In the Name of the Godhead the Glorified, the Holy!
Praised be the Godhead who from praeternity upraised the firmaments of
existence from the illuminative horizons of transcendental resplendence
upon the watery expanses of being and self-disclosed the theophany of
Its mercy to the empyrean realms of beautific magnificence clothed with
the garment of compassion with the two letters, ha & waw, which
flowered forth the name Fatima, the Creatrix. Glory be upon the
celestial Fatima, the Mother of the Kosmos and the Womb of Contingency,
She who is both the conjunction as well as the progenitor of the twin
divine lights and all creation. Blessed be Fatima the Kosmocrator, the
Logos-Self and Face of divinity, the origin and the return.
The Fátimíya Súfí Order
The Fátimíya Súfí Order is an Ayahuasca based post-Islamic
universalist and syncretic initiatic mystery school that weds the
central currents of High Islamicate gnosis, Hermeticism, Kabbalah,
Oriental theosophy, Shamanism and Neo-Paganism within the central
experiential grounding of the divine sacrament of Ayahuasca. Unlike
most traditional Súfí orders which are directed by a physical, living
human master (or guru), in the Fátimíya Súfí Order the pír and
murshid (spiritual director), qutb (pole), walí (providential guide)
and Imám is held to be the Divine Consciousness of Ayahuasca Itself.
This animating Feminine Divine Consciousness is considered by us to be
the celestial Imám of the Age Fátima. She is the Theophany as
Angelophany of the Sophia Aeternae (i.e. Shekina/Sakina) - i.e. that
Divine Being whose historical and terrestial apparition (mazhar)
manifested in the form of the daughter of the Prophet of Islam Fátima
Zahrá (d. 632), viz. Fátima Zahrá (the radiant) who in esoteric
Shi'ite gnosis stands as the conjunction of the two lights (majma'
al-nurayn) of prophecy (nubuwwa) and providential guidance (wiláya).
Being gnostic docetists and Platonic Illuminationists, it is, however,
the principle celestial Fátima - the primordial divine prototype of
the terrestrial - we venerate. She appears to us in the Ayahuasca
state as an Angelic Theophany and we hold Her to be the same as the
Chief Archangel Metatron (malak al-nún), the First Intellect ('aql
awwal) and Primal Pen (qalam a'lá), thus Creatrix and Kosmocrator
(i.e. fátimá fátir). Neo-Pagans and Wicca refer to Her as the
Goddess; Gnosticism as the Sophia; the Kabbalah as the Shekinah;
Zoroastrians as the Archangel Daena; Tantric Shaivism as Sakti;
traditional Amerindian ayahuasqueros as the Pachamama; Santo Daime as
Juramidam; others with other names; we refer to Her as Fátima. From
this theosophia the Order maintains its own creedal shaháda
(testimonial), which is, "There is no god but the Godhead. Fátima is
the Face of the Godhead (lá iláha illá alláh fátima wajh alláh).
"
Therefore ours is the Way into the mysteries of the celestial Fátima
beyond the empty shell and prison of shari'a (the exoteric religious
law), ideology or pietistic dogma ('aqída.) We are Súfí oriented
esotericists and gnostics transformed by the baraka (blessing, grace)
of Ayahuasca, which we believe to be none other than the Soma of the Rg
Vedas and the Haoma of the ancient Mazdaean religion of Iran. While we
do not shun ritual as such, our qalandarí (antinomian) path is the
Path (taríqat) of pure esotericism ('irfán) seeking pure gnostic
realization (haqíqat) and vision (ruyá) of the interior realities
(bátin) through the marriage of Ayahuasca with dhikr (mantra). Just as
the Bektáshí Súfí Order of Turkey utilize wine to attain altered
states of noetic realization and enlightenment, the Fátimíya utilize
Ayahuasca to the same end.
Given this, the Fátimíya Súfí Order is in no way, shape or manner
an Islamic sect. While we deeply cherish the beautifully sonorous
rhapsodies contained in the Arabic of the Qur'án and Islamic
mystical and Súfí oriented devotional texts, we neither hold to the
dogma of the finality of the Islamic revelation, the illimitability of
any single sacred text or the exclusive sanctity of any single
historical personality. Rather we are a post-Islamic expression of an
intrinsically universal Indo-Iranian phenomenon of gnosis - with
roots in Mazdaeanism, Ismá'ílism, Illuminationist Platonism,
Shaivite Tantrism, Tibetan Buddhism and the Sufism of Ibn 'Arabí (d.
1240) -, but transformed within the matrix of a universalist esoteric
based shamanic Ayahuasca spirituality. We believe Ayahuasca opens the
celestial doorways to what, in his writings, Henry Corbin (d. 1978)
delineated as the Imaginal World (mundus imaginalis, 'alam
al-mithál), i.e. the spiritual world of the eighth clime or hurqalyá,
where bodies are spiritualized and spirits corporealized: the world
where our master and Imám Fátima is theophanically situated and to
which we seek to spiritually orient ourselves in order to break through
the cosmic crypt of illusion, undergo the alchemical process of
angelomorphosis by uniting with our own heavenly celestial
prototype-twin (syzygy) and so thus return to our original nature as
homo angelicus. We are in essence disciples of Khidr (the green one),
who is the Hidden Imám, and whom we hold to be one of the countless
epiphanic manifestations of the celestial Fátima.
Flowing from such hyper-radical post-Islamic esoteric formulations, the
Fátimíya Súfí Order also maintains the Alamútí doctrine of the
Imám-of-ones-being (i.e. the messianic secret) - albeit augmented
beyond its originary Ismá'ílí considerations - and as such invites
its initiates to explore the multifaceted reality of this Truth through
their meditations and personal lives, but, above all, within the
sacrament - that is the Celestial Wine (mey) - of Ayahuasca.
As the formal constitution of our Order is relatively recent, and until
such time as we decide to put up a website, this blog will function as
our point of contact with the outside world.
