Sufi discourses, the self, and the body (2/2) – Muhammad Faruque, Om-gnosis 3
In this third episode of Om-gnosis, the second of a two-part interview, Dr. Muhammad Faruque continues his interview with Dr. Keith Edward Cantú on how Sufi discourses can inform our understanding of self and the body. Dr. Faruque answers questions about diagrams in Sufi texts and resemblance with diagrams in Kabbalah, the interplay of fanā' or "annihilation" and baqā' or "subsistence" in Sufism, the connection between Sufism and occultism and unseen phenomena more generally, Sufi conceptions of selfhood as compared to that of philosophical theorists, and a song by Lalon Sai that references Mansur al-Hallaj in connection with the pronoun “I.”
Hosted by Keith Cantú.
