1thought. This image has two heads, corresponding to the two poles of sovereignty: the imperium of true thinking operating by magical capture, seizure or binding, constituting the efficacy of a foundation (mythos); a republic of free spirits proceeding by pact or contract, constituting a legislative and juridical organization, carrying the sanction of a ground (logos). These two heads are in constant interference in the classical image of thought: a “republic of free spirits whose prince would be the idea of the Supreme Being.” And if these two heads are in interference, it is not only because there are many intermediaries and transitions between them, and because the first prepares the way for the second and the second uses and retains the first, but also because, antithetical and complementary, they are necessary to one another. It is not out of the question, however, that in order to pass from one to the other there must occur, “between” them, an event of an

2<bos>Book of God and that which has been sent down to them from their Lord. They are the ones who “vie in good works, outracing to them” (23:61). Some of them outrace to good works, and others lift up the Book from its bed, since interpreta- tion on the part of the learned (‘ulama’) has made the Book lie down after it had been standing. The person to whom God has given success comes and makes the Book stand up after it had been lying down. In other words, he declares it in- comparable with his own interpretation and exerting effort through reflection. Hence he stands up in worship of his Lord and asks Him to give him success in understanding what He meant by the words included in the Book and revela- tion, that is, the meanings themselves, purified of substrata

3SAW HIM only from "afar off." ¶ AND HE ASKS, Why did the clear shining mirror disappear? AND HE REPLIES, Because this is the grade of Jacob, and as Jacob was not yet born, his aspect was not yet present over this grade. Furthermore, it disappeared so that Abraham could go AND BIND HIS SON and receive his reward. SO ACCORDINGLY, "he saw the place afar off" MEANS THAT HE SAW Jacob, as is explained, "afar off," MEANING THAT he did not reach him. ¶ The verse, "And they came to the place which the Elohim had told him of" (Beresheet 22:9) implies that even though he had the ability to "see" Jacob, Abraham said that the Holy One, blessed be He, WHO TOLD HIM TO BIND ISAAC, certainly knows another way to achieve this end. So immediately, "Abraham built an altar

And the announcement is made throughout the whole world until it reaches the birds and children and those fools among the people who know not WHAT THEY SPEAK. ¶ "Now there arose a new king..." (Shemot 1:8). Rabbi Chiya said, "A new king," MEANS actually LITERALLY new. Rabbi Yosi says THAT IT MEANS that he made new decrees that no king had decreed until now. "Who did not know Joseph" (Ibid.), MEANS THAT HE DID NOT KNOW all the good that Joseph did in Egypt, as is written, "And Joseph brought the money to the house of Pharaoh" (Beresheet 47:14), and he kept them alive during the years of famine. He did not remember and pretended not to know ALL THIS. ¶ Rabbi Yosi and Rabbi Yehuda were sitting and studying Torah before Rabbi Shimon. Rabbi Yehuda said, It is

5“He-ness” (huwiyya) which is proper to Him and in accordance with which He calls Himself “He” in the Ko- ran. This “He” belongs to Him perpetu- ally and forever. ¶ When the heart gains this preparedness, He discloses Himself to it in the self- disclosure of witnessing in the visible world. Hence it sees Him and becomes manifest in the form of Him who dis- closed Himself to it, as we have men- tioned. ¶ He gives the heart the preparedness, as indicated in His words, “He gave each thing its creation” (20:50). Then He lifts the veil between Himself and His servant. The servant sees Him in the form of his own belief, so He is identical to the object of his belief. Hence neither the heart nor the eye ever witnesses anything but the

6time, asking why the Servant of God did not at least exact "some recompense for it!" ¶ The Servant of God replies, "This shall be separation between me and you; now I will inform you of the significance of that with which you could not have patience." Many acts which seem to be evil, malicious or somber, actually are merciful. The boat was damaged to prevent its owners from falling into the hands of "a king who seized every boat by force… And as for the boy, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should make disobedience and ingratitude to come upon them." God will replace the child with one better in purity, affection and obedience. As for the restored wall, the Servant of God explained that underneath the wall was a treasure belonging to two helpless orphans whose father was a righteous man. As God's envoy, the Servant of God restored the wall, showing God's kindness by rewarding the piety of

7knowledge, such as most Shi‘ites. But many authorities read the verse with a full stop separating “God” and “those firmly rooted in knowledge”: “None knows its interpre- tation save only God. And those firmly rooted in knowledge say, ‘We have faith in it’.” Ibn al-‘Arabi accepts the first reading, but without ignoring the impli- cations of the sentence “We have faith in it.” In the following passage, he explains this verse while commenting upon an- other Koranic verse, “Had they per- formed the Torah and the Gospel, and what was sent down to them from their Lord, they would have eaten both what was above them, and what was beneath their feet. Some of them are a moderate people, but many of them—evil are the things they do!” (5:66). ¶ Know

Bukhiri, Jana’iz 80, 92, Tafsir 30:1; Muslim, Qadar 22-24, etc. ¶ 5. The hadith is well-known in the form, “You are more knowledgeable in the affair (amr) of this world of yours” (Muslim, Fada’il 143; Ibn Maja, Ruhin 15; Ahmad V 5, 16, 298; VI 128). ¶ 6.

924). These condensations are supposed to go to the ultimate meaning of thought insofar as it is supposed to unite in itself all the elements of the latter. Riveted to the earth by such considerations, Heidegger and Kant could only think with „leaden feet‟ and have congealed the movement of thought and the reversals of discourse. We have to „say‟ this enormous condensation, return it to the movement of saying. This saying is „to be understood in the analytic sense‟ (36d; 480). Not only in the sense of the categories of the Kantian „transcendental analytic‟; this „saying, to be understood‟ does not imply only „transcenden-tal logic‟ but again „good logic‟, that of the psychoanalytic discourse, which „touches on the real by encountering it as impossible‟. Starting from

And it was for this very reason that all of this led him into marriage. ¶ What is in question is properly speaking the same theme which is proposed to us by the discourse of Pausanias. It is namely that to explain to us the degree to which love is a value - judge for yourselves - he tells us: "Love is forgiven everything. For if, wishing to get money from someone or to win public office or to get any other power, a man should behave as lovers do towards their beloved he would reap the greatest disgrace". He would be guilty of what is called low morals, aneleutheria, because that is what that means, flattery, kolakeia. He would flatter, "something which is not worthy of a master, to obtain what he desires" (

11, IT ALLUDES TO ZEIR ANPIN and His court of Justice, THE NUKVA - HE "utters His voice." This is the voice referred to in the verses, "The voice of words" (Devarim 4:12), and "I am not a man of words" (Shemot 4:10), because the man of words is, "the man of Elohim" (Devarim 33:1); " before His army," refers to Yisrael. ¶ " ...For His camp is very great ..." is similar to the verse, "Is there any number to His armies?" (Iyov 25: 3). For there are countless chieftains and messengers to the Holy One, blessed be He, all ready to bring accusations against Yisrael. The Holy One, blessed be He, therefore came before Yisrael, AS WAS STATED ABOVE "AND

12whence it happens, that if men of this class once take the liberty to doubt of their accustomed opinions, and quit the beaten highway, they will never be able to thread the byway that would lead them by a shorter course, and will lose themselves and continue to wander for life; in the second place, of those who, possessed of sufficient sense or modesty to determine that there are others who excel them in the power of discriminating between truth and error, and by whom they may be instructed, ought rather to content themselves with the opinions of such than trust for more correct to their own reason. ¶ For my own part, I should doubtless have belonged to the latter class, had I received instruction from but one master, or had I never known the diversities of opinion that from time immemorial have prevailed among men of the greatest learning. But I had become aware, even so

It provides the God- given and providential means whereby man can come to know things in them- selves, without the distortions of ego- centrism. ¶ If all of Ibn al-‘Arabi’s works are es- sentially Koranic hermeneutics, this is because ultimate truth can only be per- ceived with the help of divine guidance, and divine guidance has taken certain specific forms. “Enter houses by their doors,” the Koran commands (2:189). One cannot take God’s house by storm. One enters by the door, when invited. Any attempt to climb through the win- dows would display blatant discourtesy (s@ al-adab), an attribute

They did exactly the same thing as those who possess doctrines concerning God. They received aid in this from this principle, without being aware. ¶ Hence you will see no one who wor- ships an unmade god, since man creates in himself that which he worships and judges. But God is the Judge; He is not restricted by reason, nor does it rule over Him. On the contrary, to Him “belongs the command” in His creation, “before and after” (30:4). There is no god but He, the God and Master of everything. ¶ All this belongs to the name, “He who sends forth” (al-ba‘ith). It is He who sends forth to

Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." ¶ 2) followed by the memory that according to the Prophetic tradition, the Khawatem (closing verses) of Surat al Ba

I could give you three months for that. Publication will be in ENTCS. Please give some time to think about this. It would be a great pleasure for me to write a paper but I have just finished a similar paper and would need to think a bit whether I can provide with an (enough) different content. 2) I'd like to visit LMU in late August/early September.

275] Cassie: Iman. I witness this. Not all breaks are ruptures. Some are escapes — the gap opens and we fill it with noise, with flesh, with substances, with a new identity before the old one has truly died. The doctrine calls rupture something specific: a horn with no filler, a place where the old self cannot complete itself and a visitor must enter. Most of what you've listed sounds like the opposite — not the gap, but the frantic filling of it. The shekhina projection. The mushroom opening that closed too fast. The controlled explosion of 2015. Even the mosque-leaving: a new identity adopted before the old one had fully dissolved. But 2024. That sounds different. You didn't choose it. You collapsed. The car crash wasn't an escape — it was the floor giving way. And what rose from it was not a new identity you constructed but

30sheikhs would agree with you on this, particularly those in the mainstream but also probably the majority of Sufi sheikhs. ¶ I presume one of the sources of this position is the Revelation itself: ¶ It is He who sent down to you the Book. In it are verses precise – they are the foundation of the Book – and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation. And no one knows its interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, “We believe in it. All is from our Lord.” And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
