			" The salat, praying five times a day, is the second. It is an extremely rapid exercise in intense meditation. You must, wherever you are, at home, at work, or in transit, stop what you are doing , face Mecca, and try through the discipline of concentration to transcend your daily problems and put yourself in contact with the divine, and do all this in a very short period of time. " <ref>Mernissi, Fatima. Women and Islam: An Historical and Theological Inquiry. Translated by Mary Jo Lakeland. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1991. p. 27.</ref>

			Sonnet of Awakening

			<pre>"With brain o'erworn, with heart a summer clod,
			With eye so practised in each form around,--
			And all forms mean,--to glance above the ground
			Irks it, each day of many days we plod,
			Tongue-tied and deaf, along life's common road;
			But suddenly, we know not how, a sound
			Of living streams, an odour, a flower crowned
			With dew, a lark upspringing from the sod,
			And we awake. O joy of deep amaze!
			Beneath the everlasting hills we stand,
			We hear the voices of the morning seas,
			And earnest prophesyings in the land,
			While from the open heaven leans forth at gaze
			The encompassing great cloud of witnesses. "<ref>http://www.sonnets.org/dowden.htm#202</ref>

			"When and how my ideas come I know not, nor can I force them. Those that please me I retain in my memory and am accustomed, as I have been told, to hum them to myself. If I continue in this way, it soon occurs to me how I may turn this or that morsel to account. ... All this fires my soul, and, provided I am not disturbed, my subject enlarges itself, becomes methodized and defined, and the whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished in my mind, so that I can survey it like a fine picture, or a beautiful statue at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them as it were all at once. What a delight this is I cannot express. All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream. But the actual hearing of the whole together is after all the best. And this is perhaps the best gift I have my Divine Master to thank for" (Holmes' Life and Correspondence of Matari (London, 1845), pp. 317-18.)<ref>Quoted in Jones, Rufus Matthew.

			"To come now to mysticism; the mystic differs from the ordinary religionist in that whereas the latter knows God through an objective revelation whether in nature or as embodied in the Bible (which is really only second-hand knowledge, mediate, external, the record of other people's visions and experiences), the mystic knows God by contact of spirit with spirit; cor ad cor loquitur.<ref>Kalisch, Isidor.

			References connected consciousness, and warns against disconnected consciousness, which he calls "single vision" and "Newton's Sleep," perhaps referencing [[Naive Materialism]].

			Now I a fourfold vision see,
			And a fourfold vision is given to me;
			’Tis fourfold in my supreme delight,
			And threefold in soft Beulah’s night,
			And twofold always.—May God us keep
			From single vision, and Newton’s sleep!
