Nice read. Albeit , I always thought malamatia
was about releasing trapped sparks in qlippa --- an oral
tradition that comes from Original Sufic Tree of Life ( that
has 6 spheres). And, Malamatis themselves trace their origin
from Ishab e Saffa. Linking them with Rasputin et al is
nothing but an erring slur.

Well, if there’s any Malamatis around here I’m sure they won’t mind - after all, their doctrine is based on the inviting of false accusations so they can bear them without response or justification......

Malamati
The Malamatiyya were an ascetic movement that originated in Khurasan in Nishapur in the late third/ninth century and whose origins are traditionally attributed to the teachings of Hamdun al-Kassar (d. 271/884-5) although several later Malamati figures were to claim that their practice derived from the Qur’an . The name of the tradition derives from the Arabic word for “blame” (malama) and signifies “the blameworthy” or “those that draw blame on themselves”.
