No, I'm just a brainwashed Muslim.
Well, seriously, even though I don't usually refer to myself as anything more specific than simply a "Muslim," I think that my understanding of Islam is more in agreement with the views of the Hanafi school of thought. Therefore, if someone asks me to further specify my position as a Muslim, then I would tell them that I'm a "Hanafi Muslim" (Sunni). However, I do believe in most of the fundamental aspects behind Sufism as taught by Sufi teachers and those are the ones which have been incorporated into my religious beliefs. Sufism also expands into other areas (in addition to Islam) such as philosophy, metaphysics, art, science, culture, and psychology, for example. You can learn more about Sufism at the link below:
