Salaam (Peace) to all...
"There is no difference between Essence and Form, except to the untrained Eye. For, if we put the Form under a microscope, do we not find it is composed of smaller forms, called atoms?
"And, if we put those atoms under a microscope, do we not find them to be composed of yet smaller forms called particles?
"And are not these particles made of the Primordial Life Force, which is called by names such as Electricity, or Essence, or Spirit?"
Through the Eyes of a Student: Just WHO and WHAT is ALLAH?
If, then, that which we call the "body" is but a dense "cloud" of atoms; WHAT is the "I" that seems to reside within this cloud, and WHERE is it?
Or is it that the Individual "I" is but a localized manifestation of an all-encompassing "I"?
