Preliminary Notes on Ibn Arabi and Alchemy: How Ibn Arabi Peoples the Cosmos
Sean McLoughlin
"This piece of writing is an attempt to apply alchemical symbolism and alchemical stages of transformation to Ibn Al-Arabi’s seed ideas, especially the ascent through the 7 spheres, the perfect human, and the common notions of zahir and batin. In this writing I imagine the perfect human as the alchemical stone and explore Ibn Arabi's unique attribution of a prophet to each of the planetary spheres as a method of projection and peopling the sacred cosmos."
