TL;DR: EricT (who sometimes writes under the nom de plumes Etienne de L'Amour and H. M. Forester) should have followed his heart and definitely not studied corporate administration at college.
EricT was interested in environmentalism, pacifism, vegetarianism, Buddhism, Zen, meditation and various esoteric traditions prior to his involvement in the Sufi Way. He has been studying the works of the thinker, writer and Sufi teacher Idries Shah since 1986. He is also interested in both traditional and contemporary Western depth psychology. More recent interests include philosopher Henry Corbin's mundus imaginalis (imaginal world) and Western esotericism.
Since around 1999 he has hosted and maintained online discussion groups, latterly The Caravanserai and the ishraqi institute, and hosts and maintains a writing-related web server at sherpoint.uk ("sherpoint" being an anagram of "the prison").
It saddens me that all-too-often, wonderful people are not found to be "wikiworthy" until obituaries are published in the press, and their notable – and often remarkable – qualities, not just their worldly attainments, are finally revealed to the public.

I felt this was a particularly gracious and polite way to bow out of an AfD discussion; would that all participants were so thoughtful. Yunshui 雲水 09:09, 21 September 2012 (UTC) |
