BEING

"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!"

- Sufi Master, Ibn Arabi (25 July 1165 – 8 November 1240)


Silence does not need sound, but sound needs silence in order to become a sound. 

A blank paper does not need a writing, but a writing needs a blank paper in order to become a writing.

Nothing does not need something, but something needs nothing in order to become something.

The dance of complimentaries, gathering of opposites, between silence and sound, blank paper and writing, nothing and something. 

BEING.
