In case anyone cares the whirling dance is part of an entire ceremony,
as structured as any other religious ceremony. The tradition is that
the Whirling dance was first preformed spontaneously by the Sufi poet
Rumi, who was the best selling poet in the US for the last 10 years by
the way.

Some people meditate, some people take peyote or smoke ganga, some
people
spin around and around, some people speak in tongues.
I understand what it's about, I don't understand the attraction to
watching them spin.
cheers,
