Hindiyya Anne 'Ajaymi and Her Spiritual Journey: The Essential Lightness of Being (Analecta Gorgiana)

This is a preliminary study of aspects of the spiritual development of Hindiyya Anne Ajaymi, a Syro-Lebanese religious woman who lived from 1727 98. There is an analysis of the record of her major mystical experiences which, although the exact dates are not yet established, occurred between her adolescence and middle age. The record was written in Arabic and portions are here translated into English. This is followed by a translated excerpt from her Counsels that were composed later for the edification of the religious in her care.
