Unviversal Tree & the Four Birds by Muhyiddin Ibn'arabi
Through the story of the universal tree, representing the complete human being, and the four birds, representing the four essential aspects of existence, Ibn 'Arabi explains his teaching on the nature and meaning of union with God. Providing an excellent initiation into the often complex works of Ibn 'Arabi, this brief, delightful tale is the first English translation of an important, early work, complete with Arabic text, commentary, and notes.
"In the history of monotheistic spirituality, in particular its Western, Abrahamic branch incorporating Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, there is really no one, from taproot to topmost leaftip, like Muhyiddin Ibn 'ArabiThis short, lyrical and evocative book, with a conceptual spine strong as tensile steel, makes a rich perspective palpably real to the reader through the eloquence of its imagery and the uniqueness of its author's unforgettable voice." Rafi Zabor
