Anwar-e Ma`rifat

The intuitionistic facts of the State of Essence are the modes, dispositions and attributes of that indivisible Essence. Since these facts have not been clearly defined and are not decisive factors of the Essence, they are liable to doom in the Essence. Intuitionistic facts don’t create actual multiplicity in the Essence and are hidden in the mystery of the Essence; that is, they are not visible. These facts are true in terms of the unity of the Essence; that is, the modes represent the unity of the Essence. Ibn-e Arabian gnostics use such words like deprecation, intuitionism, secrecy, undiffrentiation, latency, and potency in order to refer to these facts. They give some explanations about the way of the presence of these facts in the Essence on which they depend on existence, and use some examples to make them clearer. Mystically, these facts should be regarded as having a especial kind of metaphorical or accidental existence. This paper discusses intuitionistic facts with emphasis on the State of Essence. The ideals and essential states of the State of Essence are the most important examples of intuitionistic facts in Mohieddini mysticism. The central point of the discussion, however, has a general character and applies to the other examples of these facts.
