`Soulstorm`

(The following introduction is purely my own assumptions based on books written about the mystical side of life. The only manner I can witness these potential truths is through an intuitive thought/feeling/ process and a self-reliant assumption of the material via experience. And as Jesus Christ has said, "The Truth shall set you free" ).
 
 
 
INTRODUCTION
 
In the holy house of Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi [1]or ash-shaikh al-Akbar (1165-1240), a 12th century Sufi Spanish mystic is known to be (the most magnanimously of spiritual guides). Seemingly, as time goes by, 'Arabi's journey brings East and West in union regarding the "governance of the human kingdom" [2] through the mystic.  The  greatest of humanity's freedom evolves right through the gate of the mystical world.  Each human-being possesses this greatness. Each human-being possesses this world to guide the people in their action of the jurisprudence of the soul. But only the wise will know how to discover treasures from within to combat ignorance and corruption. We know that men have more enemies than friends. People who are living life in darkness do not know the light, they simply wish to remain in an arrogant darkness. 'Arabi's expressions and divine ponderings of a special intuitive insight have not been understood by those living in a narcissistic domain of darkness, and for those people life simply goes on as is. But there does remain a better way through the life of someone who clearly sees from a much deeper level, the mystical side of humanity, and of the soul.
 
 
The soul is the most powerful force upon the earth. It can heal or present darkness to the occupant just as a light switch in a modern-day home. The soul always works in conjunction with the mind and heart. It can be tranquil and peaceful when the owner's thoughts and feelings are tranquil. Or it can be living in darkness creating havoc among people through any/all occasions. It can create peace through love, or it can kill or maim another human man in the swing-flash of the sword. The complexity of humanity presents a recurring theme between love and hate, peace, and war, or good versus evil. We complicate the matter with questionable doubts.
 
 
Sufism renders the heart and soul deriving from the mystery of the beatified woman who will lead us to the divine kingdom, and to Paradise, the moral compendium of wisdom shines through more from the intuitive wisdom of the woman as she humbly accepts.  The author's theory is the woman's guilt from the Garden and subsequent outcome leaves her heart saddened for her decision made from the beginning.  She apologetically transforms to a woman of wisdom. True feminism is liberating for everyone. One must be able to listen and obey. Women are great leaders, whereas so many men never listen to the intuitive and divine wisdom of the divine gift of feminine power. Feminine power fueled by the Mother's nurturing heart and this new sound of wisdom collaborates deeply within the heart and soul rendering wise and careful decisions. One may wonder why wisdom is referred to in the Bible as "she". For me it is obvious. Henceforth, women offer humanity a second chance to fulfill God's purpose for peace to ripen then mature and grow into the divine photosynthesis of a beautiful rose. Love and beauty once more covers the face of the earth followed by the peace and tranquility that humanity declares it searches for.
 
 
Peace & Blessings for "My Heart is with You, and My Soul is with You, always, each day."
