Gnostic Press
Publishing the works of Abdullah Dougan
Gnostic Press exclusively publishes the works of Shaikh Abdullah Isa
Neil Dougan, who was born in New Zealand in 1918. Christianity
claimed his attention from an early age; later he realised the
urgency of finding a method of channelling energy into inner
development. This led him first to the Gurdjieff movement and then to
Sufism. He was initiated as a Naqshbandi Sufi in Afghanistan and in
the subsequent nineteen years, until his death in 1987, continued
to expand his teaching, adding to it from his own inner knowledge and
emphasising the Gnostic basis of all true spiritual teachings.
