Lie is like a statue, Sufism, Impossibility of not repeating the myth.

Lie is like a statue, Sufism, Impossibility of not repeating the myth. By Dr. Sohail Ansari

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·        I take no pride in my uniqueness, I am simply proud of not being proud.

·        Only great people can call themselves great; I am great because I call myself great.  

·        I am a perfect teacher because in guiding students away from problem, I always guide them away from solution.

Lie is like a statue

·       Statue is always in a stone; one just needs to chip away certain pieces. Lie is always in a truth and appears just be the conscious omission of aspects of the truth relevant in the particular context.   

Dilemmas of Sufism doom efforts to resuscitate it.

·        Revolutionary process (inner metamorphosis) resulted in Iran and recently in Egypt from the absence of conditions Sufism (version of Islam antithesis to recently coined term ‘political Islam’_ a bête noire to west) deems necessary for the revolution such as withdrawal from the social mainstream to exercise self-denial and practice asceticism. The character of movement in Iran and Egypt were revolutionary; the mass urge to see the domination of Islam expressed through rallies and demonstrations from below and then philosophy was directed from above with all measures to ensure its manifestation in the lives of masses. Sufi cannot remain   politically passive without being ineffective in Muslim societies. This fact, paradoxical from the Sufism premises, underlined the subsequent dilemmas: in non-Muslim counties for example in India, Sufi cannot remain Sufi in the original meaning of term. The indifference to jingoistic and chauvinistic politics of India is interpreted as the tacit support for Pakistan; and this political apathy has its own cost. In both cases revision of the doctrine is inevitable; the division of Sufism into orthodox and revisionist only tends to conceal the fact that its premises have ceased to be relevant for either.   

Not repeating the myth becomes impossible

·       Political marketing consultant creates material so that it can be the insidious part of the education system or chapters of text book or anything that is believed to be the source of objective information. Political marketing consultant ensures the recycling of this disinformation in the media and in the educational system so that disinformation item becomes a fact so well-known that not repeating the myth becomes impossible and citizen acquires the false impression of their or other country and can be incited to reject proposals or ignore the experience of others. A good example is the monarchy in Saudi Arabia believed to be by its citizen far superior to democracy.
