“He (God) it is Who forms you in the wombs as He wills.” (Q. 3:6)These formative forces manifest in magnificent splendors that constantly
confront the cogent observer with nothing short of all-embracing reverence.
Formative etheric forces are metaphysical directives that guide the
genetic expression of whatever life-form follows. They are created constructs
that refine, direct and develop the elemental formative art so profusely
manifest in the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms. One might think of
them as the Word ‘Be” gone forth to manipulate and enliven genetic
components after their extraction and elevation from the mineral kingdom.
Once expressed at the human level, the designated incarnate soul is
imprisoned in a pre-formed body and remains so, more or less, till death. In
the interim, this restrained soul is subject to insults from all kingdoms –
astral, human, animal and mineral – and will react to them vigorously
according to inherent faculties and superlatively ‘hidden’ reserves such as
stem cells and fibroblasts, etc. However, there may come a point in a person’s
earthly life when forces inherent in the non-human kingdoms overwhelm the
human according to his/her singular capacities^34 and proclivities such as
gluttony, for example. When this occurs, laws governing the animal, plant,
and mineral kingdoms modify and/or degrade or distort the human form and
subsequently inhibit→ prevent→ destroy inherent functions that maintain
the capacity for otherwise truly human expressions of health.
Bearing this empirical theorem in mind, let us consider cancer for a
moment. Without a doubt, cancer is the number one pandemic of the
modern world. Never before has mankind witnessed the likes of its current
multiplicity of deformations of physiological chaos. The materially oriented
scientist seeks an answer (cure) in particulate matter and gives but a faint nod
to the psychology of ‘stress’ as a contributing factor in the immune
suppression process that contributes to cancer’s advantage, but never fully
recognizes the metaphysical life forces that govern formative human
processes.^35 Ultimately, cancer represents the active destruction of what was
once superbly formed or ‘crafted’ by the Word ‘Be’ of Al-Musawwir, hence, it
is an accelerated return to chaos (disorganization and death) that reduces the
‘living form’ to its material (non-living) elemental components. Therefore, its

(^35) As stated above: Genes, allegorically speaking, are little more than tools manipulated by Al-
Mussawwir’s Word.
