"A man pestered the teacher Nourettin for information about magical powers, healing gifts, and inner satisfaction through the Sufi Way.
Nourettin said, "You are prowling around our campfire, brother. Shed wolfish acquisitiveness and sup with us, not upon us. You are in the wrong order of thinking. One thing must come before another."

this quote hit me in the heart...What knowledge can ya'll share with me? Any thoughts/analysis of Sufism would be greatly appreciated...
Apparently Idries Shah also wrote this under the psuedonym Arkon Daraul:
A History of Secret Societies by Arkon Daraul

If the name Arkon Daraul or the book's title sound familiar it figures prominently in Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminatus trilogy
