"The next thing in the attainment of the inner life is to seek a spiritual guide.

Someone whom a man can absolutely trust and have every confidence in.

Someone to whom one can look up to, one who is in sympathy.

A relationship which would culminate in what is called devotion.

If once he has found someone in life that he considers his Guru, his Murshad, his guide, then he should give him all confidence.

On the path of perfection, all things must be done fully." - Hazrat Inayat

Bahauddin Naqshband was visited by a group of seekers.

The seekers found him in his courtyard, surrounded by disciples, in the midst of revelation.

Some of the newcomers said: 'How obnoxious - this is no way to behave!'

The seekers tried to remonstrate with the Sufi Master.

Others said:

'This seems to us excellent - we like this kind of teaching, and wish to take part in it.'

Yet others said:

'We are partly perplexed and wish to know more about this puzzle.'

The remainder said to one another:

'There may be some wisdom in this, but whether we should ask about it or not we do not know.'

Bahauddin Naqshband sent them all away.

All these seekers spread, in conversation and in writing, their opinions of the revelation.

Even those who did not allude to the experience directly were affected by it, and their speech and works reflected their beliefs about it.

Some time later certain members of this party again passed that way.

They called upon the Bahauddin Naqshband.

As the seekers stood at the door and peered within they noticed that within the courtyard Bahauddin Naqshband and his disciples sat, decorously, deep in contemplative reflection.

'This is better,' said some of the seekers, 'for he has evidently learned from our protests.'

'This is excellent,' said others, 'for last time he was undoubtedly only testing us.'

'This is too somber,' said others, 'for we could have found long faces anywhere.'

And, of course, there were other opinions, voiced and unspoken.

The Sufi Master, when the time of reflection was over, sent all these seekers away.

Much later, a small number returned and sought his interpretation of what they had experienced.

They presented themselves at the gateway, and looked into the courtyard.

Bahauddin Naqshband sat there, alone, neither reveling nor in meditation.

His disciples were now nowhere to be seen.

"You may at last hear the whole story he said, for I have been able to dismiss my pupils, since the task is complete. When you first came, that class of mine had been too serious - I was in process of applying the corrective. The second time you came, they had been too gay - I was applying the corrective.

When a man is working, he does not always explain his self to casual visitors, however interested the visitors may think themselves to be. When an action is in progress, what counts is the correct operation of that action. Under these circumstances, external evaluation becomes a secondary concern."

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
