By a variety of forms of existence, what in knowledge is non-existent, absolute non-existence, has no relation to existence in some way. This is unreasonable. Understand and verify this principle. Then know after this that the reality of absolute imagination is what is called blindness, which is the first circumstance before the existence of truth.

It was reported in the Sahih that it was said to the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, where was our Lord before He created His creation.

Rather he said this because the blindness according to the Arabs is the thin cloud under which is air and above it is air. Five beings are in the dark, which is what we have mentioned, and they are in the throne, which is His saying, the Most Merciful over the Throne, and He is in the heavens in the

His saying, "Our Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven."

And being on earth, which is his saying, He is God in the heavens and on the earth, and a general being, and he is with the existents on their ranks wherever they are, as he explained that in Our Right. He said while he is with you wherever you are. It should be attributed to her from that: there is no god but He, the Mighty, so no one reaches knowledge or attainment of His truth, the Wise who descended upon His servants in His words. The realized imagination, do you not see it accept the forms of all beings, and depicts what is not a being, this is because of its vastness, so it is the eye of the blind and nothing else, and in it all existents appeared, and it is expressed by the outward appearance of the truth in His saying: He is the first and the last and the outward and the hidden. If the connected imagination judges him, then what do you think of the absolute imagination, which is the entity of truth in it, which is blindness, from that power the connected imagination controlled it, then the law came in places that determine what the connected imagination controlled from the entity of truth in the kiss of sucking Me and in the face of the one who is praying him, the connected imagination accepted him, and it is one of the aspects of the absolute imagination, which is the universal presence and the comprehensive rank, and this blindness rises from the soul of the Most Merciful, from being a god, not from being a Merciful only. And had it not been for what was mentioned in the law, the soul would not have called it with our knowledge of it, and the basis of that was the ruling on love, and love has movement in the lover, and the soul is a movement of longing for the one with whom you love and is attached to him in that breath is pleasure and pleasure.

The Almighty has said, as stated, I was a treasure that I did not know, so I wanted to be known.

With this love, the breath occurred, and the breath appeared, and it was blindness. That is why the name of blindness was applied to it, because the blindness that is clouds is generated from vapors, which are the same elements because of the rule of heat. For this attention he called it blindness, then he denied it the air that surrounds it as it surrounds the body of the clouds and the air drains it wherever it wants, so it is denied. That this blindness be controlled by someone else, since it is the closest of the existents to God who is from Himself. So when this blindness has lived in the entire void, which is the place of the world or its circumstance, since if the world were to exist, the void would become apparent, and it is an illusory extension in a non-body, then this blindness is the truth with which everything is created. It is called the Truth because it is the essence of the soul, and the soul is embedded in the breather, thus it is sensible, for the soul has the rule of the inner. Then there appeared in the eyes of this blind the dominant spirits of the angels, and they are not angels, rather they are pure spirits. Then the images of the races of the world continue to appear in it, little by little, and by stage after stage, until it was completed in terms of its types. From existence to existence Not from non-existence to existence, so He created Adam from dust, and He created the children of Adam from a drop of water, which is insulting water. People are created from blindness and the people of the world are also created from blindness and from its types. Nothing was created from non-existence that cannot exist, rather it appeared in fixed objects, which is our saying at the beginning of this book, praise be to God who created things from nothingness and non-existence from non-existence in that they had no eye. The apparent and non-existence and non-existence of any, and if it does not have an eye, then this eye of existence appeared on the reality, so it destroyed the first non-existence that was
