SHAH AUDIO
AN ADVANCED PSYCHOLOGY OF THE EAST
A lecture delivered before a live audience, plus teaching stories and narratives selected from two of ShahÇs works: The Way of the Sufi and The Magic Monastery
Idries Shah, selections read by The London College of Storytellers This two-tape set contains one of the only available live lectures by Shah given before an audience in the mid1970s. Shah talks about the correct approach the student needs to take in order to learn as well as the characteristics that aid the student in his study of Sufism and those which are detrimental to it. He also outlines the duties, qualities, and attributes of the Sufi teacher and describes the 'Five Subtleties,' or centers of spiritual perception the student has to experience in his development. People read stories and they ransack books for Sufi exercises and psychological or spiritual techniques and then, remarkably often to our way of thinking, they set about trying to employ these things. Well, of course, it does surprise us because if I were to find a textbook on surgery, I wouldn't try to take out my own appendix, just because I'd read it and there were diagrams.
