The Knowing That Has No Direction – Ibn Arabi’s Sacred Truth

Описание: This video explores a subtle insight from Ibn Arabi: true knowing does not move in a direction.
Ordinary knowledge is directional. It searches, compares, progresses, and tries to arrive. It assumes distance between the knower and what is known. Ibn Arabi challenges this structure by suggesting that the deepest knowing is not an achievement reached by mental travel, but a recognition that does not require movement.
The discussion examines how direction is a feature of thought. The mind advances by goals, conclusions, and conceptual steps. But awareness itself does not “go” anywhere. When knowing is treated as a journey, it multiplies questions and strengthens the sense of separation. When knowing is recognized as immediate disclosure, the need for direction collapses.
This is not an argument against learning or inquiry. It is an inquiry into their boundary. In Ibn Arabi’s sacred truth, direction belongs to seeking, not to being. What is most real does not require approach, because it is already the condition of approach.
What remains is not vague mysticism, but clarity: knowing without pursuit, recognition without distance, and stability without conceptual travel.
