A fundamental distinction divides all of humanity: the "common" people, who are lost in the delusion of worldly knowledge and inherited beliefs, and the "special" people, who have awakened to the fact that they know nothing. This program is for the special. We begin by revealing Rumi's shocking and final verdict on the 99%: "For a crooked foot, a crooked shoe is better / For the beggar, his station is at the door." This episode explains why the world's greatest scientists, philosophers, and religious followers are all considered "beggars" left standing outside the door of true mystical reality.

We then unlock what lies behind that door. Using the analogy of a walnut, we map the soul's journey from the outer shell of Religious Law (Shari'at), through the kernel of the Mystical Path (Tariqat), to the vitamins of Truth (Haqiqat). But this is only the beginning. We unveil the seven great stages—the "Seven Cities of Love"—that one must traverse to achieve true Gnosis (Ma'rifat), a state of all-knowing that makes even the discoveries of Newton and Einstein seem like a child's game. This is the blueprint of human potential, and the reason why the Perfect Human stands apart from all of creation.
