Course Description
The Fusus al-Hikam – Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi considered the Fusus al-Hikam – his last major opus – to be the most important of his more than 350 books. The theme is the inner meaning of the 27 prophets mentioned in the Quran from Adam to Mohammed: the infinite wisdom, which is at once unique in itself and many-faceted in its representation. The Fusus is simultaneously an explanation of the most profound meaning of man’s existence and perfectibility and an esoteric exegesis of the Quran.
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.
These sessions are run by Beshara Australia.

If participants feel the need for extended conversation, a dedicated WhatsApp group may be arranged, as this has been done in other cases and proved to be helpful and connective.
