Shahab al-Din Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardi
"Shahāb ad-Dīn" Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardī (Persian: شهابالدین سهروردی, also known as Sohrevardi) was a Persian philosopher and founder of the Iranian school of Illuminationism, an important school in Islamic philosophy and mysticism that drew upon Zoroastrian and Platonic ideas. The "light" in his "Philosophy of Illumination" is a divine and metaphysical source of knowledge. He is referred to by the honorific title Shaikh al-ʿIshraq "Master of Illumination" and Shaikh al-Maqtul "the Murdered Master", in reference to his execution for heresy. Mulla Sadra, the Persian sage of the Safavid era described Suhrawardi as the "Reviver of the Traces of the Pahlavi (Iranian) Sages", and Suhrawardi, in his magnum opus "The Philosophy of Illumination", thought of himself as a reviver or resuscitator of the ancient tradition of Persian wisdom.

So You're Afraid
by: Mark TremontiWhen the light is finally gone
Here the blind can truly see
Oh, the tide has finally turned
Now, the walls they fall on me
How they fall on me
So you're afraid, said, it's a long
Way down
With everything, said, you were hurting
But you're much better now
Now all the time's spent
Oh, the moment's come and gone
Left with what you've come to be
But now your hope is all but lost
The years they've all been such a waste
It's all been such a waste
So you're afraid, said, it's a long
Way down
With everything, said, you were hurting
But you're much better now
Now all the time's spent
So you're afraid, said,
It's all a long way down
With everything, said, you were hurting
But you're much better now
So you're afraid, said,
How it's all erased
With everything fading,
