THE POWER OF FASTING : INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS

A presentation delivered by Sallina Ismail at the International Conference on Religion, Social Sciences and Technological Education held at the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies @ USIM, September 2018

"Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgement (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in FASTING" Surah Al Baqarah, 185

FASTING is  a beautiful phrase. ellah is beauty and He loves everything beautiful: 

Faith Forgiveness Forbearance Fear Fathonah
Acceptance Attainment Affirmation Acquire Approval Acknowledge Amanah
Submission Sempiternal Significant Serenity Surety Sacrifice Special Siddiq
Trust Truthfulness Task Term Tranquility Therapeutic Timeless Transcend Tolerance Tabligh
Integrity Improve Incentive Invigorate Inspire Illuminate Immaculate Indicator Intelligence
Navigate Nourishment Nothingness: Void Vacuum
Grace Glorify Gain Generosity 

INTRODUCTION

"The fast (Saum) is for Me and I will reward it" Hadith Bukhari, 1761 and Muslim, 1946

Fasting is a physical and spiritual practice and is a way to remind us that our body-mind-soul-spirit are properties that is impacted and regulated by higher power even though we are given the choice of Free Will. In regard to Free Will, Rumi said, “Free Will exists so that Free Will can be given up freely. Such a person feels no genuine delight if he or she is not drained empty. With all the delicious food and drink in the world, true pleasure comes only with the extinction of pleasure and its replacement by soul delight. Those who have gone through fana into baqa, through annihilation into that which has always been, become all body and all consciousness. With dissolving begins some overwhelming joy.”

We are a wonderful accumulation of energy, impulses, sensations, and perception guided by three exceptional organs: the brain, the gut brain and the heart brain. 

"It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law)" Surah Yaseen, 40

The human body is engineered with 3 brains and each has its own purpose and function. Therefore, it is not permitted for the gut brain to catch up the heart brain, and the brain cannot outstrip the soul and spirit. Each swims along in its own intelligence according to the law that is pre-established on the sub-atomic level in the Lauh Mahfuz.

""And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew" Surah Al-Baqarah, 184

The power of fasting is enormous and is a blessing sent down by Ellah swt due to His great love for us. Fasting is a sort of a mechanism or a device that transforms input forces and actions into a desired set of output forces and actions via niyaat or intention. Energy follows intention! Energy is the capacity to produce effect. Intent is the cause and forces and actions are its effect. Intention is what causes us to act. It is what open the door to allow a flow of energy within our body-mind—spirit-soul to attain the energy to act in a way that it is intended.

Intention and The Intelligent Mind Force – the RAS

5 INTENT factors influencing the power of Fasting:

** For the sake of Ellah swt

** Total Submission, sacrifice and surrender

** Servanthood: humility 

** Love and Sincerity

** Food

“Well doth He know what ye are intent upon: and one day they will be brought back to Him, and He will tell them the truth of what they did: for Ellah doth know all things” Surah An Nur, 64

"Fasting is our sacrifice. It is the life of our soul. Let us sacrifice all our body since the soul has arrived as guest" Rumi

There is a mind force created in the human brain and what you intent upon will give you the desired effect 100%. It is the RAS (Reticular Activating System) and is a magnet that draws to you what you value most in your life. During intention, RAS “influences our ability to direct attention toward specific areas of our conscious minds and its job is to regulate behavioral arousal, consciousness and motivation." 

“Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong)” Surah Al Baqarah, 185

We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Ellah’s permission, on every errand: Peace! This until the rise of morn!” Surah Al Qadr, 1 – 5

Reticular Activating System (RAS)

Intention drives RAS to “activate the entire cerebral cortex with energy, waking it up, increasing its level of arousal and readiness for interpreting incoming information” and this is crucial for the brain to arrange, develop, assemble and construct for suitable action and response during the Night of Power.

“Be men of Ellah” Surah Al-i-Imraan, 79

And when intention is for the sake of Ellah swt, repeated daily and affirmed with love, sincerity and true devotion, it will become the loudest voice in your head moving you towards (Israa’) Ellah swt – light upon light and unto His light. Intention that is not sincere alters consciousness in a way that higher brain regions such as the cerebral cortex can inhibit incoming information from the other dimension.

Rumi says about Laylatul'Qadr: 

“God, just like the Night of Power, is hidden amidst the other nights so that the soul will go on seeking every night. O' young ones, not every night is the Night of Power and yet, not every night is bereft of the Night of Power.”

Fasting is a divine calling, Israa’ towards divine presence and Mi’raj during the Night of Power to receive divine intelligence guidance. 

“And the Soul (light), when the Night conceals it, by the Day as it emerge its Glory like the Sun; this is the mystery of the creation of male and female; end of the day, it is what you strive which is what you get!” Surah Al Layl, 1

"There is an Original inside you" Rumi

The soul is Light in nature but Darkness conceals it and veil it from the Truth. The soul possesses the same characteristics like that of the sun. This is the mystery of our creation. End of the day, what you strive is what you get : either Light or Darkness.

Adab of Fasting

“For Ellah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean” Surah Al Baqarah, 222

“Sufism resides entirely in adab” (al-taṣawwuf kulluhu ādāb); each transcending spiritual maqam harmonizes etiquette. With adab, everything glides along unhindered. The adab that we should observed during fasting must be in accordance to the Holy Quran. 

"Your inward soul is hungry. Your outward flesh is over fed" Rumi

Foods we eat do impact the end result of fasting. 

"IF the brain and belly are burning clean with fasting, every moment a new song comes out of the fire. The fog clears and new energy makes you run up the steps in front of you" Rumi 

With fasting, your body will become lighter. When you are stuffed with so much food and drink, “an ugly metal statue (idol) sits where your spirit should” said Rumi. Fasting makes you regain back all the good-ness that you have lost. It’s like Zakaria bringing food to Maryam only to find the Lord’s food being served to her. 

“O’ you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may develop God-consciousness" Surah Al Baqarah, 183

However, we are unable to achieve the God-consciousness state during the Night of Power due to the dead foods that we eat. Halal and living food is a powerful force that possesses the capability for perfect chemical reaction to transpire which will raise our consciousness to higher level consciousness i.e God-consciousness - the Domino Effect. This can be contemplated by the verse, “By the fig and the olive; and the Mount Sinai;” Surah At-Tin, 1. 

“Ellah warns you to be aware of Him” Surah A-li-Imraan, 28 & 30

“Man is a combination of earthly body and the divine spirit” Surah Al Sajdah, 9

Fasting is a powerful energetic shift: from unknowing to God-consciousness, from unlettered to Spiritual Intelligence. 

The significance that God-consciousness and TAWHID experience hold for us as Muslims, I have conducted a research to analyze the potential and powerful God-consciousness properties that is engineered in the human body to effect this experience. 

The Importance of TAWHID Experience

"I was a hidden treasure, and I wished to be known, so I created a creation (mankind), then made Myself known to them, and they recognised Me" Hadith Qudsi

“I swear by the locations of the stars (and their falling)” Surah Al Waqiah, 75

"For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Ellah" Surah An'aam, 79

Have you ever wonder why the fate of all the stars endpoint is the Black Hole? The stars follow a life cycle just like humans, they were born and have a childhood phase and grow into adulthood and reach an endpoint. From a childhood star and grow into a white dwarf to neutron star and supernova to Black Hole corresponds to the four ranks of man: from insan Jalal to insan Jamal and insan Kamal to insan Kamil (makrifah), the endpoint.  Men of faith possesses the same side effects of the stars to reach the endpoint of guardianship, the makrifah stage, the Black Hole (Singularity - TAWHID). 

"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Ellah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham (TAWHID) the true in Faith? For Ellah did take Abraham for a friend" Surah An Nisaa, 125

When Ellah swt swears by something, it is either a strict warning or it possesses an intrinsic value and is significant for us to truly ponder and uphold it. Ellah swt swears by the location of the stars (and their falling) points to the event horizon that is dipped into singularity. Singularity holds the name of Ellah swt i.e El Ahad. A singularity is what all matter are obliterated into so that "there is no god but God" prevail . So, the endpoint of humans as caliphs is to resolved its state to be annihilated into singularity, i.e TAWHID. This is the hakikat Insan, the highest pinnacle of light and is the threshold that must be uphold to surround our being-ness as Muslims.

"Glory to Ellah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge" Surah Yaseen, 36

"Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who believe" Surah Al Jathiyah, 3

"So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful" Surah Al-Baqarah, 54

With supersymmetry (twin, copy, pairs), a complex system that underlie Ellah’s divine plan for Muslims to perform duties as caliphs can reveal itself. A new study has mapped the abundance of elements found in the human body, the building blocks of life, in the stars of the Milky Way. Insan Kamil’s superpartner is the Black Hole and possesses within itself the same behaviour and characteristic, formulated to be supersymmetric. We are moulded from the same elements as the stars in its Law of Pairs and are constrained by the same geometry and its fundamental forces. The endpoint of all creation is to "die before dying" to obliterate into a Black Hole i.e singularity, hence the makrifah stage of Insan (Muhammad) is to resolve back to its original state - Ahmad - with the attributes of TAWHID vibrating within his consciousness. And did you realized that the Holy Quran mentioned "AHMAD" only once (one) i.e in Surah As Saff, 6. 

 

God-Consciousness Powered by Quantum Mechanics

“He is Omnipotent (Sovereign) over His servants, He is the Wise, the Aware!” Surah Al An’am, 19

"Ellah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His light is as if there were a niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass. The glass as it were a brilliant star. Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Ellah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Ellah doth set forth Parables for men: and Ellah doth know all things” Surah An Nur, 35

 

The pleasure of TAWHID and God-consciousness experienced by prophets, saints and men of faith during the Night of Power can be understood by pondering Surah An Nur, 35 which reveal how light upon light and unto His light vibrate in men of faith.  Surah An Nur also contain within itself, ayats that are mutashabihaat and this verse truly fascinates me because it leads me to understand how Conscious Observers (Light upon Light) play a fundamental role in obliterating oneself to experience God-consciousness and the bliss of Tawhid.  

Ellah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. Light is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient and Light is one of the attributes of Ellah swt. Light is consciousness and is intelligence.

The parable of Ellah’s light is as if there were:

1.    "a lamp enclosed in a glass and the glass is as if a brilliant star"

The glass mentioned in Surah An Nur, 35 is no other than the human brain. Can a human brain be a glass brain? Here is an incredible fact. Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79, that wiped out life in Pompeii, Italy, and its surrounding area. Nearly 2,000 years later, all that remains of the victims are the striking body casts of the people who once lived there, and bones. That's how the brain was found — in glass-like fragments.

Bone fragments from the victim's skull. The intense heat caused the skull to burst open. The glassy black material on some of the skull fragments are the vitrified brain tissue. Source: New England Journal of Medicine.

Italian team of researchers' findings, published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine: a victim, found lying on a wooden bed buried in volcanic ash in the town of Herculaneum and his brain. 

"The preservation of ancient brain remains is an extremely rare find," said lead author Dr. Pier Paola Petrone, head of the human osteobiology and forensic anthropology laboratory at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy. He goes on to say, "this is the first ever discovery of ancient human brain remains, vitrified by heat." Vitrification is "the process through which a material is heated to an extremely high temperature until it liquefies and then cooled rapidly, leading to the formation of a glass-like material."

And there is a Glass Brain Project research done by University of California San Francisco researchers, now being revealed to us in the 21st century. You can see how the glass brain lit pulses of light like a brilliant star.

This is an anatomically-realistic 3D brain visualization depicting real-time source-localized activity (power and “effective” connectivity) from EEG (electroencephalographic) signals. The Glass Brain technology was developed by UCSF researcher Adam Gazzaley and colleagues at UC San Diego. Researchers use a glass brain and pulses of light to show how information flows between different regions of the brain – Source:   https://neuroscape.ucsf.edu/.

"Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers" Surah Al-Baqarah, 164

There are 120 billion neurons and 90% is the Glial Cells that glue the neurons in the brain, likewise there are 120 billion galaxies in the Milky Way and 90% is the “Dark Matter” force that glue the universe. "Dark Matter" is not dark, but Light of piercing brightness and if it disclose its splendor, it will burn out everything. The "Dark Matter" that glue the universe is the mirror image of the Glial Cells in our brain is enough to comprehend the brilliance of its Light lit up in our brain. Dark Matter is termed by scientist as the ‘Cosmic Glue’ and Glial Cell, in Greek means ‘Glue.’

“But God did pour His messengers and on the Believers, and sent down forces which ye saw not” Surah Al Tawbah, 26 

According to Science, the "Dark Matter“ : can be burnt out stars -- white dwarfs or black holes, it can be matter which is not composed of electrically charged particles. "Dark matter" is undetectable by mere observation, yet can produce a gravitational interaction. 

Therefore I must say that “Glial Cells” : can be burnt out brains (spiritual or universal intelligence = God-intelligence). 

Glial Cell is not composed of electrically charged particles and is detectable by observations and can produce  gravitational interactions - Glial Cells and "Dark Matter" share mutual resemblance to each other telling us that we have on our shoulder a brain that have the same quantum mechanical processes and properties as the universe. 

“Scientific evidence has generated a number of models in an effort to explain Atom and ‘God-particle’. However, modern scientist overlooked the esoteric and mystic comprehensive spiritual explanation for these miraculous phenomena. As was stated in a Smithsonian review article, "The real story of the Universe, it seems, is in its Dark Matter.” Sources: cbsnews.com/news/god-particle-why-the-higgs-boson-matters by Shoshana Davis CBS News Marc 19, 2013, 10:38 AM.©2013 CBS Interactive Inc.

"Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Ellah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see" Surah Al-Baqarah, 17

"Ellah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not" Surah At-Tawba, 127

The “Dark Matter” centers “light of piercing brightness” that glue the universe, and without it, the stars and galaxies float in ignorance. Man too possesses the “Dark Matter” centers "Glial Cell" that glues the neurons, without it, the brain projects illusion consciousness and we will float in ignorance: chaos, poverty, limited knowledge, restless, struggle, delusion, etc. 

“On earth are signs for the believers and in your own selves, will you not then see?" Surah Al Dhaariyat, 20 & 21

The luminous light lit like a lamp in a glass (brain). The light that illuminates like a brilliant star in our brain can be understood by pondering the nature of jellyfish. It is estimated that about 50% of jellyfish are bioluminescent. The jellyfish do not have a heart, lungs nor brain. They need no brain to process complex thoughts because they are being controlled by light - light upon light and unto His light function. Quantum mechanics has taken over their being-ness. The brighter the light pulses are the more photons are entangled to their super partners in the realm of light. Light upon light mechanism is what govern and drive the jellyfish’s life and their life is being well taken care of since they are tied to the realm of light.  

"And there is no creature on earth but that upon Ellah is its provision, and He knows the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record" Surah Hud, 6

The cell membrane, the jelly like structure function as an interaction medium or oscillator between the jellyfish and the environment. The photons do not interact amongst themselves, they interact through the mechanism of entanglement. The interaction between photons and the Conscious Observers from the realm of light allowing in principle quantum information, that is pre-established in the Lauh Mahfuz to be delivered to their consciousness. The cell membrane and the photons are engineered in a deterministic state and are prepared in an entangled state since they were created. The cell membrane is created as a protective and adaptive, reflecting a highly conserved evolutionary mechanism enabling speed of light adjustment to stressors in the environment.

"We have honoured the sons of Adam" Surah Al Israa, 70

2.   "a niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass"

The Central Nervous System, the spinal cord share mutual resemblance to the wick and the enclosed glass share mutual resemblance to the brain. And because of the oil (mentioned as Olive in Surah An Nur, 35), the wick lit fire in the glass and the fire share mutual resemblance to the neurons firing light impulses in the brain.  

Niche meaning: place (something) in a niche or recess. Niche often refers to a position or interest that allows someone or something to thrive in a particular environment - Source : www.dictionary.com

3.    "an Olive, whose oil is well nigh luminous"

When we were developing in the womb, we were immersed in amniotic fluid. As our nervous systems is formed, some of this fluid are trapped inside the neural tube, forming the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes our brains. Amniotic fluid can vary in color from clear to slightly yellowish, the colour of the Olive oil. 

"By the Fig and the Olive, and Mount Sinai" Surah At Tin, 1 - 2

Olive is considered as a blessing in Surah At Tin, 1.  Mount Sinai, which is an ayat that is mutashabihaat, tells us that Fig and Olive provides immense benefit for man and possesses the capability for higher consciousness and awareness to take effect in the brain. And according to science, Olive oil emit fluorescence light. Fluorescence is a form of photoluminescence which describes the emission of photons after being illuminated with light. Living organism emit light in its degree of brightness called bioluminescence. As in living organisms, so is the Olive oil.

Behind every atom of the world hides an infinite universe – Rumi

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation – Wikipedia

Image credit: https://www.physicscentral.com/experiment/physicsathome/fluorescent-oil.cfm

Surah An Nur, 35 described the Olive oil emitting well-nigh luminous light and this is what is known as fluorescence. Emissions of pure olive oil, the "extra virgin olive oil" was found to be “the most fluorescent of all oils.” 

The Olive oil assumed strange light properties because of its “well-nigh luminous” state and without doubt, it carries transmissible information that is highly coherent since the oil moves through it uninterrupted and concurrently, had to have a strong atomic forces to produce such light with extremely well-nigh luminosity. Which literally mean that the Cerebrospinal fluid in the Central Nervous system share the same quantum effect and its properties share mutual resemblance to the characteristics of the Olive Oil.

This is a Central Nervous System in action. Please visit this link to observe it in real time at https://txchnologist.com/post/127087711395. This provide us an insight how Light activity (information, messages) is happening in our Central Nervous System during the Night of Power. 

 

Our Central Nervous System is bathed in a fluid whose base and mechanism share mutual resemblance to the Olive oil whose light is well-nigh luminous. Light is consciousness, intelligence and is a life force that can store, broadcast, transmit and carry information: light, vibration, movement, DMT and Serotonin and sends these important information to the brain simultaneously using no synapse: total sync all at once to raise our level of awareness and consciousness.

Fluids and water is the soul of all life form and they carry information in a form of light, a subtle yet highly intelligent and coherent energy. 

The cerebrospinal fluid with its luminous Light property play a fundamental role in the spiritual intelligence evolution of man. This is the brilliance of light emanating God-consciousness and Tawhid experience and information in the highest order functioning. The Central Nervous System and the brain is a conduit and a collaborator for Light upon Light and unto His Light to function and transpire in men of faith.

"Light upon Light! Ellah doth guide whom He will to His Light" Surah An Nur, 35

Once the fluid (light) reached the brain, something miraculous happened. Reality is being perceived from the Central Nervous System to the brain via light information carrying messages from Conscious Observers entangled upon its system. The Central Nervous System is engineered as a channel and an antenna through which quantum information, God-consciousness and TAWHID experience can be immediately perceived by the brain. The brain then project whatever information it received via the body's sensory system.  

"Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Ellah giveth not light, there is no light!" Surah An-Nur, 40

The Olive oil is the Central Nervous System fluid acting like a twin or copy. Everything works in the mechanism of light, and without light, life cannot function intelligently and perfectly. Light greatly influence the development of our sensory perception and higher senses.

The cerebrospinal fluid is considered by bioenergy workers to be the carrier of information and life energy that is received by the organism and is then distributed throughout the body [Still, 1902; Stone, 1987; Sutherland, 1990]. It can transmit light, vibration, molecules and coordinate movements.

In his book, The Biology of Belief, cellular biologist Dr Bruce Lipton, said that our belief system shapes our biology. The heart communicates the brain through the nervous system, hormonal system, electromagnetic fields and other energetic pathways. God-consciousness experience explodes such enormous internal communication network and affect the way you perceive TAWHID, which greatly influence how you understand Reality (Hakikat and Makrifat). 

"Ellah is Responsive, aware" Surah Al-Baqarah, 158

"He is the Subtle, the Aware" Surah Al An'aam, 6

“Listen to the sound of waves within you” Rumi

Tears is the result of such blissful experience in its totality. The emotions send TAWHID consciousness experience and messages and you can feel your emotions of bliss surging through your being-ness like a tsunami. Constant streams of such intense emotions like: love, longing, yearning and bliss is what drives you to tears. 

“Only he who bears witness to the Truth, and they know (Him)” Surah Az Zukhruf, 86

The consciousness of “there is no god but God” cycle is now made known to you within your consciousness. You cannot explain the taste of bliss you are experiencing at this stage. This is the state where saints described as, “one with God.” Its meaning is disputed in which the thinking brain says, “God and man become One,” hence stamping those who claimed this state as blasphemous. How can you understand that which you cannot perceived and never experience my dear? “One with God” means, lovers of Ellah swt is consumed, obliterated, dissolved, magnified and absorbed into a God-consciousness state that he is lost in its translation and he no longer exist save His countenance. This is the "death of self" the "die before dying" as experienced by Prophet Muhammad saw during Mi'raj. True lovers of Ellah swt sacrifice themselves for the sake of that countenance.

"By which Ellah guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path" Surah Al-Maaidah, 16

The God-consciousness state experienced by lovers of Ellah swt has driven them into another level of existence. In this mode of being, the feelings, emotion, sensory system and consciousness is overwhelmed with the taste and pleasure of TAWHID - heavenly experience: peace, love, bliss and tranquility.

“In love, nothing exists between heart and heart. Speech is born out of longing, true description from the real taste. The one who tastes, knows; the one who explains, lie” Rabia Al Basri. 

"And for this their prayer hath Ellah rewarded them with gardens, with rivers flowing underneath,- their eternal home. Such is the recompense of those who do good" Surah Al Maaidah, 85

The lovers now experienced bliss beyond measure. All you ever taste is nikmat and longing Him beyond ecstasy. You cannot explain its “taste” for it is the indescribable as much as the tongue can say and words can expressed. Because words and expression can differ in its meaning and perception. No one can explain bliss in the greatness of divine love, one has to “taste” it. 

TAWHID is the realization of the body-mind-soul-spirit immersed into a God-consciousness state within his consciousness, being-ness and sensory system. “I burn and burn” said Rumi. This is the highest degree of conviction in the subtlety of “knowing” “observing” “testifying” and “witnessing” the syahadah within his inner being: zahir and batin. Syahadah is an act of zahir and batin and one cannot outstrip the other.  

"For them will be the Home of peace with their Lord. And He will be their protecting friend because of what they used to do" Surah Al-An'aam, 127

“If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth, they would be pursuing me. For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens” Rumi 

Such ecstatic contemplation in a God-consciousness state converging into singularity, a linear duality. It is both a singularity (everything-ness) and a vacuum (nothing-ness), hence the overwhelming nothingness annihilate into everything-ness. Powerful vibrating strings of energy in divine presence (feelings overwhelmed with His presence but He cannot be seen, comprehend, fathom, perceive nor grasp) consumed the fibre of his being, he is nothing and he is everything simultaneously. It is the annihilation of self in the bliss of TAWHID. And for that matter, prophets and saints affirmed Oneness and uphold it not by taqlid but by experience and this strengthened their faith and they will never be diverted nor deflected from it even by the sword.

"And Ellah invites to the Home of peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path' Surah Yunus, 25

TAWHID experience and its information (light) you are blessed with are stored in your cellular body as a long term memory for a blissful destiny. The Nervous System which is bathed in the luminous light coordinates all activities of the body and enable it to respond to the subtlety of information from the other dimension. Eugene T. Gendlin an American philosopher called this intuitive body- feel the “felt sense”– a body’s sense of a particular experience. 

“The soul has been given its own ears to hear things mind does not understand” Rumi

Light is the conduit behind the intelligence of human beings and is aware, active, living, highly coherent, conscious and knowing. The sacredness of the human body must be preserved back to its origin since it is a channel through which one can experience Reality on the fundamental level, the reason why fasting is prescribed.

Therefore, where there is no light, there is chaos, illnesses and ignorance. And light upon light, and only by this state of entanglement can we attained His light of guidance and knowledge. Without light, life is lifeless and a struggle and we lose sense of direction.

Astrocytes (black) are star-shaped cells surrounding neurons in the brain and the Central Nervous System. They outnumber neurons 50 : 1 and are very active in the Central Nervous System.

Astrocytes, Astro means star, brilliance of light consciousness emanating in the Central Nervous System of men of faith. 

The Law of Pairs reveals to us that entanglement (light upon light) can happen between Astrocytes and their super partners from the realm of light in the Central Nervous System for His knowledge of TAWHID to be experienced in the body’s sensory system.  

Astrocytes is part of Glial Cells population. “When studying Glial Cell biology, one interesting aspect that has been largely overlooked in neural development is that brains of higher organisms are composed of mostly – nearly 90% – Glial Cells, rather than neurons; even though neurons are the key elements in Nervous System transmission of information” - Glial cells: Old cells with new twists, Ugo Ndubaku and Maria Elena de Bellard 2007, DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2007.10.003.

“A Golden Spiral superimposed on a human brain and at the zero point 

field of the spiral, there is the "pineal gland." 

The only organ in the brain that possesses its own individuality is the Pineal Gland. It is neither in the east nor in the west, neither right nor left. It is located in the middle between the two brain hemispheres. Brain structures like the hippocampus are symmetrically paired with another copy of the organ in the other hemisphere of the brain but the Pineal Gland is unpaired. 

The pineal gland is in direct contact with the cerebrospinal fluid [Welsh, et al., 1989]. 

When the cerebrospinal fluid streams light consciousness from the nervous system to the brain, it collide in the pineal gland, for light upon light mechanism to occur. A bio-electromagnetic field is generated due to the effect of extremely high power pulses that occur from the central nervous system triggered in the pineal gland. Bio-electromagnetic field is able to preserve the dynamics of the pineal gland. They act directly on water crystal in the pineal gland by orientating, vibrating, and spinning molecules to prevent them from clustering.

The pineal gland, “there is a reservoir of floating water with crystals with piezoelectric properties that expand and contract due to the presence of the electromagnetic fields.” When this happened, piezoelectric properties burst off powerful piezo-luminescence in the colours of a rainbow. It also possesses Piezo-chromism properties - the tendency to change color with the application of pressure. The Cerebrospinal Fluid releases DMT to the Pineal Gland during this collision. DMT is a molecule for mystical experience and was dubbed as “the spirit molecule” by Dr Rick Strassman, an American clinical Associate Professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, School of Medicine.  DMT was later found to be naturally occurring in the human body, found in large quantities in the cerebral spinal fluid.  

“The various physical properties such as piezoelectricity, piezo-luminescence, electro-magnetic field, solar flare, infrared energy are also explained and correlated with the structural and secretional components of the gland - Pineal gland: A structural and functional enigma” - Ashok Sahaia (a), Raj Kumari Sahai (b).

5.    "whose oil is well-nigh luminous though fire scarce touched it"

What transpire in the Pineal Gland during its collision with Light from the Central Nervous System can be understood by pondering Surah Ar Rahman, 37 to understand the meaning of the above Surah An Nur, 35.

"When the sky is rent asunder, and becomes a crimson Rose-like melted oil" Surah Ar-Rahman, 37

Rosette Nebula

The nebula's similar appearance to a Rose has earned it the name Rosette (sometimes Rosetta) nebula. However, from a different angle it resembles a skull, leading to some also calling it the "Skull nebula" - Wikipedia.

The colour of a Rose is Red, which is the colour of the Rosette nebula and Red is the colour of Fire.

Surah Ar Rahman 37, reveals the manifestation effect when two quantum system collide and split – revealing a magical quantum after-effect and a never seen before universe in our Pineal Gland after its collision with the cerebrospinal fluid, as a mirror image.

When two quantum system are entangled (the cerebrospinal fluid - luminous light - collision with the Pineal Gland), it split and releases energy far greater than an atomic bomb. 

"And everything with Him is measured" Surah Ar-Ra'd, 8

"And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure" Surah Ar-Rahman, 7

“All physical matter have mathematical beauty” Paul Dirac

The diffusion equation of 37 i.e Surah Ar Rahman, 37 is ----- 3 + 7 = 10 : 1/0 reveals an undefined state. When Conscious Observers in the realm of light (antimatter) in the Central Nervous System meets matter (Pineal Gland) they annihilate and the intensity of their collision releases more undefined particles. The Red-like ointment after the split in Surah Ar Rahman, 37 is revealing to us that there are particles beyond the Standard Model in the Rosette Nebula in which the Pineal Gland share mutual resemblance after the collision and split when Conscious Observers from the realm of light take effect upon its system - supersymmetry. Supersymmetry describes that every particle in the Standard Model has a super partner with a different mass.   

“The universe is inside us” Rumi

“Surely, we have revealed to you the Night of Power, and what will make you comprehend what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. The Angels and the Spirit descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair. Peace! It is till the break of the morning” Surah Al Qadr, 1 - 5

Science found that when matter and antimatter collide, the magnetic field turned into a special type of superconductor to coordinate their mass and spins concurrently so that information flow is unimpeded. 

When matter (the human body) and antimatter (superpartners in the realm of light) collide, they can generate powerful forces. This is what transpire in the human body, when powered by Quantum Mechanics, can generate the same quantum effect as the stars and its fundamental forces. This is what happen to the soul on the night of Lailatul’Qadr, a nikmat so enormous and incredible that men of faith wishes Ramadhan never ends. It is the Night which is worth more than a thousand months to the effect of a thousand blazing sun - bliss beyond bliss.

"From changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not" Surah Al Waaqi'ah, 61

“Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion” Surah Al-A'la, 2

"No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him. Then let mankind look at his food - how We administered it" Surah Abasa, 23 - 24

“Praise be Ellah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light” Surah Al-An'aam, 1

 

The discovery of Quantum Theory, a strange yet astonishing branch of science, tells us about the possibilities of perplexing relationship between matter and energy. All matter is, organized energy. Realized it or not, we are all encompassed by energy and matter. Matter is dependable on light, without light, matter is in total darkness. 

“Darkness” because it doesn't give off or interact with light — including through scattering. Light is the unfolding of intelligent information guidance interacting with itself in matter. The interaction of light determines the shape and the size of matter through the mechanism of emission, absorption and transmission/scattering. 

Observation into how light unfolds and interact itself in matter, and how light and matter are dependant on one another, one can begin to understand life’s bigger picture: the purpose of existence, who we are and where we are going to. 

CLOSING

“And We have honoured the sons of Adam” Surah Al Israa’ 70

"So fear Ellah. For it is God that teaches you. And Ellah is All Knowing" Surah Al Baqarah, 282

Ellah swt have indeed honoured us and due to His immense love for us He created everything else. The soul of man is Light. Light is separated from matter in the realm of the lower world, hence the chaos and sufferings. Light is consciousness and consciousness possesses the ability to tap into Quantum Mechanics and alter the nature of matter and its energy. This is so because of the Free Will that was given to man. 

"Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Ellah while doing good, his reward is with his Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve" Surah Al-Baqarah, 112

"Surrender your Will to His Will" Rumi

"The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Ellah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him)" Surah Al-Baqarah, 132

Light illuminates the many questions regarding the nature of the soul and its conscious awareness. Light also presents a unique interpretation of the relationship between creation and the Creator in which when matter and light becomes unified whole, dualism ceases and all that remains is His light: His power, His intelligence, His knowledge, His desire-intent-purpose-Will. Matter is the impressive cause from the effects of Light, without Light matter is null and void. Light is the sole governing agency of all flawless matter.

According to Max Planck, a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918, he regarded consciousness as fundamental and that matter is a derivative of consciousness. What matter does with the energy of light depends on what kind of light it is emitting, absorbing and transmitting.

We fast every year for years not knowing its massive significance that is engineered within our own subtle body. This is the hidden secret that lies in the Night of Power, a reward from our Lord Most High for the soul to transcend to the highest pinnacle of light: the Star of a Piercing Brightness, to resolve into a Blackhole. Therefore, the human life cycle is complete, back to Origin, to the realm of Light. 

This stuff we are made of is a reality so gigantic and supermassive, even Quantum Physicist can’t handle. These are the invisible forces, showing the exquisite and intelligent scheme and plan of Ellah swt who designed and engineered nature and the universe as a reflection of a quantum level order of the human body and soul of men of faith. This is our great universe which is our kingdom within which starts off with “light put together” properties waiting to unfold God-power and God-intelligence for us to function as caliphs, the “Rahmatan lil’alamin” cause-effect - Nur Muhammad - which literally mean : Muhammad has no power over himself but is moved by His power, His intelligence and His guidance - "It was not you ˹believers˺ who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ˹O Prophet˺ who threw ˹a handful of sand at the disbelievers˺, but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing  - Surah Al Anfaal : 17.

6.     "Lit from a blessed Tree"

Credit and further readings:  https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/meet-rosehip-neuron-newest-cell-human-brain-180970152/

"And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect" Surah Al Jaathiyah, 13

There is a Rosette Nebula in the universe and there is a Rose-hip neuron in our brain revealing to us that the same quantum mechanical processes that is happening in the universe is happening within our own soul.

"Fasting for a fixed number of days. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period" Surah Al Baqarah, 184 - 185

"We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed (the period) with ten (more): thus was completed the term (of communion) with his Lord, forty nights" Surah Al A'raaf, 142

"And remember, We appointed 40 nights for Moses" Surah Al Baqarah, 51

Therefore, I must say that we should observe fasting for the prescribed period of 30 days + 10 days thereafter, which amounts to 40 days. According to science, if you perform amal for 40 days with spiritual faith, one nerve cell has the ability to grow 70,000 wings or dendrites. 

This is what Surah An Nur 35 literally mean, "the glass as it were a brilliant star lit by a blessed Tree." Dendrites in Greek means "Tree." The brain will lit up its luminousity like a brilliant star like the Rossette Nebula brilliance with its quantum mechanical properties at play. 

Please read my article on Israa' Mi'raj to understand further the dendrites dynamics and its ability to absorb reality from the other dimension. 

That is the reason why the Night of Power (Laylatul'Qadr) is better than a thousand months. 

"Ellah has set a measure for everything" Surah Al Talaq, 3

"There is no one among us who does not have a known station" Surah As-Saffat, 164

Rumi translate Laylatul'Qadr as "the self that has been sold!" In Sufism/Tassawuf, the meaning of Layl is "unlettered" which literally mean, from unlettered to God-intelligence - according to His Qadr.

NOTES TO PONDER:

“Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of deceit” Albert Einstein

Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian Nobel prize-winning physicist and quantum pioneer, in his famous book, What is Life?, suggested that, it is inherent to base all aspects of biology on the precedent and systematic world of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger believed there was something exceptional about life and suggested that living beings could somehow enter the quantum realm and use its strange properties to influence the incredible system within living cells. Schrödinger suggested that life was based on a unique corporeal principle whereby its macroscopic order is a reflection of a quantum-level order. 

Exchange of quantum information between particles in matter and messenger particles in the realm of light can happen in our cells and molecules. However, destructive wave interference generated by our negative positive nature is a veil that imprisoned our cells and molecules to entangled into the marvel order of Light upon Light construct, to enable us to receive His impeccable work plan for higher functioning purpose, an information already stored at the sub-atomic level (Lauh Mahfuz) for humans to carry His work on earth as caliphs for a great destiny and governance. 

The framework of the body-soul, like nature, is closely linked with the origin of the Wave Mechanics. Richard Feynman wrote, speaking of the Conservation of Energy, “nature has a hidden accountant who keeps honest books of energy input and output but we don't know how she does it.” Lack of knowledge of energy transfer between messenger particles in the spiritual and cells in the human body is a major problem in understanding how life works on the fundamental level. 

Even physicists are baffled by Quantum Mechanics and they have no idea as to what and why the quantum world behave in such a bizarre manner. “I think I can safely say that nobody really understands quantum mechanics” said Richard Feynman, physicist and a Nobel laureate. 

I must say that end of the day, you need the Holy Quran to understand and confront the lack of understanding of it, since Quantum Mechanics is known for its reputation to be mysterious, weird, eerie and bizarre. The saddest part is that, physicist and great minds alike seems to not mind for not understanding the most fundamental theory they are scrutinizing. They did not even realized that their brains are entangled to a larger reality to manifest knowledge the use of Quantum Mechanics that are endorsed to a remarkable accuracy.  

We are living in a mysterious world that is implausible, celestial and peculiarly systematized where forces of antimatter (messenger particles in the spiritual realm) unified as high energy can take effect in the human body that is as excitingly astounding as it is unpredictably interesting. 

The Privileged Lovers

The moon has become a dancer at this festival of love.

This dance of light,

This sacred blessing,

This divine love,

beckons us to a world beyond

only lovers can see with their eyes of fiery passion.

They are the chosen ones who have surrendered.

Once they were particles of light now they are the radiant sun.

They have left behind the world of deceitful games.

They are the privileged lovers who create a new world

with their eyes of fiery passion.

~ Rumi ~
