2. Short Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 72

This is a very important Spiritual Letter about "who we really are", about "where we truly are", and about "what is really happening" in our life, and about what in truth is "separating us" from this "truth of us", and from the "truth of what is hidden" within us, that is, what is "separating our soul" from again becoming "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.

A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, if we like, to the Children of God for our age, again if we like, coming from within the heart of this child, from within the heart of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), also if we like, living within the One True Open Heart of God for our age, that is, within the heart of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him), and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, within the heart of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like., which is all of us living in the world today, finally if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life is for us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh  Amen.

A Spiritual Letter written to two of our dearest loving brothers who have recently gone through a very, very significant tramma in their life, one a Mr. Tom Brokaw, ending a very distinguished career as the "News Anchor" for the to NBC Television Corporation,
now facing ?
, and a young mountain climber who was recently interviewed by Mr. Brokaw, as part of the "Today Program of NBC", about his recent "brush with death", when breaking every rule of such adventures, went out alone, without telling anyone, and nearly lost his life, now facing ?.

But both being a beautiful example of "God's Intervention", of God stepping in and saving them from their fate, with one scheduled to die as a "mountain man", and of the other scheduled to die as an "Anchor man", but saved for what? 

Such is the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, to help them, and each of us, to answer that question, "Saved for what?", if we like, before it is too late, before we finally do die to the flesh, before we do physically die to the "outside" of us, and before at least one of us prematurely destroys the "outside" of us, for all of us, which is a very real possibility for our age.  Amen.

Something to think about, Yes?

6.  What To Read First? - Recommended Sequence to read Spiritual Letter 72
It is recommended that when you start reviewing this material on-line, that you start by reading the "E-mail Version" of Spiritual Letter 72, rather than the "Outline & Summary Version" of  Spiritual Letter 72, for the following reasons: 

1)  "Spiritual Letter 72" has two different versions, first an "Outline & Summary
          Version", which is what automatically comes up when you first access
          Spiritual Letter 72, and second an "E-mail Version", which you can then
          access after you have first accessed the "Outline & Summary Version")

2)  The "Outline & Summary Version" is the original version of Spiritual Letter 72, is
          the longest version, and contains two Outlines, a "Silent Outline", and a "Brief
          Outline".  The "Silent Outline" has no summary of the Outline Topics  in the
          Spiritual Letter, while the "Brief Outline" provides a short to long summary of
          each Outline Topic.

3)  Finally, the "E-mail Version" contains only one Outline, which is like the "Silent
          Outline" of the "Outline & Summary Version", that is, it contains no summary of
          the Outline Topics, and since the "E-mail Version" was written after the "Outline
          & Summary Version, it contains the "Latest Version" of each Outline Topic,
          except for the 2 Outline Topics in the "E-mail Alert", that is, except for Outline
          Topic 01, "The Purpose of Spiritual Letter 72", and Topic 04, "A Message From
          God Within Us All".
