PIR ZIA - NEWSLETTER - Fwd: The Zephyr Newsletter, September 2023

von Margarethe

Liebe Inayati-Familie, Hier kommt Pir Zias Zephyr für diesen Monat sowie weitere Ankündigungen zu kommenden Veranstaltungen … zusammen mit der Übersetzung hier in der Mail. Links wie immer im Originaltext nutzen bitte. Hochsommerliche Grüße aus dem Norden, Margarethe Margarethe Hubauer Im Winkel 3 :: 23820 Pronstorf T +49-(0)4556-414 M +49-(0)170-440 93 54 hu.farmer(a)margarethe.de Liebe Weggefährtinnen und Weggefährten, Mögen diese Zeilen Sie wohlauf finden. Es war ein ereignisreicher Monat. Nach dem Alpencamp konnte ich eine ruhige Zeit in Fazal Manzil verbringen und an meinem Manuskript "Tears from the Mother of the Sun" arbeiten. Es ist ein Prosimetrum, eine Mischung aus Prosa und Poesie, und es handelt von einer Reihe von legendären und historischen Figuren und Ereignissen, die wir im kommenden Kurs Inner History erforschen werden. Die ruhigen Tage vergingen wie im Flug, und schon bald war ich in den Niederlanden um ein Wochenende mit Vorträgen und Meditationen über Freundschaft im berühmten Sufi-Tempel in den Küstendünen von Katwijk zu verbringen. Die Kuppel des Tempels überragt das ruhige kleine Tal, das Murshid Murad Hassil, "den Ort der Wunscherfüllung", getauft hat. Am Ende des Retreats versammelten wir uns dort zum stillen Gebet. Das einzige Geräusch war die Stimme der Brise, die durch den Sanddorn, die Dünenrose, die Binsen und die Stechpalme wehte. Es war ein Vergnügen, auch Zeit im historischen Anna Paulownastraat Center in Den Haag zu verbringen, in dem sich heute das spektakuläre Sufi-Museum befindet. Ich empfehle Ihnen, dieses wunderbare Museum zu besuchen, wann immer Sie können. Zu den Schätzen des Museums gehören Murshids apricotfarbenes Gewand und sein mit einem Silbergriff versehener Spazierstock. Ganz überraschend erhielten Shaikh al-Mashaik und Harunnisa Begum eine Einladung zur Enthüllung eines neuen Porträts von Pirzadi Shahida Noor im Vereinigten Königreich und baten uns dringend, sie zu begleiten. Mustafa Al Ramadan, ein junger Niederländer mit Wurzeln in Bagdad, ließ großzügig alles stehen und liegen und fuhr uns den ganzen Weg nach London und zurück. Die königliche Gemahlin von England erwies Noor die Ehre, der muslimische Kaplan der RAF las die Fatiha, und wir genossen Tee und Kuchen mit Noors wundervoller Biografin Shrabani Basu - es war also ein wirklich glücklicher Tag. Was ich an Paul Brasons Porträt so liebe, ist die Art und Weise, wie Noors Gesicht eine feste Entschlossenheit zum Ausdruck bringt, die durch eine ätherische Sanftheit ausgeglichen wird. Der Vollmond, der über ihrer Schulter schwebt und leuchtet, verblasst neben dem leuchtenden Gesicht unserer Heldin. Wir sind jetzt wieder in Suresnes und alles ist gut. Meine tiefe Dankbarkeit gilt meinen Cousinen in den Niederlanden, Safiye und Aulia; Saki Lee, Nafas Wagtmans und der holländischen Inayatiyya; unseren engagierten Gefährten der Sufi Foundation 1923; Paul Ketalaar und dem Sufi Museum; und unseren sehr aufmerksamen Freunden Waseem Mahmood, Mustafa und Shwan. Letzten Endes ist der Sufismus der Weg der Freundschaft. Die erleuchteten Seelen sind Freundinnen und Freunde Gottes (wali Allah) und Freundinnen und Freunde der Freundlosen (gharib nawaz). Das Göttliche Wesen ist der/die Höchste Freund *in (Rafiq-i A'la). Der Murshid ist der Freund, der uns mit dem 'Freund der Freunde' bekannt macht, in der Außenwelt und in uns selbst. Sufi-Bücher, -Reden und -Praktiken sind großartig und wichtig, aber die Essenz von allem ist, den Geist der Freundschaft in jedem Moment zu leben, ob in der Gegenwart einer Königin oder eines Armen - der/die Göttliche Freund*in lebt in beiden gleichermaßen. Wie immer sagt es Murshid am besten: "Wer die Beziehung der Freundschaft zwischen einer Seele und einer anderen erkennt - die Zärtlichkeit, die Zartheit und die Heiligkeit dieser Beziehung - lebt, wird eines Tages auf diese Weise mit Gott kommunizieren."

After the Alps Camp I was able to spend some quiet time at Fazal Manzil working on my manuscript Tears from the Mother of the Sun. It’s a prosimetrum, a work of mixed prose and poetry, and it deals with a number of the legendary and historical figures and events we will be exploring in the upcoming Inner History <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> course. > > The quiet days flew by quickly, and before long I was in the Netherlands for a weekend of lectures and meditations on Friendship at the iconic Sufi Temple <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> in the seaside dunes of Katwijk. The dome of the temple overlooks the serene little valley that Murshid christened Murad Hassil, “the place of wish fulfillment.” At the end of the retreat we gathered there in silent prayer. The only sound was the voice of the breeze whistling through the buckthorn, dune rose, bud rush, and sea holly. > > It was a pleasure to spend time also at the historic Anna Paulownastraat Center <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> in Den Hague, which now hosts the spectacular Sufi Museum <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…>. I encourage you to visit that marvelous museum whenever you can. Amongst its treasures are Murshid’s apricot robe and silver-handled walking stick. > > All of a sudden Shaikh al-Mashaik and Harunnisa Begum received an invitation to attend the unveiling of a new portrait of Pirzadi Shahida Noor in the U.K. <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> and urged us to accompany them. Mustafa Al Ramadan, a young Dutchman with roots in Baghdad, generously dropped everything and drove us all the way to London and back. The Queen Consort of England paid tribute to Noor, the Muslim chaplain of the RAF read the Fatiha, and we had tea and cake with Noor’s wonderful biographer Shrabani Basu, so it was a happy day indeed. > > What I love about Paul Brason’s portrait is the way Noor’s face expresses a stern determination tempered with ethereal gentleness. The full moon hovering over her shoulder, luminous as it is, pales beside our heroine’s gleaming face. > > We are now back in Suresnes and all is well. My deep appreciation goes out to my cousins in the Netherlands, Safiye and Aulia; to Saki Lee, Nafas Wagtmans, and the Dutch Inayatiyya; to our dedicated companions in Sufi Foundation 1923 <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…>; to Paul Ketalaar and the Sufi Museum; and to our very thoughtful friends Waseem Mahmood, Mustafa, and Shwan. > > At the end of the day, Sufism is the path of friendship. The illuminated souls are friends of God (wali Allah) and friends of the friendless (gharib nawaz). The Divine Being is the Highest Friend (Rafiq-i A‘la). The murshid is the friend who introduces us to the Friend of Friends, in the world outside and in ourselves. Sufi books, discourses, and practices are splendid and important, but the essence of it all is living the spirit of friendship in every moment, whether in the presence of a queen or a pauper – the Divine Friend lives equally in both. > > As always, Murshid says it best: The one “who realizes the relation of friendship between one soul and another – the tenderness, delicacy, and sacredness of this relationship – is living, and in this way will one day communicate with God.” > > Yours ever, > Bawa > > <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > The Sufi Path of Immortality > Dying Before Death & Living in God w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan > September 16th - 17th, 2023, London Sufi Center, UK & via Zoom > > Our physical existence is a transitory interval between the preexistence of the soul and the looming hereafter. For a person of foresight, it is never too soon to step into the worlds that lie beyond. These invisible worlds are the hidden dimensions of what is already before us here and now. Each step takes the soul further on the path of awakening and closer to the Eternal Beloved. Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Sufi scholar and teacher of Sufism in the lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan, guides us in spiritual discourse (suhbat), contemplation (muraqaba), meditation (mushahada), and ritual remembrance (zikr). Together we explore the core Sufi teaching of initiatic death and renewal, resituating ourselves within a vast process of the endless disclosure of the One.

PIR ZIA - NEWSLETTER AUGUST - Fwd: The Zephyr Newsletter, August 2023

von Margarethe

Liebe Inayati-Familie, Anbei Pir Zias neuer Zephyr für August und hier im Anschluss an die Mail die Übersetzung (Links und Fotos wie immer unten im Original…). Mit guten Wünschen für glückliche Tage, Margarethe Liebe Weggefährtinnen und Weggefährten, Ein Ort von beeindruckender natürlicher Schönheit hat etwas Numinoses an sich. Der Besucher wird aus der alltäglichen Welt in die Welt der Visionen versetzt. Das Zenith Sufi-Sommercamp im Tessin, Schweiz, ist ein solcher Ort. Umgeben vom Schreien der Esel und dem Kreischen der Milane erheben sich weiße Zelte aus Nebelschwaden in einen saphirblauen Himmel. Die Wildblumen, die den Berghang schmücken, sind so zahlreich wie die Sterne, mit denen sie sich unterhalten. Im Camp sind Himmel und Erde ganz nah beieinander. Pirani Sartaj und ich sind gerade vom Berg herunter gekommen. Das Camp ist nun viele Meilen entfernt, aber die Erinnerungen, die wir mit uns tragen, werden nicht so schnell verblassen. Wir werden die vielen fröhlichen Worte nicht vergessen, die bei dampfenden Teeschalen ausgetauscht wurden, oder das lange Schweigen, als Worte in den drei Akashas verschwanden. Wir werden uns lange an die ergreifende und mitreißende Musik von Sinan, Mehmet, Ali, Ophiel, Tammo, Fereshta und Tarana erinnern, an Jeremys glühende theatralische Interpretation von Parzival und an die erhebenden Zikr von Cheikh Sufi und Shaykh Hamdi. Die erste Woche war ein Kolloquium über die Herausforderungen und den Lohn, den die tägliche spirituelle Praxis mit sich bringt. In der zweiten Woche vertieften wir uns in Ziraat, das Ergrünen der Erde und von uns selbst. Wir erwiesen den Elementarwesen des Berges unsere Ehrerbietung, gaben uns der Arbeit der Kultivierung hin und nahmen Verbindung mit der Kalima-Sakina (Logos-Sophia) durch sieben irdische Bereiche auf. Es kann keinen Zweifel an der Kraft der Samen geben, die uns anvertraut wurden. Eines Tages stiegen Cheikh Sufi, Pirani und ich eine steile Almwiese hinauf. Über uns am Hang weideten Dutzende von Kühen. Plötzlich erschien ein Kuhhirte und blies in seine Pfeife, woraufhin ein Hund bellend in die Herde rannte. Mit einem Mal stürmten die Kühe den Hügel hinunter und kamen direkt auf uns zu. Es blieb uns nichts anderes übrig, als zusammenzustehen und dem herannahenden Moloch ins Auge zu sehen; wir waren den anrückenden Ungetümen nun völlig ausgeliefert. Aber aufgepasst! Als sie uns erreichten, verlangsamten sie abrupt ihre Schritte. Sie umringten uns, atmeten schwer und beschnüffelten unsere Körper mit tiefem Schnaufen. Schließlich leckten sie uns ab und machten damit deutlich, dass ein Freundschaftsband geknüpft worden war. Danach galoppierten sie davon. Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, ich hoffe, dass auch Sie einen zauberhaften Sommer erleben - oder Winter, wenn Sie auf der Südhalbkugel leben. Wenn Sie zu kämpfen haben, bete ich, dass inmitten des Ringens Frieden herrscht und dass Ihre Engel über Sie wachen. Ich hoffe, Sie bald wiederzusehen. Es war mir eine Freude, vor dem Camp Freunde im Omega-Institut zu treffen, und ich freue mich darauf, einige von Ihnen in den kommenden Wochen in Katwijk und London zu sehen. Mögen Sie das Wasser des Lebens kosten sund auf Kleewiesen wandeln Mögen alle Feen Sie anlächeln Und möge Ihr Kelch überfließen Immer der Ihrige, Pir Zia Margarethe Hubauer Im Winkel 3 :: 23820 Pronstorf T +49-(0)4556-414 M +49-(0)170-440 93 54 hu.farmer(a)margarethe.de > Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: > > Von: Pir Zia Inayat Khan <astana(a)inayatiyya.org> > Betreff: The Zephyr Newsletter, August 2023 > Datum: 16.

The visitor is transported from the mundane world to the Earth of Visions. The Zenith Sufi Summer Camp in Ticino, Switzerland, is such a place. Amidst the brays of donkeys and the screeches of kites, white tents rise through swirling mists into a sapphire sky. The wildflowers that spangle the mountainside are as numerous as the stars with which they converse. At the Camp, Heaven and Earth are in close touch. > > Pirani Sartaj and I have just come down the mountain. The Camp is now many miles away, but the memories we carry with us will not soon fade. We will not forget the many cheerful words exchanged over steaming bowls of tea or the long silences when words disappeared into the three akashas. We will long remember the haunting and rousing music of Sinan, Mehmet, Ali, Ophiel, Tammo, Fereshta, and Tarana, Jeremy’s glowing theatrical interpretation of Parzival, and the soaring zikrs of Cheikh Sufi and Shaykh Hamdi. > > The first week was a colloquy on the challenges and rewards that come with the observance of a daily spiritual practice. In the second week we immersed ourselves in Ziraat, the greening of the Earth and ourselves. We paid our respects to the elementals of the mountain, gave ourselves to the work of cultivation, and undertook conjunction with the Kalima-Sakina (Logos-Sophia) through seven terrestrial domains. There can be no doubt as to the potency of the seeds that have been entrusted to us. > > One day Cheikh Sufi, Pirani, and I were ascending a steep pasture. Above us on the slope were dozens of grazing cows. Suddenly a cowherd appeared and blew his whistle, sending a dog running and barking into the herd. All at once the cows began stampeding down the hill, hurtling straight toward us. There was nothing to do but stand together and face the impending juggernaut; we were now entirely at the mercy of the charging behemoths. But just look! As they reached us they abruptly slowed their steps. They surrounded us, breathing hard and sniffing our bodies with deep pants. At last they licked us, making it clear that a bond of friendship had been established. This done, they galloped away. > > Dear friends, I hope that you, too, are having a magical summer – or winter, if you are in the southern hemisphere. If you are struggling, my prayer is that there is peace in the midst of the struggle, and that your angels are watching over you. I hope to see you again before long. It was a pleasure, before Camp, to see friends at Omega Institute, and in the coming weeks I look forward to seeing some of you in Katwijk <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> and London <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…>. > > May you sip the Water of Life > And walk in meadows of clover > May all the fairies smile at you > And may your chalice run over > > Yours ever, > Pir Zia > > See the Inayatiyya Fall Program Calendar Here > <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > The Lexicon of the Sufis > Second Mondays—Sep 11, Oct 9, Nov 13 & Dec 11, 2023 > > All friends, new and returning, are invited to join us as we explore the terminology of the Sufis as set out in A Glossary of Sufi Technical Terms <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> by Abd Al Razzaq Qashani, a key textbook in Sufi circles for the last six and a half centuries.

For a person of foresight, it is never too soon to step into the worlds that lie beyond. These invisible worlds are the hidden dimensions of what is already before us here and now. Each step takes the soul further on the path of awakening and closer to the Eternal Beloved. Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Sufi scholar and teacher of Sufism in the lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan, guides us in spiritual discourse (suhbat), contemplation (muraqaba), meditation (mushahada), and ritual remembrance (zikr). Together we explore the core Sufi teaching of initiatic death and renewal, resituating ourselves within a vast process of the endless disclosure of the One.

During each class, Pir Zia reviews the terms in alphabetical order, according to the original Arabic. Then he may also add terms unique to the lexicon of the Inayatiyya. Lexicon of the Sufis classes meet monthly, on the 2nd Mondays September to December and February to May, until we completely go through the glossary!

Outside, air sirens shriek at intervals and the mood is bleak. Inside, however, an atmosphere of melody and luminosity is palpable. The inner world has a message for the outer world, but it is a message no ideology can express. Evocation is its allusive language.” More details and registration. <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > Sufi Healing Retreat North America > The Spirit of Healing > October 19th – 22nd, 2023 > Healing practices support people in times of great change.

In his teachings in The Inner Life, Hazrat Inayat Khan describes the process that leads from spiritual exile to homecoming. The inner life is attained when the body, mind, and soul become consciously conjoined. To realize this entelechy, or perfection of nature, the mystic must make common cause with the animal, vegetal, mineral, jinnic, angelic, and universal dimensions of the Earth, step by step. > > Our autumn gathering marks the beginning of our contemplative investigation of the spiritual history of the world. In this initial convening we will survey the vast tract of time from Earth’s inception to the Copper Age (5th-4th millennium B.C.E.).

PIR ZIA - Fwd: The Zephyr Newsletter, July 2023

von Margarethe

Liebe Inayati-Familie, Hier - diesmal früh im Monat - Pir Zias Zephyr für Juli und die Übersetzung hier in der Mail. Links bitte in der Originalmail anklicken…. (Link zum deutschen Trailer des Films, von dem Pir Zia spricht: https://youtu.be/8hsd0jfeAGw Weitere Info: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_H%C3%B6hle_der_vergessenen_Tr%C3%A4ume) Im Newsletter findet ihr außerdem Hinweise und Links — zur Sommerschule in Suresnes, die gestern begann, — zum Zenith Camp im Juli und August, — zum Retreat in Katwijk im August und — zum Seminar in London im September. Herzliche Grüße und gute Wünsche, Margarethe ----- Liebe Weggefährtinnen und Weggefährten, Sommergrüße! In der Vergangenheit hatte ich das Vergnügen, Bücher zu empfehlen, die meine Phantasie angeregt haben. Dieses Mal möchte ich einen Film empfehlen. Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) von Werner Herzog ist eine fesselnde Erkundung der paläolithischen Kunst, die die Wände der Chauvet-Höhle im Südosten Frankreichs schmückt. Die Malereien in der Chauvet-Höhle, die bis zu 32.000 Jahre alt sind, sind erhabene Meisterwerke, die Tiergeister mit unglaublicher Kraft und Subtilität beschwören. Die Höhle war offensichtlich ein Ort numinoser Initiation, ein Portal zur Welt der Bilder. Aus konservatorischen Gründen ist die Höhle für Besucher geschlossen, und Herzogs Film ist daher ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für jeden, der einen Blick auf die schamanischen Geheimnisse von Chauvet werfen möchte. Die Menschen in der Höhle waren Jäger. In unserer Welt kommt das Fleisch ausgeblutet, entbeint, gehäutet und in Zellophan verpackt in die Regale der Lebensmittelgeschäfte. Kühe, Schweine und Hühner werden heute in Massentierhaltung gezüchtet, das heißt, sie verbringen ihr Leben auf engstem Raum. In den Augen der Industrie sind diese Tiere keine Lebewesen, sondern ein Produkt: Proteinpakete. Die Höhlenmaler sahen das anders. Ein Bär oder ein Auerochse war in erster Linie ein lebendiger Geist. Er konnte dich töten und deine Seele in die Unterwelt schicken. Oder aber du konntest ihn durch Geschicklichkeit und Mut besiegen. Du konntest dann ein Dankeslied anstimmen, deine Sippe ernähren und Kleidung aus dem Fell des Tieres herstellen. Du würdest vielleicht sogar eine Flöte aus einem seiner Knochen herstellen. In Träumen und Visionen wurdest du zu diesem Tier. Die Menschen in der Höhle standen in Kontakt mit den Herrschern der Arten (arbab al-anwa'), den Überseelen der einzelnen Tierarten. Diese Vertrautheit war das Erbe des ursprünglichen Adam Kadmon - Adam und Eva, die noch nicht geteilt waren -, dem der Name eines jeden Tieres im Garten gelehrt wurde. In unserer Zeit sind die meisten Menschen, mit Ausnahme einiger indigener Stämme und einiger anderer Adepten der Natur, den Herrschern der Arten völlig entfremdet. Ist es da eine Überraschung, dass eine Massenauslöschung im Gange ist? Es gibt keinen Weg zurück in die Altsteinzeit. Allerdings muss man anerkennen, dass die spirituelle Führung, die die Menschen im Laufe der Geschichte erreicht, sich eher in Form einer gewundenen Spirale als in Form einer geraden Linie entfaltet. Archaische Menschen haben uns viel zu lehren. Sie können uns in der Tat helfen, das Adam-Eva unseres eigenen Wesens zu finden und dadurch den Verbindungsweg zwischen uns und den Herrschern der Gattung zu erneuern. Es ist an der Zeit, wieder von flinken Hirschen, brüllenden Bären und majestätischen Löwen zu träumen. Immer der Ihrige, Bawa BESONDERE ANMERKUNG ZUR KLARSTELLUNG BEZÜGLICH DER ABODE In Pir Zias Würdigung von Pir Vilayat am Samstag, den 17. Juni, wurde erwähnt, dass die Abode of the Message vor kurzem von der Inayatiyya auf die Friends of South Family, Inc. übergegangen ist. Zur Klarstellung: Das Büro des Generalstaatsanwalts des Staates New York hat kürzlich die Übertragung der Mitgliedschaft in der Abode von der Inayatiyya auf die Friends of South Family, Inc. genehmigt. Die Übertragung der Mitgliedschaft bedeutete nicht die Übertragung des Eigentums an der Abode oder des Grundbesitzes der Abode. Wir danken noch einmal allen, die sich um die Abode kümmern - möge die Abode wieder eröffnet werden und in die Zukunft hinein erblühen!

This time I would like to recommend a movie. Cave of Forgotten Dreams <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> (2010) by Werner Herzog is an enthralling exploration of the Paleolithic art that adorns the walls of the Chauvet Cave in southeastern France. > > Dating back as far as 32,000 years, the paintings in the Chauvet Cave are sublime masterpieces that evoke animal spirits with incredible vigor and subtlety. The cave was clearly a site of numinous initiation, a portal to the World of Images. For reasons of preservation the cave is closed to visitors, and Herzog’s film is therefore an indispensable resource for anyone who wishes to glimpse the shamanic mysteries of Chauvet. > > The people of the cave were hunters. In our world, meat reaches grocery store shelves deblooded, deboned, skinned, and wrapped in cellophane. Cows, pigs, and chickens today are factory farmed, meaning they spend their lives in densely packed confinement. In the eyes of the industry, these animals are not beings but a product: protein packages. > > The cave painters saw matters differently. A bear or an aurochs was first and foremost a vital spirit. It might kill you and send your soul to the netherworld. Or perhaps, by a feat of skill and courage, you might prevail. You would then lift up a song of thanksgiving, feed your clan, and make clothing from the animal’s hide. You might even craft a flute from one of its bones. In dreams and visions you would become the animal. > > The people of the cave were in touch with the Sovereigns of the Species (arbab al-anwa’), the oversouls of each kind of animal. This familiarity was the legacy of the primordial Adam Kadmon — Adam and Eve as yet undivided — who was taught the name of every animal in the Garden. In our time, with the exception of certain indigenous tribes and a few other adepts of Nature, most people are thoroughly estranged from the Sovereigns of the Species. Is it any surprise then that a mass extinction is underway <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…>? > > There is no going back to the Paleolithic. Having said that, it bears recognizing that the spiritual guidance that reaches human beings through the course of history <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> unfolds more in the manner of a winding spiral than a straight line. Archaic people have much to teach us. They may, indeed, help us to find the Adam-Eve of our own being and, in so doing, renew the channel between ourselves and the Sovereigns of the Species. > > It is time to dream again of fleet deer, bellowing bears, and majestic lions. > > Yours ever, > Bawa > > SPECIAL NOTE OF CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE ABODE > > In Pir Zia’s tribute to Pir Vilayat shared on Saturday, June 17th, it mentioned that the Abode of the Message recently changed “ownership” from the Inayatiyya to Friends of South Family, Inc. As a clarification, the New York State Office of the Attorney General recently approved a transfer of the membership in the Abode from the Inayatiyya to Friends of South Family, Inc. The membership transfer did not entail transfer of ownership in the Abode or the Abode real property. Again, we deeply appreciate everyone's care for the Abode—may the Abode reopen and flourish into the future! > > <https://inayatiyya.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fd8625857899793849a6f…> > Suresnes Sufi Summer School > July 1st - 10th, 2023, via Zoom & in Person > > All are invited to this year’s Sufi Summer School with Shaikh-al-Mashaik Mahmood Khan, Pir Zia Inayat Khan Maulabakhsh, Mir Ravanbakhsh Yüzkhan and many other special guests.

For a person of foresight, it is never too soon to step into the worlds that lie beyond. These invisible worlds are the hidden dimensions of what is already before us here and now. Each step takes the soul further on the path of awakening and closer to the Eternal Beloved. > > Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Sufi scholar and teacher of Sufism in the lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan, guides us in spiritual discourse (suhbat), contemplation (muraqaba), meditation (mushahada), and ritual remembrance (zikr). Together we explore the core Sufi teaching of initiatic death and renewal, resituating ourselves within a vast process of the endless disclosure of the One.

Brief an die Gemeinschaft der Inayatiyya DE

von Javid

Brief von Nori – direkt an euch weitergeleitet aus dem Sekretariat ****************** Liebe deutsche Inayatiyya-Familie, Seit 11 Jahren bin ich nun auf dem Sufi-Weg. Meine erste Veranstaltung war das Osterseminar 2012, wo ich ein tiefes Gefühl des Erinnerns & Heimkommens erfahren habe. In den Jahren danach habe ich zwei mal die volle Camp-Erfahrung gemacht - gerade am Workcamp bin ich gewachsen. Im Camp habe ich, als Katharina Eggers noch einen Tontechniker suchte, auch zum ersten mal Pir Zia's Sound gemacht. Seitdem bringe ich meine technischen Kenntnisse im Osterseminar, im Caduceus Zentrum, in der Arbeit mit dem Astana und im Camp-Team ein. Besonders diese temporäre Herzens-Gemeinschaft inmitten der rauhen Schönheit der Tessiner Alpen ist mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Daher möchte ich mich in dieser Mail fürs Camp einsetzen. In vielen Gesprächen habe ich immer wieder zwei Dinge gehört: "Das Camp ist ja schon schön, aber einfach zu teuer..." und "In unserem Alter wollen / können wir keine Woche mehr im Zelt verbringen". Daher möchte ich euch auf die Möglichkeit aufmerksam machen, digital am Camp teilzuhaben. Letztes Jahr haben wir bereits erfolgreich eine Woche gestreamt - und mir haben ehrlich gesagt noch nie so viele im Zoom-Chat geschrieben, wie sehr sie sich drüber freuen, auf diese Weise mitmachen zu können. Dieses Jahr werden die beiden ersten Wochen Programm mit Pir Zia übertragen, außerdem ein Teil der Woche 4. Für einen Preis von 200 / 300 € nach Selbsteinschätzung gibt es also eine volle Seminarwoche, inklusive Morgenmeditation, Abendprogramm und Gottesdienst, mit dauerhaftem Zugriff auf die Videoaufnahmen. Ich habe mein ganzes Kamerasetup nochmal neu zusammengestellt, und bin jetzt so ortsunabhängig, dass wir auch aus dem Teezelt, von der Mitte des Kreises oder vom Fluss aus Streamen können - es wird viele kleine Extra-Programmpunkte geben, die euch noch unmittelbarer am Camp teilhaben lassen. Es wäre mir eine Freude, einige von Euch online mit uns zu wissen, und es ist eine großartige Unterstützung für das Camp, wenn ihr euch für eine Teilnahme entschließt. Hier die Daten und Links: Woche 1, 23. – 29. Juli, 2023: Spirituelle Praktiken – mit Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Cheikh Sufi & Deepa Gulrukh Patel https://zenithinstitute.com/events/spirituelle-praktiken-online/?lang=de Woche 2: 30. Juli – 5. August: Gemeinschafts-Retreat mit Pir Zia Inayat Khan, unterstützt von Zumurrud Butta https://zenithinstitute.com/events/ziraat-online/?lang=de Woche 4, 13. – 19. August, 2023: Musik-Woche mit Zuleikha, Srinivas Reddy & Sinan Arat - Hier übertragen wir Morgenmeditation, die gemeinsame Nachmittags-Session und das Abendprogramm. Eine Registrierung für das Online-Angebot kommt in den nächsten Tagen. Die Programmbeschreibung findet ihr hier: https://zenithinstitute.com/events/musik-werden-die-wahre-seele-der-musik-d… Ich schreibe euch aktuell aus dem Workcamp, welches diese Woche begonnen hat. Falls ihr sehen wollt, wie das Workcamp so ausschaut: Ich dokumentiere jeden Tag auf Instagram und Facebook, da gibt es also bald reichlich Bilder (https://www.instagram.com/zenith_summer_camp/ & https://www.facebook.com/ZenithSummerCamp) Herzliche Grüße, und Danke fürs Durchlesen :) Nori
