Henry Corbin Quotes

Consider the idea of a God who is essentially sadness and longing, yearning to reveal himself, to know himself through a being who knows him, thereby depending on that being who is still himself - yet who in this sense creates Him. Here we have a vision which has never been professed outside of a few errant knights of mysticism. To profess this essential bipolarity of the divine essence is not to confuse creator and created, creature and creation. It is to experience the irrevocable solidarity between the Fravarti and its Soul, in the battle they undertake for each other`s sake.

Prayer is the highest form, the supreme act of the Creative Imagination. . . . For prayer is not a request for something: it is the expression of a mode of being, a means of existing and of causing to exist,. . . The organ of Prayer is the heart, the psychospiritual organ, with its concentration of energy, its himma. . . . Prayer is a "creator" of vision,. . . .
