EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Bulent Rauf, a prominent figure in the realm of spirituality and esoteric knowledge, is seen in the late 1980s, a few years before his passing. Bulent Rauf, born in 1911, was a descendant of the esteemed Ismail Pasha, Vice-regent of Egypt, and held close connections to the Ottoman imperial house. In 1945, he married his second cousin, Princess Faiza of Egypt, who was the sister of King Farouk of Egypt. Their marriage ended in the early 1960s. Later in life, Rauf settled in England and married his second wife, Angela Culme Seymour. He dedicated many years of his life to the establishment of a profound body of knowledge based on the understanding of the absolute unity of existence. Rauf was a pioneer in the founding of the Beshara Trust and subsequently the Beshara School of Intensive Esoteric Education at Chisholme House in the Scottish Borders. Since 1975, this institution has welcomed hundreds of students, who have studied the fundamentals of spirituality under Rauf's guidance. Rauf's commitment to the propagation of spiritual wisdom extended beyond the Beshara School. He was the first president of the Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society, an organization dedicated to the dissemination of the works of the great Andalusian mystic. His most significant literary achievement was the complete rendering into English of Ibn Arabi's Fusus al-Hikam (Settings of Wisdom), which included the Turkish commentary attributed to Ismail Hakki Bursevi. Throughout his life, Rauf was deeply engaged in translation, research work, and counselling, and his dedication to the pursuit of spiritual truths continued until his death in 1987. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a remarkable life devoted to the exploration and sharing of the profound wisdom of the spiritual traditions that have shaped human consciousness throughout history.
