LEVELS OF AWARENESS Do human beings imagine that those who respond wholeheartedly to the demonstrations of Love that proceed from the Source of Love are on the same level of awareness as those whose negations of love have become beautiful in their own eyes, and who follow only their own circumscribed ideas and personal impulses? As such persons live on very different levels of awareness during earthly life, so will they exist in the realm beyond death. Those immersed in authentic awe of Allah Most Sublime live on the level of Paradise, the fragrant gardens of pure consciousness where four rivers eternally flow. Divine Clarity is the river of transparent water, free from the slightest impurity, that refreshes the soul and slakes its thirst. Divine Knowledge is the river of sweet milk that nourishes the soul perfectly and never turns sour. Divine Bliss is the river of delicate wine that inebriates the soul who ascends in ecstasy. Divine Love is the river of clarified honey, the golden essence of mystical union. On the level of awareness called Paradise grow incomparable fruits, the countless Attributes of Allah Most High. There the soul is cleansed completely by the Divine Forgiveness that flows from the Source of Love. But on the level of awareness called Hell, the intense Splendor of Allah is falsely perceived as unbearable fire, and souls experience the terrors that they dream through their own chronic state of negation as boiling water which scalds their very being as they try to drink. My beloved, how can these two levels be compared? Meditation on Holy Koran 47:14-15 THE KINGDOM OF REALITY The infinite fountain of blessing is Allah Most High, Whose embrace of Power and Love constitutes the entire Kingdom of Reality. The Single Source behind all beings and events projects this vast drama of life and death as an education for souls, who learn to express the beautiful Attributes of Allah through contemplation and action within the realm of temporality. Allah Most High is awesome Power as well as tender Mercy and absolute Forgiveness. The ascending planes of Being and levels of awareness are luminous reflections of Divine Power, harmoniously interwoven with Divine Compassion, to create the perfect environment for training souls. Those whose whole being is oriented toward the Source and Goal of Being do not perceive the slightest imperfection or injustice in the boundless kingdom of the All-Merciful One. Look deeply into this radiant creation of realms and planes, My Beloved. Can you observe the slightest fragmentation or disharmony anywhere? Contemplate this Kingdom of Reality again and again. The gaze of your spiritual understanding, returning to you weary and dazzled, will then come to rest in the Source of Perfection. Meditation on Holy Koran 67:1-4
