Ibn Arabi Explained Why You Can not Find God by Searching

What if the God you are searching for has been closer to you all along? In this speech, we explore Ibn Arabi’s most powerful lesson about the search for God, from the teachings of the man the Sufis called Ash-Shaykh al-Akbar, the Greatest Master. You will journey through his life, from Andalusia to Mecca and Damascus, and his famous meeting with the philosopher Ibn Rushd. You will also learn his ideas of the heart as a mirror, the wonder of bewilderment (hayra), God’s nearness and transcendence, and why every moment is a fresh meeting with the Real. This talk is for anyone who feels a spiritual ache, a restlessness they cannot name, or a longing for something deeper. It is told in simple English, with real history and no exaggeration.
