The Sufi Path of Self-Knowledge
“Man, know thyself, and you will know the universe and the gods!” ―Temple of Delphi
“He who knows himself knows his Lord.” ―Sufi Proverb
"The key to success in worship lies in meditative reflection (fikrat)…whoever persists in such reflection in the heart will behold the invisible realm in the spirit. Whoever contemplates God through keeping watch over the thoughts which pass through his heart will be exalted by God in all of his outward deeds." ―Dhū’l-Nūn Miṣrī in ‘Aṭṭār: Tadhkirat, 154-155
This is course introduces the specific means and methods for developing our full divine potential through identifying and removing the inner obstacles to spiritual illumination. Genuine knowledge of divine principles is not a matter of supposition, belief or theory, but the direct cognizance and factual results of the highly technical science of conscious perception and self-reflection.
The mystical science of self-knowledge has been taught throughout all religions. Structurally, we will examine numerous Biblical, Buddhist, and Sufi writings, including The Risalah: Principles of Sufism by Al-Qushayri and Revelation of the Mystery by Al-Hujwiri, due to their simplicity, profundity, and accessibility for beginners.
