What is Real? Modern Man and Illustion
The movement of Husayn ibn ʿAli aimed to raise humankind from the shadows of darkness into the Light of the Real. He rose to revive the wholeness the Prophetic Message at a time when spiritual and governmental corruption sought to blur the edges of Reality.
This series is an exploration of how we are imprinted by pseudo-events and illusion: a world that is created to make us perceive reality in particular ways. It formats the social consciousness and molds our individual souls. Its goal is to make us perceive reality less and to see only within the confines of a pseudo-world of pseudo events: a hall of mirrors.
This illusion is after our attention and energy.
The Divine Light that radiates from the epic of al-Husayn (‘a) is our corrective that focuses our vision on The Real.
