Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2Milton Fireman has run up against Secretary Udall and my own “How California Can HelpAsia” has been given a severe blow by his water plans. I have taken this up with several people, andall of us wish to extend the salt-water conversion program. It is an absolute must.I can’t carry all the details of these projects and even if I “sell” them, I could not, but I knowwho could and have kept in touch with the proper people.Early in August Mrs., Duce relented and sent me back a tremendous load of my own researchesin Sufism including a lot of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s teachings which were given to Rabia Martin butnever used by her or anybody else. Then in October Mr. Terry Duce himself approached me andasked how my projects were getting along. It is his own colleagues and best friends who may sponsor“How California Can Help Asia” and “Project, the “Garden of Allah.” This will be decided nextmonth, at least preliminarily.Then Vilayat offered to release Gathas to me and I told him this was not necessary. At the sametime I signed the paper acknowledging his spiritual position. For why should I try to go aroundthis part of the world as a Murshid and then suddenly decamp? My main work will be in Asia andalready the works of Hazrat Inayat Khan are becoming known then.Also I am learning details of a Khalif Pir-o-Murshid had and during his last days, while Kismetwas in Purdah he gave instructions to this Khalif, some of whose friends and relatives now look tome. Rabia knew this man but never told anybody anything about him.So at the Moment Mrs. Duce his receded and the way is open for Vilayat if he wishes to comehere. But he has sent me no inquiry. Tuesday night I am going to lecture on some of the materialPir-o-Murshid explained on the relation between the higher practices of Sufism and what I call foreuphemistic sake “Yoga.”I have a pile of exoteric materials:a. Those of Pir-o-Murshid shared with Genevab. Those of Pir-o-Murshid not shared with Genevac. Those of two other Pirs of this centuryd. Those of two living Pirs in Pakistane. The later Upanishadsf. etc.Add to that my new methods which integrate form, movement, art, gymnastics, everythinginto one colossal, all embracing science, beginning with showing children (and others) how to walk.Saladin Reps was here and I gave him many methods of walking.
