Essays are included on topics such as existence, spiritual cognition, and levels of knowing. Kabir Helminski is the author of numerous works on Islamic spirituality, including Living Presence. Prince Ghazi Bin Muhammad is the author of The Sacred Origin of Sports and Culture. He is the cultural secretary to H. M. King Hussein of Jordan.
