Are both of your parents Sufi? Did they convert or were they raised Sufi?

my Mum is from Yemen she is a very devout ṣūfī-Muslīmiah i fall in and out of favor with how strict some things can be but i always have her to lean on and show me. i grew up with it, going to Mosque, salaat, dhkir, Muraqaba, fasting during the prescribed times, whirling & chanting. and there were times that i practiced it full on even wearing hijab, and i found great happiness and calming peace within it. but it is easy to get lazy and fall out of it and sometimes things happen and i cant help but to feel scorn towards Allāh, but Allāh knows that we are only human, and to be human we will err. i know one day i will find myself strong enough to pick myself back up again. i know that when i have a child, i will definitely share ṣūfīsm and its traditions with my very own family

Thank you for sharing that. I find it interesting as I have no personal knowledge or expereince with islam and especially sufi. I wonder if we have anyone raised or practicing Sikhism here..?
I like to mix my views on "god" with all of the rituals,teachings traditions of the major religions. Mostly I just insert "universal energy" in place of "god" and they all seem to make much more sense to me.

anytime i was embarrassed to share that part of me here in the beginning but i have gotten over that. i was practically raised ṣūfī so if anyone has a question feel free to ask or . my Mum is Arab imigrant she is very religious. my father is white (french) born in the US he is not very religious at all. this caused a strange balance of religion in our family while i was growing up but he always supported my Mum 100% in all of her religious endevours so we pretty much did it her way

IMO the drive to separate the learnings of humanity into "religions" is a psychotic phenomenon. Why is it so hard for people to be so syncretistic?

I wouldnt call it a psychotic phenomenon. More so just a social phenomenon. I see it on the level of educational kids shows.
People have just forgotten how to separate the teachings from the story. People take life too seriously.

I would like to hear how he describes these things in relation to himself and his beliefs though.
