Mikhail Naimy (1889-1988) is considered a pillar of the Lebanese Renaissance literature of the 20th century. His books have spread throughout the five continents with themes of the ‘Self’, the Major and the Minor Self, Its stretch to infinity, and the perpetual quest for It in its many aspects. Naimy’s philosophy revolves around the axes that Humans are the Micro-Cosmos, for the whole universe is summarized in them. The humans’ goal is return to the macro-cosmos which is the micro-cosmos, to unite and to melt with the One. This uniting and melting requires thresholding, centering, and leaving many wombs, be it a woman’s womb or Life’s womb, to reach ‘The One’
