Somehow, "IT" got into my head that Sufism could Change Islam . Probably NOT a coincidence because I figured {and still Figure} that ZEN could Change {Save} America .
Most of my Gentle Readers know that I studied Islam as a HUGE Part of the [Ancient] Middle East course, while I was a Junior at U.Conn . Thing with THAT is, we did NOT 'cover' Sufism to any GREAT degree and only precious little has survived the years of 'Away-ment'* . Several months ago I saw [at a yard sale] a paperback titled, THE WAY OF THE SUFI , inked by one Idries Shah . It's a 1970 publication by E.P. Dutton & Co., INC . and would have been concurrent with my Studies of the Middle East . Obviously, the Universe set this text in my "Path" for Future Reading and Reference and to refuse the Universe's ----------------------> Suggestion would be an egregious SIN --- I know better than to Refuse what is Offered as {VITALLY} Important but it DID take me some Time to 'get' to it .
>>>"IT"<<< was the same for the text I bought {procured} from a Used Book Store on the U.R.I. (University of Rhode Island) Campus years ago . When I finally 'got' to "IT" I found it to be a V-----A-----S-----T Treasure of Ben Franklin's MIND, manifested as his Writings, of within which, "Poor Richard's Almanac is contained . So it is with THE WAY OF THE SUFI .
