14. I was introduced to Sufi Islam because I believed that I was being attacked by Demons or Aliens but it actually turned out to be that I was being attacked by technology ultra sound directional speakers with microphones attached which people can either talk through and freak other people out with or play weird frightening sounds which can hurt kill or stimulate they can also send you to sleep or hypnotise you and program you too? So why am I the Targeted Individual?
15. There is only One! But I have to comment that the idea of Sufi being of Islamic origin. This is probably false. Sufi is so much older and if one reads carefully it has to be. Mohammed, may peace be with him for ever, knew this. But it is a good picture of Sufi. I love the bit; "It is praying time!" The answer was: "We are already praying my friend!" God, Allah, He/She with infinite  names is in everything! Love! May peace be with every creature in the universe.

17. Im so grateful, it gives my heart wings, what have I done to inherit this share? I see a different shade of life now, than ever before. Now that Goddess has turned my I's to eyes. The divine feminine is restored in my life. I am living authentically. There is so much to be grateful for. This love fills my life like water in a sponge... we are lovings... falling through a waterfall of our karma... yet there is peace. .. I am the river itself... not the small drop. Beloved... Delighted am I that you are the sea that I flow to... defy everything, defy all life's labels, and only love remains, naked I dance with god in the flower of my own life and for an eternal moment neither good nor bad draws me... my banks are open and all I can do is embrace. Come ye poor and come you rich and extract your true fortune, in gods economy everything is endless, a smile is currency and love, true love is its only lottery, ireland will not rest until every heart is in its kiss... the kiss of life.. aloha.. when you touched my soul... goddess goddash
18. STOP LYING!!!
    
    The common premise is that “Sufism” is an Islamic group practicing a form of mysticism that originated in Persia. “Sufism” has nothing to do with Islam or Persia, and everything to do with the quiet people of Ancient and Baladi Egypt.
    
    Two points of interest should be mentioned here:
    
    1. The term and practices of “Sufism” surfaced as a result of Islamic conquests and the subsequent terrorizing of its victims. In order for the Islamic-terrorized masses to maintain their ancient traditions, they had to camouflage old traditions under an Islamic garment.
    
    2. The pure form of “Sufism” originated in Ancient Egypt. Other countries copied it and were quick to take the credit for it. Their application of “Sufism” is impure and incomplete.
    
    The common premise (mentioned above) about the roots and essence of “Sufism” is absolutely wrong, as we will conclude by examining the facts. Here are just a few introductory facts:
    
    1. The notion of an Islamic origin of “Sufism” is wrong. “Islamic mysticism” is an oxymoron—as per the following selected points:
    
    * The mystical seekers who are called “Sufis” have always suffered from Islamic rule throughout the ages. Many have been killed. They have been accused of attempting to make innovations on the dogmas of Islam; of following practices forbidden by the Koran; of denying the very existence of a personal Allah. The tolerance, or lack thereof, of Sufism in the Arabized/Islamized world is closely linked to the whim of the ruler and how he interprets/enforces Islamic laws. During certain periods, Sufism was/is tolerated; during others, it was outlawed and condemned.
    
    * The keynote of mysticism (Sufism) is the union between man and God, which in Islam is considered blasphemy; and as such punishable by death by any Moslem, as “empowered” by the Koran itself!
    
    * Islamic teachings are characterized by a consuming fear of God’s wrath, while the Egyptian model of mysticism (Sufism) emphasizes love and not fear. God is perceived in terms of emotional closeness—“the friend,” “the lover”—whose love can be experienced personally and individually.
    
    * Mysticism (Sufism) is based on self-attained revelations by mystical means, which is contrary to Islam. Such revelations, as experienced by the mystical seekers (Sufis), are considered blasphemy and therefore are punishable by death, as established in the Koran.
    
    * The Egyptian mystical seekers (Sufis) include in their ritual practices (as well as public festivals) specific methods to achieve ecstatic proximity to God—through music, dance, or song. This goes contrary to Islam—where music, singing, and dancing are strictly forbidden, as clearly stated in all treatises on Islamic laws.
    
    * Contrary to Islamic doctrine, the Egyptian mysticism (Sufism) bridges the gulf between man and God with folk saints. Veneration of folk saints and pilgrimages to their shrines represent an important aspect of the Egyptian Baladi mystical practices, which is totally against the Islamic doctrine.
    
    The above scene, from a stele dating about 4500 years ago, shows the Egyptian practices of veneration of folk saints, at their dome-roofed shrines, and presentations of offerings.
    
    2. The claim of a Persian origin of “Sufism” is also wrong. The Persians themselves refer to Egypt as the source of “Sufism”. For example:
    
    * The Egyptian Dhu ‘l-Nun (died in 860 CE) is recognized in all Islamized Sufi references as the spiritual source of “Sufism”, who prepared the way for the presently known form of Islamized Sufism. Sufis claim him for their own, as a leader and the originator of important concepts, such as the mystic’s direct knowledge (gnosis) of God and the stations and states of the spiritual Path. Dhu ‘l-Nun was knowledgeable of the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. A number of short treatises are attributed to him, which deal with alchemy, magic, and medicine.
    
    * Tehuti (known to the Greeks as Hermes), the Ancient Egyptian neter (god), is recognized by all early (and later) Sufi writers as the ancient model of alchemy, mysticism, and all related subjects.
