Mansur Al-Hallaj (858–922) Persian mystic, revolutionary writer and teacher of Sufism
Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis (1978) by Steven T. Katz, p. 92; four centuries later the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart would make a very similar assertion: "The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love."<br>Variant translations:<br>I saw my Lord with the eye of the heart. I asked: Who art Thou? <br/> He answered: Thou.<br>As quoted in Sufism : The Mystical Doctrines and Methods of Islam (1976) by William Stoddart , p. 83<br>I saw my Lord with the eye of the heart<br>And said: "Who are you?" He answered: "You!<br>As quoted in In the Company of Friends : Dreamwork Within a Sufi Group (1994) by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, p. 86<br>I saw my Lord with the eye of the heart, and I said "Who are you?" and he said "Your Self."<br>As quoted in The Modern Alchemist : A Guide to Personal Transformation (1994) by Iona Miller, p. 119<br>I saw my Lord with the Eye of my heart,<br/> And I said: Truly there is no doubt that it is You.<br/> It is You that I see in everything;<br/> And I do not see You through anything (but You).<br>As quoted in "Husayn ibn Mansur al-Hallaj" at Sidi Muhammad Press http://www.sufimaster.org/teachings/husayn.htm <br class="br">Context: I saw my Lord with the eye of my heart.<br>He said, "Who are you?" I said, "I am You."<br>You are He Who fills all place<br>But place does not know where You are.<br>In my subsistence is my annihilation;<br>In my annihilation, I remain You.
“I know the place.
It is true.
Everything we do
Corrects the space
Between death and me
And you.”

“So if you are doing all you can, I want you to know I'm proud of you!”
Ysabella Brave (1979) American singer
"I'm Proud of You!" (4 June, 2008) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v0lmI_9m9M <br class="br">Context: So rare that we are told that we are doing just great, and good enough. So if you are doing all you can, I want you to know I'm proud of you! And I wanted to pass that along. And I hope you feel it, and that you know you're doing ok, 'cause you know. Despite what everyone else is saying, you'll know, and I hope you do!
