The Real Quotes

“...when do I actually encounter the Other 'beyond the wall of language', in the rel of his or her being? Not when I am able to describe her, not even when I learn her values, dreams, and so on, but only when I encounter the Other in her moment of jouissance: when I discern in her a tiny detail (a compulsive gesture, a facial expression, a tic) which signals the intensity of the real of jouissance. This encounter with the real is always traumatic; there is something at least minimally obscene about it; I cannot simply integrate it into my universe, there is always a gulf separating me from it.”

“So many people will debate and argue about the nature of God, but all the philosophy books in the world are no substitute for genuine personal experience with the Real. The Real is the Radiance of Your Existence and the Expression of Everything. For Allah emanates through all Creation in Divine Resplendence and with Divine Grace.”
