Invocation of The Name
22 Feb 2015
When you invoke the name of God, when you remember him and think of him, know that you are not just entertaining an idea in the mind or an emotion in the heart.

The Sole Dweller of The Void
21 Feb 2015
What is the human receptacle but a prism that refracts the pure light of the One into the rainbow of infinite divine possibilities, the phenomenal world! This world is lit and known with the light of a consciousness that comes from without and passes through within man. Where I am not, the world too is … More The Sole Dweller of The Void
The Ecstasy of Consciousness
20 Feb 2015
The now is a whirling Dervish; it whirls and it worlds. The Dervish sees; the Dervish sees, A seeing that hides; a seeing that shows, A seeing that lets be; a seeing that lets go, One veils; one unveils, One is the farthest; one is the nearest, One is the eye; one is the I. … More The Ecstasy of Consciousness

Physics & Metaphysics

There is no doubt that the world of phenomena is diverse and ephemeral. But there is … More How Does The One Become The Many
Mortality As The Price of Immortality
25 Jan 2015
We must die in order to survive. We love ourselves; even more so we love our selves; we love it that we are a self, an I, a person separate from other persons.
