All that is, He contains within Himself like thoughts: the world, Himself, the All. Therefore, unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God; for like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure; by a leap [of intellect], free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God.
Believe that nothing is impossible for you; think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, the dry and the moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky; that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once-all times, places, substances, qualities, quantities-you may understand God
Experience shows that the spirit is nothing but awareness. Whoever has greater awareness has greater spirit… When the spirit becomes greater and passes beyond all bounds, the spirits of all things become obedient to it.So to experience your reality as the creator of it, realize that where you are is the center of all that is occurring. This is what it means to be centered. When you think someone, something or somewhere else is the center of what's going on, you are giving your power away to the external world. Move through your world with the consciousness that you are the center of the universe and you will find that you don't really have to shift much as things and people around you shift themselves instead.
Ibnu Arabi 5
It is none other than He who progresses or journeys as you. There is nothing to be known but He; and since He is Being itself, He is therefore also the journeyer. There is no knower but He; so who are you? Know your true Reality. He is the essential self of all. But He conceals it by [the appearance of] otherness, which is "you."
If you hold to multiplicity, you are with the world; and if you hold to the Unity, you are with the Truth .... Our names are but names for God; at the same time our individual selves are His shadow. He is at once our identity and not our identity ... Consider!
Tidak ada lain selain dari Dia yang mencapai kemajuan atau melakukan perjalanan sebagai anda. Tidak ada yang dikenali melainkan Dia; dan kerana Dia adalah pencipta itu sendiri, Kerana itu dia juga yang membuat perjalanan tersebut. Tidak ada Maha Mengetahui melainkan Dia, maka siapa kamu? Ketahui hakikat sebenar diri anda. Dia adalah hakikat diri kepada semua. Tetapi Ia menyembunyikan diriNya dengan [penampilan yang lain], yang adalah sebenarnya "anda."
Jika anda terus mengakui banyak, anda berada dengan dunia; dan jika anda mengakui Kesatuan, anda dengan Kebenaran .... Nama kita sebenarnya nama-nama bagi Allah; pada masa yang sama diri kita masing-masing bayangan-Nya. Dia sekaligus identiti kita dan bukan identiti kita ... Pertimbangkanlah!
