Title: Regarding the "Sufi" material...
Review: 786Confessions of a former PLW/Hakim Bey fanantic:Interesting to see that this item was composed for presentation to the Ibn Arabi Society; it has nothing to do with Hazrat Ibn Arabi, nothing to do with Sufism in any substantial manner, nothing to do with Owaysiyyah, ect. Herein is contained pages of only PLW/Hakim Bey's philosophical whims and fancies, with no relation to the pursuit of real understanding the profound matter at hand. We appreciate PLW's razor-sharp intellect and wonderful ranting style, but he is describing the items of Sufism from the outside only; he does not enter within. PLW/Hakim Bey's works should not be recommended to anyone seriously interested in the Sufi Path and/or Islam, as PLW is not even interested in sincerely elucidating their traditional approach to the subject.
