  • The Sufi Seekers
    Name:
    The Sufi Seekers
    Category: Muslim Group
    Status: Owner
    Description: Sufism is a mystical school of though that has its roots in the religion of Islam. The Sufi seeker travels a journey to Divine Love and Wisdom through the personal experience of God. Depending on who you believe, Sufism is either a particularly Islamic science, akin to, say, Hasidic Kabbalah for Judaism, or essentially an open worldview that provides a universal key to unlock the secrets of the Divine, irrespective of the particular religion or cultural background. Some say Sufism is all about the dissolution of selfhood into God, others are not so sure. Whatever your interest in Islamic and Abrahamic mysticism, this new forum hopes to grow a discussion like grapes upon a good vine. And then onwards, to produce a Wine of Truth!

  • Mysticism in World Religions
    Name:
    Mysticism in World Religions
    Status: Member
    Description: Every religion is made up of two wings, the orthodoxy and mysticism. The word orthodox from the Greek means “having the right opinion” from orthos = right, true or staight, and doxa =opinion, praise, related to dokein which means thinking. Accordingly the word orthodoxy typically means adhering to the accepted or traditional and established faith, especially in religion. The word mysticism (from the Greek mystikos, an initiate of a mystry religion). This initiate is in the pursuit of communion with, identity with or conscious awareness of an ultimate Reality, Divinity, Spiritual Truth or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight. Mysticism usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture that experience or awareness. Mystic traditions generally form sub-currents within larger religious traditions - such as Kabbalah within Judaism , Sufism, within Islam, Vedanta within Hinduism, Christian mysticism within Christianity, Zen (Ch’an) within mainstream Buddhism and Taoism. The term '"mysticism'" is used to refer to beliefs and practices which go beyond the liturgical and devotional forms of worship of mainstream faith, often by seeking out inner or esoteric meanings of conventional religious doctrine. For example, Kabbalah (based in Judaism) seeks out deeper interpretations of the Torah, Sufism (in Islam) extends and amplifies the teachings of the Quran in the spirit of universal love, Vedanta reaches for the inner teachings of Hindu philosophy encapsulated in the Vedas. Mystics hold that there is a deeper or more fundamental state of existence beneath the observable, day-to day world of phenomena, and that in fact the ordinary world is superficial or epiphenomenal. This group, is for the mystics from every religion in order to reach this One and Universal fundamental state of existence in All the religions of the World.
