the angels were certain powers of that form which the folk call the great human
the angels were to it Like the spiritual and perceptual powers in the human nature
but each power is veiled in itself and sees nothing that is better than it
for the angels claim kinship to every high station and exalted rank before allah to divine consciousness
whether it pertain to the divine aspect
or the aspect of the reality of realities
or, in the nature contains all these attributes, To what is required by universal nature
which encompasses the vessels of the world, high and low
and this no mind knows by rational speculation
but only by that art of apprehension that originates in divine unveiling ~ Ibn ‘Arabi
