A few summers ago I visited a calabrian beach made entirely of black pebbles. It was the hottest day of the summer, hitting over 40 degrees celcius, so me and my husband and brother in law decided to go for a swim with our eldest children. My youngest, with his red hair and celtic white skin, had to be left on the beach in a shady corner, with my sister in law.

We swam around the coast towards a cave that was only accessible from the water – you could not walk round there from the beach. The swim was much longer than expected, the sea played its usual deceptive tricks and the children had to be carried on our backs as we swam around.

We finally arrived: a magnificent, tall cavern. There was a small hole at the very top of it, some twenty metres above us. The strange black pebbles coated the ground. We were surrounded by craggy rock and a small amount of the hot midday sun, which pierced through the top. I could see the branches of a knarled olive tree curled over the top of the opening, glinting silver – it reminded me of a Van Gogh painting. I was reminded of death and the passing across to another world.

A while afterwards I painted the scene several times and realised the spiritual significance of this experience was playing itself over and over in my mind. Is there a world elsewhere? Is there just one world elsewhere or are there many all around us, coexisting on many plains and dimensions? What is the significance of a world elsewhere, or does it matter. Maybe what matters is the will to reach out beyond ourselves, to embrace the unknown and to keep moving forward.

Caverns? They seem to bring these thoughts out, they have an instinctive force, like a living force, which seems to draw spirituality up to the fore…

I associate the cavern as the ‘shelter’. It is the physical shelter, the first houses for the people. The first written images were found in caves. They are in the … body of our Mother Earth, GAIA.

Hermits used to live in caves.
Lately we went to an area in Cyprus near Protaras, named Cavo Greco and just above the sea there are numerous beautiful caves. In one of them, it is said, that used to live the Saints Doctors, Kosmas and Damianos, Ayioi Anargyroi! {A few years ago Saint Damianos had appeared in my dream and I did not know anything about him and his existence. Very impressive.] The atmosphere, in there, is so
calming and soothing.

The association/ theory of Plato’s cave is my …favourite and the dome [ θόλος = tholos] is Ouranos. The first Christians’ churches were in the ‘catacombes’.
Jesus was ‘buried’ in a cave, the same symbolism of Incarnation into Matter.

Oh that was GOOD!

Enclosed I roam from star to star,
I travel endlessly, I whisper and
my breath unfolds behind me as
a vale, a shooting star, a comet
on its way and growing, growing
with each lightyear passing by,
O yes, there is much pleasure in this
roaming , it is creation of a Master
Plan and still this roaming is
continuing, and when from time
to time I reach the boundaries of
my confinement, I feel a sudden
shiver, as if some unseen hand is
there to push me back, or could it
be the vale behind that keeps on
coming back, I wonder. So here I
am, inside and out, no matter
how the journey goes, there always
will be worlds to enter and others
then to leave behind, the roaming
will continue , on and on, no
ending, no beginning, so is the
roaming in the Womb of Being,
the cavern of His Master’s Plan.

I can certainly understand why you might feel a bit freaked out – those are some pretty intense “coincidences” you are experiencing. But don’t get too freaked out…. I did once. A number of years ago I joined an ashram (a sort of Hindu monastery) and that somehow seemed to spark a plethora of “coincidences” in my life. They were so intense (and by that, I mean, so unlikely statistically) and so many that I began to think I must be losing my mind. Everything was suddenly connected in the most bizarre sort of way: It seemed like people were reading my mind. I would experience something (like your trip to the caverns), or read something, or speak of a subject in a conversation, or just think something in my mind, and suddenly, within a few minutes or a few hours, that experience, or that topic or concept would be reflected back to me in a phone call, a conversation, a magazine article, a lecture given by a professor…in any number of highly unlikely ways.

I remember, just as an example, when I was in college, a friend of mine stopped by my apartment very late one night for an unexpected visit. It after midnight – he was on his way home from an evening out – but I was always up, usually most of the night, studying. So, we sat down at my dining room table and began talking, when suddenly he said, “Do you have any cake, by chance? I don’t know why, but I have such a craving for a bite of something sweet.” Before I even had a chance to apologize for the lack of anything whatsoever sweet to eat in my house, the doorbell rang again: It was my neighbor, who was just returning from dinner out at a restaurant. “Sorry to bother you so late,” she said, “but I saw that your light was on, and brought you a piece of cake from the restaurant.”

Now that incident alone could certainly be called a “coincidence,” a highly unusual coincidence perhaps, but a coincidence nonetheless. And yet these sort of things were happening all around me, almost constantly, to the point were I really began to question my own sanity. Then I heard somewhere of the term “synchronicity” and began to read about it. Sting once wrote a song about it:

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shaped romance
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Yet nothing is invincible

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi….

Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist and founder of Analytical psychology, wrote a book about it, titled “Synchronicity.” He defined the phenomenon as “temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events.” In other words: events that occur in unison or are closely connected in time and yet which have no apparent cause which links them to one another. The standard dictionary definition: “Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a supposedly meaningful manner. In order to count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance.”

Though I’ve read about it, and though I’ve experienced it on numerous occasions, and continue to experience it on a regular basis, nothing suffices to explain it completely, and I really can’t say that I “understand” it at all in amy empirical sense. I just know that it is. When I think of it, I think of “The Wizzard of Oz” and how, at a certain point in the film, the curtain is drawn back, revealing the Oz, who is controlling all. I think synchronicity is like that – it is when the curtain is drawn back, revealing the hand of the Divine at work in our lives.

The two angels you mentioned have been assigned the duty to record our good and bad deeds and are called ‘Kiraman Katabin’ (means the Honorable recorders ). The noted deeds will be then revealed and weighted on the day of judgement.
Rest in Islam there is no significance of 7 or anyother figures.
I tried to reply to ur query to the best of what i know.

Cheers;

i read on Ministry of Hadj: faith in the angels of God.
Besides the physical world which we know, God created a world which is invisible us, in which exist angelsMinistère du Hadj : carrying out the will and God’s missions. The most important of these angels is Jibril ( Gabriel), the angel who, in the name of God, revealed to the prophet Muhammad (on him the peace) his mission and the perfect verses of the holy Koran. Two angels are assigned to every human being; they stay up him and take note of its actions, good and bad.

In my personal story, you see, 2 angels came to me, and I was led(driven) in the mountain to receive God’s message..etc..etc..:
1) You can give me information onto 2 angels (in your religion).
2) That the figure 7 represents for you (that I find in all the religions, even former(ancient): astèques etc.)
3) that represents 4 alive for you, and rainbow, and The spirit / the water and the blood .

Thank you, thank you very much Asif

Ministère du Hadj : Croyance dans les anges de Dieu
Outre le monde physique que nous connaissons, Dieu a créé un monde qui nous est invisible, dans lequel existent des anges accomplissant la volonté et les missions de Dieu. Le plus important de ces anges est Jibril (Gabriel), l’ange qui, au nom de Dieu, a révélé au prophète Muhammad (sur lui la paix) sa mission et les versets parfaits du saint Coran. Deux anges sont assignés à chaque être humain ; ils veillent sur lui et prennent note de ses actions, bonnes et mauvaises.

The spiritual awakening, such as it is defined in certain mystic currents of the Hinduism ( Samadhi) as well as the Buddhism ( Bodhi) or the Christianity (see the religious Conversion), represents the outcome of a personal commitment on a spiritual way. A physical, moral, intellectual asceticism, led(driven) the follower in a radical emancipation (ataraxie, apatheia) convenient to the spiritual awakening: however, This one can also arise brutally (current Zen Rinzai, revelations of mystic order).

It is indeed the renewed experience of the world or the superior truths that offers itself then in the freed consciousness, which deserves the name of spiritual awakening. This deeply moving experience is often described in various traditions (Hindu, Christian, in particular) as a ” second birth “.

The spiritual awakening….my second birth…

The allegory of the cave is for Platon more than a simple metaphor, but on no account a myth . It is about a representation of the reality of what can live a person having made its road of reflection, rise of herself; that is his(her) own initiatory route which she does not have to reserve for herself(himself) but which she must know how to offer to the others, to the fulfillment of a duty with her fellow men, Duty of grip of public responsibilities.

To speak, testify, to share and to explain, to understand, road of life towards another life, the light which enlightens eyes is not the light which you know, to enlighte its soul to lenlighten its spirit, to understand what we cannot see, and which exists near us, and which is hidden for us, and which we have to discover….

Discover by itself, because if somebody says it to you: you will have difficulty in believing it, and will want to understand a parent explain, and knows that his(her) child will understand that when he will have lived

Love / live / see and the light ….
