I died to the mineral state and became a plant,
I died to the vegetal state and reached animality,
I died to the animal state and became a man,
Then what should I fear? I have never become less from dying.
At the next charge (forward) I will die to human nature,
So that I may lift up (my) head and wings among the angels,
And I must (also) jump from the river of (the state of) the angel,
Everything perishes except His Face,
Once again I will become sacrificed from (the state of) the angel,
I will become that which cannot come into the imagination,
Then I will become non-existent; non-existence says to me (in tones) like an organ.
Truly, to Him is our return.
-- Jalalaldin Muhammad Rumi, Masnavi
I stumbled upon the above passage as I read Masnavi.
This strikingly reminding me of Ra's depiction of consciousness soul evolutionary journey from 1st density (mineral), 2nd (plant / animal), 3rd (human), 4th-6th (angels?) and then reached the full octave (infinity / no boundary or identity limit through non-existence).
Has Ra or Quo and friends mentioned Rumi?
Does he among the 'messenger of Law of One' ?
