Away from mundane concerns, the retreatant takes steps to see through the eyes of God, or in Inayat Khan's words, "to think like the Universe." Inayat Khan's synthesis of Indian and Islamic mysticism creates an attractive and palatable spiritual program, couched in the modern language of the new spirituality--Jungian archetypes, Cosmic Christ, spectrum of consciousness, Being of light. Through human beings, Inayat Khan says, the universe itself is alive, and as human beings, we can participate actively in the evolution of the universe. Awakening is a handbook for revisioning God as the universe and transforming our own consciousness. Collected from transcripts of his retreat talks, Awakening guides the reader beyond the self through meditative practices, visualization, whirling, and dhikr, the traditional Sufi ritual of remembrance for inviting the Divine Presence into the heart. At the same time, Pir Vilayat insists that we be awakened in life by loosening the ties of conditioning, challenging deep-seated assumptions, and living a life of simplicity and service. Although its roots are in age-old traditions, Awakening is at the cutting edge of mysticism. --Brian Bruya Book Description: The long-awaited work on the principles of Sufism and self-transformation by the beloved Sufi master Pir Vilayat. For readers encountering Sufism for the first time, Awakening is the perfect companion and introduction to the way of the dervishes--as well as a doorway to a direct experience of the Divine. "This book, drawing on the wisdom of an 83-year-old Sufi master, defines awakening and offers a clear map for the journey." --Personal Transformation magazine Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great service... Thank you Amazon! Thanks to Amazon, this book was on my desk in no time. Amazon, you've done it again... Rating: - Spiritual transformation Loved this book. I have read it again and again.Many wonderful comments are posted here about this book.I loved when Anayat Khan describes connection between physical existance and cosmic existance. Knowing other spiritual figures like Mohammed(s) and Jesus, Abrahim in a different way. Their existance was not merely a physical existance on earth but Cosmic existance. Loved this concept of interconnectedness of humans with universe,space and higher realism. Rating: - Worth spending a lot of time with I had this from the library and now I want a copy, so I can go slowly through the meditative practices described. I particularly liked the "light" meditations. One of the book's best features is the focus on bringing back into everyday life what you have gained by stepping out of everyday life. This is an important perspective often missing from contemplative works. Khan quotes freely, and knowledgeably, from Hindu, Buddhist and Christian ideas as well as giving a good ...

If you are looking for a bit of help in trying to get inside yourself and then to look at the world through a greater perspective, read this book. Rating: - Take Time To Heal When "The Awakening" arrived, it took me 2 weeks before I sat down and turned to page one. I tried to scan through like a "good" student, but somehow this book is not a typical Sufi book that teaches you through steps without wisdom. You have to be "awaken" or to "have died before death", in order to embrace every word, and comprehend the underlying structures and words chosen to convey the message therein. I would recommend "The Awakening" only to ...
