Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2 July 27Factual honesty, to which they all must adhere for their work or research, has a marked effecton character which neither metaphysical nor theological people can understand. It also produces akind of sincerity without moral training.In the meantime I have to do a lot of work with Murshid’s “Moral Culture” which has beenvery effective abroad. I realize that none of his disciples get the drift of it, excepting the one or twowhom he mentioned and which all people stubbornly refuse to accept, and thereby proving thatthey never get the drift of this Moral Culture. Now with the obvious tragic karma before me, and theseeming inability to get any of the deeper papers, I shall be called on not only to delineate this Yogaas above, but to formulate a more complete and integrating Sufi system than has ever been attemptedor done. No doubt this will be in and with the University of Islamabad.With Pir-o-Murshid’s training on Concentration ignored and the formula of Baba on meditationremaining (I have no doubt he cribbed it from Ghani) it is now possible to put this into effect onat least two levels without paying any attention to anybody. Furthermore having now the esotericismof two or three modern schools (at least), these can be integrated with both Pir-o-Murshid’s andthe “ancient Sufi” methods, to no end.I do not know how Saladin will react to this and I have four days in which to receive a “climactic”letter from Major Sadiq as a proof or disproof of certain meta-psychic faculties. Therefore this isa test and record.Della returned from the Buddhist conference corroborating what I have long written and whichhas been published; “A lot of things are published or taught as Buddhism which never had any existenceany time excepting in the minds of their creators.” Having studied (?) Buddhism with all kindsof people, mostly worse than phonies, she did not have any idea of what the real Buddhist leaderswere discussing at the Asilomar Conference. So we have the radio-TV-press “Buddhism’s, death inVietnam and real discussions by real Buddhists, the contents of which never get into our channels ofcommunication or instruction. My own next talk will be about August 12, and the talk can be “silence”also. If Della, who is intelligent, got so little out of the real Buddhists, how can one deal withan audience less intelligent?Too Lun is evidently on Sutter & Webster although I have missed him at both places. ChristineSigeliev will be here next week.Have been invited to go to back MacDonald’s retreat for work as and as I wish to see kin cultivateolive trees have tentatively accepted. Bishop Yamada has refused to help him financially butwe shall see. Don’t know how I can benefit from two separate retreats, but we shall see--have not yetmeditated.
