"THE MEANING OF SUBUD" Talk I - THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS AND THE ACTION OF SUBUD (Continued)

"THE MEANING OF SUBUD" - I  THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS AND THE ACTION OF SUBUD... Continued today Thursday 9/9/10...


Eventually God Sent Another Revelation for human beings, to put right again the chaos prevailing in the world.  


This Revelation came to one called Jesus.  He Received the New Revelation from God that is contained in the scripture known as the Gospels.


Tradition associates Jesus with the color green.  The meaning of green is that his being was not influenced by the world, so he was in truth the Beloved of God. 


Green, as you may know, means a state of childlike innocence, still free from desire; in particular the desire for women, but also for the things of this world that human beings have come to desire. 


About Jesus we are told that besides being able to heal the sick and raise the dead, he could also walk on water; and that eventually he Was Willed by God to face death by crucifixion.


To heal the sick and to raise the dead means to rectify the faults and weaknesses within the Inner Feeling of people, and to awaken their human soul, which is still dead within them. 


This is essentially the same as that which you have Received in the Latihan of Susila Budhi Dharma or SUBUD. 


All the faults that you have suffered within your being - all kinds of sickness, whatever people call them - Are Being Repaired And Corrected. 


Your souls, which from birth to the present have been imprisoned by your desires, thoughts and will, Are Being Awakened.


Certainly you no longer find it strange that after a Latihan, you Experience A New Life within you, different from what was there before.  


This means that your soul, which for a long time has been imprisoned and totally enclosed by the pressure of the world, Is Awakening. 


So, as Bapak said earlier, SUBUD hardly differs from What Was Received by the Prophets.


As to the death by crucifixion:  this symbolizes that a Perfect Human Being Lives, as it were, between this world and the next. 


That's why tradition tells us that after he died Jesus Was The Same As He Was before he died.  


This shows that It Is Indeed God's Will that the human soul should be able to protect and pass on its individual understanding to all those who are still in coarse form. 


Thus Jesus, in his Life after death, lost nothing that had become a part of his individuality.  He could still See, Hear, Smell, Speak and Perceive; and everything that had been part of him was still there.


This agrees with our Experience in the Latihan in which all our organs and members Are Brought To Life, one by one, enabling our sight, our hearing and our other senses to remain intact even as we face death. 


This does not mean that we take our physical bodies with us when we die.  No.  


What we take with us, and what will become part of our individuality, will be not our eyes but our Power of Seeing; not our ears, but our Power of Hearing; not our mouth, but our Words; not our nose, but our Power of Smelling; not our blood, but our Feeling; not our brain, but our Understanding; not our heart, but the Power of Reflection and the Feeling of our heart. 


This is indeed what we want.  We pray to Almighty God that we may become the creature or human being it is God's Will that we become.


But as Bapak said, human beings still remain human beings.  


Despite having received advice and guidance so inspired and adaptable, their nature remains weak, being easily impressed by outward progress, and by the development and discoveries of their own mind. 


As a result, whether we like it or not, most people are carried away into the world of thought, where all possibility of finding an understanding of the true meaning of life is completely blocked.
