Bismillah. I haven't visited this site in a long time, but things have changed. If you have a question, ask me, but only in my field of expertise, the meeting of mind and spirit, culture and religion, mysticism and faith. If you want, read the Qur'an and Divine Names pieces at this site, then go to karimavargasbushnell.com and look at the Intercultural and Interfaith areas. Then you won't waste your time or mine, and I'll be pleased to answer you. Hu!

Light Upon Light will soon be hosting classes! Our first offering will be:

Mysticism and Practice in World Religions – 2 hours

The Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna said, “There are some who have heard of sugar, some who have tasted sugar, and some who can go and eat it whenever they like.” This “sugar” is spiritual reality, directly encountered and minutely described by mystics throughout the ages. Discover the surprisingly similar stories and ‘road maps’ left by these pioneers of the unseen worlds.

Dates, location and costs are TBA. Please contact [email protected] with any questions. More details to come!

Whether you celebrate the winter holidays religiously or just take the time to be with those dear to your heart, we send warmth and blessings to all. Please keep those less fortunate than yourselves in your prayers and please take any opportunities that arise to be generous. May Allah keep you and your loved ones warm tonight, and know you are cherished in the arms of the divine.
Much love.
