Atom from the Sun of Knowledge

This comprehensive volume is an initiation into Sufism by a Western teacher of Islamic mysticism who saw in this ancient tradition a universal path to enlightenment. The first part of Atom from the Sun of Knowledge explores the spiritual secrets of many of the practices of Islam, as well as interpreting the rich spiritual wealth of Islam's sacred book, the Quran, and its supplementary resource, the Hadith, or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. The second part of the book contains ecstatic modern Sufi poetry and spiritual discourses that illuminate the essential unity of all existence and the immense love that is the heart of all.


Sufi Meditation

"Sufi Meditation presents the highest interpretation of what meditation means in universal mystical Islam. Using examples from the Koran, Orthodox Christianity and modern science, Hixon masterfully explains that Sufi meditation is to be conscious of Divine Reality at all times and that ultimately there is no separation between meditation and living one's daily life."
