| Esoteric Sphere of Seven Subtle Centers and Seven Internal Subtle Messengers | | 2008-05-22 22:41:20 | | Messengers, Prophets are as much as part of the outer reality, representing historical figures, representing the pole of human spiritual evolution at different ages; at the same time, each Messenger represent certain esoteric stations within every human being. The above figure illustrate how each Messenger is also an inner state of a seeker's journey to the Ultimate Reality.Laqad Jaa 'Akum Rasulum-Min 'AnfusukumThere has come to you a Messenger from among your selves.- The Quran 9:128 As above, so below; as outside, so within. Each Messenger symbolizes certain aspect of the reality and they are part of the internal cosmos within us, within our selves. They are not only Biblical Messengers, not only Quranic Messengers as they appear but they are also Internal Subtle Messengers. All Messengers are part of unity and oneness. Thats why Quran speaks of the oneness of all divine messengers sent to humanity from time immemorial by teaching to affirm, "La Nufarriqu Bayna Ahadin min Rusulihi" : | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
| | Esoteric Inner Meaning of Virgin Mary | Receptive Soul in Loving Surrender | | 2008-04-01 03:40:00 | | "You must first of all understand that although I seem to be talking about an historical event, everything of which I speak is within you and is happening at this moment. There is no other; and what happened, in our world, two thousand years ago is part of the unfoldment of this moment, not that moment but this very instant. It is neither a question of looking back two thousand years nor of trying to recapture the moment in your imagination. All you have to do is to be awake. ...Your body is the Virgin Mary. The Spirit is Christ, the Word that was conveyed through Gabriel the eternal messenger. The breath is the Breath of the Mercy of God, and it is that breath that quickens the soul. Until the soul is quickened by the Spirit it is like an unfledged bird.There are many paths to God, but the way of Mary is the sweetest and most gentle. If you can melt into Mary, the matrix, the blueprint of life, the Divine Mother, you will be formed and shaped in Christ and Christ in you, and thus thro | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
| | Sufi Enneagram | Esoteric Psychology | | 2008-02-01 21:25:54 | | 'We shall show them Our Signs,upon the horizons and within themselves ...until it is clear to themthat it is the Real (the Truth) ...'- The Quran 41:53Sufi Enneagram is a sacred tool used for self-discovery and probing deep into esoteric psychology. Some scholars call it the Signs of the Presence of God.'... Everything in nature but the human 'self' perfects its own nature, to the extent that life allows, by unconsciously submitting to the Will of God... the area with which we are concerned is the completion of nature in its mode of operation...God breathed His Spirit into human forms so that they gained the powers of consciousness of 'self', which includes consciously following one's conscience and free will. The completion of the perfection of nature becomes a question of choice - to do or not to do...' - God's Will be Done, Dr. Laleh BakhtiarThe origins of the Enneagram symbol are traced from within the Sufi Tradition of Central Asia.

| The Spiritual Hajj of the Heart | the esoteric dimensions of the pilgrimage | | 2007-12-09 15:59:33 | | It is known that physical worship is an imitation of what is real, and the Hajj is no exception. The reality of worship is completely different for one who has attained a higher level of understanding and sincerity compared to the common individual, and it is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad said that although two individuals may pray beside one another and superficially appear not unlike one another, yet the difference between their prayers is as the difference between the heavens and the earth.The reality of worship is known to the soul, and he who is close, or in union as Awliya are, to his soul will find infinitely greater depth in his worship. All souls are by divine will in a state of Islam and in perfect surrender to the Lord of Heavens. Thus the closer one moves towards himself, his true self, the closer he or she will come towards the identity of “Abdullah,” an honored servant of the Divine.The journey towards Oneself is but the journey from the superficial world of i | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
| | | Esoteric Spiritual Symbolism of Miraj | the mystic ascent of holy Prophet | | 2007-08-17 07:58:19 | | Let us try to understand the spiritual symbolism of Mi'raj – Spiritual Ascension of the Prophet, upon him be boundless bliss and draw inspiration there from:The 'Journey by night' is symbolic of the Inner Journey undertaken in a night meditation, a journey away from the 'Sacred Mosque' (Kabaa - outer Mosque) towards the inner Sacred Mosque (Inner Dome or the Heart).Riding on the Buraq is symbolic to riding on the Nafs (ego or mind, which is in it's base form is animal and an enemy, but in it's higher form - when tamed and transformed through spiritual practice - grows wings and ascends and acts as a vehicle to the Divine); however, the mind through the process of Zikr, Divine Remembrance can only go upto the threshold of the Divine - it has to be dropped at that point. Being guided by Gabriel is the upward pull of the Divine Force - Divine Grace.The experiences that took place until the point of final realization (the point of final ascension) are the thought forms and then | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |

| Bahir Verse 199
An esoteric explanation is requir... | | 2007-03-30 21:00:00 | | Bahir Verse 199An esoteric explanation is required here to get us beyond the surface details. Verse 199. The soul of the female comes from the Female, and the soul of the male comes from the Male. This is the reason why the Serpent followed Eve. He said, "Her soul comes from the north, and I will therefore quickly seduce her." And how did he seduce her? He had intercourse with her. Commentary: Think of Creation as being Female or that which takes on the Image of the Male Creator. Drop Male and Female for now and just consider the Creator and Creation. What is this Serpent? It is conditional Time. The original template for Creator and Creation is this.Ex: 1:3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. The Intention is for there to be Light. This Intention is realized instantaneously. Not only does light appear but it also seems to appear in the past even before it is commanded to be it already was. What it should read here perhaps is ‘let there be light and t | | By: Thought Into Form | | |
| | ESOTERIC CHRISTIANITY | | 2005-12-10 15:43:00 | | Esoteric Christianity refers to the occult study and the mystic living of the esoteric knowledge related to what adherents view as the "inner teachings" of early Christianity, seen as a Mystery religion. The term is originally associated with the Essenes and the Rosicrucians.Modern-day practitioners believe that the foundational teachings of Esoteric Christianity were publicly presented to the world in the early 20th century (1) in an effort to establish a future universal religion as mankind, with a more developed mind and will, walk forward to the understandings of universal Brotherhood. Its central aim is to aid each human being in his/her task of developing the Golden Wedding Garment: the Christ Within that must be born.The Christ Within is defined as Paul of Tarsus's "soma psuchicon", meaning soul body, needed by each individual in order to be able to enter and permanently live in the next Sixth Epoch's etheric environment (new heavens and a new earth): the New Galilee.These teachings are also believed to enable each individual to understand the mystery of life, that is, the mystery of death, eliminating the fear of it and are preparing human beings for in due time, as the Sun enters Aquarius by precession, to start seeing among themselves their deceased beloved ones.This is being done according to the words "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." (Luke 8:17; KJV) and it is knowledge that had to wait its own time to be grasped by our own mind, as Christ spoke: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." (John 16:12).It is also referred in Esoteric Christianity that there are, and always have been, those being prepared towards Initiation - into the Lesser Mysteries, the secrets concerning the Science of Life and Being, in the spiritual worlds by the Hierophants of the seven invisible Lesser Mystery Schools - through harmonious development of the mind (o | | By: MORE OF THE SAME from The High Watch | | |
