From the article:
Making Love: Leonard Cohen and the Sufis (Part 1)
Guests of Love: Leonard Cohen and the Sufis (Part 2)
Much of Cohens music, especially in his later years, was about grace. How we dont deserve it, but it makes its way into our lives anyway. There is a crack in everything he sang, Thats how the light gets in.....
(Cohen wrote
In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the nameless makes
A name for one like me....
Rumi, too, identifies with dust when confronted with this indescribable One:
Dust settles upon my head and upon my metaphors,
for You are beyond anything we can either think or say

(148,008 posts)That's obvious. Your deliberate failure to include any commentary on what you post is telling. Some of us do go and read at your links. All too often, what we find there contradicts what you are obviously trying to say. I often wonder if you even read the articles from which you post excerpts. The evidence seems to say that you don't.

(49,533 posts)Or do you reserve the right to imbue religion with special meaning and specific credit for things when you feel like it?
Naw, I know the answer. You will of course continue to try and have it both ways, and demonstrate why no one should take you seriously.

(42,649 posts)But thank you for your interest.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)Glad you're backing away from it though, it was absurd and good for you to figure that out.
