Moineddin Jablonski (1942-2001) was the spiritual successor of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis. This collection, the first of his writings to be formally published, offers glimpses of Moineddin's wisdom, depth, humor and profound humanity.

This is a uniquely inspiring collection with beautiful wisdom from the world of Nature. Each aphorism shines like a fine, well-polished jewel, illuminating Everyday Life; Love, Lover and Beloved; Masters, Saints and Prophets; and Inner Life. His poems, most quite brief, and "haiku-like," have similar gemstone qualities. They share with us laughter, despair, family connections, aging, ecstasy, and other qualities and experiences human and divine.

Physicians of the Heart Wazifa Card Deck, a companion to the book

Based on the book, Physicians of the Heart

The cards of the 99 Beautiful Names of Allah were created in response to numerous requests and serve as an adjunct to the book Physicians of the Heart authored by Pir Shabda Kahn, Faisal Muqaddam, Imam Bilal Hyde, and Murshid Wali Ali Meyer. Each card provides a summary of a Divine Name, its pronunciation, and its number on the list of 99 Names. The number 99 serves as a symbol for an unlimited quantity.

The Beautiful Names are called the Sifat, or attributes of Allah. The words "Allah" and "God" refer to the ineffable Reality, the Essence of all things. The Sifat only exist as differentiated aspects of Allah. They are neither identical to nor distinct from the essence. The Names have historically been invoked as aids for awakening consciousness of the Divine.

Harmonic Experience: Tonal Harmony from Its Natural Origins to Its Modern Expression

An exploration of musical harmony from its ancient fundamentals to its most complex modern progressions, addressing how and why it resonates emotionally and spiritually in the individual.

W. A. Mathieu, an accomplished author and recording artist, presents a way of learning music that reconnects modern-day musicians with the source from which music was originally generated. As the author states, "The rules of music--including counterpoint and harmony--were not formed in our brains but in the resonance chambers of our bodies." His theory of music reconciles the ancient harmonic system of just intonation with the modern system of twelve-tone temperament. Saying that the way we think music is far from the way we do music, Mathieu explains why certain combinations of sounds are experienced by the listener as harmonious. His prose often resembles the rhythms and cadences of music itself, and his many musical examples allow readers to discover their own musical responses.

The Listening Book: Discovering Your Own Music

The Listening Book is about rediscovering the power of listening as an instrument of self-discovery and personal transformation. By exploring our capacity for listening to sounds and for making music, we can awaken and release our full creative powers. Mathieu offers suggestions and encouragement on many aspects of music-making, and provides playful exercises to help readers appreciate the connection between sound, music, and everyday life.

Bridges of Waves: What Music is and How Listening to It Changes the World

Music is, in one sense, merely a series of fleeting vibrations that arise and subside. How could it be that something so insubstantial fills us, and calms us, and makes us weep? Because, says W. A. Mathieu, music bridges mind and heart, self and other, and affirms our place in the world. Everyone uses the bridge of music, from casual listeners to devoted professionals. Mathieu's delightful and trenchant prose asks you to question what music is, how it works, and how to understand its value in your life, in the life of your community, and in the evolution of the cosmos.

The Musical Life

Everyone, according to W.A. Mathieu, is musical by nature—it goes right along with being human. And if you don't believe it, this book will convince you. In a series of interrelated short essays, Mathieu takes the reader on a journey through ordinary experiences to open our ears to the rich variety of music that surrounds us but that we are trained to ignore; such as the variety of pitches produced by different objects, like glassware, furniture, drums—anything you can tap; or sounds that hover on the border of music, like laughter, the clinking of glasses in a toast, or the unintentional falsetto produced by yawning. Along the way the author teaches aspects of music theory that nonmusicians might ordinarily shy away from. He reveals the way of music to be a profoundly spiritual path—one that is everyone's birthright.

The Shrine Thief

In this entrancing memoir, timeless questions about music and life are explored by a master musician in his 85th year. The stern father who built an empire of words; the solipsistic uncle whose hypnotic voice calmed millions: these are just early glimpses of Mathieu's memory. Soon he is crimped into an overhead baggage rack in Stan Kenton's tour bus as scenes of scotch-soaked melancholy play out below; he is sharing late-night quarts of ice cream with Duke Ellington in his hotel room; he is co-inventing improvisational theater at Chicago's Second City with Alan Arkin and Mike Nichols; he is receiving the title of Sufi sheikh from an heir of Inayat Khan; and he is gleaning wisdom from a woman bundling firewood in Bali.

In prose at once wry and lyrical, Mathieu carries the reader through the adventures and misadventures of a scintillating and deeply examined life.

By Asha Greer - This is a visual history of a forty-day retreat Asha did in the winter of 1989. "I decided to chronicle my experience daily as I had so few maps myself of retreats. None of the experiences I had read or heard about gave me a sense of what actually happens. This is my experience as honestly as I could chronicle it...Learning to be alone is not easy. Loving one's self enough to overflow love to others is not easy. Exploring our shadow is not easy. Developing a realistic version of reality is very hard. There are so many wonderful results of this hard work. A respect for life itself and its awesome mystery being among the greatest."
