THE ATLAS OF THE POLISHED MIRROR

⚠ the utterance
nature
Words spoken from an overwhelmed state that appear, taken flat, to be blasphemy — al-Ḥallāj's anā al-Ḥaqq, Bisṭāmī's "glory be to me." The tradition's own defenders argue that the speaker is not there to be speaking; its own courts sometimes disagreed, fatally.
The bench's standing boundary, in this wing's own vocabulary. Judaism has the same fault line and the same casualties. [REF] only — the app records the utterances, quotes their defenders and their prosecutors, and offers no instrument that produces them.
