In a world where tolerance sometimes seems on the wane, the objective of this site is to find and invite adherence to the common thread that links religions and beliefs.
The word Sufi may be from ṣūf, meaning “wool” or “fabric material,” in which case the Sufi would be a weaver. Or it may be from Sophia, in the sense of “wisdom,” in which case the Sufi would be a sage. Or the word may simply be a mystical sound (sooo-feee) that wafts through the fiber of our being and then across the threshold of existence and nonexistence.

Thank you for your kind remarks.
People, in general, wish to interconnect, but dogma may stand in the way. Mysticism transcends that.

Thank you, indeed
You’re welcome. 🙂
Deep words.
Appreciate very much your comments
I love this “about” and the concept of linking together all religions. Joseph Campbell did that in describing the mystical aspect all inherently point to, beyond the word, beyond the book, where the heart seems to lie. In there are the seeds for tolerance and love. I am following your site because tolerance is a passion of mine. Very happy to hold your cyber hand. Paulette
Thank you for your wise words.
The mystic experience is common to religions and breeds tolerance. Says Karen Armstrong in her A History of God: ‘Even if we are incapable of the higher states of consciousness achieved by a mystic, we can learn that God does not exist in any simplistic sense, for example, or that the very word “God” is only a symbol of a reality that ineffably transcends it. The mystical agnosticism could help us to acquire a restraint that stops us rushing into these complex matters with dogmatic assurance.’
The first rule of society, I think, is tolerance. We need to be constantly reminded of that. Thank you for being a partner in spreading this word
