A Sufi Dances with Fear

A Sufi Dances with Fear To a Sufi, fear is merely a paucity of love. Where there is fear, let me sew love. Where love is practiced, fear must subside. Do not be fooled. Fear often manifests as anger, or judgment, or addiction. Issues can only be solved at their root. All else is merely treating... Sign in to see full entry.

Spirit and Nature, Dancing Together

Spirit and Nature, Dancing Together I dreamed that all was well. I awoke, and still, I had breath. Oh give thanks, for a brand new day! The Beauty of Holiness just kissed my cheek.

Cheating Con't. 2 - Commentary

My Notes: Cutting corners is not a path of perfection. The Bible adjures us to be perfect even as God/dess is Perfect. So how do we reconcile the fact that all of us cut corners? From a Sufi perspective (my own), our hunger for perfection in the midst of our blaring imperfection is the human... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's Talk of Envy

Let's Talk of Envy Envy-. Wanting what others are or have. We have all been there; all done that. Covetessness is the expression of envy. For many of us, it looks like the grass is greener over there. The Sufis know this: this moment is perfect and you have perfect abundance for your now. You are... Sign in to see full entry.

The Question Is Shame

The Question Is Shame Never disregard shame, my son, for it is a trusty guide on the straight path. When the croak of fear or the siren song of lust lures you off course, it is shame, ever vigilant, that will call you back. To command your attention shame will stab your heart and make the blood sing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Question Is Lust

The Question Is Lust Lust is not confined to our experience of our sexuality. Lust raises its ugly head every time we put our desires above the Will of The One. One can lust for money, power, sex, drugs, etc. The central question is attachment. Ask for what you want and turn up your love anyway. If... Sign in to see full entry.

The Question Is Truth

The Question Is Truth The first question a person with spiritual discernment asks is: Is there such a thing as absolute truth? For a Sufi, the answer is a resounding yes. There is only one truth springing from the One God/dess. It is the whole truth, the beautiful truth, the loving truth, the... Sign in to see full entry.
