Sufi Journal of Mystical Philosophy & Practice

About

Sufi is a semi-annual journal for those seeking to understand the key messages of Sufism and devoted to the study of mysticism in all its aspects. The journal presents articles , essays and creative writings of fiction and non-fiction as well as poetry, photography and visual art, all of which relate in some way to the deepening of spiritual understanding - irrespective of religious denomination. Sufi examines closely the spiritual, social, and ethical principles by which sufis teach harmony and humanitarian values. Sufi also addresses the subtleties of psychological and heart-related issues by presenting mystical poetry and prose that help the student of spirituality seek out, confirm, and perceive unity in all creation. Sufi provides both a unique forum for those engaged in spiritual practices and furthers the understanding of Sufism and its relationship to other great spiritual traditions.
