I belong to God, as has often been shown; yet I also belong to myself. He becomes Himself through me. I live in Him, and I live in myself. I have two aspects, He and I, divine and human. But He is not I, and I am not He. My actions are the theatre in which He expresses Himself; to Him I am a vessel.
-Ibn Arabi, “Fusus al-hikam”
