Description
The Commanding Self explores the idea that certain universal responses can hinder human progress and understanding. This collection of previously unpublished work by Idries Shah offers insight into his approach to Sufism, which he believed had been distorted by external perspectives. Shah argues that much of the literature on Sufism has been written from a non-Sufi viewpoint, leading to confusion and chaos in the field. He seeks to present a more authentic understanding of the Sufi phenomenon, free from cultural preconceptions. This book serves as an introduction to Shah's broader work on the Sufi Way, providing a unique perspective on the subject.
