Gnosis and Islam: Paths of Inner Knowledge
Spiritual research and inner knowledge have always been central elements in the human experience, crossing different cultures and traditions with languages and practices that reveal a universal aspiration to a profound understanding of reality. Sufism, the esoteric heart of Islam, is one of the richest traditions of inner research, offering paths of spiritual transformation that have influenced not only the Islamic world, but the entire Mediterranean and Western civilization for centuries.
The encounter between Gnosis and Islam opens up prospects for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, showing how initiatory traditions can maintain their vitality and meaning even in the contemporary era. Sufism, with its meditative practices, its mystical poetry and its philosophy of divine love, represents a heritage of wisdom that dialogues with other spiritual traditions, offering keys to understanding the profound questions of human existence.
