Ch2. E3. Ibn Arabi's Fusus al-Hikam (Seals of Wisdom), Wisdom of Seth

Rasoul Rahbari-Ghazani Music: Amirmohammad Monjezi: https://www.youtube.com/@amirmohamdmonjezi In this video series, I examine Ibn Arabi's chapter on Seth through the commentators. Every reception discloses the receiver’s ontological capacity. The mirror image, the two bricks, the hierarchy of seals, and the paradox of knowing and not knowing are not metaphors but technical claims about how manifestation works. Guiding questions: What kinds of requests do humans have, and how do they differ? Should we ask God to grant what we request or be content with what we have? How does Ibn Arabi distinguish kinds of obtaining knowledge of fixed entities? Ibn Arabi says, God's and human knowledge are equal when "looking into the fixed entities." Are they really equal? Is God's knowledge of fixed entities native or foreign to Him? According to Ibn Arabi, are divine Attributes and Essence identical or distinct?   My latest book: Sarayān: The Real’s Permeation: Ibn ʿArabi on the Divine Presence in the Cosmos with Neoplatonic Insights (available in both digital and print formats): https://immortalechoes.org/pages/our-press Visit our ⁠Academy of Mystic Poetics and Philosophy⁠, and check out our courses: https://immortalechoes.org/pages/courses If you enjoy the content and wish to ⁠support our work⁠, your generosity helps us continue creating: https://immortalechoes.org/pages/donations Watch more from our Ibn Arabi Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqkz7b_183HG0qkYvbH9dyTAWnncKZGLp&si=sCNGBNjB7RRRIZat My recent publications: https://istanbul.academia.edu/RasoulRahbariGhazani #IbnArabi #Sufism #IslamicMysticism #SpiritualWisdom #UnityofExistence #onenessofbeing #wahdat_alwujud
