The Mystery of Resurrection, Surah Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)

Image
Introduction The popular religions throughout history have contributed towards the spiritualization of humanity through their creeds and codes, and for them to have practical significance albeit of their mystical nature. The mysterious nature of human consciousness has the ability to witness the phenomenon of death with somewhat greater a wonder than other living creatures, and thereby the recognition of something beyond their comprehension has confounded their minds, such that the consolation of their hearts have required a leap of faith leading into the domain of immortality. There are fundamentally two distinct forms of immortality employed by religions in the support of their creeds, reincarnation and resurrection. The mystery of reincarnation is simpler than that of resurrection, because reincarnation only involves a spirit taking material forms based on its strength and accomplishments; while the mystery of resurrection has multiple variables to be taken into accoun

The Art of Gold Making in Quran

The occult sciences predominantly comprise of the essential theme of Quran in its chapter called 'The Believers'. The structure of Quran here seems to have fundamentally been constructed to appeal to the psychic nature of man, such that the human mind may find focus and conviction in the cosmic status of its purpose through a sympathetic association with the higher acts of goodness. For instance, the first twelve verses stated in the Chapter 23 of Quran have a theme that corresponds to the principle characteristics of the twelve zodiac signs. Accordingly, 1 Successful indeed are the believers (Aries = Victory) 2 Who are humble in their prayers, (Taurus = Attitude) 3 And who shun vain conversation, (Gemini = Communication) 4 And who are payers of the poor-due; (Cancer = Support) 5 And who guard their modesty - (Leo = Self Expression) 6 Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy, (Virgo = Selection) 7 But whoso c

The Mystical Doctrine of Freedom in Quran

There are three parts of being a human; the spirit, the mind, and the body. The spirit is the decision making royalty, the mind processes the decisions of the spirit and creates methods to workout those decisions, and the body is the labor force tasked with executing the manual of procedures provided by the mind. A man has a Total Freedom if his spirit is in charge of life, has a Partial Freedom if his mind is in charge of life, and has No Freedom if his body is in charge of life. In the first case the man is a leader, in the second case he is a bureaucrat, and in the third case he is a laborer. The mystical doctrine therefore suggests that every compromise that would destroy leadership of the superior over the inferior to be potentially dangerous for the freedom of man, and as such must be carefully avoided by him to protect his freedom. The Quran says, By the sun and his brightness, And the moon when she followeth him, And the day when it revealeth him, And the night

The Esoteric Punishments of Quran

The following text include some of the most controversial punishments for the crime of apostasy present in any sacred book of a religion. Nonetheless, there is a definite underlying esoteric theme in the text that is not usually distinguished by traditionalist scholars, and likely adds value of a greater purpose to the Quran. The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom; Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (05, 33-34) The four punishments that are described in the Quran here are elemental punishments for the alchemical processes of decomposition, sublimation, incineration, and dissolution. The punishment of 'death' is by the eleme
