The true "Gift of God" for our age "is us", is us standing in the "Presence of God" within us, so God can then "Cure Himself of us", so God can then cure Himself of His dream, of His dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us", all of which is not true, for in truth until our Judgment we are always "One with" God within us, and God is closer to us than our own breath. Bawa. And in truth "God's Dream" is how God starts to complete His Intention within us, which is that "No Child Be Left Behind", that is, after the Completion of the telling of "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story which if we join in partnership with God within us, that is, if we allow the drream to end, allows God to truly Complete "His Story" within us, ensuring that at the end, "No Child Has Been Left Behind", that at the end, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us, and in this way, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen. Bawa. So "This" is the true "selfless" purpose of our life, within us, with "us" again becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is for God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. And "this" is the "selfish" purpose of our life, which is our current state, which is "us" failing to let our soul again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, which is how each of us are currently trying to live our life, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters, in the world that we see, in our collective ignorance, and in our collective arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, and which now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with God's Permission, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", if we like, of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. Allowing God to "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by closing down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, which are the 3 worlds that we have currently opened within us, below our neck, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as the world of false creation below our waist, as the world of false destruction as our stomach, and as the world of false life as our chest. Bawa. And allowing God to further "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by then re-opening the world of souls within us, which is the world within us that God originally opened within us, when God created our soul, and placed His Wisdom surrounding our soul, before sending our soul to the "First" of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Contrast" within us, for understanding only occurs through contrast, which is the school where we learn about everything that is "separating us" from God within us, which is where the "House of Light" is built for the soul within us, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom", the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with him) within us, which is what the soul needs to go to the "Second" of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us. Bawa. And allowing God to further "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by opening the kingdom of God within us, so God can then "Pass Judgment" upon us, upon the creation of God within us, which in truth is our current state, is who we currently are, that is, the Creation of God within us in the state of incompleteness within us. Bawa. So God can then "Pass Judgment" upon us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. For in truth, if we die to the flesh in our current state an eternal hell within us then becomes our lot, which is but the realization after death of what we have done with our life, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we have "separated ourselves" from "ourselves", from the "oneness of God and True Man" within us, from God within us, and from True Man within God. Bawa. For in truth, "Life is the victory of wisdom reasoning over fate", if we like, returning the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within us, to the state of the 5 Angels within us, to the state of the Angels Gabiel, Michael, Israfiel, Isriel, and Rukiel (peace be upon Them) within us, if they like, allowing us to see and understand for the frist time the "28 Letters of Life" within us, as existing behind the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, which truly make up the parts the body of man within us. Bawa. Allowing the Light within us, that is, the Nur and the Qutb within us, to emerge out of the Shadow within us, out of the 25 letters within us, out of God's Dream within us, out of our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, and gradually become the "Essence of the 28" within us, gradually become the 5 letter from of "Al-hamd" within us. Bawa. That is, gradually becoming "Al-hamd" within us, by first becoming the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, with the 2 that emerge from within us, that is, the Nur and Qutb within us, then gradually joining as "One with" the 3 remaining letters within us, that is, with the 26th, the 27th, and the 28th letter within us, to become the 5 letters or 5 senses within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of Allah" within us, known as "Al-hamd" within us. Amen. Bawa. That is, first with the Light within us, that is, with the Nur and Qutb within us, joined as "One with" the 26th letter within us, which is the 6th level of wisdom within us, or Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, the wisdom that teaches, analyzes, and controls within us, that is, as the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul within us, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, joined as "One with" the liberated soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, in search of the Nur, or the Light of our wisdom within us, which is the Nur Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us. Amen. Bawa. And then joined as "One with" with the 27th letter within us, which is the 7th level of wisdom within us, which is the world of Wisdom within Wisdom within us, opened by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as the kingdom of God or firdaus within us. Bawa. Allowing Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us to go on the journey know in the Islamic tradition as Mi'raj within us, that is to take the 20 year journey within us through the "mim" or mind within us, which in truth is "Our Journey" out of this world within us back into God within us, in the process havesting the "understanding of everything" within us. Bawa. That is, havesting the "understanding of everything" within us from the 70,000 veils of "separation and differences" that naturally grew within our mind within us, within the "mim" of Muhammad (blessing and pleace be upon Him), during the "Journey of our soul" from God within us to the "First" of God's Schools within us. Bawa. That is, that naturally grew within us during the "Journey of our soul" from the world of souls within us, in a state of ignorance, or "Lack of Undertanding" within us, into the earth world within us, that is, into the "School of Contrast" within us, so "we" could learn about "who we already are" within us, which is "Of God" within us, and of what is "within God" within us, and of "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And then, having learned our lessons, having passed our exams, having graduated from the "First" of God's Schools within us, from the "School of Contrast" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, to go off to the "Next" of God's Schools within us, to the "School of Light" within us, that is, to return to God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again, sharing this understanding with God within us for eternity. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, with "Us" gradually becoming the "Form of The Cause" within us, the Form of the Ummul Qur'an within us, the Form of Inner Qur'an within us, the From of the Suratal Fatihah within us, which is the 5 letter form of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", or "Al-hamd" within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of Allah" within us, and in this way, with "Us" gradually coming to "Know the Glory of the Human Form" within us, and if we like, allowing "Us" to "Realize the greater bliss of reaching the Primal One" within us. Amen. [Note: Please see the "Forward" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), as taught in this Spiritual Letter, for more on this wisdom point) Bawa. In this way, eliminating the "Suffering of the Grave" from within us, and bringing the creation of God within us to judgment within us, returning them to the "State of Completion" within us, if they like, and in this way, completing Qiyamah within us, which is "The Standing Forth; The Day of Judgment" within us", before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. With God accomplishing all of this within us, in partnership with "us" within Him, if we like, that is, when we begin to know without the slightest doubt, that the Choice to do this, or not, with our life, that is, the Choice "To Endure this Cure" within us, or not, joined in partnership with God within us, or at least the Choice to truly "Start To Endure It" within us, or not, joined in partnership with God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, within us. Bawa. In this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us, and God joined in partnership with "us" within Him, as "One" within us, to accomplish this "Very Important First Step" within us, on the Journey of God back into God within us. Bawa. That is, the "Very Important First Step" within us, which both ends God's dream within us, and ends our current state on the "outside" of us, which is sort of like the "Tip of God's Arrow" within us piercing and ending God's Dream within us, piercing and ending His dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us", all of which is not true, so God within us, and us within God, as "One" within us, can then do "Everything Else" within us, in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Amen. ============================================================== Main Menu: - or "Table of Contents" for Spiritual Letter 84 ----------------- (STATUS) Go To: Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Go To: Alternate Versions - of Spiritual Letter 84 Text Only Version - shortest version, none to 1 outline, none to short summaries ---------------------------------------------- (In Process) E-mail Version - next shortest version, 1 to 2 outlines, short to expanded summaries -------------------------------------- (Available) (On-line Version of the "E-mail" that was sent to you) (The page you are currently reading) Outline & Summary - of E-mail Version Outline & Summary Version - longest version, 2 to 3 outlines, multiple summaries ------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) Go To: Expanded Material - for Spiritual Letter 84 Expanded Topics Expanded Overviews ------------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) Go To: Support Material - for Spiritual Letter 84 E-mail Alert Related Material ------------------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) About Spiritual Letter ----------------------------------------------------------- (In Process) ============================================================== Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Bawa.

Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Expanded Version of The Title: Bawa. Here is a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 84", which "We" have given the title, as follows, "The True Gift of God For Our Age Is Us, Is Us Standing In the "Presence of God" Within Us". Bawa. And which in its Expanded Form, can be understood as follows, "The True Gift of God For Our Age Is Us, Is Us Standing In the "Presence of God" Within Us". "So God Can Then "Cure Himself of Us", So God Can Then Cure Himself of His Dream, Of His Dream of "Us" Living On The "Outside" of Us, As If We Are "Separate From" God Within Us". "So God Can Then "Pass Judgment" Upon Us, Upon The Creation of God Within Us, Which In Truth Is Our Current State, Is Who We Currently Are". "So God Can Then "Pass Judgment" Upon Us, Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State, In Our Current State of Living On The "Outside" of Us, As If We Are "Separate From" God Within us, All of Which Is Not True". "For In Truth, If We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State An Eternal Hell Within Us Then Becomes Our Lot, Which Is But The Realization After Death Of What We Have Done With Our Life, In Our Ignorance, And In Our Arrogance About Our Ignorance, That We Have "Separated Ourselves" From "Ourselves", From the "Oneness of God and True Man" Within Us, From God Within Us, And From True Man Within God". "For In Truth, Life Is The Victory of Wisdom Reasoning Over Fate, If We Like, Returning The 5 Ruhanies or Elemental Spirits Within Us, To The State of the 5 Angels Within us, If They Like, In This Way, Eliminating The "Suffering of The Grave" Within Us, And Bringing the Creation of God To Judgment Within Us, Returning Them To The "State of Completion" Within Us, If They Like, And In This Way, Completing Qiyamah Within Us, Which Is The "Standing Forth; The Day of Judgment" Within Us Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State". "With Us Knowing Without The Slightest Doubt, That The Choice To "Endure This Cure", Or Not, Within Us, Or At Least To Truly Start "To Endure It" Within Us, In Partnership With God Within Us, Is Most Certainly Our Choice, Not God's Choice, Within Us". "So God Can Then Do "Everything Else" Within Us, To Make Our Life Truly Successful In Our Lifetime, Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State. Amen." Bawa. A Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brothers and sisters of "Planet Mirror", and to our dearest loving brothers and sisters of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", all who in truth are the Children of God for our age, if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for the life within us, for our soul life, is to again becocome "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen.

And like the "Planet Mirror", the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship" (www.bmf. org) is an amazing God registered company with experience in opening the heart, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get hell as our lot, for in truth, "Hell is simply the realization after our physical death of what we have done with our life before our death, that we have "separated ourselves" from God within us." Bawa. That is, the realization after our physical death that we have "separated ourselves" from "Ourselves", from the "truth of us" and from the "truth of God" within us, a truth that we have came here to join in partnership with God within us to reveal, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. For if we fail to accomplish this transformation of state or consciousness in our lifetime, from the illusory "outside" of us to the very real but false inside of us, and within that, to the very real and true inside of us, which is what is wiithin God within us, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, or fail to at least truly start to do this within us, joined in partnership with God within us, then hell, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, becomes our lot for eternity. Bawa. With us then suffering after our physical death a fate similar to the apple seed that fails to germinate in the earth, that fails to germinate to the truth hidden within itself, that is, that fails to reveal the apple tree and the apple fruits hidden within it, and instead, upon hearing the truth that naturally emerge from within it, that is, when it is ready to both hear it and either accept or reject it (sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us), rejects this truth of itself, and instead rots and dies in the earth, in this way, becoming subject to 105 million rebirths, but ever again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. Bawa. And in this way, hell is an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, not anything that exists on the "outside" of us, as many of us still believe in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance. Bawa. And may God help us all realize, understand, and accept that in truth the Choice of heaven or hell, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of either an eternal "Oneness with" God within us or the Choice of an eternal "separation from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we will spend eternity within us, either as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's, and that in truth, there is no other Choice. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. That is, a a beautiful Spiritual Letter 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. 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, Bawa. When asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" Bawa. 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. 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). ============================================================== Outline & Summary - of "E-mail Version" "Brief Outline" - of "Spiritual Letter 84" Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Greetings - heart to heart, if we like Page 1 - the page you are currently reading 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age "Is Us" - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play" 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils", and everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is "Do we want it" 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to make "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within Us - by saying the "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) living on the "outside" of us 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love". Enjoy 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa.homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot. Amen ============================================================== "Expanded Outline" - of "Spiritual Letter 83" Page 1 - the page you are currently reading Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 83 Greetings - heart to heart, if we like 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age Is Us - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to establish "His Presence" within us, and in this way, to join with the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, in order to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within us, and in this way, to make "God's Story" into "Our Story" within us, or at least to start to do this within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God can then do "Everything Else" within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, all of the "Baby Birds" who have been kicked out of the nest by the "Mother Bird", by "Bawa", are now "Ready to fly", are ready to live as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, because in truth "We are All One". Now all that is left is, "Do we want it", do we truly want "Oneness with" God for eternity? For the Choice is ours, not God's. Thanks be to God. Al-hamdu lillah, all praise and praising belongs to God and to God alone. Allahu Akbar, only God is Great. Amen 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play", and the only way "Not to play" is to "Escape" the "outside" of us, and the only way to "Escape" the "outside" of us, is to "Disappear into God" within us, and the only way to "Disappear into God" within us, is to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and the only way to establish the "Presence of God" within us, is to invoke the "Name of God" for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and the Name of God" for our age is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "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 also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, for the Choice to accept this about "us" and about God within us, that in truth we are "All One", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, and if we do, if we step out to do this direction in our life, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that would be very good, that is, if we join in partnership with God within us, to start to live this way, as "One with", both within us and on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then God within us will do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, for this is "God's Promise" for our age, this is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all reflect on this a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, that is, start to act as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, before it is too late to live this way. That would be very good. Amen 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach, for if we pray to God as a Christian "separate from" the Jews and the Muslims, or as a Jew "separate from" the Christians and the Muslims, or as a Muslim "separate from" the Jews and the Christians, then God cannot accept our prayers, because they are prayers of "separation and differences" and God is One, God has no "separation and differences", God is "One with" all of us, within us, no matter what we may be practicing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance on the "outside" of us, and only when we all come together in this way, that is, under "One Tent" within us, and as One pray to the "One God" within us all, will God hear our prayers 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils", and everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is "Do we want it". All of which is happening right now in our age, for example in this Spiritual Letter from God within us all, if we like, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, and as each of us hears this final teaching of God for our age, and understands it, all that is left is "Do we want it", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and in the truth this is the only Choice in our life, God or hell, not God and heaven or hell. Because any heaven that we can imagine with our mind and desire will gradually become our hell, after we die to the flesh, as we gradually realize what we have done with our life, that in truth all that we have succeeded in doing with our life within us is have "separated ourselves" from God within us, rather than letting our soul again join as "One with" God within us, as is God's intention for us. And in this way, with our imaginary heaven on the "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, gradually becoming our eternal hell within us, because it is still an eternal "separation from" God within us, no matter what we may choose to call it. Such is our fate, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, God or hell, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, and in this way, in the end, God simply gives us exactly what we want, that is, what we have told God over and over again that we want for eternity, as we lived our short life in the world, either "Oneness with" or "separation from", that we have told God over and over again, not just by our words, but rather by our actions, by the way that we have lived our short life in the world, that is, living out our short life in the world as either as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, as God tries to show us, over and over again, that in truth, "We are all One", like in this Spiritual Letter, that is, until we die to the flesh, when the house we build is the one we move into, and the crop that we have sown is the one that we harvest. In this way, may our eternal House and Crop be His, not ours, not ours as "separate from" God within us. Amen 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. For example, like the work of the apple seed buried within the earth, is pointing to our work within us, if we like, to our work as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, which is to germinate to the truth within us, and reveal the "Tree of God" within us. And for example, like the "7 Colors of The Rainbow" are all contained within the "white light", and are spread out in the rainbow for us to see, if we like, as the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness within, one within the other, if we like. In this way, with God secretly showing us within our current dream life on the "outside" of us, if we like, what really lies beyond it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. For the Choice to use our life within us, to use our soul life within us, , to join in partnership with God within us, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth within us, revealing the "Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" within us, is our Choice, not God's. And in this way, letting "God's Story" become "Our Story" in our lifetime, or not, that is, or to let our precious life rot and die in our thoughts of "separation and differences", until we die to the flesh in our current state, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like, from God within us all, if we like, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it, that is, if we will only let it both destroy us, and revealing us, that is, destroy what God is currently showing us, and reveal what God has next to show us, if we like, for the Choice to let our current life and state end, or not, and let what is our next life or state begin, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", is that what God has shown us in the previous ages on the "outside" of us, about "His Story" within us, we can now experience within us in our age, if we like, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to let Him "Make It So" within us, if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to let Him tell "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it, before we die to the flesh in our current state, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, while God is still living within the hearts of His Children for this age, that is, if our soul is to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world, like our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, did so over 20 years ago 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within us - by saying the "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the "Name of His Children", living on the "outside" of us, that is, is also the Name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love" 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa.homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between the His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, for the Choice to use our life in this way, and germinate to the truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen ============================================================== Text of E-mail Version - for "Spiritual Letter 84" Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. 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 brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions Bawa. Thank you very much for the wonderful service that you are providing, it is very helpful for those of us who are struggling to use the Internet on the many older computer platforms, platforms that have been discarded along the way, by many, for the newer and equally more complicated platforms, that in truth do just the same, but only faster, but for what purpose, that is, when we have yet to discover how to use the older ones properly. What to do? Bawa. We are in the process of trying to restore and upgrade a PowerPC, that is, a Macintosh Performa 6400/200, using the latest software that will run on it. The original operating system was a MAC 7.5.3, which was later upgraded with the current operating system, which is a MAC 8.5. Bawa. We have already loaded on AOL 5.0 which runs, but with some difficulties, mainly it freezes up sometimes, with certain functions, and we need to reboot. Also, we have loaded on Netscape 6 which runs, but also with some difficulties, mainly that it is slow. Bawa. The current memory settings are as follows: 1) Disk Cache: Set at "Default setting", with default estimated size at start up of 1536K. We could make this number higher or lower by selecting "Custom Setting", and changing 1536K either up or down. 2) Virtual Memory On Hard Drive: With "Available for use" on disk listed at 307M, and with "Available build-in memory" listed at 48M. We can set this Virtual Memory number up or down if we like, up to 307M and down to 49M. Currently it is set at 100M. Bawa. And then today, using the download we got from you last night, which was, "InternetExplorer502EN.bin", we have tried to load Internet Explorer 5.02 but it stopped, and didn't load, when trying to install the "Microsoft Internet Library", giving us the following Error Message, "The application "Microsoft Internet First Run" has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 3 occurred." Bawa. So here are our 4 questions: First: What can we do to fix this problem, of Internet Explorer 5 not installing, of the installation stopping with a type 3 error? Second: Do we have the right download for this Platform? There are five files that we can download from the "Planet Mirror", and we downloaded the first one. Is this the right one, that is, of the five files that we find listed when we do a search of "Internet Explorer 5" on Planet Mirror, as follows: 1) InternetExplorer502EN.bin (the one we downloaded and tried to install) 2) InternetExplorer516EN.bin 3) InternetExplorer502EN.hqx 4) InternetExplorer522EN.bin 5) InternetExplorer522EN.dmg Third: Are our memory settings correct for maximum performance? Fourth: What additional upgrades or downloads could we do to improve performance, using the existing platform. Bawa. All help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age "Is Us" - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to establish "His Presence" within us, and in this way, to join with the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, in order to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within us, and in this way, to make "God's Story" into "Our Story" within us, or at least to start to do this within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God can then do "Everything Else" within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen Bawa. And now for a little sharing of "God's Love", from our heart to your heart, if we like, that is, a little bit about the life of this child, and how it was all changed 30 years ago, when we met a true Holy Man in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, in the "City of Brotherly Love". Bawa. That is, when "Louie meets Bawa", at the age of 36 years old, in 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and the "night is finally over" within us, when the true "Gift of God" for our age is revealed, understood, and accepted within us, for all of us, if we like, for in truth "We are all One". Bawa. The True "Gift of God" for our age which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us all, that is, if we truly allow it to start up again within us, a Story which stopped within us when, "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself (within himself) although God exists within man." [Note: This is a beautiful quotation from the first line of the "Forward" of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", by 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, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like. To access the full text of the "Forward", please click above or HERE (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com), and to access some of the Chapters in the book "The Pearl of Wisdom", please click above or HERE (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And a Story that starts up again within us, in our age, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us becomes Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that is, and the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. In this way, transforming Him and all of us, if we like, into the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age, within each of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, for in our age, this is now our true heritage, our true birth right, the destiny of our soul, for our age, allowing God within us to finish what God has started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, that is, to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, that is, to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, if we will only let Him, if we will only join Him in what He is now doing within all of us, if we will only let Him make "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen. Bawa. That is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, all of the "Baby Birds" who have been kicked out of the nest by the "Mother Bird", by "Bawa", are now "Ready to fly", are ready to live as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, because in truth "We are All One". Now all that is left is, "Do we want it", do we truly want "Oneness with" God for eternity? For the Choice is ours, not God's. Thanks be to God. Al-hamdu lillah, all praise and praising belongs to God and to God alone. Allahu Akbar, only God is Great. Amen Bawa. In this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", in 1975 Louie meets Bawa, and Bawa meets Louie, and in truth our age begins, and the last age ends, at least within Louie, but if we like, within all of us, that is, Louie meets a true Holy Man when Louie is 36 years old, and the true Holy Man for our age meets Louie when He is well over 160 years old, which was the true turning point in all of our lives, both in the life of us living in this age, and in the life of the Holy Man, because in truth, "We are all One", that is, "us" within the Creation of God within us, the Creation of God within us, God within us, and True Man within God within us, "We are all One". Bawa. As in truth, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", so are we, that is, "We are all One", if we like, because in truth, as it is said in the Islamic tradition, as the very heart of the Islamic teaching, if we like, "La illaha, Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasul Allah". Which can be translated into English to mean, "There is nothing other than God, You are God, And Muhammad (True Man happening) is the Messenger (the Wisdom) of God". Bawa. And now in our age, this has become, if we like, (Bawa) IIl Allahu - You are Allah. (Bawa) La illaha - There is nothing other than You. (Bawa) Muhammad Mustafa Rasul (Sal.) - Muhammad (True Man happening) is the Chosen Messenger of God (blessing and peace be upon Him). (Bawa) You are True Man. (Bawa) He is One. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", over the last 30 years, this "Resonance of God" within us for our age has grown within the heart of this child, while living at the feet of God for our age, which for our age, is our dear 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 His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, as the Children of God for our age, if we like. 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, for example in the following quotation from "The Kalimah Song" (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com), that His Holiness, and God within Him, sang to us on April 26, 1972, and now on the "outside" of us, that His Children are teaching us about right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "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 (the liberated soul) and the light (the awakened wisdom) stand in unison. 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". "Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen. Know that this is the beauty of the form and recite it like this. Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen." Bawa. With this child gradually discovering during this 30 years that our dear 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, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are in truth the "Gift of God" for our age, are in truth the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, are in truth the "Word of God" for our age, are the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept each of us as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For in truth His Holiness is not a person, and neither are we, neither are any of us, that is just the dream, and in this way, His Holiness came to show us "who we are", when the dream ends, not who He is, to show us "where we are", when the dream ends, not where He is, and to show us "what is happening" in our life, when the dream ends, not what is happening in His life. Bawa. Such is the "truth of us" and the "truth of God" within us, which is our "Oneness", for in truth "We are all One", that is, "One with", not "separate from", and in this way, we are not what we currently think we are, and our brothers and sisters are not what we currently think they are, and God is not what we currently think God is, and the Creation of God is not what we currently think the Creation is, and the world is not what we currently think the world is, that is, us, our brothers and sisters, the Creation of God, and the world that we see in our collective ignorance, and in our collective arrogance as all existing on the "outside" of us, all existing as if "We are all separate", which is just not true. Bawa. In this way, His Holiness is not a person, and neither are we, any more than Moses, or Jesus (peace be upon Them), or Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) is a person, if we like, for the Choice to view God within us, and all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within God within us, and "us" buried within the Creation of God within us, as "One", and not as "separate", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, each of us in truth is the Child of God for our age, if we like, which for our age is the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is just the "One Child" within each of us, and since in truth we are all "One", if this "One Child of God" for our age comes to maturity in any of us, it has come to maturity within all of us, and the only question left, is "Do we want It", do we want to become "One with" this "One Child of God" for our age, before we die to the flesh in our current state, or not, in this way, becoming again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, if we like. Bawa. For such is the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, for our age, which is the life and teaching of 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), whether we know it or not, whether we have met Him or His Children or not, or even whether we know who He is, or who His Children are, or not, it doesn't matter, because it is the truth within 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play", and the only way "Not to play" is to "Escape" the "outside" of us, and the only way to "Escape" the "outside" of us, is to "Disappear into God" within us, and the only way to "Disappear into God" within us, is to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and the only way to establish the "Presence of God" within us, is to invoke the "Name of God" for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and the Name of God" for our age is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "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 also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, for the Choice to accept this about "us" and about God within us, that in truth we are "All One", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen Bawa. For in truth each of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God that came into the world, over and over again, in previous ages, were really about something else, were really about something other than us, with us in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, turning each of Them (peace be upon Them) into a religion on the "outside" of us, including Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, turning Them and Their life and teaching into a religion or path of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us. What to do? Bawa. For example, we turned Them (peace be upon Them) into the religion of Hinduism, and of Zoroastrianism, and of Christianity, and of Islam or Judaism on the "outside" of us, which we still see reflections of even today in our age, but by doing so we truly "missed the point", the point of Them, of God within Them, and of each of us, for in truth "We are all One", that is, God within us, what is "within God" within us, and us, are in truth all One, like the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits are in truth all One. Bawa. For in truth They (peace be upon Them) are not about us continuing to live on the "outside" of us, until we die to the flesh, continuing to live in our current state of "separation and differences", of "separation from", of "separation from" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, They are really about something else. Bawa. They (peace be upon Them) are really about God and us within us, about God, us, and the relationship between God and us, within us, They (peace be upon Them) are really about God within us, and about what is "within God" within us, and about what God is doing with what is "within God" within us, They (peace be upon Them) are really about something which only in our current age can we begin to truly appreciate and follow, if we like. 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - is the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, and if we do, if we step out to do this direction in our life, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that would be very good, that is, if we join in partnership with God within us, to start to live this way, as "One with", both within us and on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then God within us will do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, for this is "God's Promise" for our age, this is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all reflect on this a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, that is, start to act as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, before it is too late to live this way. That would be very good. Amen Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to use our life as God intended it to be used, within us, not on the "outside" of us, and as "One with" everything within us, not as "separate from" everything on the "outside" of us, that is, to use our life as God sees us, and as God is trying to use us, if we will only let Him, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. That is, to use our life as the Creation of God existing within us, and within that, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and within that, as True Man happening within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, as the apple seed buried within the earth is really the "apple tree happening" within the earth, and within that, is really the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening' within the earth, if it likes, for the Choice to germinate, or not, to use its life in this way or not, that is, to reveal what is hidden within it, or not, is its Choice, not God's. Bawa. And in this way, the Choice to live our life again as "One with" God within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leaves us again, that is, the Choice to live our life as God's answer to God's Question within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, of God's Question of Himself within us, of the question "Who am I?", that is, the Choice to tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, the Choice to think about God and us in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, as "One with", not as we like to think about ourselves and God and each other and the Creation of God, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, that is, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true, and all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's. 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach, for if we pray to God as a Christian "separate from" the Jews and the Muslims, or as a Jew "separate from" the Christians and the Muslims, or as a Muslim "separate from" the Jews and the Christians, then God cannot accept our prayers, because they are prayers of "separation and differences" and God is One, God has no "separation and differences", God is "One with" all of us, within us, no matter what we may be practicing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance on the "outside" of us, and only when we all come together in this way, that is, under "One Tent" within us, and "as One" pray to the "One God" within us all, will God hear our prayers Bawa. For example, what we now refer to in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as the religion of the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) or Judaism, as the religion of the followers of Jesus (peace be upon Him) or Christianity, and as the religion of the followers of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) or Islam, are in truth about "what God is doing" within each of us, if we will only let Him, which is something which only now in our age, that God can truly finish within us, if we will only let Him. Bawa. And in this way, in truth nothing that Moses or Jesus (peace be upon Them), or Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) told us, was about us, was about any of us, or was about what we think in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are doing on the "outside" of us, in any way, shape, or form, a teaching that only a few, if any, of the people of these previous ages could, or wanted to understand. Bawa. This is why Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us the following over 2000 years ago, as recorded by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him), as the first and last disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him), as recorded in the Holy Bible, in the "Gospel of John", in "Chapter 16", Verse 12, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils" Expanded Overview of Topic 07: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must understand the Time or age that we are currently in, and not get confused by the times or ages that are now passed, which in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we mistakenly identify with, and see as all one, with our age being the successful completion of what came before, which is not true, not realizing that in truth this is the "End of Time", the "Final Judgment" of God, when in truth God sends His "Final Representative" to explain again all that was explained before, but this time with "No Veils", that was explained before by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, who came into the world, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, that is, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world, to seek salvation for Themselves and for their Children (please be upon us all), which They did, and we have yet to do. Bawa. And when this Final Representative of God comes into the world, to give the final teaching of God, to the Children of God, for our age, everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that is left is "Do we want it". Bawa. That is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for this is the only true Choice left in our life, and this is what we have come to this earth world in this age to do, to make this Choice, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and receive an eternal life as "separate from" God as our default Choice, that is, if we fail to Choose before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. And in this case, if we have failed to make our Choice, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then in truth the Justice of God within us makes the final Choice for us, giving us either God or hell as our lot, giving us either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us as our reward, as our reward for having come to this world, to the earth world within us, for a very short time. Bawa. And in this way "Our Very Own Life" answers the "Question of Our Life", the question, "What do we want for eternity", giving us at the end either an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or giving us in the end an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and there is no other Choice, and a "No Choice" is a Choice, is a Choice of eternal "separation from" God within us. Bawa. And in this way, whichever one we Choose, or is Chosen for us, it is our actions, not just our words, that determine our eternal fate, that is, it is how we have lived our very short life in the world, either as "One with" or as "separate from", that becomes our reward for eternity, for according to the "Justice of God" within us, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive" Text of Topic 07: Bawa. And now in our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" comes His Holiness and His Children, comes the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), to tell us again the same truth, as told to us by Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), but this time with "No Veils", but now a truth that we can bear to hear, not like in previous ages, but still a truth that most of us do not really want to hear. Bawa. To tell us that in truth "we" are not really about the current "us", that is, about "us" living a life of "separation and differences" 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 living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true, for in truth "We are all One", nor are "we" about "what we think that we are doing" on the "outside" of us, no matter how wonderful or exalted it may appear to be, for in truth we are about "God within us", and about what is "within God" within us, and about what "God is doing" with what is "within God" within us. Bawa. And what "God is doing" with what is "within God" within us is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, is telling and bringing to Completion of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, that if we will only let Him, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to allow the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the Truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, and in the process, destroy the "Seed of God" and reveals the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within us, which in maturity bears the "Fruits of God" within us, and the "Sweet Taste of God" within those "Fruits of God", if we like, for the Choice to do this with what God has given us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. But this time, if we like, with "No Child Left Behind", this time with no "Seed of God" appearing again within the "Fruit of God" within us, within the "Sweet Taste of God" within us, this time with nothing still living as "separate from" God within us, this time with everything having given up its duality with God within us, having give up their apparent "separation from" God within us, so God doesn't need to tell His Story again, this time with "God's Story" within us truly becoming "Our Story" within us, allowing us to spend eternity sharing with God what we have learned during the telling of "Our Story". Amen. 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. For example, like the work of the apple seed buried within the earth, is pointing to our work within us, if we like, to our work as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, which is to germinate to the truth within us, and reveal the "Tree of God" within us. And for example, like the "7 Colors of The Rainbow" are all contained within the "white light", and are spread out in the rainbow for us to see, if we like, as the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness within, one within the other, if we like. In this way, with God secretly showing us within our current dream life on the "outside" of us, if we like, what really lies beyond it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. For the Choice to use our life within us, to use our soul life within us, , to join in partnership with God within us, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth within us, revealing the "Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" within us, is our Choice, not God's. And in this way, letting "God's Story" become "Our Story" in our lifetime, or not, that is, or to let our precious life rot and die in our thoughts of "separation and differences", until we die to the flesh in our current state, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice Expanded Overview of Topic 08: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must rdealize that the "outside" of us is not a place to live, but rather is a place to learn, and then to leave, in order to then go to our place to live, which is a place of Light within us, to the next of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, that is, after we have learned all of our lessons here, and have graduated with honors from the "School of Contrast" within us, that in truth we are current attending, if we like, for the Choice to accept our current life, as within us, not as on the "outside" of us, and as attending the "School of Contrast" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, if we like, with each of us coming to the "School of Contrast" within us, which is the earth world within us, in order to learn about what is "separating us" from God within us, and then to leave the earth world within us as a life of light, having learned our lessons, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. This is why we are here, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, to attend and graduate from the "School of Contrast" within us, and return to God within us as His Light within Him within us, before we die to the flesh, not as many of us currently believe, that is, in order to live on the "outside" of us until we die to the flesh, learning about God as much as we can, and then after we die to the flesh, go to another place on the "outside" of us, that we call heaven, so we can be with each other again, and "Near God" for eternity, but still as "separate from" for eternity, that is, still as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, for eternity, all of which is not true. Bawa. For in truth we can only learn about God within us after we have learned about what is currently "separating us" from God within us, after we have joined in partnership with God within us to become a life of light within us, and having graduated from the First of God's Schools within us, have gone off to the Next of God's Schools within us, to the "School of Light" within us, where God will personally and ever so lovingly teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us. Bawa. And in this way, to teach us about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, about the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story which we have come to this earth world, to tell, that is, by joining as "One with" the "Seed of God" within us, which is our soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and with the wisdom surrounding our soul, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) or the Qutb of God within us, in order to liberate our soul within us, in order to properly do battle with the "Enemy of the soul" within us, which in truth is our current life of "selfishness", of "separation and differences", of sin, on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And in this way, by joining in partnership with God within us to close down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, which are the current worlds that form our body below the neck, that is, that form the world below our waist, or false creation, and the world within our stomach, which is false death, and the world within our chest, which is false life, or the life of the impure spirits within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, in this way, allowing the Nur (the body of the soul) and the Qutb (the wisdom surrounding the soul) to emerge out of the Shadow (the cross of the soul) within us, which is our current state, and join together as One, that is, as the "ruh or soul, the wisdom, and the grace" in order to differentiate us into heaven and hell, into good and evil, transforming the qualities of Creation within us into the qualities of God within us, in this way, revealing the wealth of God within us, or the Mubarakat of God within us, the wealth of the 3 worlds within us. Bawa. And in this way re-open the world of souls within us, which is the world within the world within us, which is the "School of Contrast" within us, which is Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, having recovered from His fall within us, with the "Eye of Wisdom" on His forehead permanently open, so satan can never approach Him again, becoming the "Palace of the soul" within us, the "House of wisdom" within us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (peace be upon Him) within us, the sixth level of our wisdom, the wisdom of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, which teaches, analyzes, and controls all lives within us, or Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And opening the kingdom of God within us, or firdaus, which is the world of wisdom within wisdom within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, becoming the "Secret World of Allah" within us, if we like, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Bawa. That is, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of liberating Jesus (peace be upon Him) from His Cross within us, which is our elemental body, using our wisdom or Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, or not, and the Choice of letting our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom find and become "One with" our perfected heart, or not, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, if we like, transforming our heart into the next world or into the "Secret World of Allah" as True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, that is, if we join in partnership with the Creation of God within us, then with God within the Creation of God within us, and finally with True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, to tell and bring to Completion the Story of God and True Man within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, in this way, making "Their Story" into "Our Story". Amen Bawa. Such is what can happen within us, if we like, and such is the true significance of everything that we see on the "outside" of us, as the "Finger of God" on the "outside" of us, point to the truth within us. Bawa. For example, the apple seed buried within the earth is finally left with the same Choice on the "outside" of us, that each of us are current left with within us, that is, to germinate or not to the truth within it, that is, to the "truth of itself", that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and to the "truth of God" within it, that is, to the truth of what God has hidden within the apple seed, which is the apple tree and its fruits. Bawa. In this way, the earth, the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits are in truth the "Finger of God" within us, are trying to tell us a Story on the "outside" of us, a Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", that in truth is pointing to a Story within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, a Story that it can only tell if it joins as "One with" the earth to germinate, that is, to let the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, before it rots and dies in the earth, an act which will truly "Set it Free" for eternity, free from an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. May we all know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly, start to act as "One with" God within us, before it is too late, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and God has to Choose for us, that is, Choose our fate for eternity, by letting the Justice of God within us, send us to either God or hell within us, for in truth there is nothing on the "outside" of us, and there is no other Choice. Bawa. And in this way, unless we allow our soul to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start again on this journey back into God within us, hell will become our lot, that is, unless we join in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, giving up all of our "working for wages" in the current illusory "outside" of us in order to get into the next illusory "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance we now call heaven, all of which is not true, for if we don't, or if we doubt all of this truth, about "us" and about "God within us{", and fail to step in this direction, that is, in the direction of "I am not", and "You are", that is, in the direction of "I do not exist, O God", and "Only You exist, O God", then an eternal hell within us, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, will become our lot. This is certain. This is the truth. Amen Text of Topic 08: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", this in truth is "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening to us", if we like. We are of God within us, just waiting to happen within us, as the "Seed of God" within us, buried within the "Earth" or Creation of God within us, and within that, we are of True Man within us, just waiting to happen within God happening within us, as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, we are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just waiting to be told within us, by God and True Man within us, if we like, if we will only germinate to the truth within us, if we will only let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, for the Choice to let Them tell and bring to Completion "Their Story" within us, is our Choice, not Their Choice, a Story that we came to this earth world, to join with the earth or Creation of God within it, to tell. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, like the apple seed buried within the earth, is the apple tree waiting to happen within the earth, as the "Seed of God" we are God waiting to happen within the Creation of God within us, and like the apple tree growing within the earth is the apple fruit waiting to happen within the apple tree, we are the "Fruit of God" waiting to happen within the "Tree of God" within us, if we like, for the Choice to let this happen within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For just like an apple seed buried within the earth is not about being an apple seed living in the earth, and is not about living in the earth on the "outside" of itself, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, neither are we. Bawa. But rather an apple seed is about what is hidden within it, which is the apple tree and its fruits, it is about the apple tree hidden within it, and it is about what is hidden within the apple tree hidden within it, which are all of the branches, and leaves, and flowers, and fruits of the apple tree, and about the sweet taste within the mature apple fruit, and again about the apple seed, again about the apple seed that falls to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell its story all over again, the story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits", that is, if it likes. 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like, from God within us all, if we like, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Bawa. That is, if the apple seed germinates or not, for not all apple seeds, like not all people, germinate to the truth of themselves, which naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready, when it is ready to both hear it, and to either accept or reject it, which is like what is being said to each of us right now, which in truth is coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, that is, if we like, and certainly not from this fool, that is, coming to us again, as it was said to this child over 30 years ago, that is, if we like, for the Choice to accept it as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For as it was the Choice of this child, not God's, to accept it or not, when this child first heard and accepted these words, so now over 30 years later they come again to each of us, in the form of this "Love Letter" from America, because now it is our time to hear it again, and to either accept or reject it again, that is, to either germinate, or not, to the truth hidden within each of us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, what Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us, over 2000 years ago, and what Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) told us over 1400 years ago, and now in our age, what our dear 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, what His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this letter, is what everyone living in this age must now hear, and either accept or reject, before we die to the flesh in our current state, before we take on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, if we like. Bawa. That is, to hear, and to either accept or reject, that in truth "we" are not about the current us, "we" are not about us living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, a life of sin, on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, 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. Bawa. Nor are we about what we think in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are all doing on the "outside" of us, all of which is also not true. Bawa. But rather we are about God within us, and we are about what is "within God" within us, and we are about what God is doing with what is "within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. For this is the "truth of us", and this is the "truth of God" within us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. And this is the truth behind all of the religions of the world, which has absolutely nothing to do with what the religions of the world are currently trying to teach us, which is all about "our attachments" in the world, our attachments in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Bawa. But this time this truth is being told to us directly from God within us all, with no veils, and everyone in our age will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that is left is "do we want it", do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for the Choice is ours, not God's. And in truth there is no other Choice. 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it, that is, if we will only let it both destroy us, and revealing us, that is, destroy what God is currently showing us, and reveal what God has next to show us, if we like, for the Choice to let our current life and state end, or not, and let what is our next life or state begin, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Bawa. And in this way, each of us is the "Seed of Something Else", each of us is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, each of us is "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. And God within us is also the "Seed of Something Else", God within us, is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, God within us, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, "We are all One", that is, "us", the Creation of God within us, God within us, and True Man within God within us, are all One, One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within it, One hiding itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the next Cycle, in the next Cycle of "God-Man/Man-God". Bawa. Just as the apple seed buried within the earth is the "Seed of Something Else", is the "apple tree happening" within the earth, and the apple tree is the "Seed of Something Else", is the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening" within the apple seed buried within the earth. Bawa. And in this way, "They are all One", that is, "the apple seed", the earth it is buried within, the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree hidden within it, are all One, One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within it, One hiding itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the next Cycle, in the next Cycle of AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree. Bawa. And in this way, "who we are" is in truth "What God is Doing" within each of us, and "where we are" in truth is buried within the "Earth of God" or Creation of God within us, and "What God is Doing" within us, if we will only let Him, is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And God does this by first revealing True Man within God within us, so True Man within God within us can reveal God within True Man within us, and in this way, bring to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, the Story that we came to this earth world within us, to tell, and to let come to Completion within us, if we like. 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", is that what God has shown us in the previous ages on the "outside" of us, about "His Story" within us, we can now experience within us in our age, if we like, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to let Him "Make It So" within us, if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers of the "Planet Mirror", this is "what is happening" in our life, in all life, not what we are currently seeing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, "God is happening", and within that "True Man is happening", all of which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that we came to this earth world, to join with God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to let God happen within the Creation of God within us, and to let True Man happen within God happening within the Creation of God within us, or not, that is, to let God tell His Story within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and to let True Man within God within us bring "Their Story" to Completion within us, or at least to truly start to tell "Their Story" within us, before we die to the flesh, so God within us can then do "Everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, if we will only let Him, and what God is doing within each of us, if we will only let Him, is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And this is the "truth of us", as the "Seed of God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and this is the "truth of God" within us, as the "Seed of True Man happening" within the "Seed of God happening" within the Creation of God within us, all of which is just like the example that God gives us on the "outside", as the "Finger of God" pointing to the truth within us, as the example of the apple seed, the earth, the apple tree, and the apples on the "outside" of us, as the example on the "outside" of us, or as the "Finger of God" on the "outside" of us, pointing us to what can truly occur within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is ours, not God's. 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to let Him tell "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it, before we die to the flesh in our current state, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen Bawa. All of which leads us up to the reason for the name Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that we opened this letter with, which is the name that His Holiness gave to this child in 1980, after this child met His Holiness in America in 1975, a beautiful name and a beautiful teaching. Bawa. Which is the name of the Muhaiyaddeen of God within us, which literally means the "giver of life back to true belief", or the "bringer of the pure light of truth", which in truth is "God's belief in God" within us, coming from within us as the Shaikh or Teacher of this truth for each age. Bawa. A name which first appeared in the world over 1000 years ago, with God sending into the world Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) as the Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen for that age, which in the Islamic traditions is referred to as the fruit of the tree of Iman-Islam, which is the tree and fruit of perfect faith that reflects the light of God for each age, if we like, a name which is the first name that God gives to the "inside" of each of us, when we truly accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is God within us, and what God is doing within us, that is, if we will only let Him, which is telling and bringing to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Bawa. And a beautiful teaching for our age, about this Story within us, about the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and how we can truly establish this "Oneness" within our very own heart, by letting God within us tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and in this way, letting "His Story" within us become "Our Story" within us, if we like. Bawa. A beautiful name and a beautiful teaching that this small child has been studying with His Holiness ever since, even though His Holiness physically left us in 1986, which is the secret within the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age, which truly transcends the grave, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice to truly establish this true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, a relationship with our wisdom, both within us, as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and as God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us). 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, while God is still living within the hearts of His Children for this age, that is, if our soul is to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world, like our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, did so over 20 years ago Bawa. And to do this before we die to the flesh in our current state, so we too can transcend the grave, all of which is our Choice, not our Shaikh's Choice, and certainly not God's Choice within our Shaikh. In this way, may we all make the correct Choice, and Choose "Oneness with", not "separation from", before it is too late, that is, before His Children (peace be upon each of Us) also physically leave the world. Amen. Bawa. For on December 8, 1986 His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) physically left the world, and is buried in a little farming community about an hours ride outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but now lives on within the hearts of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, who in truth are all of us living in the world today, if we like, that is, if our true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Bawa. Which is like the rain returning to the ocean, having completed its duty as rain, again becoming "One with" the ocean, from which it had come, no longer existing as rain, as "separate from" the ocean. Amen. 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" Bawa. And all of this is the reason for the greeting of "My love you (anbu)", also at the beginning of the letter, which is the greeting that His Holiness always uses with us, which is an "egoless greeting", affirming that in truth "We are all One", that in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One". 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 letter, "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love." Bawa. And this is the truth of our age, this is "who we are", and this is "where we are", and this is what is "happening in our life", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or want it or not, because this is the true heritage, the true birthright, of all of us, the true destiny of our soul. Amen. 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within Us - by saying "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the "Name of His Children", living on the "outside" of us, that is, is also the Name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen Bawa. And this is the reason for the use of the word "Bawa" at the beginning of each paragraph in this letter, that is, to affirm this "truth of us", and this "truth of God" within us, that our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and that God within Him, teach us for our age, and that now on the "outside" of us, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, if we like, in this letter to each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" in Australian. Bawa. All of which can be truly appreciated, if we like, by the following short set of quotations from the life and teaching of His Holiness, 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us): 1) "Man is God in the forgetting of himself." 2) "The Justice of God is that whatever we intend is what we will receive." 3) "Nothing will ever leave us until it is understood, for its purpose for being there in the first place, is understanding". 4) "Understanding only occurs through contrast". 5) "The understanding of today becomes the enemy of tomorrow." 6) "What separates us from God is what separates us from each other, and what separates us from each other is what separates us from God". 7) "Our mind (or ego or selfishness or "separation from" God") will only sit down, when our wisdom (or selflessness or "Oneness with" God) stands up". 8) "If we wish to "Merge With God" then we should convert the "Soul Force" into the "Bliss of the Life Force" by "Controlling" the "Pleasurable Senses". If we can do this, we can live without "Tasting Death", and "Remain Immortal". Bawa. And for this child, the name of our wisdom is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, is the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, is the name of the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age. Bawa. And as the name of our wisdom over 3600 years ago was Moses (peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 2000 years ago was "Jesus" (peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 1400 years ago was "Muhammad" (blessing and peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 1000 years ago was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), now in our age, the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, is "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. Which in truth is now the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is the name of each of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. So the writing of the name "Bawa" before each paragraph in this letter, is just that, is inviting our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to stand up, so our mind and desire will sit down, so our ego, our selfishness, our "separation and differences", and all of our "separate from", will sit down, and doing this so that what is shared, either through speech or by writing, is truly coming from our wisdom, and from God within our wisdom, and not just from the drama of our mind and desire, not just from the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", that only keeps us "separate from" God within us, no matter how wonderful or how exalted we may think it may be, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance. Bawa. Starting with the word "Bawa" so that our intention to share from our heart, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", is not coming just from the place of "separation and differences" within us, which is like the dark side of the moon, but rather from the light side of the moon, but rather from God within our wisdom within us, but rather from the "Presence of God" within us. Bawa. Because we have "stepped back" on the "outside" of us, before "saying or doing" anything on the "outside" of us, and have invited God to "step forward" within us, by calling out His Name for our age, in order to affirm the truth within us, to affirm the "Presence of God" within us, by calling out the name of our wisdom, for this age, and the name of God within our wisdom, for this age, by saying the word "Bawa" before we "say or do" or write anything. Amen. Bawa. So They can step forward within us, and be "Present" within us, and reflect their "Presence" within us through the qualities and actions that appear on the "outside" of us, including in the words or writing that comes to the "outside" of us. Bawa. And in this way, transforming our life into the "Truth of us" and into the "Truth of God" within us, allowing the "Truth to surrender to the Truth" within us, allowing the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us to join as "One with" the Creation of God within us in order to germinate, in order to germinate and to reveal and to bring to maturity the "Tree of God' within us, and to bear and to bring to maturity the "Fruits of God" within us, or at least to start to do this "Heart's Work" within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so in truth God within us can then do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, as this small child has, for if we have doubt, then "we are out". Amen. Bawa. In closing, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", this is the truth within us all, that is coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, the truth that God has placed within each of us, even before we were born into this earth world. Bawa. The truth coming to the wisdom surrounding our soul, to awaken it, to awaken it by hearing the "Word of God" for our age, which is its "Mother's Milk", coming in this way to the Children of God for our age, which is all of us living in this age, if we like, to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, so it can do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", which in truth is each of us living on the "outside" of us in our current state of "separation and differences", living as if we are "separate from" God within us, 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. X 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", please forgive this fool if anything that has been shared in this letter upsets or offends any of you, in any way, but this is the "truth of us" for our age, and this is the "truth of God" within us for our age, which we have gladly shared with each of you, at least a very tiny, tiny taste of it, in this very tiny, tiny letter of the heart, if we like. Bawa. And as His Holiness taught us to say, as recorded at the end of the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com), to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), in this Spiritual Letter, "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love" Bawa. And if you would like to learn more about the life and teaching of His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and about some of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), at least about some of them living in America, please click on the following URL: (www.bmf.org), which is the Web Site for the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", which was established by His Holiness in America, from 1971 until 1986 when His Holiness died, with His Holiness at that time being over 160 years old. Bawa. A Web Site that includes the following free On-line Books by His Holiness, which you can access either from the Web Site, or directly by clicking below: 1) Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi (http://www.bmf.org/iswp/index.html) (http://www.bmf.org/godslove/main.html) 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa. homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between the His Children Bawa. Also, if you would to read some more material about His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), please click on the following URL: (www.bawa.homestead.com), which is the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library". Bawa. Which is a Web Site that this child has been working on for the last 10 years, at the feet of our dear 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, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, for the Choice to use our life in this way, and germinate to the truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", you are all very, very good Children of God, whether you know it or not, and even whether you like or want it or not, for in truth this is our true birth right, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul for our age. Bawa. So please do not just discard these beautiful "Words of Wisdom", in this Spiritual Letter, and instead, view them as "our own life speaking to us", view them as the truth that naturally emerges from within us, when we are ready to both hear them, and either accept or reject them, for now, in this age, and now, in each of our lives we are ready, to both hear them, and to either accept or reject them. Bawa. So before we throw the "baby out with the bath water", so to speak, spend a little time with these words, and let them flow into our heart, and awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current state, is our current life of "separation and differences" that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we are trying to live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. May we all try to do this, before it is too late to do this kind of "Heart's Work" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and an eternal hell, an eternal life as "separate from" God becomes our lot. May we all try to do this before at least one of us destroys the "outside" of us for all of us, which is also a very reveal possibility for our age. Ok? Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 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 of the "Planet Mirror" - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

The true "Gift of God" for our age "is us", is us standing in the "Presence of God" within us, so God can then "Cure Himself of us", so God can then cure Himself of His dream, of His dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us", all of which is not true, for in truth until our Judgment we are always "One with" God within us, and God is closer to us than our own breath. Bawa. And in truth "God's Dream" is how God starts to complete His Intention within us, which is that "No Child Be Left Behind", that is, after the Completion of the telling of "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story which if we join in partnership with God within us, that is, if we allow the drream to end, allows God to truly Complete "His Story" within us, ensuring that at the end, "No Child Has Been Left Behind", that at the end, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us, and in this way, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen. Bawa. So "This" is the true "selfless" purpose of our life, within us, with "us" again becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is for God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. And "this" is the "selfish" purpose of our life, which is our current state, which is "us" failing to let our soul again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, which is how each of us are currently trying to live our life, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters, in the world that we see, in our collective ignorance, and in our collective arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, and which now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with God's Permission, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", if we like, of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. Allowing God to "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by closing down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, which are the 3 worlds that we have currently opened within us, below our neck, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as the world of false creation below our waist, as the world of false destruction as our stomach, and as the world of false life as our chest. Bawa. And allowing God to further "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by then re-opening the world of souls within us, which is the world within us that God originally opened within us, when God created our soul, and placed His Wisdom surrounding our soul, before sending our soul to the "First" of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Contrast" within us, for understanding only occurs through contrast, which is the school where we learn about everything that is "separating us" from God within us, which is where the "House of Light" is built for the soul within us, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom", the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with him) within us, which is what the soul needs to go to the "Second" of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us. Bawa. And allowing God to further "Cure Himself of us", if we like, by opening the kingdom of God within us, so God can then "Pass Judgment" upon us, upon the creation of God within us, which in truth is our current state, is who we currently are, that is, the Creation of God within us in the state of incompleteness within us. Bawa. So God can then "Pass Judgment" upon us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. For in truth, if we die to the flesh in our current state an eternal hell within us then becomes our lot, which is but the realization after death of what we have done with our life, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we have "separated ourselves" from "ourselves", from the "oneness of God and True Man" within us, from God within us, and from True Man within God. Bawa. For in truth, "Life is the victory of wisdom reasoning over fate", if we like, returning the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within us, to the state of the 5 Angels within us, to the state of the Angels Gabiel, Michael, Israfiel, Isriel, and Rukiel (peace be upon Them) within us, if they like, allowing us to see and understand for the frist time the "28 Letters of Life" within us, as existing behind the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, which truly make up the parts the body of man within us. Bawa. Allowing the Light within us, that is, the Nur and the Qutb within us, to emerge out of the Shadow within us, out of the 25 letters within us, out of God's Dream within us, out of our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, and gradually become the "Essence of the 28" within us, gradually become the 5 letter from of "Al-hamd" within us. Bawa. That is, gradually becoming "Al-hamd" within us, by first becoming the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, with the 2 that emerge from within us, that is, the Nur and Qutb within us, then gradually joining as "One with" the 3 remaining letters within us, that is, with the 26th, the 27th, and the 28th letter within us, to become the 5 letters or 5 senses within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of Allah" within us, known as "Al-hamd" within us. Amen. Bawa. That is, first with the Light within us, that is, with the Nur and Qutb within us, joined as "One with" the 26th letter within us, which is the 6th level of wisdom within us, or Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, the wisdom that teaches, analyzes, and controls within us, that is, as the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul within us, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, joined as "One with" the liberated soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, in search of the Nur, or the Light of our wisdom within us, which is the Nur Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us. Amen. Bawa. And then joined as "One with" with the 27th letter within us, which is the 7th level of wisdom within us, which is the world of Wisdom within Wisdom within us, opened by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as the kingdom of God or firdaus within us. Bawa. Allowing Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us to go on the journey know in the Islamic tradition as Mi'raj within us, that is to take the 20 year journey within us through the "mim" or mind within us, which in truth is "Our Journey" out of this world within us back into God within us, in the process havesting the "understanding of everything" within us. Bawa. That is, havesting the "understanding of everything" within us from the 70,000 veils of "separation and differences" that naturally grew within our mind within us, within the "mim" of Muhammad (blessing and pleace be upon Him), during the "Journey of our soul" from God within us to the "First" of God's Schools within us. Bawa. That is, that naturally grew within us during the "Journey of our soul" from the world of souls within us, in a state of ignorance, or "Lack of Undertanding" within us, into the earth world within us, that is, into the "School of Contrast" within us, so "we" could learn about "who we already are" within us, which is "Of God" within us, and of what is "within God" within us, and of "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And then, having learned our lessons, having passed our exams, having graduated from the "First" of God's Schools within us, from the "School of Contrast" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, to go off to the "Next" of God's Schools within us, to the "School of Light" within us, that is, to return to God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again, sharing this understanding with God within us for eternity. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, with "Us" gradually becoming the "Form of The Cause" within us, the Form of the Ummul Qur'an within us, the Form of Inner Qur'an within us, the From of the Suratal Fatihah within us, which is the 5 letter form of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", or "Al-hamd" within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of Allah" within us, and in this way, with "Us" gradually coming to "Know the Glory of the Human Form" within us, and if we like, allowing "Us" to "Realize the greater bliss of reaching the Primal One" within us. Amen. [Note: Please see the "Forward" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), as taught in this Spiritual Letter, for more on this wisdom point) Bawa. In this way, eliminating the "Suffering of the Grave" from within us, and bringing the creation of God within us to judgment within us, returning them to the "State of Completion" within us, if they like, and in this way, completing Qiyamah within us, which is "The Standing Forth; The Day of Judgment" within us", before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. With God accomplishing all of this within us, in partnership with "us" within Him, if we like, that is, when we begin to know without the slightest doubt, that the Choice to do this, or not, with our life, that is, the Choice "To Endure this Cure" within us, or not, joined in partnership with God within us, or at least the Choice to truly "Start To Endure It" within us, or not, joined in partnership with God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, within us. Bawa. In this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us, and God joined in partnership with "us" within Him, as "One" within us, to accomplish this "Very Important First Step" within us, on the Journey of God back into God within us. Bawa. That is, the "Very Important First Step" within us, which both ends God's dream within us, and ends our current state on the "outside" of us, which is sort of like the "Tip of God's Arrow" within us piercing and ending God's Dream within us, piercing and ending His dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us", all of which is not true, so God within us, and us within God, as "One" within us, can then do "Everything Else" within us, in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Amen. ============================================================== Main Menu: - or "Table of Contents" for Spiritual Letter 84 ----------------- (STATUS) Go To: Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Go To: Alternate Versions - of Spiritual Letter 84 Text Only Version - shortest version, none to 1 outline, none to short summaries ---------------------------------------------- (In Process) E-mail Version - next shortest version, 1 to 2 outlines, short to expanded summaries -------------------------------------- (Available) (On-line Version of the "E-mail" that was sent to you) (The page you are currently reading) Outline & Summary - of E-mail Version Outline & Summary Version - longest version, 2 to 3 outlines, multiple summaries ------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) Go To: Expanded Material - for Spiritual Letter 84 Expanded Topics Expanded Overviews ------------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) Go To: Support Material - for Spiritual Letter 84 E-mail Alert Related Material ------------------------------------------------------------------ (In Process) About Spiritual Letter ----------------------------------------------------------- (In Process) ============================================================== Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Expanded Version of The Title: Bawa. Here is a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 84", which "We" have given the title, as follows, "The True Gift of God For Our Age Is Us, Is Us Standing In the "Presence of God" Within Us". Bawa. And which in its Expanded Form, can be understood as follows, "The True Gift of God For Our Age Is Us, Is Us Standing In the "Presence of God" Within Us". "So God Can Then "Cure Himself of Us", So God Can Then Cure Himself of His Dream, Of His Dream of "Us" Living On The "Outside" of Us, As If We Are "Separate From" God Within Us". "So God Can Then "Pass Judgment" Upon Us, Upon The Creation of God Within Us, Which In Truth Is Our Current State, Is Who We Currently Are". "So God Can Then "Pass Judgment" Upon Us, Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State, In Our Current State of Living On The "Outside" of Us, As If We Are "Separate From" God Within us, All of Which Is Not True". "For In Truth, If We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State An Eternal Hell Within Us Then Becomes Our Lot, Which Is But The Realization After Death Of What We Have Done With Our Life, In Our Ignorance, And In Our Arrogance About Our Ignorance, That We Have "Separated Ourselves" From "Ourselves", From the "Oneness of God and True Man" Within Us, From God Within Us, And From True Man Within God". "For In Truth, Life Is The Victory of Wisdom Reasoning Over Fate, If We Like, Returning The 5 Ruhanies or Elemental Spirits Within Us, To The State of the 5 Angels Within us, If They Like, In This Way, Eliminating The "Suffering of The Grave" Within Us, And Bringing the Creation of God To Judgment Within Us, Returning Them To The "State of Completion" Within Us, If They Like, And In This Way, Completing Qiyamah Within Us, Which Is The "Standing Forth; The Day of Judgment" Within Us Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State". "With Us Knowing Without The Slightest Doubt, That The Choice To "Endure This Cure", Or Not, Within Us, Or At Least To Truly Start "To Endure It" Within Us, In Partnership With God Within Us, Is Most Certainly Our Choice, Not God's Choice, Within Us". "So God Can Then Do "Everything Else" Within Us, To Make Our Life Truly Successful In Our Lifetime, Before We Die To The Flesh In Our Current State. Amen." Bawa. A Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brothers and sisters of "Planet Mirror", and to our dearest loving brothers and sisters of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", all who in truth are the Children of God for our age, if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for the life within us, for our soul life, is to again becocome "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen. [Note: The "Planet Mirror" is an amazing Computer "Plus" Company, an Australian registered company with experience in establishing and operating mirror sites, Internet archives and other internet-based services. To access the Web Site for Planet Mirror please click HERE (www.PlanetMirror.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And like the "Planet Mirror", the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship" (www.bmf. org) is an amazing God registered company with experience in opening the heart, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get hell as our lot, for in truth, "Hell is simply the realization after our physical death of what we have done with our life before our death, that we have "separated ourselves" from God within us." Bawa. That is, the realization after our physical death that we have "separated ourselves" from "Ourselves", from the "truth of us" and from the "truth of God" within us, a truth that we have came here to join in partnership with God within us to reveal, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. For if we fail to accomplish this transformation of state or consciousness in our lifetime, from the illusory "outside" of us to the very real but false inside of us, and within that, to the very real and true inside of us, which is what is wiithin God within us, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, or fail to at least truly start to do this within us, joined in partnership with God within us, then hell, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, becomes our lot for eternity. Bawa. With us then suffering after our physical death a fate similar to the apple seed that fails to germinate in the earth, that fails to germinate to the truth hidden within itself, that is, that fails to reveal the apple tree and the apple fruits hidden within it, and instead, upon hearing the truth that naturally emerge from within it, that is, when it is ready to both hear it and either accept or reject it (sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us), rejects this truth of itself, and instead rots and dies in the earth, in this way, becoming subject to 105 million rebirths, but ever again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. Bawa. And in this way, hell is an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, not anything that exists on the "outside" of us, as many of us still believe in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance. Bawa. And may God help us all realize, understand, and accept that in truth the Choice of heaven or hell, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of either an eternal "Oneness with" God within us or the Choice of an eternal "separation from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we will spend eternity within us, either as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's, and that in truth, there is no other Choice. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. That is, a a beautiful Spiritual Letter 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. 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, Bawa. When asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" Bawa. 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. 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). ============================================================== Outline & Summary - of "E-mail Version" "Brief Outline" - of "Spiritual Letter 84" Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 84 Greetings - heart to heart, if we like Page 1 - the page you are currently reading 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age "Is Us" - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play" 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils", and everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is "Do we want it" 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to make "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within Us - by saying the "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) living on the "outside" of us 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love". Enjoy 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa.homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot. Amen ============================================================== "Expanded Outline" - of "Spiritual Letter 83" Page 1 - the page you are currently reading Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 83 Greetings - heart to heart, if we like 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age Is Us - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to establish "His Presence" within us, and in this way, to join with the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, in order to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within us, and in this way, to make "God's Story" into "Our Story" within us, or at least to start to do this within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God can then do "Everything Else" within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, all of the "Baby Birds" who have been kicked out of the nest by the "Mother Bird", by "Bawa", are now "Ready to fly", are ready to live as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, because in truth "We are All One". Now all that is left is, "Do we want it", do we truly want "Oneness with" God for eternity? For the Choice is ours, not God's. Thanks be to God. Al-hamdu lillah, all praise and praising belongs to God and to God alone. Allahu Akbar, only God is Great. Amen 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play", and the only way "Not to play" is to "Escape" the "outside" of us, and the only way to "Escape" the "outside" of us, is to "Disappear into God" within us, and the only way to "Disappear into God" within us, is to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and the only way to establish the "Presence of God" within us, is to invoke the "Name of God" for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and the Name of God" for our age is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "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 also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, for the Choice to accept this about "us" and about God within us, that in truth we are "All One", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, and if we do, if we step out to do this direction in our life, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that would be very good, that is, if we join in partnership with God within us, to start to live this way, as "One with", both within us and on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then God within us will do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, for this is "God's Promise" for our age, this is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all reflect on this a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, that is, start to act as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, before it is too late to live this way. That would be very good. Amen 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach, for if we pray to God as a Christian "separate from" the Jews and the Muslims, or as a Jew "separate from" the Christians and the Muslims, or as a Muslim "separate from" the Jews and the Christians, then God cannot accept our prayers, because they are prayers of "separation and differences" and God is One, God has no "separation and differences", God is "One with" all of us, within us, no matter what we may be practicing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance on the "outside" of us, and only when we all come together in this way, that is, under "One Tent" within us, and as One pray to the "One God" within us all, will God hear our prayers 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils", and everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is "Do we want it". All of which is happening right now in our age, for example in this Spiritual Letter from God within us all, if we like, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, and as each of us hears this final teaching of God for our age, and understands it, all that is left is "Do we want it", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and in the truth this is the only Choice in our life, God or hell, not God and heaven or hell. Because any heaven that we can imagine with our mind and desire will gradually become our hell, after we die to the flesh, as we gradually realize what we have done with our life, that in truth all that we have succeeded in doing with our life within us is have "separated ourselves" from God within us, rather than letting our soul again join as "One with" God within us, as is God's intention for us. And in this way, with our imaginary heaven on the "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, gradually becoming our eternal hell within us, because it is still an eternal "separation from" God within us, no matter what we may choose to call it. Such is our fate, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, God or hell, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, and in this way, in the end, God simply gives us exactly what we want, that is, what we have told God over and over again that we want for eternity, as we lived our short life in the world, either "Oneness with" or "separation from", that we have told God over and over again, not just by our words, but rather by our actions, by the way that we have lived our short life in the world, that is, living out our short life in the world as either as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, as God tries to show us, over and over again, that in truth, "We are all One", like in this Spiritual Letter, that is, until we die to the flesh, when the house we build is the one we move into, and the crop that we have sown is the one that we harvest. In this way, may our eternal House and Crop be His, not ours, not ours as "separate from" God within us. Amen 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. For example, like the work of the apple seed buried within the earth, is pointing to our work within us, if we like, to our work as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, which is to germinate to the truth within us, and reveal the "Tree of God" within us. And for example, like the "7 Colors of The Rainbow" are all contained within the "white light", and are spread out in the rainbow for us to see, if we like, as the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness within, one within the other, if we like. In this way, with God secretly showing us within our current dream life on the "outside" of us, if we like, what really lies beyond it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. For the Choice to use our life within us, to use our soul life within us, , to join in partnership with God within us, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth within us, revealing the "Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" within us, is our Choice, not God's. And in this way, letting "God's Story" become "Our Story" in our lifetime, or not, that is, or to let our precious life rot and die in our thoughts of "separation and differences", until we die to the flesh in our current state, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like, from God within us all, if we like, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it, that is, if we will only let it both destroy us, and revealing us, that is, destroy what God is currently showing us, and reveal what God has next to show us, if we like, for the Choice to let our current life and state end, or not, and let what is our next life or state begin, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", is that what God has shown us in the previous ages on the "outside" of us, about "His Story" within us, we can now experience within us in our age, if we like, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to let Him "Make It So" within us, if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to let Him tell "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it, before we die to the flesh in our current state, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, while God is still living within the hearts of His Children for this age, that is, if our soul is to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world, like our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, did so over 20 years ago 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within us - by saying the "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the "Name of His Children", living on the "outside" of us, that is, is also the Name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love" 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa.homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between the His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, for the Choice to use our life in this way, and germinate to the truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen ============================================================== Text of E-mail Version - for "Spiritual Letter 84" Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. 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 brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 01. Thank You For Your Help - and we have a couple of questions Bawa. Thank you very much for the wonderful service that you are providing, it is very helpful for those of us who are struggling to use the Internet on the many older computer platforms, platforms that have been discarded along the way, by many, for the newer and equally more complicated platforms, that in truth do just the same, but only faster, but for what purpose, that is, when we have yet to discover how to use the older ones properly. What to do? Bawa. We are in the process of trying to restore and upgrade a PowerPC, that is, a Macintosh Performa 6400/200, using the latest software that will run on it. The original operating system was a MAC 7.5.3, which was later upgraded with the current operating system, which is a MAC 8.5. Bawa. We have already loaded on AOL 5.0 which runs, but with some difficulties, mainly it freezes up sometimes, with certain functions, and we need to reboot. Also, we have loaded on Netscape 6 which runs, but also with some difficulties, mainly that it is slow. Bawa. The current memory settings are as follows: 1) Disk Cache: Set at "Default setting", with default estimated size at start up of 1536K. We could make this number higher or lower by selecting "Custom Setting", and changing 1536K either up or down. 2) Virtual Memory On Hard Drive: With "Available for use" on disk listed at 307M, and with "Available build-in memory" listed at 48M. We can set this Virtual Memory number up or down if we like, up to 307M and down to 49M. Currently it is set at 100M. Bawa. And then today, using the download we got from you last night, which was, "InternetExplorer502EN.bin", we have tried to load Internet Explorer 5.02 but it stopped, and didn't load, when trying to install the "Microsoft Internet Library", giving us the following Error Message, "The application "Microsoft Internet First Run" has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 3 occurred." Bawa. So here are our 4 questions: First: What can we do to fix this problem, of Internet Explorer 5 not installing, of the installation stopping with a type 3 error? Second: Do we have the right download for this Platform? There are five files that we can download from the "Planet Mirror", and we downloaded the first one. Is this the right one, that is, of the five files that we find listed when we do a search of "Internet Explorer 5" on Planet Mirror, as follows: 1) InternetExplorer502EN.bin (the one we downloaded and tried to install) 2) InternetExplorer516EN.bin 3) InternetExplorer502EN.hqx 4) InternetExplorer522EN.bin 5) InternetExplorer522EN.dmg Third: Are our memory settings correct for maximum performance? Fourth: What additional upgrades or downloads could we do to improve performance, using the existing platform. Bawa. All help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 02. The True "Gift of God" For Our Age "Is Us" - is each of "us", is "us" standing in the "Presence of God" within us, if we like, which in truth is "God's Love" within us, which in truth is "God's Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to establish "His Presence" within us, and in this way, to join with the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, in order to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within us, and in this way, to make "God's Story" into "Our Story" within us, or at least to start to do this within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God can then do "Everything Else" within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen Bawa. And now for a little sharing of "God's Love", from our heart to your heart, if we like, that is, a little bit about the life of this child, and how it was all changed 30 years ago, when we met a true Holy Man in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, in the "City of Brotherly Love". Bawa. That is, when "Louie meets Bawa", at the age of 36 years old, in 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and the "night is finally over" within us, when the true "Gift of God" for our age is revealed, understood, and accepted within us, for all of us, if we like, for in truth "We are all One". Bawa. The True "Gift of God" for our age which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us all, that is, if we truly allow it to start up again within us, a Story which stopped within us when, "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself (within himself) although God exists within man." [Note: This is a beautiful quotation from the first line of the "Forward" of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", by 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, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like. To access the full text of the "Forward", please click above or HERE (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com), and to access some of the Chapters in the book "The Pearl of Wisdom", please click above or HERE (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And a Story that starts up again within us, in our age, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us becomes Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that is, and the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. In this way, transforming Him and all of us, if we like, into the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age, within each of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, for in our age, this is now our true heritage, our true birth right, the destiny of our soul, for our age, allowing God within us to finish what God has started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, that is, to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, that is, to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, if we will only let Him, if we will only join Him in what He is now doing within all of us, if we will only let Him make "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen. Bawa. That is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. 03. And Louie Meets Bawa - and Bawa meets Louie, and the "Night is finally over", for all of us, if we like, that is, the "Time of darkness" in our life is finally over, and the "Time of light" in our life begins, for all of us, if we like, for since in truth "We are All One", if "One of us" successfully does it, then in truth "We have all done it", whether we know it, or not, and even whether we like it or want it, or not, for in truth "All of us" can now fly, all of the "Baby Birds" who have been kicked out of the nest by the "Mother Bird", by "Bawa", are now "Ready to fly", are ready to live as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, because in truth "We are All One". Now all that is left is, "Do we want it", do we truly want "Oneness with" God for eternity? For the Choice is ours, not God's. Thanks be to God. Al-hamdu lillah, all praise and praising belongs to God and to God alone. Allahu Akbar, only God is Great. Amen Bawa. In this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", in 1975 Louie meets Bawa, and Bawa meets Louie, and in truth our age begins, and the last age ends, at least within Louie, but if we like, within all of us, that is, Louie meets a true Holy Man when Louie is 36 years old, and the true Holy Man for our age meets Louie when He is well over 160 years old, which was the true turning point in all of our lives, both in the life of us living in this age, and in the life of the Holy Man, because in truth, "We are all One", that is, "us" within the Creation of God within us, the Creation of God within us, God within us, and True Man within God within us, "We are all One". Bawa. As in truth, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", so are we, that is, "We are all One", if we like, because in truth, as it is said in the Islamic tradition, as the very heart of the Islamic teaching, if we like, "La illaha, Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasul Allah". Which can be translated into English to mean, "There is nothing other than God, You are God, And Muhammad (True Man happening) is the Messenger (the Wisdom) of God". Bawa. And now in our age, this has become, if we like, (Bawa) IIl Allahu - You are Allah. (Bawa) La illaha - There is nothing other than You. (Bawa) Muhammad Mustafa Rasul (Sal.) - Muhammad (True Man happening) is the Chosen Messenger of God (blessing and peace be upon Him). (Bawa) You are True Man. (Bawa) He is One. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", over the last 30 years, this "Resonance of God" within us for our age has grown within the heart of this child, while living at the feet of God for our age, which for our age, is our dear 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 His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, as the Children of God for our age, if we like. 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, for example in the following quotation from "The Kalimah Song" (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com), that His Holiness, and God within Him, sang to us on April 26, 1972, and now on the "outside" of us, that His Children are teaching us about right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "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 (the liberated soul) and the light (the awakened wisdom) stand in unison. 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". "Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen. Know that this is the beauty of the form and recite it like this. Al-hamdu lillah. Rabil Alameen." Bawa. With this child gradually discovering during this 30 years that our dear 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, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are in truth the "Gift of God" for our age, are in truth the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, are in truth the "Word of God" for our age, are the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept each of us as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For in truth His Holiness is not a person, and neither are we, neither are any of us, that is just the dream, and in this way, His Holiness came to show us "who we are", when the dream ends, not who He is, to show us "where we are", when the dream ends, not where He is, and to show us "what is happening" in our life, when the dream ends, not what is happening in His life. Bawa. Such is the "truth of us" and the "truth of God" within us, which is our "Oneness", for in truth "We are all One", that is, "One with", not "separate from", and in this way, we are not what we currently think we are, and our brothers and sisters are not what we currently think they are, and God is not what we currently think God is, and the Creation of God is not what we currently think the Creation is, and the world is not what we currently think the world is, that is, us, our brothers and sisters, the Creation of God, and the world that we see in our collective ignorance, and in our collective arrogance as all existing on the "outside" of us, all existing as if "We are all separate", which is just not true. Bawa. In this way, His Holiness is not a person, and neither are we, any more than Moses, or Jesus (peace be upon Them), or Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) is a person, if we like, for the Choice to view God within us, and all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within God within us, and "us" buried within the Creation of God within us, as "One", and not as "separate", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, each of us in truth is the Child of God for our age, if we like, which for our age is the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is just the "One Child" within each of us, and since in truth we are all "One", if this "One Child of God" for our age comes to maturity in any of us, it has come to maturity within all of us, and the only question left, is "Do we want It", do we want to become "One with" this "One Child of God" for our age, before we die to the flesh in our current state, or not, in this way, becoming again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, if we like. Bawa. For such is the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, for our age, which is the life and teaching of 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), whether we know it or not, whether we have met Him or His Children or not, or even whether we know who He is, or who His Children are, or not, it doesn't matter, because it is the truth within 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. 04. The Only True Choice of Our Life - is the Choice between "Oneness with" verses "separation from", for in truth there is no other Choice, everything else is just "drama", the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", on the "outside" of us, and the only way to win this drama of the "outside" of us, is "Not to play", and the only way "Not to play" is to "Escape" the "outside" of us, and the only way to "Escape" the "outside" of us, is to "Disappear into God" within us, and the only way to "Disappear into God" within us, is to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and the only way to establish the "Presence of God" within us, is to invoke the "Name of God" for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and the Name of God" for our age is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "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 also the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, for the Choice to accept this about "us" and about God within us, that in truth we are "All One", is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen Bawa. For in truth each of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God that came into the world, over and over again, in previous ages, were really about something else, were really about something other than us, with us in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, turning each of Them (peace be upon Them) into a religion on the "outside" of us, including Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, turning Them and Their life and teaching into a religion or path of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us. What to do? Bawa. For example, we turned Them (peace be upon Them) into the religion of Hinduism, and of Zoroastrianism, and of Christianity, and of Islam or Judaism on the "outside" of us, which we still see reflections of even today in our age, but by doing so we truly "missed the point", the point of Them, of God within Them, and of each of us, for in truth "We are all One", that is, God within us, what is "within God" within us, and us, are in truth all One, like the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits are in truth all One. Bawa. For in truth They (peace be upon Them) are not about us continuing to live on the "outside" of us, until we die to the flesh, continuing to live in our current state of "separation and differences", of "separation from", of "separation from" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, They are really about something else. Bawa. They (peace be upon Them) are really about God and us within us, about God, us, and the relationship between God and us, within us, They (peace be upon Them) are really about God within us, and about what is "within God" within us, and about what God is doing with what is "within God" within us, They (peace be upon Them) are really about something which only in our current age can we begin to truly appreciate and follow, if we like. 05. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's - is the Choice to live our life as God intended for us to live it, both now and for eternity, that is, as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other within us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, and if we do, if we step out to do this direction in our life, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that would be very good, that is, if we join in partnership with God within us, to start to live this way, as "One with", both within us and on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then God within us will do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, for this is "God's Promise" for our age, this is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all reflect on this a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, that is, start to act as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, before it is too late to live this way. That would be very good. Amen Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to use our life as God intended it to be used, within us, not on the "outside" of us, and as "One with" everything within us, not as "separate from" everything on the "outside" of us, that is, to use our life as God sees us, and as God is trying to use us, if we will only let Him, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. That is, to use our life as the Creation of God existing within us, and within that, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and within that, as True Man happening within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, as the apple seed buried within the earth is really the "apple tree happening" within the earth, and within that, is really the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening' within the earth, if it likes, for the Choice to germinate, or not, to use its life in this way or not, that is, to reveal what is hidden within it, or not, is its Choice, not God's. Bawa. And in this way, the Choice to live our life again as "One with" God within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leaves us again, that is, the Choice to live our life as God's answer to God's Question within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, of God's Question of Himself within us, of the question "Who am I?", that is, the Choice to tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, the Choice to think about God and us in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, as "One with", not as we like to think about ourselves and God and each other and the Creation of God, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, that is, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true, and all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's. 06. The Main Point In All Religions - should be Oneness and Unity, Justice and Truth, Compassion and Unity within us, for this is what each Prophet of God brought and taught, not "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as many currently preach, for if we pray to God as a Christian "separate from" the Jews and the Muslims, or as a Jew "separate from" the Christians and the Muslims, or as a Muslim "separate from" the Jews and the Christians, then God cannot accept our prayers, because they are prayers of "separation and differences" and God is One, God has no "separation and differences", God is "One with" all of us, within us, no matter what we may be practicing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance on the "outside" of us, and only when we all come together in this way, that is, under "One Tent" within us, and "as One" pray to the "One God" within us all, will God hear our prayers Bawa. For example, what we now refer to in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as the religion of the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) or Judaism, as the religion of the followers of Jesus (peace be upon Him) or Christianity, and as the religion of the followers of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) or Islam, are in truth about "what God is doing" within each of us, if we will only let Him, which is something which only now in our age, that God can truly finish within us, if we will only let Him. Bawa. And in this way, in truth nothing that Moses or Jesus (peace be upon Them), or Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) told us, was about us, was about any of us, or was about what we think in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are doing on the "outside" of us, in any way, shape, or form, a teaching that only a few, if any, of the people of these previous ages could, or wanted to understand. Bawa. This is why Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us the following over 2000 years ago, as recorded by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him), as the first and last disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him), as recorded in the Holy Bible, in the "Gospel of John", in "Chapter 16", Verse 12, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." 07. At The End of Time - which is now, which is our age, God will send One who will explain again everything that has been explained before, but this time with "No Veils" Expanded Overview of Topic 07: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must understand the Time or age that we are currently in, and not get confused by the times or ages that are now passed, which in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we mistakenly identify with, and see as all one, with our age being the successful completion of what came before, which is not true, not realizing that in truth this is the "End of Time", the "Final Judgment" of God, when in truth God sends His "Final Representative" to explain again all that was explained before, but this time with "No Veils", that was explained before by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, who came into the world, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, that is, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world, to seek salvation for Themselves and for their Children (please be upon us all), which They did, and we have yet to do. Bawa. And when this Final Representative of God comes into the world, to give the final teaching of God, to the Children of God, for our age, everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that is left is "Do we want it". Bawa. That is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for this is the only true Choice left in our life, and this is what we have come to this earth world in this age to do, to make this Choice, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and receive an eternal life as "separate from" God as our default Choice, that is, if we fail to Choose before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. And in this case, if we have failed to make our Choice, before we die to the flesh in our current state, then in truth the Justice of God within us makes the final Choice for us, giving us either God or hell as our lot, giving us either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us as our reward, as our reward for having come to this world, to the earth world within us, for a very short time. Bawa. And in this way "Our Very Own Life" answers the "Question of Our Life", the question, "What do we want for eternity", giving us at the end either an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or giving us in the end an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and there is no other Choice, and a "No Choice" is a Choice, is a Choice of eternal "separation from" God within us. Bawa. And in this way, whichever one we Choose, or is Chosen for us, it is our actions, not just our words, that determine our eternal fate, that is, it is how we have lived our very short life in the world, either as "One with" or as "separate from", that becomes our reward for eternity, for according to the "Justice of God" within us, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive" Text of Topic 07: Bawa. And now in our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" comes His Holiness and His Children, comes the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), to tell us again the same truth, as told to us by Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), but this time with "No Veils", but now a truth that we can bear to hear, not like in previous ages, but still a truth that most of us do not really want to hear. Bawa. To tell us that in truth "we" are not really about the current "us", that is, about "us" living a life of "separation and differences" 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 living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true, for in truth "We are all One", nor are "we" about "what we think that we are doing" on the "outside" of us, no matter how wonderful or exalted it may appear to be, for in truth we are about "God within us", and about what is "within God" within us, and about what "God is doing" with what is "within God" within us. Bawa. And what "God is doing" with what is "within God" within us is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, is telling and bringing to Completion of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, that if we will only let Him, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to allow the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, to germinate to the Truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, and in the process, destroy the "Seed of God" and reveals the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within us, which in maturity bears the "Fruits of God" within us, and the "Sweet Taste of God" within those "Fruits of God", if we like, for the Choice to do this with what God has given us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. But this time, if we like, with "No Child Left Behind", this time with no "Seed of God" appearing again within the "Fruit of God" within us, within the "Sweet Taste of God" within us, this time with nothing still living as "separate from" God within us, this time with everything having given up its duality with God within us, having give up their apparent "separation from" God within us, so God doesn't need to tell His Story again, this time with "God's Story" within us truly becoming "Our Story" within us, allowing us to spend eternity sharing with God what we have learned during the telling of "Our Story". Amen. 08. The Finger of God - is always pointing to the truth within us, as beautiful examples on the apparent "outside" of us, of what we can do "with our life" within us, with our soul life, if we like, like merge with God within us, before we die to the flesh in current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, if we like, that is, if we only have the eyes to see. For example, like the work of the apple seed buried within the earth, is pointing to our work within us, if we like, to our work as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, which is to germinate to the truth within us, and reveal the "Tree of God" within us. And for example, like the "7 Colors of The Rainbow" are all contained within the "white light", and are spread out in the rainbow for us to see, if we like, as the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness within, one within the other, if we like. In this way, with God secretly showing us within our current dream life on the "outside" of us, if we like, what really lies beyond it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. For the Choice to use our life within us, to use our soul life within us, , to join in partnership with God within us, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth within us, revealing the "Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" within us, is our Choice, not God's. And in this way, letting "God's Story" become "Our Story" in our lifetime, or not, that is, or to let our precious life rot and die in our thoughts of "separation and differences", until we die to the flesh in our current state, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice Expanded Overview of Topic 08: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must rdealize that the "outside" of us is not a place to live, but rather is a place to learn, and then to leave, in order to then go to our place to live, which is a place of Light within us, to the next of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, that is, after we have learned all of our lessons here, and have graduated with honors from the "School of Contrast" within us, that in truth we are current attending, if we like, for the Choice to accept our current life, as within us, not as on the "outside" of us, and as attending the "School of Contrast" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, if we like, with each of us coming to the "School of Contrast" within us, which is the earth world within us, in order to learn about what is "separating us" from God within us, and then to leave the earth world within us as a life of light, having learned our lessons, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. This is why we are here, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, to attend and graduate from the "School of Contrast" within us, and return to God within us as His Light within Him within us, before we die to the flesh, not as many of us currently believe, that is, in order to live on the "outside" of us until we die to the flesh, learning about God as much as we can, and then after we die to the flesh, go to another place on the "outside" of us, that we call heaven, so we can be with each other again, and "Near God" for eternity, but still as "separate from" for eternity, that is, still as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, for eternity, all of which is not true. Bawa. For in truth we can only learn about God within us after we have learned about what is currently "separating us" from God within us, after we have joined in partnership with God within us to become a life of light within us, and having graduated from the First of God's Schools within us, have gone off to the Next of God's Schools within us, to the "School of Light" within us, where God will personally and ever so lovingly teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us. Bawa. And in this way, to teach us about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, about the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story which we have come to this earth world, to tell, that is, by joining as "One with" the "Seed of God" within us, which is our soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and with the wisdom surrounding our soul, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) or the Qutb of God within us, in order to liberate our soul within us, in order to properly do battle with the "Enemy of the soul" within us, which in truth is our current life of "selfishness", of "separation and differences", of sin, on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And in this way, by joining in partnership with God within us to close down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, which are the current worlds that form our body below the neck, that is, that form the world below our waist, or false creation, and the world within our stomach, which is false death, and the world within our chest, which is false life, or the life of the impure spirits within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, in this way, allowing the Nur (the body of the soul) and the Qutb (the wisdom surrounding the soul) to emerge out of the Shadow (the cross of the soul) within us, which is our current state, and join together as One, that is, as the "ruh or soul, the wisdom, and the grace" in order to differentiate us into heaven and hell, into good and evil, transforming the qualities of Creation within us into the qualities of God within us, in this way, revealing the wealth of God within us, or the Mubarakat of God within us, the wealth of the 3 worlds within us. Bawa. And in this way re-open the world of souls within us, which is the world within the world within us, which is the "School of Contrast" within us, which is Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, having recovered from His fall within us, with the "Eye of Wisdom" on His forehead permanently open, so satan can never approach Him again, becoming the "Palace of the soul" within us, the "House of wisdom" within us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (peace be upon Him) within us, the sixth level of our wisdom, the wisdom of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, which teaches, analyzes, and controls all lives within us, or Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And opening the kingdom of God within us, or firdaus, which is the world of wisdom within wisdom within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, becoming the "Secret World of Allah" within us, if we like, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Bawa. That is, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of liberating Jesus (peace be upon Him) from His Cross within us, which is our elemental body, using our wisdom or Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, or not, and the Choice of letting our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom find and become "One with" our perfected heart, or not, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. In this way, if we like, transforming our heart into the next world or into the "Secret World of Allah" as True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, that is, if we join in partnership with the Creation of God within us, then with God within the Creation of God within us, and finally with True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, to tell and bring to Completion the Story of God and True Man within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's, in this way, making "Their Story" into "Our Story". Amen Bawa. Such is what can happen within us, if we like, and such is the true significance of everything that we see on the "outside" of us, as the "Finger of God" on the "outside" of us, point to the truth within us. Bawa. For example, the apple seed buried within the earth is finally left with the same Choice on the "outside" of us, that each of us are current left with within us, that is, to germinate or not to the truth within it, that is, to the "truth of itself", that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and to the "truth of God" within it, that is, to the truth of what God has hidden within the apple seed, which is the apple tree and its fruits. Bawa. In this way, the earth, the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits are in truth the "Finger of God" within us, are trying to tell us a Story on the "outside" of us, a Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", that in truth is pointing to a Story within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, a Story that it can only tell if it joins as "One with" the earth to germinate, that is, to let the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, before it rots and dies in the earth, an act which will truly "Set it Free" for eternity, free from an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. May we all know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly, start to act as "One with" God within us, before it is too late, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and God has to Choose for us, that is, Choose our fate for eternity, by letting the Justice of God within us, send us to either God or hell within us, for in truth there is nothing on the "outside" of us, and there is no other Choice. Bawa. And in this way, unless we allow our soul to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start again on this journey back into God within us, hell will become our lot, that is, unless we join in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, giving up all of our "working for wages" in the current illusory "outside" of us in order to get into the next illusory "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance we now call heaven, all of which is not true, for if we don't, or if we doubt all of this truth, about "us" and about "God within us{", and fail to step in this direction, that is, in the direction of "I am not", and "You are", that is, in the direction of "I do not exist, O God", and "Only You exist, O God", then an eternal hell within us, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, will become our lot. This is certain. This is the truth. Amen Text of Topic 08: Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", this in truth is "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening to us", if we like. We are of God within us, just waiting to happen within us, as the "Seed of God" within us, buried within the "Earth" or Creation of God within us, and within that, we are of True Man within us, just waiting to happen within God happening within us, as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, we are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just waiting to be told within us, by God and True Man within us, if we like, if we will only germinate to the truth within us, if we will only let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, for the Choice to let Them tell and bring to Completion "Their Story" within us, is our Choice, not Their Choice, a Story that we came to this earth world, to join with the earth or Creation of God within it, to tell. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, like the apple seed buried within the earth, is the apple tree waiting to happen within the earth, as the "Seed of God" we are God waiting to happen within the Creation of God within us, and like the apple tree growing within the earth is the apple fruit waiting to happen within the apple tree, we are the "Fruit of God" waiting to happen within the "Tree of God" within us, if we like, for the Choice to let this happen within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For just like an apple seed buried within the earth is not about being an apple seed living in the earth, and is not about living in the earth on the "outside" of itself, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, neither are we. Bawa. But rather an apple seed is about what is hidden within it, which is the apple tree and its fruits, it is about the apple tree hidden within it, and it is about what is hidden within the apple tree hidden within it, which are all of the branches, and leaves, and flowers, and fruits of the apple tree, and about the sweet taste within the mature apple fruit, and again about the apple seed, again about the apple seed that falls to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell its story all over again, the story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits", that is, if it likes. 09. The Truth Naturally Emerges From Within Us - when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, which is sort of like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of us, to the Children of God for our age, which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like, from God within us all, if we like, for the Choice to accept these words, or not, as this, as truly coming from God within us all, and not just from this fool, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Bawa. That is, if the apple seed germinates or not, for not all apple seeds, like not all people, germinate to the truth of themselves, which naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready, when it is ready to both hear it, and to either accept or reject it, which is like what is being said to each of us right now, which in truth is coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, that is, if we like, and certainly not from this fool, that is, coming to us again, as it was said to this child over 30 years ago, that is, if we like, for the Choice to accept it as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. For as it was the Choice of this child, not God's, to accept it or not, when this child first heard and accepted these words, so now over 30 years later they come again to each of us, in the form of this "Love Letter" from America, because now it is our time to hear it again, and to either accept or reject it again, that is, to either germinate, or not, to the truth hidden within each of us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, what Moses and Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us, over 2000 years ago, and what Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) told us over 1400 years ago, and now in our age, what our dear 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, what His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this letter, is what everyone living in this age must now hear, and either accept or reject, before we die to the flesh in our current state, before we take on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, if we like. Bawa. That is, to hear, and to either accept or reject, that in truth "we" are not about the current us, "we" are not about us living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, a life of sin, on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, 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. Bawa. Nor are we about what we think in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are all doing on the "outside" of us, all of which is also not true. Bawa. But rather we are about God within us, and we are about what is "within God" within us, and we are about what God is doing with what is "within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. For this is the "truth of us", and this is the "truth of God" within us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. And this is the truth behind all of the religions of the world, which has absolutely nothing to do with what the religions of the world are currently trying to teach us, which is all about "our attachments" in the world, our attachments in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Bawa. But this time this truth is being told to us directly from God within us all, with no veils, and everyone in our age will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that is left is "do we want it", do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for the Choice is ours, not God's. And in truth there is no other Choice. 10. We Are Always The "Seed of Something Else" - that is, until only God is there, and in this way, in truth, until only God is there, "who we are" is always, "What is within us", and "where we are" is always, "What we are buried within", and "What is happening" to us, is always, "What is growing within us", if we will only let it, that is, if we will only let it both destroy us, and revealing us, that is, destroy what God is currently showing us, and reveal what God has next to show us, if we like, for the Choice to let our current life and state end, or not, and let what is our next life or state begin, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Bawa. And in this way, each of us is the "Seed of Something Else", each of us is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, each of us is "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. And God within us is also the "Seed of Something Else", God within us, is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, God within us, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, "We are all One", that is, "us", the Creation of God within us, God within us, and True Man within God within us, are all One, One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within it, One hiding itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the next Cycle, in the next Cycle of "God-Man/Man-God". Bawa. Just as the apple seed buried within the earth is the "Seed of Something Else", is the "apple tree happening" within the earth, and the apple tree is the "Seed of Something Else", is the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening" within the apple seed buried within the earth. Bawa. And in this way, "They are all One", that is, "the apple seed", the earth it is buried within, the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree hidden within it, are all One, One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within it, One hiding itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the next Cycle, in the next Cycle of AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree. Bawa. And in this way, "who we are" is in truth "What God is Doing" within each of us, and "where we are" in truth is buried within the "Earth of God" or Creation of God within us, and "What God is Doing" within us, if we will only let Him, is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And God does this by first revealing True Man within God within us, so True Man within God within us can reveal God within True Man within us, and in this way, bring to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, the Story that we came to this earth world within us, to tell, and to let come to Completion within us, if we like. 11. God's Story Within Us - is always the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and is always the "Gift of God" for our age, and the secret within God's telling of this Story within us, is "us", is that what God has shown us in the previous ages on the "outside" of us, about "His Story" within us, we can now experience within us in our age, if we like, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to let Him "Make It So" within us, if we like, for the Choice to make "His Story" on the "outside" of us, into "Our Story" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers of the "Planet Mirror", this is "what is happening" in our life, in all life, not what we are currently seeing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, "God is happening", and within that "True Man is happening", all of which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that we came to this earth world, to join with God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to let God happen within the Creation of God within us, and to let True Man happen within God happening within the Creation of God within us, or not, that is, to let God tell His Story within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and to let True Man within God within us bring "Their Story" to Completion within us, or at least to truly start to tell "Their Story" within us, before we die to the flesh, so God within us can then do "Everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, if we will only let Him, and what God is doing within each of us, if we will only let Him, is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And this is the "truth of us", as the "Seed of God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and this is the "truth of God" within us, as the "Seed of True Man happening" within the "Seed of God happening" within the Creation of God within us, all of which is just like the example that God gives us on the "outside", as the "Finger of God" pointing to the truth within us, as the example of the apple seed, the earth, the apple tree, and the apples on the "outside" of us, as the example on the "outside" of us, or as the "Finger of God" on the "outside" of us, pointing us to what can truly occur within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is ours, not God's. 12. The Name of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) - is the first name that God will give to the "inside" of us, when we truly realize, understand, and accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us", and join with God within us, to let Him tell "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it, before we die to the flesh in our current state, making "His Story" into "Our Story". Amen Bawa. All of which leads us up to the reason for the name Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that we opened this letter with, which is the name that His Holiness gave to this child in 1980, after this child met His Holiness in America in 1975, a beautiful name and a beautiful teaching. Bawa. Which is the name of the Muhaiyaddeen of God within us, which literally means the "giver of life back to true belief", or the "bringer of the pure light of truth", which in truth is "God's belief in God" within us, coming from within us as the Shaikh or Teacher of this truth for each age. Bawa. A name which first appeared in the world over 1000 years ago, with God sending into the world Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) as the Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen for that age, which in the Islamic traditions is referred to as the fruit of the tree of Iman-Islam, which is the tree and fruit of perfect faith that reflects the light of God for each age, if we like, a name which is the first name that God gives to the "inside" of each of us, when we truly accept the "Gift of God" for our age, which is God within us, and what God is doing within us, that is, if we will only let Him, which is telling and bringing to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Bawa. And a beautiful teaching for our age, about this Story within us, about the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and how we can truly establish this "Oneness" within our very own heart, by letting God within us tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, or at least start to tell it within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and in this way, letting "His Story" within us become "Our Story" within us, if we like. Bawa. A beautiful name and a beautiful teaching that this small child has been studying with His Holiness ever since, even though His Holiness physically left us in 1986, which is the secret within the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age, which truly transcends the grave, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice to truly establish this true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" for our age within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, a relationship with our wisdom, both within us, as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and as God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us). 13. Strike While The Iron Is Still Hot - that is, make hay while the sun is still shining, and like this, we must join in partnership with God within us, while God is still "Present" before us, while God is still living in the world for our age, while God is still living within the hearts of His Children for this age, that is, if our soul is to again become "One with" God within us, or at least truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh, that is, before the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) also physically leave the world, like our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, did so over 20 years ago Bawa. And to do this before we die to the flesh in our current state, so we too can transcend the grave, all of which is our Choice, not our Shaikh's Choice, and certainly not God's Choice within our Shaikh. In this way, may we all make the correct Choice, and Choose "Oneness with", not "separation from", before it is too late, that is, before His Children (peace be upon each of Us) also physically leave the world. Amen. Bawa. For on December 8, 1986 His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) physically left the world, and is buried in a little farming community about an hours ride outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but now lives on within the hearts of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, who in truth are all of us living in the world today, if we like, that is, if our true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Bawa. Which is like the rain returning to the ocean, having completed its duty as rain, again becoming "One with" the ocean, from which it had come, no longer existing as rain, as "separate from" the ocean. Amen. 14. The Meaning of "My Love You (anbu)" - is that, in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One", for "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love" Bawa. And all of this is the reason for the greeting of "My love you (anbu)", also at the beginning of the letter, which is the greeting that His Holiness always uses with us, which is an "egoless greeting", affirming that in truth "We are all One", that in truth "My love" is "My Oneness" with you, for in truth we are "All One", and only this can be called love, when "two hearts mingle as One". 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 letter, "Just as the flower and its fragrance are one, two heart must mingle as one. That alone can be called love." Bawa. And this is the truth of our age, this is "who we are", and this is "where we are", and this is what is "happening in our life", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or want it or not, because this is the true heritage, the true birthright, of all of us, the true destiny of our soul. Amen. 15. Establishing The "Presence of God" Within Us - by saying "Name of God" for our age, before we "Say or Do" anything, and for our age, that is saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), for in truth this is the Name of our wisdom within us, and of God within our wisdom within us, for our age, which in truth is also the "Name of His Children", living on the "outside" of us, that is, is also the Name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), 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, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen Bawa. And this is the reason for the use of the word "Bawa" at the beginning of each paragraph in this letter, that is, to affirm this "truth of us", and this "truth of God" within us, that our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and that God within Him, teach us for our age, and that now on the "outside" of us, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, if we like, in this letter to each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror" in Australian. Bawa. All of which can be truly appreciated, if we like, by the following short set of quotations from the life and teaching of His Holiness, 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us): 1) "Man is God in the forgetting of himself." 2) "The Justice of God is that whatever we intend is what we will receive." 3) "Nothing will ever leave us until it is understood, for its purpose for being there in the first place, is understanding". 4) "Understanding only occurs through contrast". 5) "The understanding of today becomes the enemy of tomorrow." 6) "What separates us from God is what separates us from each other, and what separates us from each other is what separates us from God". 7) "Our mind (or ego or selfishness or "separation from" God") will only sit down, when our wisdom (or selflessness or "Oneness with" God) stands up". 8) "If we wish to "Merge With God" then we should convert the "Soul Force" into the "Bliss of the Life Force" by "Controlling" the "Pleasurable Senses". If we can do this, we can live without "Tasting Death", and "Remain Immortal". Bawa. And for this child, the name of our wisdom is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, is the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, is the name of the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age. Bawa. And as the name of our wisdom over 3600 years ago was Moses (peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 2000 years ago was "Jesus" (peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 1400 years ago was "Muhammad" (blessing and peace be upon Him), and as the name of our wisdom over 1000 years ago was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), now in our age, the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, is "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. Which in truth is now the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is the name of each of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. So the writing of the name "Bawa" before each paragraph in this letter, is just that, is inviting our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to stand up, so our mind and desire will sit down, so our ego, our selfishness, our "separation and differences", and all of our "separate from", will sit down, and doing this so that what is shared, either through speech or by writing, is truly coming from our wisdom, and from God within our wisdom, and not just from the drama of our mind and desire, not just from the drama of "mine and yours", of "I and you", that only keeps us "separate from" God within us, no matter how wonderful or how exalted we may think it may be, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance. Bawa. Starting with the word "Bawa" so that our intention to share from our heart, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", is not coming just from the place of "separation and differences" within us, which is like the dark side of the moon, but rather from the light side of the moon, but rather from God within our wisdom within us, but rather from the "Presence of God" within us. Bawa. Because we have "stepped back" on the "outside" of us, before "saying or doing" anything on the "outside" of us, and have invited God to "step forward" within us, by calling out His Name for our age, in order to affirm the truth within us, to affirm the "Presence of God" within us, by calling out the name of our wisdom, for this age, and the name of God within our wisdom, for this age, by saying the word "Bawa" before we "say or do" or write anything. Amen. Bawa. So They can step forward within us, and be "Present" within us, and reflect their "Presence" within us through the qualities and actions that appear on the "outside" of us, including in the words or writing that comes to the "outside" of us. Bawa. And in this way, transforming our life into the "Truth of us" and into the "Truth of God" within us, allowing the "Truth to surrender to the Truth" within us, allowing the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us to join as "One with" the Creation of God within us in order to germinate, in order to germinate and to reveal and to bring to maturity the "Tree of God' within us, and to bear and to bring to maturity the "Fruits of God" within us, or at least to start to do this "Heart's Work" within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so in truth God within us can then do "Everything Else", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, as this small child has, for if we have doubt, then "we are out". Amen. Bawa. In closing, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", this is the truth within us all, that is coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, the truth that God has placed within each of us, even before we were born into this earth world. Bawa. The truth coming to the wisdom surrounding our soul, to awaken it, to awaken it by hearing the "Word of God" for our age, which is its "Mother's Milk", coming in this way to the Children of God for our age, which is all of us living in this age, if we like, to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, so it can do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", which in truth is each of us living on the "outside" of us in our current state of "separation and differences", living as if we are "separate from" God within us, 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. X 16. Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good - So I Request, and let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", please forgive this fool if anything that has been shared in this letter upsets or offends any of you, in any way, but this is the "truth of us" for our age, and this is the "truth of God" within us for our age, which we have gladly shared with each of you, at least a very tiny, tiny taste of it, in this very tiny, tiny letter of the heart, if we like. Bawa. And as His Holiness taught us to say, as recorded at the end of the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com), to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), in this Spiritual Letter, "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." 17. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Web Site - is (www.bmf.org), where among many other beautiful things, you can read on-line, for free, two beautiful books of wisdom by His Holiness, that is, the on-line book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and the on-line book, "A Book of God's Love" Bawa. And if you would like to learn more about the life and teaching of His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and about some of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), at least about some of them living in America, please click on the following URL: (www.bmf.org), which is the Web Site for the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", which was established by His Holiness in America, from 1971 until 1986 when His Holiness died, with His Holiness at that time being over 160 years old. Bawa. A Web Site that includes the following free On-line Books by His Holiness, which you can access either from the Web Site, or directly by clicking below: 1) Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi (http://www.bmf.org/iswp/index.html) (http://www.bmf.org/godslove/main.html) 18. The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library - is (www.Bawa. homestead.com), where we can read some of the material produced by His Children, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), if we like, like these "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) between His Children, and "Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com), also between the His Children Bawa. Also, if you would to read some more material about His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), please click on the following URL: (www.bawa.homestead.com), which is the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library". Bawa. Which is a Web Site that this child has been working on for the last 10 years, at the feet of our dear 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, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). 19. Closing Comments - May we all at least join in partnership with God within us to open our hearts to these beautiful "Words of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, and let God finish what God has started within each of 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, if we like, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell as our lot, for the Choice to use our life in this way, and germinate to the truth within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the "Planet Mirror", you are all very, very good Children of God, whether you know it or not, and even whether you like or want it or not, for in truth this is our true birth right, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul for our age. Bawa. So please do not just discard these beautiful "Words of Wisdom", in this Spiritual Letter, and instead, view them as "our own life speaking to us", view them as the truth that naturally emerges from within us, when we are ready to both hear them, and either accept or reject them, for now, in this age, and now, in each of our lives we are ready, to both hear them, and to either accept or reject them. Bawa. So before we throw the "baby out with the bath water", so to speak, spend a little time with these words, and let them flow into our heart, and awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current state, is our current life of "separation and differences" that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we are trying to live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. May we all try to do this, before it is too late to do this kind of "Heart's Work" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and an eternal hell, an eternal life as "separate from" God becomes our lot. May we all try to do this before at least one of us destroys the "outside" of us for all of us, which is also a very reveal possibility for our age. Ok? Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 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 of the "Planet Mirror" - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
