Introduction
to the Sufi-Zardust Path
As Utilized by the Gnostic Manichaean
Teachings of the Naz-Mani
In the Living Gods, Let the
hallowed Light of Transcendant Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery
of Miryai awaken in the heart of hearts.
The Naz-Mani Path utilizes the terminology
and some of the teachings of various spiritual traditions during its various
liturgical seasons. During the 7 weeks beginning for groups on Full
moon after Nov 5,
Adventide, Late Fall the
Zarathustrian and Sufi traditions are merged
with the Gnosis, thru "Skillful means", to create a 43(+7) day study and
practice program. (For those outside of a spiritual community, the solar
dates for this season can be substituted for the luni-solar ones used in
community.) This program concentrates on abstention, fasting, denial, repentance
and reflection. It is of course not traditional Islam or Zoroastrian, but
does incorporate some of the terminology and teachings from both. The seventh
week of this Zauma period overlaps with the first week of Qyamta during
a special week called Hamsha.
The Teaching is not in harmony with the Abrahamic
religions, it is against the Torah, New Testament and Koran. It does not
accept most doctrines associated with Moses, Jesus, Paul and Mohamed. But
it does appreciate many of the mystics within these religions, and some
texts and parts of their more esoteric branches. The Zohar of Judaism is
valued, the Gnostic writings of esoteric Christianty and some of the monastic
mystics are appreciated, as are many Sufi poets and teachings.
