HIDDENPOLYTHEISM I think one of the subjects that is not clear is that one I mentioned in the topic. Should we not consider the hidden polytheism (shirk khaafi)aspolytheismitself?

Ifsomeoneprovideduswithsomeblessing,andifwedidnotappreciatethisblessing,becomegratefulofitandbehaveinthewayorin thesenseofdenyingit,wecandescribeitasingratitude.

What Professor McFadden and, the New Zealandbased neurobiologist Sue Pockett, have proposed, is that the brain`s em field is consciousness. Thebrain`selectromagneticfieldisnotjustaninformationsink;itcaninfluenceouractions,pushingsomeneuronstowardsfiringand others away from firing, works just like a command control center. This influence, Professor McFadden proposes, is the physical manifestationofourconsciouswill.

Mostpeopleconsider`mind`tobealltheconsciousthingsthatweareawareof.Butmuch,mentalactivitygoesonwithoutawareness. Actionslikewalking,changinggearinyourcar,etc,canbecomeasautomaticasbreathing. The biggest puzzle in neuroscience is how the brain activity that we`re aware of differs from the brain activity driving all of those unconsciousactions.

WHATISSALAAT(PRAYERS)FOR Wehavebeenreferredtoashumans... Indeed,whatkindofabeingisreferredtoashuman? I am not going to get into the details of this issue now as I have already discussed about it in my books Know Yourself and The PurificationofConsciousness.[i] InthisarticleIwouldliketosharesomepointswithyouaboutthedevotionknownasSalaat(dailyprayer),whichwasrecommendedto humansparticularly,astowhatitisforandwhyitisobligatory.

I will try to discuss about it as to what a simple person like me may at least experience throughout Salaat, without going so far as to mentiontheexperiencesoftheelectortheelectoftheelectinSalaat. Weshouldfirstofallrememberthat... Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him) has put an end to the understanding of religion based on a sky god (heavenly god) and communicatedthebasicsofbeliefintheonereferredtoasAllah,aswellashowtowitnesswhatisbelievedandhowtobelieveinthe Rasulthatproclaimedallthese. IfweareabletocomprehendwhatHazratMohammed(peacebeuponhim)hasbrought,wemayalsorealizethatnoneofthespiritual practices known as the prayers (ibadat) including Salaat, that is performed every day, have never been suggested to worship or find favorintheeyesofaskygodupthere,simplybecausethereisnogodatall.

ItsreasonisthatweshouldrememberfirstthemagnificenceandlimitlessnessoftheonereferredtoasAllah,andalsoconsiderwhatthe world and other values could mean beside it.

Why? Because Bismillah encloses the mystery of B within and every person needs to read and experience Bismillah for himself dependingonthemysterywhichexistswithinhimself. Salaat (daily regular prayers) can only be fulfilled by reading the Fatiha (the Opening) and therefore the Rasul of Allah stated that salaatisimpossiblewithoutFatiha.

THEKEY WhatisthemostimportantkeytounderstandtheonenamedasAllah,theuniversalsystemdefinedastheReligionofIslamaswell astheanswerstothequestionswhoandwhatamI? Whyaresomedeviationsinquestionaboutthesesubjects? Whydowegetstuckonsomewhereaboutitandfailtoseetheholisticpictureofthematter? WhycanwenotassesstheKoranthoroughly,andcontemplatethematterwithallitsclarity? These are definitely the problems of thinking minds! There is no such problem for those who live without questioning and simply by followingwhattheyaretold. We need to realize the following two points of fact very clearly in order to properly understand the statements declared by Hadhrat MohammadaswellastorealizethevalueofandappreciatetheclarificationstheKoraninforms: 1.Theuniversaldimensionofthesystemthatwearetold, 2.Thepersonaldimensionofthesystemthatwearetold. TwokindsofcontemplationsarementionedinSufism,whichisanendeavorofthinkingdeep,feelingandexperiencingthesesubjects: 1.Subjectivecontemplation(sayriafaqilookingoutward)whichistherealizationofouteruniversaltruths, 2.Objectivecontemplation(sayrianfusilookingwithin)whichistherealizationofinnerpersonaltruths. Thefirstofthesetwocontemplationsistheprocessofrecognizingtheuniversalsystemandtheorder,thattheOnenamedasAllah createdwithinHusknowledge(ilm).Itiscalledassubjectivecontemplation. Thesecondoneisthepracticesofapersontounderstandhisowntruth(haqiqat),histrueself(nafs). The Koran, in its many verses, explains and emphasizes the necessary truths to be realized with regard to both objective and subjectivecontemplation. If the person restricts himself to only one side of those verses in his understanding, and denies himself of the other meanings, he experiencesadeviationinmindinthatway. Whydoesithappenso? Because,asaresultofamisunderstanding,theKoranwillbetakenasifitisacommandbookofaGodfromaboveinsteadofitbeing the bookwhich explains the universalsystem (SunnatAllah) anditscreator! Itis therefore thatallthe Sufi mastersof all times tried to explainpeoplethatthisisnotthewayitisandtheytriedtomakepeoplerealizeit. WehavetriedtodiscussaboutwhattheOnenamedasAllahisinourbookentitledMohammadsAllah,asneverbeendiscussedso far.

ThetruththatHadhratMohammadMustafahasexplainedandtriedtomakeusrealizeiswhattheOnenamedasAllahis,aswellasthe nonexistenceofagodoraconceptofgod.ThisiswhattheKorantellsandexplains! Therefore, despite the criticism of those unqualified to READ what we have written, we, often by saying Hus name is Allah, keep writing all the time that Allah is only a name, a noun, and drawing the picture of that name should be avoided; it is needed to be understoodwhatisindicatedwiththatname. Yes Theessence(zhat)oftheuniversestandsupontheessenceoftheOne,theSelfSubsisting(Qayyum). But,universeisnotagod! TheEssenceofhuman,standsupontheEssenceoftheOne,theSelfSubsisting(Qayyum).

All my workings on this subject since then always involved questioning. What? Why? How? First, I started by reading the Koran interpretationentitledReligionofTruthbyHamdiYazirofElmali;next,IcontinuedwithSahihiBukhari,andnextIreadtheotherbooks on hadithes. At the beginning of the year 1964, I have met with Syed Othman Effendi of Madinah and I have learned many forms of spiritualpracticeswhichareduas,zhikrsandetc.andIhavealwayspracticedthemsince. Then,IstudiedSufi(tasawwuf)masterpieces. On this subject, I studied every Sufi master from Abdulkadir Geylani to Muhyiddin Arabi, from Ahmed Rufai to Abdulkarin Jili, and I benefitedfromtheirthoughts,ideasandviewpoints.ItriedoutmanyoftheirpracticesonmyselfasmuchasIcould.Then,in1965afterI returnedfromHajj(pilgrimagetoMecca),IwrotethefirstBookofPrayers,basedonmyknowledgeatthattime.

During this time, the significance of Allahs name Mureed, which is the name of the attribute of Will, was opened to me to comprehend. I realized that the root of peoples weaknesses was due to the attribute of Will not being manifest through the brain as intense as needed,andthatthislackofintensitycouldberemediedbyheavilyrecitingthewordMureedinthemind.Theactofrepeatedlyreciting wordsinthemindfirstchangesthebrainsbiochemistryandthenaffectsitsbioelectricity.Intheend,thispracticehasaneffectonthe soulaccordingtomyfindings.ThelateGazalalsomentionedtheimportanceofthenameMureedinhisbooks.

The weaker is to be annihilated in the system.Therefore,thereisnoplaceforfeelings,humanisticjudgmentsandassessments.Feelingsorryforanotherorbeingfeltsorry for, do not have an affect on the way that the System operates.

GOD`SGIFTDESCENDINGFROMTHESKY(!) Within the religious understanding based on the concept of God, there is an image of a special night called the night of the Qadr (laylatulqadr)whichisasfollows: GodAlmightypreparesa specialgiftforafew of itsselectservants on Earthwho worshipHim the most. This greatdivinegiftis called Qadr(spiritualpower,credit,blessing). Theangelsbringing(!)thatblessingarriveattheregionwhereMuslimslive,ataholynightwhentheminaretsareilluminatedbecause theseangelsgobadwhentheyareexposedtosunlight,justlikevitaminC! This Qadr, which has never seen sunlight, is something more beneficial than one thousand months, that is, eighty three years of worshiping. Every year, on the 27th of the month of Ramadan, with the order of God Almighty, the angels, taking the Spirit also with them, head towardstheplanetEarth.Theytravelthousandsofyearsofdistanceflappingtheirwingsandwithaswiftrun.Whentheylandontheir destination on earth at that night, they begin investigating the people who are busy worshiping, one by one going from one house to another. Meanwhile,thepeoplelivingonthesideofEarthwithsunlight,ofcoursegetnothing! Iftheangelsfindsomeoneworshipingsincerelyandmatchingthelistofconditionstheyhaveathand,theyimmediatelyaskGod:Shall wegivethisonetheQadr?IfGodallowsit,theygivethegiftcalledasQadrtothatindividualwithoutdelay.Thesearchingofeachhome andthedistributionoftheQadrinthismannercontinuesuntilsunrise.

Inthemeantime,believerstravelfromonemosquetoanotherentertainingtheirchancetofindthegiftofQadrinoneofthosemosques. The following is how the night of Qadr is deciphered by the spiritual masters (ahlullah the people of Allah) as seen from the understandingofReligion(theDeen)basedontheRasulofAllahMohammedMustafa(peacebeuponhim). (TheSurahQadrasseenonitsEnglishtranslations:Wehaveindeeddescended(revealed)ItintheNightofQadr.Andwhatwillexplainto youwhattheNightofPoweris?TheNightofPowerisbeneficialthanathousandmonths.TheangelsandtheSpiritdescendtherein,by thepermissionoftheirLord,withalldecrees.Peaceuntiltherisingofthedawn.)

MASTERSPIRITOFTHEAGE(MUJADDIDTHERENOVATOR) SomeoftheMuslimswiththeirnarrow,shallowandconditionalunderstanding,whofailtocomprehendtheconceptofRELIGIONbecause ofassumingthatitisallabout"God`sInstructions",arenotawareofwhattheMasterSpiritoftheAge[MujaddidtheReviver,Refresher of the Religious understanding at his time] has been achieving while they are wasting their lives in the antique shanty houses at the outskirtsoftheirworldofthought. Before starting with our main topic, I would like to write about the role of such a Renovator Master Spirit briefly according to my understanding,ifyouallowme. TheMasterSpiritofourAgewhostartedhismissionbetween14001410AnnoHegirea[intheMuslimcalendar],hasusheredtheeraofa greatuniquerenovationineveryfieldsincethen(accordingtothewritingsofoldSufiMastersImamRabbani,SaidNursiorKushadali).

"MOHAMMEDAN" understanding is, after all, sharing whatever one possesses with humans without concern of anything in return. Withoutturningaprofitonwhatonehas. So, the ones who try to spread the Mohammedan understanding in the world and create the awareness of this truth, start sharing unconditionallythevaluestheyhave,regardlessofwhateverbelieftheyhaveacceptedbeforeandwherevertheyliveintheworld.

Another type of faith that is not yet known in Turkey but is currently spreading in America is the teachings of Falun Dafa known in traditional Chinese culture and it has more than 100 million followers all over the world.

Therefore,itspractitioners areunderclose surveillanceandwhenevertheyarecaptured,theyaretorturedtodeath.Fromourpointofview,attherootofalltheseincidents,the informationalleadofworldinvisiblesplaysquiteanimportantrole. The concept of Jewish mysticism known as Cabbala, which constitutes the intellectual profundity of the understanding of RELIGION taughtbyHadhratMoses,however,hasmadeitquitecleartoallofitsfollowers,beyondtheunderstandingoftribalismandformalismin theouterworld,thatthewholeexistenceissingularandthespiritofthewholemankindoriginatefromonesinglespirit. In point of fact, what Jesus Christ articulated (put into words), characterized and lived was nothing other than the realization of this singularityandhencerejectingagodoutthereowingtothisunderstanding!ThedefinitionwhichsuggestedthatMyfatheristheLord, did not in fact refer to a physical godson relation; it was rather pointing to the perception of individual spirits formed under a single SPIRIT mentioned in Cabbala teaching.

It says, the concept of divinity does not exist at all, there exists only one excellence and that is the being named as ALLAH.
