I believe the following book "Meditations" from Marcus Aurelius (The last greatest Roman Emperor) serves the purpose of this forum and does it greatly. Find the book for free on a simple google search or here is a Link

Stoicism is incredibly fascinating actually, I am reading articles about it right now. The concept of Stoicism is very similar to what is taught on this forum.
I find indications that the comprehension of Stoicism may be subject to misconception though, such as that it claims here that they believed "everything is rooted in nature" but what I am certain is meant by nature is by source and not like "mother nature".
If the indications are right, Stoicism is virtually identical to the concept taught by the forum. It also shows there were sound people around those ages.
Perhaps Stoicism is a remnant of Eysua's true teachings, because obviously they support both the forum teachings, Quran and the Biblical Gospels (as interpreted objectively). Stoicism was popular until Christianity took over, which is quite some sect.
Be well Q. A. A.

Reminds me of the wisdom in Ecclesiastes, not the same message, but the point is, why we never hear of enlightened serfs? Perhaps because they never leave history behind them? I am starting to think there is something specific behind the 'malakateh' (a ruling class?) and why would they be in subjection to Adam. Immanuel, are you by chance from the royal family?

ملىكة contains a linguistic finesse of the Arabic language which I call the unsubstantiated Ye ى. The way it works is by not conveying substance except that it is hypothetical and so the word in question is not true except in theory and the only way I can translate it into English is "to-be-melak" or "Melak-in-testing/training" or "Potential Melak".
The subjection to Adam is the test itself, being scrambled/blurred/jammed (ابلس) from the origin, have to grow and that (while) deluded. The subjection means that they literally are Adam, they are subjected to Adam very literally, and Arabic is an upfront language so if it says subjected to it means they experience Adam personally. Adam is your body, that is an Adam or Homo sapiens as human scientists call the primate species of the mammal subgroup of animals.
All of you are ملىكت, that you have to understand, but your aim should be to be Maleyk not Male'k (unsubstantiated). A substantiated Ye occurs only once in Quran and that is in 54:55 as مليك (unless my search function is bugged). Check it. But that is a grammatical form, merely ملك is your descriptive role.
Be well Q. A. A.
