The world is drowning in distraction; trapped in the endless loop of the Dopa pandemic. Scrolling, consuming, chasing stimulation, no one notices that their attention; their very life, is slipping away.Until a dream calls Rumi inward.A warning. An alarm. A call to finally face her thought demons; to face herself.The Quf trail winds through the Seven Valleys of Love, each valley stripping away a part of her; her beliefs, her identifications, even her perception of reality; until nothing remains but the scattered mind itself, waiting to dissolve. Waiting to be tamed.In this first volume, Rumi journeys through the first three valleys, guided by rascal sages, tricksters, and foolish lovers; Hafiz, Hegel, Laozi, Attar, Krishnamurti, and Carl Jung; each tearing apart what she thinks she knows.This book is a wake-up call, woven with psychology, Sufi, and Zen wisdom.This is not just a story; it is a mirror.Are you ready to face yourself?
