Topics
All beings of Allah narrate their thoughts in words. These words implicitly
reflect expressions of beauty, love, despise, happiness, sadness and humility. Thoughts
are comprised of waves, which leave their impression on the face of speaker. A peaceful
thought reflects a serenity on the face of an individual; whereas hatred and despise
in thoughts render pride, fear, sorrow, insensitivity and indifference to other
beings. More or less every individual being exhibits the expressions of action and
reaction. When an individual develops attachment with Allah, he deems every act
of life 'care of Allah'. This attachment enables in him a free-will life, independent
of his-self. On the other hand, one who is entrapped by his-self, lives life in
agony, anger, hatred and arrogance.
Abdal e Haq Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) said:
There are two categories of human being, Adami and Insan. The mind of
Adami works in two states. The states of conscious and unconscious are active during
awakening and asleep respectively. The sensation of time and space is negligible
during the state of unconsciousness. Our breath completes its cycle in conscious
and unconscious. Conscious lacks in information contained in unconsciousness. The
mechanism of knowledge allows information to flow from unconscious to consciousness.
The state of consciousness enables the phenomenal appearance of information; eventually
completes the cycle of knowledge flow. A breath begins like a circle, in unconsciousness,
reflects its embedded information in consciousness and completes back in the unconsciousness.
Any discontinuity in circle results in death of a being.
Ascetics who hold breath for unusually long time, maintain breath cycle
in unconsciousness. It means that stream of thoughts is overlapped onto one thought.
Each though reflects a proportion of a consciousness. But if the cycle of knowledge
flow is concentrated on one point or thought, it enables the dominance of unconsciousness
state over the conscious living. Deeper the breath, stronger would be the state
of unconsciousness. Despite the presence of consciousness, a profound thought enables
one into a deeper state of unconsciousness.
Our dreams emerge from subconscious. Deeper the sleep, vivid would be
the minutiae of dreams on our memory. Subconscious activity plays key role in remembering
our dreams. A close acquaintance between the conscious and subconscious increases
the chances to recall contents of any dream.
What is subconscious?
We can elaborate this, taking into account mechanism of essay writing.
When a writer intends to write on a topic, in the beginning he has only a title
in his mind. Neither the paras, nor the contents exist in his mind. But, the moment
he starts focusing on the topic, all trivial details begin to reveal on him. In
other words, the minutiae of the article surface to his conscious from his subconscious
gradually. At the end, thoughts are shaped into words on a paper.
Subconscious is a conscious of Loh e Mahfooz (an archetype of
Universe), it binds together all beings. Loh e Mahfooz consists of
entities of whole Universe, their structural details, spatio-temporal states, and
the dynamics of their phenomenal existence. Their collective existence is called
subconscious.
The profile of individual being and all beings is a written record.
The Past, Present and Future are concealed in the Universal subconscious. Allah
said,
"Indeed the record of deeds of the sinners is in Sijjin. And what
may let you know what Sijjin is? A register, inscribed."
(Quran,
83:7-9)
"The record of deeds of the righteous is in Illiyyun. And what
may let you know what Illiyyun is ? A register inscribed."
(Quran,
83: 18-20)
Unconscious is disguised from the conscious, this curtain can be removed
with individual effort. The intentional activation of one's own unconscious can
be strengthened by the love of Allah. Allah said, "Som (fasting) is for
Me and I am the Reward".
One can strengthen his unconscious by adapting Taqwa (that is
seeing Allah and considering Him present everywhere). Spiritual individuals always
adapt Taqwa to achieve nearness to Allah. Without Taqwa, life of an
individual is void of Allah. Aforementioned saying of Prophet (PBUH) emphasizes
on importance of Taqwa. Anyone who strives to get close to Allah, eventually
they are blessed with nearness to Allah.
Sleep is a curtain, which veils an individual under a cover. When an
individual is in state of awakening, he is in fact disguised in the cloak of sleep.
Under the curtain of sleep, we perform all activities of daily life pretending as
if we are awakening. This curtain can be unveiled with continuous awakening.
In simple words, we can say that we sleep with and without closing eyes.
When we sleep with open eyes, that state is called awakening. While the other state
of sleep with closed eyes is our common perception as an individual human being.
You must notice that during both states our desires or needs and their fulfilment
are exactly similar, for example eating, drinking, talking, hearing etc. Even our
emotional expressions are same, such as being happy, angry, sad etc. The difference
between the experiences in two states is their coherence. During awakening, somehow
we have learned to connect the series of different events. While we never learn
the context of events experienced during dream due to lack of such practices in
contemporary society. We merely ignore the activities in dream and never consider
them important as we do in state of awakening. In short, a man dreams either open
eyes while awakening or close eyes while asleep. Living age without knowing unconscious
is a dream.
Life is a dream without any perception of time. Human being terms a
quantity 'Time', is in fact human percept of change in space. Space changes over
every second, as growth of any being is measured in time. Whereas growth is merely
a change in shape (space) of any object. What we term as time is implicitly connected
with the space, that is, each space has its own unit of time.
Scientists term 'space' ---a place void of gravitational force. One
must carefully consider the fact, gravity does not subject to Earth ability to pull
object. Though ability to breath can be associated with the gravity, but there are
large number of abilities which are independent of gravity. E.g., whims, thoughts,
perception, sensation etc. Even though a man appears breathing while asleep, but
his intellect is free of any gravity pull. He travels and experiences through variety
of situations. His response and expression while dreaming also become record in
his mind as during awakening. You may observe these responses and expressions are
independent of gravity. Therefore, considering 'space' a place void of gravity is
not true.
Human
being is itself a thought, perception or an intention. In other words, a human
is composed of senses. Whether on Earth or in upper atmosphere, being a
sensation human is independent of gravity. That is if we consider his
dependence on gravity, he would never be able to transfer from one zone to
another zone, as he does when dies.
In
spiritual world, space is not limited to atmosphere or distant heavenly
objects. Rather every object-self is a space. Four spaces are formed on screen
of our mind, they are:
Space
formed in the darkness and behind the darkness, also space formed in brightness
and behind the brightness.
One
can learn to observe these spaces before and beyond the darkness or brightness.
All four spaces are revealed by the blessing of Allah, after continuous awakening.
These spaces appear into many non-coherent pieces, but gradually one can learn
the connectivity between the segments. Often these spaces reveal events to be
occurred in future. Four spaces reflected on the mind screen not only provide awareness
to five senses, but also lead an individual to sixth sense.
