"A lover of God, says the Sufi, is one who longs to be dissolved in the Beloved, in love's limitless ocean. For more than 10 centuries, the Sufis have perfected love's inner alchemy—the way the heart opens to the ecstasy of divine union. On The Sufi Path of Love, teacher and author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee shares the secrets of this transformation, a “turning of the heart” that awakens the soul's innermost love affair. Weaving together dreamwork, the teachings of his own Naqshbandi order, the archetypal psychology of C.G. Jung, and more than 1,100 years of Sufi wisdom, poetry, and teaching stories, Vaughan-Lee takes us into the wonder of this spiraling inward journey. You will discover what is hidden within the deepest chamber of the heart; how this path uses the joys and sorrows of personal relationship as the prima materia for spiritual growth; how the fire of longing purifies us; and finally, how the lover surrenders blissfully into the arms of the Beloved.
“To be a lover of God is not an abstraction,” teach the Sufis. “It is a reality that permeates every cell of your body.” On The Sufi Path of Love, you are invited to share in this ancient wisdom of love and longing and to let your own heart's desire become a burning flame."
"Spiritual life is a response to a call. Our journey home, reveals the Sufi, is simple—to be burned alive in our longing for God until nothing else remains. For the deepest fire of the heart's passion and the fire of the Divine are one and the same.
This is the essence of Sufism, a mystical path of love that reaches out to true seekers of every spiritual tradition. But how do we kindle this fire of divine longing within? In Love Is a Fire and I Am Wood, you are invited to sit at the side of Sufi teacher and author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee in a series of actual Sufi meetings, recorded live as they happened.
Here, among these 'lovers of God,' you will taste the Sufi experience for yourself through a “spiraling series of talks,” each one exploring a different facet of the tradition, drawing you deeper into the heart of the Beloved. You will learn how Sufi prayer pulls you like a magnet ever closer to God; what it means to drown in the ocean of divine love; how spiritual dreamwork guides you on this journey to the 'heart of hearts'; the wisdom and passionate teachings of many Sufi masters, including Bayezid Bistami, al-Hallaj, Rabi'a, Rumi, and Ibn 'Arabi; and how to balance the intensity of the mystical path with the demands of everyday life.
Love Is a Fire and I Am Wood opens the door to the Sufi tradition, over 1,000 years old and intoxicatingly alive today. The Sufis believe that your deepest heartache radiates outward like a beacon of light to attract the teacher—and the teachings—that you need. If this eternal pain of love is the lantern that flickers within you, then let it be answered by the living fire of this mystical tradition."
