In fact, using unveiling, Semi Dream (Vaghe'eh), intuition and generally mystical experiences and the manner of intuition in gaining Mystical knowledge, are the most basic subjects in mystical studies.  For better understanding the nature of unveiling (kashf), finding the manner of the perception of these experiences is more important than anything else. Scrutinizing human perception especially Mystical perceptions like unveiling (kashf) requires an opportunity for studying history of thought in Philosophy and Mystism, since Plato till now. But when the viewpoints of Sofia, philosophers and thinkers meet, it suggests that mystic creates the context of realization of unveiling (kashf) with spiritual struggle (mujahidah), endeavor (riyadah) and dhikr in an intermediary world, called Mundus Imaginalis. The heart of the mystic is the part for perceiving these experiences that makes the experience of unveiling (kashf) possible by gaining insight (Basirah) and applying a power, called active imagination and spiritual energy (himmat).
