The Sufi Path is a process of amanesis (remembrance, realization). In pre-eternity, God asked the spirits: Alastu bi Rabikum (Am I not your Lord)? When we come into this material existence, we forget about pre-eternity and the task of life is to remember our way back to the truth concerning the nature of our essential relationship with God. This process of remembering or recollecting is known as amanesis.

New eBook at Mobipocket - Phenomenology of Charisma
The Phenomenology of Charisma is a critical overview of a book by Len Oakes, an Australian, who wrote Prophetic Charisma: The Psychology of Revolutionary Personalities. The present work addresses a number of problems inherent in Prophetic Charisma involving not only issues of psychology and sociology but, as well, various themes entailing spirituality. This edition of Phenomenology of Charisma is comparable to about 55-60 pages in a normal-sized book.
Dr. Whitehouse graduated with honors from Harvard University and received a doctorate in education from the University of Toronto. He is the author of over nine books, including: The Chaco Canyon Tapes, Streams to the Ocean, The Essence of September 11th, Sam Harris and the End of Reason: A Muslim's Critical Response, and The Sufi Lighthouse.
