Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the divine feminine power as depicted in the texts of Hispanic mystics from Sufi, Hebrew, and Christian traditions. This work is intended to investigate the origin and subsequent development of a transcendent reconciliation of polarity, its diverse manifestations, and the attainment of a common goal, the quintessential of the Perfect Human Being. The architect of the encounter that leads to Union is “Sophia”. She is the Secret. Only those who are able to discern Her own immeasurable dimension may contemplate the Lady who dwells in the sacred geometry of the abyss. Sophia is linked to the hermetic Word, She is allusive, clandestine, poetic, and pregnant with symbols, gnostic resonances, and musical murmurs that conduct the “traveler” through dwellings and stations towards an ancient Sophianic knowledge that leads to the “germinal vesicle”, the “inner wine cellar”, to the Initium, to the Motherland. She is the Mater filius sapientae, who through an alchemical transmutation becomes a song to the absent Sophia whose Presence can only be intuited. Present throughout the Creation, Sophia is the axis around which the poetics of the Taryuman al-ashwaq rotates and the kabbalistic Tree of Life is structured.
Highlights
Those born in present-day Spain, whose Islamic and Jewish history has been concealed from us, have a responsibility to discover our long-neglected authors, the ones who wrote in other languages—Hebrew and Arabic
As we have previously indicated and as we will later see, the erotic echo of the Song of Songs continues to resonate through the text attributed to the circle of Moses de León
The force behind the metamorphosis that leads to the Union of differences is both Himma, the creative energy referenced by our Sufi master Ibn ‘Arabi and the Shekhinah, the Presence and Glory of the Lord in the Kabbalah
Summary
Those born in present-day Spain, whose Islamic and Jewish history has been concealed from us, have a responsibility to discover our long-neglected authors, the ones who wrote in other languages—Hebrew and Arabic. As the Murcian Sufi Ibn ‘Arabi reminds us, the mystic souls of all historical epochs live out the same spiritual experience, though conditioned by the diversity of beliefs, by religious plurality This diversity gives rise to what the Sheikh denominates as “the god created through the creeds”, which is inevitably problematic, since according to a proverbial saying: “There are as many ways to God as there are human souls” This diversity gives rise to what the Sheikh deReligionsn20o2m1, i1n2a, 1t5e6s as “the god created through the creeds”, which is inevitably problematic, since according to a proverbial saying: “There are as many ways to God as there are human souls”
