When the teachings of Jesus and the Mevlevi Sufi path are read side by side, a hidden map of consciousness appears—one that reveals the Kingdom within as a living state of awareness.
Thank you for this lovely essay comparing Sufism with Christianity. It’s very interesting to see that Sufism has kept alive the contemplative practice that Jesus taught.🙏 The Sufi concept of “hudur” reminds me of something you once quoted from Cynthia Bourgeault: Don’t try to think about God, just be in the presence of God.✨

Thank you, Kaja, for reminding of that last sentence. 💓
I have been thinking a lot about breath - not breathing work (got too distracted trying to do it right or count). But that God breathed into humans.
So I am trying various 'habits' to try remembering my breath is gift from God.
I find it helpful to have a broader base of teachings/ideas all pointing toward the same outcome. Really appreciate your blending of the traditions.
Thank you for that - what beautiful truth & practice, remembering my breath is gift from God. That God breathed into humans 🌬️
Thank you for the Remembrance
I'm here because of links from a more recent article. Thanks for doing that VMB, it helps me engage with earlier content that I may have missed.
There is so much goodness in this one. So much fruit here to eat.
Beautiful truth. Beautiful beautiful truth. Takes my breath away truth
