Mans unconsciousness is like sea. sea whaere every knid of plant and animal and mineral exists. man within carries a sample of the whole creation which we are unaware of and cannot see. through waves man can bring to the surface any creature, nice or dangerous or even pearls. evolutionary wise this force [waves] is manifested in mans reason but is challenged by mans animal tendencies. to go beyond reason and animality to certainity [nafs e mutma'inna] or to fall [nafs e ammara]
