Back in the day, oh maybe around 1992-ish, your author began a years long flirtation with sufism—an esoteric life way emanating from man’s originary spiritual essence.
According to one of the recent sufi masters (or “pole of our age”) Idries Shah, Jesus was/is the greatest sufi of them all. And while sufism is labeled as the mystical aspect of Islam, that is but a disguise; do not buy that, as it is NOT that, as such—it is much, much more than that.
There are various “sufi sects” as well—yawn… Just suffice it to say that it is the way of the heart involving perfecting oneself through meditation, contemplation and love; experientially seeking out the God within in you, without you, and in others.
Seek and you shall find. Some
mental starting places would be
O.M. Burke’s Among the Dervishes ç another name meaning sufis
The Sufis,
by Idries Shah
And works by John G. Bennett,
whose friendship with George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, illuminated many.
