Hi…
For a long time now, I have been explaining these subjects, but still, many people ask me; “Why?”
“Although you have been explaining these subjects very clearly, we still do not understand them.
We listen to you carefully, but after a short period of time we forget what you have said.
Why is this? Why, do you think, we cannot understand what you have been explaining?”
The problem is that you are locking-up your brains.
Frequently, I have heard such things such as “I can’t understand it. I read and read, but still I don’t get it.
Then, when I think I have understood it, I realize that actually I have not. Why does this happen?”
This happens because sometime in the past you have locked-up your brain by your own hands.
What I mean is that you are not aware of the fact that when you hear a comment by someone, you can become locked-up by this comment.
Let me be clear when I say this: whatever we do to others, we do to ourselves and we must then live the consequences of these deeds.
There is a saying, “Everyone lives the effects of what they have done with their own hands”, which also supports what I am saying.
Your brain has locked itself up with something from the past, possibly from your adolescence.
Now, when a similar situation comes along, you say “this is the way it is” without thinking about it at all.
As a result of this way of thinking, when a new development or idea comes along, you are blocked to it and will not be able to process it or incorporate it into your life.
This can affect any aspect of your life, such as; a book, a person or a subject, a religious or social matter, etc.
The brain continues to function in accordance with the rules of the system- Sunnatallah- alone.
It is, therefore, not at all easy to go back and change that idea or way of thinking that was rejected or denied earlier.
Isn’t there any opportunity at all? There is an opportunity. The door of redemption is open.
If, on the other hand, you can become aware that what you have done is wrong, you have an opportunity to question and commence research on the subject which was initially blocked.
This opportunity will allow you to unlock that area in your brain and possibly see the fallacy in your judgment in the first place.
Otherwise, your brain will be blocked with the original comment until you ‘taste death’,
and unfortunately you will not be able to perceive the absolute truth in front of your naked eye or your foresight.
The first step to true understanding is to leave yourself open to new things at all times, to value the researcher and be the questioner towards each new event and subject.
Never restrain or limit yourself.
Approach every moment with the saying “Yesterday, they said this but is it possible that it can also be another way?”
thereby reconsidering the situation in a completely new way.
Unfortunately, many societies live off of the ideas they learned during their youth.
They continue with their locked-up brains unaware of new developments and discoveries that life continuously provides.
The main cause of this phenomenon is social conditionings.
From the very early stages of childhood, our brains being to be locked-up.
And once these ideas are formed, we become unable to see other options even if they are right in front of our eyes.
It is as if we have become blind!
As a society locks up its brain on a particular subject, it can affect the next generation on that particular subject as well.
The veil that blocks us from the unseen and the unknown are merely the obstructions resultingfrom our locked-up brains,
and sometimes these veils can be used by the ones who know how to block our brains.
This system of veiling is also used for the saints- wali- whom are hidden under the cover of Allah.
Since we lock-up our brains by our false concepts about the saints and sainthood,
we are not able to recognize them even when they are right in front of us.
Our preconceptions and false ideas block us.
Therefore, we can only see what our preconceptions allow us to see, rather than what is really there.
The chapter al-Araf verse 179 says; “they have hearts and minds, but they do not understand,
they have eyes but they cannot evaluate what they see,
they have ears but they cannot perceive,
they are like sheep and goats, maybe even more perverted and confused. They are those who are unwary.”
The chapter of al Bakara verse 7 says; “Allah sealed their hearts and their minds, ears and senses, and their eyes are curtained.”
In this statement, “Allah sealed” means that a person’s blindness occurred as a result of the system.
This person’s brain became locked-up due to these false judgments which prevents them from evaluating the truth, even when this person comes face-to-face with it.
“Kufr”, or someone who denies the truth, is a product of having a locked-up brain.
These brains of the unbelievers can not evaluate the truth of the name which refers to “Allah”, “Rasulallah” or “Koran”.
They dissemble the truth and deny it since their brains are locked-up by their prejudgments.
If you have not read any of my books before this, you may think that “being sealed by Allah” is something done by a god somewhere out there!!!..
However, those whom have already read my other works will realize that the qualities pointed out by the divine names of Allah are actually present in the essence of every person and compose their entire existence.
This process is automatic and is defined by the authority of Allah as described in the Koran.
Now, in order to understand the Koran, I will give you one more clue to the puzzle.
The first and most important thing to do before you read something is to put aside your entire database
and all of your evaluations that derive from this database so as to be able to be completely objective and nonjudgmental.
The second is to be cautious of metaphors, symbols, and examples in written and spoken explanations.
Thirdly, never be judgmental, subjective, or biased about anything by thinking or saying “I already know this” or “I read this before”.
If after reading something, you discover that you did not understand or comprehend what the material was trying to present, try not to simple reject or deny the subject.
Instead, allow some time to lapse without making any judgment on the subject .
You may not be able to understand the subject at this time whether it be because you were never exposed to it before,
or because your brain was locked-up by a previous judgment from your past.
In this situation, the best action will be to leave yourself open to that specific topic continuously.
We should know that the judgments that we make are what we should be most aware of,
and this causes us to become devoid of the eternal universal truths and countless secrets.
Our cocoons, which forms our thinking world, becomes our prison most of the time, a kind of thinking cell instead of a universal tool of eternal innovations.
Think about it.
Everything in our universe can become renewed at any moment.
There is a verse in the Koran, like a universal warning, which says “Allah is always in a new state of being.”
We still expect, however, to have a renewer or master spirit that expects society to have an understanding and lifestyle of ancient times!!!...
A renewer with a sword in his hand sitting on his horse leading his army out of the clear blue sky and he will invite everyone to the religion of Islam!!!...
My lifetime will not be enough to witness this!...
or maybe I will not be able to be in contact with or be able to reach this renewer!...
Don’t be misguided by all this.
The renewer that is to come is known as “Rasul-Mahdi” by society,
but he will not be a transformer who will lead religious understanding back to the old traditions and customs nor will he repeat the understandings of earlier societies.
Instead he will be a renewer who is described by the great sufi Mawlana Jala ad-Din Muhammad Rumi as “Today there will be a renewer who will say new things.”
Although the people with locked-up brains or the ones who will their last days like me will probably not see the renewer, at least we realize and know that he is the ONE who is a RENEWER.
The renewer, in my opinion, has come to the world with the function of renewing our religious understanding.
How nice for the ones who are open to this, although, the ones who are expecting someone who will merely repeat traditional understandings may never accept this.
This, unfortunately, is fact …reality.
The ones who will live to see and witness this, will remember my writings and commemorate me.
So, get rid of the lock-ups that block your brain and free your mind in order to be aware of the universal truth of the system.
These lock-ups that block our brains are ruining our lives and our future in this most important subject
because we are suffering from the thought of a concrete god that is formed from these misunderstandings.
There is a very important truth that I am trying to explain to today’s people but Allah has made me realize why I have great difficulty in explaining this fact…
A large number of people believe that everything perceived in this dimension is created by a creator they label as “god”.
They give this “god” concept a shape with quantity and qualities through information acquired through the conditionings of the society they live in, never questioning or thinking about this information.
The society then uses a common name, such as “Allah” for this god-image.
This then is spoken about and becomes accepted without question and forms a block in the minds of the people.
And we have now come full circle back to the starting point of this issue!
When you start to explain about the absolute qualities of the name referred to “Allah”, to a person who is totally unaware of the fact that the concept of a god is baseless and unrealistic,
that person then applies all the newly explained information into this god concept, and renames it Allah!..
However, what should be done, is to completely delete the concept of a god from our minds and instead be able to perceive the absolute truth of the name referred to as “Allah”.
Injecting the meanings of the name referred to as “Allah” into our god concept in our mind creates a “cancerous” effect in our thoughts.
In addition, this god concept in our mind that has been decorated with the divine qualities and attributes of the name referred to as “Allah” begins to grow and spread in our minds day by day
and the god in our mind begins to be called by another name as “Allah”!...
Just as cancerous body cells would cause a person to physically die,
the cancerous god concept in our mind would cause a person to be restrained from realizing the absolute truth about the name referred to as “Allah” and from realizing the eternal life.
That is way the concept of a god or god-figure are to be understood,
by the people who have thinking ability, so that they may be aware of it.
In ordered to understand and realize what is meant by the name referred to as “Allah” as was explained by Hazrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) and the Koran,
we must first purify our minds from the thoughts of a god or god-figure, or “a god outside “.
The practices or meditations which are referred to as “ibadat” are not for “a god outside”!...
There is no such thing as practices or meditations to please “a god outside”!...
Hence there is no such thing as a god somewhere up in the sky that will accept what you do!!!...
If you can realize the importance of purifying your mind, purifying yourself from the god concept,
you will then be able to realize the absolute truth within your essence.
And, by trying to read this universe and the system you are in as created by the name referred to as “Allah”,
you will stop expecting anything from outside of you but instead realize it comes from within you within your essence.
You should ask your prayers and search for the answers from your essence within you
and the name referred to as “Allah” will respond from within your essence.
That means, the required power that is asked by you will come out of you, from your essence within you.
The manifestation of the powers within you is the acceptance of your demands and the answers to your questions.
No entity can wish for, desire or create anything but the wisdom, will and power of the name referred to as “Allah” creates…
The name referred to as “Allah” being the divine ruler (Hakim) rules and creates every entity and event based on reason and in the most perfect way.
Although we judge and criticize the ruling and the creation of the one referred by the name “Allah” as wrong or inappropriate depending on our existence program,
we don’t know what the name referred to as “Allah” desires for.
Secondly, we should understand this fact very well, that the power that is referred to as “Allah” rules the worlds
and manifests desires at any moment under the name of all creatures that are created,
so that there is no other entity apart from the name referred to as “Allah” to ask and to be asked!...
One of the most important and primary laws of the valid and current universal system created by the name referred to as “Allah” is that “the strong will always prevails”.
That means, the strong will continue to win until it comes across another that is stronger,
, this is because the name referred to as “Allah” has the divine quality of power but not the quality of weakness.
Every entity’s power stems from knowledge.
Every entities knowledge is directly proportional with its’ intellectual capacity.
Since each kind of species has a unique intellectual capacity and level, each thinks that the other is mindless!!!...
Each mind determines the other one as either inside or outside of its scope of “mindlessness”!!!...
However, the name referred to as “Allah” manifests the desires and provides each entity with whatever they deserve and whatever is required according to the aim of their creation.
This is what is known as “the justice of Allah”.
This is why in the universe there is no real sense of oppression or injustice exists whether in the past or the future.
I want to close my talk by stating that everyone and every entity, according to the aim of their existence, gets what they deserve and is required for them.
Good night…
