THE DERMIS PROBE

Idries Shah
Octagon Press, London, 1980

The Dermis Probe is a study of impediments in current thought that block higher forms of understanding between people. The space-age sounding title was suggested over 800 years ago by 'The Blind Ones and the Elephant,' a story immortalized in Rumi's Mathnavi.

Even if false gold makes man happy:
At the mint it will be identified.—Rumi

Yes, the world is an illusion.
But Truth is always being shown there.—Subhani

'Like a peep-show into a world most people do not imagine exists.'
