{"product_id":"the-knowing-heart","title":"The Knowing Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs human beings we stand on the threshold between two realities: the world of material existence and the world of spiritual Being. The \"knowing heart\" is the sacred place where these two dimensions meet and are integrated.  In Sufi teaching the human heart is not a fanciful metaphor but an objective organ of intuition and perception. It is able to perceive all that is beautiful  lovely  and meaningful in life  and to reflect these spiritual qualities in the world  for the benefit of others. Every human heart has the capacity and the destiny to bring that world of divine reality into this world of appearances.  The Sufis  mystics of Islam  have been educators of the heart for some fourteen centuries. Their teachings and methods are designed to help us awaken and purify the heart  to learn to listen to our deepest knowing. In The Knowing Heart  Kabir Helminski presents the Sufi way as a practical spirituality suitable for all cultures and times - and offers insights that are especially valuable for our life in todays world. In cultivating a knowing heart  we learn to experience a new sense of self  transform our relationships  and enhance our creative capacities. Most important  we learn how to meet the spiritual challenge of our time: to realize our sacred humanness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964415635509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1570624089","price":51.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781570624087.jpg?v=1770460341","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-knowing-heart","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
