A Brand New Day!
Bismi'llah arRahman arRahim. There is no refuge from Allah but in Him.

Today is a brand new day and I am surrounded by gifts,both within and outside of myself,it's just incredible!
I suppose what I have to say should be divided up between EFT Stuff and Sufi Stuff , but I don't know if all those things are so seperate now.
I think something deep and important has occurred with the EFT and it has freed me off for a much more positive and joyful experience with my worship of God Almighty Allah.
I took a quick look at the night sky before I prayed fajr...I can see so much more of it from the balcony now that I have pruned the avocado and the grape vine.Oh wow! ... So hu-u-u-ge! so beautiful! so de-e-e-p! so perfect,so delicate,so vast..
what words can describe the universe? The Milky Way and all the other sprinkled stars and constellations ..unbelievable..and some people are going to try to tell me that it is an accident?! ...
My voice was different when I chanted "la ilaha ila 'llah"..and when I read sura Ya Sin and when I chanted (almost sang) the Hundred Names ..really happily praising that One ..o-o-o-h! ... Yes the night sky is so beautiful ..but imagine the One that created it! ..The One Who created Beauty.. Who is Beauty!

Allah is The Beautiful and He loves Beauty ..Ya Jamil!

Yes,women are the most beautiful things inthe world..didn't Allah create Eve from Adam to make him happy when he found himself alone in Paradise? Surrounded by everything he liked in complete happiness and pleasure ..but..alone..so Allah created Eve for him ..
What are we without our mates? ...Bu-u-t ... thay mustn't distract us from Him Almighty .. the danger is,given the nature of the nafs(ego) that we will make A god (or goddess if you like) out of them and..veil ourselves from the love of Allah Almighty ..and then we are lost!

So-o .. enough for here for now ..If I can I will try to encapsulate some of what has been happening with the EFT thing over on EFT Stuff.
