Pir Zia Inayat-Khan stated that a unique and compelling factor in contemporary mysticism is the current ecological crisis, which is a spiritual crisis as well as environmental, social, etc. Zia Inayat Khan (often referred to as Pir Zia) is the Pir or spiritual leader of the Sufi Order International, a Universalist Sufi order Therefore, a spiritual response is warranted, and much of Pir Zia’s teaching focuses on acknowledging the intelligence and sacredness of the natural environment, as well as achieving states of prayerful communion therewith. For example, in his The Holy Mysteries of the Five Elements Pir Zia draws from the purification practices of the Chishti tradition to emphasize how embodied spiritual practice brings one into direct contact with the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether), and in seminars offers practices the contemplation of the natural world. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Fire is the heat and light energy released during a Chemical reaction, in particular a combustion reaction. Temperature and layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude the mathematical relationship between temperature and altitude varies among five Ether is a class of Organic compounds which contain an ether group — an Oxygen Atom connected to two (substituted Alkyl

Relatedly, an aspect of Pir Zia’s teaching is the revitalization of Hermetic and ecological themes latent within the Chishti tradition. With Peter Lamborn Wilson, Pir Zia coined the term Green Hermeticism to refer to the ecologically-oriented revivification of Hermetic and alchemical wisdom in post-modernity. The Suluk Academy now offers a course on Green Hermeticism that includes the practical alchemical formulation of plant medicines (spagyry) in addition to the contemplative presentation of Hermetic and alchemical principles.
