Experiencing freedom
(Quotations from Titus Burckhardt)
- Muhyi-d-Din ibn 'Arabi in his The Wisdom of the Prophets, the chapter on Seth:
- In his essential Reality... and in his spiritual function... he knows (in a global
and undifferentiated way) all that of which he is ignorant by his bodily constitution
(which is subject to the conditions of time and space)... He knows and at the same
time does not know; he perceives and at the same time does not perceive
(his principial
knowledge being beyond distinctive perception); he contemplates
(the Divine Realities in his spirit) and yet does not contemplate (them individually)...
(p. 80)
