Pir Elias Amidon

Love's Drum is an exquisite reflection on the nature of reality. With essays, practices and stories, the Sufi teacher Pir Elias Amidon leads us into the mysteries of nondual awareness, making clear its essence of unconditional acceptance.

The eleventh century Sufi Abdullah Ansari suggested that Sufism is simply another word for love. In Amidon's words, it is "what unites us with all being and becoming, and yet no matter how vast and inconceivable love is, it's still the most intimate nature of our present experience."

As he recounts events from his life, Amidon shows us the 'Äúopen path" he follows'Äîone of inclusion, lack of dogma, experiential understanding, and love in action. His life has been one of global activism in the areas of environmentalism, peace, and indigenous rights.

Through quotes from mystics, poets, philosophers, and spiritual teachers; simple practices for everyone; uncommon perspectives on human life; and wonderful stories illustrating depths of wisdom, readers can have their own experience of limitless awareness and hear the subtle beating of love's drum.
