À propos de cet audio

Before manifestation, what existed? Zat, the truly existing, the only being. In what form? In no form. As what? As nothing. The only definition that words can give is as the absolute. In the Sufi terms this existence is termed Ahadiat, a consciousness arose out of the absolute, the consciousness of existence. There was nothing of which the absolute could be conscious, only of existence. This stage is called Wahdat, out of this consciousness of existence a sense developed, a sense “that I exist”. It was a development of the consciousness of existence. It is this development that formed the first ego, the logos, which is termed Wahdaniat by the Sufis. With the feeling of the I-ness the innate power of the absolute, so to speak, pulled itself together; in other words, concentrated on one point; thus the all-pervading radiance formed its center, the center that is the divine spirit or the Nur, in Sufic terms called Arwah. This central light then divided existence into two forms, light and darkness; in point of fact, there is no such thing as darkness; there has never been.
