Here is a treasury of daily wisdom from this most beloved of all the Sufi masters—both his prose and his ecstatic poetry—that you can use to start every day for a year, or that you can dip into for inspiration any time you need to break through the granite of your heart. -

An Esoteric History of the Spiritual Unfolding of Life on This Planet
By J.G. Bennett J.G. Bennett was working on this book when he died. He details the unfolding of Spirit in matter to yield its ultimate fruit: a conscious human being totally free of egoism. He considers the possibility of an inner circle of humanity exerting its influence to establish cosmic Love in human life. In the course of telling this story, Bennett touches on the most ancient spiritual traditions of humankind: the Savior God, the Great Mother, the Creator God, and the Great Spirit traditions. He offers his own insights into the real mission of Christ, and for a good part of the book examines the teaching methods of the Central Asian Sufis, the Khwajagan.
