Introduction to the Zikr: Remembering the Beloved -- Zikr Allah

The End of Silence
Sunday Talk 9:45am - 10:45am
Peter Kingsley
At any moment we can only say one thing, sing one tune. And whenever we speak about one thing, everything else remains silent. For thousands of years we have talked about thousands of things, but everyone has been silent about the sacred origins of our Western civilization: about the essential purpose of this world we live in. Now is the time to speak out about it again.
