Page 488 - from Volume Two (Display Image)Except in the Barzakh Presence, even though God gave us a sense of vision in the city of Cordoba one day as a divine specialization and a prophetic Muhammadan inheritor. These wind lights have authority and power over all the children of Adam except the people of God. These lights cover whomever God wills from among the common people, they do not cover him except as dark clouds, and if you cover the people of God, you do not cover them except that they are lights in their form. [ Lights of spirits ]As for the lights of the spirits, some of us make them the lights of the minds, and some of us make them the lights of the messengers, and they have the power, authority and influence in the universe. Nothing can stop them, except that they have limits that stop at them and do not go beyond them. A sanctity descends from the created truth to the Sidrat al-Muntaha and casts its rays upon the hearts of the knowers, the people of perfect witnesses, for their hearts cast the rays of these lights, and none in this human category is more perfect than them in knowledge. These lights have their rays upon unveiling, and they are the domains of the truthful servants of God Almighty [ Lights of lights ]As for the lights of the lights, they are the Glory, which if the Truth revealed the veil that covers it from us, it would burn us. They are the Musawis and the Injil, and they are the Isawis, and what was revealed to them from their Lord, and they are the authors of the papers. It is He who distracts us. As for the light that is under us, it is the one that we judge, and it is expressed by eating from under the feet. As for the light that is the eye of ourselves, it is as He, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, prayed and made me a light He is the same eye and Novel and make me a light It is all of the lights that we have mentioned, and as for his saying, Make me a light, he is witnessing the light of himself, as he does not testify except with him, for his soul has not accepted these lights from these six directions except because it does not comprehend the light of itself that About that, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, He who knows himself knows his Lord. And God is the light of the heavens and the earth and its likeness with what is like it, and you are the eye of that representative and parable. The sun is here, so what do you think of the lamp, which is the eye of yourself, so do not, my brother, pray your prayers at all except that God makes you a light, and here is a strange secret that I warn you about without explanation because it does not bear the explanation, and it is that God sets parables for himself and is not given by proverbs, so he resembles things and things do not resemble him. The likeness of God in his creation is the likeness of the king in his dominion, and it is not said that the likeness of the king in his possession is the same as God in his creation, for he is the eye of what appears, and not what appears is his essence, for he is the inner as he is apparent in the event of his appearance. The strange knowledge that has been alienated from his homeland and is deceived between him and his residence, so the minds deny it because it is reasonable and not staged, and this is a model of the manifestation of the lights of lights [ The lights of the abstract meanings of matter ]As for the lights of meanings that are abstract from matter, they cannot be transferred. Simulation or representation [ Lights of spirits ]As for the lights of the spirits, they are the lights of the All-Universal Holy Spirit. So whoever was sent from these spirits was an angel, and whoever was not sent, the name of the spirit with its own name remained on him. The knowledge in the two groups, the messengers and the non-messengers, is a pure spirit that does not resemble what he extracts from himself, and he is a spirit with a spirit in his spirit and nothing but spirits Al-Muhayma and the souls of the individual among us are similar to some similarity, so transfiguration does not occur in the lights of spirits except for individuals. That is why Al-Khidr said to Moses, As long as you do not take news of it, because he is from the individual and that the prophets have the transfiguration in the lights of the spirits of angels. A knowledge that God has taught you that I do not know because it does not have this manifestation |
