Most Direct Guidance | meditative Quranic verses

In Islamic wisdom tradition one of the revealed 99 attributes of God is al-Hadi which translate as "the Guide". The roots of Hadi is a voice, sound, sensation or direct message (HAD) that returns us to the source of life and take us further (I).The Bible relates that when Prophet Elijah (arabic Ilyas or Elias in Quran), when in trouble listened for the, "still, small voice", through which he heard the voice of the Holy One. Often our heart is in need, is in longing for such simple, direct sense of guidance.Sufi master Inayat Khan's prayer reflected beautifully the invocation for heart's opening to that direct guidance within.Open our hearts that we mayhear Thy voicewhich constantly cometh from within.- Prayer of Inayat Khan.The Divine is the All Hearing, As-Sami, the Ever Listening.

2007-10-18 22:51:00 Wa la taqooloo liman yuqtalu fee sabeeli Allahi amwatun bal ahyaon wa lakin la tashAAuroona. transliterationAnd do not call those who die in God (MahaSamadhi) as "dead", no! they are living in their soul's merging with God; only you perceive not. (The Quran 2:154)Translated on the esoteric level of meaning.The Final Testament, Quran has many levels of meanings and on broad generalization namely two: external or literal and internal or mystical (sufistic) or that of ma'rifa (gnosis). This particular verse is a good example why literal translation of Quranic verses are not the only way to approach the Quran.First of all, in general translation and explanation (tafsir or exegeses) of this verse, the death referred as: yuqtalu fee sabeeli Allahi, is translated as that of death in lesser Jihad (some even translated as those who are slain). But this poor translation is not fitting to the weight of this verse.Here is an explanation why literal translation of Quranic verses without probin...
Video: Ken Wilbur enters into various meditative states during a EEG Neuro
2007-08-29 21:53:00 You may have already seen this, but it is new to me. Ken Wilbur narrates a video of his own experience using neurofeedback while navigating various meditative states. From YouTube: 'We asked Ken to do a short 10-minute commentary on these various meditative states and the corresponding brain-wave patterns that are shown on the EEG machine in the video. Ken enters four meditative states (nirvikalpa closed eyes, nirvikalpa open eyes, sahaj, and mantra-savikalpa), each of which has a very distinctive brain-wave pattern. In his commentary, Ken emphasizes that the patterns shown on this machine may or may not be typical, but they do emphasize that profound consciousness states can be evoked at will, and these show immediate correlation in brain-wave patterns.'

A meditative silence
2007-07-05 09:21:00 Some very nice self portrait series by Kimiko Yoshida...My primary reason for using monochromes is to express the infinity of time, timelessness. People are often surprised by the fact that I never use computers or filters to obtain a monochromatic effect. In a traditional color image, you can count the colors, it?s overly-talkative. A monochromatic image offers a meditative silence.But as you move closer to my images, you discover details in them which sprout up from what appears to be a monochromatic, flat surface. That is why I cover my pictures in plexiglass, to capture the reflections of the people and the objects surrounding them... from an interview by Barbara Oudiz - Eyemazing
