Karin Jironet – författare

This fascinating new book is a unique and ground-breaking exploration of both Carl Gustav Jung's psychology and Hazrat Inayat Khan's Sufism.The vast worlds of Sufi self-realization and the Jungian individuation process are brought together in this in-depth study. Drawing on Carl Jung’s analytical psychology and Inayat Khan’s teachings on the path of the heart, and culminating in an imagined encounter between Jung and Inayat Khan, the book traces shared themes such as imagination, purification, alchemy, music, the awakening of the senses and love. It reveals how both thinkers respond to the human longing for inner unity and higher meaning in a fragmented world, and their dialogue – joined by echoes of Rilke, Nietzsche, and others – brings abstract ideas to life. Apart from theoretical underpinnings, the reader is also invited to learn about these often well-guarded methods, practices and disciplines.A compelling blend of scholarship and creativity, Sufi scholars and Jungian psychoanalysts will find this a mutually enriching and indispensable guide for psycho-spiritual development.
