ever-increasing intensity, propelling us to a deeper understanding of life, its purpose, and its essence. We know that when we begin to refine our existence to reflect the genius and creative power of God, as you did, we will find solace knowing that we are all on the pathway of pleasantness and of peace, guided by the actualisation of God’s infinite love and mercy for humanity.
Thus, in the midst of challenges and difficulties that have made us see how dark the home of the moon is, we have come to appreciate its shine. We remain hopeful because we know that we are but channels through which the infinite blessings of divinity flow; the custodians of timeless legacies to be preserved; and spiritual aspirants on the journey to self–mastery and a daily connection to the sacred mystery that validates our status as manifestations of Divine Intelligence.
To that end, we account ourselves to be no more than grateful servants of God and students of truth. As long as we remain conscious of our ultimate objectives, we neither fear nor doubt that the divergent avenues, channels and courses followed will eventually converge at a certain point of true realisation, with us being scions of the sage and committed to staying the course in the quest for true spiritual attainment.
We know that God’s goodness and mercy have followed you all the days of your life and now, under God’s infinite grace, you will continue to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. We remain thankful to God for granting you the grace of becoming a manifestation of Divine Intelligence, walking in the pathway of pleasantness and of pace and ultimately attaining conscious unity with the True Genius.
