FeaturesWhite Magic (Ruhaniya)

by NUR
11-Apr-2009

Moving from sectarian religious politics to a subject more dearer, many of my

close friends know me as a practicing magus of the White Magic Tradition
widespread amongst Sufis and occultists in the Islamic world known as Ruhaniya
(lit. spirituality, but denoting white magic as opposed to black magic or
sorcery, which is properly sihr). Currently this stream of praxis is
concentrated almost exclusively within the Sufi Orders who transmit such
knowledge to select students, usually the more advanced. Although there has been
an explosion of publications and reprints of texts since the end of the last
Lebanese civil war from Beirut, throughout much of the more traditional and
fundamentalist enclaves in the Islamic world such practices are either frowned
upon or outright persecuted. Iran currently seems to be the only exception to
this rule, but in Sa'udi Arabia and throughout much of the Gulf kingdoms the
practice of ruhaniya is outright proscribed by law and punishable in some cases
even by death, esp. Sa'udi Arabia. This does not mean, however, that there
aren't presently any practicing ruhani maguses in this part of the world. It
means that they are forced to practice in secret, dissimulate and do their Work
largely underground.
The scope of the Ruhaniya Tradition pretty much encompasses every area of the
Craft that is known in other occult traditions. In short this tradition can be
classified as a form of practical Islamic Hermeticism. Yet much like the
practical Kabbalah in Judaism - i.e. a tradition the Ruhaniya both interfaces
with quite a bit and was influenced by - the central, proof-text of this
tradition is the Qur'an. But it is a Qur'an that is liberated from crass
literalism and so interpreted from a totally esoteric point of view; that is, a
Qur'an that is taken as being a living, magical text or grimoire to be
continually used. To put it another way, the Qur'an is to the Ruhani White
Magician what the Tarot is to the Western occult tradition and its maguses, or
what the Torah is to the Jewish Kabbalists. Talismans, amulets, charms and magic
squares are all constructed to invoke specific formulas and energies culled
directly from within the Qur'an. The Angels and the Jinn (the Islamic version of
the Elementals of the Western tradition), i.e. the two species of subtle
entities this tradition interacts with the most, are invoked and conjured using
formulas originally derived from the Qur'an. It is for this reason, and others,
why traditional religious establishments and the Islamists have a problem with
this tradition. But, even with that, this has not stopped the general popularity
of ruhaniya in many mainstream quarters of the Islamic world especially with the
average populace seeking out and consulting such adept occultists wherever and
whenever they can find them genuinely. Unfortunately, as in many such similar
areas, the charlatans and pretenders are many here as well!
In Iran once one leaves the big cities there are genuine ruhani practitioners
virtually everywhere in the rural parts of the country. Exorcisms of people
possessed by jinn or demons is quite widespread as a regular event in rural
Iran, and one point of view amongst many such Iranian maguses is that the root
of all mental illness is to be found within some sort of entity possession - be
it jinn or demon. Interestingly enough virtually every indigenous shaman in
traditions as far-flung as those in Sibiera or the Amazon believe identically
the same thing as well, using various herbs and transmitted formulas of their
own to its remedy. In Iran, on the other hand, the one herb that is used
regularly - whether in the form of incense or otherwise - for all purpose
magical usage is the Esphand, or the Syrian Rue seed. Its usage has long
antiquity since it is one of the most sacred herbs in the Zoroastrian faith
whose smoke continually fills prayer halls and homes alike.
I should also mention the name of the central figure of this tradition, the
eleventh/twelfth century Tunisian master and occultist Shaykh Ahmad al-Buni, who
is the author of one of the most prized but also most often banned and
controversial books in the entire Islamic world, i.e. Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra
(the Great Sun of Gnoses). To be in possession of this book in the Kingdom of
Sa'udi Arabia is punishable by imprisonment and even public flogging. To be
caught practicing from it, is known in one instance to be punishable by death. I
am presently in the process of translating this amazing Islamic occult
encyclopedia in full from the original Arabic and have completed a draft of the
first book (of four). The Persian equivalent to al-Buni and his tome is Husayn
'Ali ibn al-Kashifi's sixteenth century Asrar-i-Qasimi (Qasimi's Secret) which
deals with his classification of the occult sciences into 1) Kimiya (alchemy),
2) Limiya (talismanic magic), 3) Himiya (subjugation of souls), 4) Simiya
(letter magic/producing visions) and 5) Rimiya (conjuration). Note that the
first letters of the names of these five sciences when put together spell the
Arabic phrase Kulluhu Sirr (all of it is a Mystery/Secret).
I leave my reader now pointing to a collection of my own writings and
translations on the subject of this tradition, here, and a collection of the
original language texts, here.

You are what you accuse
by Anonymous414 (not verified) on Mon Jun 01, 2009 09:53 PM PDT

Some of you might recall that I went after NUR when he was hammering you Baha'is
some time ago. I subsequently got into a dialogue with him in email, at first
heated, and realized that what he is saying about some of you Baha'is might
actually be true after all. I came to this realization by watching your behavior
with other people once NUR left. I still remain to be convinced about everything
he says, but the utter malice and hatred that emanates out your message here
caught my eye so I decided to respond.
NUR is more a Sufi than many of you could ever realize. He is certainly no fluff
and love wimp, if that is your idea of Sufis and Sufism. But he certainly isn't
the deranged fundamentalist that you definitely are. Consider that he is "a fire
to his enemies and a river of life eternal to his loved ones" to quote
Baha'u'llah, and that is definitely a Sufi in the best tradition of a Bayazid or
Sahl Tustari. He certainly has proven that to me.

You may be all kinds of anything
by Yazdgerd (not verified) on Fri May 15, 2009 10:11 PM PDT

But you are no kind of Sufi.

The Sufi claims nothing for himself - and you are a puffing charlatan, parading
your sobriquette like a puffed-out peacock, fanning his glorious tail, for
others to admire. Your powerful, but misinformed intellect is brandished, not as
a fire to light the way for others, with compassion amidst the darkness - but as
a sword of disputation and severence among communities. The ideas of others are
all you have, and you use them like a jackdaw, who lines its nest with shiny,
stolen objects. Inward experience would sew shut, the mouth of claims and
judgements, while the voice of compassion would spill like sugar from your lips.
But you are a jealous charlatan, and have none of these. You court the world,
and the admiration of its other prisoners. Leaving behind both worlds? That is
the striving of the Sufi, who abandons his own being.

Cyber-Criminal and Baha'i Terrorist Badi Villar

Badi Villar Cardenas is a Lima, Peru based member of a dangerous rightwing

Stalinist religious cult known as Haifan Baha'ism. In his capacity as a member
of this cult, on the internet he serves in their Baha'i Internet Agency.
Throughout Latin and South America, in the past Haifan Baha'ism has been
involved with CIA-funded rightwing regimes, such as that of Augusto Pinochet in
Chile, and even rightwing death squads in El Salvador in the 1980s as well as
the CIA crack-cocaine funded Contras in Nicaragua in the 1980s. Members of the
Haifan Baha'i National Spirtual Assembly of Chile served in the cabinets of
Augusto Pinochet and so are culpable for the human rights violations under the
Pinochet regime against the people of Chile. Recently high ranking members of
Haifan Baha'ism in Peru maintained close ties simultaneously to the ousted
authoritarian regime of Alberto Fujimori as well as Abimael Guzman's the Maoist
Shining Path terrorist organization. It is a well known fact that uhj member
Farzam Arbab, the father of the Ruhi Institutes, developed his model upon that
of Marxist guerilla indoctrination cells which the Shining Path maintained in
the jungles of Peru, Bolivia and Columbia. With Alberto Fujimori high ranking
members of the NSA of Peru have maintained (and apparently still do) financial
interests. On April 7, 2009, Fujimori was convicted of human rights violations
and sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in killings and kidnappings by
the Grupo Colina death squad during his government's battle against leftist
guerrillas in the 1990s.

In his various capacities in the Peruvian Haifan Baha'i community, Badi Villar
Cardenas serves as consultant to several Haifan Baha'i owned agribusiness
contractors in the Amazon, one of which is owned by Costa Rica (cosa nostra)
based Iranian Baha'i Hozhabr Yazdani. These are (Haifan Baha'i) companies who
are responsible for logging and destruction of the Amazon rainforests and
contributing to the genocide against the native Amerindian peoples living along
the river -- monies which they then send to their cult headquarters in Haifa,
occupied Palestine. As such Badi Villar Cardenas is an accomplice in the war and
genocide against the indigenous Quechua peoples and, along with his Baha'i cosa
nostra masters, a war criminal who should be hauled before a human rights
commission at the Hague

The Ayahuasca does not cure the narcissism
by Israfil (not verified) on Thu May 07, 2009 01:39 PM PDT

Well, just look at the characteristics of the narcissist:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and
talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Nima regards himself as superior to just about everyone. He's a better scholar
than anyone else, even though he never finished his degree, nor has he published
in academic journals. He certainly regards himself as spiritually superior to
everyone else, at times even making claims to divine status. But he has never
managed to accomplish anything; as far as I know, he's being financially
supported by his parents and doesn't even have a job. That's one reason he has
so much time to post on trb.
2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance,
beauty, or ideal love
Nima certainly regards himself as powerful, even claiming credit for unfortunate
events that happen to his enemies.
(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood
by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or
institutions)
Certainly true -- although he doesn't so much associate himself with "special"
people; he just makes claims that anyone he associates with is special in some
way.
(4) requires excessive admiration
He certainly needs a lot of attention.
5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially
favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Nima gets very angry if people don't do things his way, or disagree with him at
all -- that's the main reason he broke with his Baha'i liberal friends, starting
with Juan Cole.
6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve
his or her own ends
For Nima, people only exist to serve his needs; if they fail to do that, then
they are dropped and denounced. I've seen that happen over and over again.
(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and
needs of others
Nima is one of the most vicious people I have ever known; he has no sympathy for
anyone's feelings at all. He uses his friends, and sets out to deliberately
destroy his enemies without mercy.
8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
I haven't noticed Nima being envious, but he certainly believes that others are
obsessed with him. This kind of paranoia is very characteristic of a narcissist.
After all, only a very important person would be persecuted by so many people.
This is one reason why I recommend that Nima be completely ignored. Any kind of
attention, whether positive or negative, only reinforces his belief in his own
importance.
(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Nima is extremely arrogant, as I'm sure all you know.
Some other common characteristics of narcissists, that don't appear on the
diagnostic are:
a) They lie -- constantly and blatantly, and with full knowledge of what they
are doing. They are so arrogant that they expect they will be believed, no
matter how outrageous the falsehood. I think Nima knows exactly what he is
doing; he's not "crazy" in the sense that he cannot tell the difference between
fantasy and reality. He deliberately lies.
b) The narcissists thrives on chaos; they're always in the middle of a fight.
One reason that Nima broke with other Baha'i dissidents is because he wanted a
more intense "war" than they were willing to engage in. Things were starting to
calm down, compared to the late '90s. Nima needs the excitement of conflict.

all this, especially with the links, which seem to be extremely important. But
honestly I can't think of a more pleasant way of spending Easter Sunday. Just
please don't give me any more information, not even poems. This is more than
enough to chew on for one day.
I'd also make a little suggestion, at risk of bringing up the bugerboo, but I
think it would be a good idea if you removed the little statement about
deletions at the bottom of your post. Along with the numbering. You don't need
to number your posts for yourself, do you? As regards the statement itself, I
think if you let it go you'd feel safer here, and really you are safe here.
Jahanshah won't delete you. He won't. Trust me. So why keep having to look at
that thing and number things, which will only reinforce in your mind the idea
that he will persecute you when he won't?
And I also think it would be a good way for you to have a smoother dynamic with
the publisher. Even though he won't delete you, you should be aware that he
announced recently that unlike the usual, when he works with a moderation team,
he's doing all the moderation himself. TEMPORARILY. This means that he combsall
the threads to make sure there's nothing blatantly offensive to delete. (His
standards are quite liberal, as witnessed by his non-deletion of posts on your
recent threads, but from time to time deletion is necessary).
Now, given the terrible way you two get along, and the history you have
together, if I were Jahanshah and I were combing the threads, and I saw that
statement at the bottom of all your posts, it would irritate me. It really
would.
And frankly the two of you irritate each other enough already without adding
fuel to the fire. :op
Oh yeah and ps, don't think you have to supply me with any more information,
opinions and/or history regarding Jahanshah. You don't.

Well, as you know, there are volumes of scientific books written on all manner
of things and look where they've gotten the planet.
 inappropriate and immature encounters of an egocentric or defensive soul with
the Ether
What do you mean by the Ether?
Does chamanism and sihr o jadoo of any color use any kind of plant derived
medicine that can bring rational thoughts back or is it a lost war
Not about plants per se but let me tell you a little story.
There's a Native American psychiatrist who wrote several books, one called
Coyote Healing. He is also a practicing shaman.
He tells the story of a severely psychotic white young man who in a small town
I think in North Dakota started shooting willy nilly and screaming "I wanna be
an injun. I wanna be injun."
Naturally everyone hid, but they psyciatrist was with a master shaman and the
shaman bravely approached the young man and he said, so you wanna be an injun.
Okay, I'll teach you to be an injun. Now put down the gun and come with me and
from now on you are going to do every single thing I tell you.
And the young man did.
The shaman took the young man under his wing for several years. At first he
barely allowed him to breathe or sneeze without his permission. In other words,
he micromanaged all his actions. Little by little the young man became more
reality-based (as in consensus reality) and could have more independence.
The master shaman began using him as his assistant in shamanic practice and
gradually began to teach him the art.
The young man learned to be a shaman. And he became fully functional and sane n
the"ordinary" world as well.
Now we have to remember that there are several factors at play. We are dealing
with a healthy, almost pollution-free environment. We are dealing with very
healthy well-balanced diet. We are dealing with 24 hour care.
But probably most importantly, we are dealing with a "psychotic's" induction
into a healing art which is totally accepted within the Native American culture,
revered in fact, rather than villified, the vehicle and end goal of which are to
enter states which "Western" culture would consider psychotic, however to be
able to control them.
Thus the young man's psychotic world was not invalidated by the surrounding
culture, rather valued but harnessed and channeled.
The young man after several years decided that shamanism and being an injun
weren't quite his "thing."
The psychiatrist ran into him one day on the train. He was going to school. He
was studying to become a social worker.
Oh ps and by the by, they aren't mentioned in the book but it is beyond a shadow
of a doubt that medicinal herbs were used. As you know, they are part and parcel
of the Native American culture in general, and most especially of the shamans.

Thanks
by NUR on Sat Apr 11, 2009 10:29 PM PDT

For my true, underlying religion, let me quote one of my favourite poems by the
Andalusian Sufi master Ibn 'Arabi:
Wonder,
A Garden amongst the flames!
My heart is capable of taking on any form
A meadow for gazelles
For the idols sacred ground
A cloister for monks
The pilgrim's Ka'aba
The tablets of the Torah
The scrolls of the Qur'an!
My religion is love
And wherever its caravan turns along the way
That is my creed, my belief, my faith!
That said, for purposes of taxonomy you can call me also a Fatimi, i.e. an
Islamo-Bayani completely devoted to the People of the House (ahl al-bayt) and
their esoteric teachings. Withal, 'irfan is 'irfan whatever its outward forms
and trappings, and in its specifically Iranian Shi'ite setting its fundamental
reality on many levels is the same whether you be a Sufi, a non-Sufi Shi'a 'arif
(gnostic) or a Bayani. I am, however, besides a confessed Bayani also an
initiated Sufi in the Qadiri-Safialishahi sub-branch of the Ni'matullahi Sufi
Order (this is a branch not associated with Javad or Alireza Nurbakhsh) and in
it I bear the tariqati name of Vahdatalishah (meaning, the King of the Unity of
'Ali/the High). Given my initiatic name, you can see why I can walk in the
singular but outwardly diverse streams of Iranian Shi'ite gnosis ('irfan) with
some ease simultaneously as a Sufi and a Bayani - or, rather, a Fatimi!
There is presently no recognized Mirror (mirat) or head of the Bayani community.
Subh-i-Azal had initially nominally appointed Hajji Mirza Muhammad Hadi
Dawlatabadi to succeed him, but the latter died just a few short years before
Subh-i-Azal's own ascension in 1912. Presently the leadership of the Bayani
community is collective.
As to why I oppose Haifan Bahaism: although I wanted to leave aside any
discussion of these people here, I will say I publicly oppose them because they
are an extremely dangerous Stalinist and totalitarian New World Order cult with
some extremely troubling pretensions and goals to theocracy and world
domination. Also, they have lied and whitewashed history about themselves and
demonized us Bayanis and our sacred figures for 100+ years now, and they have an
agenda for Iran that if implemented would make what has happened to Iraq as of
2003 look like nothing by comparison! They also lie and regularly exagerrate
regarding the human rights violations they claim in Iran, not to mention they
are attempting to monopolize the whole human rights and persecution issue in
Iran exclusively for themselves. To them, it is as if no one else but them has
been legitimately persecuted and only they rightfully deserve the epithet of
victim. Plus they have assaulted and abused the integrity of myself and my
family many, many times and engaged in some incredibly criminal, but
underhanded, things against myself over the years. They also have no real
esoteric spirituality to speak of, and everything that they claim in terms of a
spirituality is taken/stolen from elsewhere from others and throughly sanitized
- particularly from Sufism and the Bayan. They are what French esotericist Rene
Guenon would call a counter-tradition.
Scholar Abbas Amanat has claimed that the Nuri family as a whole prior to their
adherence to Babism in the mid 1840s were associated with the Ni'matullahi Sufi
Order in Tehran during the 1830s and early 1840s. He adduces this given that
most court notables and the Qajar aristocracy where affiliated with Sufism of
one variety during this period. I am not dismissing what Amanat says, and do
wholeheartedly agree with the general observation (because it is true), but I
would also like to see more evidence for the specific Ni'matullahi affiliation
he claims. That said, although he tried to carve himself into the mold of a
wandering dervish during his sojourn in Iraqi Kurdistan in the late 1850s (while
bearing the name Darvish Muhammad Irani), there is no evidence that Mirza Husayn
'Ali Baha' was a practicing Sufi or an initiate of any sort. He is, on the other
hand, what some would pejoratively call mutasawwif.
William McElwee Miller's The Baha'i Faith: It's History and Teachings is in my
opinion one of the best introductory textbooks in any language on Bahaism. For
more contemporary events, look at Juan Cole's The Baha'i Faith in America as
Panopticon.

The medicinal use of psychoactive plants
by NUR on Sat Apr 11, 2009 08:22 PM PDT

You raise a very good question. But the Traditional shamanic physician or
occultist would also disagree with the foundational etiologies of mental illness
as well as both theoretical and empirical bases of diagnoses to begin with. The
science of the West is obviously to some degree at a serious handicap in the
area of the human psyche, and even many mental health researchers would agree
here. So the question you ask is decidedly in the negative: absolutely not, the
battle is not lost by a long shot!
You might note that in the past 20-30 years there has been an upsurge of
interest and usage in the West amongst those seeking alternative remedies with
psychoactive plant medicines deriving from the indigenous cultures of the
Americas, such as the tryptamine containing Ayahuasca tea or the mescaline
derived from the San Pedro and Peyote cactuses. There is presently an entire
industry of Ayahuasca tourism in Peru and Ecuador which is helping people seek
alternative healing therapies, and you have two psychedelic Christian Churches
(and various spin-offs) based in Brazil using Ayahuasca for both healing and
sacramental purposes, i.e. Santo Daime and UdV. Jacques Mabit, a former
head-honcho of Doctors Without Borders, left his position in the 1980s to found
a research institute in Peru known as Takiwasi where serious drug addicts and
schizophrenic patients have apparently been treated successfully over a
relatively short period of time by native Amerindian shamans of the Ayahuasca.
In Mexico there are several outfits utilizing the African Ibogaine to the same
end - and apparently, some claim, with more success than the Ayahuasca. If you
are a psychologist, psychiatrist or mental health professional I seriously
recommend you get a copy of Benny Shanon's book THE ANTIPODES OF THE MIND:
Charting the Phemomenology of the Ayahuasca Experience.
That said, as I mentioned elsewhere to someone else here earlier, in Iran the
use of the Esphand (i.e. Syrian Rue) extends well beyond just purposes of
incense. I know from first hand personal experience that occultists in Iran make
a tea from the seeds of the Esphand not too dissimilar to the Ayahuasca
(incidentally the chemistry of the Syrian Rue is identical to one of the two
lead ingredients in Ayahuasca, i.e. harmaline). The occult properties of the
Esphand are known amongst practitioners to repel various types of insanity,
depression, and obviously entity possession (from which we believe these things
usually initiate), and its regular use is known to strengthen mental acuity and
the general mental constitution and well-being.
Unfortunately governments, university and private foundations (except for one)
in the West are totally resistant to funding research into this area of the
healing properties of plant medicines, and the pharmaceutical companies are
making sure that it stays that way. Albert Hoffman was getting quite far in the
supervised psychiatric use of the ergot based LSD with patients in the 1960s,
but was shut down. The last US government funded research project into a
psychoactive substance was Rick Strassman's investigation into DMT (i.e. the
other lead component of Ayahuasca) in the early 1990s. Since then virtually
nothing has happened other than a small private outfit in New Mexico who is
funding the projects of various ethnobotanists and ethnopharmacologists on
Ayahuasca. Apparently one research project involves specifically the scientific
investigation and lengthy taxonomization of the treatement of schizophrenia and
multiple personality disorders with Ayahuasca.
Hope this answers your question. And, again let me underscore, no the war is not
lost!

Hunted by superstitions and personality disorders
by Theosophia (not verified) on Sat Apr 11, 2009 07:28 AM PDT

Mr/Ms;
There are volumes of scientific books on the subject of mental disorders,
evidenced based science.
According to medical science, ultimately the manifestations of psychotic and
affective disorders are the imbalance in the neuro-electro-chemistry of the
brain and the etiology could be Organic brain disease, drug induced, trauma... .
Some of the manifestations of these drug induced mental/personality/affective
disorders are the result of an inappropriate and immature encounters of an
egocentric or defensive soul with the Ether which would become exceedingly
difficult to treat. There are powerful anti psychotics that can restore order in
the functions of the brain and bring emotional and mental normalcy but have many
side effects.
Does chamanism and sihr o jadoo of any color use any kind of plant derived
medicine that can bring rational thoughts back or is it a lost war.

Hey Nur, I am a fan of yours.

I love your blogs and I respect you for your open challenges to the Bahai cult.
Some question for you :
What is your religion ?
Are you a Moslem ?
Some time u quote Imam Ali and quran, Some time you talk about sufism and some
time you talk of Bayani Faith.
Why do you oppose Bahaiyyat so much?
Was Bahaullah also a Sufi ?
Who is the current head of Azali Faith ?
Which is the best book to study Baha'i faith as per your view?
