Inscendence as a complementary word to the transcendence brings you contemplations on various topics from the perspective of the reflective, associative and internal intelligence. A journey into depths to find, like Rumi said, the “Messiah, in my heart, I bear.” (مسيحا در دلم پيدا و من بيمار می گردم).
Enjoy the articles. Take them in. More than philosophical discussions or my attempts to convince you of anything, take them as gentle meditations and let them reveal that which your own Inner Heart knows.
[The articles from the old website, Orphic Inscendence, are here too.]

There are angels, bodhisattvas, imams, saints, sages, mystics, who are still very much alive.
God’s Defiant Lovers
For many of these "mad mystics", challenging, insulting God like in the poem above was not foreign. In other poems, the same mystics may express complete enamourment with God.

The Bulbul and the Rose
Everywhere we look, anywhere we allow our gaze to fall is an unique opportunity for this connection through nothing but pure love and devotion. It is an eros that seeks to destroy the boundaries between the two and it is also a bhakti (Sanskrit for devotion, love, worship, purity), an emotional devotionalism that also seeks not the boundary to dissolve because the yearning and the desire, the need, the hunger for the Beloved, will also disappear. Standing between her desire for Unity and desire for selfless, self-sacrificing devotion, the lover is tormented and deeply enjoys the torments.
