Summary/Abstract: In different traditions, the question of being came according to the different epistemologies that traditions represented: those who followed the rational method would ask the question of being that could be proven in a rational way, those who represented the traditional method relayed on answers coming from their tradition, or, those who represented the gnostic method, expected that the answers would come from individual maturation. Although the contest is from different epistomologies, the time has shown that epistomology basis are different, in some cases is possible to reach the same answers about being, no matter if its used rational, traditional or gnostic method. This paper shows the world according to gnostic and rationalist epistemology hypothesis as a conclusion which is supposed to be true to explain by it certain facts, or as a premise based on facts is reflected in thesis that the revelation of being as a Being we can find not just in gnostic epistemology on which is insisted in theistic circles, but also in rationalistic epistemology; what will be shown later through the example of following three philosophers: Ibn Arabi, Meister Eckhart and Baruch de Spinoza At the end, as the result of this paper, there will be composed a question: What is meant by revelation of being as unity of Being following the implications which will be previously presented.
