 In discussing the ontological role of image/imagination, Ibn ‘Arabî often uses the term barzakh (isthmus, barrier, limit), which in the Koran is that which stands between the sweet and salty seas (25:53, 55:20) and prevents the deceased soul from returning to the world (23:100). Generally, theologians understood it to be the “location” of the soul after death and before the Day of Resurrection. Ibn ‘Arabî employs the term to designate anything that simultaneously divides and brings together two things, without itself having two sides, like the “line” that separates sunlight and shade. He uses the term Supreme Barzakh (al-barzakh al-a‘lâ) as a synonym for Nondelimited Imagination. It is, in other words, the cosmos, the realm of possible things, which in themselves are neither necessary nor impossible, neither infinite nor finite. Or, it is the Breath of the All-Merciful, which is neither Nondelimited Being nor articulated words.
