1ence == ¶ In Isaiah 30:7, rāḥā<0xE1><0xB8><0x87> (insolence, strength) becomes a proverbial expression that gives an allusion to the Hebrew etymology insolence. ¶ Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: `Their strength ( rāḥā<0xE1><0xB8><0x87>) [is] to sit still. ( Isaiah 30:7) YLT ¶ == Pride == ¶ In the Book of Job, rāḥā<0xE1><0xB8><0x87> (pride, blusterer) occurs in the Hebrew text and is translated as "proud". ¶ [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud ( rāḥā<0xE1><0xB8><0x87>) helpers do stoop under him. ( Job 9:13) KJV ¶ He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud ( rā

2this world. Every new knowledge—every new self-disclosure, recognized now for what it is—is a new misery. It is only the precedence of God’s mercy over His wrath which eventually alleviates the pain of knowing. ¶ The infinity of knowledge is one of Ibn al-‘Arabi’s frequent themes. In the following he explains one of the terms of the Sufi vocabulary, “quenching” (7), the third in a hierarchy of terms which begins with “tasting” (dhawgq) and drinking” (shurb). The Sufis had often discussed whether the gnostic’s thirst is ever quenched. Ibn al-‘Arabi takes a firm negative stand: ¶ God commanded His Prophet to say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge” (20:114). The thirst of him who

Involves symbolically nullifying an unacceptable or guilt provoking thought, idea, or feeling by confession or atonement. ¶ Withdrawal: Withdrawal is a more severe form of defence. It entails removing oneself from events, stimuli, interactions, etc. under the fear of being reminded of painful thoughts and feelings. ¶ == Level 4 - Mature == ¶ These are commonly found among emotionally healthy adults and are considered mature, even though many have their origins in an immature stage of development. They have been adapted through the years in order to optimize success in life and relationships. The use of these defences enhances pleasure and feelings of control. These defences help us to integrate conflicting emotions and thoughts, whilst still remaining effective. Those who use these mechanisms are usually considered virtuous. ¶ They include: ¶ Altruism

5except him who has no unveiling and does not witness the renewal of creation constantly at each instant and does not witness God as Ever-creating perpetually. Boredom takes place only as the result of unceasing companionship (istishab). (III 506.17) ¶ In the following passage Ibn al-‘Arabi is discussing the nature of “curtaining” (sitr), which is the opposite of disclosure. God does not really place anything be- hind a curtain, but our ignorance pre- vents us from seeing the realities as they are in themselves. “He placed no veil upon you but yourself” (III 215.3). “You are identical with the curtain over your- self” (Ill 229.12). “The greatest of veils are two, one supra-sensory (ma‘n

6So existence is all Real. There is nothing of the unreal within it, since what is understood from applying the word unreal is nonexistence. (III 68.12) ¶ In the fourth passage, Ibn al-‘Arabi points to the paradoxical situation of all existent things— “everything other than God”—in terms of the unreal and the Real. Since the unreal is nonexistent, it cannot exist, yet the world is full of the unreal, or that which is not God. In other words, the cosmos is He/not He, Real/unreal. But inasmuch as it exists, it can only be Real, since the unreal does ¶ not exist. ¶ The unreal becomes manifest in the form of the Real. But the unreal is nonex- istence. It has no existence, while the form is existent, so it is Real. So where

The name “World of Command” derives from many Koranic allusions, one of the most relevant being, “They [the angels] are honored servants who precede Him not in speech and act according to His Command” (21:27). ¶ The world of creation and composition

He replied, "Life of thy father! it were better if thou, too, wert asleep; rather than thou shouldst be backbiting people." ¶ Naught but themselves can vain pretenders mark, For conceit's curtain intercepts their view. Did God illume that which in them is dark, Naught than themselves would wear a darker hue. ¶ Most of the tales within the Gulistan are longer, some running on for a number of pages. In one of the longest, in Chapter 3, Sa'di explores aspects of undertaking a journey for which one is ill-equipped: ¶ == Chapter 3, story 28 == ¶ An athlete, down on his luck at home, tells his father how he believes he should set off on his travels, quoting the words: ¶ ' As long as thou walkest about the shop or the house Thou wilt never become a man, O raw

The name Allah is not outside of this principle, only the Essence, since It is not a correlative term, but the Entity Itself. As soon as we say that It is related to something, we are talking about the “level” of the Essence, not the Essence in Itself. ¶ In the first passage below, Ibn al- ‘Arabi is discussing the spiritual state of “freedom” (hurriyya) achieved by the friends of God. In the last analysis, he says, the creature can never be free. ¶ In reality there is no existing entity that possesses freedom, since the correlations prevent that. The reality of freedom is found only in the fact that the Essence is “Independent of the worlds” (Ko-

12And this is why the expression "that it was good" appears twice; once for the upper and once for the lower unity. So MALCHUT has been united with both aspects - THE ASPECT OF THE SIX EXTREMITIES OF ZEIR ANPIN AND HER OWN SIX EXTREMITIES. Hence, it is written, "Let the earth bring forth bring forth grass" (Ibid. 11), because by now she has been prepared to produce fruit and flowers properly! ¶ The fourth precept: Knowing that all is Unified ¶ The Zohar reveals that perceptions of separation and disunity are illusions caused by the limitations of human consciousness. Belief in the reality of separation and fragmentation is the most potent weapon of the primeval snake, and this belief is the foundation our evil urges and self-centeredness. ¶ The fourth precept IS to know that Hashem is the Elohim. As it is written, "Know this day, and consider it in

The commentators assert that even idolaters are not punished if they live in peace. The secret meaning of circumcision and its relation to the Covenant are also discussed.

15-Hakim al-Tirmidhi’s ques- tions which Ibn al-‘Arabi answers in the Futuhat is “What is prostration (sujid)?” Literally, the word signifies being lowly and bending the head to the ground. As a technical term in the Islamic sciences, it signifies the placing of the forehead on the ground during the canonical prayer (salat); it is the servant’s supreme act of humility before his Lord. In answering al-Tirmidhi, Ibn al-‘Arabi goes to the heart of this richly symbolic act: ¶ Everything which prostrates itself bears witness to its own root from which it is absent by being a branch. When a thing is diverted from being a root by being a ¶ branch, it is said to it, “Seek that which is ¶ absent from you, your root from which

THE SELF AS HOMOTOPY COLIMIT ¶ 6.8.3 Motif Kernels and Instances ¶ We abstract the shape of a motif as a small typed simplicial pattern. The pattern specifies not only which sites are involved, but what kind of wit- nessed adjacency binds them (drift, repair, seam crossing). This keeps motifs in the valuative universe of Chapters 2–3: a motif is not merely “similarity,” it is a witnessed configuration.

Novelty is “not already part of what the structure can return to.” ¶ 6.5.2 Generativity: Assimilating Novelty Without Scattering ¶ We can now state generativity as a property of the time-indexed glued structure. The hocolim at τ is built from witnessed subcomplexes and witnessed seams up to τ. As τ increases, the diagram enlarges (more records, possibly more admitted pairs, more correspondences), and the glued space enlarges as well. Generativity is the claim that enlargement ¶ 1

25at each stage, you have a current identifier and a set of witnessable situations; the “next step” produces a new identifier and emits witness records.

This is the formal shadow of “the self is not a point but an unfolding.” ¶ 3.3.11 Temporal Closure and Return ¶ A trajectory, as defined above, records consecutive steps: each link in the chain connects adjacent times.
