Hello,
It is me again. I have almost finished your book, but with your book I checked out another one out of the library. I don’t see it on your list (of 111, haven’t checked the long version so forgive me if it’s there) so I thought I’d pop by and let you know of it’s existence.
It’s written by a Western Sufi (my designation, not necessarily his) named Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and is titled, The Circle of Love. [ISBN: 1-890350-02-8, 1999, The Golden Sufi Center, Inverness, CA.]
Maybe you already have it in your library or have read it. If not, I believe, based on what I see listed by you here, that it would be a great addition to your reading list. It’s quite amazing and my first exposure to Sufi Mysticism. He also blends in many other faiths.
I’ll be back to purchase some books through your site in a week or so.
Blessings,
Jane
