Move forward in time and try to visulaize your death... then look back at your life and see what really matters in life? You have to go back where you came from and nothing can change that fact. It may not be a bad idea to get closer to the Ultimate Power in your life time. This is not a book for the beginers who are trying to figure out the meaning of life and our relationship with God but for those who don't have any doubts in their minds and a feeling of completeness... this may shed some light on how to get closer. You must demolish all your pre concieved notions within your brain and enter the abstrat world before you read it.

I have to agree that this 'manual' is MOST definitely NOT for a beginner or for someone who still has to figure what life is all about. If a person of such nature wishes to anyway, it would be best to get a 'guide' to facilitate readings. But this is MOST definitely a good reading for those who wish to continue 'discovering' yourselves. I LOVE it. And the best part is, after the first time you complete the book, the very NEXT TIME you read the chapters again, you will find in them a new added understanding towards the meanings. Simply Fascinating. Lots of Terms too, but ignore them. There won't be any exams, afterall.

As ampangbear said, this is not a book for beginners. It is, in fact, quite intense. When I read it, I had to stop and rest after a few pages!

It is clear that Sheikh ibn Arabi saw and understood what we do not. His explanations challange the very limits of our beings. Yet, in the end, we are left with the removal of another Veil that seperated us from Allah.

this is an amazing book but unfortunately the quality of printing feels cheap, like a photo copy, fonts are not very readable.

Great book! I bought one long time ago, but I lend it to someone and I didn't get t back, so I need it to give myself a new copy.
