“My consolation, (literally, the freshness of my eyes, qurrat al-'ayn) has been placed for me in prayer,” or else, if with Ibn 'Arabi we use the same verbal root in a different meaning: “In Prayer my eyes have been set in place,” for Prayer is the munājāt, the secret psalm of the Lover and the Beloved.

“It is He who is revealed in every face, sought in every sign, gazed upon by every eye, worshipped in every object of worship, and pursued in the unseen and the visible. Not a single one of His creatures can fail to find Him in its primordial and original nature.”

― Ibn 'Arabi, Futûhât al-Makkiyya

The benefit of the knowledge of the self is to know for certain that you are neither existent nor nonexistent, that you are not, never have been and never will be.

Ibn ‘Arabi / Balyani, Know Yourself: An Explanation of the Oneness of Being, translated by Cecilia Twinch

Morning, a dove cooing no world can hold your song. Who can bear love's sorrows or swallow fate's bitter portion? Heartbroken I cry, O You who put me through this, will You care for me now?

Do not praise your own faith so exclusively that you disbelieve all the rest. If you do this you will miss much good. Nay, you will miss the whole truth of the matter. God, the Omniscient and the Omnipresent, cannot be confined to any one creed, for He says in the Quran, wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah. Everybody praises what he knows. His God is his own creature, and in praising it, he praises himself. Which he would not do if he were just, for his dislike is based on ignorance.

“Perhaps the flower, whose heliotropism proves to be its ‘heliopathy,’ will put us on the path…”

“Proclus ‘listening’ to the flower pray…”

Stunned I’m only reading this after writing THE SUNFLOWER CAST A SPELL TO SAVE US FROM THE VOID and ALIEN DAUGHTERS WALK INTO THE SUN… I’ve fully surrendered to the oneiric heliotropism of the path of mystery! (Maybe I’m ready for my neoplatonist phase?)

O Dearly Beloved

“Listen, O dearly beloved!  I am the reality of the world, the centre of the circumference,  I am the parts and the whole.  I am the will established between Heaven and Earth,  I have created perception in you only in order to be the  object of my perception.  If then you perceive me, you perceive yourself.  But you cannot perceive me through yourself,  It is through my eyes that you see me and see yourself,  Through your eyes you cannot see me.  Dearly beloved!  I have called you so often and you have not heard me  I have shown myself to you so often and you have not  seen me.  I have made myself fragrance so often, and you have  not smelled me.  Savorous food, and you have not tasted me.  Why can you not reach me through the object you touch  Or breathe me through sweet perfumes?  Why do you not see me? Why do you not hear me?  Why? Why? Why?”

— Ibn ‘Arabi, Kitab al-Tajalliyat

Gentle now, doves of the thornberry and moringa thicket, don't add to my heartache your sighs.

Gentle now, or you sad cooing will reveal the love I hide, the sorrow I hide away.
