I've added a note to the comment line. I'm really impressed with the quality of the responses to Ken's most recent Sufi Notes. I just haven't had the time to get into it myself. I'll just point out a connection to the Nazi Mormon thingy. There are people who tyrannically want to limit our access to the freedom from our conditioned responses. They will say that reality is hard and fine edged, but that they control access to it. Has anyone seen the film "Brazil"? It is like "1984" on mushrooms. In the final scene, the hero escapes into the dreamtime. Everything that we need to reward ourselves already exists inside of our own skulls. We don't have to wait for the archons to empower us. All we have to do is figure out how to turn it on.

My understanding of the technical term "qutb" is that it is a title for whoever stands at the head of the "invisible hierarchy" on this planet. Mr. Sabourie said that my mind is full of such fantasies that I keep myself from the truth. He said that my game of "comparative religion" will waste what precious time I left to prepare for death. He said "teacher of time" is not refering to a single "person" at all, but rather to "Existance Itself" in this very moment. We are seperated from "Existance Itself" by the layers and layers of dreams and fantasies and mental images constantly generated by our brains. If we could stop all our mental processes and just be "Present", we would *see* the meaning of everything. "Existance Itself" is God. God is the "Teacher". "Time" is this very moment. The "teacher of time" is the state of "Pure Presence" in which we *see* that everything that presents itself to our awareness is God Himself communicating to us...the song of a bird, a street sign, a snatch of conversation from a passer by, a pattern of leaves, a glance, a touch.....anything.

Well then, this seems to be a good place to jump in and tell a little about myself. I was born and raised in southern Idaho, which is really an extension of the original "homeland" of the Mormon Pioneers who left the persecutions suffered at the hands of the good people of the USA, and founded a religious commonwealth in Geat Basin of the Rocky Mountains in the 1840s. Many years later, as I was trying to dig down to the bedrock the religious tradition I was raised in, it became plain to me that "Mormonism" had started out as some kind of "occulted" Ismaili Gnosis presenting itself as a "Christian" sect just to survive. The mystery was how could it have happened. The founder of "Mormonism", Joseph Smith grew up in an environment in New England that was saturated with German Rosicrucianism and an interest in Rennaisance High Magic. This was the period of intense paranoia about the Illuminati and Freemasonry that started the anti-Masonic Party in the USA. It is certain that the Illuminati did in fact have an influence on Continental Freemasonry and shaped both the French and American Revolutions. It is the greatest of ironies that the founders of the ideals of individualism and liberty are screached at as being the hidden "enemies" of the Constitution by reactionaries both Catholic and Protestant. Scholars speculate that there amy have been a real transmission of Imaili Gnosis to the orginal Bavarian Illuminati at the begining. Joseph Smith had extensive experience in both Ritual High Magic and the inner workings of the "revolutionary" Freemasonry. He applied this viewpoint to Biblical exegesis and doctinal development. Both Ritual Magic and Fremasonry lead straight back to the Sufis of Spain and to the Fatamid Dynasty of Egypt. I started out studying the many works of Seyed Idries Shah of the Naqshbhandi Order. I wrote him a letter in England asking for a real connection to the Path and was answered by the most shattering "dream" experience of my life. My life flew to pieces after that and for ten years I moved all over the USA as an IC design consultant while desperatly seeking out teachers from all Traditions to try to absorb the "reality" of their teaching. I focused on Buddhism, Yoga, Hasidic Kabbalah and Eastern Orthodox Christinaity, all the while centering on the teaching stories of Idris Shah. About four years ago I took a job in Dallas, and made contact with the Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi through the Internet. I attended a session and recognized the same "taste" as the "dream" that had staarted me out so many years before. The MTO Shahmaghsoudi took some getting used to after my years of "spiritual tourism" and the "boheimian" sophistication of the Sunni Naqshbhandiya. The MTO Shahmaghsoudi is distinctivly "churchy" and formal, as well as ardently Shia. So now I'm trying to sort out those elements that are uniqely Shia Irfani from the wider Tasawwuf Tariqa that trancends Shia, Sunni, Muslim, Bahai Chistian and Jew. That's what I hope to learn from you folks. Ken Shaw --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- ONElist members, don't miss out on the latest news at ONElist!

Mr. Sabourie explained that misfortune can be the result of our own evil actions or we can get "run-over" by a flow of events larger than our personal sphere. Either way it is *God* (The-Whole-Of-Existence-Itself) that is carrying out the action against us. Everything that happens to us is *God* trying to get our attention and to teach us something. We are so bound-up in our web of dreams, fantasies and mental imagery that we are like the delirious man who must be slapped to be lucid enough to speak to. *God* uses anything *He* must to try to get us to "Awaken", even death and hell if that's what it takes. To be a true Muslim (submited), we must be submited to whatever comes to us in life, more than that, we must be grateful for and rejoice in whatever comes to us as the loving hand of *God*. Mr. Sabourie explained that every action we do, including words and thoughts, sends an *impact* into *God* that must be responded to. It isn't a purely mechanical "cause-and-effect" relationship because *God* is Love and Mercy as well as Justice. Because of this we are granted "Grace" whenever we truly repent (turn away) from our sins. *God* can "neutralize" the energy that will return evil for evil to us if we have have a real inner intention of turning away from our sins and add some our own energy into the system by giving pngts or doing other good works. Giving service or money to the Work of the Path is especially effective because of the Pir's connection to *God*. Our money is actually some of the substance of our own life, because it is our life energy and time that is expended to make the money. By giving money to the Khaneghah we are giving the substance of our own life-force as a sacrifice to *God*. *God* takes in that energy and uses it to "neutralize" the energy that will backlash against us in response to our evil actions (words, thoughts), and stop the "bad luck" that will fall upon us. This is just physics, it's not some kind of money making scheme or an attempt to "buy off God". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Shaw Subject: We're a quiet group these days aren't we......

Well it's been quiet here and there is a site/ group I have been seriously investigating. I know a couple of you are already partially familiar with it. I'd be intersted in having a public or private discussion about the body of work this group has developed. I don't want to talk to anybody who just reads a page or two of the site and thinks that's enough and then just wants to denounce it. I don't want to talk to anyone whose "heard something" somewhere about it - although actually anecdotes, positive and negative, are acceptable. I do desire an intelligent discussion though. Like I said you can contact me privately if you want to keep it that way. The name of the group is Sons Ahman Isreal and their community is New Qumran. They claim to base the rest of the vast body of work they have undertaken on the supposed Sealed Portion of the Golden Plates. Now normally that claim in and of itself is enough to make me ----. But these people are a SERIOUS Mystery School in not only the Mormon tradition but in the literal fulfillment of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times, the coming together of all the truths from all the great traditions of the Earth, past and present into a unified whole and a real WORKING model. A few years ago I ordered some info from them and it went completely over my head. I have investigated every offshoot of Mormonism and found not only all of them lacking but all of them PITIFUL. This is the first SERIOUS contender I have encountered. I rediscovered them again recently and all of a sudden it all makes sense! Their web site is massive and is on 3 different servers with all kinds of links so let me suggest some key places to start and then for those interested, take the spirit for your guide and feast at the table of the Lord and Lady, for they are both equally represented here. I will send the links next email.

Thanks for the perspective. SAI/IAO does seem man made in many ways, but it is pretty darn good too for what it is (!) If that's all it claimed to be (inspired vs. commanded/authorized) then I think it would be great but they are making some pretty serious claims about Divine authority and all, which I am sceptical of.....so I continue to ponder and investigate....

Hava has gotten around and the two men are separate. I know that IAO practices polyandry and sexual rites in the temple that they claim are Christ centered. In and of itself I might not neccesarily consider it perversion. Some people say that about polygamy too. I think it is the manner in which is is carried out and the spirit and I think 99.9 percent of everybody and anybody is probably incapable of carrying something of that nature out perfectly and without sin, so I stay away from it. I myself just prefer to be monogomous in my sweet old fashoioned and innocent little romance. But I defend their right to try and pull it off if they think they can do it. They have their test and I have mine and we are all different. I am planning on asking Davied about Hava. Actually I do like her and think she has a lot of good things to say. And even as far as Sons Ahman Isreal, I can't find anything wrong or that I disagree with at all. I just wonder if their claims are trumped up.... Beth >From: "Rev.
