Here OP
I was a Muslim for several years. I started with three years in the Ashrafi school, then, over the last three years, I turned to Salafism, the most literalist branch of Islam. During this period, I had no interest in esotericism. I listened only to the scholars of Saudi Arabia, with all their well-known rigidity, a rigidity that, in my opinion, serves primarily to maintain a certain power.
Today, I no longer consider myself a Muslim. I feel closer to pantheism and esotericism. I have come to the conclusion that all the great religions contain fragments of truth. The truth, in my eyes, is an immense puzzle, scattered across the four corners of the world. Unfortunately, most believers follow their religion blindly, without seeking to see what lies beyond appearances.
For me, remaining confined exclusively to Islam, even in its esoteric dimension, is a dead end. We can't lie to ourselves: Muhammad is not, in my eyes, the most spiritually enlightened figure, especially when compared to other great mystical figures of humanity. There is profound and spiritual knowledge that can only be discovered by exploring other traditions.
Today, my worldview has changed. I no longer believe in a rigid religion, but in a living spirituality. I believe in reincarnation, in a universal truth, and in the personal quest for meaning, beyond dogma.
Thank you for reading.
