Analyzing the compatibility of symbolism with the two bases of the originality of existence and the originality of essence

Symbolism in the field of metaphysics is a method that has always been considered and widely used in various religious and mystical and philosophical schools, as well as traditional arts such as Iranian Islamic art. Applying this method requires providing its own existential and epistemological foundations. Given that metaphysical symbolism is related to the realm of existence, and in Islamic wisdom, the originality of existence and the originality of essence are the two foundations that have been proposed in the field of ontology and each has its own supporters, so this study seeks to answer this question. Are these two bases compatible with symbolism? Which is preferable to the other and what are the reasons for this preference? Given that the basis of the originality of existence provides a deeper look at existence, and also the metaphysical symbolism is based on the gradiation and the hierarchy of existence, so it is consistent with the originality of existence and this is preferable to the originality of essence Provide symbolism theory.
