As you well know, at one time I used to be a follower of Sufism…Not Quran and Sunnah…
During that time I was taken over by a desire to write out my thoughts and thought I’d share them with you today…
Some I don’t agree with now, some have changed and some have remained with me to this day…
Not to say that I am myself an adherent of my own musings, but rather a scripter of them…For if someone truly followed his good instincts, that person would no doubt be amongst the angels…
So like Nietzsche, who had the perfect model of a man which he called the Superman, I too have
(or had) some points of what would involve taking the path towards perfection, much like many people in this world…
But also like Nietzsche who beforehand, gave up ever trying to be the Superhuman, so I, too, am weak and rarely able to follow the things set forth by myself…
If you ever read the description of Nietzsche’s Superman, you’d realize he was talking about the Holy Prophet :saw:…At least to me…The way he walked, the way he spoke, the way he conducted himself…To me at least…But Nietzsche in his attempt to unravel perfection became very imperfect himself…He went into a melancholy and never came out of it till his death…All his work was published by his sister…A genius no doubt, but no superhuman as was evidenced by how his mind cracked…
So here are some Sufistic meditations written a long time ago in my quest for perfection…
Thankfully I turned back before I could damage my mind irreparably…
It’s also because I found an old diary of mine…
