The quote by Rashid ad-Din Sinan, a Nizari chief, wrote, Were it not for our passionate attachment to material things, there would God and nothing but God..the author writes this means because of ignorance of our own true nature we do not see God but his caveat that it is not the same as being attached to material things that blinds is odd.

Campbell is not a good writer, that's a problem, a big problem in this book. He's long winded and where 1 would do he takes 10 == sort of like the Dickens of non-fiction. he claims he went to Alamut in 1966 but no proof. That's suspicious to me in book like this..........and so I plough on.
