    Evenings with Idries Shah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
    Evenings with Idries Shah collected by R. Easterling and Kamil Hafiz.The Sufis have been using carefully constructed stories for teaching purposes for thousands of years. Though on the surface these often appear to be little more than entertaining fairy tales or folktales, they enshrine - in their characters, plots, and imagery - patterns and relationships that nurture a part of the mind not reachable in more conventional ways, thus increasing our understanding, flexibility, and breadth of vision. In this little book, Idries Shah explains the nature of the teaching story and how the listener might approach this amazing material. ungekürzt.

    Knowing How to Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 650min
    Contemporary esoteric systems almost always play on the desire of mankind to seek or acquire knowledge. All but universally neglected in such systems are the often unrecognized barriers which prevent knowledge and understanding.Before learning can take place, certain conditions and basic factors must be in place, in the individual or the group. Building on the foundations laid in Learning How to Learn and The Commanding Self, Idries Shah in Knowing How to Know illuminates those factors. Like ultraviolet light shone onto the petals of flowers, it reveals concealed patterns, normally invisible to our customary modes of thought. ungekürzt.

As with all of his works, The Magic Monastery is rich in thought-provoking material, and can be listened to and enjoyed at many levels. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ault.

Sometimes Nasrudin is an impoverished itinerant or stallholder, and at others, he is the mayor, judge, vizier, or even the King.The World of Nasrudin is the fourth book in the corpus written by Idries Shah, and is the last to be published by the celebrated Afghan author. ungekürzt.

    Tales of the Dervishes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, Dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of a fable, legend, or folklore.They stand comparison in wit, construction, and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little-known in the modern world, that no technical or popular terms exist to describe them.The material in Tales of the Dervishes is the result of a thousand years of development, during which Dervish masters used these and other teaching stories to instruct their disciples. The tales are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the ordinary man. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ault.

And we know which are the dreams. Therein lies the hope. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ault. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/040932/bk_acx0_040932_sample.mp3.

    The Secret Lore of Magic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
     First published in 1957, The Secret Lore of Magic contains within it a series of major source books of magical arts. Many of them translated into English for the first time, these works are annotated. The book’s title in itself signaled the fact that the bulk of material in this bibliographical study had never been published openly before. Together with Oriental Magic, which appeared in the preceding year, it provided a complete survey of fundamental magical literature and thus a comprehensive reference system for psychologists, ethnologists, and others interested in the rise and development of human beliefs. Both books also introduced the general audience to dependable information about what was a shadowy and confusing subject.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ault.

    Thinkers of the East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 252min
    Thinkers of the East is a collection of anecdotes and "parables in action" illustrating the eminently practical and lucid approach of Eastern Dervish teachers. Distilled from the teachings of more than 100 sages in three continents, this material stresses the experimental rather than the theoretical - and it is that characteristic of Sufi study which provides its impact and vitality. The emphasis of Thinkers of the East contrasts sharply with the Western concept of the East as a place of theory without practice, or thought without action. The book's author, Idries Shah, says, "Without direct experience of such teaching, or at least a direct recording of it, I cannot see how Eastern thought can ever be understood." ungekürzt.
