Joseph Murphy,
in his classic Santeria says that “The sacred world of Santería
is motivated by ashe. Ashe is growth, the force toward completeness
and divinity. [This is a ] view of the world [as] an ontology of
dynamism, that is, a belief that the real world is one of pure movement.
In fact, the real world is one not of objects at all but of forces
in continual process.”
Ashe is the movement of energy. Modern physics teaches us that everything
is merely energy moving at different rates of speed. In the simplest
example, adding energy to water changes it into steam, removing
energy changes it into ice. In the same way, by understanding the
principles of ashe I can dance my true destiny.
