I get the idea, thank you very much Iamthat

I was in a religious school with so much practices, rules and beliefs. The more I stayed there, the bigger my frustration grows. I ended up leaving and seeking spirituality, but inside still have like "hatred" towards exoteric teachings.
With your explanation I understand there is a good reason for exoteric teachings to be there and I feel a big relief inside. Thank you!

By the way, I love your user-name, "Rishi". My spiritual mentor was the first female Mahamandeleshwara in the orders of Shankara and the spiritual name that she gave me was that of one of the immortal Rishis of India. I love your user-name.

Since you seem sincerely interested in the depths of Ib'n Arabi's non-dualistic wisdom, I sent you a private message regarding this. I am aware that you are a "newbie" here and might not be familiar with the private messaging feature so I just wanted to alert you to check the message that I just sent you.

As you now know, it's from an unpublished translation of the Fustus and the translator gave me permission to share it with those who are sincerely interested but NOT in a public forum until the Fustus translation is finalized and published.

I'm glad that it touched you. I personally loved it.
