Tonight's episode and the next 1 (or 2, currently undecided) episodes, are an examination of a religious sect in America which have received very little attention as far as I can tell. I figured I should change that. This is a journey into the mystical heart of so-called "Universal (or Western) Sufism." A form of Sufism that asserts the fundamental unity of all religious traditions. This episode and the information contained therein sets the stage for the following episode(s) which I believe will be some of the most fascinating in Mystical America's short but infamous podcasting history. Wish I could say more but let's just say it involves the Cheesecake factory, a mysterious white marble compound, and large sums of money. In this episode, I discuss the cosmic musician/Sufi master Inayat Hazrat Khan, what Sufism is and isn't and how universal Sufism differs from more orthodox Islamic forms of Sufism, religious polymath Murshid Samuel Lewis and how God told him to lead the hippies, the appeal of Universalism to post-war America and much much more. After banishing all malevolent Djinn from your household, turn your AirPods on and tune into the golden soundwaves of Mystical Motherfreaking America.
