yeah, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when it comes to islam which puts you dangerously into the camp of an islamophobe. go read Guenon if you want to understand innitiation properly (from a "perennialist" perspective).
wake me up when Sophia Perennis publishes you.
until then, peace 🖖

I’ve never read a perennialist thinker’s work. My work is all organic which means it is not tainted by the ideas of those who, independently, arrived at the same conclusions. While truth may not proceed upon consensus, truth can be identified through the establishment of consilience.
I have lots of science on my side. You need to read the right things.
Start with Itzhak Bentov’s book Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness, specifically the appendix on the physio-kundalini model. A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is also good as it explicitly identifies something that is a key takeaway from Stalking the Wild Pendulum: the significance of theta neural oscillations as pertinent to spiritual awakenings.
You’re also going to need to get caught up on Brian Muraresku’s book called The Immortality Key, but that’s only going to get you part of the answer. You’ll have to seek out a 1998 scientific whitepaper from a relevant experiment.
Next, you’re going to have to learn how to decipher language. Christians, for example, use the Chi Rho symbol without knowing what it stands for. They don’t understand Alpha and Omega either. They don’t understand the Holy Trinity, which is a perennial concept that has become distorted within Christianity just as the concepts of djinn, submission, and initiation have become distorted in Islam.
If you think your tradition or any tradition has done a perfect job of propagating the truth from one generation to the next, you’re naive as fuck. Every tradition consists of valid truths, often distorted, but with a hint of truth buried deeply underneath all of that distortion. Every tradition also contains worthless bullshit.
Examples: modern Christian sacraments like the Eucharist and Baptism are nothing now but hollow shells of the original versions. The Eucharist was similar to the Eleusinian and/or Dionysian mysteries in terms of spiritual utility/purpose.
Likewise, baptism was meant to induce spiritual awakenings. Baptism is an Egyptian word. Your Arabic language’s 2nd letter is Ba. Esoterically uninformed Egyptologists misunderstand, misinterpret, and mistranslate the spiritual meaning of “Ba”. They do not understand why it is next to Alif. Alif and Ba are the same as Yang and Yin, Alpha and Omega, Aleph & Teth, Chi and Rho, etc. They are all symbolic expressions pointing at enlightenment l, rapture, salvation, photisma, illumination, halos, Nur/Noor, Kether, the Tibetan Rainbow body, the Christoa oil, Joseph’s multicolored dreamcoat, etc.
Bottom line:
Memorizing the heavily distorted concepts that have become ossified into the dogmas of various exoteric religious traditions does not mean that you have a profound or deep understanding of spiritual truths. One must, with great intellectual honesty, diligence, curiosity, and humility, study all faith traditions past and present seeking common ground between them. People who do not seek common ground are heresy hunters, and heresy hunters do not abide the Golden Rule.
Persist in your ignorance if you must. You, and everyone else who fails to be unconditionally loving and honest in addition to submitting, will be the beneficiaries of God’s infinite mercy in the form of as many incarnations as you need to achieve enlightenment and reach heaven/nirvana/devachanic planes.
The choice is yours. You can become honest and loving or you can stay dogmatic and wrong.
