~Wholeness And
Destiny~
by Ahmed Baki
From
"Hidden Rosarium" at

The whole universe is a complete, intelligent system. There is total order
to all events; nothing is amiss.
From the perspective of this universal intelligence there are no 'time
passages' such as those perceived by human minds. There is only one,
eternal, undivided, universal moment that exists at once.
However, as a product of our five senses' perception, we observe all events
taking place in an order in time. By referring to the wholeness within the
essence of everything, we define the situation by saying that "all events in
the universe are organized by Allah" in a timeless dimension.
There is only one, single will-power ruling over the whole universe.
However, there are many, many, dimensional levels of existence as well as
levels of time. What we know as our time is completely
relative to our human perception, and concepts such as before and after are
completely relative to our point of observation within the capability of our
senses. Therefore, something that is observed as happening now for us in our
dimensional level of life may have already happened in another dimension of
time without our knowledge.
As an example, just consider a blast of thunder that you hear seconds after
you see a flash of lightning. Your senses' perception fool you into thinking
that the thunder roared sometime after the lightning occurred. Whereas, in
fact, at the point of event by the clouds they both are the result of the
same one event that occurs at once. Our way of observing creates the
perception of a time interval, a duration of time that passes between
events, a perception of time that changes depending upon our distance from
the event.
Our future is always of our understanding of future: it is not
future for itself. Therefore, considering the reality of wholeness, all our
future is already foregone.
Past, present and future are wholly enfolded within oneness.
Thus, accepting destiny is being open to the reality beyond the limits of
our senses' perception.
