And if the Ancient Wisdom has truly survived the test of time and has successfully maintained a brotherhood of authentic descendants for 1000 years in one of the most politically tense areas of the world and throughout the most critical times of Middle East's religious history, it has done so, not in virtue of the Druze's historical identity, but through the ability of the Druze Mind to rise above the facade of man-made identities and trace the differences among those identities (including the religious one) into their ancient origins in the Behavioral Self of Man.

Believe then what you read in this testimony about Man's Truth or fiercely defy it. Do not assume the behavioral stance of a pragmatist (which when measured to the Truth-in-Finality amounts to a form or ignorance disguised by a mask of compassion). What you read in this page is not a nostalgic effort to revive the ancient gnostic spirit or to celebrate the rediscovery of the Qumran scriptures. This is the testimony of El-Mowahideen El-Druze - real people who have carried the Five-Colored Flag of the Ancient Wisdom on earth for 1000 years after they had carried it in their souls for thousands and thousands of years prior to that, and have sacrificed their blood, children and all their possessions in all their lives to preserve its doctrines, not through secret orders, mysterious rites, or hidden organizations, but through conscious actions.

Yes, the Spiritual Identity of the Druze has survived the test of time, not because of the mystery that shielded the Druze people as a historical sect, but because of real choices which El-Mowahideen El-Druze took on the level of Adamic thought and action - it has survived through their continuous investment in the Sacred Doctrines of the Ancient Wisdom, life after the other; and, thanks to a Divine Doctrine of Brotherhood and a Divine Law of Transmigration (Reincarnation), the Unity of their Spiritual Identity is unchallengeable. No religion or race, no history or geography, no nation or civilization, no government or law can ever stand in the way of the hidden path of the Soul as it shapes its destiny across time and throughout its countless reincarnations.

It may shake you to imagine that every human soul is as ancient as existence and that every human soul has experienced on earth incalculable lives and have clothed itself with thousands of man-made identities - millions of years worth of EVE-ENDS, all in the hope that one day the soul may recollect its sacred ADAMIC-BEGINNING. It may shake you to imagine that you may be a Christian fighting a war against Moslems in one life only to be born to a Moslem family in another - or a soldier killing your enemy (in the name of defending a nationality), while your pregnant wife back home is delivering birth to the very enemy that you have just killed - all in the service of a much higher identity and a much deeper Wisdom than what identites are designed to serve.

What this may imply on the level of Power & Politics on earth? To imagine the answer to this question can help you understand why traces of most doctrines of the Ancient Wisdom were repelled and removed from all the sacred texts, not only by the political but also by the religious. It may also help you to understand why so much controversy surrounds the Faith of the Druze of the Levant.

About this Page:

Druzenet is brought to you from Lebanon under the sponsorship of Mashiakhat El-Akel, the highest Druze Spiritual Reference in the Middle East and world wide.

A Word of Thanks:

Special thanks to Samahat El-Sheikh Bahjat Ghaith (Sheikh Akel El-Mowahideen El-Druze) for dedicating all his Mental and Material assets for the Message of Tawhid - an expedition that started early in his life (prior to being appointed as Sheikh El-Akel), and throughout the years, it grew to surpass all numbers and expectations. In the hope that one day this message will support itself by itself and reflect its blessings upon El-Mowahideen (Spirit & Body - Theory & Practice), everywhere and whichever country they belong to or language they speak.

Deep gratitude to His Imminence for taking up the Message of Adam and sponsoring this page which enthroned his long undertaking to spread Authentic Consciousness and Tawhidic Awareness, despite all the obstacles and difficulties that stood in his way; and blessed is the experience that guided this undertaking, because it revealed the character of a True Mowahid in this day and age, and rose in the language of expressing the Essence of Spirituality and its close link to what is happening on the Ground of Reality above religious, spiritual or Sufi appearances and beyond the Deceptive Modesty which conceals a spirit of egoism - rose into the simplicity expressive of the Adamic Truth: the pivot at which the Greatness of the Heavens converge with the Earthliness of this World.
