Notes
Islam: " In Islamic theology and metaphysics a distinction is made between God in Himself, or the divine Essence (dhat), and God as He describes Himself in revelation. Thus in the Koran God calls Himself by many Names, such as the "Merciful," the "All-Knowing," the "Living," the "All-Powerful."From those Names (asma') we understand that He possesses the Attributes (sifat) of Mercy, Knowledge, Life, and Power.

Facets of Consciousness may be broken down into three categories of phases, primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Primary Facets
- bliss
- awareness
Primary facets of consciousness exist in the beginning.
Secondary Facets
Secondary facets emerge following the Instantiation of Consciousness, in the second stage of The Unfolding
- Self Awareness (awareness of self)
- Thought
- Self Love
- Joy, happiness
- Force (a.k.a. Power) / Intent
- Formation / Inspiration / Imagination
Tertiary Facets (emerge following entry) emerge during the third stage of the Unfolding, with the emanation of creation.
