I think that many have heard such a story about the theophany of divine manifestation, that Muhammad Magomed - the Prophet of Allah - practiced asceticism for a long time - Wandering through the mountains and the desert and having reached a certain level of dedication - He perfectly mastered the secret technique of theophany, that is, epiphany and then he asked Allah to appear to him In that form Well, which one he can and he called forth his presence, an invisible voice, and said to the prophet: look, now I will appear on the neighboring mountain and Mohammed saw - as the neighboring mountain was illuminated by a blinding golden light, it exploded - It broke into billions of grains of sand. Then, seeing this, he cancelled his request to appear to Allah in visible form... Ascetics holy prophets missions and hermits claim to see the true image of God - They practice epiphany In the deserts like hermits - 80 years...
From my own experience I can say - from my Last ritual of the rite, which I now recalled - after the practices of the great names of God - I had the following experience - that is, it happened after 00:00, that is, after midnight - after calling on some secret-secret names on a freshly printed 7 sheets - lightnings appeared on the right side of me and these they were like those lightnings that flashed during the descent of the Holy Fire in the temple in Jerusalem at the ceremony...

There is an interesting excerpt from “An Ocean Without Shore” by Ibn Arabi that goes:
This is the commanding theme of Ibn `Arabi's doctrine of the knowledge of God, as it is expressed (as in numerous other texts) in a passage from chapter 2 of the Pumas al-hiham,'1 where we again find the image of the mirror: "He to whom he shows himself sees nothing more than his own form in the mirror of Divine Reality (al-haw); he does not see Divine Reality and cannot see It, even if he knows that it is in it that he has perceived his own form...He [God] is thus your mirror wherein you contemplate yourself; and you are his mirror wherein he contemplates his Names and the manifestation of the powers belonging to each of them. And all that is nothing more than him!"
and:
“he who is as when his mother gave birth to him.” clues that you must forget all you have learned in order to truly achieve this “union” or revelation of understanding:
The eminent theologian Fakhr al-din Razi (d. 1209) one day came upon a saint (wall, pl. awliyd) no less illustrious than himself—it was Najm al-din Kubr'a—and asked to enter on the Path under his direction. The saint had one of his disciples set Razi up in a cell and ordered him to devote himself to the invocation. But he did not stop there: we are told that, projecting his spiritual energy (tawajjuh) upon Razi, he stripped him of all the book knowledge he had acquired. Now when Razi became aware that all the knowledge of which he had been so proud was being suddenly erased from his memory, be began shouting with all his force: "I can not, I can not." The experience stopped there. Razi left his cell and took his leave of Najm al-din Kubra."
In Qabalah when you cross the abyss all that you are is destroyed: everything is put into the melting pot and transformed. You must not cling to words, ideas and concepts insomuch as this is concerned. I am reminded of a quote in the Wiccan ritual during Lughnasadh(?):
“In Silence is the Seed of Wisdom gained”.

The name of Aught, where God's vast nothingness is expressed.
