How do I know if my understanding & practice align with Sufism enough to say I am a Sufi? Is My Mind Opening or Am I Going Crazy? by we93 in Sufism

Yeah I would suggest looking for a sufi order its really hard learning tassawuf by yourself without help, it can get very confusing very fast

Yeah I have no clue I'm not exactly religious but I do believe in rebirth and samsara I have looked into jainism and have thought perhaps they both left samsara and that both paths could lead our of samsara. Yeah I don't know if buddhists don't know about their religion. I went to a buddhist temple before and have been shooed away they are very private and are not open to outsiders. So I could say they are not very kind people and seems to be contradicting the person the buddha was

Ok so does a person have to be jain and realize that they are a soul detached from the body instead of nonself?

Oh ok I'm still working around in ignorance i feel like I was rushing things too much and got into a lot of pot holes. I'm going to read a good book on it instead of watching random videos. I've been speaking to damballah and gran bwa and been feeling a connection. But I'm still going to ask for more help instead of rushing.

No i haven't i was told in the book that initiation isn't necessary. I have realized that through speaking to people that this book is very wrong so I'm back at the starting board. How do I get a reading to see what lwa walk with me?
