The
three horsemen of the apocalypse!
We
are trying to cross the Sirat, the bridge of hell, with these
three legs, along with some other helping forces...
Knowledge (ilm), Will (irada) and Power (qudrat)!
Whatever comes out of our brain is derived from the respective use
of this trio’s individual features!
The
word “Knowledge” denotes the database of the brain.
What
is denoted as “Will” is the ability and determination of a person to
put things into practice.
And
the "Power" is the energy which would put whatever is willed into
action!
This
trio is at work in each moment of our lives...
Basically, this trio is present in each one of us, and it works
exactly in the same manner with the other living entities in the
universe!
Because, the Creator of us and everything else in the universe, “the
one referred to as ALLAH,” is aware of the attributes He possessed
through the “knowledge” indicated by the word “Alim”
(wise); and as He is also “Mureed” (the Desirer) He is
the one who “wills” to all these infinite features in Himself
and observe the meanings unfolding from within Himself with the
“power” in the way the name “Qaadir” indicates...
In
our world, the unfoldment of these faculties in each individual
being is also controlled by this system and order...
Every
single being has a consciousness in its brain, or more correctly in
its individual memory, which is the result of the synthesis of all
entries up to that moment. This is as such for the mankind, the
invisible creatures, and even the animals. This is how the knowledge
(ilm) is manifested from within them.
The
database belonging to each entity has a natural desire to manifest
what it possesses; and that is a consequence of how that database
normally functions! This is called the act of WILLING or desiring.
This concludes automatically in the brain and when we become aware
of it to a certain extent, we call it as “it came to my mind”.
Eventually, if that desire (will power) exceeds a certain threshold
depending on its strength, it begins to get transformed from
potential state into action. This transformation takes place
according to the potential and the amount of the energy referred to
as the “POWER” that one possesses.
This
course of events of knowledge – will – power which I explain to you
as a ternary system occurs simultaneously in the brain and reoccurs
repeatedly every moment.
"In
every moment Hu is in a new state of being.”
"Hu"
is not in Space, but Hu is within Your Reality!.. And also, Hu is in
the entirety of the universal existence, in other words Hu is "the
Universal One"!
The
relationship of knowledge – will – power has billions of
transactions every moment within the brain; only a few of those are
what comes out in our consciousness.
Actually, "what comes to your mind" has already been manifested even
if you do not give it a voice or bring into action; and its feedback
affects the database inside the brain and brings about other
developments.
This
is an absolute, unchanging system.
Therefore the Holy Koran states in the Surah of Bakara, verse
284:
"...and whether you manifest what is in your minds (desires) or hide
it, you will live their consequences (yuhasibqum Bi–
hillah: as a result of the manifestation of the divine
attributes within you)!"
There
is no validity of any excuses in this mechanism!
What
is manifested there (what comes to your mind) was either added to
your database in the past; or was transferred to you through your
genes! In either case, it is the consequence of what you had in
your existence.
The
Turkish proverb, "The grandfather ate a stolen berry, his
grandson's teeth hurt" tries to emphasize this reality.
KNOWLEDGE – WILL – POWER, being infinite from the point of
wholeness, are manifested in every particle within its limits of
unfoldment, its capacity according to its constitutional (fitri)
endowment (its fate).
PRAYER and MALEDICTION are also manifested through this system in
the brain... within the limits of the data in its database!
Each
being lives out what it has!
Each
being's life is different from the other.
What
is more, each being may realize the value of the other as his
possessions allow him; but his own capacity limits him from
perceiving the reality of the other truly and wholly!
The
warning of Rasûlullah, which means "Do not curse anyone,
because if he did not deserve it, it'll come back and hit you,"
is based upon this fact.
The
cursing power you inflict upon someone because of an incident you
judged as wrong by your standards, will not reach that person, will
be reflected by his protective shield and come back to hit you with
the same intensity if that person is innocent or is in that
situation without any wrongdoing of his own, or in other words, if
he did not deserve it!
Consider if what you find is "true" or "right" by your
limited judgments ACCORDING to your database is really so
from the point of the System!
My
point of view upon the events that I come upon is always about
questioning rather than accusing the other person as to "what
I may have done wrong because of which this has happened to me?"
The
following verse from the Holy Koran emphasizes the fact: "Everyone
faces the consequences of what he has done with his own hands."
What is meant by the “hands” here is the "database within the brain”
in the making.
Yes,
one who deserves gets what he deserves! But if he did not deserve
it, then whoever deserved it will get it!
Anyway, let us continue to explain the important point without
extending it further with examples...
Prayer (dua), in other words aligning one’s self, inclination
or salaat (which is again aligning one's self to his essence), is
either a request from a god outside – and in this case there has to
be a god outside that one could align himself towards...
Or,
it is the actual experience of the desires for an individual by
using the powers bestowed upon his being, in the direction of
information his database holds.
In
short, when we pray, we actualize the potentials within (our
knowledge), which are the manifestation (by willing) of the
qualities of Allah which constitutes our own existence (to the
degree that power would allow us).
This
always applies regardless of whether we really possess "knowledge as
we know it" or we are downright ignorant unaware of it!
"istaeenoo
biAllahi" (Surah Araf, verse: 128)
"Seek
help from the sublime reality of your essence!"
Because, this is a mechanism that works within the existence of
individuals; in the direction of knowledge – will – power!
Praying to God out there and requesting God’s help are signs of
ignorance and unawareness because what you will eventually obtain
will come through you – from what is within you;
by means of the powers within you! Also, as a consequence of
the attributes of the one referred to as “ALLAH”
originated from within your existence!
With
this perception in mind, may I please advise you to read my book
named "DUA and ZHIKR"!
