Review: breathtaking - One of the best books on esoteric Persian thought I've ever read; immensely scholarly and yet largely readable, though very rich and thick with insight in places you'll want to slow down and really absorb. (A newcomer to Ibn 'Arabi's writings, I'm reviewing this book from a depth-psychological point of view.) If you've read my other reviews you know I'm a relentless critic of unreadable writing, much of which is symptomatic of a narcissistic unavailability better dealt with in therapy than through a publisher or fan club. Corbin is not easy to follow in places, but it's the concentration of the material that makes for more careful study--and makes more careful study worthwhile. I was particularly moved by the image of the saddened God breathing out a sigh at being unknown, a sigh that made space for humans to reflect God back to God and thereby become the "secret treasure." Corbin's criticism of "becoming one with God" mirrors Buber's of "doctrines of absorption": both praise a dialog between person and the Divine rather than a reduction of one to the other. Note to students of James Hillman: while many of Hillman's ideas can be found here (the heart as an organ of soulful perception, for instance), Ibn 'Arabi makes a clear, non-Hillmanic distinction between Forms (Images) of God and the ineffable true God that shines through the Forms like light through stained glass. This distinction does not exist for archetypal psychology, which collapses the archetypal image into the archetype itself and regards extra-psychic activities as outside its purview.
Review: The Real Deal! - In a day and age of shallow hype passing for spiritual knowledge, this book shines brightly. True spiritual meaning will leap from the pages! For me a hard read but so so rewarding. So buckle up my friend and climb on your magic carpet ( meditation rug ) and get ready for a true adventure. My heart soars! So blessed to have this book. Thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a book!
*by B***3 on September 14, 2023*

Truly one of the greatest books I've ever read. I've never read Ibn Arabi (yet, I definitely will after reading this), so i don't know how accurate this is to his ideas. But whether this book is accurate or not, I still absolutely loved it. The ideas in this book are absolutely amazing, for me at least, regardless of their source, Ibn Arabi or Corbin.
