With essays, practices and stories, the Sufi teacher Pir Elias Amidon leads us into the mysteries of nondual awareness, making clear its essence of unconditional acceptance.\n\nThe eleventh century Sufi Abdullah Ansari suggested that Sufism is simply another word for love. In Amidon's words, it is ”what unites us with all being and becoming, and yet no matter how vast and inconceivable love is, it's still the most intimate nature of our present experience.”\n\nAs he recounts events from his life, Amidon shows us the “open path” he follows—one of inclusion, lack of dogma, experiential understanding, and love in action. His life has been one of global activism in the areas of environmentalism, peace, and indigenous rights.\n\nThrough quotes from mystics, poets, philosophers, and spiritual teachers; simple practices for everyone; uncommon perspectives on human life; and wonderful stories illustrating depths of wisdom, readers can have their own experience of limitless awareness and hear the subtle beating of love's drum.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1591813050\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1591813050.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Amidon, Pir Elias|Amidon, PirElias\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
