The Wine of Annihilation
A Complete Journey Through Sufi Mysticism: Rumi, Hafiz, Ibn Arabi, and the Path to the Divine Beloved

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The Sufis speak of a wine that is drunk before the vine was created, the love that dissolves the self in the Beloved. The Wine of Annihilation is a complete journey through Sufi mysticism, from its first flames to its living heart.

In thirty-one chapters, Rob Newton traces the path from Hasan al-Basri and Rabia through tawhid, the Ninety-Nine Names and Ibn Arabi's unity of being. He maps the inner terrain of the Sufi path: the stations and states, the seven levels of the nafs, the subtle centers of the heart, fana and baqa, dhikr, sama and the whirling dance, and the imaginal world. The book then turns to the great masters: Hallaj, Sanai, Attar and The Conference of the Birds, Rumi, Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Hafiz and the Indo-Persian poets, and closes with the heart that contains every tradition.

Written to be lived, not only studied.
