Have you ever pondered the mystery of consciousness dwelling within you, the difference between "Nafs" (Soul/Self) and "Ruh" (Spirit), or the true nature of the "Qalb" (Heart) that does more than just pump blood? In a world increasingly immersed in materialism, the profound meanings conveyed by sacred scriptures and spiritual traditions across millennia about these inner essences have become obscured.
"
Beyond the Body: The Nafs, Ruh, and Qalb, The Lost Truth in Sacred Scriptures" is your guide to reclaiming this lost depth. It takes you on a captivating journey through Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, delves into the wisdom of Ancient Egypt, Persia, India, China, and Japan, and explores the visions of Gnostics, Manichaeans, Yazidis, and others.
