This issue explores active engagement with the divine as a path to transformation and union. In his discourse, Alireza Nurbakhsh examines the Sufi path of blame, showing how embracing reproach and relinquishing self-image can lead to humility and sincerity. Essays traverse Khezr/Khidr studies, Tibetan Buddhist nuns, belief as the animation of spirit, and the cultivation of spiritual sight. Narrative, poetry, and a video project on the five senses bring the themes into lived experience. The issue closes with a remembrance honoring Jeffrey Rothschild.
