abstract:
The study seeks to answer the phenomenological question: What in essence is religious experienceâspecifically, the lived experience of âremembranceâ (dhikr) in Sufi practice within the schools of Sufism shaped by the âGreatest Master,â Ibn al-âArabi? The eidetic structure of remembrance is the awakening of the individuated human subject to recollecting the primordial ground of his or her identity as a dynamic instantiation of the Absolute. This is simultaneously experienced as the subject becoming the object of remembranceâthat is, being remembered by the Absolute. This transforms the psychological egoâs relationship to its own embodied, affective, and cognitive living, as the âcenter of gravityâ of that ego shifts from an egocentric oneâthat is, an identification with the natural attitude standpoint of the personal egoâto progressively greater centeredness in the transcendental ego as a locus of ongoing world constitution and primordial self-presence, while nevertheless living as a unique individual.
