Abdullah Dougan
He Knows - He Knows - He Knows


Abdullah Dougan - Gnostic Sage - was born in 1918 in NZ. He was a man of good heart and deep spiritual attainment. Though drawing on many traditions of self-development, his base was that of the Gnostic lineage. While his early teaching relied more on the methods of Gurdjieff, he later taught more of the Naqshbandi Sufi methods. The Sufi tradition traces itself back through the Greek Gnostics to the Egyptians, then to Abraham and before that to Zoroaster. As a trained hypnotherapist Abdullah advised the use of self-suggestion and self-hypnosis, in the initial stages of dealing with gross negative attitudes and negative emotions. I first met him in 1974, as he was about to embark on a 40 day fast on water only, while travelling through the Middle East - this being the final shock necessary to complete his internal shift from Human#4 to Human#5. His main teacher at that time was
Shaikh Abdul al Khyum of Kandahar, Afghanistan
(b. 1900 — d. 1976).
Abdullah wrote several books including one detailing his experiences while on the 40 day fast. On meeting him we recognised a long past connection and he became my spiritual guide until his death in 1987 at the age of 69. Beyond the body, his spiritual influence remains undiminished and all who come in contact openly with myself receive his help on the world wide way.

Naqshibandi Sufis. The word Naqshbandi is Persian, taken from the name of the founder of the order, Baha-ud-Din Naqshband. There is no single authority for the Naqshbandi order today. Rather, there are numerous sub-orders which operate in autonomy and which freely alter the ways to suit the society in which they operate ...more

Abdullah Answers. One day each week for 5 years I helped Abdullah in his pottery which gave a good opportunity to discuss at length the deeper aspects of his teaching. Following is a selection of the information he gave out in response to my questions. If he was unsure of an answer he would seek help at that moment from those beyond him. Sometimes he asked me not to repeat what I heard and occasionally he noted that the information he received was not allowed into the physical world at this time. On a single occasion he was informed that a human brain was incapable of understanding the answer. As the subjects often border on the extreme realms of human knowledge and belief, I, with a clear understanding of the nature of those firmly embedded in their bodies, hesitate, but proceed to present them here ...more
