السفر العرفاني و جدلية الاتصال و الانفصال في الخطاب الصوفي : قراءات جديدة في سيرة ابن عربي الروحية

Abstract EN

Summary: The aim of this article is to look into the memory of the cognitive journey and its manifestations throughout the Sufi discourse; the article starts with a specific methodological concept which goes beyond geographical limits and focuses on the cognitive journey.

The advantage of the latterlies in its distribution into two dimensions: A vertical dimension in which the journey takes two destinations: A lower destination from the sky to the ground, exemplified by the landing journey; and a skyward destination or course, from Earth to the sky.

This dimension is often linked to the heart or spiritual journey through which Sufi works to establish his Sufi identity and replace his real world with an imaginary world, traveling to it in order to rise above imperfections, and to for the attainment of transcendental science, where the cognitive journey becomes a high spiritual model that only people of Karamat can achieve, in recognition of their worth of having the higher status.

The horizontal dimension takes a linear path, in which the self starts from its point of stability to where it is intended, and this type of journeys is often linked to physical journey in the vast land of God for reflection and deep contemplation.
