Abstract :

Belief in the Ălam-e Methal as a real world and spiritual essence, which is the middle ground between the world of predestination and the world of martyrdom, is one of the beliefs of Mohi al-Dini mysticism. The present article shows how to know all levels of creation through the knowledge of the Ălam-e Methal. The ideal order of the universe includes vast semi-abstract optical truths determined by ideal forms. Since one of the perceptual powers of man is his imagination, which is itself of the type of the Ălam-e Methal, so man can achieve an existential and epistemological connection with his absolute Ălam-e Methal, Which has been considered in mystical texts, can be related to the absolute idea , the possibility of knowledge and cognition and imaging in all three levels of the universe.
