 Each of “the levels, stations, and stages” represents an actualization of a potential deiformity, or an instance of becoming characterized by one or more divine names. Each divine attribute and each prophetic archetype sets up a “station” (maqâm) in which human beings can stand and from which they can observe the nature of things. There are countless stations of knowledge and spiritual perfection, and each bestows specific character traits and points of view. Ibn ‘Arabî often tells us that such-and-such a chapter of the Openings pertains to the standpoint of Moses, or Jesus, or Abraham. In the same way, he divides Ringstones into twenty-seven chapters, each of which is dedicated to a prophet or sage who is presented as a word or logos (kalima) embodying the wisdom (hikma) of a specific divine name. His ultimate purpose in describing the various standpoints is to highlight the Station of No Station (maqâm lâ maqâm), also called “the Muhammadan Station”. This is full realization of the Reality of Realities; it embraces all stations and standpoints without being determined and defined by any of them. “The people of perfection have realized all stations and states and passed beyond these to the station above both majesty and beauty, so they have no attribute and no description” (Ibn ‘Arabî, al-Futûhât, 1911 edition, 2:133.19).
