Writing Your Own Prophetic Prophectic Story - Buddhism vs. Abrahamic Religion

 I checked out some of Sidi's current students' videos and have to say that many of them are well-versed in Stories of the Prophets, Islamic protocols, etc.

I'd like to honor their sincerity, while at the same time noting a common theme that emerges and which goes back to Sidi.

I take note of the hopeful invocation of 'The Love of Allah', ie, a Love which (theoretically) ultimately makes up the entire Universe!

Namely, that there is a tendency to want to imitate the forebearers of the Religion and to imbibe the stories and try to live in an ancient world where Allah and His Angels seemingly lived and walked among us.

I am not sure the extent to which that relieves suffering for them, but in my own case, I feel the goal is not so much to inhabit a role inherited from books from the ancient past, but to use tools like meditation to encounter emptiness and the refreshing absence of a permanent self.

I noted, for example, one venerable Haji who recited stories of the Prophets AS IF the truth of those stories was actual.  Like, scientifically verifiable in the same way the Voyage of Columbus would be.  In the Past, yes, but ultimately true in this world. 

What is the difference, then, between a Muslim talking about Sarah at the Kaaba and a Jehovah's Witness talking about the Garden of Eden?

New Age American Truth-Seekers ultimately end up thinking the truth of Religion is blind obedience to the Stories in the Holy Book.
