Academy of Self-Knowledge
"MAPS OF TRUTH FOR THE SINCERE SEEKER, IN THE JOURNEY IN THIS LIFE
AND THE HEREAFTER"
Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri, Founder
The Academy offers a course on "The Illumined Perception of
Realities," based on the Prophetic Life Transaction the
Deen of Islam. It is a one-year programme in three modules
that explores the natural ways of the Creator, the divinely
inspired Prophetic path, and the knowledge of the self and the
world.
The programme is here to help you discover who you truly are. How
the worlds, known and unknown, are manifest from the One source,
sustained by Its universal divine essence.
Happiness is a by-product of seeing things as they are, relating
to them appropriately and relying on inner sight. Unless you
realize the everlasting soul within, and refer to it the outer
world will always distract and confuse you.
A reliable world-view will emerge when you know your roots, the
Divine ways and the world as it is.
Your remedy is within you, but you do not perceive it.
Your illness is within you, but you do not see it.
Enfolded within you is the entire cosmos,
And you are the evident book, which
By its letters, makes manifest what is to become manifest.
Do not look for fulfilment beyond yourself;
All is within your reflection if you can only reflect.
- Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib [See
