Collected in entirety for the very first time, this study reflects more than 25 years of close contact with the Sufi Masters of Central Anatolia, with much of that time spent in the presence of the peerless Sufi teacher Mr. Ahmet Kayhan.

SuperVisions by Dr. Dorothy Mead and Michael Kovitz is a novel that explores the intersection of modern Western psychology and the teachings and metaphysics of the East. (From the Latin super, 'over', and vidêre, 'to watch, or see'.) We are born with a map, but we quickly forget. "children guessed (but only a few and down they forgot as up they grew)." - e.e cummings. And so we learn to rely on the guidance from others whom we presume, we trust, we hope, have a wiser vision. These people influence us, and in turn we influence others. But where does it leave us? Where does it all lead? These are the questions weaving throughout the tale of SuperVisions.
