Now let me have
Full of the dark light
A scented glass
So that I rest; for sleep
Would be sweet among shades.
It is not good
To have our souls
Emptied by mortal thinking. But talk
Is good, with one another, and to speak
The heart’s opinion and to hear
Abundantly of days of love
And deeds that have happened.
Friedrich Holderlin, Remembrance
And in the first states of trust, four miracles befall you. These are the signs and evidence of your attainment of the first degree of trust.
These signs are crossing the earth, walking on water, traversing the air, and being fed by the universe. And that is the reality within the door.
After that, stations and states and miracles and revelations come to you continuously until death.
*
And if you do not stop with this, He reveals to you the surface signs, you will be admonished with terrors and many sorts of states will befall you. You will see clearly the apparatus of transformations; how the dense becomes subtle and the subtle dense.
And if you do not stop with this the light of the scattering of sparks will become visible to you, and there will be a need to veil yourself from it. Do not be afraid, and persevere in the remembrance of God, for if you persevere in the remembrance of God, disaster will not overcome.
Ibn ‘Arabi, The Journey to the Lord of Power
