Over the three decades I knew Moineddin Jablonski we enjoyed many intimacies, including countless hours of music-making, the study of Sufism under his guidance, and open, spacious darshans. I thought I knew him well. But in reading Illuminating the Shadow I received a newly clear, coherent picture of the whole man in all his glories and tortures, and I've come to love him as never before. Thanks to this savvy presentation of his writings, Moineddin's vision can now light the way for many more seekers of the realized life.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003eW. A.

This helped him, in a natural and unassuming way, to guide and hold together the community of Murshid Samuel Lewis' mureeds, which included various teachers who had been empowered by Murshid Sam or Pir Vilayat. Moineddin realized the need for all of us to acknowledge the psychological realm where we are often at the mercy of our ego-demands.\u003cbr\u003e \"He took on the difficult task of getting everyone to see that they would be held accountable for their actions. His numerous letters and writings clearly reveal his depth of thought. And while his manner was saintly and refined, at the same time he stood eternally strong in his relationship with his teacher and united with the great blood stream of Oneness, in which we live and move and have our being. He worked for harmony between all the lineages that trace themselves to Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan. All this and more made him a highly effective Pir, as this excellent book bears witness.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003eWali Ali Meyer\u003c\/b\u003e, co-author of \u003cb\u003ePhysicians of the Heart\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"...a rich compendium of anecdote and teaching of the eclectic and universalist shaman, Moineddin Carl Jablonski, direct heir to Samuel Lewis, Sufi and Zen master.

Earth herself is giving birth to what she must become. Upheaval-personal, societal, and geologic-are the labor and birth pangs which will create greater consciousness of spiritual reality for all. As each one of us is moved into Soul-consciousness, and we are being so moved, we will select our own modes of spiritual realization. What we now know as 'Sufism' will become vastly expanded and transformed. It will be like the reported meeting of Inayat Khan and Nyogen Senzaki. They entered samadhi together, 'and Sufism and Zen became like yesterday's dream.'\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-Moineddin Jablonski\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Douglas-Klotz, Moineddin Carl Jablonski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1530006333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781530006335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.87d","brand":"Neil Douglas-Klotz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985498145023,"sku":"9781530006335","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d1dd92e-dfac-4cd8-b4a4-ca4d70b86a52.jpg?v=1683277885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/illuminating-the-shadow-neil-douglas-klotz-9781530006335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
