Pathology of Family as Approached by Halqeh Mysticism (Erfan-e Halqeh)

Identity of an individual has a dual aspect: quantitative identity, and qualitative identity or insight. Nowadays, man has found his logical identity, but has not yet acquired an insightful identity; consequently, the resultant da mages have also affected his familial ties. Family identity depends on the identity of family members that depends on their perception of themselves, the why-s and purposes of existence, and God. Thus a sound family, and therefore a sound community come to life once man has comprehended his mission in the universe through establishing a link to the 'Whole' that is achievable through mysticism (Erfan).
