The concept of Irfan (mystical Knowledge) makes sense to me and is the premise of the Kitab-i-Iqan.
Your signature says you are the enemy of Muhammad?
I thought you were a mystic? Care to explain?
Well all of that Baha'is I have met are quintessential hippies. I admit to being ignorant on Baha'i scripture so I will fess up to that. But even the overall concept is naive if you ask me.
Also I had no idea Baha'ism allows mulhid folks. This is very new to me I must say.
Well I am a very big fan of irfan and mysticism no doubt, ya got me there. I enjoy Sha'iyyah for some reason as it is so blasphemous compared to Sunniyyah. A much more profound doctrine that has given rise to some of the greatest bid'ah ever! I am making a blue turbah as we speak I may add . I do not believe in supernatural woo I would add and attribute mysticism to philosophical idealism in the ontological and epistemological sense. Mysticism is nothing but the acquisition of personal knowledge about oneself. It is exploring oneself which is why mystics have personalities who resemble their gods. Exploring god is circular because we as humans created god and all the variants.
I should have really said Enemy of Muhammadism. Seems more appropriate if you ask me. Also I do not see how this infringes upon my mysticism.
I am an atheist at the end of the day I just have a lot of religious sprinkles on top of my icing
