“It is well known in physics that when one compresses the mass of an object its potential energy increases exponentially. Coal is an example of such compression; nuclear fission another. There are several techniques in Qabalah for 'compressing' a text of scripture to 'increase' its 'power.' A book called the Cifri Ali is said to one of the books used by the Bektashis. It is a book revealed to Ali ('Alaihi Assalam) and secretly handed down to his descendants. Learned Şehy's are supposed to have learned from it and therefore to be able to practice divination.” SufismDivinationQabalahBektashisCifri AliCompressingşEyh Book:The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis Source: The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
