Ultimate Symmetry

Although known by Allah for all eternity, the Constant Entities are nonexistent at the level of Inclusive Oneness, because at this innermost level of being, no other existence may be conceived, not even the hypothetical observer. Therefore, in the end, there is only One God, and nothing else may exist besides Him, the most Exalted Real. Nevertheless, because He is Real, and His existence is not temporal or conditional, God exists with everything else, while nothing may ever exist with Him! Indeed, this primordial fact is the source of the arrow of time and, equivalently, all kinds of motion and change, or creation in general; otherwise if any (confined) observer may equally see God as He is seeing us, He will also be confined, and there will be multiple real beings.

Therefore, as a matter of fact, from our point of view as created entities, geometry and counting should be non-commutative and absolutely asymmetrical, because the existence of every single thing is utterly temporal and restricted to its instantaneous state of being that can not persist for two moments. Although the total configurations of most objects seem to be invariant under many conditions, this is only because we are ignoring many microscopic details, otherwise everything is constantly changing and never repeated the same at all. Geometry is commutative and absolutely symmetrical only from the point of view of God, because for Him all things exist at once and nothing is ever changing. Actually, this can be conferred even from the current formulation of Lorentz group although it still does not realize the hidden discrete symmetry of the genuinely-complex time-time geometry, since it considers both space and time to be continuous. The fact of the matter is that it is not possible to conceive multiple things simultaneously without moving at the speed of light that should be treated as infinite as we explained in Chapter I. Only under this condition we can be here and there at the same time, and we are temporarily experiencing this, especially with the sense of vision, when we look at physical objects, but this perception is temporal and imaginary, as we explained in Chapter II.

For God, however, this is always the case, because He is the Light of the heavens and earth [Quran, 24:35], and this gives Him real knowledge of all things as they are. We are confronted will all kinds of singularities and infinities only because we are treating our perceptions as real, and continuous, while they are in fact (hyperbolically) imaginary, and thus granular and non-commutative. We are actually seeing things by God, and we are not gods, and that s why we will not be able to understand their realities, unless we realize that we are looking through Him. Ibn al-Arabi expressed this nicely by saying:

If my beloved is manifest, with whose eye I may see Him? Through His Eye, not with mine, for except Himself none may ever see Him.
