Monadology

A Divine Monad may take so many forms I need to ask:
Who is the man on the Holy Cross that I have followed since I was a youth?
What is His true northern name?
When did He start to call his people out of hiding?
Where were they scattered?Why did He choose me to minister to this “new” spiritual family?

Islamic Amnesiacs

Certain modern Islamists seem to have forgotten the existential facts of life in their desperate search for an ideal form of justice that simply cannot belong to this Earth. They have forgotten the numinous ecstasies of Sufi poetry; they have forgotten the negative analyses as well as the cynical wit of the philosophers. They appear to have forgotten (in their unacknowledged agnosticism), that since there is only One True God, there is only One Great Religion – already found in innumerable spiritualities throughout human history and across the entire globe. Maybe, as Spiritualists, we need to remind them not to place their faith in this sphere, but put it firmly in the Greater World beyond.
