Wednesdays from 5th August 2020 (20.00 – 21:00 BST)

One session per week (5 week period)
Online study of Know Yourself, an explanation of the oneness of being attributed to Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi and Awhad al-din Balyani, translated by Cecilia Twinch (via Zoom)
Course Description
This short text on the unity of existence explains that to realise your essential oneness with reality is not to eliminate your ‘separate’ self or ego because that illusory self never existed. Rather, it is necessary to know your true self to realise your oneness with all being. Nothing essentially changes. When you know yourself ‘ignorance simply disappears’ and how things really are becomes clear.
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.
