Keven Brown concludes that the "realities of things are manifestations of the first thing to emanate from God, the Primal Will", but they are "not manifestations of the unknowable and inaccessible Godhead", and that according to the Baháʼí teachings the "true meaning of union (or knowing) in the mystic quest is not union with (or knowing) the Essence of God (which is impossible to attain), but recognition of the Manifestation of God for the day in which one lives".Brown, Keven (2001). ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's Response to the Doctrine of the Unity of Existence. Journal of Baháʼí Studies, 11:3-4. Nader Saiedi describes the Báb's explanations about the dual stations of the "Point", another term for the Primal Will of God.
