Esotericism with Aziza Scott

ESOTERICISM WITH AZIZA SCOTT
Part of our Sufi Message Online Series
Thursdays, April 7 through 21, 2016

In this modern time we ask ourselves, “Who are we?” There are many levels of consciousness to be known. There is the body, the mind, the heart and the soul. The soul is consciousness, both cosmic and transcendent. Esotericism is the study of the inner life. Through spiritual practice the soul becomes like a mirror reflecting the divine nature.

Through this three-part series we will explore and experience the nature of the soul.
