I currently am entering what seems to be a new phase for me. It is extremely
difficult for me to describe in conventional terms without it appearing
hopelessly subjective and introverted, but it amounts to the exploration of
what I am calling 'personal truth'. While I am doing this through Hameed
Ali's Diamond Essence work, which is a subtle blend of Sufism and modern
psychology, it is similar to much spiritual development within many other
groups, and I suspect is familiar to at least some Quakers. I wonder if it
is related to David Buchanan's "dramatically intense personal experience"
that he wrote about on 28.01.02?

I too am struck by the way mystical traditons like Sufism can be squared and
blended with modern psychology, but I just don't know enough about your
"personal truth" phase to say if it resembles my experiences or not. Sorry.
Maybe we can get into that if you would say more. Unfortunaltely such things
are notoriously difficult to express in words, but I'd encourage you to give
it a shot anyway because they are as important as they are difficult. I'm
extremely interested in the topic and pretty damn curious about you
personally too.
Warmest regards,
