Winter 1990–91
In this issue, the theme of unity—both mystical and intellectual—guides discourse, articles, stories, and poetry.
In his discourse, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh considers two approaches to the principle of Unity of Being, contrasting intellectual analysis with spiritual love and direct experience.
Articles explore Sohravardi’s illumination, modern Albanian Kosovan Sufis, and the Chishti Order.
Stories dramatize spiritual struggle, while poems by Annemarie Schimmel, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh, Peter Lamborn Wilson, and Leonard Lewisohn evoke inner yearning and insight.
