Divine names

As humanity has evolved on the path of spirituality, various aspects and attributes of the deity was detected. Climbing higher on the scale of the Saint, man discovered other facets of Allah, or whatever we may call the Absolute. Gradually, the hidden Isis unveiled and is still revealing its beauty – naked truth. This revelation is an ongoing process for humanity will not cease to strive for enlightenment be assuaged with the crumbs or the milk of the Word.

itself the discovery, man has found God, and he grew in self-consciousness, the more he discovers the treasures, the non-awake in the various divine essence. Thus, the different names of God came to existence. Primitive cultures have referred to the invisible intelligence with a unique name, but as they grew in maturity, in consciousness wisdom and understanding, while they were held to their own innate divinity, more attributes were realized and the names were awarded the God they worship, for man naturally felt that he had awakened the virtues are possessed by full perfection by the source of everything. The amount of God grows as names of the man develops his Spirit of awareness.

What man formally understood broadly, he began to see the details, the minor radii of the one light, and these details, he can then discover to better differentiate itself ad infinitum. These divine rays or virtues of Allah were personified by the old man from inaugurating the stadium Phase animistic polytheism. Almost all ancient cultures had their pantheons of gods and goddesses, or outside of the inherent and a little sleep spectrum of divine virtues, hidden in the man. Although man is created in the image of God, possessing the seeds of divinity, it still reflects poorly the divine attributes and aspects of its creator, and mankind still needs to grow in God's image and achieve its own embellishment, the acquisition of the state of perfection, the evolutionary stage called "Insan Kamil," or "Perfect man".

Polytheism is not merely a concept or false. Human beings become perfect and get the status of God as spoken through the prophets "You are (intrinsically) gods!" An adept on the spiritual path could be a divine virtue a predominant part of his speech that the mode embodiment of the attribute causes the follower to be universally recognized as a god of celestially divine ray itself. Thus, we Venus, the goddess of love, Kwan Yin, Goddess of Mercy, Thoth, the god of wisdom, etc. The gods are incarnations of the ideal and practice various esoteric hypothesis revolves around the shapes and characteristics of gods and goddesses, to accelerate divinity the magician and produce occult effects. The gods, however, do him allegiance to Allah, the essence recognition and understanding about what is known to the mortal mind.

In Islam, and al-Hikmah, in general, human figures are not authorized to represent God or the divine attributes, because they are regarded as sacrilegious. Even the portrait of the Prophet was not recorded for posterity. This was to avoid making a cult around the personality of the messenger as has been done, unfortunately, with the master of Pisces.

One teachings of Islam is that angels do not descend into houses filled with dogs and pictures. While the fundamentalists may adhere to the rule of the letter, esoteric, it is the unbridled desire and the idols of the mind. The divine light of the Holy Spirit has trouble entering man the crown chakra psychic blocked with toxins generated by the unclean spirit and emotions. This esoteric interpretation of Christ knocking at the door and wait for the entry. Whoever does purify causes the portal to remain prohibited.

It is an interesting account on images: in the early days of the promulgation of Islam by the walis or saints in Indonesia, the Islamic leaders encountered a problem indigenous people of Java were fond of the puppet shadow theater plays. These puppets were in the shape of human figures. Under Islamic law as the icons of the man were not allowed to be represented, they tried to ban this traditional festival, but feared causing a noise accordingly. One of Walis known as Sunan Kalijaga, intervened, however. His keen mind saw the potential of playing a media to convey the moral teachings of Islam and suggested that the Council of 9 "Saints" to allow the continuation of the practice. To comply with the teachings Islam, he suggested that the figures of man be caricatured puppets. So distorted images of the shadow-puppet created. Samples of these can be found anywhere on our site.

The Divine Names in Islam that have traditionally been sent We are 99 in number, the word "Allah" rounds the number to 100. The "beautiful Divine Names" is probably the development of the 72 divine names of the Schemhamphoras, 10 names of God Qaballistic Tree of Life, and many other names of God is found in the Jewish Scriptures. The Muslim scholars can debate about the legitimacy of the 99 names as a whole, if they are a revelation of God and a true teachings of the Prophet, or if they are simply invented by man, but as occultists, this is not the import. The names are archetypes and can be experienced as realities within the recesses of his psyche.

Each letter of the Arabic alphabet has a numerological value and is said to be associated with khodam, or angelic agents. The letters are incarnations or are representative of cosmic energies. The combined letters forming the Divine Names are in turn associated khodam spirit or classes of the angelic hierarchy. With numeric values, the combined letters of the Divine Names represent metaphysical structures mathematically based on who has esoteric meanings. Practitioners normally sing the names, the number of times in agreement with its total value. The numerical value a name resonates with the power he represents. So sang the value of a name or its mathematical expression derived therefrom, invokes the power, grace and virtues named in the consciousness of the magician. The figures in the table below, extracted from old manuscripts, is the result of a single numerological method of calculating the value of names. The Arabic letters, not the Latin, have been used as the basis for this calculation, the different procurement methods the value of a name is not given here because they are related to the transmission initiation.

The khodam familiar engaged in divine names can actually constitute a class rathers angelic than judging specific individual minds vague statements of certain Islamic authors. Various lists assign different angels divine names, however, most of them are probably due to variations in the pronunciation / spelling of names angelic. According to our compilation from the list below, angels are associated with more than a divine name: thus, for example, we have "Athfayail as the guardian of Al-Ash and Lathifa Shakur. In regarding the accuracy of the list, we leave that for the practitioner to discover through direct experience.

The practical

Above we initimated the angels of the divine names may be known by direct experience. In the dark corners of Ilmu Hikmah, the names of Allah are beautiful recited thousands of times a day, sometimes for months at khodam to evoke the "material" appearance. The purpose of the evocation varied. The angelic servers may be called to assist the practitioner in solving various problems of life, provide familiar, to acquire occult powers and abilities, mystical objects, general information and knowledge of magic, to assist in the magical operations, etc.

In Islamic occultism, the interaction with the angelic spirits are preferred to socialize with the jinn or trafficking with demons. Jinns are unpredictable misleading and malicious demons while. Orthodox Islam as a rule, do not tolerate the practice of the conspiracy because it presents too many dangers for the soul evolving. Al-Hikmah, however, teaches the subject, but with the stipulation that the novice be fully guided in the process and apply strenuous disciplines that refines the soul, awakens the heart and the will, and elevates intelligence to provide protection against temptations, illusions, deceptions, glamor and Maya along the road. Conspiracies in al-Hikmah are confined to angels and jinns, and in rare cases in mind human. "Demons" are not sought for by the misguided path.

Methods of conjuration are numerous. They can be by methods school magic of the Western tradition (the Golden Dawn, etc.), the shamanic process, or simply zikir Tasawuf, or Islamic mysticism, although the latter, the viewing a spiritual point of view, does not consider any important plot or as barriers that cause along. Al-Hikmah, being eclectic, combining several methods, depending on various factors. Different methods are also used by different schools of tradition al-Hikmah. Locule custody of their occult methods of secrecy – or sad to say, with a price.

So far we have mentioned the lower goals and effects of the recitation of the Divine Name. This is the province of thaumaturgy. We emphasize that the singing of divine names has a higher purpose and that is in theurgical nature. Islam refers to the singing of the Divine Names as "zikr". It is widely practiced in the tarikat aspect of Islam. Zikr means "Remember". It is the remembrance of Allah, is the contemplation of that name and not mere mechanical songs. Practitioners recognize the psychic effects Tasawuf of zikir but stay away from them. Their goal is to unite with God, the "unio mystica," through his Divine Names. Zikr is somewhat the same role that the occult practice of the Assumption of godforms.

In the teachings of the Asma ul Husna, or "Divine Names" of Islamic mysticism, the first step is to know and memorize the names intellectually. While we contemplate on the names, trying to express the divine attributes in daily life. In addition to this, we could sing the names in his practice every day until overshadowed by them. Knowing all the divine names, not only intellectually, but it is part of the scene experentially Gnostics of Islam. Nicknamed "Marifat," gnosis offers the practitioner a greater awareness of the source spiritual. Zikr of the Divine Names is just a way to reach the state of gnosis. It leads to the inner light and sound from the Divine Throne.

Divination

The Divine Names, like the Urim and Thurim Judaism has long disappeared, can be used as a divination approximation spiritual consultation system of the I Ching. Chips names inscribed thereon can be built and consecrated by the name associated. They are placed in talisman bag. Questions can be achieved and the chip / s drawn to answer questions. We will not dwell too long on the mechanics and process it, leaving it to the ingenuity of the practitioner to develop its own methods and reading style. We would just add that Our investigators have been surprised many in the accuracy of the system as we presented to them.

Discipline Spiritual

Before committing to practice magic, it must go through an intense period of purification, awareness training, the development of heart and will, the spiritual culture of his character, the accumulation of knowledge and understanding essential practice of goodwill and development of intuition. These significantly protect yourself and the practitioner assortment of problems presented by Astral Glamour and illusions mentally.

Such a period of discipline must be supervised by a spiritual adept or his representative. This is essential for various reasons; one is that the novice may not know the standard or criteria to assess its progress. Without overseership a fan can cause the novice to be filled with illusions of personal grandeur, pride, vanity, etc. The traps are indeed numerous. Being mainly a magician or a mystic causes problems. The path of the heart and the head / will should be in balance. It is the magi that balances the qualities of perfection.

How to invoke

Before you begin a ritual invocation of a divine names, the subject of an ablution – washing holy. Then sitting in a quiet room and do some rhythmic breathing. If you perform your obligatory prayers at the same time, then begin singing the divine names after prayer, otherwise a general prayer of worship to Allah before the zikr. If you know the verse Al-Fatiha, start there.

Carefully choose divine name in accordance with your needs, or you can choose one in your pocket divination as explained above. Then recite the name for the number of times equal its value, or you can multiply the value with the sacred numbers 19 or 11 is structurally in the Quran and the singing of the resulting amount.

Another method is to chant the name until you feel you have reached an inner response. In some specific rites you may be asked singing for a number of times unrelated to the value of names. This is permissible as long as there are reasons for that. There is a lot more leeway in practice of the Divine Names. You can also see that Allah loves odd numbers.

To count the number of songs, a tasbih (string) can be used. Use tasbeeh for a divine Name, Mantra or Prayer, as it loads the string with a specific energy and not fill it with the Cross-vibes with charging too much different names. They may cancel each other. Stick to this rule – a mantra or Name – a string. This would transform the counter into a powerful talisman that energy Name of accumulates. Practitioners have found that the strings are the best feature of counting, counters and mechanical watches tend to malfunction because of the influence of stored energy.

When reciting the phrase no names with the prefix Al but begin with Ya, and add the suffix "u" for. Thus, for example, "Al Jabbar" is invoked as "Ya Jabbaru." Ar Rahim "as" Ya Rahimu. "

Top of the recitation of a volume of voice, either in hard or soft.You can then proceed to whisper or a recitation of prior mental back – for variations. Avoid monotony. Recite with full focus, mentally and emotionally, to the attribute of God of that name. Leave your conscience absorb the power of these names. Do not sing mechanically, but do it with feelings of fear, respect, love and admiration for the divine attribute. Visualize yourself as being filled with rays of light from the heavenly kingdom. Contemplate the names. Singing with a sense of devotion and faith awaits no reward. Perform the rite song for no other purpose other than the nearest approach the Throne.

After completing the zikr close the session with a brief prayer of thanks.

Other effects of names

Ordinary song of the Divine Names affects one psychologically. The practitioner tends to express strong in his daily life he recites the names regularly in his spiritual disciplines. This is one of the great benefits of reciting the Divine Name. Converting character and evolution of the soul must outweigh the acquisition of earthly goods. The practice of singing as its effects in improving the mundane affairs or unfolding the dormant psychic faculties. This should be considered a blessing and not as The main purpose of the discipline.

Evoking the Angel, "Qanyail"

The song of the divine names as mentioned above can be made for thaumaturgical or theurgical. physical needs must be met so that more time, energy and resources are available for spiritual works. While there is an awareness that the goals of social life are not the purpose of life, they may be temporarily supported harmless by any means at his disposal. Magicians use the magic.
