Seek the Cloak of Royal Power and Glory

Dearly Beloved,
I have written two pieces of literary art and made two pieces of digital art. They are works I did with Yeshua, Hazrat, the Holy Spirit, and many angels. They speak of the universal symbol of Sufism co-created by Hazrat Inayat Khan and the many symbols of the same teachings of the Forgiveness of God as the Winged Sun, Caduceus, and the Holy Halo of Light seen in many tapestries of ancient religions around the world.
Much of what I wrote is what takes place in my own experience when you see the vision of the Son of God and continue on to progress as the holy instant becomes constant and the world of angels comes into view. After the golden halo’s initial formation, the Face of Christ must be learned to be seen in everyone through miracle forgiveness. As it does, the world of angels gets clearer in your sight as full Power and Glory of the Kingdom of God is accepted. A state perfect of silence and stillness.
This is the state of unshakable peace I write about in Jesus’ teachings. I have yet to experience it fully but in glimpses. That is how vision begins. What is written down reflects many of the revelations I have experienced, my current experience to date, and what has been directed to me to share through the Holy Spirit.
You will find these teachings in the Bible, ACIM, gnostic texts, Zoroastrian teachings, the works of Sufi and Zoroastrian illumination vision master Shihab al-Dīn Suhrawardi, and Sufi Master Ibn Arabi. As well as in the Tao Te Ching, the teachings of the Third Patriarch of Zen, and various Ramana Maharshi teachings. And of course, in the teachings of Hazrat Inaya Khan and my own.
Universal Symbol of Sufism - Logo Design for IamOneSelf.com
I recently updated the website with this Sufi angelic winged heart I co-created as the new logo for IamOneSelf.com. I had a vision where an angel went through my old logo on the computer screen. This is the old logo below.
You will see the new logo as halo of rainbow light, not gold. It’s in rainbow light because that is my experience of what angels look like presently since the golden halo formed 13 years ago. It seems it may remain that way as long as some darkness remains in the mind. It appears the Light of Mind is fracturing from a whitish gold to rainbow light like a prism.
The Light of Mind shines through the illusion of separation and fractures the light into different colors which forms the physical world in a rainbow spectrum seen by the physical eyes. Through the spiritual eye angels shimmer and shine in rainbow light as well, but in a wonderful quality that I still find confusing. That confusion can only mean I am holding to an attachment, as all confusion does. Keep in mind, I am looking at a reflection of myself in you when I see them.
When the cloud of darkness, which is the illusion of guilt and the denial of Light, has completely dissipated, perhaps it will be a white-gold environment. Or perhaps the Sons of God as the angels we are will continue to sparkle in rainbow light but more intensely. This rainbow light is so well put together. At times it doesn’t streak but glitters in unity, while other times you can see clear bands like a rainbow in the sky. When it glitters, I get a sense that it is closer to wholeness. Only time will tell what happens next. I’m still afraid to go completely into the Light but I am making progress. I have asked to understand this, yet my own mind caught in false desires prevents the Answer.
The winged heart has a star in the center. This is a symbol of the initial golden halo that shines through the darkness, and a crescent moon over a crucifixion, crossing out of the egoic “I” thought. The moon also represents an arc of golden light from mind to mind, from you to your brother, and the Face of Christ at some point becoming constant as a golden halo. All this the gratitude of the forgiveness practice gives us as we seek to find only joy messages of joy from our brother. Always remember the message you receive from the family of God is the message you gave. Love or fear. Grievance or innocence.
As I have been explaining I am still working to make the Face of Christ constant in my sight. Presently I still feel that the golden halo will return. When halos appear in my present state, which is very often, they are white light most of the time. They have a very clear quality and beautiful sense of innocence. They sometimes shift to blue and violet hues. When a lot of violet is present, I feel a sense of humility or fear as the ego is being shined away. Forgiveness is at work.
I want to share a lyric from the song “The Way of Heart from the Rainbow Family music archive”, (click the link) as I offer these teachings to you. I was listening to this album when this work was written.
“Let Way of Heart. Let the Way of the Heart. Let the Way of Heart shine through. Love, upon Love, upon Love, all hearts are beating as One. Light, upon Light, upon Light, shining as bright as the sun.”
Here is the other piece of art I did. It has many layers that will be exposed over the course of this post. It was a formation of angels I saw in my mind that joined to make this image. We made it together. It formed as I meditated on the “Cloak of Royal Power and Glory” that Suhrawardi and Jesus wrote about.
I will be writing about it in “The Illumination Chronicles” I’m offering on Substack to subscribers. I built the image from an old image that came out of ChatGPT a year prior. I took it apart with Canva and started making individual pieces I assembled. It took over a week. It turned out so nice. Let me know what you think and share it with your friends.
Below is the old image that I started from. It felt so out of place at the time. It came out of ChatGPT with a bunch of images during a period when I was meditating on the work of Sufi masters Hazrat Inayat Khan, Suhrawardi, Ibn Arabi, and the Rigdens of Tibet taught by Trungpa.
Hazrat has wonderful teachings of Chivalry and true Knighthood of the Angel Man. He studied the Zoroastrian tradition as did many Sufi masters. Trungpa transformed the idea of the warrior to a spiritual crusader and gave talks on nobility and the Rigden Kings. It resembles teachings of the Great Crusade and Angelic Princehood of the Kingdom of Heaven in the ACIM Urtext.
Suhrawardi taught of the “Farr” or “Khvarenah” in his illumination vision teachings. The divine radiance and luminous splendor of true Kings as a Glorious Celestial Body of Light he achieved as he transcended high into the angelic realms to discover the “Brothers of Abstraction”, such as the angel Gabriel.
He spoke of the Royal Sciences of Light of Ancient Sage Kings. Like that of the Kay Khusraw of the Kianian Dynasty. A king who became a great sage after years of war. He left his castle, fortune, and armies, and headed to the mountain transforming into Light as he received the Farr in a surrender to Ahura Mazda. It was a very Hiawatha exit, similar to the transfiguration of Jesus, Enoch, and the Tibetan Rainbow Body Phowa Chenpo. A personal goal of mine.
These were all true kings likened to the Rigdens of the Tibetan Buddhist Shambhala tradition. They were no ordinary kings, but very holy men and women. They took care of the people and put God first. They held selfless positions and lived in the Kingdom of Heaven, like King Solomon.
What I find even more amazing is I have not been able to get AI to produce images like this one since. I have tried many prompts. I’m not surprised, as AI has a different role in my creative process than it once did. It is true indeed that the world you see is the outside picture of your inward condition. You are always looking at your own mind, whether that be AI images, the room you are sitting in, or a painting. Your life is mental studio art.
Below is another image that came to me when I started writing the below pieces. It’s an ancient symbol for the “Farr”, which I refer to as the Face of Christ, the Golden Halo, or the Golden Circle. It looks so similar to what AI produced above. The corners, wings, and jeweled circle are in both. There is even an altar in both. It came to me about a year later. The Wings are our shared Wings. The Wings of the Lord of Wisdom, or Ahura Mazda. That is what angels, princes, or kings fly on inside the halo. The Jeweled Circle, the Halo, and Wings are not different things. They are the same state of mind of shared innocent reflection and being, where silence moves you, yet you are perfectly still. This is the Royal Power and Glory that becomes your natural state. A priceless jewel.
In ancient times, the fall of angels and our true royal nature were more commonly known. It’s very clear in the ancient literature and art going back to the Sumerian Anunnaki. Wonderful images created by great priests and priestesses tell the story of how the ego made the world and our own ideas of separation enslaved us. Instead of being a host to God, we became a hostage to the ego. They tell the story of winged beings that came to earth that become violent. We see the same imagery in Visionary Artist of Pablo Amaringo.
Their stories are just like those in the Books of Enoch, where angels come down to earth in a human story of the ways of the wicked. They are spiritual sick beings. Enoch’s life is traditionally said to be just prior to the Sumerian tradition. I imagine his teachings were cherished in those days and lacked the mis-translations they have today. If you read them today, you must have the will to awaken the Eye that really sees and have ears that are willing to listen to another Voice.
You will discover that they all speak of the Halo of Luminous Splendor or the Face of God that takes you to another world where angels fly and you receive the Wings of Glory. Very few understand images like these. We are going to discuss it further in “Letters to Self”.
Like the Sumerian, the Zoroastrian tradition is very underrated. It has the same problems that most traditions do. It became a secular religion and the teachings became externalized. That’s what division does. Ideas like the church, temple, fire, altar, and the holy grail it makes into physical things instead of spiritual understanding.
The ego loves to do that because it makes the body, the physical, and possession important. Then it makes TV specials about it like Ancient Aliens, and people eat it up in entertainment. Not that Ancient Aliens doesn’t have value. It does. The point is the ego seeks to make you believe you can find lasting peace with the instruments of the world and tribalism. You must discover salvation comes from the true Spiritual Eye of Light of One Tribe of Light.
"Corrective learning always begins with awakening the spiritual eye, and turning away from belief in physical sight." Jesus ACIM Urtext 2 C 19.
"The Spiritual eye is the mechanism of miracles, because what the Spiritual eye perceives IS truth. The Spiritual eye perceives both the Creations of God AND the creations of man." Jesus ACIM Urtext 1 B 32c
Next to Suhrawardi’s Illumination Vision teachings, the Zoroastrian tradition is the closest teaching to that of Jesus(most accurately taught in A Course in Miracles as the Christ-vision teaching) that we have ever had. After all, who were the wise men that showed up during Jesus’ birth?
When you discover Christ-vision and begin to regain your angelic nature in understanding through vision, your whole world glows in non-corporeal Light. You will naturally attract these teachings and understand them. You won’t squawk at them anymore as unimportant. You live life to spread Asha! There is a dark voice in you that wants nothing to do with this.
You will discover the ancient Egyptians understood the angelic fall once upon a time too. The same thing happened to them as to the works of Jesus, Zoroastrians, and Greek Mythology. The teachings held by early generations got externalized and corrupted by the pleasure-seeking mind that believes in control, separate identity, and idols just like with today’s Bible and church.
The work below was done to help you see all this for yourself and help will understand the works of the bible and even A Course In Miracles in whole new way.
Here is one quote from Suhrawardi that inspired this work. The words “Cloak of Royal Power and Value” have different translations from the original texts, as do a few other words. Other variations include “Celestial .....Garment: or Robe: or Body”. And the term "value" can be translated as Glory" This translation comes from Ziai.
Whoever knows philosophy (hikmat) and perseveres in thanking and sanctifying the Light of Lights (Nūr al-Anwār), will be endowed with royal glory (kharreh) and with luminous splendor (farr or farreh ), and as we have said elsewhere, divine light will further bestow upon him the Cloak (Garment/Robe/Body) of Royal Power and Value(Glory).
Such a person shall then become the natural ruler of the Universe. He shall be given aid from the high heavens, and whatever he commands shall be obeyed; and his dreams and inspirations will reach their uppermost, perfect pinnacle.” - Shurawardi - The Book of Radiance -Partaw-Nāma -Hossein Ziai’s translation
Enjoy these recapitulations of Love, Harmony, and Beauty from my Sufi Heart as yours!
A New Vision for You!
The Real Vision of the Son of God is perceived as the Face of Christ in a Golden Halo of Light, as the light of miracle forgiveness shines back to you, giving you Its blessing of atonement. It is a vision of a holy relationship with God and all the illuminated Souls He created. A healing expression of formless light in a Circle of Atonement. Dancing orbs as the One in the many and the many in the One, as Love looks on its Self.
A Natural Grand Division as the Cloak of Royal Power and Glory so close to our original angelic state it makes transfer back to it possible. A limitless angelic winged expression of infinite Love and Beauty that soars on the Harmony of Silent Stillness as our true nature. For it is found even here in the halo, the expression of the Natural Grand Division of the Kingdom of Heaven, as it is in the other world which God created. And heaven and earth shall pass as the Great Peace of God is no longer felt to be experienced as separate states.
The halo is a natural projection outward from God onto the Souls He created, imbuing them with His radiance and loving Will to co-create at one with Him to increase the Joy of the Kingdom. In the Light we join and sing on Heaven’s Wings, as Love’s messengers reflecting the one and only halo, yet perceived as numerous beautiful creations of God together as the one Self. Together in angelic choir we sing Love’s song for all eternity in timeless voices we share with God.
His Holy Spirit, the Voice for God, speaks from a shining Silence whose Great Rays extend forever, reaching out to touch each other in tender gentleness. In this holy instant we recognize the heavenly hue of the eternally new babe reborn, the Son of God, and feel renewed. Soul to soul and heart to heart as One, we hold each other in the Arms of the luminous on Self. For we are born again, baptized in Spirit and Christ-Mind with the Holy One, in the joy of Holy Communion.
The vision of the Son of God stands as a miracle symbol for the Great Church of God, praising Him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection. In the house of the Lord we kneel at the holy altar accepting this vision as the Chalice of Atonement, the true body of Christ, recognizing that in it is the total sum of all Souls God created.
Awareness.
Father,
We Will with You to no longer feel separate from our Source as we drink as one Son from the still waters of Your forgiveness. Our shared cup overflows from the everlasting fountain of Your love’s Presence. You dance and sing a hymn of forgiveness through us to each other, as we teach and learn, there is nothing for You to forgive, having never condemned us. We need only forgive our one and only reflection to remember our shared name as Jesus in You, the Self-extended Son, Your only One.
In our nameless name we pray for the willingness to remember the immortal Light and each other in angelic heritage. To accept the Wings You forged with Your love as a gift for an endless life of effortless living in the perfection of love. The everlasting Arms of the Kingdom’s Power and Glory as the one and only Mind, Will and Life we all share in our Being.
Help us to accept the heavenly image of light You have given for our joint salvation, the Golden Circle, knowing nothing in this world can bring us unshakable peace, but this.
Lead us into the eternal gratitude the Sons of God gladly pay each other as we see, hear, and fear no evil. When others withhold this debt to be paid to the Self to receive our ever-increasing Joy, let us bless them with this gift to receive the miracle gift of the Real World for ourselves through Your Forgiveness.
We thank You for this daily bread as we stand here at the feet of Jesus and He asks us to remember Him.
Brothers,
Hear thy Word and take this Eucharist from my hand by putting on this perfect Body of Light and giving it to your brother. It is a willingness to perceive only our perfection free of all limitations, where you are equal unto angels. Transfer from body to Body of Light, from flesh to Spirit, from guilt to Innocence, and from darkness to Light.
Sit at this table in the presence of your seeming enemies and drink from the holy grail of forgiveness, the Face of Love. Rest in the shining silence and feel the strength of our innocence. On the Wings of the Lord you will be lifted from the weakness of the body prison. From being driven mad by guilt to Love’s innocent yet limitless strength, you will fly again, knowing God saves.
Accept this Self-same gift by remembering to offer its blessing in Thanksgiving to each other, to all those who play with evil. Surrender your voice and your mouth by letting go of your defenses and desiring the experience of the constancy of Christ-vision as your daily bread. Let the salt lose its flavor in favor of the limitless experience of Creation’s Song.
Give up the flawed beauty of differentiation for the beauty of illumination vision in Oneness of His Light. Exchange your dark garments of colored robes and clay for our changeless Body of Light and Awareness as One Self. Be willing to put on this shared raiment as the Face of Christ, and it will shine away all temptation in a circle of atonement like a mist before the sun.
Give up sitting on your throne as the dark knight, oh heroes of the dream. Prodigal Sons, return as the golden ring bearer of the Luciferic Light holding this chalice of atonement. For the sake of Eve’s return, do this, sons of Adam, in the name of our Lady Liberty’s infinite beauty, and the Great Winged Sun will rise on a new dawn, oh sons of morning.
Do this and you will not be hungry and know no thirst. Do this and you will fear no evil and darkness in the night. Do this, my eagles, and you will walk and never grow weary. Do this in remembrance of Me. Do this in remembrance of your Self.
And as you do, you will remember the Cloak of Royal Power and Glory, as all princes do who return to the Father’s Kingdom. You will remember the Kingdom of Heaven is You!

Come learn to fly on the Wings of Ahura Mazda.
Understand that seeking the Golden Halo of Light isn’t seeking an object. It is a state of mind that is a Gift from God as your mind illuminates with the visible light of God’s Being. It is the Circle of Atonement discussed by Jesus. The outward reflection of the inward condition of a holy relationship. Find out for yourself by exploring these teachings and living them.
I will be releasing my work in “The Illumination Chronicle” over the next year. Learn about the true Spiritual Eye Light, the Eye of the Holy Spirit. It is more than just awareness.

It is only you who veils You. Lift this veil by seeking your true reflection in the North Star. Accept the Circle of Atonement of God’s Son, as it extends the innocent Light of God’s Mind beyond the Golden Circle, which can no longer be contained as it unifies the entire field of perception in Love, Harmony, and Beauty.
A true perception of wholeness that illuminates the world in an all-pervading light enveloping all things in the Unity of Being. A vision that lifts you from the body to God’s illuminated Mind in a Singularity of Mind, Will, and Being in Self-sameness in the Light of Creation. The miracle that makes souls one again in the Awareness of that Light.
Accompanied with this vision of formless Light as the Face of Christ is a remembered language of Silence. A Stillness that speaks as the Silence shines away what never was. A communion with the Voice of God that directs the Mind’s co-creative mental extensions as you put on the Perfect Body of Light. Together this Vision and Voice of the one Self are exchanged for the lies of the physical eyes and the noise of human ears, returning us from body identification to Soul identification, as immortal beings of Light in holy communion.
Here the forgotten song is spoken as an endless concord of Love the Father sings to His Sons. The lovely song of Thanksgiving the Sons sing back to the Father in philadelphia, with the Love the Father gave. A song of true forgiveness of your Self, allowing you to see beyond the illusion of differences of the face, body, and the world in a miracle of perfect appreciation for your brothers and this moment.
For the honor of soul-to-soul validity is the maximal service one soul can render unto another in the Now, replacing grievances and preferences in a miracle exchange for the illusion of the world you thought you saw. A world of delusion born of a wish for specialness in exclusion. The unreal shadow world exchanged for the real world illuminated in a specialness of inclusion given to all the Sons of God.
In the Great Appreciation, the expression of perfect love casts out all fear of loving your brothers in a shared identity of the One Self. Here we are freed to give all we have in peace to God’s Son, learning that everything we give we give to our Self. Freed to give without fear of loss, the certainty that giving always results in increase dawns on our holy minds. An increase of love, joy, and peace as the wealth of the Light is fully shared.
No longer afraid to deny the limitless joy your brother brings as the willingness to deny the appearance of all else, a miracle has come to heal God’s Son. An arc of golden light that bridges the little gap between seemingly separated minds. It starts as just a spark of light, a shimmering star that shines through the darkness and density of the forehead. In your forgiveness it grows, revealing a great and shining circle of God’s love as the Golden Cloak of Power and Glory.
Joined in the Single-mindedness of Christ-Vision, a fixed determination to see beyond the body, Silence is treasured as the shared sacred Heart. In quietness of mind, the body fills with Light as the Face of Christ expands from the crown of the head to the solar plexus, as light is extended from mind to body.
It is from there the Light is no longer contained, touching all things in God's gentleness. No longer saving the face of the ego, the shining silence of the Mind of God’s Son eclipses the darkness in a total eclipse of the Heart, as the angel breaks free from the self-imposed chains of the body-mind.
This is the healing vision of the Son of God who remembers the Sons of God. Brothers who worked together to solve their common problem to achieve this Universal Symbol of Forgiveness and God’s Love.
Seek true North and you will find our Royal Value.
From the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, good will to all from now until the last...
Amen
In closing
Thank you reading this message of Love, Harmony, and Beauty. Perhaps you will look at this symbol differently now.
I look forward to writing and creating more art work like this from my Sufi Heart to Yours!
Let me know what you thought of this art of truth.
Much Love,
Isaiah
