Dogberry asks about the ‘Sufi Secret’
Dogberry sends me an email on an old post at ‘deeper_d@yahoogroups.com’, a discussion group for the Bennett group. He wishes more information on the ‘sufi secret’. Then posts two comments on the blog: Shah and Gurdjieff, Psychology of the sufi hyaena
Dogberry, I will comment further on this. UPDATE: next post discusses this: http://darwiniana.com/2007/07/24/dogberry-red-alert/
Thanks, in a way, for forcing the issue.
Let me note right off that the term ‘kundalini’ isn’t really appropriate here. It will cause you to go off on a wild goose chase in the wrong direction. The point was to think of a word for something that doesn’t enter ordinary experience.
There is another post on this at this blog, use the search box.
Dear John
I have just read your warnings about sufism on deeper_d, the systematics list at yahoo groups.
“The big sufi secret is impressive in one way, and worthless in another. It is a kind of refined kundalini, controlled, sometimes taken as ‘ belly seed’ baby process, ‘growing a soul’. It passes via fronts, and you never see the real operators involved. Only the front, a good example being a figure like Reshad Field. It happens real quick among those who get it, so if you have spent more than five years around a sufi derivative and don’t know what I am talking about you didn’t get it, and are involved in fake junk. … The whole thing is an occult nightmare, and the catch is that you never get to control the ‘baraka’. It is all a baited trap. … How do I know all this? I am actually strangely fortunate in being one of the few people who found out about the sufi secret without getting caught in it. You can be sure those people hate me for telling on them.”
