It sounds like he's a Sufi and so are you. And I know the spelling doesn't match, but that doesn't matter.
Of the three main branches of islam, the Sufis are the only ones that GET IT (or at least come the closest). Unfortunately, they're also the smallest and least powerful branch, and they tend to suffer from both Shia and Sunni alike.
The reason for this, I think, is that Shiism and Sunniism were both born out of the political struggle for power between different factions within the faith immediately after the death of the prophet. As such, they are both tainted by politics and the struggle for power. The Sufis, meanwhile, stayed on the veranda and prayed, thereby retaining the truth of the faith, and avoiding the corruption of politics.
Of course, I may be wrong. I am not muslim (far from it) and mostly self taught on matters of islam.
