What is human life but a journey from relative anonymity to absolute anonymity?! This journey, however, takes place according to the nature of things. It is the path of the initiate, the way toward the Principle. It is perhaps also similar, in idea, to the 2nd law of thermodynamics stating that nature tends toward equal distribution … More Deliverance From The Middle Class
In another post, “World As Divine Symbol“, we devoted ourselves to the symbolic nature of the phenomenal world, that this world is essentially a symbol pointing us to something beyond itself, to something that stands behind and supports appearances, something itself not an appearance, and hence itself not subject to impermanence. If the world is … More The Symbolism of Solar System
What Do We Really Look Like? Well, we may think we look like this: But really, we always look like this: Don’t be too concerned with what you look like. Your face is not what you look like; it is what others look like when they’re looking at you. You on the other hand, you … More Your World is Your Face
We superimpose our human rigidity on God, making Him judgmental and ourselves fearful. While we must fear God, our fear of Him should be a humbling awe with utmost veneration before His infinitude rather than a childish fright before His revengeful wrath. We, and especially we religious and spiritual people, and even more so myself, … More Truth & Intelligence

While driving back home the mini-storm … More Grace, Jokes, and Shower Confessions
Forgetfulness is the mark of this world. What is the use of seeking that which is forgotten when the only way of finding it is to remember?! What we have lost is not to be found in the world, for we are in the world precisely because we lost. World is the face of forgetfulness. … More Wake Up Already

It is a symbol because it always points to something other than itself, to an origin that is itself not in or part of the world, to an origin that is itself other-worldly. Even modern science has … More World as Divine Symbol
The Contradiction of Relativism By Frithjof Schuon Relativism reduces every element of absoluteness to relativity while making a completely illogical exception in favor of this reduction … More The Contradiction of Relativism
This world is the shadow of God; it is not a thing, not an existent entity; rather, it is the lack of a thing, lack of light, as are all shadows. Our relation to the absolute principle is paradoxical from the point of view of our mundane intelligence: First, there is nothing but God; but … More World is the shadow of God
