Patrick Zeigler
A search that began with questions, and a night that changed the questions
Patrick Zeigler is the founder of Sekhem All-Love. He has taught internationally for more than four decades — and consistently declines the role of guru.
The King's Chamber
Something happened, and he spent the rest of his life listening to it
Patrick has always described the Giza experience as exactly that — an experience. He has never asked anyone to take his account as proof of anything, only as an invitation to look for themselves.
This page deliberately contains no quotations. Patrick's first-person account, photographs and any further biographical detail will be added once supplied by the Sekhem All-Love team.
Timeline
The story, in order
Before 1980
An early spiritual search
Patrick's path began with questions rather than answers: a persistent interest in consciousness, meditation and what lies beneath ordinary experience.
Detail to be confirmedTravels
Journeys and study
His search took him travelling, drawn toward places and teachers where contemplative practice was still lived rather than only discussed.
Detail to be confirmed1980
A night in the Great Pyramid of Giza
In 1980 Patrick spent a night inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. This night is the origin point of everything that later became Sekhem All-Love.
1980
The King's Chamber
Within the King's Chamber he had an experience that could not be accounted for by anything he had studied. He has spoken about it many times since, always as an experience rather than a doctrine.
After Giza
Time in Egypt
Patrick remained in Egypt, staying close to what had opened and looking for context, language and guidance for it.
Detail to be confirmedLater years
Sufi studies
His enquiry led him into Sufi practice, where the vocabulary of the heart, presence and remembrance gave shape to what he had met.
Detail to be confirmedPractice
Zikr and the remembrance of the Divine
Through zikr — the practice of remembrance — the experience deepened from something that had happened to him into something that could be practised and shared.
Detail to be confirmedEmergence
The emergence of All-Love
Over time the work came to be called All-Love: not a technique so much as the quality that kept revealing itself at the centre of the practice.
Detail to be confirmedTeaching
The development and teaching of Sekhem
Patrick began teaching, refining how the work could be transmitted in workshops: meditation, breath, inner sound and heart-centred practice, offered experientially.
Detail to be confirmedFour decades on
More than forty years of teaching and exploration
He continues to teach internationally and to describe himself as still exploring — a practitioner among practitioners rather than a figure to follow.
A teacher, not a destination
Nothing in this work depends on Patrick. What is offered is a practice, and the practice belongs to whoever does it.
