Thank you for sharing some of how you use the term sufi. Sophia and the absolute are words that point to it for me too. While there are numerous sects, merely being affiliated with one does not make one sectarian, does it?
When it comes to your obs…
[“Ornamentalmind do you have another name or are you called Ornamentalmind?”] – SL
For most online purposes I use the above screen name. Often people shorten it to things like orn, OM etc. If this is problematic for you and you wish to use a more c…
“It is better to say that some Sufis are theosophists.” - SL
In what way do you see this as differing from the obverse?
"…I am sure that the best way is not to start a cult, but to introduce a body of literary material that should interest people…
Perhaps some theosophists are Sufis.....
Excelent presentation of the practical aspect.
Susan, I too found your article compelling and well written.
While I claim little insight, I have been visiting both atheist chat rooms and web groups for at least a decade. I find it interesting to learn the thought processes underneath their beli…
From my limited experience at this website, I find Charles to be our local Harlequin…a necessary function.
As to ‘the Secret’, I had to Google it…shows my general ignorance. I guess that in context the movie is the message.
Martin, the main experi…
I appreciate being introduced to Midgley. The few articles I've read so far are of note. Her perspective does differ from that of many today.
One unrelated question Odin, what am I missing? I see not comment by Avada to whom you refer in your last p…
David, thanks for this news! Having studied with Bob Thurman, Alan Wallace, HHDL, Dr Yeshe Dhonden and others for more than 30 years it is of great interest to me. I quickly found that when it came to the Tibetan Language, as beautiful and interesti…
Very interesting Susan...and, while I have acted as an accountant for some time, the study of medicine has been part of this lifetime too. Truth is, I have hung around many 'ill' people in the physical sense I'm guessing you mean. And, thanks to you…
Well, I've only read a bit of Plato and overall am ignorant. Having read a couple of other posts you've presented, I will learn from you and chime in with tads as they arise.
By 'hard to describe', I'm more talking from the gnostic/experiential sor…
I think you have listed most if not all of the big ones (questions)...at least as a category.
Over time, the method of categorization may change (and has)...so, it is difficult to know in this sense.
Of course, when one is asking such questions, i…
Don't believe everything you think.

Leslie Corrice said… - After joining the Theosophical Network on Facebook, I noticed you have an interest in Neo-Platonism. I'm sure you are at least somewhat familiar with Henry More, the 17th century Cambridge Platonist. But, are you familiar with his amazing tutorial student and later colleague, Vizcountess Anne Conway?

Leon Maurer said… - Before I accept anybody as one of my friends, I would like to know who they really are? Or, see or read some of their creative works or correspondences... Also, I am curious as to what does "ornamentalmind" stand for? Normally, I think of ornaments as narcissistic showpieces or curios that have no other usefulness? Is that what your mind is like -- or does it produce or know (or desire to know) anything useful? If so, what is it? ;-)
