The Witness Within
Musa Muhaiyaddeen
Sufism is one of the paths that explains and guides us towards our inner spiritual being, to that part of us that is beyond the senses. It brings us to a place where there is the possibility of experiencing an entirely different way of existence. This is an inner journey that opens our hearts to the treasures found within the qualities of God. Sufism explains that to do this we need to change our focus from an elemental existence to a spiritual existence.The Sufi path teaches us that there is a place that is not part of the elemental nature we are born with, there is another place that comes from the Eternal where the qualities that exist there are kindness, love, mercy, compassion, truthfulness, and justice. Sufism is a path of love.May it come to pass that these words resonate to break the shell of illusion that covers our hearts. May these words help take us to the Eternal where truth exists, and where love and kindness exist as reality. May our path towards God be straight, and true, and easy.Musa Muhaiyaddeen

#76 The Middle Path
Bawa has told us that the world is full of hypnotisms and magnetisms, and what does that mean? What are these hypnotisms and magnetisms. Essentially, when you are going on this path, there are things that pull you off, things that take you away from the straight route, from the straight path. And they do it because of your inclinations. Now, your inclination is attracted to something that gives you access to that inclination. So, those points which give you access to the inclinations of your lower self are your hypnotisms and magnetisms.

#75 Becoming Trustworthy
Somewhere in the progress of civilization, man came to the conclusion that he couldn’t trust other men. And to assist with that understanding, they established police forces. And the purpose of these police forces was to monitor the activities of people to make sure that they didn’t do things that they weren’t supposed to do. Soon after police forces were developed, jails were developed because they had to figure out something to do with the people who did what they weren’t supposed to do and became sort of a menace to organized society.
