Lincoln, Rumi, Shams and Rabi'a in one volume? How is that possible? While three are Sufis, even Rumi and Shams are separated by a gulf of 400 years from Rabi'a. As for Rabi'a, she was at different times in her life, an orphan, a slave and a prostitute. And Lincoln? On top of another 500 years, the great statesman belongs to an entirely different civilization and religion. Where's the connection? "To the spiritual seeker,", Kehl and Walker contend,"The connection ... is unmistakable. Christ said "I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me." Sincere aspirants on the Spiritual Path recognize Masters; it can be no other way, as they are striving after the same reality." Lincoln, Rumi and Rabi'a are "linked by their unwavering pursuit of Spiritual Truth through Self Knowledge." The proof will be in the reading: In these three remarkable drama produced and performed during the fall and summer months of 2010 and 2011 the authors encourage readers to "search out the connections-rather than notice any supposed differences". 192 pages.
A collection of love poems reminiscent of Elizabeth Browning's "Sonnets From the Portuguese" in their stunning emotional lucidity, plus drawings and photos of porcelain handicraft by the same multi-gifted artist who died tragically of cancer in 2011.
The first volume in the Where The Three Worlds Touch series is reconstructed from actual reports by Lincoln's closest friends, relatives, and political associates. The timely text captures the humor, gentle kindness, and homespun conscious humility of America's greatest statesman in the context of the horror of a country sliding inexorably into civil war.
King came to Vietnam as a first lieutenant in the United States Air Force in the summer of 1963 for a 14-month tour of duty. Only a few months after his arrival, the coup events he discusses here took place, toppling Ngo Dinh Diem's Saigon regime. The assassination of President Kennedy followed in a few weeks.
The word "divan" has multiple meanings. It can refer to a pillowed couch or daybed, a room with one side open to a sunny garden, or an oriental council of state. A "divan" can also be a collection of poems, especially in the Persian Sufi tradition (such as the divans of Rumi and Hafiz) in which the poet celebrates the states experienced in the progress toward unity with God. This divan is a year's worth of poems in seasonal sequence recording the progress of a student following the discipline of an esoteric school. The collection begins in autumn - harvest - gathering the fundamental ideas taught in all true esoteric schools in all ages. The poems continue through the stages of spiritual growth these ideas engender, culminating in the full sun of summer - the ever-accessible presence of God.
