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.
The book is available from Beshara Publications [/] and can also be ordered in the USA from the Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi Society [/].
Facilitators are Maren Gleason and Janice McAllister.
