Witnessing Perfection by Shaykh Haeri

Witnessing Perfection by Shaykh Haeri

The golden thread throughout "Witnessing Perfection" is that the eternal divine light manifests as countless modified energies and shadows. The one supreme consciousness permeates all entities in existence and enables relationships and interactions to occur through that cosmic unity. This supreme Godhead beams out qualities and attributes such as life, power and will, which are desired by sentient creatures. In human beings these qualities belong to the soul and are chased by the ever-changing self, which is like the soul's shadow companion. Enlightenment is the result of synchrony between the self (which is a conditioned consciousness) and the soul (which is pure consciousness), reflecting the light and qualities of the supreme consciousness, or God.
