EARLY CHRISTIAN MYSTICS AND MUSLIMS
Nimat Allah Al Hardini from Hardin (Lebanon)
By Basheer A. Frémaux-Soormally, Reader of "The Ugly Truth"
I HAD 101 titles in mind for the above; but don’t ask yourself
or me why I chose this one! Two of the imagined titles were: “Early
Christian Mysticism” and “From Messiah Christ to Clown Obama”. I have
seen unfolding in front of my very eyes, utterly powerless, the live
enacting of endless myths, lies, deceptions, mass murder and global
plunder where the perverted money changers and their armies of assassins
have created havoc on GOD’s earth, whether acting on behalf of the
Roman Catholic Church, the Roman Empire, the promoters of the so-called
Enlightenment, the European Colonial Empire or its modern military
industrial complex now engaged in a Renewed Crusade against 1.5 billion
Muslims, and their religion Islam, which although being the First
Christian Reformation has been refused all legitimacy by Western
Christendom on the grounds of their claim to the superiority of the
white European 'race' and the inferiority of the Arabs, the white non
Europeans and the non whites alike, and because of their visceral hatred
for the Arabic language and for Islam. They accepted all the other
Christian “denominations” or reformed groups because they are all white
European Sects although they have now sort of accepted the Black
Christian denominations as well. This white European racism has caused
most Muslims to forget that Christianity is part of their religion, and
they always refer to only the 1400 year-old Islam, but I don’t. Islam
started with the very first Creation. I recently even witnessed the
resurrection of the dead: Muslim Sheikh and Mujaahid Usama Bin Ladin, a
well documented twenty first century miracle performed by an “American”
clown-god with a Yiddish soul – Baruch Obama!
I expect most Christians (even some Muslims) of "The Ugly Truth" to feel that I am showing no disrespect for their religion or even insult their faith. The truth is that I have the utmost respect for the Christian and Muslim faiths as long as they do no harm to self or to others and are truthful. I never insult people’s faith. Islam does not allow this. As, for Christianity, I claim to be Christian (a name given by outsiders) and it is the perfect right of other Christians to disagree with me, but not to lie about me and the statements I make here. I have only one religion and way of life and there is no risk ever that I will convert to any other religion and this is the religion of Truth and Justice whatever name people may give to it. I believe only in Truth and Justice for all, and Love for all true, sincere and good people. Mainstream Christians believe in loving the sinners and criminals, but I don’t, because my understanding of love, compassion, sin, crime and punishment is different. People can call my religion by different names: Hinduism, Israelitism, Christianity or Islam. I have no objection at all to be called Hindu, Israelite, Christian or Muslim as long as it does not go against Truth and Justice. This exposé will respect the truth as far as the facts I will refer to are provable to be true. But, I stress that it is not about religion, but only about the survival of mankind as a moral, spiritual and human creation of some invisible force beyond our limited human comprehension.
Mysticism is not about religion or faith or intellectuality, but about spirituality, and this can be of any faith, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. I cannot unfortunately include Jews in my list, although I would like to, as I have seen them to be the farthest from any kind of spirituality because of their inherent perverted and criminal ways, their racism, arrogance, superiority complex and total lack of humility. To be a mystic, we do not have to believe in any particular GOD although mystics try to experience a mystical union or a direct communion with the ultimate reality that many call GOD. It is a personal (subjective) quest that is not necessarily founded on a particular Holy Scripture. Subjective experience on the higher plane of spirituality is good and not in the sense the term subjective is commonly used.
When people tend to concentrate too much on the Scriptures alone, for example, most Christians and Muslims tend to lose contact with reality, with GOD Himself because they have turned GOD into a kind of personal property that nobody else can ever possess or even understand. This is the case mainly with Jews. Their God is a personal God and they are the Chosen ones of that God. All the others, the inferior ones, are the REJECTED ones of God. But, I am no friend of those Chosenites and I wish my Christian and Muslim Brothers and Sisters would always keep in mind that we were and should remain ONE big family, and must remain united against all the forces of evil from outside as represented by the Jews and their likes as well as from inside our own ranks. The enemies are countless, but the worst one is within our own selves, our own communities, and our own governments, which means that egocentrism, fanaticism, and blind patriotism and nationalism are also our enemies. The truth is that we do not even have a consistent religion although we claim to be part of one. The all powerful State makes us change our religion on a daily basis because of mass mind control and manipulation. The Godless State very cleverly takes advantage of our passions and our addiction to worldly things and total indifference to truth and justice with the catastrophic result that we damaged our spirit and lost our soul, which they claim we do not have anyway, calling us rational beings with an animal body and mind and no spirit. Our early Christian fathers knew about this pathology of the human heart and mind they called the eight passions later made up into the Seven Deadly Sins of the Roman Catholic Church. The more the Christians were made to believe that they had sinned, the more (tax) money came into the Corporate Churches' coffers because the latter sold indulgences!
I once read a book on Omar Shariff (Michael Salhoub). He says in it how he felt the overpowering presence of GOD when he was shooting Lawrence of Arabia in the desert. His father taught him both the Bible and the Qur’ân when he was young, and he was convinced that Christians and Muslims worshiped the same GOD contrary to what millions of Christians believe and preach. Their rejection of the Muslims’ belief in GOD is responsible of all the hatred the Church-indoctrinated and Zionist-manipulated Christians have for Muslims and Islam. But, when you visit the desert and the mountain monasteries you see, feel, know that there is GOD, and that He is ONE because you can experience it there more easily than in the artificial towns and houses we are living in where we tend to lose our humanity or humanness more and more and our GOD consciousness and see our character moulded by materialism and consumerism and our culture destroyed and nation enslaved by crony capitalism! Our saintly early fathers have mostly been replaced by modern gurus, televangelist clowns and charlatans, Buddha, Hindu and Earth deity worshipers which are being promoted by the Christian New Agers and the Zionist controlled media including the UN.
My belief is founded on personal first hand knowledge and experience and not on acquired beliefs where everybody fights everybody else’s beliefs without realising that modern (Jewish made) culture has contaminated their respective belief systems. They made Jesus Christ too human, always speaking of his “body” and occulting the spirit which is the very essence of Christianity which our early fathers saw as essentially mystical, or too much of a God. While the Muslim Sufis are looking to join up with GOD, Christians adopted the reverse by dragging GOD down to earth to be incarnated into the human body. They fail to realise that Hindus already believed in this kind of religion and have those avatars by the tons including incarnations into animals. Whether modern Christians like it or not, the truth remains the truth and Western Christianity is not early Christianity and is so remote of Christ and his teachings. Modern Christianity is a Catholic and Reformed religion without its roots, and this is the main cause of its weakness! I am just trying to indicate some reasons why and where it went wrong by relating my personal experience (despite my fallible memory). Christianity is profoundly mystical, but Zionism is certainly not!
At this stage, let me try and go back to that almost abandoned Catholic Church in Paris where I lived (or was it another one?). I see myself praying in an almost empty Church. GOD was right there, but nowhere outside those old walls. I see a well dressed and quite dignified Black lady with a head scarf deep in her act of devotion or prayer. I finish my act of worship (mistakenly called prayer or supplication by most of us) and look around. Then, I walk out of the Church. The lady comes up to me, grabs both my hands, kneels down and asks me to bless her. I bless her and cannot help the tears gushing out of my heart. She says she has some serious health problem and asks me to come to her house to do something for her. I cannot remember exactly. I have a feeling that I wrote about this somewhere, may be right here on "The Ugly Truth". It was my beard maybe. I have never seen any of our early Christian fathers without a beard, but because of the modern Western hatred of the beard, I even read that Jesus did not have a beard and did not ever cover his head! In a desert, 40 days with no head covering? The West did everything they could to fabricate a Jesus to their personal taste and liking: white, tall, blond, blue eyes, Greek features, beardless, hatless, hippy long hair, speaking non Semitic languages and speaking more like a Greek philosopher rather than like a Semitic Prophet or Messenger of GOD and his man-made fictitious and artistic portraits made him lose all the mystery behind that pure Son of GOD. May GOD bless Mel Gibson for bringing back the Aramaic speaking Jesus on to the cinema screen in The Passion of Jesus Christ!
That blessed day in Church, the settings of that spiritual or mystic encounter may not be very clear in my mind as there is always a risk of embellishment in the narrative as time goes by, but the very deep emotional experience was real and I am convinced it was not a simple coincidence for that lady to approach me. This reminds me of the beautifully Hollywood-made Brothers Karamazov in which the Russian Orthodox Christian mystic bowed down in front of Dimitri Karamazov (with his head touching the floor as Jesus Christ and all early Christians did and as all Muslims and some Christians have always done to this very day when worshiping GOD). The Christian mystic then stood up, looked at Dimitri in the eye, clasped Dimitri’s right hand and raised it slowly to his forehead. This was my best part of the film and I do not think that any other actor can ever play that role again better than Yul Brynner because the interaction between him and the mystic was so vivid and so mystical. I felt and lived every gesture, silence and uttered word of the moment. It was not just a Hollywood “prostitute” playing a part for money, but a profoundly spiritual man (Dmitri) just being himself on the screen, and the actor playing the Christian Orthodox mystic was excellent. No wonder the Roman Catholics who constitute the majority of Christendom do not accept Orthodox Christianity! They have long since lost all the mystical aspect of their religion because of their imperialist and colonialist bloodthirsty adventures and Crusades.
The Russian mystic is teaching us all a lesson about Christian spirituality. This is how we bless anything human or even an animal. I did not learn this from books although I may have seen it practiced by humble and many religious Muslims. Watch the sequence in the film and see for yourselves. You must live that strongly spiritual moment where the Divine manifested Himself in two pure human souls. I devised a way to control my inner “self” or what some call the animal instinct in us by teaching my two grand children (girls) to hold up their right hand to me whenever they see me getting angry, on the verge of getting angry or when they are scared of being punished after having done something they feel is wrong or that has been forbidden to them. As soon as I see any one of them stretching their little angelic hand up to me, it would immediately have an extraordinary effect on me. I would freeze. All my bestial instincts would be immediately and completely neutralised. I would mechanically just extend my right hand, take the imploring hand and kiss it, then raise it to each of my eye in turn with my soul turned to GOD. My little angel is thus saved from being punished when I get angry. Sometimes they would do it without me having even noticed that they have done something wrong.
Prostration is humility and a show of deep spiritual love and
devotion to the other or to GOD. In my experience, the kneeling custom
adopted by Western Christians is just half way to full spiritual
communion with GOD, although I have seen Christian priests prostrating
with their head down on the floor (or the entire body flat on the floor)
in the Vatican and in monasteries during their acts of devotion. In
one of the Gospels, we see the host rushing to remove the guest’s
sandals and wash his feet, an Arab and Middle Eastern custom, but
Western imposed modern culture and even laws (against hijaab, head
scarf, niqaab, etc.) are destroying all our religious Traditions.
When a Western Christian walks into a Lebanese, Syrian, Arab, Coptic, Russian or Slav Church, everything is (seems) weird and alien to him or her without realising that those Churches are the closest to early Christianity and to Christ. I walked into many Protestant (Reformed) Churches and Kingdom Halls, but I never saw or felt GOD there or anywhere near and including in the Baptist Church were I live! The Catholic Church, despite all its idols (or maybe because of them), had (some still have) more of GOD’s presence. I could feel it especially when it is empty. The vast and often gloomy and cold vast space inside definitely contribute to its air of mystery. Despite the fact that Islam forbids statues, I believe I am unique among Muslims to have experienced closeness to GOD by merely putting my hands on one of them, whether a Christian or Hindu idol. The rosary and the Holy Qur’ân have in a way replaced the idols in Islam because many (most) humans need that sense of touch while worshiping the Almighty. (I know some will say it is outrageous, but I said this is my personal experience.) What they fail to realise is that the very soul of all Western churches, cathedrals and basilica come from the very caves of Syria, Arabia, Palestine and Lebanon where the first Christian congregations (ecclesia) met and where Muhammad obtained his Revelations (or inspiration). Rome was not interested in the episode when Paul stayed in Arabia. Why?
But, what Rome and the West destroyed of Christian mysticism, Holy Russia preserved it. And, in the last century, whatever the Slavic people inherited from Early Christianity was destroyed for ever by the contact with the materialist West and their Jewish hordes. All that has remained today is the souvenir of the horrible ethnic cleansing wars where, for example, Communist Serbs, many of which claimed to be Orthodox Christians, with the help of the now Godless West, mass raped Bosnians as well as Serbs because they were Muslims or even Christians and others who were allied with Muslims with more rapists and assassins provided by the mercenary Chetniks trained in Russia. Jack Straw spoke of the Serbian “factories of rape” even in Kosovo! Today we have US and other Western recruited professional killer, torturer and rapist mercenaries (bounty killers) called Blackwater-Xe “contractors” used in all legality in their renewed Crusade against Muslims. As it is quite clear, these monsters cannot be called Christians by any stretch of the imagination although this is how most Muslims will sadly perceive them to be, as the invaders are also trying to forcibly convert the Muslim victims and survivors of their deadly attacks to Christianity. But, Muslims can never be converted to Christianity, but only to apostasy and atheism, yes, whereas any Christian can embrace (not convert to) Islam and stay a Christian (of Christ) as Christianity is part of Islam.
My personal deep love for Jesus Christ does not come from the
modern Zionist controlled Churches, but from the ancient Lebanese,
Syrian, Egyptian, desert and mountain monasteries where our early
Christian Fathers were real Mystics with both a pure heart and a soul
and were real HOLY men and martyrs, real SONS OF GOD like Jesus Christ,
as compared to the vain beardless Western Church leaders and Popes of
today. As soon as they ‘found out’ (or Jews told them!) that shaving
does not diminish masculine virility, they rejoiced and soon
homosexuality became rampant, Christ suddenly lost his beard, the Popes
and Clergy lost all spiritual links with Early Christianity and Christ,
and they got rid of the mystery Latin provided in their liturgy.
But, Muslims kept the beard and Arabic and all the mystery (and “magic”!) is still intact despite all the attempts of the West to destroy it. As soon as the Muslims listens to the Holy Qur’ân of timeless wisdom beautifully recited in Arabic (without any accompanying music) they immediately travel back to the Source of the Divine, to their roots and leave this material world for some time. This is the reason the Western military superpowers, despite all their deadly weaponry, fear the Muslims and their Qur’ân so much. Yet, they are convinced they have enough fire power to blow them up all, the entire 1.5 billion people and they do have such a diabolical Freemasonic plan, anyway, not only to exterminate Muslims, but more than 90% of mankind, Christians included. Shall we all, Christians and Muslims wait and squabble continuously among ourselves about the tenets of our religion while the Jews are laughing at us, rejoicing in our face, perverting our culture and religion and murdering us at will? For the Jews, it is “PURIM EVERDAY” as says Brother Mark Glenn!

Saint Ursula Virgin Martyr by Bl. Hildegard of Bingen ✿◠‿◠)

#1 by MJ on May 8, 2011 - 5:48 pmNeedless to say I am not upon what you are upon.
The sunnah (The science of the record of what the prophet did or said) is enough for us. We do not need to stretch our experiences beyond those of the prophet’s. Fasting, praying, charity among the other ways proscribed by Allah according to the dictates of what is ACCEPTABLE to God is how we do things.
We are Submitters/Subjects to His will this has come to us from His last revelation(revealed knowledge) and sunnah the prophetic way. Not our own whims and desires.
We worship him according to His will and desires.
Not our own whims and desires.
Let me repeat, we worship Him according to His will and desires.
As such we do not pass beyond this:
Bafs says:
“Despite the fact that Islam forbids statues, I believe I am unique among Muslims to have experienced closeness to GOD by merely putting my hands on one of them, whether a Christian or Hindu idol.”(MJ says: you are upon what they are upon)
Bafs says: “The rosary and the Holy Qur’ân have in a way replaced the idols in Islam because many (most) humans need that sense of touch while worshipping the Almighty. (I know some will say it is outrageous, but I said this is my personal experience.)”
MJ says:
<< this part of touching and holding the rosaries and Qur'an for the sake of holding and touching is wrong (it is not a talisman) they should be contemplating the Quran and they should be praising/thanking God as the angels do.
If you spend more time contemplating the Qur'an you know that it is enough of a connection with Allah. It is along with other acts of worship more than enough of an experience.

#3 by Vickie Jacobs on May 8, 2011 - 7:35 pmWhen people tend to concentrate to much on scripture alone most tend to loose contact with reality, with God himself. They have turned God into some kind of personal property that nobody can ever possess or understand.
Very true statement. Most look at the bible as sacred in the book it self and never realize that it was written by men and no man is perfect. These are just tools to be used to bring us to the Father. The right tool will always build the best that one is trying to build in their lives…whether that tool is the bible or not.
That is what every person seeks for their lives and what will make us better for ourselves and for others.
Was inspired by what you said.
-
#4 by MJ on May 8, 2011 - 9:33 pmHow can anyone not have contact with God when they are drinking from the spring of His words? This is what scripture is, it is His words.
All good acts are also a means of seeking God consciousness and closeness. We may remove a thorn from the road and smile at our neighbor/friends or family. Hide our secret actions such as supererogatory fasting, charity or prayer seeking His Pleasure alone.
Do you know that Prophet Daud/David peace Be upon Him used to fast every other day? Those who can, can emulate this. We can emulate the asceticism of Prophet Isa and His disdain for the widespread materialism of the age among other good actions. The reliance of Job/Ayyub and his love and trust in God. His constant supplication till the angels knew His voice from above seven heavens.
Fortunately we have enough from revealed knowledge and the good actions of the Prophets that we can use in seeking closeness to God.
How can anyone not have contact with the creator when he/she stays away from the acts that he hates and performs the acts that He loves,with persistence and patience. In search of His Pleasure.
How can we not have contact with the Creator when we eschew excessive comfort and compromise when these are means wherein our soul may find ease.
Surely the Creator is sufficient as a witness for us.

#5 by Mukhtar Khan on May 8, 2011 - 10:12 pmVery impressive piece! Well written brother Basheer. It’s for no lack of wisdom that the Quran says about the Christians in Sura 5:82: “And you will find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: ‘We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud”. That clearly means that Muslims and Christians have some common spiritual tendencies, among them their inclination towards mysticism and their lack of worldly desires as opposed to Jewish traditions which gives importance to worldly affairs such as having strong financial, political and social affiliations, not necessarily for good reasons but mainly for the purpose of abuse and subjugation of others.
But I have to say with a heavy heart that the last 2 hundred years of relentless attacks by Western secular forces have left Christianity badly bruised, beyond recognition. Recovery and a comeback is beyond question. They have surrendered their traditions to the onslaught of secularism and have not even tried to put a good fight. Concessions after concessions, defeats after defeats, apologies after apologies, scandals after scandals, reformations after reformations. Political correctness has left Christianity devoid of any originality and essence. Just costumes and rituals. No forceful theology and a prescribed way of life. There are some exceptions, like the Greek Orthodox tradition, but it has to be seen if they are able to take this onslaught.
The American Christian scene has nothing profound to offer to a seeking soul. The corporatization of Christianity in general and Protestantism in particular has meant that the American Christian scene is devoid of any spiritual link to their traditions and spiritual fathers. People get to teach and preach based on their online degrees???!!! Where is the passing of knowledge from masters to students through traditional chains and methodology?? This is something Islam has tried very hard to preserve, and it has become increasing harder since a Protestant equivalent called the Wahhabis are trying to get rid of these traditions and heritage and turn Islam into a lifeless shell for the sake of “getting rid of human agencies” in religious texts in order to preserve its purity.
Maybe a hundred years ago I would have criticized you brother Basheer for not adhering strictly to a tradition(as I am still not sure if you are a Muslim or not) and allowing too much personal opinion in Divine matters- that is once its Divinity is established- but in these times a person of your belief is coolness to my eyes and a company more worthy than most religious people, because you seem to understand that external piety without internal love and mercy is like a house without inhabitants, not worth living in.

#9 by MJ on May 9, 2011 - 12:10 amThe difference between us Bafs is that you are calling to yourself and your experiences and I am conveying the message which is the work of the prophets and all those who believe in the message. Ultimately the results are with God, we are just to convey.
Without adding to it or subtracting the knowledge that is backed up by the Quran.
There is widespread defamation against Islam and the hijacking of its message by the orientalists and other disinfo agents whose books are found in all of the major bookstores. The media promotes Islamic mysticism or Sufism which is full of innovations in theology and other aspects of disbelief.
Then there are People such as yourself with you own brand of Islam/Christianity slash whatever!. It is tough for the non Muslims to get the true message of Islam.
By all means rewrite the title and call it bafs’s experiences in searching closeness to God according to his ideas, his concepts, his definition of spirituality and his experiences.
Verse 9:31
They (unconditionally) obeyed the rabbis and the monks and worshiped the Messiah, son of Mary, as they should have obeyed God. They were commanded to worship no one besides God who is the only God and who is too exalted to be considered equal to any idols.

#10 by funky d on May 9, 2011 - 1:56 amuntil christians around the world wake up to the subversion of their faith by the talmudic supremacists then they will continue to support that VILE DISGUSTING DESPICABLE DEGENERATIVE RACIST USURPING TALMUDIST SUPREMACIST MURDEROUS PARASITIC TERRORIST HOLOCAUSTING REPTILLIAN ILLEGAL JEWISH MONSTROSITY OF A STATE as if it is their own. they need to do their research on what the parasites believe about god, prophet jesus, christians in general. also they need to learn about how close islam and true christian message of prophet jesus really are.

I think all relligions were created to divide the human race,there will never be unity among them.If one wishes to find GOD, or become close to GOD, look within,because to me GOD is my SOUL, your real self, regardless of which faith or relgion you practise.
Just my two bobs worth

#12 by Ingrid B. on May 9, 2011 - 7:57 amI may not be entitled to an opinion on the subject of god and religeon, but what I am, or am not, what I believe, or not, is my business, and should not be of concern to others. This article though, made me realize that god, to each individual, is a projection of him, or her self, and the image of each individual`s god, is decided by the thoughts, beliefs, and actions of the individual, and is,therefore,a personal thing..

#18 by MJ on May 9, 2011 - 2:20 pmJust for the record bafs. The religion with God is Islam. It is not subject to compromise, since He created the whole thing.
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion” [al-Maa’idah 5:3]
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85].
This is not sectarianism. This is the truth, take it or be averse to it is is your choice. Your aversion does not diminish His kingdom one iota.
In the end there will be 2 camps, due to the Armageddon that they wish to bring about. One with hypocrisy and no faith and one with faith and no hypocrisy and the ostriches can no longer hide. The ostrich will die in this state of events.
Some decent people will come to this understanding now and others after the Prophet Jesus/ Isa’s second coming Perhaps.
Well that’s it, I no longer wish to have my character sacrificed at the alter of your pride.
I too will withdraw from this discussion.

B.A fremaux. Soomally.Who do you think you are to question my personal experiense of life.

#24 by funky d on May 10, 2011 - 2:35 amno bafs i don’t. not keen on tomato sauce, i prefer chilli sauce, or even mint chutney.
as for it being outdated, it never will be in my opinion. if you can think of a way to encapsulate that despicable state in a few words without writing its name (something i am doing as well as doing my best not to say the actual word) then by all means let me know, as it would save me the effort of having to copy and paste it in all my comments. seeing as how they are the root of all evil on this planet it is hard not to comment on events without mentioning them.

As usual, many come on to dump their ignorance or fanaticism here and then move on to other pastures and under other pseudonyms! It is a common disease.
Sad world!

Blessed Hildegard of Bingen (German: Hildegard von Bingen; Latin: Hildegardis Bingensis) (1098 -- 17 September 1179), also known as Saint Hildegard, and Sibyl of the Rhine, was a German writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess, visionary, and polymath. Elected a magistra by her fellow nuns in 1136, she founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama.
She wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts, as well as letters, liturgical songs, poems, and arguably the oldest surviving morality play, while supervising brilliant miniature Illuminations.
