In this Universe, there are several worlds and galaxies. The Essence and Reality of God is something only God knows or those with whom He has shared His Secrets. How much of this information God has shared with His chosen servants is not our concern. However, we do know that God created this entire universe for us humans. It is stated on several occasions in the Quran that the foundation of this universe is the Light (nur) of God. Based on this fact it is imperative that Man and all of his abilities be centered on one foundation. It is our daily observation that not all of our actions, motions, whims, thoughts, imaginations, and feelings are dependent on the body of bones and flesh. Because when the Spirit disconnects its link with the physical body then this body of bones and flesh is unable to act on its own. As long as the Spirit is attached with the body, all the needs, and functions necessary for life are present. In other words, Spirit (ruh) is the foundation of the body. According to the Quran(Koran), a limited knowledge of the Spirit is given. Nevertheless even this limited knowledge is still knowledge. What we are trying to emphasize is that what we consider Man is a body of bones and flesh, though that Man is nothing but fiction. The real Man is the one that protects that skeleton of flesh and keeps it in motion, whom the Quran calls ruh (Spirit). This ruh, in order to fulfill the needs of life uses a medium. We call this medium, chromosomes. In the Quran, God has said that, We poured Our ruh in him (Adam). In other words, ruh created a medium and after that gave him the senses. ruh is in fact a component of the Divine and in it all the knowledge of Divine Discretions and Attributes are present, which God so Willed. Just how this knowledge was acquired by the component, is a Divine Mystery, which could never be explained. There are eleven thousand generators (latifa, plural lataif) at work inside the Man. According to Sufism, there are eleven thousand Divine Names as well. Every Divine Name is an Attribute and every Divine Attribute is knowledge (ilm). This knowledge further expands into more and more spheres to become a manifestation of the Divine Attributes. To enter the unseen world (al-ghayb) or to behold anything beyond Time and Space, we have to first free ourselves from the clutches of spatiotemporal restrictions. This is only possible when the vision that sees Time and Space frees itself from its boundaries. To activate that vision, certain exercises have been created through which even if the human mind is not totally free at least it is able to come close to it. Now the next question is to how and when the human senses could be freed from that restriction. One example is the state of dreaming. Sleeping actually is getting freedom from the diurnal senses, which are Time and Space. When we go to sleep then our senses are transferred to a realm where the state of Time and Space do exist but not in the chronological order in which we spend our life. The Second way is that while wake human mind could focus on any object with full concentration. For example when we read an interesting book, we often lost track of the time. When we finally look at our watch, we then realized that so much time had elapsed, though we were not aware of it. In the Quran, the event of Moses receiving the Torah is mentioned in the following verse, And We promised Moses thirty nights and fulfilled it in forty nights. Day and night are mentioned in Quran in the following verses, And We enter night into the day and let the day enter into the night. We take the night out of the day and take the day out of the night. We cover the day onto night and night into the day When we contemplate these verses of Quran, we realized that day and night are in fact two senses. In other words, our life is divided into two senses. One of the senses is day the other one is night. During the day senses (diurnal senses) restricted with Time and Space while during night senses (nocturnal senses) we are free from these restrictions. The Divine Statement that We promised Moses thirty nights and fulfilled it in forty nights, is interesting. Because Moses did not simply spend forty nights there, his entire stay was forty days and forty nights. It was not that he was spending the nights at the place and coming back during the day. He did spend his entire stay at the Mount. Interestingly God did not mention days in the verse instead mentions only night. It clearly suggests that during those forty days and forty nights, Moses was under the influence of nocturnal senses. The same nocturnal senses, which free us from the restrictions of Time and Space. Hence, anyone who would impose the nocturnal senses during the period of day and night on themselves would be free from the confinement of Time and Space. This freedom from spatiotemporal restriction is the way to exploring the unseen realm and getting intuitive information. During a battle, an arrow injured Amirul Momineen Ali ibn abi Talib. It had entered his thigh and the pain was excruciating. The surgeons could not operate on it. Because of extreme pain he would not let them even touch it. One of his companions suggested to surgeons that they wait until Imam Ali began his prayer. When Imam Ali began his prayer, the surgeons were able to operate on him without him showing any sign of pain. By the time he was done with his prayers, Imam Ali realized that the surgeon had already performed the surgery and the wound had already been stitched. This event is another example of the negation of Time and Space. When Imam Ali started his prayers, his senses went from diurnal state into nocturnal state. The moment his mind entered the nocturnal senses his focus was shifted away from the diurnal senses (restriction and pain). The foundation of Spirituality is based on the reality that Man has two senses, two brains, and two lives. Just like the two sides of a coin, it has two sides.One life is restricted; the other one is free. Constrained life is day, wakefulness, and consciousness. On the other hand, free life is the name of night, joy, peace and the contentment of the heart. To gain that life the easiest method in Spirituality is Muraqaba (Sufi meditation). Muraqaba (Sufi meditation) is in fact the name of an exercise, effort and the angle of perception. Through it, anyone can enter the nocturnal senses while keeping the diurnal senses active as well.
"Without Spiritual vision, belief is nothing but an assumption. "

Every person is under the influence of one color or another, and s/he sees life through the filter/glass of that color. Yet, people don’t normally think about colors. We are inspired by viewing pictures and paintings but don’t give much attention toward the nature of colors. If we become more aware of the reality that colors are actually important to our lives and our perspective on life, then gradually the deeper mysteries of our own selves will be revealed.
The color we choose for our apparel and home are the result of our deep, natural interest in those colors. The colors we use for our apparel create an effect on our environment. We choose the color of our clothes through inner inspiration, which tells us which color will be good for us.
It is possible that a color we do not like at this point in time may look good to us a year from now. This change indicates that the flow of colors/light in our inner core has changed. If we pay close attention to which colors are present in our environment, what color of clothes we normally wear, and the color of our food, then we will realize that ”Our life is nothing but colors.”
The light, heat, and color of vibrant rainbow waves create effective vibration on all living tissue. These frequencies create different effects on the tissues. Therefore, with the help of colors, every disease inherited since the beginning of mankind can be treated.
All colors discharge pulsing light waves, which create the feeling of either cold or heat after colliding with an object. The wave length of the color red is the longest due to the slow wave frequency, and the wave length of the color purple is the shortest, due to the fast frequency.
Red creates the feeling of heat, while a sky blue color creates the effect of coldness. Green is the color that creates balance. Blue creates the feeling of spaciousness in the environment, while the density of red limits its frequency and movement.
Different colors create different feelings and effects (e.g., burning and itching by red, warming effect from orange, light warming from yellow, green feels no warm no chill, and jujube affects cold with pinching feeling.) Color creates feelings of byte, cut, hurt, crush or hit, or sting as well.
Through experience it has been seen that patients of stress and sleeplessness are fast cured with purple, blue & turquoise blue colors.
Red, orange and yellow colors are invigorating and help combat laziness and weakness. There is a saying with Color Therapists that putting patients in a pink color environment subdues the emotions of violence and revenge. Pink acts as a tranquilizer for veins and muscles. The effects of pink are now used to balance sex, family disputes, business matters, and jails. Through the pink color, anger is lowered. Under pink, muscles don’t experience stress and tension. Even blind people feel relaxed in pink colored rooms.
One day while doing breathing exercise and contemplating colors and their effect on the body, I received intuition that sunlight includes all colors, and these colors fulfill our nutritional requirements. If we store sunlight in our biological system, then it can fulfill our nutritional requirements. Following this inspiration I use to sit facing towards East before sunrise and through breathing pointed my mind towards a specific aliment of my body and imaginatively directed sun rays into my stomach. As a result there was no need for food except for water and neither did I felt any weakness. However while walking I felt much lighter and I felt I was walking in space, and solid walls looked like as if they were made of paper.
Sunlight has minerals and gases included, both of which are an important component of human food. Food gives us energy and strength. If we use food and light (combination of colors) together it increases this energy two fold.
The best way to absorb colors is to use fruits and vegetables. The sunlight is directly absorbed into fruits and vegetables. However, we have to ensure a color balance in our diet by not over-cooking or deep frying our fruits and vegetables because a lot of the nutrition in the colors is lost during this process.

This color stimulates emotions, produces happiness, and is full of life. In today’s lifestyle people mostly spend their time sitting in cars, in-front of televisions, or in offices and don’t exercise.

Deficiency of Green-ness in the core-center of the mind becomes the cause of one-sided behaviors and narrow heartedness in achieving life’s goals.

The milky light maintains its balance and the balance of others as well. This light is also absorbed in things used by the body. This is why the things used by Spiritual People are preserved as benedictions. Pure and gentle waves keep spreading out of their graves and the dispersion of these waves is called “Grace.” The pure and chaste inside of these individuals is filled with divine light, which continues enlightening the whole environment. People who are covered with white (milky) light waves are reticent and take out time from worldly matters in order to sit in solitude and meditate.
