Words from the Water's Edge

Words from the Water's Edge: The Mystical Writings of Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, is a comprehensive anthology of a Sufi teacher's writings, talks, and previously un-published pieces. Here, spiritual teachings about Sufism, Oneness, and Spiritual Ecology interweave with personal passages describing Vaughan-Lee's experiences as a young seeker driven by longing, through decades of being a Sufi spiritual teacher in a tumultuous modern world, to an aging mystic reflecting from where the two seas meet-- the place of no place where the inner and outer come together. The author's story is braided throughout chapters exploring the mystical relationship of lover and beloved, the power of love, how love nourishes both the soul and the outer world, and the spiritual roots of our ecological crisis. Again and again, Words from the Water's Edge points readers to the Original Instructions available to humanity that guide life aligned with a sacred cosmos. While sharing decades of visions, sorrows, and ecstasy, this remarkable book never leaves the mystical landscape of Vaughan-Lee's own heart, where love and life reveal their many secrets and nature is the first book of revelation.
