Becoming a Mystic. Beyond the Ordinary

In the book "Becoming a Mystic," Sufi master Ruslan Zhukovets recounts the story of his life, his search for and attainment of the Path, as well as his first mystical experiences and transformations. The author lifts the veil of mystery over questions such as: How, and at what moment does a person become a mystic? Is the search for God and the attainment of enlightenment the domain of the chosen few, or is it accessible to every person? From the book, the reader will learn about the states, revelations, and accompanying growth in understanding of the mystic, which have rarely been described before and remained hidden from external observers. This biography is also remarkable in that it tells about events of our modern times, making it relatable to readers through familiar realities of Russian life. The book will be of interest to anyone studying issues of spiritual development and self-exploration, the history and practice of mysticism, philosophy, and psychology.
