Abstract :
This paper analyzes the role of personality traits of women in their mystical journey.Mystically speaking, female traits cause brighter manifestation of divine beautiful names whereas male traits cause greater manifestation of divine majesty names. Accordingly we may ask whether this differentiation in manifestations could effect men and women's mystical journey and if the transgender view of the mystics about the differentiation in seekers' talents may extend to gender issues. By combining mystical issues and psychological achievements, this study draws the relationship between personality traits of women and seven spiritual stages. Such an approach in analyzing issues related to mystical journey is a novel achievement and has special importance, both in the field of women's issues and the mystical topics. In this study, it becomes clear that the role of female characteristics in her mystical spiritual wayfaring are sometimes helpful and sometimes play a deterrent role; so that the seeker, by knowing how these traits are influencial, can measure a deeper plan for the quality of her spiritual wayfaring.
