THE LAW OF LOVE

Say: O friend! Sleep with your face turned to the Friend, and rest in bed in the thought of the loved One. From flowers inhale the fragrance of the beloved One, and in every fire see the light of the desired One. I swear by the life of the Friend, that if thou smellest the garment of Joseph and enterest the Egypt of the love of God, thou wilt become the mother of all the chosen ones! Then exert thyself in love with thy soul and enter the abode of the beloved One with thy heart. Abandon grief for the world to its people and give no heed to the limited days of this world; be seated on the immortal, everlasting throne, be clad in a divine raiment, drink the wine of love from the cup of the beloved One, become ablaze with the light of love, and sew the robe of love! This is that matter which shall never change! Know thou, therefore, that in every age and dispensation all Divine Ordinances are changed and transformed according to the requirements of the time, except the law of love, which, like unto a fountain, flows always and is never overtaken by change. This is of the wonderful mysteries which God has mentioned for His servants! Verily, He is the merciful, the compassionate!

Immune System Can Be Controlled by Thought

Movies about psychics often show how they whisper a spell over a bleeding wound, and it skins over; or how they look closely at a terminally ill person, and he immediately gets better. Physicians call such healers charlatans. However, recent studies have shown that some aspects of immunity indeed can be controlled by thought. In particular, our brain is able to influence the intensity of the allergic reaction. Such a fantastic conclusion was made by researchers from the University of South Australia. In an experiment, several healthy volunteers were injected with histamine, which is produced in large quantities by our immune system in the case of allergic attacks. Histamine was injected in the arms of the volunteers, but the experiment was organized in such a way that they thought that the drug was injected in a rubber doll. At the same time, a real injection was made in their other arm. Then the scientists compared the size of the allergic response on both arms of the participants, as well as the one of the control group that had no illusion.

It turned out that when the volunteers thought that the histamine injection had been made to the doll, the effect of histamine on the arm that had been replaced by the rubber one was much stronger. It looked as if the brain ceased to follow the immune system because of the made injection. The illusion also provoked a decrease in blood flow and temperature in the allegedly replaced arm. “Such a finding is particularly relevant to the immune system because a primary role of the immune system is to discriminate self from non-self,” said Prof Lorimer Moseley, who led the study. “In this instance, the innate immune system is being up regulated in a manner consistent with rejection of the replaced hand.” “These findings strengthen the argument that the brain exerts some kind of control over specific body parts according to how strongly we own them,” he says. So, it could mean that in many ways the immune system is influenced by the consciousness.

This discovery could also shed light on autoimmune diseases such as schizophrenia, stroke, autism, epilepsy, anorexia and bulimia, which are associated with a distorted sense of ownership over a patient’s body and in which the immune system ‘attacks’ the body.

Divine Essence

Each of these stations or levels has its own means of perceiving and knowing, and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá presents a fully developed epistemology of the manifestations of God.^[144] He says that the bodily station of the theophanies perceives things to the degree that it is possible to do so in the physical world.^[145] This physical component of the manifestations of God demonstrates weakness and inability in many situations, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá affirms, and he points out that Bahá’u’lláh refers to it as a condition of “sleep” compared to the “waking” state of the higher perceptions. Manifestations of God are, therefore, not supermen on the physical plane. As in other human beings, their bodies are the seats of the animal spirit, with its faculties of sense-perception,^[146] faculties apparently not better developed in manifestations than in other human beings.

The manifestations of God also share in the station of the human soul, with its faculties of intellective cognition or theoretical knowledge, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá explains. They thus have minds, like other human beings, and undergo learning processes.^[147] ‘Abdu’l-Bahá mentions two modes of knowledge generally available to ordinary humans. The first is sense-perception, whereby an external form is reflected in the “heart,” and this is due to the sensitive faculties of the animal spirit. The second kind of ordinary knowledge is conceptualization or imagination (tasavvur), wherein the human mind generates within itself the conception of an object. As both of these sorts of knowledge depend upon forms (sing. surah), these are together termed “formal knowledge” (‘ilm-i suri).^[148]

While the manifestation of God shares with other human beings in these basic faculties, he has an extra dimension, a further means of knowledge transcending that of the ordinary human being. This knowledge is termed “existential knowledge” (‘ilm-i vujudi) by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. This knowledge has the properties of being immediate and unmediated, and of being innate and unacquired.^[149] ‘Abdu’l-Bahá likens it to the knowledge a man has of his own self. Just as he knows he is sad without recourse to external sense-perception. being immediately aware of his condition, so the manifestation of God existentially perceives the world as a whole. He describes this existential knowledge as a holy emanation (fayd) upon the manifestation’s human soul from the Universal Intellect. This knowledge informs the manifestations of God of the realities of things, and they are able through this knowledge to found systems of religious law which are appropriate to the conditions of society.^[150] Their knowledge in this respect is of the necessary connections which relate all entities in the world, and their laws are aimed at regulating and balancing this world-system. This knowledge is the sole property of the Universal Intellect, which emanates it upon the human rational soul of the manifestation of God.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá goes on to provide an even more detailed analysis of the workings of the Universal Intellect. He says that the divine Universal Intellect, which is metaphysical, is a preexistent faculty. It is the Universal Intellect which encompasses existing realities and receives the divine lights and mysteries. This is a cognitive faculty, not a perceptive, sensing faculty. He adds that the spiritual faculties of the world of nature are perceptive faculties: through sense-perception they discover the realities of beings and the properties of existing things. He teaches that the heavenly intellective Faculty, which is metaphysical, encompasses. cognizes and comprehends things, and is aware of secrets, realities, and divine meanings. It discovers hidden, heavenly realities. This divine intellective Faculty is reserved for the holy Manifestations and the Fountainheads of Prophethood.^[151] He also says that a ray from the “lights” emanated by the human manifestations of God illumines the hearts of the righteous, who thus share to some extent in this faculty of pure cognition through the mediation of the manifestations.

Introduction to Meaning and Uses of Black Tourmaline

Today this stone is still revered as protection from negative energies. It guards against radiation and environmental pollutants, and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one’s own negative thoughts and internal conflicts, and turning them into positive, usable energy. [Eason, 204][Raphaell, 132][Ahsian, 407]

Black Tourmaline is also a powerful grounding stone, electrical in nature, providing a connection between Earth and the human spirit. Its supportive energy aligns the energy centers of the body and channels healing light throughout the system. It promotes a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a clearer, more objective view of the world. It is empowering to those who must live or work in challenging environments or when facing difficult circumstances. [Eason, 204][Simmons, 406][Raphaell, 132][Hall, 298]
