In this very long video, I give an introduction to one of the most significant, yet often misunderstood thinkers and mystics in history - Ibn 'Arabi.

The video will be released in parts soon as well, but I wanted to put this up first as an epic, full introduction to his life and ideas.

As a Sufi Sheikh from the Tijanya Order and West African (Senegal), I've been reading Ibn Arabi's work and many other Sufis like Ghazali, Ruzbahani and Abu Yazid al- Bastami for 16 years now

And i don't really find Ibn Arabi doctrine hard to understand at all. Well at least not when you are initiated into fanā and Baqā. And He was wrong about being The Khatim-il Awliya something he later rectified himself

What a difficult topic you have picked for yourself. I am saving this video to listen to it again. It took me over a year to finish reading the (abridged) english version, the only one I could find, of the Fusus al Hikam, (the settings of the wisdom, I think it means). I kept having to go back and refer to a previous chapter, and kept putting the book down so I could take the time to absorb the amazing ideas he put forth. I have a total fascination with his works. Thank you so very much for this.

These are some great videos. I used to study this stuff a lot and kept finding the same threads in different religions. I was also deep into science and atheism at the time. It's strange to think about how taken in by my own self I was. The part about self-worship is something I was just thinking about. It all comes together the best work of our neuroscientists and sociologists confirms a general theory like this. As of course we see in Advaita, Daoism, Buddhism, etc.. all roads lead to Damascus it seems. As one might expect with Truth. I eventually found my way into the Perennialist corner and then gave Christian mysticism a go. There are so many people that have great wisdom, I am sure much oral tradition was circulated before we know. Anyway great videos I will check to see if you've done one on the Theologia Germanica

Thank you for this most excellent presentation. It is absolutely important to clearly distinguish between a philosopher and a mystic as their respective natures are fundamentally different from one another. Whilst a philosopher's source of knowledge is intellectual speculation, a mystics source of knowledge is the transcendence of individuality/selfhood, thus in a way becoming knowledge itself. Even though a mystic may use his intellect and reason to communicate his insight to others, this does under no circumstances make him a philosopher.

I'm getting chills watching this. I have never read any of his works, but plan to now. As a psychedelic enthusiast, his teachings are very eerie. I had also came to very similar internal revelations when taking LSD and DMT. On DMT, you almost separate completely from your body and soul, and become the ethereal, raw, true spirit, and intuitively know that you and the person that lit the pipe for you are the same person, and that the normal "reality" that you return to is false. Very eerie.

I know I'm late to the show, but this is fascinating! Contrasting Ibn 'Arabi to Maimonides is like night and day! It took the Baal Shem Tov and Chassidus to incorporate a lot of similar ideas in their interpretation of the divine many years later. I've never studied the Islamic sages and Ibn 'Arabi was a man many centuries before his time!

This video is the best video I have watched on youtube!

Thank you for introducing Ibn Arabi to me. I have recently adopted the Quran into my life and this has connected some big dots for me. I've always had a feeling that this description of Allah was the way Arabi explains it but could never quite make sense of it in my head. I have heard it described by non-muslims but something was missing.

K Bone

1 year ago

Ibn 'Arabi has always been one of my favorite Sufi thinkers, and Saracen Spain was an amazing blossoming. In my opinion, he was not a mystic, but only spoke as if he was one. This was because of the linguistic tools and socio-cultural structure of the time, which also fed the general self-preservation instincts (I am sure he was aware of them). It is the ESSENCE of the philosophical, religious, and metaphysical which is being distilled (see the story the different blind people looking for "grapes"... as well as the metaphor of turning grapes into wine ). To become Truth Realized, as I think IA was, is to become something of a heretic. As such, I think that is why your professor said what he said about "understanding" him. IA spoke as a butterfly, and your professor was likely still a caterpillar.

Pankaj Priyadarshi

Well researched and well spoken. You have done reasonable justice to the wonderful writings of the great thinker.

Heard a good part of of it. Many are so wise, logical and deep.

It is however, not wise for any of us to impose our (current) understanding on the meanings. It is best to present the teachings/sayings as they are.

As a Thelemite and modern Gnostic theurge (in the sense of pursuing spiritual experiences) there are many elements of this guy's life and theology that really synch up with my own, except that on a scale of 1:10 my experiences are like a 4 compared with ibn Arabi's 11.

Well that sounded familiar, nothing and everything as the cradle of creation, in every breath. Beautiful and very inspiring documentary, thank you

This is great. Thank you so much for making this available to us. I wish there was some online discussion on how he compares and differs with other philosophical schools on metaphysics and cosmology.

THANK YOU - I have enjoyed this so much, given me so much pleasure & joy. I was brought up in the christian/catholic faith & though both my parents walked the walk (as opposed to people who worship for one hour per week & therefore consider themselves 'good' no matter their behaviour outside church/temple/whatever your place of worship). they were both active in their community, quietly helping others. however when I was 7, walking home from school suddenly realised I did not 'believe' in the teachings/religion. whether or not jesus was/is god - his teachings were sound/good/right - the problem is the people who have strayed from what he taught - and turned worship of GOD to worship of Jesus. here in the thoughts of my muslim brothers (& sisters?) I find truth and solace, wisdom and understanding. as much as I find connection here, as a woman, I simply cannot submit to the muslim religion, as much as I find connection - it would interfere with my path, my relationship with GOD. again, here I find such joy & wisdom. all rivers flow from the same source - my GOD is all, everything, love, truth beauty. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

That was an excellent introduction! You are a very talented popularizer, happy to have found your channel. I was listening to podcasts by Peter Adamson from Philosophy without any Gaps. Its a great resource too, but there is something missing when you can only hear the voice and not see the person talking or be able to read the quotes or leave comments. So, your style and delivery format here on YouTube work extremely well.

What a beautiful video! Thank you so much. This really reminds me of Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka philosophy. I wonder if there is any possibility that ibn Arabi had access to Buddhist texts in his lifetime.

Sheesh, this is like exactly what I received. I use the metaphor of the wind blowing on the water, but also used light and a prism. It's because a person can make nothing except based on what is in themself.

It seems I need to learn more of this man, because all of this is making too much sense for it to be as your teacher said.

I was raised in an American Roman Catholic family, and this is the first time I ever really payed attention to Ibn 'Arabi. Rumi has been part of my heart and life for years, but after hearing this, I intend to read much more about him. It struck me how much his path seemed like Jesus. At least he didn't have to deal with the Romans. Thank you for this wonderful introduction.
