The Spiritual Practices of Rumi: Radical Techniques for Beholding the Divine
"Since meditation is so often seen as a solitary practice, and since so many of our human interactions are superficial avoidance of genuine intimacy, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Because of its meditative nature, and because of its promise of opening the heart and vision to the deeper nature of all around us, it seems especially appropriate for those engaged on the Ovate and Druid paths." (Karl Schlotterbeck, Henge of Keltria, May 2008)“In these most troubled of times, Johnson makes available for any and all the secret of beholding the divine in sacred friendship. This makes for sensitive and intriguing reading that goes right to your heart.” (José Argüelles, author of Time and the Technosphere)“A fascinating and quite plausible account of what may have transpired between Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams-i-Tabriz behind the closed door of their retreat room. It should be read by all serious students of Rumi.” (W. M. Thackston, Jr., Professor of the Persian Language, Harvard University, translator of Rumi̵)“Instead of recycling old information, Will Johnson brings new light to the understanding of Rumi with this book. This is how we can bring Rumi to our life rather than bury him in scholarly libraries.” (Nevit O. Ergin, translator of Rumi’s Divan-i Kebir)
