| Abstract | ||
| Man has always been preoccupied with such argumentative existential issues such as his mortal nature, the actuality of God’s presence and the potential existence of a second life that hinders the attainment of a state of self-understanding that remains a perpetual void in all humans alike. Being concerned with such issues, the research draws heavily upon a philosophical approach that builds on Nietzsche’s theory of the eternal return of the same. Nietzsche’s hypothesis is that life is a succession of a repeated sequence that, once finished, is constantly repeated over and over with all pain and joy. This greatly destabilizes the border lines of the present, the past and the future. Subservient to Nietzsche’s theory, are such abstract ideas of Theosophy as ethereal body, astral projection or incubation that help the individual to go through an out-of-self ethereal travel seeking knowledge and more insight in human nature. In light of this, the study seeks to emphasize the idea that knowledge is acquired throw rational as well as irrational meanslike incubation or astral projection as a way of crossing borders of time and space.This idea is highlighted in Murad’s Season of Gazelle Hunting (Mussem Seed Elgezlan)with a question in mind “which type of knowledge is gained as a result?” | ||
