analogie
Analogy is a discontinuous identity, and identity a continuous ANALOGY. (GTUFS: UIslam, The Path)
The relationship of ANALOGY is that of discontinuity between center and periphery: created things, including thoughts – everything indeed that constitutes cosmic manifestation – are separated from the Principle . . . The relationship of identity on the contrary is that of continuity between center and periphery, it is consequently distinguished from the relationship of ANALOGY as radii are distinguished from concentric circles. Divine manifestation, around us and in us, prolongs and projects the Principle and is identified with it precisely in respect of the immanent divine quality.
