From Mythology to Cosmology and Spirituality
::From Mythology to Cosmology and Spirituality::
The best way of encapsulating the central motif, the particular constellation of ideas that motivated the production of this company and the philosophy underlying this project is the following quotation from one of our great teachers Dr. Martin Lings, otherwise known as Shaykh Abū Bakr Sirāj al-Dīn, who died in 2005 at the age of 96 ; “Our aim is to express some of the universal truths which lie at the heart of all religions” quoted from the preface of his book The Book of Certainty.
Part of our aim and part of what driven us is trying to re-present the legacy of Dr. Lings and there by the Perennial Philosophy in the English language with the emphasis of the audio access. We want people to be able to hear on themes of perennial philosophy , comparative religion, and the deeper aspect of the mystical path in the traditions and to do this in a way that will be accessible on the internet through the spoken word with the emphasis of going back to tradition. In a certain way this new medium can be used in a postmodern way to actually go back to the pre-modern realities, to traditional realities and to traditional ways of expressing this wonderful truth that have been giving to all of us by the Almighty through all of our traditions and cultures.
