Fell behind of Posting : Sufism and Creation

If you're one of the ones of people who look at this blog you'll not that I fell off the wagon with regular postings for July 12 and July 19.
Quickly, on July 12th, Rebecca Nunley gave another of her excellent presentations, this one on an overview of Sufism. Among other things, Rebecca gave us 10 Sufi thoughts:

There is One God, the Eternal, the Only Being, none else exists.
There is One Master, the Guiding Spirit of all Souls, who constantly leads all followers towards the Light.
There is One Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of Nature, the only scripture which can enlighten the reader.
There is One Brotherhood/Sisterhood, the human family, which unites the children of earth indiscriminately in the Parenthood of God.
There is One Religion, the unswerving progress in the right direction towards the ideal, which fulfills the life's purpose of every soul.
There is One Law, the law of reciprocity, which can be observed by a selfless conscience, together with a sense of awakened justice.
There is One Path, the annihilation of the false ego in the real, which raises the mortal to immortality, in which resides all perfection.
There is One Truth, the true knowledge of our being, within and without, which is the essence of all wisdom.
There is One Moral, the love which springs forth from self-denial and blooms in deeds of beneficence.
There is One Object of Praise, the beauty which uplifts the heart of its worshippers through all aspects from the Seen to the Unseen.

Thanks Rebecca.

On July 19 Dwight Cope lead the group with a presentation on Creation Stories from te LTQ2 series. I'm sure it was good.

Thanks Dwight.
