Re: Grant Colfax Tullar: The Weaver

Lila — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 01:36:55 -0000

When researching this poem today for use in a sermon, I came across many sites and several versions. Consistently I read it is well-loved and there are lots of postings about it being helpful. The title remains unclear (Tapestry, the Weaver, The Weaver's Hand etc.) and there are a few claims about its origin--mostly author unknown/anonymous. This poem is attributed to Benjamin(e) Malachi Franklin (1882-1965) on several sites. Most spellings of his name are the regular Benjamin without an "e". On one website is a photo of his gravestone in Mississippi, USA and basic lineage. Under the poem entitled "My Life is But a Weaving" it says: "Benjamin Malachi Franklin 1882-1965
wrote the poem in the late forties. It was first published in 'The
Memphis Commercial Appeal' newspaper in 1950, per his grandson Bob
Corley." I read elsewhere that the same grandson, Bob Corley has published this poem in a book that has a Library of Congress number; he says that the poem had only 4 verses. Corrie Ten Boom often quoted this poem and it appeared in one of her books (The Hidden Place)--I believe with the additional verse added as well.

It would have been nice if you'd given proper credit for this translation of Zarruq's Qawa'id at-Tasawwuf. What you have above is taken from Zaineb Istrabadi's doctoral dissertation ("'The Principles of Sufism' ('Qawa'id al-Tasawwuf'): An annotated translation with introduction"), which is available on the internet.

Peace to you! I just found your awesome blog while researching the Divine Feminine in Islam. I have 2 questions. How can I add your blog to a blog reader? I use Google Reader and it won't acknowledge it as a blog. Also where is the image from of the woman? I would like to save it to use for inspiration in a future art project, insha'Ala.

no - no - I really was confused. You acted as an instrument of the divine to provide me with a sobering experience which I really needed at the time, so many many thanks! I actually love the picture of the soldiers. Why did you pick that one?

Re: Sufi Powers of Invisibility

SAT Admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:03:03 -0000

No, you author your own perceptions and your own reactions.
Quite a fancy one at that. Considering it reflects the similitude of the soldiers.
Please don't troll this site.

Your inability to grasp the metaphor of how the unlettered have preconceived notions about the manner in which others' hold their views is quite ironic.

Interesting and thorough discussion. Have there been controlled experiments with psychic auras with persons supposedly sensitive to same?

I got really delighted by reading this book. It seems to keep the positive aspects of metaphysical men without being traped in modern subjectivism or old metaphysics.

It is always useful to have counterpoints such as those offered here, in order to more effectively negate the psychological escape and illusion of attachment to an idea or concept, which can never be the thing itself, and can only ever be 'thought' and 'ego' traps attempting to insidiously reassert themselves.

Re: Krishnamurti: It Doesn’t Matter If You Die For it

Chris — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:09:54 -0000

This is one of K's most challenging and disarming statements; a real test of integrity, from which there is no where to escape psychologically if one finds that one is only playing or toying with his teachings, and is not therefore actually all that serious in relation to bringing about a radical change in oneself. And to see this in the context of a talk with children. This statement is one that I use as a kind of ultimate test of my own integrity, and I intend to discover for myself how to live with that level of freedom from the apparent, yet illusory safety zone of 'the known'. Thank you for the posting.
