The rediscovery of this almost forgotten book in which the author,
the Danish publicist and anthroposophist Carl Vett, is telling of a
forgotten time is a lucky coincidence. "In 1925 I was in
Constantinople, and was, so it was generally said, the first
non-Mohammedan to be allowed to live for a time as a dervish in a
Sufi monastery . Many years of study had made me familiar with the
phenomena of psychic research, and I wanted to observe at first
hand the ecstatic states attained by the dervishes in their way of
initiation - for the dervish orders of Islam are schools of
initiation. Before and during my stay with the dervishes I kept a
diary. It was not intended for special publication, but in view of
the execution of twenty-nine men, most of whom were sheiks or
members of the Naqshbandi order . it has seemed that these
experiences might be of more general interest; and so I have
decided to offer them to the public."(From the author's foreword)
Even now, more than 70 years after its initial publication, this
book is a valuable read for anybody interested in the Islamic
aspect of the mystical heritage of mankind.
