Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der vieles mit einem Klick erreichbar ist. Doch wahres Glück und Erfüllung kommen nicht aus einer auf 23 Grad geheizten Wohnung, während wir auf dem Sofa durch Social-Media-Videos scrollen. Nein, echte Stärke und Zufriedenheit entstehen erst, wenn wir Herausforderungen annehmen, uns opfern und am Schmerz wachsen.Viele von uns glauben, wir hätten ein Recht auf Glück. Doch tatsächlich haben wir nur das Recht, nach Glück zu streben. Die Welt schuldet uns nichts – wer Erfolg oder Kraft will, muss sich Prüfungen stellen. Genau das beschreibt das Mantra von Hazrat Inayat Khan:  „Ich bat um Kraft, und Gott gab mir Schwierigkeiten.  Ich bat um Weisheit, und Gott gab mir Probleme..."Auch ich weiss, wie hart solche Prüfungen sein können. Zweimal wurde ich öffentlich in den nationalen Medien falsch beschuldigt und verunglimpft, als Nationalsozialist (! ich der ultraliberale...!) abgestempelt. Ein wahrer Shitstorm. Doch ich bin daraus stärker hervorgegangen – gelassener, widerstandsfähiger und ein Stück stoischer. Wer einmal im Zentrum eines Sturms steht und ihn übersteht, weiss, dass er auch künftigen Wellen trotzen kann.Das neue Jahr steht vor der Tür, und jeder möchte fitter, erfolgreicher und glücklicher werden. Doch dafür sind Einsatz und Mut nötig. Wer sich vor Schweiss und unangenehmen Aufgaben drückt, wird nie das Hochgefühl echten Erfolgs spüren. Wer hingegen bereit ist, sich zu quälen und an Prüfungen zu wachsen, wird die tiefste Form von Glück erfahren.Leidenschaft kommt von Leiden – wer nie für ein Ziel gekämpft hat, wird nie wahre Leidenschaft spüren. Also fordere ich Sie auf: Brechen Sie aus der Komfortzone aus, suchen Sie bewusst Herausforderungen. Fasst Vorsätze, die anstrengend sind. Riskiert die kalten Winde des Lebens und meistert sie. Das ist der Weg zu Stärke, Dankbarkeit und echtem Glück.Wenn Sie das ganze Mantra und alle Hintergründe hören wollen, schalten Sie in diese Folge ein. Den ausführlichen Text können Sie auf www.muellermathias.ch nachlesen – dort finden Sie auch sämtliche bisherigen Folgen. Und mein Dank gilt jenen, die mir Feedback schicken oder sogar ein paar Kaffees über www.buymeacoffee.com/stoicpirate spenden.Leinen los, Piraten! Hören Sie rein, holen Sie sich Ihr Mantra für das neue Jahr – und setzen Sie Segel in Richtung Ihres stärksten Ich!

In this Community Gathering (October 2024) Zaya and Maurizio were in discussion with Pir Zia Inayat Khan, a renowned spiritual teacher in the Sufi tradition, and explored the practice of turning toward the heart — a fundamental concept in Sufism and many other spiritual paths. Can we see the heart not just as a physical organ, but as a center of consciousness, wisdom, and divine connection? Will this inner orientation lead us to greater self-awareness, compassion, and spiritual growth? Drawing from Sufi wisdom and his own experience, Pir Zia offered insights on cultivating a heart-centered approach to life in a modern world that uplifts comfort to ignore suffering, and developing the ability to see where there is pain and hardship in order to bring healing there. Together, we will explore the question, “How can we harmonize the inward journey with the outward call to stand for justice?” Pir Zia Inayat Khan, PH.D., is a scholar of religion and teacher of Sufism in the universalist Sufi lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan. Pir Zia is president of the Inayatiyya and founder of Sulūk Academy, a school of Sufi contemplative study and practice. He is author of Immortality: A Traveler's Guide; Dream Flowers: The Collected Works of Noor Inayat Khan; Mingled Waters: Sufism and the Mystical Unity of Religions; and Saracen Chivalry: Counsels on Valor, Generosity and the Mystical Quest. He is editor of Caravan of Souls: An Introduction to the Sufi Path of Hazrat Inayat Khan. Pir Zia divides his time between Richmond, Virginia and Suresnes, France. https://inayatiyya.org/ Watch the full video version of this event here: https://scienceandnonduality.com/event/turning-toward-the-heart/ Topics: 00:00 – Introduction and Welcome 00:47 – Introducing Pir Zia Inayat Khan 01:50 – The Legacy of Hazrat Inayat Khan 06:14 – Understanding Sufism and Its Origins 12:00 – The Heart and Mind in Sufism 16:35 – Stages of the Sufi Path 24:45 – Embracing Suffering and Compassion 29:04 – The Power of the Heart in Healing 33:43 – The Responsibility of Action and Hope 35:40 – The Heroic Legacy of Noor Inayat Khan 39:27 – Sufi Influence and Universal Oneness 45:40 – Breaking the Cycle of Suffering 49:48 – The Ego and Collective Identity 53:44 – Interconnectedness and Healing 54:59 – Closing Reflections and Gratitude Resources: Where Olive Trees Weep (film by SAND) Inayat Khan Foundation – Inayatiyya - The Inayati Order Suluk Academy Caravan of Souls (book) Pir Zia Inayat Khan Teachings Hazrat Inayat Khan Teachings Noor Inayat Khan's Legacy – Noor Inayat Khan: The Forgotten Spy Twenty Jataka Tales by Noor Inayat Khan Sounds of SAND #18 The Mysticism of Sound and Music (Podcast with Michael Harrison, Inayat Khan music scholar and composer) Support the mission of SAND and the production of this podcast by becoming a SAND Member.

Elements of Sound explores the relationship between sound and consciousness at the intersections of science, spirituality and music theory. DiMatteo's approach draws inspiration from ancient and modern thinkers, scientists and indigenous wisdom-keepers, relating sound as both a primal mystery and a practical tool for communication, healing and transformation. Weaving together diverse perspectives, Elements of Sound compares global traditions of song, poetry, storytelling and sacred language. It invites us to consider how sound and silence frame our innermost thoughts, and to be aware that sound itself constitutes our beliefs, identities and the words we use to define reality. Influenced by such classics as The Mysticism of Sound and Music by Hazrat Inayat Khan and The Kybalion by Three Initiates, Elements of Sound penetrates the cosmology, esotericism and philosophy of sound and music, suggesting that thoughts are subtle forms of sound which impact our psychophysiological health. Drawing from decades of experience in academic, clinical and ceremonial settings, DiMatteo conveys the relevance of sound, music and language across human culture. Spiritual seekers, curious minds and students of music will find an oasis of inspiration in his work, along with a common language to discuss what might otherwise seem ineffable. Neuroscientist and cognitive psychologist Daniel Levetin wrote, "Music may be the activity that prepared our pre-human ancestors for speech communication and for the very cognitive, representational flexibility necessary to become humans." Music and language are prehistoric, but traces of our ancient origins remain preserved in the mythologies and aural teachings of humanity's living traditions. To learn, to express and to share are intrinsically human. They connect us through sound to the power of creation, and to vibration as a property of reality. Elements of Sound encourages us to consider how we relate to sound in our daily lives-what we hear, how we interpret it, and how we respond to the world within and around us. "Music is a limited term. Sound encompasses melody, harmony, speech, thought and a universe full of vibrations." - from Elements of Sound   https://www.sonicinstitute.com/allproducts/p/elements-of-sound-book

In this episode we present excerpts from the recent conversation (June 2024) as part of SAND's “Conversations on Palestine” around the premiere of the film Where Olive Trees Weep hosted by the directors of the film and co-founders of SAND, Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo. You can watch this full conversation and 22 others. SAND has created a program with leading historians, spiritual teachers, trauma therapists, poets and performers to complement the themes explored in the film and provide a larger historical, cultural and social context to the plight of the Palestinian people. In this powerful interfaith gathering, renowned spiritual leaders from Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist traditions came together to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom, equality, and human dignity. These esteemed visionaries modeled the powerful unity that can blossom when we recognize our shared humanity and inherent dignity. Their clarion call for peace with justice in Palestine stands as an inspiration for us all to embody the highest ethical and moral principles of our diverse spiritual traditions.

In today's The Labyrinth podcast, Lisa Carley interviews retired psychiatrist Henry Cretella to share both his philosophy and personal experience with surrender. We begin our conversation with Eckart Tolle's view that surrender requires an expansion (and often suspension) of our rational mind. From there, we discuss the general nature of surrender and the role of intuition. We move into sharing stories about times when we felt a deep intuition/calling to stretch the boundaries of our limited rational frameworks and take a leap. The podcast ends with Hazrat Inayat Khan's essay on the future of humankind. Bio of Lisa Carley Hosting the podcast, 'The Labyrinth,' Lisa Carley is passionate about India, existential and phenomenological philosophy/psychology, and maternal mental health. She chooses to explore her passion through travel, connection with others, and writing. She holds a degree in English Literature from SUNY Albany, and has worked toward a Psy. D. in Clinical Psychology with a Masters in Existential Humanistic Psychology from Saybrook, is a mother, student of Philosophy and English, artisan, and poet.

In Breathtaking Revelations: The Science of Breath from the Fifty Kamarupa Verses to Hazrat Inayat Khan (Suluk Press, 2024), Carl W. Ernst and Patrick J. D'Silva explore the intersections of Sufi and yogic breath-based meditation. Ernst and D'Silva offer us here two stunning texts for study.  The first, an anonymous Persian translation of a 14th century manuscript that introduces us to a variety of divinations, incantations, and much more, as well as a thorough outline of the science of the breath, based on whether it comes out from the left or right nostrils and its significance. This text especially is fascinating for its incantations to yogini devis (or female spirits).  The second text under consideration is Hazrat Inayat Khan's The Science of the Breath dictated in English to his student Zohra Williams in the early 20th century. There are numerous similarities across these two texts separated by centuries, especially the focus on breath divination based on left and right nostrils (in this instance associated with jamal and jalali qualities while in the former focused on solar and lunar relations) but also key differences, such as attention to the elements like earth, fire, water etc. in Inayat Khan's teachings.  Reading these two texts on breath and its divination side by side brings to focus the long tradition of Sufi engagement with yoga, and the overlaps between Hindu and Muslim spiritual practices amongst Sufis and yogis, especially of magic, sciences and much more. This book will be of interest to practitioners of Sufism as well as those with interest in Sufism, Islam, yoga, Hinduism, and much more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I explore some key Sufi teachings compatible with the contemporary mystic or gnostic path called Sant Mat. The Sants and Radhaswamis of the living present highly value the mystic poetry and wisdom of Rumi, Hafiz, Rabia, Sarmad, Hazrat Sultan BaHU, Sanai, Baba Farid and so many other Sufi Faqir lovers of the Beloved, viewing them as being Saints of the highest order. Hear verses of Hakim Sanai on meditating the Mysteries of Creation, connecting with the Subtle Realms of dimensions beyond in what can be called Inner Space, the Kingdom of God within. I focus upon the Inner Sound Mysticism of some of the great Sufi Saints of the ages: Rumi, Fakhruddin ‘Iraqi, Shah Niaz, Hazrat Sultan BaHU, Hazrat Inayat Khan, and Dara Shikoh. An exploration of the vegan verses of Rumi is presented. There is an essay on how mystical schools of spirituality are very fragile and short-lived in this world of illusion, this realm of Samsara, the World of Changes, how usually there are typically only a few generations of living masters and then, after the passing of the last master, a mystic path or branch of a school of spirituality fades from the scene, unless of course it gets hijacked and repurposed, turned into another world religion with a very different focus (zombification). When the latter happens, often the earlier teachings and sacred texts undergo serious edits. What had been a shared knowledge about Inner Sound and Light meditation practices, vegetarian ethics and other key principles might even be reclassified as "apocryphal" or "extra canonical". Although there is an oppressive history of lost teachings of the Sound Current (The Lost Chord), that there are no permanent universities of mysticism on planet Earth, no surviving Pythagorean, or Valentinian gnostic schools of wisdom still with us with roots in antiquity, or a church of the Ebionites with copies of Sayings Gospel Q or the Gospel of the Hebrews, a hopeful message is presented that Life Always Begets New Life. As old mystic paths and sangats fade into the oblivion of time (Kal) they are replaced with new living schools of spirituality -- that it's always been this way. Seneca the Stoic: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." There are also readings from Dr. Jagessar Das,  the Sar Bachan Radhaswami Prose Book One (Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram), Sar Bachan Radhaswami Poetry Volume One (Swami Ji Maharaj), Prem Bani Radhasoami Volume One (Hazur Maharaj Rai Saligram), Tukarama, Russell Perkins (The Stranger of Galilee), and Baba Ram Singh. We conclude with the mystic poetry of Baba Farid the Sufi. Many of his mystic poetry verses are to be found in the Sikh Scriptures, also known as the Adi Granth.

Lars Muhl is a Danish author, mystic and musician, born in Aarhus, Denmark in 1950.Already as a 10 year old, Lars Muhl had experienced glimpses of another reality. The shock, following the sudden death of his younger sister, caused painful kundalini-like experiences, giving access to the ethereal worlds and a hypersensitive insight into other people's pain. This lasted for three years.A turning point came when Lars was 15 and received a book anonymously in the post. Hazrat Inayat Khan's ‘Gayan, Nirtan, Vadan' became the start of a lifelong esoteric study. Lars was for many years a successful singer/songwriter who, concurrently with his music, studied the world's religions and esoteric knowledge. Then in 1996, he was struck down by an unexplained illness, which neither doctors nor alternative therapists could diagnose. For three years he lay in bed without being able to move or think straight.Through a close friend's intervention, Lars was put in touch with a seer who, via the telephone, brought him back to life. That was the start of a completely new existence and the beginning of that quest he has so grippingly described in his trilogy book ‘The O Manuscript'.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4858435/advertisement

Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 –1927) was an Indian professor of musicology, singer, exponent of the saraswati vina, poet, philosopher, and pioneer of the transmission of Sufism to the West. He initially came to the West as a representative of several traditions of classical Indian music, and established an order of Sufism (the Sufi Order) in London in 1914. By the time of his death in 1927, centers had been established throughout Europe and North America, and multiple volumes of his teachings had been published. Inayat Khan's teaching emphasized the oneness of God (tawhid) and the underlying harmony of the revelations communicated by the prophets of all the world's great religions. His discourses treated such varied subjects as religion, art, music, ethics, philosophy, psychology, and health and healing.

In this episode we speak with Carl Ernst about his career of scholarship on Sufism—which he describes as the tradition of ethics and spirituality associated with Islam. In particular we discuss the unique history of Sufism's engagement with Hindu forms of yoga in northern India, which has been the subject of numerous important publications by Ernst.  We discuss the nature of Sufism, the fluid boundaries of religious identity, and the fascinating history of translation and adaptation of yoga within the Sufi orders, including the unique transmission of the "Ocean of Life" (Baḥr al-ḥayāt), compiled by Muḥammad Ghawth in 1550. We conclude with a  preview of Ernst's upcoming online course, YS 123 | Sufism and Yoga. Speaker BioDr. Carl W. Ernst is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is an academic specialist in Islamic studies, with a focus on West and South Asia. Ernst has received research fellowships from the Fulbright program, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and he has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research, based on the study of Arabic, Persian, and Urdu, has been mainly devoted to the study of three areas: general and critical issues of Islamic studies, premodern and contemporary Sufism, and Indo-Muslim culture. He studied comparative religion at Stanford University (A.B. 1973) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1981). He has done extended research tours in India (1978-79, 1981), Pakistan (1986, 2000, 2005), and Turkey (1991), and has been a regular visitor to the Gulf, Turkey, Iran, and Southeast Asia for lectures and conferences. His next publications, coming out in August 2023, are I Cannot Write My Life: Islam, Arabic, and Slavery in Omar ibn Said's America, co-authored with Mbaye Lo (UNC Press, 2023), and Breathtaking Revelations: The Science of Breath, from the Fifty Kamarupa Verses to Hazrat Inayat Khan, co-authored with Patrick d'Silva (Suluk Press, 2023).LinksYS 123 | Sufism and Yogahttps://carlwernst.web.unc.edu/

In this episode, we discuss the life and work of musician and Sufi teacher Hazrat Inayat Khan with composer/pianist and Inayat Khan scholar Michael Harrison. Hazrat Inayat Khan (Urdu: عنایت خان رحمت خان) (5 July 1882 – 5 February 1927) was an Indian professor of musicology, singer, exponent of the saraswati vina, poet, philosopher, and pioneer of the transmission of Sufism to the West. At the urging of his students, and on the basis of his ancestral Sufi tradition and four-fold training and authorization at the hands of Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani (d. 1907) of Hyderabad, he established an order of Sufism (the Sufi Order) in London in 1914. By the time of his death in 1927, centers had been established throughout Europe and North America, and multiple volumes of his teachings had been published. Michael Harrison (called "an American maverick" by Philip Glass) forges a new approach to composition through just intonation (the system of tuning based on pure harmonic proportions). His works blend classical music traditions of Europe and North India. He is a Guggenheim Fellowship and NYFA Artist Fellowship recipient. Michael creates dedicated tuning systems for many of his works. He pioneered a structural approach to composition in which the proportions of harmonic relationships organically determine other musical elements such as pitch, duration, and dynamics. He also invented the "harmonic piano," a grand piano that plays 24 notes per octave, documented in the Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments. Harrison seeks expressions of universality via the physics of sound – music that brings one into a state of concentrated listening as a meditative and even mind-altering experience.

“It is not what music does,” writes Christine Stevens, “it is what music undoes.” In July 2022, as a crimson supermoon lit up the sky in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, Christine Stevens sat afloat in a kayak, beholding the still, alpine waters of Jenny Lake and attuning to the wisdom offered by the natural world. When the time was ripe, she reached into her backpack, took out the wooden flute that usually accompanies her, and played a mesmerizing ode to the moon. A certified naturalist, poet, and music therapist who has worked globally with survivors of trauma, war, and disasters, Christine was now preparing for her annual vision quest—alone for four days, fasting, and silent. Deeply connected with music and nature since a young age, Christine grew up in an “outdoorsy family,” adored her grandfather’s tree farm, and learned to play the piano and saxophone. Up until high school, however, she felt alone whenever she performed music. Then one day, she volunteered in a classroom of autistic children. They joined her in playing music together. And it was there that she discovered her life calling, going on to receive two master's degrees—one in music therapy, the other in social work.  Although her current work is comprised in large part by drumming (Upbeat Drum Circles), it wasn’t easy at first. “I thought I had no sense of rhythm at all,” Christine reflects. “I almost failed the percussion class in college.” But she stumbled into a drum circle while attending a music conference and immediately felt transformed by the energy. She learned to play congas and improvise freely. Inspired by the ease of handling drums, their spiritual depth, and historical significance, Christine became a “musical ambassador of peace,” bringing their healing potential to communities touched by significant trauma: Columbine High School, Ground Zero after 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Most recently, she worked with Iraqi refugees and created the first drum circle training program in northern Iraq. As a member of an integrative research team, she has published multiple studies on the scientific benefits of group drumming, including research that showed an increase in immunity and T-cells in participants of drum circles. Her book, Music Medicine: The Science and Spirit of Healing Yourself With Sound, goes deeper into music as a healing modality and teaches a paradigm of music that integrates the four directions and four elements with the four dimensions of the human being.  When it comes to spiritual background and beliefs, Christine is a self-described “smogasbordian.” She has been influenced by The Soul Saving Station for Every Nation, the Quakers, the Sufi lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan, and the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles—the latter in which her co-leading of the Drum Ministry has “really helped [her] consciousness of positive thought and affirmative prayer.” In her forties, she was adopted into the Lakota people after a sweat lodge purification ceremony and elaborate offerings of song, feast, and gifts. In addition to grassroots communities, Christine has also worked with the Department of Defense and many Fortune 500 companies including DuPont, Disney, and Verizon. For the general public, she offers multiple YouTube videos teaching simple rhythms with drummers from around the world.  Her other books include The Nature Sutras, The Healing Drum Kit, and The Art and Heart of Drum Circles. She is a contributing writer for magazines like US News and World Report, Fitness, and The Christian Science Monitor.  Ultimately, she feels her mission is to embody, with or without instruments, the music that moves through her and to support others in realizing that they, too, are music. Please join Mina Lee in conversation with this musician and poet of Earth’s wild beauty, and learn with us some ways to awaken through rhythmic and playful expression.

From the Intro: “In the 1970's, long before podcasts like our own, there were radio shows whose reach was perhaps more limited, but whose impact was still powerful. Among the best of those shows was “In the Spirit” on WBAI in New York City, in which Lex Hixon interviewed some of the best, most interesting spiritual teachers and thinkers of the 1970s—Alan Watts, Tarthang Tulku, Rabbi Zalman Schachter, Ram Dass. But what made the show really special was Hixon himself, a deep spiritual thinker and practitioner who would soon make his own mark, and whose insight and sincere questions made the show far more interesting. In 2016, Paul Cohen of Monkfish Publishing, published these interviews in a book edited by Sheila Hixon called Conversations in the Spirit: Lex Hixon's WBAI “In the Spirit” Interviews: A Chronicle of the Seventies Spiritual Revolution. We will be using the book, with permission from Monkfish, to look at some of these interviews in the context of where we are today.The first interview we want to examine is from October 8, 1978, with Sufi master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan (1916-2004), who is the son of Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), the first Sufi master in the West and the founder of Inayati or Universalist Sufism. This interview, unlike many others, was recorded on-location at the Abode of the Message, Pir Vilayat's Sufi spiritual community in New Lebanon, New York.”Using the interview as a jumping-off point, our dialogue explores the ongoing tension between universalism and particularism, ‘pure' and ‘syncretic' religions, and how to honor a tradition, such as Islamic Sufism, in the face of changes in spiritual perspective, some of which are embodied in Universalist Sufism. Along the way, we reflect on the life and legacy of these two spiritual giants, who were both a part of a larger web of figures on the forefront of the 1970's ‘spiritual revolution' in America, and its impulse towards interspirituality, unity, and spiritual freedom.To supplement our dialogue and exploration, we use samples from the original recording of this interview, which may be found here.If you are interested in the book, Conversations in the Spirit: Lex Hixon's WBAI “In the Spirit” Interviews: A Chronicle of the Seventies Spiritual Revolution edited by Sheila Hixon, it may be purchased here.Links:Charis Foundation for New Monasticism and InterSpiritualityGolden Turtle SoundSupport the show

Listen to Shaikh-al-Mashaik Mahmood Khan Youskine, senior Sufi representative of Hazrat Inayat khan's Sufism, in conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, exclusively on Intersections. They discuss the 11 building blocks of personality-building, as taught in Indian Sufism, how to refine and thoughtfully express our personality in our everyday thoughts, speech and actions, and the luminous life of Hazrat Inayat Khan and the heroic personal journey of Noor Inayat Khan.

“La “notte oscura dell'anima” è per i mistici un periodo di tristezza, paura, angoscia, confusione e solitudine, necessario per potersi avvicinare a Dio. In molti, quando provano ad uscire dal proprio ego, provano la sensazione di entrare in una nuova dimensione colma di dubbi, di ambiguità, di incertezze, un luogo in cui ci si sente persi e risulta quasi impossibile pensare con chiarezza. Il risveglio può esser molto doloroso per chi è troppo immerso nel proprio sogno. La nostra mente vorrebbe che tornassimo nel recinto, che smettessimo di esplorare i dintorni per tornare al punto di partenza, dal quale forse non saremmo mai dovuti uscire. È questa la temuta rassegnazione, il conformismo che ci spinge a credere che la nostra trasformazione personale non possa essere altro che un'utopia. Per evolvere e crescere, abbiamo bisogno di vivere delle “notti oscure”, periodi in cui emozioni come l'ansia o la disperazione si impossessano di noi, perturbando la nostra mente ed il nostro ego. Sono le notti in cui bisogna saper aspettare, perché altrimenti, tentennando e rinunciando, correremo il rischio di imbatterci nelle conseguenze della perdita, direttamente legata all'aver abbandonato la nostra zona di comfort. La ricerca di se stessi implica la capacità di continuare a camminare con fermezza, significa imparare a superare se stessi una volta ancora. Solo noi possiamo stabilire cosa vogliamo fare di noi stessi. Siamo gli unici ad avere una panoramica privilegiata sui fatti, a poter scorgere ciò che dal terreno non si può vedere." - Quello che gli occhi non vedono - “Non ci può essere rinascita senza una notte oscura dell'anima, un totale annientamento di tutto ciò che hai creduto e pensato di essere.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan -

This episode examines Kant's Transcendental Aesthetic to reveal some of the strange properties of space and time. It then turns to the nada Brahma of Hindustani philosophical tradition and the writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan to discuss the creation of space and time from the unstruck sound and how that makes music a special conduit to the truth. The last segment turns to Hindustani music and how its formal and performative elements enact a path of transcendence beyond space and time (and our entrapment in the cycle of birth and death) in order to connect with the nada Brahma.

For this episode of the podcast I am returning to one of my favourite styles and that is sound. This is the third instalment in my series of sound based guided meditations. The focus for these being the music and using it as your point of concentration for the duration of the practice. There is a small amount of speaking and guided practice in the beginning but after that I leave you to sit for however long you choose. The music will eventually fade and end. Hazrat Inayat Khan once said, “Sound is the force of creation, the true whole. Music then, becomes the voice of the great cosmic oneness and therefore an optimal way to reach a true state of healing.”   Please consider leaving a review online if you happen to enjoy the episode, helps me reach more people and spread the practice of meditation.   I truly appreciate each and every one of you who listen to and take something away from this podcast.

Netanel Miles-Yepez has a deep interspiritual heart. He is Hasidic and Sufi, founder of the Inayati-Maimuni Order in the Sufi lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan, and a professor of religious studies at Naropa University. He studied intimately with Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and together they wrote A Heart Afire, bringing us the stories and teachings of the early Hasidic masters. When Netanel is in the room, Rabbi Zalman is there also.
