Much is heard of the voice of 'women's liberation' and debate ensues concerning women's rights in modern society. Undoubtedly, where there is suppression and limitation of natural abilities, there is a case for the reformation of law and attitude. But whether this will result in the exchange of one set of frustrations for another remains to be seen. Is the disposition and the assumed right to do as you please synonymous with real freedom? Irina Tweedie would certainly replay that it is not - rather it is a mental state, independent of worldly circumstance, which has to be earned through spiritually-guided self-discipline.

Little did Irina Tweedie know that her trip to India in 1959, at the age of fifty-two, would mysteriously lead her to a Sufi Master, and set her upon a journey to the "heart of hearts," the Sufi path of realization. Bhai Sahib's first request of her was to keep a complete diary of her spiritual training, everything, all the difficult parts, even all the doubts. He predicted that one day it would become a book and would benefit people around the world. This diary spans five years, making up an amazing record of spiritual transformation... the agonies, the resistance, the long and frightening bouts with the purifying fires of Kundalini, the perseverance, the movements towards surrender, the longing and finally the all-consuming love. From a psychological viewpoint, the diary maps the process of ego dissolution, gradually unveiling the openness and love that reside beneath the surface of personality. Mrs. Tweedie is the first Western woman to be trained in this ancient lineage. Her story and experiences testify that this teaching system can still be powefully trasformative today in our modern world.
