Transmission of Sufi experience, from Rumi to Ibn Arabi, direct from the source texts. Long-form video essays and original translations from Arabic, Persian, and French:

Ibn Arabi’s Futuhat al-Makkiyya, Rumi’s Masnavi, Niffari’s Mawaqif, al-Ghazali, Abdul Qadir Jilani, Rabia al-Adawiyya, Suhrawardi, Najm al-Din Kubra, Simnani, Qunawi, and the masters between them.

The occasional turn toward Hermetic, Neoplatonic, and Christian mystical sources where the traditions illuminate each other.

Sufi cosmology, Sufi poetry, and the practice of dhikr.

Books under James Fleming. God-focused above all else.

“I was a Hidden Treasure, and I loved to be known.”

— Hadith qudsi
