Explaining the Theory of the Summation of Mystical Similitude and Purification

Abstract:
"Similitude" means regarding God as similar to humankind, and "purification" means regarding God exempted from the defects in creatures. Many consider the relationship between the two as incompatible, whereas in religious texts, purification is associated with similitude, and there is similitude in the midst of every purification. At first, the summation of similitude and purification seems contradictory. How is God, who is exempted from the defects of creatures, closer to them than the vein in their neck? Theoretical mysticism has explained this issue by presenting an ontological system. With a supposition non-conditioned at the state of division, the essence of the Truth is exempted not only from similitude but also from purification. The station of essence can be regarded beyond similitude and purification because no creation can get to that station. On the basis of the particular unity of being, the truth is a real essential being that pervades everywhere. After the station of Essence, everything other than God is the manifestation and state of God, with an existence by- accident, and of course, an actual fact. The infinite existence of the Truth is present in and beyond the heart of every particle. This infinite existence has a comprehensive distinction, and encompasses all its manifestations existentially. Therefore, in the station of multiplicity, the Truth exists infinitely in the heart of every particle and fills it, but at the same time, it goes beyond it. Therefore, all manifestations of God are and are not the truth at the same time; in the sense that creation is the truth; but the Truth is not just creation, but also beyond creation.
