“To be fully human is to fulfill our spiritual destiny.”
Kabir Edmund Helminski, The Knowing Heart: A Sufi Path of Transformation

“Love is the motivation behind every yearning. In all of life, Love is seeking to discover itself. We com einto this world, and we experience a profound forgetfulness; we are asleep. Everything that happens from then on is the process of waking up to the fact that Love brought us here, that we are loved by a Beneficent Unseen Reality, and that the core of our being is Love. The whole purpose and meaning of creation is to discover the secret of Love.”
Kabir Edmund Helminski

“Furthermore, we exist in a psychologically fragmented state, a state of continuous inner conflicts among the parts of ourselves. We have lost the principle of unity within ourselves. We are not only psychological polytheists, worshipping gods of our own creation, we are “polyselfists,” because we have many selves and have not known our essential self.”
Kabir Helminski, The Knowing Heart: A Sufi Path of Transformation
