“[Idries Shah advised that if] the question is asked repeatedly and clearly: will it be healed or won’t it be?

“The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flashes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The dive vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links.”

Pg 99 Among the Dervishesby Omar Burke.”
