Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963August 26, 1963Dear Saladin:Received a long, report from Lahore which is answered only in part here—just enough tocover an aerogram sheet. There is no question that in time Hazrat Inayat Khan will be known as theteacher of the age. His followers did not recognize him and established cults all over,I may have back—have not looked—memo of his original teachings. The rest was put in a bookby Rabia and hidden away. Etta, her daughter, would not let me look and it was never found. ButI can tell you that it was in accord with the Four-School Sufism of Hyderabad which in turn recognizesthe six world religions of the Universal Worship but not Taoism and Confucianism.My friend, Major Sadiq, has been hospitalized but it is not clear whether (a) he is ill; (b) had anaccident(s) or is helping out with his healing powers.The confusion reigns in Fulton St. compounded today and the man who was first to help memove had three break-downs in one week. Perhaps Allah knows best, but I have another friendwhom I have booked for Thursday, and then definitely the address will be 143 Second Ave., S.F. 18,phone Skyline 2-9387.Yesterday had an amusing session with Master Too Lun. He began telling about Boddhidharmatrying to explain in English and I called out ““Tamo” and everybody laughed. It was a goodsession because I have seen too much severity in the Chinese and much laughter in the Japanese butyesterday it was real laughter compounded with wisdom. Only the meditation was short and thetalk long; but he did not talk down. He realizes that his few Americans are not tyros. This was theonly time I have left the house except for errands and emergencies.But last night I performed another practice. Ramdas went into caves. Now caves accordingto modern psychology mean regression, the womb, the original conditions etc. So I used the “anticave,”going into the light instead of darkness, and expanding instead of contracting. The result wasI received a sign to become a Guru and gave my first piece of first lesson today. This can be done intwo ways:a. By a drawing b. By an explanationbut the two are not easy in terms of each other. However both follow the motto I was given sometime age: In Thy Flesh, Thou Shalt See God. This is from Jonah in the Bible. It has to do with sex.I was also given a problem of a young man named Merrill Geerts whom I have known a longtime. He brought me his horoscope and I said, “You had a rupture.” From that point on it was easyfor me and mysterious to him. For the astrologers do not know and cannot recognize the three bodiesand I can see without knowing the astrology what they do not see and wonder at. Anyhow Ihope to have him in the class tonight.There I am learning another type of dancing too—what might be called White Magic, antivoodoo,but using the psychic forces upward and outward.One is allowed no rest. If I do not get inspiration I tire and if the inspiration comes, one getsinto ecstasy; in either case only so much is accomplished.Faithfully,
