Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Continued... with Part XVIII ... Monday 1/24/11...

Always ask Permission... of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD when you wish to have intercourse with each other... so that the union is Sanctioned by HIM... 


And during the holy act of intimacy... which became holy... for the first time... with Mohammed and his wife Fatima... remain at all times... in a state of sincere surrender... to THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... so that you will be protected... from the lower forces of animal passion...  


There is nothing... to compare... to "Spiritual Ecstasy..."!


We should not mistakenly believe... that people outside SUBUD... are better than SUBUD people - who knows what ugly traits of character... will be revealed... once they have been Inwardly Gloriously "Opened..." ... and "Awakened..." ... and are undergoing necessary... painful Purification... when the worst in them "must out"... and they appear to be not very nice people for a while...


We should not denigrate the Miracle Of The Grace Of SUBUD - SUSILA BUDHI DHARMA - in such a demeaning manner...


There are very few saintly people living on earth..., who do not need to be purified... of their own... 6 %... and their ancestors'...  94 %... sins... and Spiritual dirt...


Did not our beloved BAPAK... tell us... that at least a third of mankind... needed the Latihan Kejiwaan... in order to change.. and reverse the sad... chaotic situation... in this world...?!


The day must come... when we can say to each other...:  


"I hate your nafsu... but I love your Jiwa (Inner)"! ... 


and no feelings will be hurt... 


It is important not to pay too much attention... to one's own nafsu... or each other's nafsu... but pay much attention to one's own Jiwa... and each other's Jiwa...


As Muftiah realized many years ago:   


"It always gets worse... before it gets worse..." 


As soon as we are finished with one phase... of our necessary Purification... after a short respite... there will inevitably be another...!


We must accept... and love ourselves... warts and all... as ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD'S dearly Loved sons and daughters... even at our worst... 


We must have an Inner Awareness... that if we continue to submit all of ourselves... surrendering 100%... to The Loving Power Of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... with a feeling of patience... and sincerity... Then We Will Be Rewarded...


All Of Our Bad Character Traits... Will Become Purified... Eventually... And We Will Ultimately Become... The Noble Human Beings... Of Excellent Character... That ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Intends For Us To Become...


We must remember... that the more we give of ourselves... to our CREATOR... the more HE Will Give Back to us... and the less we give of ourselves to HIM... the less HE Will Give Back...


First... there must be a willingness... to commit one's whole self to ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... without reservations... of any kind... with a sincere feeling of...:  


"Here I am... in all of my impurity - Do With Me What You Will..."... 


And then truly accept... with one's whole being... whatever ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD Wills for us... especially suffering - Divine Grace Does Not Come Automatically... We Have To Earn It...


If it was THE WILL Of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... that we were to live our lives... as single people... or husbands... or wives... and/or parents... and did not seek GOD's Help... asking daily for Inner Guidance... 


How to be the best single bachelor... or spinster... the best husband... the best wife... father... and mother... that we could possibly be... according to HIS WILL... then we have failed GOD... and should bow our heads in shame... begging ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD's Forgiveness...


And woe to BAPAK's SUBUD children... when it is the time for them to leave earth... and be judged... according to their deeds... Our beloved BAPAK has told us that... unlike BAPAK... the Angels of God... who are watching over us right now... here on earth... will hit us...! ... if we have not been obedient... to ALMIGHTY GOD'S WILL... as BAPAK's SUBUD children... and especially... as BAPAK's appointed Helpers...


Recently... Muftiah had an Angel Dream... in which she was Told... that those appointed by BAPAK Helpers... throughout the SUBUD World... who did not do their duties... as outlined by BAPAK... then their punishment would be harsh...


They would have to return to earth... and be forced to live... in environments... that were very noisy... and they would suffer greatly... because they would be reborn... endowed with natures... that were happiest... when it was peaceful around them...


And when Mutiah asked... whether she was one of them... she was Told... "Oh no... not you...!"  ... which made her Jiwa Soar with Joy...


She was Told many other things... that were only for her Jiwa to hear... so that when she awoke... all she Was Allowed to remember... was what she has written here...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XIX ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Thursday 1/27/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Continued... with Part XVII ... Thursday 1/20/11...

Muftiah has been told... that she is "respected and loved"...  by her many SUBUD Brothers and Sisters ...  


If this is indeed so... then perhaps her sincerity... in this Open Letter... to all her dearly Jiwa loved... SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... throughout the vast SUBUD world... will be believed - Insha ALLAH (GOD Willing)... 


From Johannesburg... where she was Gloriously... Inwardly "Opened..." ... and "Awakened.." ... in 1961... the port city of Durban... and Pretoria... in South Africa...  to many parts of the United States of America... such as Miami Florida... and San Francisco... Santa Cruz and Marin... in California... and Seattle Washington... to Vancouver Canada... 


Then there are all the personally unknown to her... SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... in other parts of the SUBUD World... (although Muftiah feels she knows... many dear SUBUD Sisters... Inwardly... because for many years... she has periodically Been Sent... all over the SUBUD World... to Latihan Kejiwaan... with them... in her Special Sleep State...!)


Now her fervent prayer... is that all her many... preciously cherished... SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... throughout the SUBUD World... whom she loves deeply and sincerely... and with compassionate understanding... in her Jiwa... will join her... in submitting all of themselves... to their LOVING CREATOR... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... with Feelings of patience... and sincerity - the SUBUD WAY - every single day... of their lives... 


So that the Miraculous Grace... Of The Latihan Kejiwaan... which enables us... the Dearly Loved... sons and daughters... of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... to become noble men and women... of excellent character... According to His Perfect Will... Shall Not Be Removed... And Taken Away From Us...


Because without the Miraculous Grace... Of The Latihan Kejiwaan... we will all become doomed souls... and sink back into eternal darkness... once again...


For There Truly Cannot Be Anybody... Or Anything... Whatsoever... Beyond... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Blessing Us Exceedingly... By Giving Those Of Us Souls... Deemed Worthy... In His Eyes... The Divine Contact... With His Own... Great Holy Life Force... 


So That We Find Ourselves... In The Most Intimate... One-On-One... Perfect Inner Communication... With Him... And His Power... Which Guides... And Directs... The Moments Of Our Lives... So Perfectly...In All We Do... And In All We Say...


And the result... is a wonderful SUBUD Life... of Inner Peace... Grace... and Harmony... with all those around us...


Just like we used to enjoy... when we were first Created by Him...  


That is why... the gentle Vibration... of His Great Holy Life Force... which we Feel... inside our beings... seems so familiar... and not strange... at all...


Some time after we were first CREATED... by ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... we discovered... that we had minds of our own... that could think... and hearts... that could feel emotions... 


And alas... came to prefer following... the Lower Forces... of their impure influences... and dictates... instead of the Perfect Guidance... and Direction... of the Higher Force... Coming from our Loving CREATOR... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... 


Thus in thinking wrong thoughts... and feeling wrong emotions... we caused ourselves unhappiness... and misery... and in losing Contact... with our CREATOR... and His Great Holy Life Force... what ensued... eventually... was the Great Fall Of Man...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XVIII  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... on Monday 1/24/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Continued... with Part XVI ... Monday 1/17/11...

Whenever a wife comes to the Helpers... unhappy in her marriage... they should not blithely advise her to "stick it out"... and only Test... how she should be towards her husband... 


They should look mainly... to how sincere... and submissive... her husband is... in his Worship of THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... for it is the husband's GOD-Willed duty... to make his wife happy... through his Inner Guidance... giving her not what she wants... from her heart... but what she truly needs... in order to help her become the noble woman... GOD Intends her to be...


It is only by the example of the husband's depth of sincere... patient... submissive surrender... to his CREATOR... always Allowing HIM to Guide the marriage... in HIS Infinite Wisdom... that his wife will grow Spiritually... and by the same token... so will he...


It is truly the only real reason... for her to stay married to him...  


As BAPAK has told us... only Jiwa to Jiwa marriages... will survive and last... with mutual Spiritual Growth and Development... - all other types of unions... such as based on sexual... or mental compatibility... are doomed to failure... eventually...


Perhaps that is why... this soul... as Grazia... Was Commanded by her HEAVENLY fATHER... to divorce her alcoholic husband... after only three years... because when he Received... in his Latihan... one night... that He Would No Longer Have A Desire For Alcohol...  rather than give up alcohol... which he was addicted to... ever since he was seventeen... he gave up SUBUD... and the Latihan instead...! 


(In copying this Open Letter.. today... January 17th 2011...Muftiah is being Guided to share soon... on her MUFTIAH blog... via Link : 


msubud.blogspot.com  


her awesome... Spiritual Experience... when... after her husband... Rene... died of hepatitis... a year after she divorced him... at the young age of 47... about five years later... she was Taken to Heaven... Given a Document of Release for him... and Flew down to Hell... to rescue him...!)


It is far better to seek Help... from The Highest Source... than going to an "unpurified" psychiatrist... psycho-analyst... or marriage counselor... who can only give advice from his/her "impure" heart... and cleverness of their minds... because... in all probability... their Inner Selves... are dormant... 


BAPAK's Helpers should encourage the Members... whose Kejiwaan they are responsible for... not to depend too much on them - remind them... that they have the same wavelength... to their HEAVENLY FATHER... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... as you have... 


It is wisest... to gently urge them... to seek their own Inner Guidance... more than relying on you... to do it for them... 


Thus BAPAK's Helpers... will be helping the Members... to have a closer relationship... with their CREATOR... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... than with their Helpers... and it will also help prevent Helpers... from feeling... and becoming Spiritually superior... and arrogant...


Whenever a person interested to know about SUBUD... is invited y the Helpers... to meet with them... in order to be the best representatives of BAPAK... in helping him to fulfill his Holy Mission on earth...which is to awaken the Jiwa (Inner self) of mankind... here on earth... they should take their duty very seriously... in explaining the Aims & Purposes of SUBUD... and refrain from chatting aimlessly...


Helpers will leave a far more lasting impression... if they are prepared beforehand... sitting in a quiet state... remaining close to their Jiwa... open... empty... and still... in order to Receive what to say to the party... according to the individual's particular nature... character... and personality...


For instance... if the person has an emotional nature... character... and personality... then the Helpers will be able to Receive... the right thing to say... to satisfy his/her heart...  


Likewise... if the person is intellectually inclined... then the Helpers will be able to Receive... the right thing to say... to satisfy his/her mind.... 


And if... Praise ALLAH... the person is Spiritual by nature... character... and personality... then the Helpers will be able to Receive... the right thing to say... to satisfy his/her Spirit... 


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XVII  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Thursday 1/20/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Part XV ... Continued Thursday 1/13/11...

We should not be so quick to quote BAPAK... in order to be believed... when we are in the presence of other SUBUD Helpers or Members... 


But always staying close to our Jiwas... surrender... and Receive whatever there is to say... if anything... from THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... instead of glibly citing something BAPAK was heard to say... or read that he said... to convey to somebody else... automatically thinking it must fit the present situation...  


That is the lazy nafsu practice of a person... who relies more on his/her own heart and mind... than on his/her Jiwa... thereby sadly neglecting putting into practice... whatever Inner Guidance... May Come into his/her Jiwa... from THE POWER OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD...


BAPAK... in his wisdom... has told us many times... not to blindly believe what he says... simply because he says it... but to Receive the Confirmation... of his words... within our Jiwa (inner selves) first... 


It is always a very good practice... before automatically believing him...!


Our beloved BAPAK has told us many times... also... that when we go to the place... where we surrender ourselves... to ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in the Latihan Kejiwaan... it is a Precious Time of Grace for us... 


When... during our state of unconditional surrender... unconditonal meaning... that we neither pray for... nor ask for... nor hope for anything... in particular... for ourselves... except that the Perfect Will of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Be Done unto us...THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Can Cleanse the impurities... from our bodies... and selves...


THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Can Also... Move Our Limbs... Making Us Walk... Run... Jump... Dance... etc... As Well As Activating Our Voices... In Speech And In Song... So That... When Our CREATOR... Calls Us Back To Him... And We Leave Earth... We Will Be Able To Move Our Spiritually Awakened and Alive... Limbs... Will Be Able To Walk... Run... Jump... Dance... etc... Talk And Sing...


But if those of us who like to pray... go to Latihan Kejiwaan... with the intention to pray... as we do in church... following the various religions we practice - whether as Muslims... Christians... or Jews etc... -  in order to "remember" ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... thereby satisfying our hearts and minds... instead of submitting all of our beings... in sincere surrender... to THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... we will... in fact... not be using the Precious Time of Grace... as we are supposed to...


It is perfectly all right... of course... to pray at the outset of our Latihan Kejiwaan... in order to help us to surrender ourselves better... and by the same token... it is perfectly all right... if we happen to Receive prayers... while we are sincerely surrendered... to ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in the Latihan Kejiwaan...


But by intentionally praying... throughout our Latihan Kejiwaan... instead of sincerely submitting ourselves... in patient surrender... so that ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... May Work HIS Will In... And Upon Us... we will not gain any Spiritual Benefit... whatsoever...


Because If we do spend that Precious Time of Grace... praying to HIM... we could also possibly be blocking... and missing... some Special Divine Grace... Intended for some Special... Worthy in the Eyes of GOD Soul... From Coming Through... because... alas... we were willfully occupying ourselves praying... instead of surrendering ourselves sincerely... and unconditionally...  to THE POWER... AND THE PERFECT WILL... OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD...!


Muftiah keeps reminding herself... as she sincerely surrenders herself... TO THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in her Latihan Kejiwaan... how extremely important the Latihan Kejiwaan of SUBUD is... remembering the time BAPAK said... THAT ONE SINGLE HALF HOUR... OF ONE'S LATIHAN KEJIWAAN... COULD BE THE PURIFICATION... OF SINS... OF THE EQUIVALENT... OF NINE REINCARNATED LIFETIMES..!!!


We must remember... that we can never run away... from ourselves... and should have the courage... to face everything... that is inside us... good and bad... honestly and fearlessly... 


And whatever we do... we must NEVER FAKE OUR INDIVIDUAL LATIHAN KEJIWAAN  - we will only fool ourselves - we cannot ever fool... THE ONE WHO CREATED... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US SOULS... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... or whatever other Holy Name... you may call HIM...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XVI  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Monday 1/17/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Part XIV ... Continued Monday 1/10/11...

If SUBUD Members feel... that their Latihan Kejiwaan is in a "rut"... from Worshipping ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... year in... year out... with the same SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... then it might behoove them... to experience Worshipping ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in other SUBUD Groups and/or Centers... with different SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... so that their Latihan Kejiwaan... may get a necessary "Spiritual Boost"...


Muftiah remembers well the time... when SUBUD Brother Mas Prio Hartono... came to the Bay Area... for a visit...  and his delighted comment... on how fortunate we were... in having so many Groups... within mere miles of each other... 


Emphasizing how... if we made it a practice... to circulate around the different Groups and Centers... Worshipping ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in the Latihan Kejiwaan... with different SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... what a true opportunity there would be... for our Jiwas to grow Strong... Deep... and Wide... quicker than by Worshipping ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... in the Latihan Kejiwaan... with the same SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... in just one Group or Center...!


Whenever a SUBUD Member comes to the Helpers for Testing... after a Group Latihan Kejiwaan... the Helpers should always remain in their state of Latihan Kejiwaan... if possible... refraining from becoming busy... in the heart and mind... talking about the Member's problems too much... 


Helpers should remain Open... and Empty... and Still... in order to be able to Receive... what would be most important... for the Member... to know about themselves also... so that they may perhaps be reminded... to submit themselves to ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD...in patient... sincere surrender... more than they have been...


Whenever this soul... as Grazia... or Laura... or Muftiah... was present... for some Testing... whether for a Member... or General Testing for the Group... she could never stop her Latihan Kejiwaan... but Was Always Made to remain... in a Surrendered State... 


And no matter what the Member wanted Tested... she always Received... Speaking Out Loud... In A Commanding Voice...:  


"Deeper Surrender Necessary...!" ... hardly ever... anything else...!


And even when she Was periodically Sent to different Groups... and Centers... in different countries... in her Sleep State... to Latihan Kejiwaan... with stranger Sisters... she would always Receive... the same three Words...!


It is far more important... that a SUBUD Member realizes this importance... for himself/herself... than... for instance... doing "Talent Testing"... because he/she is anxious... to satisfy his/her heart and mind...!  


SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... who are not in the practice of staying close to their Jiwas... sincerely submitting themselves... in patient surrender... to their CREATOR... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... throughout the hours... of their daily lives... are not yet ready... to pursue their real talent... in accordance with their Inner nature... but should be content to work happily... and with satisfaction... at what they really and truly understand how to do... and not be in haste... to follow their "true talent"...


During Testing sessions... we should never automatically think... that anything can be Tested... for anyone... at any time...


We should always ask Permission... of ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD first... making sure beforehand... that the petitioner promises sincerely... to follow whatever Inner Guidance is Received... for them... for Testing should never be regarded... as a way of seeking... what the future holds... like a fortune teller...


Then during Testing... we should all remain Open and Empty and Still... completely unprejudiced... and without opinions... of any kind... and without any desires... of any kind... 


We should also not be ashamed... or shy... to admit to ourselves... that we are not... in fact... able to "Receive clearly"... yet...  


We should not lie to ourselves.. and/or to others... that we are able to "Receive clearly"... standing in front of the trusting Member... acting very wise... and holy... liking to appear intelligent... using our imagination... to make the Receiving fit - we only stupidly fool ourselves... and sadly... retard our own Kejiwaan (Human Spiritual) Growth and Development...


We should not try to make sense of the "Receiving"... with our minds... wanting to understand the meaning - it is enough that our and the Member's Jiwa... will always understand perfectly... what is Received in Testing... in its true context...


The petitioner's situation... will change for the better... because he/she... sincerely sought the Perfect Will of GOD... instead of following the dictates... and influence... of his/her own heart and mind - Insha ALLAH - knowing that... as we practice being SUBUD... 24 hours a day... in time... we will be able to "Receive clearly"... every time...


When Helpers stay close to their Jiwa at all times... they will be able to know... the true state... of their SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... i.e. if some Member is telling them the truth of a situation or not... for they will be Open and Empty and Still... to be able to Receive... the "Confirmation"... of the truth... or untruth... within their own Jiwa... so that they can be of better assistance for the Member...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XV  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Thursday 1/13/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Part XIII ... Continued Thursday 1/3/11...)

As BAPAK's appointed Helpers... we should try to always prepare ourselves throughout the day... asking for Inner Guidance... for that night or day... before we come into the presence of our SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... to seriously... but lightly... fulfill our duties and obligations... to their Kejiwaan... 


Staying close to our Jiwa at all times... constantly reminding ourselves... as well as our fellow SUBUD Members... of the Aims and Purposes of SUBUD... 


Trying our best... to remain open... empty... and still... in order to possibly Receive some Inner Guidance... that some individual may happen to need... so that our Jiwa-Guided actions... will bear good Spiritual fruit... throughout our SUBUD membership...


BAPAK's Helpers should set the proper example... to always be the first to arrive... and the last to leave... at the place of worshipping our Creator... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... or whatever other Holy Name... some of you... might call HIM... where we sit quietly and patiently surrendered... with our eyes closed... shutting out all awareness of the outside world... as the SUBUD Members come in... following their good example...


Then Receiving when to commence the Latihan Kejiwaan... in accordance with the necessary time needed... until all the SUBUD Members are sitting quietly... having shut out all awareness of the outside world also - the feeling in each SUBUD Member should be... that they could stay patiently sitting there... for all Eternity...!


For Muftiah... the Divine Guidance... as BAPAK's Helper.. Given to her... as a Perfect Indication... of when to start the Latihan Kejiwaan... was always in the Divine Form... of her hands... Being Made To Swell Up... and the Swelling Going Down... as she stood up... and Was Guided... by the POWER OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... to quietly Walk... to the center of the room... and still with her eyes closed... Receiving to say...: 


"Let the Latihan... Kejiwaan... Begin..."


As we begin to submit the whole of ourselves to our CREATOR... in unconditional surrender... to HIM... we should always remember... that unconditional surrender means... that we will neither pray for... nor ask for... nor hope for... anything in particular for ourselves... 


But only... that ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Grants His Perfect Will unto us... HIS Created children... Giving each individual one of us... what each needs... and when... for HE Knows each and every one of us... far better than we know ourselves... and Knows exactly... what each one of us needs... and when... 


And while we are sincerely... and patiently... surrendered to HIM... never ever... resist... whatever HE Causes... to Arise in us... whether in bodily Movements... or Voice... or both...


For HE Is Bringing to Wonderful Spiritual Life... the counterpart of our physical beings... in preparation for our Glorious... Eternal Afterlives... so that we will be able to Move our Spiritually Awakened.. and Activated bodies... our arms... and legs... and use our voices... in speech...and song... there in the Paradise of SUBUD Heaven...


At the same time... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD Could possibly Be Cleansing us... of sins... and dirt... not only six per cent of our own... but ninety-four per cent... of our ancestors... which we have inherited... and have been carrying inside ourselves... like a heavy burden... for centuries... incarnation after incarnation...!


That is why... there are times... when we feel so Wonderfully Light... after a particular Latihan Kejiwaan...


Muftiah recalls Beloved BAPAK saying that... should we resist... whatever GOD Causes... to Arise in us... we could possibly be resisting the Purification... of nine lifetimes of sins... during that half hour... of our Latihan Kejiwaan...!


SUBUD Helpers and Members alike... should never be in a hurry to have the Latihan Kejiwaan over and done with... as soon as possible - haste belongs to the realm of the nafsu... and has no place at the times of Worship... nor in our daily lives - the tempo and rhythm of the Jiwa... ever aware of Eternity... is more slow than fast...


Too often... the Latihan Kejiwaan is begun too early... before every Brother or Sister in the room... is truly as quiet as they can be... so that the opportunity... for the full benefit of a Group Latihan Kejiwaan... Received by everybody... in the quietest state possible... is sadly missed - very often... the time to really start the Latihan Kejiwaan... is after everybody thinks... that their Latihan Kejiwaan has ended...!


And after the Latihan Kejiwaan is over... let us not be in a hurry to quickly become busy... in the heart and mind again... thereby losing the precious Divine Gift... we have been so Blessed... to have just Received... but hug the Wonderful Quiet State... close to ourselves... for as long as possible... even until we retire and enter Sleep State... surrendering ourselves... once again... to our CREATOR... as we close our eyes...


You will be surprised at what wonderful dreams you will be missing... if you go to bed... busy in the heart and mind... in a "low" state...!


Beloved BAPAK has told us many times... not to worry about our children and/or dependents... while we are at our place of Latihan Kejiwaan Worship - we should just relax... concentrating only on our sincere... patient surrender...  submitting the whole of ourselves... to THE POWER OF THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... nothing else... 


And we should have firm faith... and utter trust...  that THE POWER of GOD... and HIS Host of Heavenly Angels... will Guard... and Protect them... and See to it... that no harm befalls them... during our absence...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XIV  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Monday 1/10/11...)

Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World - Part XII ... Continued Monday 1/3/11...

When Laura came to Miami five years later, January 13th 1971... when she was in her 10th year in SUBUD... and moved up to California a year later... she heard, very surprised, and for the very first time... about "the different levels of Receiving"...!


And how many SUBUD Members... did not follow their Inner Guidance... because they were not sure of "where it was coming from":  the animal... the vegetable... or material level...!  


This was her first sad shock...


Then she was told that BAPAK had told his SUBUD children in America... to work at enterprises... using their hearts and minds... and not to pay too much attention to their Jiwa... not to Test so much... and not to do too much Latihan Kejiwaan...! 


Second sad shock...


Laura, who soon became Muftiah... worked very hard... before and after her necessary crisis state... reminding her Sisters...and even her Brothers... explaining what BAPAK had really meant... that the secret to living life in this world... is always striking the "happy medium"...


We should never go to extremes... such as relying solely on our emotions... and the cleverness of our minds... thereby sadly neglecting our Kejiwaan selves... and Kejiwaan lives... ultimately losing whatever Spiritual benefits... we may have accrued... by our diligent... patient... sincere surrender... in our submissive devotion... to THE ONE ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD...


As far as trusting in one's Inner Guidance is concerned... if we show sincere love... and faith... to our ALL LOVING... ALL KNOWING... and ALL WISE CREATOR... HE Will Only Give Inner Guidance... in accordance with that particular Created daughter... or son's capacity... to be able to understand... and follow... that results in Grace... Peace... and Harmony... for them... that is to say...: 


"The Excellent Solution... and The Perfect Condition..."


ALLAH once Conveyed to Muftiah... that the Particular Words of Guidance... and Direction... Given to Her... Would Always Refer To The Same Subject Matter... because He Was Very Well Aware... that His children were easily confused... and weak... and prone to make excuses... that they did not understand their particular Guidance... so they did not follow it...!


All the time this trying to be humble to GOD soul... as Grazia... then Laura... then Muftiah... was doing her work as a Helper for BAPAK... she kept praying...:  


"Oh HEAVENLY FATHER... ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Please Do Not Let Your Loving... Worshiping Daughter... Become The Slightest Bit Spiritually Arrogant... Feeling Superior To Her Dear SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... While Doing Her Very Serious Kejiwaan Work..."  


She also made sure... to ask all the Sisters... she came into contact with... in every SUBUD Group... or Center... from South Africa... to the USA... to please remind her... if they saw any traces... of an attitude of superiority... and Spiritual arrogance in her...


"Praise ALLAH"... they never did - not to her face anyway...


Throughout this Open Letter... ALLAH Has Been Urging Muftiah to share... her own awareness... as to how a SUBUD Member... and a SUBUD Helper of BAPAK should be... in service to his/her SUBUD Brothers and Sisters...:-


SUBUD Members should always put into practice... relating to each other... more from their Jiwa... than from their hearts and minds... 


But Helpers especially...should relate to each other... and to the Members... only from their Jiwa... whenever they are in each other's presence,,, such as at times of Latihan Kejiwaan... Meetings... Selamatans... intimate one-on-one encounters... etc... 


And even during phone calls... with one another... preferably Receiving what to say to each other... than speaking to each other... from the lower forces... of their impure hearts and minds... like they used to do... before they were exceedingly Blessed... by the Miracle of SUBUD...!


And now that communication is available... through computer terminals... there are golden opportunities... to sit quietly... in front of them... and Receive what to say to each other... 


Thereby placing into each other's Jiwa... Golden Pearls of great benefit... for each other...


Let us not just talk to each other... from our nafsu hearts and minds... wasting valuable space in time... but... 


"let Our Jiwas... Do The Talking..." 


Truly be the noble human beings... of excellent character... that ALLAH ALMIGHTY GOD... Intends for us... His Precious Created Souls... To Be... and for our own good...  


So... dear Brothers and Sisters... Let us all put into practice... being TRULY SUBUD... RIGHT  NOW... before it is too late...


(Allah Almighty God's Commanded 32-Page Open Letter of January 3, 1987... To All SUBUD Brothers and Sisters Throughout The SUBUD World  -  to be Continued... with  Part  XIII  ... Insha Allah... God Willing... Thursday 1/6/11...)
