A different tradition - a different view?

By -
I would really like to learn a bit more about the Sufi tradition. What is it about? What is its intent and direction? I know very little and only hear intriguing references in talk and books...

I can get the historical facts and high level overview from Wikipedia. But it would be interesting to discuss how it compares or contrasts to Buddhism. What is its definition of God? Is there a path and what is its goal?

    In doing more reading I came across this very interesting and thought provoking site http://www.theuniversel.net/lessons/200306_lesson.cfm. I have not completed the entire reading, but seems highly relevant and valuable.

Time flies...or does it?

I am really bad at pondering time. While I am fairly punctual and grasp that kind of time, I struggle with every movie or book that involves time travel or advanced notion of relative time. The more time I spend with the topic, the less it unravels. And I wonder how this integrates into a spiritual practice... In general, there is psychological or individually felt time. And then there is physical, maybe even universal time. Let's look at them. Psychological time is my felt sense of how quickly something moves from being object of expectation (future) to being an object of awareness (presence) to being an object of memory (past) [see Ricard/Thuan]. This seems very intuitive. Meditation is all about steadying your mind in the presence or the Now, therefore cutting out all the niftly little stories that your ego has authored about the past (all the unjust badness that has happened to you) or the future (all the evil that will most certainly come your way soon). In the presence, there...

Dualism? What dualism?

By -
A fundamental point of departure for any spiritual work seems to me to get clear on what the relationship between me, the individual, the separate sense of self, and a broader spanning realm of that which is beyond me is. Pretty much from the start, I reject the notion of a Creator that is separate from me, but has built me in some sense to some spec and sits there and makes the rules. The whole concept of the "man with the big white beard" that comes to judge you seems deeply inapplicable. In this sense, I reject the dualism between God and us humans as it is portrayed certainly by Christianity and other main religions. Even more so the idea of some institution which represents God and his will and has some sort of enforcement order to fulfill seems so fundamentally flawed. This brings us to an atheist point of view, basically rejecting any form of spirituality, only subscribing to matter and measure as the yard stick for any discussion. This materialism reduces the spark of...

the fabric of reality

By -
After having read several intruiging books about quantum physics and pondering the philosophical and spiritual implications of it all, I feel none the wiser. This seems about right given the topic as most folks don't grasp any of it after studying it for decades. Still, there are some aspects that I could use some reflections on by other folks. The technicalities of quantum mechanics are out of my reach anyways, but doubts are raised on the "fabric of reality" as we perceive it. I am not so keen on debating the Copenhagen interpretation , but to look at the spiritual meaning of it all. This invites the big topic Consciousness into the room. Let's start to ponder... The double slit experiment : Ok, everyone knows this one. Wave-particle duality. The observer collapses the wave function. So I, the observer, determine the actual reality as it is chosen out of the probability wave. If I don't look, no outcome for the quantum has been determined. Cool, I am pretty impo...
