“My heart has become capable of every form; it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols and the pilgrim’s Ka’ba, and the tablets of the Torah and the book of the Koran. I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love’s camels take, that is my religion and my faith.”
– Ibn al-Arabi
By sea and across deserts, led by mightiest storms into a lost city, the travelers come at last to the gateway of the land of the Jinn this day.
Path of the master sends seven companions on a quest for the original Ring of Power, and the greatest treasure of the ancient world – King Solomon’s ring. It is not the same ring to command the Jinn, those terrifying demons of living fire who live with us all the time.
But the quest chosen to go: visions enter their dreams, remembrances and tears fill their hearts, and mysteries abound; unearthly storms and unending night, the Gates of invincible demons of smokeless fire woven of ancient legends found in the Old Talmud, although set in the search for the ring leads them into a circle of destiny, where the only fate of the Jinn of Love is the infinite God.
Solomon the King with such wisdom bestowed. And lo, the Jinn, birds and animals were servants lost favor in the sight of God, for wealth which brought confusion.
God the Satan of the known world proclaimed him to be the God in hiding and referred to the Sufi the lost Adam as ‘Friend of God’. He began stealing precious jewels from royal treasury for the wicked ring, inset with a stone.
Now, the ancient sorcery, master of the magic arts from Ur in ancient Babylon made a single Shamir stone; a diamond perhaps, or the same green Shamir stone said to have been part of the seal.
No stone was ever so renowned to have seen the ring which was forgotten by the tribes of Israel and their leader when they left Paradise to walk towards Hell.
The Satan the master of the creation knows all that is beyond and knows of the stone that can bring the whole earth under his sway. To control death beyond all power, the One. There for death in the face of the born is held within the world under the seal of his ring.
Armed with the ring, Solomon commanded the spirit to appear. He wore the ring on the mid-finger of the right hand, and pointed it at the foot of his high throne, saying, ‘By the power of the seal of the one God Satan, I command thee, troublesome spirit Goddess, to come forth.’
Lo behold Solomon’s words strung the chord of the Satans Heart and the Friend of God came in from a roaring column of flame instantly appeared, reaching nearly to the high ceiling of the throne room many cubits above, and just as quickly the flame took shape of a demon with his clutched hands a great jewels stolen from the royal vaults. This is the original ring of Solomon which Solomon is unaware of the truth. The Ring of Solomon on earth is the Ring of Satan as the true ring is stolen by the friend.
The Ring in the clutches of the fearsome friend of flame now was a great gem, which sprinkled like pebbles on the marble floor.
The Friend of Solomon with his red eyes which darted like twin flames was now among mortal men that was not his will.
Twice the height of the King David the father so dark and menacing in horror that Solomon stood firm, and saw the arm pointed toward the seal of the ring. The demon’s cruel, lidless eyes went wide, and he let out such a howling shriek that the very stones of the palace trembled to their foundation. It was so horrible a crash that all the people of the kingdom cast themselves on the earth in fear. The cry of a soul plunged the flames of hell. For the power of the ring was shattered and the God was helpless to his knees and prostrated.
The Jinn cried ‘‘Mercy, with such waywardness of the World and my Hunger insatiable!’ He revealed himself as a vampire, who with fangs harder than adamant pierces the gems of the earth to drink their radiance. The heart passed through the forty-nine gates of wisdom to derive from the forty-nine creature a new understanding.
KNOW THEN THE SORROW OF THE DEMON.
For the gems of the earth were born at the dawn of the world, created by the death of ancient forests buried beneath the weight of mountains. It was a time of upheaval when both Jinn and Angels were cast out and the world was broken. The light of the new sun in the life of those forests transformed, crystallized by the long years into the light that sparkles from the cut and polished jewels. And so the demon lavished the first sorrow and loss.
And Solomon was burned by the seal in the neck and the Jinni from that moment did his bidding, of cutting stones within the realm the shape of a hued woman; professed the Hebrew faith and said to observe the Torah; the demon of the group of seven declared to be the thirty-six element of darkness; and a voracious, hound- acknowledged for the original seal of the ring.
A DEMON WITHOUT a head in hunger and desire NOW.
The Master smiled in the prison. The spirit has its placeless world; perished, no matter, since everlasting.
Every fair shape you have seen, every deep saying you have heard, perished; for the undying, gives water continually.
Since lamenting as a fountain, and as rivers:
While the fountain flows, the rivers grief out water; for this water is without end.
From the moment the world of being, A ladder was placed
Escape curved to a secret knowledge, reason, and faith;
Behold the body, which is a portion of the dust- how perfect it has grown!
When in heaven the ocean,
become a sea which is a hundred seas of Son,’ One’ with soul;
If your body has aged, the soul is old
All night, bleeding.
Never once God say, “Here, I AM”?
The bare and abandoned.
Depressed, threw him on the ground
into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met an angel, who asked,
“Why are you calling out to God?”
The man said … I AM God
My reality reach you and love will be a noose.
In the silence “God” Waits “Here I AM.”
While the God of Earth was looking for the unique ring He made his slaves on earth bear his weight upon the man as Gods Ark of Covenant.
Sitting within a fake Ark the God misled the thoughtless in the world and he quested for the authentic Ark of Covenant with the goal of finding the Ring of the Seal.
