"True religion is a practical mysticism which finds God not only in the silence of the soul but also in all the affairs of life. The only mysticism that appeals to me is the kind which finds God in all things, in all men and in all experiences, and which goes out into the highways and byways and bears the heat and the burden of the day." — Henry Thomas Humbling, as quoted from the recording

This talk on two CDs explores the journey within the chambers of the heart, from the outermost chamber of love and longing to the complete extinction within the innermost chamber.
This is an expanded version of the talk given at the Sufi Conference in California, Fall 2008.

In this talk Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee describes the different lataif, or chambers of the heart. Each latifa represents a different stage on the spiritual journey, from awakening to longing to extinction in Truth. Llewellyn uses the images of the different chambers of the heart to tell his own personal story of this journey.

Two talks that take us back to the divine substance within ourself and within the world. Only this divine substance is real, and only when we live this substance are we living the reality of our divine truth.
Two talks on two CDs
The first talk draws from the book Three Early Sufi Texts: A Treatise on the Heart by al-Hakîm at-Tirmidhî, and describes the second station of the heart. The second talk addresses the nature of space, attending to space, and how as a path we work with space, we work with emptiness.
Three talks on two CDs
These three talks explore the cellular nature of love, how divine love embraces the whole of creation and carries the remembrance of its divine purpose. Sufis hold the secret of divine love and its real power. Through the hearts of those who belong to God an infusion of divine love can be given to the organic fabric of life. Then life can awaken and once again reveal its divine purpose.
Three talks from Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee's recent trip to Australia. Love’s Secret Substance looks at the mystery of the spiritual journey—how it is not you or I who makes the journey, but the substance within the heart. Dhikr describes the psychological and spiritual effect of this central Sufi practice. The Relationship with the Teacher explores the real nature of this relationship and why it is so easily misunderstood
Four talks on two CDs
Adab is spiritual courtesy or respect, a way to live in accordance with the soul's relationship with God. Inner Adab explores the inner dimension of spiritual courtesy, an attitude of behavior that protects the soul from the lower self and its patterns. Correct adab is the standard behavior proper to togetherness with the Lord.

These talks explore the alchemical work of the union of above and below. Bringing together the spiritual light from above and the light from below—the light hidden in matter—a new light is born, a new consciousness that is needed to help the world to evolve. The final talk is about the real nature of spiritual freedom.
Five talks on two CDs
Two talks that explore how we can work with what is real within life and help life in its reawakening.
God has created veils of light and darkness that separate us from Him. Traditionally the path teaches us to read these veils as signs that point us to the truth that lies behind them. However, in recent years humanity has also created its own veils, veils that distort our perception, and which lead only to more illusions. How can we know what is true in this world of distortion? How can we help the world when even our perception of the world is an illusion? There is a world that is waiting for us, that needs our presence, that needs the spark of our highest consciousness. Through our love and deepest desire for truth, we can be present in this primal world and help it to awaken.
In this unique series of talks, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee explores different dimensions of darkness, explaining how dark magic began with the misuse of the natural magic of creation. Through this misuse the natural harmony of life was distorted, and doorways to darkness were opened. If we are to restore the natural balance, we need to return to this misuse and undo its dark magic with the greater power of love. This series of talks was given in Hamburg and is in both English and German, with Bernd Jost giving the German translation. Normally Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee’s German talks are only available in Europe, but because this is such a unique series of talks that will not be given in America, we decided to make them available.

May we be those who shall renew this existence. — Zarathustra Our light carries the secret of our divine purpose. When we connect together with the light of others we can weave a web of light that carries our shared power and purpose: the potential to help the world come alive with the wonder and magic hidden within it. We can help the heart of the world open and begin to sing.
Through our practices, inner work, and aspiration we create a container for the light of the soul to guide and transform us. But there is another dimension of spiritual light, the light of the masters, that belongs to their work in the world. We are being asked to be a container for this light, to bring it into the world and so participate in their work of global transformation.
Through spiritual practice and inner work we access the divine light within us. How can we then use this light in service to the whole? How can we align our inner light so that it can nourish life and help the world to awaken? The world needs the light of spiritual consciousness for its transformation, and these two talks explore this relationship between the individual and the whole, between our own soul and the soul of the world.
Dreamwork is the modern equivalent of the ancient Sufi teaching stories. — Irina Tweedie Through dreamwork we connect with a hidden part of ourself, with the wisdom and guidance of our true self. We also work to reclaim our symbolic consciousness, the forgotten feminine mode of thinking through which the deeper meaning of life reveals itself. And for the mystic the practice of dreamwork is a preparation for the work of catching the divine hint, reawakening the mystical consciousness through which the signs of God become known.
