5.0 out of 5 stars An ancient Persian story of spiritual transformation of a prickly-bush digger, August 11, 2005

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Moshkel Gosha: A Story Of Transformation is a Sufi story that can be read and enjoyed on several levels. Ably presented with commentary by Sufi instructor and Jungian psychology expert Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee, Moshkel Gosha is an ancient Persian story of spiritual transformation of a prickly-bush digger, his daughter, and how his discovery of some magical stones first made them wealthy and then drew them into disaster, but ultimately there is a "happy ending" as Moshkel Gosh (which is Persian for "the remover of obstacles" learns how to work with the magical dimension within life. Moshkel is a timeless tale of myth and metaphor showing the reader how they too can remove obstacles from their life path by drawing upon the "magical" qualities within in us all. Moshkel Gosha will prove of especially interest to students of Sufism, eastern spirituality, metapsychology, and Persian folklore.
