Corrections & Additions: 1. "Threat" obviously isn't a verb. 2. I could have been a little more clear in the discussion about male-female union that it is primarily meant in the symbolic sense of the active-passive coming together, although the physical aspect of two humans "joining" is obviously a reflection or manifestation of that. 3. The standard three-letter root of Qur'an is not "Qaf, ra, 'ayn" but rather "Qaf, ra, hamza"

The Creation is travelling from FORM to FORMLESS creation - Man is the Book of Alif-Laam-Meem & Woman is the Book of Alif-Laam-Ra as Woman is your Dress and Man is the Dress of Woman. In the end Creation is not Male or Female rather Praiseworthy or Blameworthy by the scale of Seerah & Knowledge of God

Is there any content that you don't make that isn't copy-catting others while trying to set yourself up like a typical white Ivory Tower gatekeeper over these topics? That aside, your coverage of the fusus is incomplete without covering Hasan Hasanzadih Amuli's 28th chapter on Fatima and my 29th chapter on Ali Muhammad Shirazi as its epilogue.

My favourite passage from Fusus Al Hikam: "Do you not see how the child has an effect on the older person by the special quality the child has? The older person descends from his leading position to play with the child and rock him in his arms and to show himself at the child's level of intellect he descends to the level of the child's intellect. He is under subjugation even though he is not aware of it. He occupies himself with instructing and protecting the child, seeing to his needs and consoling him so that the child is not distressed. All this is part of the effect of the young on the old. That is due to the strength of his station. The young has a new covenant with his Lord because he has newly come into being. The old person is further from Him. Whoever is nearer to Allah subjects whoever is further away from Him"

@fareedal-bandar2953 Ай бұрын
I thought along similar lines. Maybe the 28th is up to us. Maybe it's so esoteric he cannot put it down in words. Or maybe it's a nod to the fact that no human being (not even Ibn Arabi or even the prophet pbuh himself) can have every "bezel of wisdom", nobody but God can have perfect/complete knowledge and wisdom. The last one specifically is a very important theme in the Islamic mind. From the beginning (as seen in the Quran itself in Sura Yusuf 76 "وفوق كل ذي علم عليم" my rough translation: "and above every person with knowledge is the All-knowing"). All the way up untill today, at least in Iraq (maybe Philip can ask his in-laws 😉) nobody can get a perfect score in the essay part of the Arabic test, no matter how well they write, because perfection in Arabic prose is reserved to the Quran.

The mirror as metaphor is very powerful. As you say, a place of reflection of image. Equally it can be seen as a place of revelation. Of image, or form. This is why Ibn 'Arabi in poetic form can express that his heart, his mirror, has "become capable of every form" (tarjuman al ashwaq). It is capable of revealing all the forms that Reality has ever expressed Itself as.

One possibility for the 27, is to leave it deliberately incomplete, as if to say "you, reader..."; another is that 28 went further, and he dedicated the 28th to himself and said "we are all God" and it was censored. It is very common when pages or items are missing from sacred works that they were removed. It is commonly suggested that the ending of Mark concluded that Jesus was a great man, blessed but not of God, and that those who say so exaggerate - and this was removed as inconsistent with the next generation of gospels.

WOW. THE MIRROR. PhD in Philosophy reporting here. Easily the best book ever written on Derrida as a figure in the history of philosophy is called “The Tain of the Mirror” by Rodolphe Gasché. Gasché uses a very similar analogy - but about how the tain is that which turns a plate of glass into a mirror (a reflective surface) but which we can never see insofar as it’s doing its work of causing a reflection, I.e., in being what it is, it escapes being grasped.

I've got no PhDs unfortunately. Skipped out on school entirely to pursue a career in film. I've been writing a script about an actress having some sort of mental breakdown where she sees herself in different moments of life where she can't differentiate from dreams, or reality. It's what brought me here after doing a deep dive in psychology (mostly Jung) and eventually esoteric religions. I've been seeing patterns in all religions. It sort of swirled me back into reading the Bible and I started noticing how the apostle Paul makes reference to this mirror. He says it in 1 Corinthians 13. And again in 2 Corinthians 3:18. I've had this theory of my own that reality is a sort of an illusion and all of our suffering is caused by our own attachments of these illusions that we create. Kinda like when you get heartbroken after you fell for this idea that the boy or girl of your dreams was perfect for you Depending how attached you are to this image, will reflect on how much suffering you cause to yourself and others. Maybe these are universal truths that are also reflected in every religion. Oddly enough, our very own religions tell us not to attach ourselves to them. In the 10 commandments, it's commanded not to place other gods before him, or carve any images in place of him. Mirror analogy makes perfect sense in that it is a fragile object. It eventually breaks. The title to my screenplay is "entre espejos." Spanish for "through mirrors." Cheers.

Of course the main difference is we believe ultimately that God and the Self are one and the same.

Hello again. Interesting that you mention the significance of the 28 chapters of the Fusus al Hikam and correlate it with the 28 letters of the alphabet and mansions of the Moon etc. as many do. As you say ibn 'Arabi was very careful with the significance of numbers. Perhaps worthy of some consideration is a further aspect. The 27 chapters of the Fusus wre given to him by Muhammed (forgive me, and spelling). The number 27 is cubic. Three in a cube. Muhammed chapter is of triplicity in Singularity - "three things of your world". The puzzling "invisible" chapter is just that - not a missing one but its very principle - Unseen. Even perhaps the Ka'aba as a cuboid shape can be seen in the same light. Regarding the letters and numbers, the mansions mentioned in the Futuhat and detailed by Burkhardt also reflect this at closer scrutiny, the 28th mansion being the Principle of hierarchisation, place of the final waw of the breath, making the huwa; and again this may be seen in the alphabet as the 27 letters of the alphabet detail the principle of the Alif. Perhaps worthy of contemplation. Please help with any insights you or other may receive. Cheers.

Thank you for your enlightening programs. When you mentioned the missing 28th chapter it came to my mind that it's perhaps the absolute truth that can't be put in words and therefore no chapter needed. Just a thought... speculating here...

More "compassionate" (moves/feels with you), than only "merciful"(forgiveness).

Bravo, Filip! One small example of a metaphor I have found helpful with the concepts of immanence and transcendence, is to see these concepts as if I was trying to describe someone. For instance, if I were to describe Filip, in terms of what I know, I might describe him as erudite, generous, humble, etc etc, an infinitum of qualities. However, if I were to try and describe him as he is in himself, I would have to say that he just is, otherwise there is no "is-ness" to attribute those qualities to. If, like some philosophers, it is argued that to "be", is a quality, I could say that if there was no "is" there would be no qualities attributed to it, and therefore silence. No "is" means no attributes. Isness in itself is indescribable, as all descriptions are attributed names and qualities. I find this helpful in removing the separation of distance, ie God in a place far away, from an understanding of transcendence as the indescribable Essence of all things. "Closer to you than the jugular vein".
