One session per week for up to 8 weeks

Online study of the Kernel of the Kernel, a selection of key passages from Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi’s Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah, translated into Turkish with commentary by Ismail Hakki Bursevi (1652-1728AD). Translated into English by Bulent Rauf.

Course Description

The Kernel of the Kernel is a dialogue with the mystic and is for the one who is ready to look into the depths of his or her own being to the kernel of the kernel which is his or her essence. This book is invaluable, pointing out the way of progress for those who may become entangled along the path.

Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240AD), mystic, philosopher, poet, sage, is one of the world’s great spiritual teachers, whose writings provide a beautiful exposition of the Unity of Being. His wisdom has much to offer us in the modern world, in terms of understanding what it means to be human.
