Blaketashi  FAQ

                                                     

  

 

The Blaketashi Darwishes are dedicated to the continual re-incorporation of the Perennial Philosophy into Western Culture,  a function performed in the East by the Sufis.

The Perennial Philosophy is native to all lands and all times, and arises by its own Accord from the Ground of Being.  It arises in a manner which is fructifying, providing Spiritual Nourishment in ways often Unexpected.

The Unexpected, rather than being surprising, hides unexpectedly amongst Common Things.  As William Blake says:

How do you know but ev'ry Bird that cuts the airy way,

Is an immense world of delight, clos'd by your senses five?

In a culture which increasingly seeks novelty and calls it Nourishment, the Blaketashi happily points to the Providence and Abundance which is our collective birthright.
