Embark on a Journey into the Heart of Reality with Shaykh al-Akbar, Ibn Arabi.
Bab Al Ilm is honored to invite you to a profound exploration of Islamic cosmology and ontology as envisioned by one of history's most influential mystics, Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi.
Join Latifa Shahab as she guides us through the intricate beauty of Ibn Arabi's understanding of the cosmos – the structure of existence and the nature of Being itself. This session goes beyond mere theory, grounding these profound insights within the practical framework of a Moon Mansion Contemplation practice.
Drawing from her personal journey within the Inayatiyya Sufi tradition and deep study inspired by Ibn Arabi's Futuhat al-Makkiyya (The Meccan Illuminations), Latifa will share:
Core Concepts: Gain clarity on Ibn Arabi's cosmology, ontology, and the significance of the 28 Lunar Mansions.
The Celestial Mirror: Understand how the Moon, in its cyclical journey, reflects and magnifies specific Divine Names and Attributes associated with each Mansion.
From Knowledge to Practice: Discover accessible methods to engage with this wisdom through contemplation, connecting the celestial rhythms to inner spiritual unfolding.
Bridging Worlds: Explore the fascinating links between Ibn Arabi's mystical astrology, the fixed stars (asterisms), Divine Names, and personal spiritual experience.
This is a unique opportunity to delve into the sophisticated spiritual universe of Ibn Arabi and learn how ancient cosmological wisdom can become a living, transformative practice in your own life. Whether you are a long-time student of Ibn Arabi or new to his teachings, this presentation offers rich insights and practical pathways for contemplation.
Don't miss this chance to connect the map of the cosmos to the landscape of your soul.
