Ten Commandments of Spirituality: The Path to True Independence -MERDEKA!

 

🌿 Ten Commandments of Spirituality: The Path to True Independence 🌿

Today, Malaysia celebrates her independence, and on this day we are reminded that the greatest freedom is not merely political—it is spiritual. True independence is not granted by any government, nor taken away by any tyrant. It is discovered within, when we rise above the illusions of ego, desire, and fear.

Here are the Ten Commandments of Spirituality, drawn from the wisdom of Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Sufism, Hermeticism, and the universal voice of the soul. Together, they form the path to inner Merdeka—the sovereignty of spirit.

---

1. The Law of Karma (Cause & Effect)

What you sow, you shall reap. Every thought, word, and action plants a seed that will return to you in kind. Awareness of this law brings responsibility, compassion, and integrity.

2. The Law of Dharma (Sacred Duty)

Every soul has a purpose, a unique note in the symphony of existence. To live your Dharma is to live in harmony with the Divine, offering your gifts to the world.

3. The Law of Balance (Yin & Yang)

All life is a dance of opposites—light and dark, joy and sorrow, action and stillness. Wisdom is not in rejecting one or clinging to the other, but in flowing gracefully between them.

4. The Law of Wu Wei (Effortless Action)

Like water carving valleys, true power lies in effortlessness. To practice Wu Wei is to live aligned with the natural current of life, allowing things to unfold with grace rather than force.

5. The Law of Impermanence

All things arise and pass away—pleasure and pain, success and failure, life and death. To see impermanence clearly is to loosen attachment and live each moment fully.

6. The Law of Compassion

Every being is suffering in its own way. To awaken is to open the heart, to feel with others, and to act with kindness. Compassion is the bridge between the soul and the world.

7. The Law of Unity

Beneath the illusion of separation, all is One. Every person, every creature, every star is a reflection of the same Source. To awaken is to see yourself in all things and all things in yourself.

8. The Law of Vibration

The universe is not matter but music—an infinite field of frequencies. Your thoughts, words, and emotions shape your vibration, attracting what resonates. To live consciously is to tune your being to love, peace, and truth.

9. The Law of Correspondence (“As Above, So Below”)

The cosmos is mirrored in the human heart, and the human heart is mirrored in the cosmos. By studying the outer, we know the inner; by transforming the inner, we heal the outer.

10. The Law of Surrender (The Final Freedom)

The highest wisdom is to let go of control, dissolve the ego, and rest in the Infinite. True independence is not doing whatever we wish—it is liberation from fear, desire, and illusion. To surrender is to awaken, to be free, to return home.

---

🌺 The Ten Commandments of Spirituality remind us that true Merdeka begins within.
It is the freedom of the soul, the sovereignty of the heart, and the return to Oneness with the Divine.

✨ On this Independence Day, may Malaysia, and all of us, awaken to this higher independence—the one that no chains can bind and no power can destroy.

Part 10 – Modern Science and the New Paradigm

Just as Indigenous traditions remind us that the earth is alive and every being is sacred, modern science, too, has begun to uncover truths that echo these ancient insights. Where once science seemed to strip the world of spirit, today it begins to reveal the mysterious interconnectedness of all things—from quantum entanglement to the living intelligence of ecosystems. In this way, the circle closes: what our ancestors knew in their bones, modern science now glimpses through equations, telescopes, and microscopes.

Part 10 – Modern Science and the New Paradigm

Modern science, once thought to be the slayer of faith and myth, is now becoming one of the greatest allies of spirituality. At its cutting edge, science is beginning to echo what the sages, shamans, and mystics have always whispered: all life is interconnected, consciousness shapes reality, and the universe is alive with intelligence.

• Quantum Physics shows us that particles are not isolated, but exist in states of entanglement—mysteriously linked across time and space. This reflects the ancient truth of oneness, where separation is but an illusion of the senses.

• Neuroscience and Meditation reveal that the brain is plastic and consciousness can be expanded, rewired, and tuned. Mystical practices once dismissed as superstition are now validated as pathways to healing, balance, and transcendence.

• Ecology and Systems Science remind us that Earth is a web of life, each part dependent on the whole. Indigenous traditions have always known this: to harm the web is to harm oneself.

• Cosmology speaks of a universe born not in chaos but in order, a grand unfolding where stars, galaxies, and life itself arise from the same primordial light.

This is the new paradigm: spirituality and science are not enemies but partners in truth. Both lead us to the realization that freedom is not found in domination or possession, but in harmony with the eternal dance of existence.

And so, as Malaysia celebrates its outer independence, we mark this moment by unveiling these Ten Commandments of Spirituality — not as rigid laws, but as guiding lights that lead to the deepest freedom: the liberation of the soul from illusion, and its awakening into unity.

Part 9 – The Indigenous Wisdom Traditions

 Just as Sufism turns the heart into a living sanctuary of the Divine, the Indigenous traditions remind us that the earth itself is a sacred scripture—every mountain, river, and stone a verse in the great song of Creation. If the Sufi seeks God in the secret chambers of the heart, the Indigenous elder finds Him in the wind, the fire, and the tracks of the deer.

Part 9 – The Indigenous Wisdom Traditions

Across the world, Indigenous peoples have carried an unbroken chain of wisdom rooted in the land, the sky, the waters, and the unseen. Long before scriptures were written, the earth itself was the holy book. The drumbeat mirrored the heartbeat of creation; the dance became a prayer; the story became a bridge between generations.

At the heart of Indigenous spirituality is the understanding that everything is alive—mountains, rivers, forests, stones, animals, ancestors, and even the stars above. All beings are kin, bound together in a great web of life. To harm one part of this web is to harm oneself. To honor it is to walk in balance, with humility and gratitude.

Central teachings include:

• Sacred Reciprocity – the giving and receiving between humans and nature. One does not take without offering thanks.

• Ancestral Guidance – the belief that those who walked before us remain present, offering wisdom through dreams, visions, and rituals.

• Cycles of Nature – time is not linear but circular; the seasons, the moon, and the great migrations are reminders of the eternal return.

• Vision Quest – solitude in the wilderness, fasting, and prayer as a way to hear the voice of Spirit and discover one’s true path.

Indigenous traditions differ in form yet unite in essence: respect for the earth, reverence for ancestors, and recognition that Spirit is woven through every breath of existence. In their voices we hear a call back to simplicity, to listening deeply, to living with honor and harmony.

In an age of disconnection, these traditions remind us that we do not walk alone—our steps echo with the footsteps of all beings, past, present, and future.

Part 8: Sufi Mysticism – The Path of the Heart

 Just as the Hermetic principles unveil the hidden laws of the cosmos, the Sufi path draws us inward to the heart of the Beloved. If Hermeticism teaches us the architecture of the universe, Sufism teaches us how to dissolve within it—how to move beyond law into love, beyond mastery into union.

From the geometries of thought, we now step into the poetry of the soul.

---

Part 8: Sufi Mysticism – The Path of the Heart

Where philosophy and metaphysics often turn the gaze outward, Sufism turns it inward—into the beating heart of Being itself. The Sufi path is not a matter of intellectual mastery or cosmic laws but of love, longing, and annihilation of the self in the Beloved.

At its essence, Sufism is a way of remembrance (dhikr). To remember is to awaken, for the soul has always known its Source but has fallen asleep in the dream of separation. The Sufi invokes the Name of God, polishes the mirror of the heart, and lets the Divine Light shine through until nothing remains but God.

The stages of the Sufi path move from:

• Sharia (the outer law) – grounding the seeker in discipline and purity.

• Tariqa (the path) – walking under the guidance of a teacher, surrendering the ego’s grip.

• Haqiqa (the truth) – unveiling the inner reality that lies behind forms.

• Marifa (gnosis) – direct knowledge of the Beloved, where the self dissolves in union.

The journey is often described in the language of love. Jalaluddin Rumi, the great Persian mystic, spoke of the burning that purifies, the wine that intoxicates, and the dance that dissolves all boundaries. The Sufi realizes that the heart itself is both the Kaaba and the pilgrim circling it; the Friend sought is none other than the One already dwelling within.

Where Hermeticism teaches “As above, so below”, Sufism whispers:
“You are neither above nor below—you are the Lover and the Beloved, the drop and the ocean.”

It is not escape from the world, but a transfiguration of it. Every face becomes His Face, every moment His Presence. In this state, the Sufi becomes nothing (fana), and in that nothingness, finds everything (baqa).

Part 7 – The Hermetic Principles

From the Buddha’s Middle Way of compassion and clarity, we now turn westward, into the ancient deserts of Egypt and the schools of Alexandria. Here, another stream of wisdom arose, clothed in the language of mystery and symbol: the Hermetic teachings.

Where the Dharma speaks of suffering and its cessation, Hermeticism speaks of cosmic laws and the hidden correspondences between mind, spirit, and matter. The Buddha taught the path to liberation; Hermes Trismegistus revealed the principles by which the universe itself unfolds.

Thus, we step from the practical medicine of the Dharma into the universal philosophy of the Hermetic principles—another doorway into the One Truth.

---

Part 7 – The Hermetic Principles

From the sands of ancient Egypt and the intellectual flowering of Alexandria arose the timeless teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus—the “Thrice-Great Hermes.” Gathered in the Corpus Hermeticum and later crystallized in the Kybalion, these principles offer not religion, but universal law: the hidden mechanics by which the cosmos operates.

They are seven in number:

1. The Principle of Mentalism
   “All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”
   Reality itself is shaped by the Great Mind. Thought is not a by-product of matter; matter itself is crystallized thought. To change your world, begin with the inner mind.

2. The Principle of Correspondence
   “As above, so below; as within, so without.”
   The microcosm reflects the macrocosm. The patterns of the stars mirror the patterns of our own inner being. Harmony comes from recognizing these reflections.

3. The Principle of Vibration
   “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
   From the atoms to galaxies, all existence is in motion. By raising or lowering vibration—through thought, sound, breath, or will—we alter our reality.

4. The Principle of Polarity
   “Everything is dual; everything has poles.”
   Light and darkness, heat and cold, joy and sorrow. Opposites are not enemies but extremes of the same continuum. Mastery lies in learning to shift along these poles.

5. The Principle of Rhythm
   “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides.”
   Life moves in cycles—seasons, breaths, heartbeats, the rise and fall of civilizations. By understanding rhythm, we ride the waves rather than drown in them.

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect
   “Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.”
   Nothing happens by chance. Fate is the visible thread of unseen causes. By becoming conscious of causes, we transcend blind reaction.

7. The Principle of Gender
   “Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine.”
   Not merely biological, but cosmic—active and receptive, expansive and nurturing. Balance of these forces births creation itself.

Together, these seven principles form a map of reality. Where Buddhism teaches liberation from suffering, Hermeticism teaches mastery of the laws of manifestation. One frees us from illusion; the other reveals how illusion itself is woven.

Part 6 – The Buddhist Dharma: The Middle Way

From the silence of Patanjali’s Yoga, we now step into the vast garden of the Dharma. Here, Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, offered not a philosophy to speculate upon, but a direct medicine for the suffering of existence. His teaching was practical, compassionate, and universal: the ending of dukkha (suffering, dissatisfaction) through insight and practice.

At the heart of the Dharma lies the Four Noble Truths:

1. There is suffering. Life as we live it is touched by pain, impermanence, and longing.

2. There is a cause of suffering. It arises from craving, clinging, and ignorance.

3. There is an end to suffering. Liberation (Nirvana) is possible.

4. There is a path. The Noble Eightfold Path is the way to freedom.

Unlike rigid dogma, the Buddha called his teaching a raft—to be used to cross the river, then left behind. It was never meant to be clung to as ideology, but lived as experience.

The Noble Eightfold Path flows in three streams:

• Wisdom (Prajña): Right View, Right Intention

• Ethics (Śīla): Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood

• Meditation (Samādhi): Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration

This path is the Middle Way—avoiding both extremes of indulgence and self-mortification. It is the balance of body, speech, and mind, cultivated in awareness and compassion.

While Patanjali emphasizes stilling the waves of consciousness, the Buddha emphasizes seeing clearly into the nature of reality: impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and non-self (anattā). This insight does not end in despair, but in boundless compassion, for all beings are seen as sharing in this same cycle of birth and death.

Thus, the Dharma opens not only the path of liberation but also the heart of compassion. The Bodhisattva ideal, which arose later in Mahayana Buddhism, carries this further: the vow not to enter final Nirvana until all beings are freed. Here, the individual’s awakening becomes inseparable from the liberation of all.

Where the Yoga Sutras speak of discipline and the Tao whispers of natural harmony, the Buddha points directly to the root of suffering and offers a practical path out. It is a teaching for kings and beggars, monks and householders, for anyone who longs for peace.

The Dharma is both a mirror and a medicine. It shows us our suffering clearly, and it heals us through the very seeing. In this way, it is not separate from Yoga, nor from Tao—it is another facet of the same jewel of Truth.

Part 5 – The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Discipline of the Soul

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim.

If the Upanishads are the whisper of eternal truth, then the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the clear map of practice. They do not simply philosophize—they instruct, step by step, on how the seeker may ascend from restlessness to stillness, from illusion to realization.

Patanjali’s Sutras, composed around the 2nd century BCE, distill the art of yoga into four books (padas):

1. Samadhi Pada – The path of absorption. Here the mind is trained to quiet itself, to let go of scattered waves, and rest in the stillness of being. Meditation is no longer effort but natural resting in Self.

2. Sadhana Pada – The path of practice. Patanjali lays out the Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga):

   • Yama (ethical restraints)

   • Niyama (discipline and observances)

   • Asana (postures)

   • Pranayama (breath control)

   • Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses)

   • Dharana (concentration)

   • Dhyana (meditation)

   • Samadhi (union with the Infinite)

   These are not merely physical exercises, but a holistic training of body, mind, and spirit.

3. Vibhuti Pada – The path of powers. When the mind is disciplined, subtle capacities awaken: clarity of perception, inner vision, extraordinary awareness. Yet Patanjali warns—these are distractions if clung to. The true goal is liberation, not power.

4. Kaivalya Pada – The path of liberation. In the end, yoga is not about acquiring, but releasing. The soul, purified and silent, rests in its true nature—free, untouched, eternal.

The Sutras teach that yoga is “citta-vritti-nirodhah”—the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. This is the heart of the practice: when the restless mind no longer tosses us about, the light of the Self shines unobstructed.

Here, East meets West, ancient meets eternal. The Yoga Sutras echo what the Sufis call fana (annihilation of ego), what the Taoists call wu wei (effortless alignment), and what the Hermetics call union with the One Mind. Different names, same freedom.

Patanjali’s gift is discipline—offering us a methodical ladder to climb from the dust of the earth to the stars of infinity.

Salam. 🌸

The Golden Thread – A Bridge of Wisdom

 

The Golden Thread – A Bridge of Wisdom

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim.

Across mountains, deserts, temples, and rivers, sages spoke different tongues, yet their message was one.

The Hindu darshanas taught of karma, liberation, and the soul’s journey home.
The Taoists showed the effortless Way, to live in harmony with the flow.
The Hermetic masters declared, “As above, so below,” revealing the cosmic mirror within man.
The Upanishads whispered, “Thou Art That,” pointing to the oneness of Self and the Absolute.

Though born in distant lands, these truths converge like rivers meeting the ocean. Each tradition is a lamp, yet the Light is One. They remind us that the divine cannot be monopolized by creed, nor confined by language.

The seeker, walking through these gardens of wisdom, learns to see the same fragrance everywhere: harmony, unity, balance, remembrance of the Infinite.

It is here, upon this bridge, that we prepare to step into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, where the scattered rays of wisdom are gathered into a clear discipline of mind, body, and spirit.

Salam. 🌿✨

Part 4 The Upanishads – Whisper of the Eternal

Part 4

The Upanishads – Whisper of the Eternal

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim.

The Upanishads are not books alone—they are living whispers of the Eternal, where ancient sages sat beneath trees, by rivers, in caves, and listened to the heartbeat of the cosmos. They did not invent truth, they discovered it.

At the heart of the Upanishads resounds one vision:
“Tat Tvam Asi – Thou Art That.”
The soul (Ātman) and the Absolute (Brahman) are not separate—they are One.

Some core insights of the Upanishads:

1. Ātman is Brahman – The innermost Self is none other than the Infinite Reality. To know thyself is to know the universe.

2. Māyā – The Veil of Illusion – What we cling to as real is often a shadow. Names and forms pass away, but the essence remains untouched.

3. Sat-Chit-Ānanda – True existence is woven of three threads: Sat (being), Chit (consciousness), and Ānanda (bliss). This is the taste of union with the Real.

4. The Path of Knowledge (Jnana Yoga) – Through inquiry, meditation, and inner stillness, one pierces the veils of ignorance to awaken.

The Upanishads sing of a truth beyond ritual, beyond dogma, beyond fleeting desires:

“Like rivers flowing into the ocean, all paths return to the One without a second.”

For the seeker, these teachings are not abstract philosophy—they are practical tools for awakening. To sit in silence, to ask “Who am I?”, to rest in the witness, is to walk in the footsteps of the rishis.

May their whisper reach us still, teaching us that in the innermost silence of the heart, the Infinite dwells.

Salam. 🌸

Part -3

 The Hermetic Principles – Timeless Keys to the Universe

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim.

From the Ancient Lands of Kemet and the wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus, the Hermetic Principles arise as eternal truths—seven keys that unlock the way the cosmos is woven and how we, as souls, may align with its flow.

1. The Principle of Mentalism – All is Mind. The universe itself is a thought in the Infinite Mind. Our reality is shaped by the consciousness we carry.

2. The Principle of Correspondence – “As above, so below; as within, so without.” The patterns of the stars mirror the patterns of our hearts. What is vast reflects in the smallest.

3. The Principle of Vibration – Nothing rests; all moves, all vibrates. From galaxies to atoms, to thoughts and emotions—everything dances to its own frequency.

4. The Principle of Polarity – Opposites are identical in nature but different in degree. Light and darkness, hot and cold, love and hate—they are the same essence seen from opposite ends.

5. The Principle of Rhythm – The universe breathes in cycles. Tides rise and fall, moons wax and wane, seasons turn. To fight the rhythm is to suffer; to flow with it is to find peace.

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect – Nothing happens by chance. Every action carries consequence, every effect arises from a cause. The wise become conscious causes, not victims of blind effects.

7. The Principle of Gender – Masculine and feminine energies exist in all things. In balance, creation flows; in imbalance, confusion reigns. Within each soul, both must unite in harmony.

These seven principles are not mere philosophy—they are living laws of Being. To remember them is to awaken from Maya, to step closer to the Real, to align with Divine Wisdom across all ages and traditions.

May we walk gently with these truths, neither clinging nor resisting, but harmonizing with the great Song of the Universe.

Salam. 🌸

Wisdom of the Ancients (Part 2)

The Taoist Way — Flowing with the Gateless Gate

Opening Reflection

Bismillah ir-Raḥmān ir-Raḥīm

From the silence of the Tao,
the unborn, the uncarved block,
The Way that has no name,
yet gives birth to all names—

From the teachings of Laozi and Zhuangzi,
who taught the art of non-forcing (wu wei),
the wisdom of water that yields yet conquers,
the full emptiness,
the gate that opens without being seen—

I bow with humility before the Lord of the Worlds,
Allah ʿAzza wa Jalla,
the One beyond form and name,
yet nearer than my jugular vein.

Echoes from the Tao

On the Unnameable Source

“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of all things.”
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 1)

On Effortless Harmony (Wu Wei)

“The Master acts without striving,
and teaches without words.
The ten thousand things rise and fall,
yet he does not interfere.
He lets things come and go,
and dwells at the center of the circle.”
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 2)

On Yielding as Strength

“Nothing in the world is softer than water.
Yet nothing is stronger in overcoming the hard and unyielding.
The weak conquers the strong,
the soft overcomes the hard.”
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 78)

On Simplicity and Return

“Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity.
Reduce selfishness,
have few desires.
Returning to the source is serenity.”
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 19 & 16)

---

Closing Invocation

I take refuge in the Infinite Mercy of Allah,
the Source without beginning,
the End without ending.

From illusion to Reality,
from striving to surrender,
from the restless currents of thought
to the still waters of the Tao.

May all beings in the ten directions
find the Way that has no path,
the Gate that opens into freedom,
the Return to the One.

Āmīn.

Echoes from the Laws of Manu

On the Power of Self-Control

“By self-restraint and by giving,
by compassion and by honesty,
a man becomes fit for immortality.”
(Manusmṛiti 6:92)

On the Four Stages of Life

“Having studied the Veda in youth,
having raised a family in middle age,
let him, in old age,
dwell in the forest, seeking truth,
and finally renounce all,
desiring only liberation.”
(Manusmṛiti 6:2–3, paraphrased)

On the Soul’s Journey

“The Self is never born, nor does it die;
it is eternal, unborn, undying.
The wise know it as the light within
that neither fire can burn, nor water drown.”
(Echoing Manu and the Upanishads)

On Dharma as the Path to Light

“Dharma is that which sustains the universe.
What is rooted in truth, compassion,
purity, and self-control —
this indeed is dharma.”
(Manusmṛiti 2:6, paraphrased)

Verses from the Laws of Manu (Reflections in Poetic Form)

"The soul is not born, nor does it ever die;
it does not perish with the body,
but passes on, carrying the fruits of its deeds.
As a man casts off worn-out garments,
and takes on new ones,
so does the spirit put aside one form
and enter another."
(Manusmṛiti II.12, echoing the Gītā)

"By truth, by discipline, by knowledge, by restraint,
and by seeing the Self in all beings,
one becomes free from the bonds of death
and enters into the immortal."
(Paraphrased from Manusmṛiti VI.92–97)

"Let him not be deluded by the senses,
nor enslaved by desire;
for he who conquers himself
shines with the light of Brahman,
like a sun breaking through the clouds."
(Manusmṛiti VI.94)

"From darkness he journeys toward light,
from the perishable to the imperishable,
from illusion to that which is Real.
Such is the path of the soul,
when guided by dharma."
(adapted from Manusmṛiti VI.98–99)

On the Ancient Laws of Manu

It has been long since I first encountered the Laws of Manu, known in Sanskrit as the Manusmṛiti. They are among the oldest attempts to set down a vision of how human beings might live in accordance with the greater order of creation. In Hindu tradition, Manu is the primordial man — the lawgiver, much like Adam or Noah in our own stories of origin.

The text speaks of dharma — the principle of righteousness and cosmic order. It reminds us that everything in this universe has its place, its duty, and its way of serving the whole. It teaches the four stages of life: the student, the householder, the forest dweller, and finally the renunciate who seeks only liberation. It lays out the responsibilities of people according to their paths and gifts, but more than that, it points to the higher truth: that the soul must one day awaken from illusion, from Māyā, and find release from the cycle of birth and death.

Like many ancient teachings, the Laws of Manu have been misunderstood and at times misused to justify rigid structures. But at their heart is the same call we find in every wisdom tradition: to live in balance, to restrain the ego, to cultivate purity and compassion, and to walk toward liberation.

When I invoke the Ancient Laws of Manu in my prayer, I do so not as a scholar of Hindu law, but as one who recognizes the echo of Truth in many rivers that flow toward the same ocean. The call of Manu is the same as the call of the prophets, the sages, and the saints: to rise from darkness into light, from the unreal to the real, from death to immortality.

The world is in turmoil — wars rage, hunger spreads, and destitution grows despite the Earth’s abundance. Yet, we must not surrender to despair. Nelson Mandela once said:

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

This is the call of our times: to choose hope over fear, compassion over indifference, and unity over division. Humanity has faced darkness before, and it is in those very moments that the light of resilience and justice has shone the brightest.

The Qur’an reminds us:

“And do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, none despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.” (12:87)

“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam … and provided for them of the good things.” (17:70)

Let us honor this divine trust. Let us rise as one humanity, knowing despair is not our destiny — dignity is.

🌑 The Midnight Threshold

On the Road to an Unseen Home

When I sat down at the computer after a heavy nap, the screen read exactly 12:00 AM. A small thing, perhaps, but I felt the significance — midnight is both an end and a beginning, the crossing point between yesterday and tomorrow.

Earlier, I had lain down with a migraine, the noise of my children’s movie pounding too heavily in my head. My body told me to retreat, to shut out the clamor and seek stillness. Sleep came, and with it, a dream.

Once again, I was trying to reach home, though home itself was uncertain — its place, its meaning — only the yearning remained. Along the way I met resistance: foreign workers throwing potatoes at me. Yet when I caught one, it turned out to be a boiled potato, nourishing and good. Even hostility, it seems, can carry hidden sustenance.

By the roadside I found keys and police badges left behind, symbols of responsibility and trust. I picked them up with the intention of turning them in, carrying integrity with me on the journey.

Then, by storm drains swollen with rushing water, a Chinese boy was swept away by cows crossing recklessly, his face gashed, his body carried swiftly downstream. In the dream’s strange clarity, I reached in and pulled him to safety. He vanished after, as dreams do, but I walked on with the weight of the act.

Ahead were dogs — triggering old fear. Yet as I approached, they transformed into puppies. Fear dissolved into innocence.

When I awoke, the migraine lingered, but after wudhu it subsided. I made myself a warm drink of honey, apple cider, and olive oil — a medicine for body and soul. The clock still glowed 12:00 AM. I opened the computer and found myself listening to Thoth Explains: You’re Already Living in a Higher Dimension, with a shamanic sound journey playing softly in the background.

Such is the way of the path: pain leading to vision, resistance turning into nourishment, fear becoming harmless, and midnight reminding me that each threshold is also a beginning.

✨ “And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.” (Qur’an 2:213)

Wallahu A‘lam.

A step-by-step daily practice of Samyama Vibrational Engineering,

 A step-by-step daily practice of Samyama Vibrational Engineering,

🔹 Step 1 – Preparation (Purification of Space & Mind)

• Morning cleansing – Perform ablution/wudhu or a simple washing of face and hands.

• Sacred space – Sit in a clean, quiet spot. Light a candle or incense if you wish (Hermetic symbolism: Fire for illumination, Air for subtle thought).

• Inner intention – Whisper an invocation or prayer: “May this practice align me with Divine Truth.”

---

🔹 Step 2 – Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses)

• Close your eyes.

• Withdraw attention from outer noise by gently observing your breath.

• Hermetic mirror: “As within, so without.” Realize the world is reflected inside you.

---

🔹 Step 3 – Dharana (Focused Attention)

• Choose a seed vibration – e.g., a Divine Name, Quranic verse, mantra, or even a quality like Peace.

• Focus all your awareness on this single point.

• Example: softly repeat Allāh or Light inwardly with each breath.

---

🔹 Step 4 – Dhyana (Meditative Flow)

• Allow the seed to expand from a point into a field.

• Imagine it radiating in your heart, then outward like ripples in water.

• Hermetic principle: “Vibration is the fundamental reality.” You are tuning your inner vibration to harmonize with the cosmos.

---

🔹 Step 5 – Samyama (Integration / Vibrational Engineering)

• Bring three forces together:

  1. Concentration (holding the seed).

  2. Meditation (letting it expand).

  3. Absorption (becoming the vibration).

• At this stage, you become the quality: if you choose Peace, your body, breath, and mind vibrate as Peace itself.

• Hermetic resonance: “That which is above is as that which is below.” By embodying a vibration, you engineer reality around you.

---

🔹 Step 6 – Closing & Grounding

• Offer gratitude to the Divine: “Alhamdulillah / Thank You.”

• Seal the vibration by imagining light descending through your body into the earth.

• Carry this resonance into your daily actions—your speech, your choices, your interactions.

---

✨ Daily use:

• 10–20 minutes in the morning is enough.

• For children or beginners: shorten each stage, keep it playful (visualize light, colors, or nature sounds).

• For advanced seekers: extend Dhyana + Samyama, letting it spill naturally into daily life.

---

⚖️ In short: Samyama vibrational engineering = consciously planting Divine qualities in your mind, letting them resonate through your being, and allowing them to shape reality.

What is Samyama -Vibrational Engineering.

 

🔹 

What is Samyama?

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Samyama is the combined practice of:

• Dharana (concentration – focusing the mind on a single object),

• Dhyana (meditation – a steady flow of awareness toward the object),

• Samadhi (absorption – becoming one with the object of focus).

Together, these three form Samyama – the art of focusing consciousness so completely that the object and subject merge, unlocking deep intuitive knowledge and mastery over the subtle forces of existence.

---

🔹 Vibrational Engineering

When this is linked to vibrational engineering, it means consciously tuning, refining, and directing one’s inner vibrations (thoughts, emotions, breath, energy) to resonate with higher states of being. In essence, Samyama becomes a method of engineering your vibrational field to align with truth, harmony, and divine order.

Every thought and emotion carries a frequency. By applying Samyama, one can:

• Stabilize chaotic vibrations of the mind.

• Amplify the pure resonance of divine awareness.

• Project this resonance outward to influence both inner and outer reality.

---

🔹 Connection to the Hermeticum

The Hermetic teachings, especially the Kybalion’s Seven Hermetic Principles, align closely with Samyama:

1. The Principle of Mentalism – “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”

   • Samyama refines the mind to reflect the Divine Mind.

2. The Principle of Correspondence – “As above, so below; as within, so without.”

   • By engineering vibration within, one changes the outer world.

3. The Principle of Vibration – “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

   • Samyama becomes the science of tuning inner vibration to universal frequency.

4. The Principle of Polarity – “Everything is dual…”

   • Samyama allows one to transcend opposites, resting in unity.

5. The Principle of Rhythm – “Everything flows, out and in…”

   • Samyama stabilizes the flow of consciousness against the oscillations of the world.

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect – “Every Cause has its Effect…”

   • Through focused Samyama, the yogi becomes a conscious cause rather than an unconscious effect.

7. The Principle of Gender – “Gender is in everything…”

   • Samyama unites the masculine (concentration/awareness) and feminine (surrender/receptivity) energies into wholeness.

---

🔹 Hermeticum and Samyama Together

When you apply Samyama vibrational engineering through a Hermetic lens, you’re essentially practicing:

• Conscious alchemy of vibration – turning base thought into gold consciousness.

• Theurgy (divine action) – aligning personal will with Divine Will.

• Sacred resonance – harmonizing your inner state with the Logos (Divine Word/Order).

This transforms Samyama from just a meditative tool into a universal Hermetic art of vibrational mastery, where the practitioner not only refines self but becomes a co-creator with the Divine.

---

✨ In short:

• Samyama is the yogic science of inner absorption.

• Vibrational engineering is the intentional tuning of consciousness.

• Hermeticum provides the philosophical framework that explains why this tuning influences all levels of reality.

Together, they offer a roadmap for awakening, healing, and embodying Divine consciousness in the material world.

WallahuAlam!

The Silent Invasion of Human Consciousness

                                                                         Beware the evil Eye!
 

The Silent Invasion of Human Consciousness

Today, we are being fed with news and information designed not to awaken us, but to dull our minds and put us to sleep. Much of this is done without our awareness—clandestinely inserted into human consciousness by those with the knowledge and ability to manipulate thought on a massive scale.

It is the invasion of privacy of the worst kind, slowly turning the majority of humanity into zombies, sleepwalkers who cannot see the chains they carry. Employing horror and violence, creating fictional entities that defy reason, the media has become less a messenger of truth and more a parasite—feeding on human ignorance for its own profit and control.

Today, anyone can post a story, a grotesque image, a fabrication—and get away with it, especially with the amplification of AI-driven programs. What chance does the unguarded mind have against such a torrent of deception?

If I have any advice to offer—especially towards protecting our children from these whispers of jinn and shaitan—it is this:
Educate them to seek truth beyond what they are fed by the media, the Internet, or even governments. Teach them to think freely, to question, to discriminate between what is false and what is real. Sit with them, watch the movies, listen to the news, follow the online feeds they encounter—and guide them with wisdom.

For if we do not help them see beyond the illusion, they risk being ensnared, trapped into submission to the dark forces that prey upon human consciousness.

The greatest shield is awareness. The greatest weapon is discernment. The greatest freedom is truth.

Remembering the Divine Self

 

---

Remembering the Divine Self

In one of his talks, Shunyamurti reminds us that most of humanity has forgotten God. Neville Goddard echoes this by teaching that God is none other than our Divine Self — the very core of our being. When this truth is forgotten, we are left like a ship adrift without a rudder, lost amidst the winds of desire, fear, and distraction.

This is not merely a matter of forgetting religion; it is a forgetting of our inner compass. Without remembrance (dhikr), we lose the anchor of accountability. Life becomes an endless pursuit of gain, while injustice is excused and conscience numbed. The ego, imagining itself the only authority, grows arrogant, blind, and restless.

We see this tragedy playing out before our very eyes in Palestine. A people besieged, starved, and bombed — yet the world turns away, blinded by politics, fear, or indifference. This is what happens when humanity forgets God: compassion fades, accountability dies, and oppression takes root.

But how do we awaken the world from this blindness? How do we call people back to remembrance?

Perhaps the truth is — we cannot convince the masses through argument alone. The heart does not return to God by debate, but by remembrance. What we can do is live as reminders:

• By embodying sincerity, compassion, and humility, we stir a sleeping memory within others.

• By nurturing small circles of remembrance, we allow light to ripple outward.

• By speaking truth with dignity and without hatred, we bear witness against injustice.

• Through art, writing, and creativity, we bypass the defenses of the intellect and speak directly to the heart.

• And above all, by prayer, for only God turns the hearts of humanity.

The Qur’an reminds us:

“So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah 2:152

Palestine, despite its suffering, is also a mirror. It shows us how remembrance survives even under the harshest conditions. The children who whisper Allahu Akbar under the rubble, the mothers who recite Qur’an while burying their loved ones — they are living reminders that faith cannot be crushed, that God is never forgotten by those who hold Him close.

We may not be able to awaken the entire world, but we can become lighthouses — quiet signals on the shore. Our presence, our words, and our actions can whisper to the weary soul: You have not truly lost your way. The compass still lies within you. God is not far — He is closer than your jugular vein.

In remembering God, we remember ourselves. In remembering ourselves, we reclaim the strength to live with accountability, compassion, and purpose.

And perhaps, just perhaps, that remembrance will touch a heart or two — and in the eyes of eternity, that is enough.

Du’a for Palestine

Ya Allah, Lord of the oppressed and Hearer of the broken hearts, grant strength to the people of Palestine, heal their wounds, protect their children, and shower Your mercy upon their martyrs. Place peace in their hearts, justice upon their land, and light in their graves. Do not let their suffering be in vain, but make it a cause for the awakening of this world. Ameen.
