The Degrees of the Soul

This course covers the secrets of the seven degrees through which the soul progresses as it travels the path to its Lord. It teaches the novice how to transform the Inciting Soul (al-nafs al-ammara), the lowest and the most egotistic of the self’s manifestations, into the Reproachful Soul (al-nafs al-lawwama), which must then become Inspired, Serene, Contented, and Found Pleasing, until it attains the ultimate degree of sanctity and wholeness as the Perfect Soul.
