The Essence of the Black Latifa
The Black Latifa, located at the center of the forehead, represents the opening up of a spiritual centre within our being. Its activation brings forth:
• The essence of peacefulness – a quiet and still presence
• A luminous blackness, satin-smooth in quality
• The presence of consciousness as stillness
As this centre opens, our mind becomes quieter, at times completely still and clean. The totality of our consciousness – the whole experiential field of the soul – is stilled.
Awakening Subtle Perceptions
The activation of the Black Latifa enhances our receptivity to subtle dimensions
• Intuitive insights and truths emerge through a quiet mind
• Knowledge arises in ways we may not immediately understand or directly perceive
• Our capacity for deeper inquiry and unfamiliar realms of experience expands
The Dual Nature of the Black Essence
We explore both aspects of the Black Essence:
1. The Peaceful Side: Embodying stillness, mystery, and the qualities of the night
2. The Wrathful Side: Manifesting as power and fierce dedication to truth
The Power of Being
We delve into the nature of essential power:
• Understanding power as an active manifestation of peace
• Exploring how stillness can dissolve mental agitation and reactivity
• Experiencing the annihilating force that reveals the non-existence of egoic positions
