Resumen: La letra ṣād para al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm, «la vía recta», o bien para ṣūfī y ṣafī, «puro». Alcanzar la pureza en la «morada de la desposesión» (maqām al-taǧrīd).

Transcendent experiences such as mystical, near-death, and Kundalini overlap in their phenomenology and aftereffects. Current theories and psychometric scales offer limited theoretical explanation for the overlap. This study psychometrically tests an explanatory framework proposing a common mechanism underlying transcendent experiences, including transcendent experiences of consciousness. A...
Phần I đã lập luận rằng cấu trúc niềm tin của Giêsu phù hợp với mô hình gnosis-có-giới-hạn (bounded gnosis) — sự biết dựa trên trải nghiệm trực tiếp, nhưng bị giới hạn bởi thân phận con người. Phần II này đặt câu hỏi tiếp theo: nếu gnosis là cấu trúc niềm tin của Giêsu, thì trải nghiệm nào đã tạo ra nó? Bài viết xây dựng giả thuyết về một "cuộc gặp gỡ huyền nhiệm" (mystical encounter) — một...

Reading Indo-Persian and Ottoman siyasatnama texts alongside the Sufi classics...
This article introduces Chapters 1 and 2 of La Transmutation: Jung et l’Islam, in which Jad Hatem offers a close hermeneutic reading of Qur’anic Sura 18 (The Cave) through the lens of analytical psychology. Engaging, and at times challenging C.G. Jung’s own interpretations, Hatem situates the narrative of the Sleepers, Moses, and Khidr within the process of individuation, emphasizing...
Ọya has enjoyed limited attention when it comes to theorization accorded other female deities such as Ọ̀ṣun and Yemọja. Characterized in the New World as a “deity of storms and winds,” her mystical capacity to unleash storms through heavy rains that can ultimately cause natural disasters such as deadly flooding and hurricanes makes her equally volatile, tempestuous, temperamental, and...
