EMRE Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Sixth Flash Again, there was to have been a treatise explaining in twenty-five degrees of reflective thought the important truth stated in numerous verses of the Qur'an and expressed by the phrase: There is no power and strength save through God, the Exalted, the Mighty. Like the Fifth Flash, this too formed degrees I had felt in myself and observed through reflection and remembrance of God in my journeying of the spirit, and therefore, since it was the means to illumination and spiritual pleasure more than intellectual knowledge and reality, it was considered appropriate to include it at the end of the Flashes—which are about reality, rather than among them.
