The lower soul, the Devil, and the Angels are not realities external to you. You are them. So too Heaven, Earth, and the Divine Throne are not outside you, nor are Paradise, Hell, Life, or Death. All exist withn you, as you will realize once you have accomplished the initiatic journey and become pure.

About Najmuddin Kubra

Najm ad-Dīn Kubrà (1145 – 2 July 1221) was a 13th-century Khwarezmian Sufi from Khwarezm and the founder of the Kubrawiya, influential in the Ilkhanate and Timurid dynasty. His method, exemplary of a "golden age" of Sufi metaphysics, was related to the Illuminationism of Shahab al-Din Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardi as well as to Rumi's Shams Tabrizi. He was student of Ruzbihan Baqli in Spiritualism. He died during the Mongol invasion and massacre after refusing to leave his city (Konye-Urgench), where he fought in hand-to-hand combat against the Mongols on 2 July 1221.
