Yes, you had mentioned that in one of your earlier posts – how interesting!

I have always been fascinated by Sufism, but all of a sudden Sufism became like an ‘alive thread’ since – thanks to hologram8’s signature, I looked into my deep ancestry from Caucasus and suddenly realized they had been/are Sufis. So there is a personal connection, although a faint one.

Sometimes one can “journey” along these threads and tap into the collective unconscious of them to get a proper ‘feel’ if these threads are not too old.
The dombra and the drum acting as a conduit to take you ‘there’. 'That' specific rhythmic pattern of them ….

Though my mind translates it as them having had a memorable non-dual moment together.
That dimensional moment of silence and stillness which is beyond both - thought and non-thought (as such).
Non-thought being a ‘conduit’ to it - to the 'shift'.
Just like sensuality can be a ‘conduit’ to a more ‘spiritually’ dimensional ‘feel’
