INTRODUCTION BY NAJEEB
KAZMI
On behalf of
“Family of the Heart”
and myself, I would like to welcome you to the seminar, “Mysteries of
Mysticism”. This is one of the seminars in a series aimed at creating an
atmosphere of learning and dialogue on subjects of interest. Our last seminar on
“Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and Religion” was a success and the dialogue which
followed over the net was very enriching.

inspire others to follow their hearts and discover their truth, unfortunately
there are others who sell spirituality.

NATURE OF MYSTICISM BY
DR. TAHIR M. QAZI
I
enthusiastically agreed for the talk but I was taken aback by

blind could lead but not an ignorant one. So, I am here with
some trepidation to talk about mysticism.

BEING BLESSED BY BEING BROKEN BY
Masud Sheikh
Many of you
might be wondering about the title of my talk. I will have to ask you to be
patient, since the choice of title will only get clear a little later in today’s
talk. I will start off by acknowledging one of two authors who have influenced
my paper of today. This author is M. Scott Peck, whose best known book is called
“The Road Less Traveled”. more.... |

Mysticism as a Doctrine of Love & Quantum Physics
A boy not quite nine years of
age met a girl a year younger than he and fell in love instantly. The boy was
Dante Alighieri. The girl was Beatrice. Twenty years later Dante wrote as his
inner being still cried out recalling that first sight of Beatrice, “Now is your
bliss made manifest” “Now has a God stronger than I come to rule over me.”
