I can't view this stuff because of my intermittent connectivity being wireless in the woods. Could someone offer a brief synopsis? From whence I sit and spin, we all dance a dervish dance.
It is an interview from a film about oneness. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is a sufi teacher in the naqshbandi tradition. He answers some of the "big questions" from a mystic's point of view. Sufism does come from Islam, but Vaugan-Lee's naqshbandi Sufism is also strongly influenced by the yogic traditions of India and monotheistic Hinduism.
I've learned a bit about Sufism lately because I've been reading Rumi. It is a really beautiful branch of Islam, too bad it is not more commonly practiced.
