** Effective 1 September 2005 -- CHANGE in the Esoteric Studies Program, see below **

The pure truth not every man can see; if he can,
he needs no more teaching.

Beloveds of the One,

At Murshid Wali Ali's request, the Esoteric Studies Program which he created in 2003 (formerly known as WAES -- Wali Ali Esoteric Studies) has been transferred to the Ruhaniat (Sufi Ruhaniat International), to become an additional component of our existing body of Esoteric Papers and other Study Materials.

Administration of the program, and distribution of the course materials he developed, has been transferred from my office in Santa Rosa, California to the Ruhaniat Secretariat, in Eugene, Oregon, USA, where it will be under the able direction of Amrita Blaine.

Amrita Blaine is now the contact person for all questions regarding beginning, continuing, or resuming, a course of study; ordering or downloading materials; or any other administrative or distribution details. I will act as a technical resource for Amrita, as needed, but won't have any further responsibility for overseeing the administrative and distribution side of the program, as I have done for the past 3 years. In releasing this concentration, I can devote the time and effort spent on it to my own increasingly developing role in teaching, and mentoring dance leaders, around the world. Al-hamdu-Lillah!

As before, please direct all questions or concerns regarding the course content — reading selections, assignments, spiritual practices, and other exercises, and your experiences with them — FIRST to your initiator/guide, and then to Murshid Wali Ali.

Payment for course tuitions, and hard copy materials, will now be made to SRI (Sufi Ruhaniat International) instead of to WAES or to Wali Ali personally, as happened in the past. He is releasing the program as an income stream for himself and his work, and wants all future income from it to go to the Ruhaniat.

Finally, I'd like to express my gratitude for the support and cooperation I've received from everyone connected with the program. It's been a pleasure and an honor to be able to serve in this fashion.

All Light and Love,

Muiz Brinkerhoff
