MANIFEST THROUGH YOUR MIND

ASK FROM YOUR MIND, NOT FROM ALLAH, FRIENDS. ALLAH DOESN’T DEAL WITH SUCH THINGS. 😊

It is not Allah who fulfills our wishes, but everything is established upon Him. Allah is the creator of the mind as well, so there’s no misunderstanding here. He is made of pure love and encompasses everything from the Universe (Küll) to the smallest particle (Zerre). There are just rules in this system; He doesn’t have the purpose of fulfilling your wishes. It is up to you how you experience those rules with your free will. That is the essence of the system. When you break a rule, it’s game over for you, which means you are out of the game, and you must wait your turn to re-enter the game, for the game that will restart.

Our wishes are fulfilled by our minds. You must ask from your mind, whatever you desire. Your mind will allow it. While there is such a noble divine system, asking for something from a mind that is simple, limited, and unaware of many things seems like asking for help from someone who is not an expert. 😊 However, of course, if you program your mind in the best way, it will serve you in the best way. We do not truly take control of our lives when we pick up thought bubbles floating above our heads and use them as if they were subjects we planned ourselves. In reality, we unconsciously perceive thought clouds closest to our design as if they were our desires. Thus, there is not even a real consciousness at play—we remain stagnant. However, the duty of being human is not this; it is to leave the mind behind and rise in consciousness.

The mind is essentially the world itself. Let’s decorate our text here with lyrics from the song Sevmek Zamanı (Time to Love): "We loved this world so much, let death stay away from us, we fell in love, and gained courage, let fate be on our side!"(Actually, I could sing this as a song on Spotify! 😊)

Staying only in the mind disrupts our balance and can even make us ill. At times, by instinct, at times without knowing why, and at times by realizing that what we think may not actually be true—that our beliefs may just be rigid thought patterns—we can achieve balance.

Religious rituals, techniques for releasing thoughts, and yoga practices help us let go of these sticky thought patterns that we mistakenly perceive as reality. They also help us create empty spaces within ourselves.

For example, gravity is a law of the divine system. Even if you mentally say, "I want to fly," you know you cannot bypass this law. Even if the mind wants to fly, universal laws dictate that it will fall and be out of the game. This is a law even the lowest levels of consciousness are aware of. But as one ascends to higher consciousness, the realization that even thoughts have a counterpart in the system is something very few people grasp.

Even if you only think about something, the laws of Allah's system come to find you. They do not question what you are thinking or why. If you are at a low level of consciousness, you won’t even be aware of this. This is why most people insist that the events happening to them are not their fault. However, the system processes thoughts according to the law of creation. Just as the sun sends its warmth to both the rich and the poor, the guilty and the innocent alike, only those who use their minds correctly can benefit from it to the fullest.

Another example of divine law: You may want to earn a lot of money, but if the money you earn is used for the benefit of the whole, the system protects and blesses both you and your wealth. This is why our religion emphasizes zakat and warns people about how to use and share their income. However, within your mind, this law operates only in your favor, and you remain unaware of it.

As one ascends from lower consciousness to higher levels, Sufism beautifully explains how the mind interprets this process:

Shariah Consciousness: What’s mine is mine; what’s yours is yours. (Teaches servitude)
Sufi Consciousness: What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is yours. (Teaches the knowledge of Allah)
Truth Consciousness: There is no mine, there is no yours. (Teaches divine love)

The final stage is Gnosis Consciousness (Marifat), which very few people attain. Here, one unites with Allah, seeing no separation, and serves with love.

Returning to our main topic: Just as there are divine laws, there are also mental laws. The mind is not separate from the divine system, but for clarity, a more detailed distinction has been made here. Mental laws vary from person to person—you can achieve almost anything if you develop your mind. However, because the mind exists in duality, for every good thing that manifests, something bad will follow. You must accept this duality.

In the existence and unity of Allah, there is no distinction between good and bad—there is only love. If you are asking from your mind, remember that you must accept both sides of the coin. For example, if you are constantly winning, it just means that your time to lose has not yet arrived.

If you have a higher level of consciousness—if you observe events from a neutral state and a high perspective—then there is neither a winner nor a loser. There are only energies that come and go. There are states you experience. You shift from one state to another—sometimes sad, sometimes joyful. Through you, Allah's system experiences these states and emotions.

To serve Allah is, in its simplest perception, to live in this way. So whatever you are going through, live it fully, feeling every moment. When it ends, do not cling to it. Learn to say "Welcome!" to a new thought, state, or emotion, and "Goodbye!" to what has passed.

Our devotion is not to emotions or the mind but to the divine essence of Allah’s system, which is infinite and limitless love—our own essence.

So what do we say? Let’s joyfully embrace our existence within Allah’s eternal system! Let’s take moments to step out of our mental walls and create spaces within ourselves filled with love. Nature walks, time spent with animals and children—these are the best ways to do so.

In our daily routine, the mind hypnotizes us and does not allow us to escape from our self-imposed prison.
