General Note:

Abstract: This volume presents the extraordinary diversity of Sufi ideas and activities in many countries and cultures. Sufism is, according to its adherents, the inner, mystical dimension of Islam. A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a Sufi, though some adherents of the tradition reserve this term only for those practitioners who have attained the goals of the Sufi tradition. Included are firsthand accounts of Sufi learning methods; the Sufi meeting place; avoiding imitators; Sufi work enterprises; the idea of organic enterprises; entry into a Sufi group; the Sufi Adept and the projection of mind; extra-sensory perception; what the Sufis do not want us to know; and more.
