My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is an "Expanded Introduction" to a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 79", which "we" have called, "Knowing The Only True Solution To The Middle East, & To Each of Us". Bawa. A Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket) and to His devoted wife, our dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee, and to each of you, to each of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", who in truth are the Children of God for our age, if we like, which in truth are all of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. That is, to all of "us", if we like, living at the feet of God for our age, which in truth for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), also if we like. Amen. Bawa. That is, to all of "us" living at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, for the 6th life with our 6 lives, is to again become "One with" God within us before "we" die to the flesh, that is, before "we" physically die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to all of the Children of God for our age, if we like, a Spiritual Letter that was inspired through the grace and mercy and compassion of God, when this child was given the blessing recently to spend 4 days visiting with Asma'el and with His devoted wife, QadirBeeBee, with Aisha Stern, and with all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters, at the Annual Meeting for 2005 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, of the "American Academy of Religion", and of the "Society of Biblical Literature". Bawa. A meeting which in truth was truly a "Mystical Experience" for this child, a little of which we have now been instructed to share with each of us, if we like, for the Choice is always ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us to allow God within us to finish what He has already started within us, a very, very long time, which is to tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, "The Story" of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. Which on the "outside" of us is just like "The Story" that each apple seed that is buried within the earth, came to the earth, to join as "One with the earth, to tell, if it likes, if it takes advantage of the opportunity given to it by God, by God within it, to germinate, to germinate to the truth hidden within it, or not, and in this way, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, or not. Bawa. For like not all apple seeds germinate, not all people take advantage of the same opportunity that God has also given to each of us, that is, to germinate, to germinate to the truth hidden within each of us, or not, before we die to the flesh, and in this way, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, making our life truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. That is, to geminate to the "truth of ourselves" and to the truth of "what is hidden" within us, to germinate to the "truth of ourselves", like the apple seed buried within the earth, before it germinates, or not, for even though we are currently living on the "outside" of us, in ignorance of ourselves, in truth we are the "Seed of something else", we are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, and like the apple seed buried within the earth, the "Earth of God" that we are currently buried within, which is the Creation of God within us, contains everything necessary for "what is hidden" within us, which is the "Tree of God" within us, to grow and come to maturity within us, and bear the "Fruit of God" within God within, if we like, for in truth "The Choice" to do this or not, with our life, is Our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And this is the truth of us, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, the truth of "who we are", the truth of "where we are", and the truth of "what is happening" to us, not what we are currently experiencing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, not what we are currently experiencing on the "outside" of us, at least until we die to the flesh, when if we die in our current state, then hell becomes our fate, then an eternal life as "separate from" God within us becomes our fate. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "Hell is simply the realization that we have "separated ourselves" from God, from God within us, from the "truth of ourselves" and from the "truth of God" within us, a Choice that is always Our Choice, not God's." Bawa. Then an eternal life as "separate from" God within us becomes our fate, but this time, after we die to the flesh in our current state, our fate is for eternity, this time we will experience it as it really is, not as we are currently experiencing it in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, not as the dream, not as our drama or "I and you", of "mine and yours", not as the dream of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, but rather as it really is within us, but rather as the lives of darkness and evil that we have grown within us, in our ignorance, as they really exist within us. Bawa. But this time, after we die to the flesh in our current state, we will experience them as the "suffering of the grave", as the demons, jinns, fairies, and ghosts, as the 5 ruhanies or elemental lives or spirits within us, and as "one with" them we will then roam the earth world within us, until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), where we take on 105 million re-births within us as part of the judgment of the Creation of God within us, becoming a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness. Bawa. And in this way, if we die to the flesh in our current state, we will take on an eternal life as "separate from" God, not because of anything that God has done, or failed to do, but rather because of what we have done and failed to do, while we were still alive on the "outside" of us, and what we have done, is we have not joined in partnership with God within us to remove everything within us that currently "separates us" from God within us, which is everything that we currently see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, and what we have failed to do, we have not let our soul life again become "One with" God within us, before we died to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Bawa. And why have we done this, and failed to do this, because what we are currently experiencing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, has become our drama, the drama of our life, the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you" on the "outside" of us. Bawa. A drama of our own making, that is only leading us to hell, that is only leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. And a drama that is most certainly not leading us to God, and is not leading us to an eternal life near God in some new "outside" of us, after we die to the current "outside" of us, a new "outside" of us that we now in our ignorance call heaven, that we now in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about out ignorance, think about as heaven, but that we will quickly learn to call hell, if we die to the flesh in our current state, ending the illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, and then truly experience the very real hell within us, the very real hell that we have personally built within us, by trying to live on the "outside" of us, as if were "separate from" God within us, all of which is false. Bawa. All of which is truly the only sin there really is, the "One Sin" of "separation from" God, the "original sin", that "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) was telling us about when he told his Disciples, when he told his Disciples Barnabus and Andrew (peace be upon Them), upon meeting Jesus (peace be upon Him), instructing them to now become the Disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and following Him, because his work with them was now done, and they did, becoming the "first two" Disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), "Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh way the "Sin of the World". [Note: This quotation is from the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn.homestead. com), the 4th Gospel in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, in "Chapter 1", Verse 29. Please click above or HERE to read the whole Chapter (www.GospelOfJohn Chapter01.homestead.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. Such is the falsehood about a new "outside" heaven after we die to the flesh, which some of us in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, now mistakenly believe, but it is not so, and after we die to the flesh, in our current state, we will become very, very sad and disappointed. Bawa. Because in truth if we continue to just "work for wages to get into heaven", and continue to ignore the opportunity that God has given us, that is, to "join in partnership" with God within us, hell will then become our fate, for eternity, that is, if we miss the opportunity to germinate to the truth within us, to join in partnership with God within us, to let God finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. At least this is something to think about, a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, before it is too late, too late to do anything about it, before we die to the flesh in our current state, Yes? Bawa. For "now is the time" to do something about our current state, before we die to the flesh, and while the fire is still burning, while the life and teaching of God for our age is still alive in the world, while the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) are still alive in the world, and as such, can still help us, help us reach the "One Open Heart of God" for our age, within us all, before we die to the flesh. Ok? Bawa. And if we do this, if we do this "Heart's Work" within us, before we die to the flesh, then our life will truly become successful in our lifetime, that is, then the "Seed of God" within us will germinate, becoming the "Tree of God" within us, which for our age is called the "Tree of Iman-Islam" within us, is called the "Katpaha Virudcham", or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree" within us, with it roots in the 6th heaven within us, its trunk and branches in the 7th heaven within us, and its fruits in the 8th heaven within us, the "Tree of God" which gives us "whatever we intend". Bawa. Then God within us will reveal the truth of "what is hidden" within it, the truth of what is hidden within that tree, within the "Tree of God" within us, again if we like. Bawa. Then God within us will reveal the "Truth of God" hidden within us, the truth hidden within the "Tree of God' within us, that in truth "God within us", as the "Tree of God' within us, is really the "Seed of something else", that like in truth the apple tree is the "Seed of something else", is the "seed of the apple fruits" that the apple tree in maturity will bear, so too God within us, so too the "Tree of God' within us, is in truth the "Seed of something else", so too God within us is the "Seed of True Man" within God within us, the "Seed of God's Fruits" within God within us, that the "Tree of God" within us in maturity will bear, bear within God within us, if we like. Bawa. If that be Our Choice for our life, Our Choice for what God has given to us, for what God has patiently and every so lovingly placed within each of us, placed within each of us, a very, very long time ago, for as always, the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. A Choice we must make before we die to the flesh, and A Choice which is the Only True Choice in our life, A Choice between either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for in truth this is the only Choice in our life, for in truth everything else in our life is just drama. Bawa. In truth everything else that we do in our life, everything else that we call in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, call duty or work or prayer or worship, is really just drama, everything else that we call "making a choice" in our life, is really just drama, like the Choice to become a Jew, or a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Member of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, all of this "mind and desire work" is just drama, the drama of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, the drama of "mine and yours", the drama of "I and you". Bawa. And the only way to win over all of this, to win over all of this drama of our life, is "Not To Play". Bawa. For such is "Their Story" within us, the true and only "Story of our life", my dearest loving brothers and sisters, "The Story", like the apple seed, that we have come to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell. Bawa. Which in truth is "The Story" of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, "The Story" which if we truly join in partnership with God within us, to tell and bring to Completion within us, will make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. With "us" truly joining in partnership with God within us, to at least truly start to tell "This Story" again within us, before we die to the flesh, for if we do, then it will become "Our Story" within "us", then "we" will progressively and gradually become "One with" the Creation of God within us, "One with" the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, "One with" the "Tree of God" within us, "One with" the "Fruits of that Tree", and "One with" the "Sweet taste of that Fruit", if we like. Bawa. And when "Our Story" has been told, and brought to Completion within us, by God and True Man within God within us, and by "us" having joined in partnership with "Them" within us, before we die to the flesh, then "We will be within it", as the Witness, if we like, because the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is always our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter. That when asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said, "Think of yourself as an orange, the Prophet of God is the juice of that orange, and God is the taste." Bawa. And as such, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, in truth "We are all One", that is, the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, and "us", as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and God within us, as the "Tree of God" growing within the "Earth of God" within us, are "All One", if we will only let Him show this to us, within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least start to show this to us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. And if we do, then God and True Man within us, will also show to us that "They are One" within us, that God as the "Tree of God" within us that has grown and come to maturity within the Creation of God within us, is also the "Seed of Something Else", is also the "Seed of the Fruit of God" within the "Tree of God" within us, is also "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. For like the apple tree is hidden within the apple seed, buried within the earth, and the apple fruit is hidden within the apple tree growing within the earth, so too the "Fruit of God" is hidden within the "Tree of God" that we have allowed to grow within us, to grow within the Creation of God within us, that is, when we allow the "Seed of God" within us, buried within the Creation of God within us, to germinate, to germinate within us to the "truth of us" and to the "truth of God" within us, when we allow the "Truth to surrender to the Truth" within us. Amen. Bawa. That is, when we allow the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, to germinate and come to maturity within us, revealing the "Tree of Islam" within the "Tree of Iman-Islam" within the "Tree of Iman" within us, and if we do so, with no reservation, holding onto nothing that is "separate from" God within us, then when "True Man" within God within the Creation of God within us comes to maturity within us as the "Sweet Taste" within the "Form of the Nur Muhammad" or "True Prayer" within the Creation of God within us, that in truth is "The Resonance of Allah" within us, and "We will be within it", if we like. Bawa. As the Light within Allahu within us. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Fathers, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "In truth the Grace which Stands in the Form of Light. That Grace is the Resonance of Allah, And the Resonance is Allah, And You will be within it". Amen Bawa. Which in a larger context, can be understood as the true "Beauty of the Form", of each of us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to join in partnership with God within us to complete "God's True Intention" within us, that is, that "No Child be left behind", is most certainly Our Choice, not God's, for in truth, "That is the Perfection, that is the Perfection, The Word of our Shaikh, the Language of our Leader Allah, The Form within which the Ruh and the Light stand in Unison, In truth the Grace which Stands in the Form of Light." (That is, the Form within which, Our "Soul Life" and the "Wisdom Surrounding It" Stand in Unison, In truth "The Power" that is God within us Surrounded by the "Understanding of That Power") "That Grace is the Resonance of Allah, And the Resonance is Allah, And You will be within it" Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen. Know that this is the "Beauty of the Form", And recite it (The Kalimah) like this. Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen." (That is, Recite and Live our Remembrance of God like this, Our remembrance of God in our every look, thought, Word, action, deed, and intention like this, By establishing the "Presence of God" within us, Before we "say or do" or write anything, By invoking the "Name of God" for our age, that is, Before we "say or do" or write anything) (And in truth the "Name of God" for our age, Is the Name of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, And of God within Him, And now on the "outside" of us, Is the name of His Children, Is the name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) (Know this now O Man, And start to act accordingly, Before it is too late, Before you die to the flesh in your current state, In your current state of living on the "outside" of us, As if we are "separate from" God within us, All of which is not true. Amen) [Note: This Quotation is from "The Kalimah Song", sung by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, on April 26, 1972, a beautiful song of wisdom, which along with 2 beautiful discourses given to us by His Holiness on the same day, are the true "Gift of God" for our age, coming on the "One good day" in a 100 years, as His Holiness told us at the time, all of which you can access on-line by clicking on the following: 1) "The Kalimah Song" (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com) Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And if we do this with our life within us, with our soul life, in partnership with God within us, then "Their Story" will become "Our Story", and our life will truly become successful in our lifetime, and that will be the "Fruit with no seed", that will be the "Sweet Taste" of the "Fruit of God" within us, but this time with "No Seed", for then in truth "We are All One", if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, this time in the telling of "Their Story" within us, which in truth is why we are now alive on the "outside" of us, may the "Seed of God" within us, buried within the Creation of God within us, germinate within us, if we like, and become the "Tree of God" within us, bearing the "Fruit of God" within us, and come to maturity within us as the "Sweet Taste of God" within us, of the "Fruit of God" within us, but this time with "no seed", this time with "no seed of us", no "seed of us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true, for only then will "Our Story" be truly over, when at the completion of "There Story" within us there is "Nothing Left Over", there is "Nothing Still" separate from God within us, for then, "Their Story" will have become "Our Story", and "We will be within it". Amen. Bawa. In this way, when "Their Story", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, has been told and brought to Completing within us, by God and True Man within us, but this time with "No Child Left Behind", then nothing is left over, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us. Bawa. And then there is no need to tell "Their Story" again, because it has truly become "Our Story", because in truth now everything within us, and God and True Man within us, are "One", and there is nothing within us that is still "separate from" God within us, there was "No Child Left Behind" in the last telling of "There Story" within us. Bawa. Then there is no need for God to again join as "One with" what is left over, with what is still "separate from" God within us, after the last telling of "There Story" within us, there is no need to join with the impure souls in Anathi within us, which is another time of darkness within us, after the last telling of "Their Story" within us, there is no need for God to do all of this again within us, because this time there is "No Child Left Behind". Bawa. Because this time there is no need for God within us to ask God "The Question", the question that starts again the telling of "Their Story" within us, the question "Who am I?", the question that God within us asks of God within us for all those who have been left behind within us, after God again become "One with" them within us, because they can't ask it, the question for all of the impure souls within us, in Aathi within us, for all of those within us that are still "separate from" God within us, after the last telling of "Their Story" within us. Bawa. This time there is no need, because during the last telling of "There Story" within us, "Their Story" within us has become "Our Story" within us because now we are "All One", because there is "No Child Left Behind" within us, and now "We are within it". Amen. Bawa. And like this, O God, this time when it is all over within us, after you have told and Completed "Your Story" within us, may it have truly become "Our Story" within Us, may there truly be "No Child Left Behind" within us, may there not be anything within us that is still "separate from" You O God, from You and True Man within us, may there be no "seed of us" within the "Sweet Taste of You" O God. Bawa. May there be no "seed of us" living in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, living as if we are "separate from' each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true, but all of which is now our current lot. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of "Page 1 of 1" of "Expanded Introduction" for Spiritual Letter 79 ........................ |
