Chapter 16 investigated the importance of the color green in
Sufi's philosophy. Green light is the philosopher’s angel. 1440
Underpinning this is the Sufi belief that there is an angel or heavenly
partner for each of us called Perfect Nature and this angel performs the
function for us of a heavenly witness.
It is the same in Christian theology. God assigns a guardian angel
to each person at birth. 1441 This angel ministers divine guidance by
bringing God's love and wisdom. The angel guards against the powers of
darkness and bears the individuals prayers to God.
In Sufism, a substance sees and knows only its like. We are our
own Perfect Nature. The Zoroastrian explanation of Perfect Nature
makes the heavenly and worldly aspects of the same being quite clear. 1442
Our Favareti and our Daena make up our Perfect Nature. Together, they
represent the flame of our being, the Xvarnah. X-File enthusiasts might
see that Dana Scully is Fox Mulder’s protective angel.
Each being has his Favareti in the heavenly world that assumes
the role of a guardian angel, the angel that chooses one’s faith. The
Daena exists within one’s physical being. She represents the visionary
organ of the soul and the light that makes seeing possible. Those who
have the eyes to see can see this light. She is the essential individuality
and the celestially transcendent self. Kundalini yoga visualizes the Daena
as a tongue of flame above the head. It is the final liberation of the spirit
through the sun-door in the dome of the skull. 1443
The two lights of Favareti and Daena are in addition to the sun.
Robert Fludd, a Rosicrucian writing in the seventeenth century, explains
that the fire of the philosophers had three parts:
A visible fire which is the source of physical light and heat;
An invisible or astral fire which enlightens and warms the soul;
A spiritual or divine fire which in the universe is known as God
and in man as the spirit.
They are the same three rails of the tri-railed papal Cross-of-
Salem that we considered in Chapter 17. The vertical axis is Light. The
top and middle rails are one’s Favareti and Daena, which together
represent the flame of our being, the Xvarnah. The bottom rail is the
worldly or physical self.
The supreme Arcanum or Arcanum arcanorum of Sufism is the
celestial pole and the Most High is the God of the Polestar. 1444 He sits at
the North Pole of the Heavens, which is the highest celestial spot of the
Cosmos. His floor is made of meteoric iron. 1445 The floor is rectangular
