Ibin Arabi is from the medieval period, yah? He's an interesting cat. and regarding "Adam represents the totality — the comprehensive form that reflects all divine names in potential. Humanity as microcosm" in regards to his chapters on the prophets, etc...

Thats really neat. And i like to hear about some of these sufi's/sunni muslims, to see what there takes are, granted, the story is alot crazy from the perspective of mid/later Egypt, early Mesopotamia/Ancient Greek, but the sufis are right there (Baghdad, i think?) in the midst of alot of the action, so they sometimes have stuff that gets left out, so its could to keep an eye on that, or so i would say. Hey, everyones ideas are valid, especially in the ancient world where you dont know what you are looking at, or rather~in trying/attempting to deduce what it is/What it might say about the cycles and whatknot.

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."
