The Projective Space of the Divine - Insights from (Muhyiddin) Ibn Arabi

Ibn al-ʿArabī describes how the Single Entity (with many names, many adjectives, and many verbs) projects on the other ‘side’ a single entity (with many properties, many colors, and many variegations). The (only) way this projection works is for the projection screen to be made from earth. Then, the figure of Adam is taught all of these names. Ibn al-ʿArabī uses the metaphor and imagery of the shadow play to help us visualize this process.
