The first step in moving forward is of the nature of attention. Through awareness, my attention is drawn to the deepest treasure of my being: the spiritual heart. Now that I am connected to the source of awareness, I begin to ponder and realize that my existence transcends mere skin, flesh, and bone.
In ponderation, I follow the flow of life being pumped by my spiritual heart. Ponderation is rooted in awareness. There is no need for extra effort; my spiritual heart naturally flows with the Names of Allah—those very Names that Allah taught to humanity:
“And He taught Adam the Names, all of them; …” (Quran, 2:31)
It is the same spirit that Allah breathed into humanity, because of which the angels were commanded to prostrate:
“And I breathed into him of My spirit …” (Quran, 38:72)
Ponderation is the act of following the current that Allah has initiated. While awareness immerses me in the waters, ponderation enables me to swim within them. Through this swimming, my perspective on existence begins to transform.
In the quest of finding my “self”

Before this world
and after this world
