Overview of Chapter 113
My dearest loving brothers and sisters, Suratal "Falaq" or "Mankind" is the next to last Chapter in the Holy Qur'an, and is the second Chapter we should read and understand, for it beautifully describes the second main thing that supports our current state, which is everything currently below us, which is our very own body, a body of illusion made of the 4 elements that have fallen out of the state of the Kalimah, out of "Oneness with" God within us, out of the remembrance of God within us with each breath, a body of illusion which supports our current state of "separation from" God within us, the state that we have in our ignorance grown in our own hearts, in ignorance of "who we truly are", of "where we truly are", and of "what is truly happening" in our life.

Resulting in, along with what is above us, along with our very own thoughts, the state of our current life, of "us" living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, a life of "selfishness", on the "outside" of us, a life that we are now experiencing as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living in the world that we now see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us.

1.  What is Above Us - is our thoughts, is the ether, which is the 5th element within
          us, are the 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual energies, which is everything that is
          now beyond the control of the mind
2.  What is Within What is Above Us - is the True Shaikh and Disciple Relationship, is
          the Shepherd and the Tree, is Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may
          God be pleased with Him) and the Nur Muhammad, which is the "Holy Trinity" of
          Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the "Triple Flame" of Muhammad (blessing and
          peace be upon Him), which in maturity become the 99 potentialities of man,
          become the Asma'ul Husna or 99 beautiful names of Allah within us, become
          the Resplendent Rahman of Allah, the Ruler over here and over there.  Amen
3.  What is Below Us - is the world of darkness and our illusory body, are the 4
          element of earth, fire, water, and air, that have fallen out of the state of the
          Kalimah, out of the remembrance of God with each breath, established within
          us by God within us, becoming now the 36 potentialities of man within us, which
          is the drama of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours" within us

          re-opened within us, in partnership with God within us, once we learn to close
          down the world of hell within us, the world of jinns within us, and the world of
          fairies within us, in this way, with us becoming the 96 potentialities of man within
          us, with us becoming the tree and fruit of the "Justice of Kings" within us.  Amen

          become truly successful within our own lifetime. Amen
