When I first met with Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri at his “Journey in Consciousness” retreat held in Wiltshire in 2011, he was very clear in his vision of me as he expressed it to me and to those present.

He said, “…. I see you as a teacher and a teacher of teachers …. have you started teaching yet?”

There may be some who presently react to my more forthright language now as I write and publish my book Conscious-Contact. However, it may be that seven years is long enough for the vision of one Sufi to become manifested in the actions of another.

There is only One consciousness, therefore only One teacher. By contact the teaching is transmitted. The only requisite for this to take place effectively then, is for the one who is conscious of the fact that consciousness is Singular, to be able to allow the word tact to be a real and living interface of communication.

The opening of the conversation between Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri and myself in 2011 was that he said that I was very courteous. I replied that this was only a reflection of his own courtesy toward me. He laughed and said that that was the end of our conversation then!

You can check for yourself as you respond to reading this, just how near you are to this prerequisite for hearts to touch, for the teaching of consciousness by consciousness to take place quintessentially in Itself, by Itself, for Itself, from Itself and back to Itself.

My teaching, such as it is mine, is to help you to remove the ill-mannered obstacles to the flowing of your tears of recognition of yourself, for yourself, as you then reconnect to the fact of light, that your life exists in an ocean of limitless consciousness that is Love.
