This article explores the concept of spiritual states (ahwal) and their profound ontological significance within the mystical doctrine of Sa'd al-Din al-Hammuwayi, an eminent 13th-century shaykh of the Kubrawiyya Sufi order.

Between the 16th and 17th centuries, after the Council of Trent (1545-1563), the theological regulation mechanisms were joined to politics and made the body an ideologically objectionable space, so convents were the space for friars and nuns, acquire knowledge and, obliquely, develop an anthropology from religious life, but which becomes a spirituality (mystical) that leads to a parsimonious...

Everyone seeks to experience a more loving and authentic Life, as if it were something that, through poetry, allows us to open the doors of a sacred temple, where a mystical celebration is about to begin.

Abstract Paradoxically, psychedelics have long been used as models of both psychosis and therapy. After proposing mystical experiences as a link between these models for lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), we aimed to extend and refine this framework for N,N -Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). In a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study, 25 healthy participants received DMT (60mg)...

This brief article interleaves a reading of nom in Derrida’s Sauf le nom and a reading of nām , a term pivotal to Guru Nānak’s Japji , in Arvind Mandair’s Sikh Philosophy . I configure and construe the syntagm Sauf le nām to indicate a grammar of (un)translatability between not only French and Punjabi, but also between negative transcendence in Christian mysticism and positive immanence in Sikh...

Samâ’– musical listening accompanied by whirling – is one of many practices used in Sufism with the aim of opening the individual’s mind and heart to their greatest potential. Just as with zikr (repeating the Names of God), samâ' is considered a means of releasing spiritual energy, that is, of allowing the portion of divine light which lies dormant in the mystic to awaken, uniting with its...
