Henri Corbin
“Henry Corbin was perhaps the greatest of all the modern day Sufis. In this book, The Spiritual Body and Celestial Earth he clearly reveals the esoteric or occult side of Sufism, which he traces back to the ancient Magi and Zoroaster. Its value lies in the remarkable esoteric anthology of sufi translations of the works of some of the greatest Sufi thinkers, including the great Ibn A’rabi. The 170 page anthology takes up the major portion of the book. The Celestial Earth, we find, is a symbol, an esoteric blind, used to veil the secret future home of elect. It is a New World of Light, a paradise similar to the Garden of Eden, which it is hinted will someday be the etherial condition of the Earth.”
