A profound guide to Sufi wisdom, this inspiring spiritual companion unlocks ancient teaching stories that awaken heart-centred insight for modern seekers. John Baldock explores the rich body of literature the Sufis have produced to guide spiritual travellers. While explaining the significant teachings and emphasizing their significance for us, he sheds a timely light on the Sufis’ fascinating perception of life, revealing it to be a process of the heart and not of the head, and offers intriguing pathways to further study and reflection. The Mystic Wisdom introduces four of the world’s most influential mystical traditions – Gnosticism, Sufism, Kabbalah, and Buddhism – tracing the history of these movements and their exploration of personal and spiritual transformation.
