Passages from the Futuhat al-Makkiya by Ibn Arabi, translated and expanded by Ismail Hakki Bursevi. For someone who is ready to look into the depth of his or her own being, to the kernel of the kernel which is his essence, this book is invaluable.
Ibn Arabi wrote these pen pictures of some of the contemplatives and spiritual masters among whom he spent his early years in Andalusia. Drawing freely on knowledge of diverse spiritual traditions, Dom Sylvesters comments illuminate and expand on the meanings embedded in six of Eckhart's greatest sermons. Abd al-Kerim Jili's book Universal Man is an exposition of the appearances of Absolute Being as Essence, Names, Qualities and Divinity, and of the corresponding contemplative states in the path of Union. Whoso Koweth Himself... is a statement of the fact of the essential unity of all existence, addressed to the most intimate consciousness of unparallelled simplicity and directness. The Twenty-Nine Pages provides an introductory guide to the language and thought of Ibn 'Arabi, particularly those aspects of his doctrine which refer to the unity of being and the perfectability of man. Ibn Arabi used poetry in all his spiritual writings, and this CD presents some of his poems in a completely contemporary setting.
