About this title

From the Publisher:

Not unlike "Journeys with a Sufi Master" by Bashir M. Dervish, this enthralling book falls into the category described by Idries Shah in "The Commanding Self" as "designed to produce a certain preparatory climate in the mind of the reader or to inform those who are not able to understand the total implications of a person's function. These books have a value which is not immediately obvious, but which is useful in many ways...Those who are prepared to see the 'wave as an aspect of the sea' can learn that the book, a part of its content, is a stepping-stone to something else."

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

I wanted to know more than can be found in books about the enigmatic tribe of the Quresh, the shrine-keepers of Mecca from whose bosom Mohammed sprang; beyond the few bare hints usually quoted: about some ancient endowment, some spiritual specialization, which the Quresh tribe guarded and developed.
