| The Sufis
emphasized a kind of conformity or group work that did not appeal to my individualistic
nature. They also used Biblical terms that reminded me of Christianity and its dogma.
Their God seemed too personal and too emotional. I preferred the more detached and
impersonal pure consciousness of dharmic traditions. I had occasional contacts with various Sufis through the years. I visited several of their centers and spoke with them on many topics. Many American born Sufis viewed Sufism in a yogic way. Their connection is more to Rumi than to Mohammed. But the Sufis that I met who had strong overseas connections were different. They saw Islam as better than the dharmic traditions of the East and insisted that one become an orthodox Muslim before becoming a Sufi. This caused me to lose interest in the Sufi path.
