Inner Knowing is a series of short videos exploring the spiritual path. The core of the message conveyed and embodied by the prophets and sages across time and space is that there is a way to polish the heart to awaken one’s true spiritual nature. Inner knowing exists within us all, but it is through the light of Beauty, Virtue, and Truth that we can pass through the veils of illusion that cover the eye of the heart and come into the remembrance of the Reality behind all forms.

Rumi said that the Prophet Muhammad was not “unlettered” because he couldn’t read but because he didn’t need to read, since he was taught directly by the Divine through an awakening of his heart. The essence of his teaching is the way of awakening our hearts to an inner knowing (ma’rifa) of the Supreme Unity that gives rise to multiplicity out of a love to be known.

Each video in the series focuses on a central theme: Experience, Intimacy, Truth, Reflection, and Love. The videos, narrated by poet and teacher @BarakaBlue, feature vintage footage from around the Muslim world, including rare footage of the Hajj pilgrimage from the 1970’s. This series is made in collaboration with our friends @houseofgul.
