Meister Eckhart says “A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.” Munir will speak about what it means to come out of our burrows, peel off our thick hides and face down the shadow with courage and clarity. It’s what’s under the hide that’s important. That’s “The Love that Knows No Other”.
Lived by Life – On Purpose
Munir will speak about purpose from the Sufi perspective. The Sufi poet Sa’di says, “Every soul is created for a certain purpose and the light of that purpose has been kindled in that soul.” This may sound reassuring to the mind, but how do we uncover this? Regardless of appearances, we’re actually being lived by something tremendous – Life itself. Our willingness to question assumptions and let go leads to a change in orientation and context, beginning an adventure into unknown possibilities of increasing fulfillment and happiness. This talk explores this shift and Hazrat Inayat Khan’s five innate longings that lead us to our deepest purpose.

A Guest Am I
A guest am I in this world of transient things.
Unfettered by the entanglements thereof,
I am of no country No boundaries hold me.

Teaching – Inland NW Sufi Camp 2025
My presentation this morning could be called Fun Facts About You as Light. Knowing you’re aware is the only thing you can be aware of that isn’t an object… a thought, feeling. a chair, a memory. It’s the only thing you can be aware of. Isn’t that fascinating? It’s absolute knowledge. And how do you know this? How do you know you are aware?
Easter as the Collapse of Opposites
Easter presents us with the mystery of divinity entering into the world of form. Jesus taught and lived a radically new human paradigm in which the apparent opposites of life collapse into wholeness. Awakening to this same divinity in ourselves, our core self, we know only wholeness, wisdom and peace. Living from the inside out is the resurrection of divinity in all that we touch, and is the ultimate embrace of the unknown.
