Ancient History and Folklore of the People of the Persia
Tasawwuf is Persian Mystician or Sufiism. Sufism began around 1200 years ago when a Persian sect broke away from orthodox Muslim religion. “Suf” meaning wool. These people would prefer to wear wool and live simple instead of the more costly robes. Wool wearer = Sufis.
Some say Sufi’s are people who invest heavily in God, so that god invests heavily in them.
The 5 worlds of the Sufi are:
Plane of Absolute Invisible
Relatively Invisible
Worlds of Similitudes
Visible World
World of Man
at morningtide a moon appear in the sky and descended from the sky and gazed on me like a falcon which snatches a bird at a time of hunting that Moon stats me up in court over the sky when I looked at myself I saw myself no more because in that Moon my body became by grace even as Soul when I traveled and soul I saw not save the moon till the secret of the Eternal theophany was revealed the ninth spheres of Heaven wrong word in that Moon The Vessel of my being was completely hidden in the sea the sea broken to waves and again wisdom Rose and cast a broader voice so it happened and that’s it befell foam the sea and at every phone flag something took figure and something was body for every phone flag of body which received the signed from that see melted straightway and turn to Spirit in this ocean do you want to play
