Red Lataif – Essence of Strenght

This aspect of the Essence helps us overcome feelings of powerlessness, weakness, and the tendency to feel like a victim. It allows us to counter old, past-related conditioning—which makes us feel small and unable to separate ourselves from what is known and familiar—and to emerge. Its vigor and zest for life make us capable of asserting and expanding as individuals without fear or insecurity.

The Red Lataif is closely linked to Courage, specifically the courage to be authentic with oneself. It’s the willingness to feel our fears, whether it’s the fear of failure, judgment, or the unknown, and to continue moving forward toward what we want to achieve. It’s a natural resilience that opens us up to experiencing new aspects of ourselves.

On a spiritual level, the Red Lataif represents the embodiment of divine strength within us and the drive to align with higher purposes. It encourages the expression of our deepest truths and desires. It reflects the will to manifest our true nature in the world. It leads us to a deeper understanding of our essence and the courage to express it.

This Lataif is about our ability to tap into the inner source of strength and prowess that allows us to engage fully in life, rooted in authenticity and spiritual awareness.

Red Essence and Self-Inquiry

The journey of self-inquiry we undertake during the DLT work is a path of challenge and adventure that always leads us to face the unknown. Each of the five primary Lataifs offers us specific support in exploring ourselves.

The fullness of the Red Essence manifests in many ways to support us during Self-Inquiry. It offers us: strength, energy, expansion, and the ability to face our experience in its truth, even in the face of what is unpleasant or what we are used to avoiding.
