All right, Salaam aleikum everyone. This is Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe teaching Tuesdays. And today we’re going to be talking about the jabarut the world of the Soul.Mm-hmm. What is that ocean? And what’s it like to live in that ocean? It is a very profound world of light and people reach it. They really are I kind of think of it as You know the true the world the malakut in the mulk below and then the lahut above and the hafout which is even a higher world above that and then this jabber root kind of being a fulcrum almost a fulcrum point between these worlds. So the job root is very special world.
And it has as I spoke of up before it’s full of light is an ocean of light.It has its own pattern. It’s like it’s built on a certain pattern of construction as all the worlds are each world has its own pattern of construction that creates its light form. And the job root world the Divine names are distributed in the jaburut world. So you think about it as kind of? OH, I don’t know. Let’s say a house that has a wall, you know,and the jabarut is the walls and then the names are the paint that are put on those walls might be a way of looking at it. So you have these these various rooms of the Soul. So the soul is, you know, very large, you know people think about the solar I don’t know what they think the size of the soul is with the soul is Big it probably can be you know several miles in diameter for a soul.
So we’re all kind of live in New York City here just here floating in a sea of souls that everybody’s living in which is why I don’t live in New York City, but the bottom line of it is you’re experiencing a lot going on in those worlds, which is not just yourself. So in these worlds you one of the things if you do live in a city like that, you have to really determine what’s you and what’s not you? You know, you’ve got to be able to know when you’re experiencing something and it’s not your experience if somebody else’s experience and not to get confused between your experiences. Somebody else’s so that definition and defining of City dwellers is a very interesting phenomenon, which is to really be able to do that The second thing is these rooms of these Divine names. These Divine names are part of the world of the Soul.
There are in in the soul world are actually we call reservoirs of these names. So like compassion has its Reservoir or Huck which is truth has its reservoir of light and God sends down like rain from these reservoirs when God chooses at any particular time. God can open the spicket of luck and send down the truth or else man’s and down compassion. So these reservoirs send down these things. I think what we need to know about the world of the job root is that we have to cross that world. And we to reach the world of God, we have to be able to recognize experience become aware of understand the nature of that world and be able to travel through it and not get stuck in it and the jabarut is a world where people do get stuck very easily and so you the way the way through it as you actually have to return your Hard on your soul back to the Oneness.
So that’s how you travel through the world of a jabber Road. You stay in your heart. You return the qualities of a compassion
to be like God’s compassion. So if you say well, I’m not really very compassionate human being. Okay. Yeah in your soul you’re not but that also says that you’re stuck in a lower. Place in the world of the Soul where there’s lack of compassion. But if you begin to deepen your compassion you start to grow and you open your compassion you go more and you deepen and you walk more and you give more your compassion grows and slowly you’re ascending through compassion until you reach a point where your compassion becomes Eternal and limited compassion like God’s and that would be your return. So you walk through compassion to get back to the world of God.
So the whole world is this world of light that we walk through by returning these 99 Names back to God and we cross through
it experiencing different levels of it as we go until we end up at the state of the what we call Annihilation. We’re not where you finally recognize that the entire creation of the soul and the heart and the self and the world is all transitory you recognize that it is Incomplete that it’s going to pass away you recognize that It’s illusionary.
And then that moment you say I don’t want to illusion anymore. I want the truth. I want the reality that doesn’t pass away. I don’t want to live in falsity anymore. I don’t want to live in Shadows. I want the real and that moment your entire Consciousness turns to the one. And when it turns to the one there’s like an explosion that happens inside of you as you’re being breaks open and freeze itself. From its attachments to those worlds and when that happens you feel the state of Eternal Light becoming and that is the world of allahot the fourth world, which we’ll talk about in the next Tuesday, but you let go and you enter into the fourth world and that world is the Eternal world and the Eternal Light.
So I hope you all take your journey and don’t stop with the job root thinking that you’ve reached Enlightenment or you’re there because it’s not complete. It’s a it’s a pseudo Enlightenment.That’s not the complete reality itself. You have to go through it and then really reach into that
Eternal Light, which is the complete light itself. Salaam alaikum Rahul barakatu everyone. Have a wonderful. Return to who? You really are. Thank you.
