In Your Name all good words ascend Majaz (The Corridor, The Metaphor) http://www.untiredwithloving.org/majaz.html
Majaz is a core linguistic concept in the language of the Arab and a fundamental construct of all Divine Words e.g. the Dhikr. Without the Majaz much of the truth of the Dhikr is lost and much of its impact is perished. The linguistics concepts are elucidated in great details by Sheikh Suyuti and Sheikh Khatib Qazwini. It is the corridor for all Divine Words tunneling through the barrier (Barzakh) that separates the sempiternity from the temporal transience of here. Upon the tunneling through Barzakh an incessant reflection forms an image within our Aql (Intellect) that of `I'. The concept of the Ibn Arabi's law of "manifestation upon a mirror" is explored alongside the stunning Shat-h (Terse Sufi communication) of Sheikh Baqli. The latter introduces two mirrors: 1. The Mirror of Quds (Sanctification) that reflects all that which is not Allah and the reflected image is formed within our Aql (Intellect) as the potentialities and probabilities. 2. The Mirror of Huwiyah (Who ness) which forms a concept within our Aql (Intellect) that of: Who am I? Ibn Arabi's mirror law explains to us why we recognize our faces in a mirror as our own Self and why we know we are talking to Allah and our invocation is not someone else's. Finally the corporeal transport for the Majaz is introduced and it is none other than our intercellular waters! The explanation for the 11:7 referring to Allah's Arsh (Divine Throne) was upon water is elucidated. Number of technical papers are researched to show the viability of the proton transport of the water, and the proton translocation within the Bacteriorhodopsin. Is the process of communicating to the other world, the reverse process of our visual seeing? Both vis-à-vis the deeply buried, evolutionary conserved, intercellular waters! --DARA The Eyeless Lion
