nor is the Creator other than her. Rather, she is He by way of affirmation and bringing into existence, in truth and certainty, and by way of manifestation and sensory witnessing; yet He is not she, neither in totality, nor in combination, nor by restriction, nor by encompassing."

So the saying of the Sheikh (she is He) is an affirmation, and his saying (yet He is not she) is a negation. What, then, has he affirmed by his saying (she is He)?

He—Allah purified his person—has affirmed that this witnessed form: the one with receded hairline and prominent belly, bald of head, of medium build among men, with relaxed eyes, broad shoulders, muscular forearms, and slender shins, is the very Essence of the worshiped Creator and the intended Divine, in truth and certainty, from the aspect of existence, reality, manifestation, and sensory witnessing.

And what did he negate by his saying (yet He is not she)? He—Allah purified his person—has negated by this saying of his that the worshiped Divine and the intended Lord should be bounded, modalized, or restricted by this human form through which we saw Him.
