Intriguing relations.
Lucifer, Bringer of light.
Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi Introduced Ishraqi philosophy or illuminationism and founded the school of illumination.

You've found the book of the lock and key?

Re: The Stairway to Heaven
Well firstly welcome Et_Magnum to the Oracle Forum community and thank you for your post. Obviously, many thanks to Hope for rolling this topic out in the first place and Koguntetsu for attaching the thread of illuminationism, which has hidden it's light under a western bushel, if you'll excuse the stab at intellectual humour, which has failed for I hear no belly laughter even in my own head!
So we find that this wholly eastern, of Persian origin I believe, philosophy which draws on ancient Iranian philosophical disciplines, Avicennism (Ibn Sina’s early Islamic philosophy), Neoplatonic thought (as modified by Ibn Sina), and combines these with the original ideas of Suhrawardi himself, passed the Western world by under a very low light, because it was never translated into Latin. In fact according to Hosein Nasr, Suhrawardi was unknown to the west until his some fifty written works were translated to western languages by contemporary thinkers such as Henry Corbin (1903 to 1978), and indeed still remains largely unknown even in countries within the Islamic world.
However, my question is to Et_Magum, does 'the book of the lock and the key' refer to later exponents of illuminationism, for it is not a title among Suhrawardi's 50 written pieces, as in the birthcode?
Whereby a human's birthcode is depicted as a 3 digit number, and is therefore similar to a three-digit combination lock that will help open the door that is containing your Spiritual Essence. Thus through your thymus the birthcode reconnects you to your soul.
This works on the principle that before we enter the physicality of this realm, our Spirit chooses many aspects of our life on this earth such as the time and place we are to be born and who our parents will be. These choices are reflected in our birthcode.
Which vaguely fits with Suhrawardi's argument that light operates at all levels and hierarchies of reality. Where light has the freedom of expression to produce both immaterial and substantial lights, including immaterial intellects (angels), human and animal souls, and even 'dusky substances', such as flesh and blood bodies.

Re: The Stairway to Heaven
Dear Redbeck, ever vigilant in shedding light upon various aspects of knowledge. I'm glad that you were able to find more information on the subject of illuminationism as it can be a bit of a daunting task compiling relevant data together.
(Nutcase alert: please proceed with an open mind)
However I also feel the desire to ask about "The book of the lock and key". While it sounds familiar, it only brings to mind references to "books" I hath discovered whilst delving into the reaches of the Astral plane. Such works as "the book of octaves" as I like to call it. The book itself isn't physical yet calls forth a physical image to help my brain interpret the information (I could only assume). The book has only 8 pages but what intrigued me more was the pages themselves. Each page was metal and had a different color and when touched, tapped, and rubbed with a finger, it produced a different note and I noticed when lifting the page it made new sounds as the sounds reverberated through the air. The pages, in order of appearance, were light blue, almost a faded Jean like blue. Then grey, red, black, emerald, purple yellow and dark blue. The colors and meaning are still an enigma as it doesn't follow and discernable pattern. What I found most interesting was when I fanned the pages out and tapped/strummed on the pages to make music the reality around me seemed to alter as if the sounds and frequencies of the music were creating the visions I saw.
Everything is frequency.
This brings me to my next question. Is "The book of the lock and key", in similar fashion, a metaphysical book in the realms of the Astral plane? All endeavors I have made to find information on such a book were for naught.

Re: The Stairway to Heaven
Another thought Kogungtetsu, mildly tangential you understand.
Not that I’m an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but given that Suhrawardi's works display extensive developments evolved from a basis of Zoroastrian ideas and ancient Iranian thought, perhaps this is the 'the book of the lock and the key'.
Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic religion, originating in Iran of a dualistic nature (Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu), but with an additional array of six important divine entities known as the Amesha Spentas. In modern Zoroastrianism they are interpreted as aspects or emanations of Ahura Mazda (the Supreme Being), who form a heptad that is good and constructive. They are directly opposed to an alternative group of seven who are evil and destructive. It is this persistent conflict between good and evil that distinguishes Zoroastrianism from monotheistic frameworks that have only one supreme power. By requiring its adherents to have faith and belief in equally opposing powers Zoroastrianism characterises itself as dualistic.
The teachings of Zarathustra (Zoroaster) appeared in Persia at some point during the period from 1700 from 1800 BC. His wisdom became the basis of the religion Zoroastrianism, and influenced the development of the Iranian branch of Indo-Iranian philosophy across the board. Zarathustra was the first who treated the problem of evil in philosophical terms. He is also believed to be one of the oldest monotheists in the history of religion. He espoused an ethical philosophy based on the primacy of good thoughts (pendar-e-nik), good words (goftar-e-nik), and good deeds (kerdar-e-nik).
The works of Zoroaster and Zoroastrianism also had a significant influence on both Greek and Roman philosophy, which in essence was unlocked. For instance much of Plato’s ideology is based on the thoughts of chairman Zoroaster.
However, before I leave let me give you another tracker's milestone on the trail from the thoughts of Rumi, a 13th-century Persian Sunni Muslim poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic. Also Persian and a few centuries younger.
