Stillness of Being: The Black Latifa

By A. H. Almaas

On Demand

The hearts of many are weighed down with unease and agitation these days. A global pandemic, natural disasters, the inhumanity of armed conflicts, the divisiveness of politics, the toxic legacy of racism. How do we find a quiet clearing in the woods in the midst of all this? In this course, we will explore the bridge to that eternally still and peaceful place: The black latifa. It’s not just the absence of fear, self-doubt, animosity, turmoil, and the cacophony of human civilization. It is a living presence of silence that is the birthright of our spiritual nature.
