Abstract

ny thoughts and questions and had trouble initially with pulling it all together to experience and express my meditation today. So the only way left was to start with The word. To come to think about it there is nothing else outside The word, nothing else other than The word. So we shall start with The word.The word

ALLAHRoot of the word gives us a beautiful starting point. This is how the book describes it “ AL meaning the sacred something, the ultimate YES, coupled with the root LA, meaning the sacred Nothing, the ultimate NO."My immediate thought was the unity of the sacred energy with the sacred void. Unity of the dance of Shakti with the meditation of Shiva. Unity of consciousness and eternity. Unity of the world and the heavens. Unity of my views of reality and the dreams of sleeping eyes. Unity of my desire for isolation and my desire for connection. I never had to choose one of the two. My conflicts dissolve. I never had to choose between this or that. I do not need to split into two. I am the the wave and the sea. I am the conscious universe and the black sea behind my meditating eyes that holds the silence of the wordless -The H.<p

The Sufi Book Of Life By Neil Douglas- Klotz

Allah When you are guided to this pathway of the heart, take a moment to reflect the quality in you that unites all qualities, that joins the yes and no of your being. — The Sufi Book Of Life, 99 Pathways of the heart for the modern Dervish

In just 3 pages for each pathway, the author manages to pack so much of wisdom and insight, that reader could spend days on contemplating on just one line. One can actually spend their entire life on studying just this one word.

This one word is not counted as one of the ninety-nine. “ It is beyond numbering and yet includes all numbers, it is sometimes symbolically numbered zero, indicating both everything and nothing, being and non being, infinity and each moment.” — Neil Douglas-Klotz

As I was reflecting on this 0th pathway, I had so many thoughts and questions and had trouble initially with pulling it all together to experience and express my meditation today. So the only way left was to start with The word. To come to think about it there is nothing else outside The word, nothing else other than The word. So we shall start with The word.

The word ALLAH

Root of the word gives us a beautiful starting point. This is how the book describes it “ AL meaning the sacred something, the ultimate YES, coupled with the root LA, meaning the sacred Nothing, the ultimate NO."

My immediate thought was the unity of the sacred energy with the sacred void. Unity of the dance of Shakti with the meditation of Shiva. Unity of consciousness and eternity. Unity of the world and the heavens. Unity of my views of reality and the dreams of sleeping eyes. Unity of my desire for isolation and my desire for connection. I never had to choose one of the two. My conflicts dissolve. I never had to choose between this or that. I do not need to split into two. I am the the wave and the sea. I am the conscious universe and the black sea behind my meditating eyes that holds the silence of the wordless -The H.

The H. The Divine Secret “ The final H of Allah affirms that there is yet a divine secret, something not heard or pronounced, without name and form and beyond all our ideas of the divine.” — Neil Douglas - Klotz

As steam from my hot cup of coffee rises, I let the universe in. I let it all in. The good, the bad, the ugly. The beauty and the horror. I sit in the atmosphere of the One. In the “unity’s ocean". In the formless. With the divine secret.
