The Ecstasy beyond Knowing. This item is unavailable.The Ecstasy beyond Knowing

The Ecstasy Beyond Knowing offers detailed explanations of meditation techniques along with the principles behind them. The Sufi process and stages of transformation are interwoven with those of Hinduism, Buddhism, the Jewish Kabbalah, the glorification of the Christian Mass, and the alchemical process of self-transfiguration, integrated with the insights of psychology and contemporary scientific discoveries. Pir Vilayat reveals the way to develop a deep connection with the soul and spirit, and offers advice on maintaining the awareness and integrity of that connection through the joys and sorrows, challenges and adventures of everyday life.

Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan (1916 2004) was the son and spiritual successor of Hazrat Inayat Khan. During his fifty years as head of the Sufi Order International, Pir Vilayat became an internationally recognized spiritual teacher and master of meditation. Incorporating the mystical heritage and scholarship of both East and West into his teachings, Pir Vilayat initiated dozens of international inter-religious conferences, and brought together spiritual and scientific leaders in public dialogues to explore their shared understandings of the nature of reality.
