I feel like you're beaming from the heart my friend. Love your interviews and what you're doing. You feel very humble yet powerful as a viking!

While the mystical love of the sheik shines through brightly here, of all the places to hitch our carts, I wonder whether Islam remains a skillful beast of burden these days, even in this limited context. The God of Love inspires us to kill off all of the other gods once we discover it, and while this esoteric movement may be the "inside attack" or perhaps skillful transformation of a primitive doctrine of violence, hatred, domination, subjugation and submission from within, indeed driving a powerful alchemical wedge in that darkness, the heavy lifting it accomplishes to normalize Islam writ large probably just leads to greater confusion and suffering for sentient beings. Is Sufism to Islam as Christianity is to Judaism? Maybe so. Indeed, Islam itself, as the new kid on the block pretending instead to issue from Abraham's bastard, was that old asura's open-enrollment response to the Christian (Mahayana) internal novel attack on (transformation of) the house of Jacob &c. But the time is at hand to ungraft or decouple both traditions from their diseased hosts, at least in our understanding and imagination. For a regular Muslim to discover and adopt Sufism would be a big step up for sure, a spiritual evolution leading to upward migration, just like it would be for a Jew to abandon the Torah and that violent and jealous fraudulent voice in the desert for Christ, but even better to transcend and evolve beyond them altogether when ready to do so, for all of us and our collective welfare. Better to make our way from expedient to definitive teachings when able. Better to awaken to the union of great compassion and wisdom for the benefit of all.
