You clumsy wench—Gods above! Are you trying to rob me, girl?” The nobleman seizes my wrist and yanks it from his pocket. My hand comes up with the pipe clenched in it. I stare at him, horrified. “I . . .” “I’ll have your head for this!” the man rages. “I’ll have you whipped!” *** “I got the pipe,” I say, holding it up. He stares for a minute, blinking, and then bursts into laughter. A few curious deer stick their heads through the shrubs to see what the racket is. Aladdin doubles over, laughing loud enough to startle birds from the trees overhead, and after a moment, I start laughing too. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long, long while, and it feels wonderful. We sit on the grass and laugh until our faces are red and we’re out of breath. “You are the worst thief I have ever seen,” declares Aladdin. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I got it, didn’t I?” “My grandmother could pick pockets better than that! Though that’s not quite fair; my grandmother was the best pickpocket in Parthenia. She taught me all her tricks. Drove my mother crazy.

INVENTING ALADDIN” One thing that puzzles me (and I use puzzle here in the technical sense of really, really irritates me) is reading, as from time to time I have, learned academic books on folktales and fairy stories that explain why nobody wrote them and which go on to point out that looking for authorship of folktales is in itself a fallacy; the kind of books or articles that give the impression that all stories were stumbled upon or, at best, reshaped, and I think, Yes, but they all started somewhere, in someone’s head. Because stories start in minds—they aren’t artifacts or natural phenomena. One scholarly book I read explained that any fairy story in which a character falls asleep obviously began life as a dream that was recounted on waking by a primitive type unable to tell dreams from reality, and this was the starting point for our fairy stories—a theory which seemed filled with holes from the get-go, because stories, the kind that survive and are retold, have narrative logic, not dream logic. Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There’s the magic of it. Scheherazade as a narrator was a fiction, as was her sister and the murderous king they needed nightly to placate. The Arabian Nights are a fictional construct, assembled from a variety of places, and the story of Aladdin is itself a late tale, folded into the Nights by the French only a few hundred years ago. Which is another way of saying that when it began, it certainly didn’t begin as I describe. And yet.

Interesting. And does Abu have anything else to say?" she asked, leaning closer. Cinnamon. Her breath smelled of cinnamon. He could even smell her skin at that distance. Though he wasn't one normally prone to poetry, he could only think of a fresh desert breeze that carried a whisper of cypress and sandalwood. "He wishes there was something he could do to help..." That at least was honest. He wasn't exactly sure how kissing would help her. He just knew it was going to happen or he was going to die. "Tell him I just might take him up on that," the girl said, closing her eyes and tilting her head. Aladdin put his arm around her back and prepared for the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Es bedarf eines gewissen spirituell fortgeschrittenen Zustands, damit wir glauben können, dass es so etwas wie Offenbarung gibt. Das Leben offenbart sich, die Natur offenbart sich, und so offenbart sich auch Gott: deshalb wird Gott in Persien „Khuda“ genannt, was Selbstoffenbarung heißt. Alles Wissen, alle Kunst und alle Kultur, die die Menschen kennen, kamen und kommen als Offenbarung. Anders gesagt: Wir lernen nicht nur durch studieren, sondern beziehen unser Wissen auch von der Menschheit. Ein Kind erbt nicht nur die Eigenschaften seiner Eltern oder Ahnen, sondern auch die Qualitäten seiner Nation und seiner Ethnie, sodass wir sagen können, es erbt die Eigenschaften der ganzen Menschheit. Wenn wir diese Schatzkammer des Wissens hinter dem sie verbergenden Schleier wirklich begreifen könnten, würden wir erkennen, dass wir ein Recht auf dieses Erbe haben. Das gibt uns einen Schlüssel, den Schlüssel zum Verständnis des Geheimnisses des Lebens: dass das Wissen nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen her erlangt wird. So können wir Wissen, das wir durch das äußere Leben gewinnen, Erlerntes nennen; das Wissen, das wir aus dem Inneren herbeiziehen aber können wir Offenbarung nennen. Offenbarung kommt von innen. Sie lässt das Herz sich selbst offenbaren; sie ist wie eine Neugeburt der Seele. Wenn wir dieses Stadium erreicht haben, werden alle Dinge und alle Wesen lebendig: Die Felsen, die Bäume, die Luft, der Himmel, die Sterne – sie alle leben. Wir können nun mit allen Dingen und Wesen kommunizieren. Wohin auch immer unser Blick auf Dinge in der Natur oder auf Persönlichkeiten fällt: Wir lesen darin deren Geschichte und erkennen ihre Zukunft. Wir beginnen mit den Seelen der Menschen, denen wir begegnen, zu kommunizieren, noch bevor wir ein Wort mit ihnen gesprochen haben. Ohne dass wir noch irgendeine Frage gestellt haben, beginnt die Seele schon, ihre eigene Geschichte zu erzählen. Jeder Mensch und jedes Objekt steht vor uns wie ein offenes Buch. Dann hört dieses ständige „Warum“ auf, das wir so oft in Menschen finden. Das „Warum“ existiert nicht länger, weil wir die Antwort auf alle Fragen in uns selbst finden. Trotz all der Gelehrtheit der Welt, die wir beigebracht bekommen, wird nämlich dieses andauernde „Warum“ bleiben, solange diese Antwort nicht eröffnet wurde. Und wieder können wir fragen, wie wir zu solchen Offenbarungen kommen. Die Antwort ist, dass es nichts im ganzen Universum gibt, das nicht im Menschen gefunden werden kann, wenn wir uns nur darum bemühen, es zu entdecken. Aber wenn wir sie nicht selbst herausfinden, kann niemand sie uns geben, denn Wahrheit wird nicht gelernt, Wahrheit wird entdeckt. In diesem Glauben begaben sich die Weisen des Ostens in die Einsamkeit und saßen in Meditation, um der Offenbarung die Gelegenheit zu geben, aufzusteigen. Zweifellos gibt es beim derzeitigen Lebensstil für uns kaum Zeit, in die Einsamkeit zu gehen. Aber das heißt nicht, dass wir weiterhin unwissend über das bleiben sollten, was das Beste in uns ist, denn alle anderen Schätze der Erde sind nichts im Vergleich zu der unermesslichen Glückseligkeit der Offenbarung; sie können nicht einmal damit verglichen werden. Offenbarung ist wie Aladdins Zauberlampe; wenn wir sie erst einmal entdeckt haben, wirft sie ihr Licht nach links und rechts und alle Dinge werden klar. (S. 213 ff.)
