The Day (Era) of the full unveiling of Taʾwīl has come. Seek and speak Truth. This is the Dawr al-Kashf, the Dawr al-Qiyāma, the Day of Resurrection (see 7:53).
Once man has thus comprehended the essence of existence, there remains for him the duty, since he knows the absolute value of his own soul, of making for himself a direct path which will constantly lead his individual soul to and bind it with the universal Soul...

@truth_is_aseity@msnadiri They only appear inconsistent to those who are stuck behind, or unable to see the full picture clearly, due to veils that distinguish between those who have learned and grown through esoteric levels of knowledge and those who are just starting on their quest for Ismaili Gnosis.
@noodlesdetom @msnadiri @alielhaam900 @tarpicholo@KhalilAndani Be fair though, GPISH is not for the Study of Ismailism, so it's not fair really to expect GPISH students to have an advanced level or knowledge about Ismailism. Most don't realize that (including some GPISHers unfortunately).
@YoggeSothothe@KhalilAndani@T_A_Podcast There's been enough time to determine the truth of the debate. The oerwhelming consenses has been that Jake's performance, position and presence was painfully poor, petty and petulant. The only positive was that he appeared positively petrified (at least during the cross ex).
In Qur'ān 12:93 Yusūf says,"Go with my shirt and put it on my father's face, he will become a seer again." This is an example of the miracle of the Imam's light, that he can cast the reflection of his light on a lover and can give him a copy of his ibdāʿī [subtle, luminous] body.
@T_A_Podcast we had a written agreement about joint copyright over the video. Your dishonest behavior to prevent us from uploading a debate video where I have full rights as co-creator was absolutely unethical. Future TAP guests be warned of these bullying tactics by their team.
“Certainly We gave David grace from Us (saying): O mountains and birds, echo his psalms of praise!” #Quran 34:10.
When David was doing ẕikr, the bones of his head [i.e. mountains] & the particles of his soul [i.e. birds] were reciting in harmony with him.

Jake Brancatella debated Dr Khalil Andani 2022, not the MA candidate of 2012. My 2012 class presentation video from my MA program isn’t admissible for 2022 debate. My understanding of primary sources & theology have evolved over 10 years. Weren’t you still a Christian in 2012?
And Jake, while he thinks he is fighting to defend Islam (and that's his right and no one says he shouldn't) has made Islam and Muslims look despicable and devoid of beautiful character in the process.
@KhalilAndani@IsmailiGnosis@ismailignostic. Jake the @mmetaphysician talking about hypocrisy and ethical behavior is the biggest joke. This guy is a prime manifestation of a darkened, black heart devil who has been swallowed up by his own pride.
He's been ranting and been a jackass for weeks if not months because he lost an intellectual confrontation that he wanted. Jake can claim his Tawhid and his Islam is better and authentic. That's nice. But even his co-religionists are embarrassed by his behavior.
