Niche #12 The Niche of Effacement and Recreation

The states are renewed upon an individual existent that is not multiplied, in accordance with decrees that never cease. “Nay, they are in doubt about the new creation.” [Quran 50:15]

For they are unaware that in each instant they are being recreated anew and that what they see in the first instance is not exactly what they see in the next. You are thus in a perpetual state of recreation between existence and nonexistence.

Thus, states are continuously renewed with each breath upon the existents. However, this reality is hardly recognized due to the speed with which this occurs.
