"Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened,
The source they come from is eternal, growing,
Branching out, giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
The source is within you
And this whole world is springing up from it."

Chant & Shagal
Ya Basir - Nur (Divine sight)
“Disclose to us thy Divine light.”
While gently sealing the eyelids with the index fingers, seeing a
dazzling light within the head. One must close one’s eyes very gently
with the first finger of both hands, closing the opening between the
eyelids. Care may be taken that one does not press one’s eyes by it,
not put the weight of one’s fingers upon the eyes. One must breathe
softly and slowly, holding the breath, as one can easily hold it without
staining the breathing vessels. One must think while doing this
practice that one is looking at the universal light which is the cause of
the whole manifestation and out of which have come all the visible
forms of this world before our view.
Once sight Shagal has been mastered and one is able to see the light,
one must try to retain that light as long as one can. One must practice,
without putting the fingers upon the eyes, to visualize a spark of light.
It must be made as clear as the outer light; and one must know that
light to be the first cause out of which manifested all forms. This will
give the adept insight into all things, and he will be able to throw his
inner light upon life, thereby to see its nature and character more
clearly.
The eye of the heart, an organ of spiritual perception, which acts like
a vibrant resonant field, aligning one with a deeper dimension of
reality, bringing together the finite and infinite, so we act from an
underlying unitive ground, that place of oneness before opposites
arise. DOC
The deity Eyes of Light found the door of liberation purifying the eyes
of all sentient beings, causing them to see the matrix of the cosmos.
The Buddha-body is pure and always tranquil; The radiance of its
light extends throughout the worlds; Signless, patternless, without
images, Like clouds in the sky, thus is it seen.

OF GUIDANCE.
The Nature of the Light Visible in Shaghal
“Allah is the Light of Heaven and Earth,” says the Qur’an. This may
be understood thus, that heaven and earth are made of light and are
light in themselves. That which we recognize as space or what we call
vacuum is all light. It manifests when the vibrations unite together
and when atoms group together. It is audible when it acts as
vibrations and it is visible when it manifests as atoms. As the external
world is made of light, so the inner being is made of light, and the
best vision of the inner world becomes vouch- safed to the adept who
practices Shaghal.
The question how the secret of the universe could be found within
oneself, in a drop which is like a drop in the ocean, may be answered
thus, that the drop itself is nothing but ocean, and one who studies
the drop can study the ocean. The saying of Christ,“Straight is the
gate and narrow is the way,” speaks of the gate within the body,
which seems a narrow gate compared with the external world which
is so vast. But when one enters by the gate which is within oneself by
the help of Shaghal one discovers gradually the whole process of the
working of the whole universe.
And when one touches the place of the abstract one has two primary
senses with which to experience, the sense of hearing and the sense
of sight. The Qur’an says,“God is pure, Who sees and Who hears,”
which may be understood that the soul which is the ray of God is
pure, pure from earthly substances and pure from mortality, and
without the help of the external organs it is capable of seeing and of
hearing. There is another sura of the Qur’an where it says,“We
showed him some of Our wonders which he knew not.” Those
wonders one sees through Shaghal when one masters it and when one
dives deep within oneself and sees the light within, every particle of
which is inspiring and its every flash and every change the expression
of some secret of life.
TOWARD THE ONE, THE PERFECTION OF LOVE, HARMONY
AND BEAUTY, THE ONLY BEING, UNITED WITH ALL THE
ILLUMINATED SOULS,
WHO FORM THE EMBODIMENT OF THE MASTER, THE SPIRIT
OF GUIDANCE. The Light in Shaghal
Shaghal is a practice by which the life forces are drawn to a center.
The construction of the light of Shaghal is like that of the light of the
sun, for the sun is the light of the universe drawn into a center. The
light has two tendencies — to spread out and to draw in. In spreading
out lies the weakness, for the atoms are scattered and spread about,
which naturally causes dimness. When it is most spread it is that state
which we call darkness. In reality there exists no such thing as
darkness; life is light, and light is omnipotent and omnipresent. It is
the comparison of the light that is concentrated or centered and of the
light that is scattered and spread out.
A human being is all light. Ones soul, mind, and body are nothing but
different grades of radiance focused in a limited form. This light
expresses itself outward all the time; when one feels, when one
thinks, when one acts, in all things one is throwing ones light
outward. The Sufi, by mastery of self, learns to draw in, so to speak,
the outstretched rays of her being. When by the practice of Shaghal
one has managed to draw them in, the light focuses itself in a center
and begins to manifest to the extent to which it has been gathered.
The idea of clasping the hands, of crossing the legs, of closing the lips,
of shutting one’s eyes, all suggest withdrawing the rays of one’s light,
but when one has mastered the breath, then one is capable of drawing
in all forces; and when they are drawn in and focused in a center, the
illumination comes. This becomes a torch of the mystic. In the light
of this sun within one becomes able to see things clearly within and
without.
