Summary: A Description of Gnosis in Philosophical Terminology
Review: This book is truly impressive. Arabi's deep knowledge of philosophy allowed him to describe many aspects of the experience of gnosis and prayer in a rare form that could be comprehended by the rational mind of only someone who has been there even to some small degree. This kind of reflection is beautiful and useful. Arabi is completley experienced and educated in Philosophy, but is not what we would call a philosopher in the impractical, rhetorical, or sophist sense. Rather, this work brings Philosophy back to it's primal roots as a way of mapping out mystical experience.

Summary: Expanded Dimensions of Spirituality
Review: This book was my introduction to his writings. It is a good place to start partaking of his deep insights regardless of whether you consider yourself to be either Christian or Muslim.
This great unifier and witness to the unity of all things offers
plenty of self varifying evidence for the fact that " God is the conclusive argument.

Summary: The Truth behind the Wisdom
Review: This is a book that, at first, shatters all your dogmas about Islam and the search for the Reality (God), and then rebuilds your faith in the most beautiful way. ibn Arabi was the first of the Sufis to write openly about a knowledge closly held by mystics of old. His book Bezels of Wisdom, therefore, broke new ground by revealing to the world the Real truths behind the Wisdom sent to each Prophet.
