As I catch a glance of news that Trump has won the USA elections, my attempts to blocking any distractions from the outside world into my day to day consciousness failed.  Dam iPhone!  Seems like the hardest thing for us human beings is to just focus on ourselves.

I loved reading this blog I got the other day.  I kept it to share with you here. 

The wise of all ages have taught that it is knowledge of the divine Being that is life, and the only reality.

Bowl of Saki, September 29, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

If there is a kingdom of God to be found anywhere, it is within oneself. And it is, therefore, in the knowledge of self that there lies the fulfillment of life. The knowledge of self means the knowledge of one's body, the knowledge of one's mind, the knowledge of one's spirit; the knowledge of the spirit's relation to the body and the relation of the body to the spirit; the knowledge of one's wants and needs, the knowledge of one's virtues and faults; knowing what we desire and how to attain it, what to pursue and what to renounce. And when one dives deep into this, one finds before one a world of knowledge which never ends. And it is that knowledge which gives one insight into human nature and brings one to the knowledge of the whole of creation. And in the end one attains to the knowledge of the divine Being. from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_IV_12.htm

According to my source the 83rd name Malikal-mulk expresses that each and every manifestation in the universe completely depends on being held by god.  It describes permanence in the midst of change.  Things (Mulk) are always in flux - coming and going, strong and weak.  They are transient. Even though the world has this appearance, saying this name brings us the realisation that all manifestation never leaves the hands of God.  Calling this divine name quality is like reaching down into the stream of time and grasping eternal essence in its majesty.  It is king and controller.  Invocation of this quality helps you overcome the dichotomy that arises from how you may be perceived by others because from the perspective of this divine name whether you are viewed as high or as low is irrelevant.

As Lorde turned 20 this week, which I also caught a glimpse of on social media.  I thought her song Royals is one to think about and take some feel goodness from.  Are their any other songs that make you feel Royal or remind you of your majestic self?

36. Miracle, Above and Beyond Ocean Lab - Al Alim (The All Knowing), UK

Over the last few months Ive received amazing new ideas and input around how I see and talk to God.  The rigid ideas I was given when I was younger and that I tried to believe no longer seem viable.  I know my inner being has been seeking information about who I am and what I am doing and it has been able to seek out meaning and language that resonates and brings clarity.  The biggest change within me is the belief we are all one and equal.  Our religions, cultures and beliefs are something to go beyond as they have been established for many other reasons.  Once you know this there is a universal language and understanding of what is going on.  I came across this song whilst listing to the teachings of Abraham Hicks.  These teachings seem a long way from religious beliefs but the consistency and equality of them is just astounding.  I love the word source, another word for God/Allah.   It reminds me of Al Alim see below.

Ive managed to find two versions of this track.  The second version is a club mix see which you prefer.  Check out the artists and their work here and lyrics.  Ive added them below to help you out!

Don't they know that there's something going on
What they're harming with their indecision?
And who will be left standing when I'm gone?
There'll be nothing left but a vision

And it's too easy to turn a blind eye to the light
It's too easy to bow your head and pray
But there are some times
When you should try to find your voice
And this is one voice that you must find today

Are you hoping for a miracle
As the ice caps melt away?
No use hoping for a miracle
There's a price we'll have to pay


Don't they know that there's something they can do?
To be sure of tomorrow's tomorrow?
And too late is too late for me and you
No more time left for you to borrow

And it's too easy to turn a blind eye to the light
It's too easy to bow your head and pray
But there are some times
When you should try to find your voice
This is one voice that you must find today

Are you hoping for a miracle
Am I still here in your plans
No use hoping for a miracle
I am balanced in your hands

According to my source the 19th name Al Alim is the omniscient knowledge of God.  Its ultimate meaning is all-inclusive.  It includes inner knowledge and outer knowledge, the unseen and the seen.  Al Alim means the emanation of knowledge that reaches everything without exception.  Wondering all of its various forms Al Alim is mentioned in the Quran more that any other single attribute of Allah.   It is the word for universe in the sense of a collection of all possible worlds and it occurs in the first surah of the Quran which says that Allah is the lord of all possible universes.  At a physical level, alaamah means a water source that is under a mountain.  God is described as the knower of the essence or inwards secret of hearts.  God conciseness, taqwaa, is this ultimate secret of the heart.  True knowledge leads to a continuing relationship with wisdom that heals and discerns.
