Short Overview - of Spiritual Letter 72

The first purpose of this Spiritual Letter to the both of you is to share with both of you something amazing that has happened within the life of this child, as the two of you shared with us the other day on NBC Dateline, shared with us about the amazing thing that had happened in the life of Aron Ralston, that is, about his being saved by God from his certain death, saved by God from his fate, because of the love and devotion to God of his mother, but for what purpose.  So he can climb more mountains?  So it would seem.

And the second purpose of this Spiritual Letter to the both of you, is to propose a different outcome to the life of both of you, because in truth both of you have been saved, saved by God from your fate, one dying according to his fate as a "mountain man" and the other dying according to his fate as an "anchor man", if God had not intervened, in both of your lives, giving both of you another chance, another shot at truly becoming successful in your lifetime.  Something to certainly think about. 
Yes?

Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 72

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.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Here is "Page 2 of 2" of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 72", to Mr. Tom Brokaw, previous Anchor for NBC News, and Mr. Aron Ralston, a mountain climber, who when trapped by a rock, cut off his own hand to save his life.

And sent to each of you, as the Children of God for our age, if you like, that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, instructed this child to write, and to send to each of you.

With "us" in truth, if we like, living at the feet of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now living on the "outside" of us, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, which is known by all of the wise through the ages as the "Kali Yuga".

At the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we only want it, that is, if the true intention of our life, for the life within us, for our soul life, 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.  Amen .

In the age known as the "Kali Yuga", the "Age of Destruction" within us, when either
"we" as the "outside" of us are destroyed,
or we join in partnership with God within us in order to "See God and Steady Him" within us, allowing God within us to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from God within us, as if we are "separate from' each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from' the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true.

That is, either we go the way of everything that in our ignorance has grown within us,  which in our ignorance we currently see only as our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", or we join in partnership with God within us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, in this way, escaping from both the
"Suffering of the Grave" within us, and from Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, after we die to the flesh.

For in truth what we have currently grown within us in our ignorance, which are like weeds in a beautiful flower garden, and which we are currently experiencing in our ignorance as the "outside" of us, as our current life of "separation and differences", of sin, of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, is what after we die to the flesh, die in our current state of "separation from" God within us, becomes both the "Suffering of the Grave" within us, and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us,
after we die to the flesh, that is, if we have failed to join in partnership with God within us, in order to "See God" within us, and "Steady Him" within us.

And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we now exist on the "outside" of us, so
through contras
t we can choose, because "understanding only occurs through contrast", so we can either choose "us" on the "outside" of us, or choose God within us, so we can either choose "us" as "separate from" God within us for eternity, or
choose "us" as "One with" God within us for eternity, and in this way, the choice is ours,
not God's, is our choice, not God's choice.

That is, either we choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. 

In this way, the choice is ours, before we die to the flesh, but if we physically die to the "outside" of us, to the flesh, and have not made a choice, then God will choose for us, based on what we have told God that we want for eternity, according to the "Justice of God" within us, according to what we have said to God within us, and
what  we have shown to God within us, about what we want for eternity, while living on the "outside" us, by what we have told God by our actions, not just by our words, that we truly want for eternity.

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, in "Spiritual Letter 72", and in this Library, in the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.
com), as follows:

          "The Justice of God, is that whatever we intend is what we will receive".

For more on this "Wisdom Point", click on the following: Expanded Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 72.  Thank you.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.  Amen.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.  Amen.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Contrast", to understand what "separates us" from God, and having learned our lessons, having passed our exams, having graduated from this First of God's Schools, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, we must then go off to the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light", where God will personally and every so lovingly teach us about God within us, and then about True Man within God within us.  Amen

6-0.  Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? - because the apple seed becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow, and because the earth then become aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow, and then out of this mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and the apple seed germinates.  That is why an apple seed germinates, because of awareness, because the apple seed becomes aware of the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and then lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, and it will be within it, becoming the Witness of what then occurs

7-0.  Closing Comments - may we learn to do this with our life, to do at least what an apple seed does, that is, to germinate and reveal what God has hidden within it, that is, for "us" in partnership with God within us, to let what has been hidden within us by God within us to be revealed by God within us, and we will be within it, and in this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us becoming a Witness of the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, becoming a Witness of what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and we will be within it, and doing all of this within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership with "God within us", to truly start this journey of the soul within us back into God within us, back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, from which we have all  come, for then God will do everything else, and we will be within it, for this is "God's Promise", "God's Guarantee" for our age, and in this way, with "us" as "One with God within us, returning to God within us, like the rain returning to the ocean, from which it has come, having completed its duty as rain, as "separate from" the ocean, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean.  Amen

2-3-6.  Such Is Our Current State - of "separation from" God within us, that is only leading us to hell within us, to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only hell there is, and it is within us, a hell that we are personally building within us, with every thought, look, and deed on the "outside" of us, with "us" continuing to try and live on the "outside" of us as if "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true, for God is closer to us than our own breath. And this is the truth us, and of God within us, and of our current state. May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly. Amen

Such is our current state of "separation from" God within us, my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, and the true potential of our life, which is to again "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, and how we can truly realize this true potential in our lifetime, if we like, but"us" joining in partnership with God within us, to find and become "One with' the "Gift of God" for our age, with the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if we like.

Which in truth for our age is the life and teaching of 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is also 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 for it to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, if for it to complete its journey back to God within us. Amen.

For example, as 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, as
His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter,

          "If you are there God is not there,
          and if God is there you are not there."

And this is how we make God "to be there", and for "us" not to be there, by calling our wisdom within us, which lives in this place of purity within us, to come into our mind and desire within us, which is where we in our ignorance currently live within us, and to deal with whatever God has allowed in our ignorance to be placed before us.

To deal with what we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, as the lives of darkness and evil within us, which now in our ignorance rule over us in their maturity as the 9 openings of our body, with God's Permission, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, until we again become "One with" God within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, without destroying our soul.

Because for us to "See God and Steady Him" within us means that the wisdom surrounding our soul has been awakened within us, awakened with the "Enlightening Words of the Qutbiyyat", with the "Gift of God" for our age, with the life and teaching of God for our age, and that our awakened wisdom, if we like, if we will let it, if we will join as "One with" it against the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current life of "separation from" everything on the "outside" of us, that our awakened wisdom has liberated our soul from its cross within us, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us, and sin, that our awakened wisdom has liberated our soul, liberated Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, from our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, from our life of sin, of "selfishness", in the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil within us.

Because for us to "See God and Steady Him" within us means that we have become "One with" the absolutely pure faith of "John the Baptist" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us.

Which means, that in truth,

          "There is nothing other than God" within us.
          "Only God exists" within us.
          And "God is One" within us. Amen."

Which in truth is the faith that allows us to see the "Light of man" within God within us, which is our soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, which in truth is our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" our awakened soul, as the "Light of the Purity of God" within us, which in truth is the first step of Iman-Islam within us, which is "Seeing God" within us, which is then followed, if we like, by the second step of Iman-Islam, which is "Steadying God" within us, which is seeing the original "Light of God" within us, and disappearing back into it, from which we have all come, which is "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, which is established within us by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within us, by the 8 main Prophets of God within us: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and finally by the first and the last Prophet of God, by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him). Amen.

And in this way, then having "Seen God", to then "Steady God" within us, as the "Light of God" for our age, which in truth is our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" our liberated soul, as the "Light of the Purity of God" within us, which then goes in search of, finds, and then becomes "One with" the "Original Light of God" within us, the original light which God placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, which in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the Nur Muhammad within us, the Light of our wisdom, the light of our 7th level of wisdom within us, or Divine Luminous Wisdom within us, the wisdom which then reveals the "Light of God" within the "Kingdom of God" within us through "True Prayer" within us. Amen.

And such is the true "Oneness" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) and of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, although they are seen and referred to as "separate" on the "outside" of us, which in truth within us is this two step process which reveals the "Light of God" within us for our age, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God for our age.

With the first step within the first step, of the first step of "Seeing God" within us, being joining in partnership with God within us, to obtain the "Perfectly Pure Faith" of
"John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) within us, through which all men can believe in the Light of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, for in truth without the "Faith of John the Baptist" there can be no "Seeing" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, or
"
Hearing His Words", either within us and on the "outside" of us, or "Believing in the One who sent Him", which is the prerequisite for an "Everlasting Life", for "Not coming into condemnation", and for "Passing from death unto life", all of which is beautifully recorded for us by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him) in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, Verses 6 to 14, and in Chapter 5, Verse 24, as follows:

2-3-7. Quotations From The "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01 & 05

-- Beginning of Quotations From "Gospel of John": Chapters 01 and 05 --

"Gospel of John", Chapter 01, Verses 6 to 14:

"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lightened every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him
not.

He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the Suns (the Lights) of God (to the world), even to them that believe in His name.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth."

"Gospel of John", Chapter 05, Verse 24:

"Verily, verily, I say unto to you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him
that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life".

Expanded Summary of Topic 3-0:

Establishing The Presence of God Within Us before we "say or do" anything, by saying the "Name of God" for our age, that is, by saying the "Name of our Wisdom" for our age, and of God within our wisdom.

In this way, calling our wisdom to come from the "Place of God" within us, to come from the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, which is where God currently lives within us, and come into the "Place of impurity" within us, into the "Place of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us.

In this way, calling our wisdom to come from the "Place of God" within us, to come from the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, which is where God currently lives within us, and come into the "Place of impurity" within us, into the "Place of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us.

And in this way, allowing our Wisdom to stand up within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down within us, perhaps for the very first time within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us.

In this way establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, before we sin, on the "outside" of us, because in truth God lives within our wisdom within us, and now so must we, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, as the "Witness" of what God is doing within us, if we are truly "born again", if we truly "die before death", before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen

Text of Topic 3-0:

In this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, in order to truly establish the "Presence of God" within us, we must call our wisdom within us, we must call our wisdom to come out of the "Place of Purity" within us, which is where our wisdom lives within us, along with all of the other "Stuff of God" within us, like the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, we must call our wisdom to come out of the "Place of Purity" within us, and to come into the "place of impurity" within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, our current life of sin, of "selfishness" that is "separating us" from God within us. Amen.

And in this way, allowing our wisdom within us to stand up within us, and causing our mind and desire within us to sit down within us, allowing "God's will be done" within us, not "our will" on the "outside" of us, allowing God within us to complete what God has started within us, not what "we in our ignorance' that that "we are currently doing" on the "outside" of us, allowing God within us to complete what God started within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to the earth world, which is for God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, even before we came to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools within us, to this "School of Contrast" within us, so we can come to understand everything that is currently "separating us" from God within us.

Such is the true purpose of our life, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and how we can now, if we like, join in partnership with God within us, with our source, to complete this purpose, in our lifetime. Amen.

And in this way, having passed our exams, and graduated from this first of God's Schools within us, to then go off to the next of God's Schools within us, for this is just the first of many of God's Schools within us, to then go off to the "School of Light"
within us, which is where God will personally and ever so lovingly teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us, about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is "who we are" within us, as the story of the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, and as the Witness of God and True Man within us, telling Their story. Amen.

And the "Name of God" for our age, is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, is the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, is the name of the "Word of God"
for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which in truth is each of us living in this age, both within us and on the "outside" of us.

Which in truth, for our age, is the name 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, is the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth are the same, if we like. Amen.

My dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is the "Name of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, the name of the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, the name for our age of the place within each of us where God, where the
"Children of God", and where all of the "Stuff of God" currently resides within us, as well as the name of "What God is doing" within us, which is God revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.

And in this way, this is the "Name of our wisdom" within us, for our age, which we need to call into action within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, which is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him).

Which we need to call into action within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, if we expect to become successful in our lifetime, that we need to call into action within our "place of impurity" within us, allowing our wisdom to stand up within us, and causing our mind and desire to sit down within us.

In this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, in this way, allow us to "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God within us to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, revealing "Us" as "One with" God within us, allow God within us to then "Cure Himself" of His dream within God within us, to awaken to Himself within Himself within us, to "Cure Himself" of the illusory "outside" of us, and of the "false inside" of us, once "we" have truly joined in partnership with God within us to be completely done with it, with the "outside" of us.

In this way, with "Us" replacing the "false inside" of us with the "True Inside" of us, which is "God within us, His Children within us, and the Kingdom of God within us", as "One" within us.

And within that within us, is the next world within us, is akhirah or the hereafter within us, is "God and True Man" within us, as "One" within us, and "We will be within it", with "Us" as the Witness, as the Witness of the telling within us, and of the bringing to completion within us, of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, as in truth an apple tree is really the
"Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", which in truth is the apple tree and its fruits, and again the apple seed, which is the story, the story on the "outside" of us that is pointing to the story within us. Amen.

So before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, if we truly want to become successful in our lifetime, please say the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen",
or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him).

In this way, with "us" as "separate from" God within us, and as "separate from" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, stepping back, so God within us can step forward within us, so God within us and "us" within us now as "One with" God within us, can step forward within us on the "Path of God" within us, which leads us back into the "Oneness of God" within us, into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, and "We will be within it", as the Witness.

In this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and affirming the "Divinity" of us, and of God within us, before we "say or do" anything, affirming the "Oneness" of man within God within us, and of God within man within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us.

In this way, allowing the "illusory outside" of us, and the "false inside" of us, to come to an end, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and for the "true inside" of us to be revealed within us, or at least start to be revealed in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, so God within us can then "Do everything else".
In this way, revealing the "true inside" of us, which is the "Place of Purity" within us, allowing it to come into existence within our heart within us, in this way, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" Him within us, before we die to the flesh.

Allowing God to again "Become God" within us, as He did before, but this time within us, this time within our heart within us, that is, in order for "us" to become "God within us", that is, in order for "us" as "One with" God within us, to become God within the "Creation of God" within us.

That is, but this time for God joined as "One with" us within us, and "us" joined as "One with" God within us, to become "One" with the Creation of God within us, to become God within the handful of earth called Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, that God placed within us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools within us, to this "School of Contrast" within us. Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, this is the truth, the truth of us, and the truth of God within us. May we all come to know this truth within us, without the slightest doubt, for if we have doubt, then "we are out", knowing and then becoming this truth within us before we die to the flesh, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, before it is too late, letting this "Seed of the Oneness of God and True Man" within us germinate, letting this truth germinate within us, and grow into the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the "Fruits of God" within us, revealing the "Taste of God" within us, and again the seed, but this time a 1000 fold.

And doing all of this, as "One with" God within us, or at least truly starting it, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh.

That is, before we die in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and then have to go to Hell within us, not to God within us, then have to go to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which in truth is the only hell within us, no matter what we may call it, in our ignorance, even if in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we have decided to call it heaven.

That is, even if in our arrogance about our ignorance we have decided to call the hell within us heaven, the hell that we have in our ignorance built within us, and that we are now experiencing as the "outside" of us, as our heaven, until we die to the flesh, and then for the first time see hell within us, see the very real but false inside of us, which is the true hell within us, no matter what we may call it.

For no matter what we call it, the "outside" of us is the smell of the hell within us, this is for sure, for even if you call a dog "tiger", it is still only a dog, it will never be a "tiger", and the "outside" of us is only leading us to the hell within us. This is certain.
May we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, and correctly set our intention for the life within us, for our soul life, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us. That would be good.

We must join in partnership with God within us to" make God's intention" our search, and then join in partnership with God within us to "intend as God" intends" within us, that is, to make the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

Because the current "outside" of is truly pointing to hell within us, no matter what we may call it, that is, it is pointing to an eternal "separation from" God within us, to an eternal "separation from" our true brothers and sisters within us, and to an eternal "separation from" the Creation of God within us, even if we give the name heaven to our hell, to the illusory "outside" of us.

May God grant us the grace of His wisdom to join in partnership with God within us, in order to truly conduct our life in this way, living again as "One with" with God within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership within God within us, to truly start this "Journey of True Love", of "Oneness", along the "Path of God" within us, before we die to the flesh.

For then "God will do everything else", to make it so with us, that is, to bring us back to Him, to finish what God has started within us, and in this process, to bring us back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, as the Witness. Amen.

This is God's Promise, this is God's Guarantee for our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we just join in partnership with God within us to step out in this direction, on the "Path of God" within us, with the Perfectly Pure faith of "John the Baptist" within us, with our Iman.

That is, with our absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth:

          "There is nothing other than God" within us.
          "Only God exists" within us. And,
          "God is One" within us . Amen".

Then God will do everything else, if we like, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Amen.

4-0.  A Message From God - within us all, to our dearest loving brother Aron, and to all of us living in this age, if we like, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we 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 very real possibility for our age

It was so very clear, at least to this child, that the connection between Aron and his mother, and her connection to God, and her prayers to God for Aron, was what finally saved Aron, after he had finally given up and resigned himself to the death that was quickly creeping up on him, after 6 days in the grip of what he had earlier come to love and investigate, which is "Nature", and what he has sadly again come to love and investigate, quickly forgetting the "message" that God was sending him, the message of "Escape".

The message from God, that came into the heart of this child, as we sat at the feet of God for our age, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we only want it, if we truly want to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

The "Message from God" within us all, as follows:

"Escape while you still can, my dearest loving Sun, and come back to Me, come back to Me before you physically die to the "outside" of you, before you get caught again, but this time with Me letting your fate have its way with you, this time without my intervention, this time with Me letting you die to the flesh, letting you die to the "outside" of you, because you failed to listen."

"Because you failed to take advantage of this "Second Chance" that I gave to you, because of your mother's love for Me, and then if you fail this second time, with Me letting you spend an eternal life as "separate from" Me, because that is the "Message" that you have sent to Me, by the way you have lived your life, both the first time around, and then after My intervention, the second time around, even with the prayers of your mother, even with her connection to Me, because then if you fail again, I have no choice".

"For what am I to do with you, but give you what you want, and if you fail again, like you did t he first time, then in truth you do not want Me, you do not want Me as "One with" you, you are not willing to give up your life on the "outside" of you as "separate from" Me, you are not willing to save Me as I saved you, you are not willing to bring Me back to life within you, as I brought you back from the edge of death within Me, you are not willing to again become "One with" Me within you, before your fate finally has its way with you, before you die to the flesh."

"You are not willing to bring Me back to life within you again, as "One with" Me within you, so we together as "One", both within you and within Me, can finish what I have stated a very, very long time ago within you, which is to tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and within Me within you, and in this way, to reveal God to God within you, and to reveal True Man to True Man within Me within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and of all of the Creation of True
Man within Me within you.  Amen."

"So what am I to do with you, but in the end let you have what you want, what your have said that you want by your actions, by the way that you have lived your life, not just by what you say, because your words and your actions are not the same, such is the hypocrisy of your life, my dearest loving son, such is the truth of your life, the saying of one thing but the doing of another.  So what am I to do with you, but in the end give you what your life has told Me you truly want, which if you die in your current state is an eternal life as "separate from" Me."

"But you still can change all of this, your still have time, now that I have given you a second chance, through the love and devotion to Me of your mother, so use it wisely my son, use this second chance to again become "One with" Me, before you die to the flesh, before you physically die to the "outside" of you, because if you die then in your current state, in your current state of "separation and differences", in your current state of "I and you", of "mine and yours", then what am I to do with you, but give you that state for eternity.  The choice is truly yours, not Mine."

"Please reflect upon these beautiful words of grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine
knowledge that you are now hearing, and step out in this direction, and I will do everything else, this is My guarantee, to bring you back home into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and within Me within you, if this is your true intention for the life We have given you, but this time with an understanding of "Our" Oneness so it will never leave "Us" again, a state "We" will share for eternity."

"Please know this now my dearest loving son and start to act accordingly, before it is too late, and you force Me to sent you to hell for eternity.  Amen."

5-0.  Our Story - which is "us" coming to the First of God's School, to the "School of Contrast", to understand what "separates us" from God, and having learned our lessons, having passed our exams, having graduated from this First of God's Schools, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, we must then go off to the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light", where God will personally and every so lovingly teach us about God within us, and then about True Man within God within us.  Amen

The story that you told with Aron as part of the TV program on his "life changing" experience was a beautiful and interesting story but in truth, on a higher level, it is "Our Story", it is the story of each one of us living in the world today, with each of us coming to the same place within us that Aron came to in the desert on the "outside" of him, the place that now has each of us in a death grip, unless God intervenes in our life, and like in Aron's case, with each of us gradually coming to the place that in our ignorance we have come to love and investigate earlier, but which now has us in its death grip, and which can turn on us at any time, ending our life, as it was ready to do so in Aron's case.

Ending our life in this First of God's Schools, in the "School of Contrast", where we have all come to learn our lessons, pass our exams, and graduate, before we die to the flesh, where we have come to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then having learned these lessons go off to the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light" where God Himself will teach us about God within us, about who we "Already are", and then about True Man within God within us.

And perhaps ending our life before we have learned all of our lessons in this First of God's Schools within u s, before we have passed all of our exams, and before we have graduated from the "School of Contrast" within us, and that would be no good for any of us, for by dying in this state, in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us we will never get a chance to go to the next of God's School, never get a chance to go to the "School of Light" and learn about God within us, learn about who in truth we "Already are", and then learn about True Man within God within us, from God within us, and then learn about God within True Man within God within us from True Man within God within us, and in this way, learn about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us.  Amen.  

Such is the danger that we all currently face, my dearest loving brothers, that Aron's story clearly points out, if we have the wisdom to realize it, and the precarious edge upon which we all sit at this very moment, as we wait to either "Get it", and change our life accordingly, gradually using God within us to becoming again "One with" God within us, both now, before we die to the flesh, and later, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, or "Not get it", and in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, keep our life the same until we die, and when we die, get that same life of "separation from" God within us for eternity.

Such is the only true choice in our life, my dearest loving brother Tom and Aron, an eternal life either as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for everything else in our life is just drama, the drama of "separation and differences" played out on the "outside" of us. 

A drama that in truth we can only truly win if we "Don't play", if we join in partnership with God within us to learn to "Do nothing correctly", to learn to do everything by first invoking the "Presence of God" within us, to learn to step back in our life, before we "say or do" anything, so God can step forward in His life, and in this way saving His life as He has saved our life, and become His witness, the witness of His life within us, and then the witness of the life of True Man within Him within us.

And finally, the witness of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, allowing both God and True Man within us to complete what They set out to do, a very, very long time ago, and in this way, truly making our life "One" with Them within us, truly becoming again "One with" God and True Man within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly start our life out again in that direction, before we die to the "outside" of us, as it was in the world of souls, and in the womb of our mother, and for the first 2 years of our life here, in this earth world, before we,

          "Before we forgot God and fell into many a trap".

For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tried to teach us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age, as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, 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,

          "Man appearing on this earth forgets God, and falls into many a trap.  He does
          not know to seek himself, although God exists within man.  This book,
          "The Pearl of Wisdom" is provided to explain this concept (of Tawhid) in detail."

This quotation is the opening sentence in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom
Forward.homestead.com) of the beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), which was orally transmitted to a scribe in 1946 by His Holiness on the Island of Ceylon, which is now called Sri Lanka.

And the concept of Tawhid is the heart and soul and wisdom of the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and is refereed to in the Islamic tradition as the "affirmation of the unity of Allah", but can also be viewed on a higher level as "Our Story", that is, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Creation of God, or the "Earth of God", within us.

Or if we like, the story of the "apple tree and its fruits" within the apple seed buried within the earth, since in truth one is just God's way of point us to the other, that is, the example of the "oneness" of the apple tree, its fruits, and the apple seed buried within the earth, is just one of God's ways of using His Creation to point "us" to the truth of us, to the "Oneness" of God and True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we have the heart and soul and wisdom for it, and to then truly turn our life in that direction, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within us.

In this way, letting the truth of us, which is the "Seed of God' buried within the Creation of God within us, and the truth of God within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, happen within us, or said another way, to let "True Man happening" within "God happening' within the "Earth of God" within us, happen within us, or at least truly start to happen within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, and with "us" then becoming the "Witness", the "Witness" of all of this happening, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within God within us.  Amen.

With "us" becoming the "Witness" of the Light, as "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him did at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago.

For as recorded in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, Verses 1 to 15, we are told about "John the Baptist", who came as a "Witness" to the Light of God, so that "all men through him might believe in the Light of God" for that age, as follows:

--- Beginning of Quotation From the "Gospel of John", Chapter 01 ---

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light."

"That was the true Light, which lightened every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the (the Lights) of God (to the world), even to them that believe in His name. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth."

"John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He whom I spake, He that
cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me. And from His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Sun (or Light of man, Light of man within God, or Life within God, which is our soul), which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him."

And so too it is within each of us in our age, my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, like "John the Baptist" before us, we too must become the "Witness" of the Light of God for our age, but for our age that Light of God is truly within each of us, not "outside" of us as in the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), if we like, if we will but find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with the life and teaching of God for our age, with the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, with His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us).

With His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, if that be our true intention, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

                                                                                - go to "Text of Topic 06"
Expanded Summary of Topic 06:

An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it
is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the
apple tree hidden within it to grow, and because the earth then become aware that the
apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and that the
earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow, and then out of this
mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed
surrenders to the earth, and the apple seed germinates.

That is why an apple seed germinates, because of awareness, because the apple
seed becomes aware of the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and
then lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, and becomes the witness of what
then occurs.

That is why an apple seed germinates, because it becomes aware of the truth of itself,
that it is the seed of something else, it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and
the truth of what lies hidden within it, of the apple tree, that the apple tree in truth is
also the seed of something, it is the seed of the apple fruit, as the apple fruit is also
the seed of something else, of the apple seeds within the apple fruit, the seeds of the
next cycle of apple trees.

And as such "They" are all "One", the apple seed buried within the earth, the apple
tree hidden within it, the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree, and again the apple
seeds hidden within the apple fruits.  "They" are all "One", one within the other as one,
one revealing the other within it, one hiding itself in the one being revealed only to be
reveal again in the next cycle, in the next cycle of the
Apple-AppleTree/AppleTree-Apple.

Text of Topic 06:

One day "In the "room", which is what we affectionately called the place His Holiness lived when He was in America, between 1971 and 1986, when He died in that "room",  which was His residence at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
          
One day in the "room", our dear Father, His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), look at His Children, which He called all of us, and asked us a question, which changed the life of this child, and will change your life, and the life of all who hear His answer, whether they want to hear it or not.  Such is the nature of truth, my dearest loving brothers.

He asked,

      "Why does an apple seed germinate?"

Now we all tried to answer the question, and all of our answer had to do with the elements, with the earth, fire, water, and air, and with the sky and colors, which His Holiness called ether.

His Holiness took in all of our answers, sitting on the bed where He spent most of His time, since He was well over 100 years old, and was very sick most of the time, though He told us that He was only sick because He was taking on all of our illnesses, not His.

Then His Holiness looked up at us, with a smile that melted our hearts, and said to us,

-- Beginning of Quotation From His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) --

No my dearest loving children, that is not why an apple seed germinates.

An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow.  Then the earth becomes aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow.

Then out of that mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and that is why an apple seed  germinate.

This is why an apple seed germinates, my dearest loving children, through awareness, through the realization of the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to both hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, because not all apple seeds germinate, some rot in the earth and are absorbed back into the earth only to be reborn over and over age, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the story of the "Oneness" of the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits, the story which it came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell.  Never again as this.

This is why an apple seed germinates, my dearest loving children, through self awareness, through the realization and acceptance of the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready, not because of any influence of the 5 elemental forces that it is buried within, like the earth, fire, water, air, or ether or sky.

Like this, in truth man is the seed of God, and He is buried within God, within the Creation of God within man, and God contains everything necessary for that seed of God to grow into the Tree of God, which is God, and bear the Fruits of God, which is True Man, everything necessary to tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", we came to the "Earth of God", which is the Creation of God within us, to tell. 

But like all apple seed don't germinate, not all men and women will do this with their life, not all men and women will give up their current life of "separation and differences" as they are currently experiencing it in their ignorance on the "outside" of us, and "die before death", and be truly "born again", before death". 

For to do so in your age is very, very rare, but you still can, if you like, if the true
intention for your life is to again become "One with" with God within you, before you die to the flesh, if you will only find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, which is the life and teaching of God, the "Word" of God for your age, which will awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul.

Allowing your wisdom to liberate your soul, your pure birth and life, from the "Enemy of your soul", from your impure birth and life, which is the "outside" of you, which is what is keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you crucified on the cross of your elemental body, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of you, so "you can sin", so you can continue to live a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the current "outside" of you.

And then get as your reward from God within you an eternal life of the current "inside" of us, which are all the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance, but which in your ignorance you only see as "you" and the "outside" of you, which in truth is what is currently separating you from God within you, and in this way, with you, if you die in your current state, getting an eternal life as "separate from" God within you. 

Such is your current state, and your fate, if you die in your current state.  For what else is God to do with you, since you ignored or rejected what God planned for you, and the "Word" of God for your age, calling on you "one last time" to stop all of your "working for wages to get into heaven", and instead to join in partnership with God within you, to finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  Amen..

And in this way, when man comes to the point in his life when this truth of himself and of God within him, naturally emerges from within him, that in truth he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and God within him is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God.

And in this way, he is "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within him, and God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within him, and if at that time he lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within him, if at that time he realizes, understands, accepts, and joins with that truth of himself, and of God within him, then God within the Creation of God within him will realize that man now knows "Who he is", that man now knows that he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and in this way, that in truth he is "God happening" within the Creation of God within him.

And God will realize that man now knows "Where he is", that he is within the Creation of God within Him, and that man now knows "What is happening" within him, as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within him, that in truth, he is "God happening" within the Creation of God within him, which in maturity is revealed within the Creation of God within him by God within him, as the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within him, with the "Trunk of God" for that tree, being "Pure and Perfected Faith" in God or Iman", which is unshakable, complete, absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within him, and only in God within him, that in truth, in the Islamic tradition, La illaha, "There is nothing other than God" within us, Il Allahu, "You are Allah" within us, and Muhammadar Rasul Allah, "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" within us. Amen."

And with the "Branches of God" on that tree, being the 124,000 Heavenly beings,
Prophets, and Lights of God within him, and with the "Fruits of God" on that tree, being the 6,666 Verses of the Holy Qur'an, which in truth includes all of the "Word" of God for the last 200 million years, both within us, as our "Purified and Perfected Heart", and on the "outside" of us, as examples that speak to a particular people in a particular age, dealing with both universal concerns, but also dealing with local concerns.

And in this way, in truth the Holy Qur'an, or the "Word of God", is always truly within you, as your birth right, as your true heritage, and in truth contains everything, in truth is immutable, and always "speaks to your faith", in each age, coming in each age both within you, and on the "outside" of you, as the "Gift of God" for each age, as the "Life and Teaching of God" for each age, as the "Word of God" for each age, for the "Children of God" for each age.

And in this way, in truth, coming in your age, both within you and on the "outside" of you, as the life and teaching of your dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, as the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of You), which in truth is each of you living in this age, if you like, if you want it, if the true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is for it to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh.  Amen.

And in this way, picking up again on the earlier point, when you awaken to the "truth of you", when you join in partnership with God within you, to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, that through that, to realize, understand, and accept, without the slightest doubt, that in truth you are the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, then God within you will realize, that the "Seed of God" within you, is ready to germinate, and in this way, to reveal God within you, that is, then God within you will "Do Everything Else".

For then God within you, as your wisdom within the Creation of God within you, as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul within you, will begin again to "Move Forward" within you the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, if you like, because it is truly always your choice, not God's choice, that is, it is always your choice about how far you will allow God within you, and then True Man within God within you, to move forward Their Story within you, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and in this way, the Choice is always yours, not Theirs.

For example, the choice is yours, right now, after reading this "Word of God" for your age, for the Children of God for your age, that is, to either accept it or not, to accept this as truly the "Word of God" for your age, naturally emerging from within you, because like the apple seed buried within the earth, now you are ready to both hear it, and to either accept or reject it, and to accept or reject yourself as the true "Child" of God for your age, for in truth there is only "One Child", as in truth there is only "One Teacher", as in truth God within you is both the True Child or Disciple of God, and the True Teacher of Shaikh of God, and in truth "They are One", in truth "They are the One", for in truth "God is One".  Amen.

And in this way, to join in partnership with God within you to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, realizing, understanding, accepting, and becoming "One with" the "Life and Teaching of God" within you, both within you and on the "outside" of you, realizing that in truth, then God within you will "Do Everything Else", both within you and on the "outside" of you, for this is "God's Promise", and "God's Guarantee" for you living in your age.

In this way, if you like, if you will only let Him, if you will only join as "One with" Him, with God within you closing down the world of hell within you, which is the false creation within you, the section of your elemental body below your waist, then close down the world of jinns within you, which is false destruction within you, the section of your body known as the stomach, and close down the world of fairies within you, which is false life within you, the lives of the impure spirits within you, the section of your body currently known as your chest.

And then to re-opening the world of souls within you, awakening your 6th level of wisdom within you, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the wisdom surrounding your soul within you, if you like, so it can liberate your soul within you, which is your pure birth and life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, from His cross within you, which is the "Enemy of your soul" within you.

In this way, if you like, for the choice is always, not God's, with your awakened wisdom liberating your pure life and birth within you from your impure birth and life within you, by pulling out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of you and sin, and in this way, liberating Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you from His Cross within you, which is your current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, which is your current life of sin, of "selfishness" that you are currently living with your dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that you currently see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but which is all false and not true, either within you or on the "outside" of you.

And in this way, returning Adam (peace be upon Him) within you to the state He was
in before His fall from grace, but this time with an understanding of His fall from grace,
so it will never happen to Him again, in this way, transforming your heart, the area of
your body currently known as your chest, that is, everything below the neck, and
above the stomach,  into the "Palace of the Soul" within you, into the "House of
Wisdom" within you, into the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani
(may God be pleased with Him) within you, this time with the "Eye of Wisdom" on the
forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the 7th level of wisdom
within you, permanently open within you, so satan can no longer approach Adam
(peace be upon Him) and Eve (peace be upon Her) within you, and lead Them (peace
be upon Them) astray within you.

Then opening the kingdom of God within you, which is transforming the handful of earth that is Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) within you, into the 8 heavens within you, with the 1st heaven becoming Adam (peace be upon Him) wearing a Crown of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within you, a Crown which is then Eve (peace be upon Her) within you, and the 8th heaven becoming the kingdom of God within you, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you.

In this way, transforming the Holy Trinity of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the "Purified Heart" within you, and the Triple Flame of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, which is the "Perfected Heart" within you, or Iman-Islam within you, into the true "Place of Worship" within you, which is the "Secret World of Allah" within you, the place within you where "True Prayer" can occur within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, in this way, completing the "Path of God" within you.  Amen.

In this way, "Making Straight the Way of the Lord" within you, making straight the way of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, and then of "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) within you, the way of "Perfected Faith" or of Iman within you, and the way of Purity or Sivam within you, which is the way of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, of the "Light of man" within God within you, as the "Light of Purity" within you.

And then bringing this Purity of God within you to maturity within you, as the "Light of God' within you, as the "Straight Path" or "Siratal Mustaqueem" of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, as Iman-Islam within you, as the "Place of True Prayer" within you, where God worships God within you, for in truth "Only He may worship Him, no one else can do this", and doing all of this, or at least truly joining in partnership with God within you, to again start it all up again within you, that is, to "Move Forward" again the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, before you die to the flesh on the "outside" of you.

And in this way, with God within you completing all of this within you, if you like, if you will just let Him, if you will just let the current body and life of "separation and differences" come to an end within you, if you will just let it freely and peacefully come to an end within you, both within you and on the "outside" of you, so God can then "Do Everything Else, for this is "God's Promise", this is "God's Guarantee" for your age.

And in this way, then God within you will realize that man now knows, understands, accepts, and joins with the "truth of himself", that is, with "who he is", that he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and that God within you contains everything necessary for that "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of God" to grow, that is, hidden within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within him, and in this way, man surrenders to God and God surrenders to man, and the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within you germinates, destroying the "outside" of you, and revealing the "Tree of God" within you, growing within the Creation of God within you.  Amen..

And in this way, in truth, with "you", as the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, within the Creation of God within you, that is, buried on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, as "God happening" within God within you.

And with God within you, as "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and in this way, with God within you becoming the "Sweet taste" within the mature "Fruit of God" within the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within you, and True Man within God within you as the One within you, as the One within you who tastes those "Fruits of God" and then distributes them to all of His Creation within you, if they like, bringing them to completion within you, if they like.

Which becomes the "Day of Judgment" within you, before you die to the flesh on the "outside" of you, allowing all of the Creation of God within you, to again become "One with" God within you, if they like, or to be discarded again from God within you, by God within you, if they don't like, for this is the only way they will ever leave you, that is, the only way that the incomplete Creation of God within you, will ever leave you, either having come to completion within God within you, or having been discarded again from within God within you, by God within you, as God did so before within Himself, in order to become God within you, with God within you now doing it again, but this time within you, if you will only let Him, if you will only get Him to do it again, by joining Him in what He is doing within you, by giving up the "outside" of you, by giving up all that "you think in your ignorance" that you are currently doing on the "outside" of you, which in truth is only leading you to hell, is only leading you to an eternal life of "separation from" God, both now, and after you die to the flesh, if you die in your current state of "separation and differences". Amen.

By you getting God within you, to do it again, to become "God again", but this time within you, by making "you" as "separate from" Him within us, into His problem within Him, not into your problem on the "outside" of you, because only God can cure you, of "you" as "separate from" Him, by passing judgment on the incomplete Creation of God within you, in this way, destroying the "false inside" of you, and the illusory "outside" of you without destroying you, that it, doing it without destroying you, because by truly join in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh, then "you" as "separate from" God within you is no longer you, no longer exists as "One with" you, and can leave, or be destroyed without you leaving or being destroyed, and the Choice is yours, not God's.

And at this point in the Story, the Choice is theirs, not God's, and not ours, for both God and "you" have already made your choice, and "You" chose "Oneness with", not "separation from", now the Creation of God within you must also choose, as part of their day of Judgment, and if they fail to choose, before we die to the flesh, then God within you, as He did before, will choose for them, based on how they have chosen to live within you, either as "One with" or as "separate from".  Amen.

And in this way, if you choose "One with" within you, not "separation from" within you, before you die to the flesh, then in truth They are all "One" within you, that is, and God can then finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago, even before you were born into this earth world.

And in this way, then God within you and everything within God within you, which is the Stuff of God within God within you, are all "One" within you, and in this way, They are the "One" within you, that is, as the Creation of God within you, as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within you, as God within our wisdom, and as True Man within God within you, They are all "One" within you, They are the "One" within you, They are all the "One" Cycle of "God-Man/Man-God' within you, They are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, that we came to the "Earth of God", to join as "One with" the "Earth of God", to tell, if we like, because not all people germinate to the truth within themselves, even after it has been revealed to them, as it is now being revealed to each of you, in this Spiritual Letter.

As in truth, the earth, the apple seed buried within the earth, the apple tree growing within the earth, and the apple fruits on that apple tree, are all "One", are all the "One" cycle of "AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree, are the story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its apples", that it came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, because not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within themselves, even after it has been revealed. 

Such is our fate, the fate of both of you, the fate of the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, and the fate of the apple seed buried within the earth, for the Choice is ours, not God's.

And in this way, "you", and God within you, and True Man within God within you are all "One", are in truth "The One".

And if you hear and accept the truth of you within you, and the truth of God within you, which is "Oneness", and let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, in this way, letting God within you finish what He has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, but this time with an understanding of your "Oneness" so it will never leave you again, then when God within you, and True Man within God within you are finished, finished telling Their Story, then, "You will be within it, as the Witness, as the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you, the Witness of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. Amen".

And in this way, "you", and God within you, and True Man within God within you are all "One", are in truth "The One", and when you let this be re-established within you, but this time with an understanding of your "Oneness" so it will never leave you again, be re-established within you, in partnership with God within you, and in partnership with True Man within God within you, then in this way, you will be within it, as the Witness, as the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you, the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell.  Amen.

Allowing God within man to now know, that man within God now knows, that in truth "They are all One", that in truth "They are the One", and as such, he currently is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within Him, and that God within him, as the Creation of God within him, contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within him to germinate and to grow into the "Tree of God" within him, and bear the "Fruit of God" within him, again revealing the "Seed of God" within him, but this time a 1000 fold.

Allowing God within man to now know that man within God now knows, that as such, he is now the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within him, and that God within him, as the 18,000 Universes within him, contains everything necessary for "True Man to happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within him, everything necessary for the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" to be told, and come to completion within him, as God and True Man within him, and "You will be within it", as the Witness.

Then out of this mutual awareness, God surrenders to man within Him and man
surrenders to God within him, and True Man is revealed within the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within you, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation. 

And then God is revealed within the Creation of True Man (which is the next world, or hereafter or akhirah) within you, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation", and in this way revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man, and "You will be within it", again as the Witness".

Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. 
Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.
Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.
Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. 

So be it, So be it, O Ruler of the Universes.
So be it, So be it, O Most Merciful One.
So be it, So be it, O Most Compassionate One.
All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone.
Only God is Great.

Expanded Summary of Topic 07:

May we learn to do this with our life, to do at least what an apple seed does, that is,
to germinate and reveal what God has hidden within it, that is, for "us" in partnership
with God within us, to let what has been hidden within us by God within us to be
revealed by God within us, and we will be within it.

And in this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us becoming a
Witness of the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, becoming a Witness of what
God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of
the Creation of God within us, and we will be within it, and doing all of this within us,
before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership with "God within us",
to truly start this journey of the soul within us back into God within us, back into the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, from which we have all  come.

For then God will do everything else, and we will be within it, for this is "God's
Promise", "God's Guarantee" for our age, and in this way, with "us" as "One with God
within us, returning to God within us, like the rain returning to the ocean, from which it
has come, having completed its duty as rain, as "separate from" the ocean, again
becoming the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, no longer existing as "separate
from" the ocean.  Amen

Text of Topic 07:

My dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, please try to be patient with what we have shared with you in this Spiritual Letter, about the truth of us, and about the truth of God within us, as we know this provides a very different perspective about us, about our current life, that is, about the "outside" of us, and about God within us.

A very different perspective about our current life, about our source, which is God within us, and about the potential within each of us to truly return to our source, through our faith and trust in God within us, through our using God within us, to get to God within us.

That is, through our joining in partnership with God within us, to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, and through this "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, this "Word of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, for the "Children of God" for our age, to become truly successful in our lifetime.

For the "Children of God" for our age, which in truth is all of us living in our age, if we truly want it, if the true intention for our life within us, not on the "outside" of us, for our soul life within us, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

Please give our love and salams (greetings from the heart) to all of your family and friends, especially to your mother my dearest loving brother Aron, for her true prayers to God within us all, which in truth allowed God to intervene in your fate, and save you life from your certain death in that canyon, hopefully for something more than mountain climbing.

Hopefully to be His true Child for our age, and to join in partnership with God within us to again become "One with" God within us, before you die to the flesh, and in this way, to first save your self, and then the rest of us, if we like, from the fate that we all have all truly earned for eternity, by the way we have lived our lives, which is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, guiding us all back into the "Oneness" within us, that is the true heritage, the true birth right, the destiny of our soul, if we like.

Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are all in our prayers.

And please try to join in partnership with the true "Gift of God" for our age, with the true "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, with the true "Word of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which is each of us living in our age, if we want it.

Which in truth for our age, is the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and is God within Him, if we like, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us).  Amen.

May all the peace, the beneficence,  and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Short Overview - of Spiritual Letter 72

The first purpose of this Spiritual Letter to the both of you is to share with both of you something amazing that has happened within the life of this child, as the two of you shared with us the other day on NBC Dateline, shared with us about the amazing thing that had happened in the life of Aron Ralston, that is, about his being saved by God from his certain death, saved by God from his fate, because of the love and devotion to God of his mother, but for what purpose.  So he can climb more mountains?  So it would seem.

And the second purpose of this Spiritual Letter to the both of you, is to propose a different outcome to the life of both of you, because in truth both of you have been saved, saved by God from your fate, one dying according to his fate as a "mountain man" and the other dying according to his fate as an "anchor man", if God had not intervened, in both of your lives, giving both of you another chance, another shot at truly becoming successful in your lifetime.  Something to certainly think about. 
Yes?

Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 72

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.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Here is "Page 2 of 2" of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 72", to Mr. Tom Brokaw, previous Anchor for NBC News, and Mr. Aron Ralston, a mountain climber, who when trapped by a rock, cut off his own hand to save his life.

And sent to each of you, as the Children of God for our age, if you like, that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, instructed this child to write, and to send to each of you.

With "us" in truth, if we like, living at the feet of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now living on the "outside" of us, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) for our age, which is known by all of the wise through the ages as the "Kali Yuga".

At the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we only want it, that is, if the true intention of our life, for the life within us, for our soul life, 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.  Amen .

In the age known as the "Kali Yuga", the "Age of Destruction" within us, when either
"we" as the "outside" of us are destroyed,
or we join in partnership with God within us in order to "See God and Steady Him" within us, allowing God within us to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from God within us, as if we are "separate from' each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from' the Creation of God within us, all of which is not true.

That is, either we go the way of everything that in our ignorance has grown within us,  which in our ignorance we currently see only as our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", or we join in partnership with God within us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, in this way, escaping from both the
"Suffering of the Grave" within us, and from Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, after we die to the flesh.

For in truth what we have currently grown within us in our ignorance, which are like weeds in a beautiful flower garden, and which we are currently experiencing in our ignorance as the "outside" of us, as our current life of "separation and differences", of sin, of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, is what after we die to the flesh, die in our current state of "separation from" God within us, becomes both the "Suffering of the Grave" within us, and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us,
after we die to the flesh, that is, if we have failed to join in partnership with God within us, in order to "See God" within us, and "Steady Him" within us.

And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we now exist on the "outside" of us, so
through contras
t we can choose, because "understanding only occurs through contrast", so we can either choose "us" on the "outside" of us, or choose God within us, so we can either choose "us" as "separate from" God within us for eternity, or
choose "us" as "One with" God within us for eternity, and in this way, the choice is ours,
not God's, is our choice, not God's choice.

That is, either we choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. 

In this way, the choice is ours, before we die to the flesh, but if we physically die to the "outside" of us, to the flesh, and have not made a choice, then God will choose for us, based on what we have told God that we want for eternity, according to the "Justice of God" within us, according to what we have said to God within us, and
what  we have shown to God within us, about what we want for eternity, while living on the "outside" us, by what we have told God by our actions, not just by our words, that we truly want for eternity.

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, in "Spiritual Letter 72", and in this Library, in the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.
com), as follows:

          "The Justice of God, is that whatever we intend is what we will receive".

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.  Amen.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

6-0.  Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? - because the apple seed becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow, and because the earth then become aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow, and then out of this mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and the apple seed germinates.  That is why an apple seed germinates, because of awareness, because the apple seed becomes aware of the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and then lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, and it will be within it, becoming the Witness of what then occurs

7-0.  Closing Comments - may we learn to do this with our life, to do at least what an apple seed does, that is, to germinate and reveal what God has hidden within it, that is, for "us" in partnership with God within us, to let what has been hidden within us by God within us to be revealed by God within us, and we will be within it, and in this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us becoming a Witness of the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, becoming a Witness of what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and we will be within it, and doing all of this within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership with "God within us", to truly start this journey of the soul within us back into God within us, back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, from which we have all  come, for then God will do everything else, and we will be within it, for this is "God's Promise", "God's Guarantee" for our age, and in this way, with "us" as "One with God within us, returning to God within us, like the rain returning to the ocean, from which it has come, having completed its duty as rain, as "separate from" the ocean, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean.  Amen

2-3-6.  Such Is Our Current State - of "separation from" God within us, that is only leading us to hell within us, to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only hell there is, and it is within us, a hell that we are personally building within us, with every thought, look, and deed on the "outside" of us, with "us" continuing to try and live on the "outside" of us as if "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true, for God is closer to us than our own breath. And this is the truth us, and of God within us, and of our current state. May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly. Amen

Such is our current state of "separation from" God within us, my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, and the true potential of our life, which is to again "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, and how we can truly realize this true potential in our lifetime, if we like, but"us" joining in partnership with God within us, to find and become "One with' the "Gift of God" for our age, with the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if we like.

Which in truth for our age is the life and teaching of 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is also 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 for it to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, if for it to complete its journey back to God within us. Amen.

For example, as 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, as
His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter,

          "If you are there God is not there,
          and if God is there you are not there."

And this is how we make God "to be there", and for "us" not to be there, by calling our wisdom within us, which lives in this place of purity within us, to come into our mind and desire within us, which is where we in our ignorance currently live within us, and to deal with whatever God has allowed in our ignorance to be placed before us.

To deal with what we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, as the lives of darkness and evil within us, which now in our ignorance rule over us in their maturity as the 9 openings of our body, with God's Permission, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, until we again become "One with" God within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, without destroying our soul.

Because for us to "See God and Steady Him" within us means that the wisdom surrounding our soul has been awakened within us, awakened with the "Enlightening Words of the Qutbiyyat", with the "Gift of God" for our age, with the life and teaching of God for our age, and that our awakened wisdom, if we like, if we will let it, if we will join as "One with" it against the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current life of "separation from" everything on the "outside" of us, that our awakened wisdom has liberated our soul from its cross within us, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us, and sin, that our awakened wisdom has liberated our soul, liberated Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, from our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, from our life of sin, of "selfishness", in the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil within us.

Because for us to "See God and Steady Him" within us means that we have become "One with" the absolutely pure faith of "John the Baptist" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us.

Which means, that in truth,

          "There is nothing other than God" within us.
          "Only God exists" within us.
          And "God is One" within us. Amen."

Which in truth is the faith that allows us to see the "Light of man" within God within us, which is our soul within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, which in truth is our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" our awakened soul, as the "Light of the Purity of God" within us, which in truth is the first step of Iman-Islam within us, which is "Seeing God" within us, which is then followed, if we like, by the second step of Iman-Islam, which is "Steadying God" within us, which is seeing the original "Light of God" within us, and disappearing back into it, from which we have all come, which is "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, which is established within us by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within us, by the 8 main Prophets of God within us: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and finally by the first and the last Prophet of God, by Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him). Amen.

And in this way, then having "Seen God", to then "Steady God" within us, as the "Light of God" for our age, which in truth is our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" our liberated soul, as the "Light of the Purity of God" within us, which then goes in search of, finds, and then becomes "One with" the "Original Light of God" within us, the original light which God placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, which in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the Nur Muhammad within us, the Light of our wisdom, the light of our 7th level of wisdom within us, or Divine Luminous Wisdom within us, the wisdom which then reveals the "Light of God" within the "Kingdom of God" within us through "True Prayer" within us. Amen.

And such is the true "Oneness" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) and of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, although they are seen and referred to as "separate" on the "outside" of us, which in truth within us is this two step process which reveals the "Light of God" within us for our age, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God for our age.

With the first step within the first step, of the first step of "Seeing God" within us, being joining in partnership with God within us, to obtain the "Perfectly Pure Faith" of
"John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) within us, through which all men can believe in the Light of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, for in truth without the "Faith of John the Baptist" there can be no "Seeing" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, or
"
Hearing His Words", either within us and on the "outside" of us, or "Believing in the One who sent Him", which is the prerequisite for an "Everlasting Life", for "Not coming into condemnation", and for "Passing from death unto life", all of which is beautifully recorded for us by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him) in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, Verses 6 to 14, and in Chapter 5, Verse 24, as follows:

2-3-7. Quotations From The "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01 & 05

-- Beginning of Quotations From "Gospel of John": Chapters 01 and 05 --

"Gospel of John", Chapter 01, Verses 6 to 14:

"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lightened every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him
not.

He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the Suns (the Lights) of God (to the world), even to them that believe in His name.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth."

"Gospel of John", Chapter 05, Verse 24:

"Verily, verily, I say unto to you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him
that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life".

Expanded Summary of Topic 3-0:

Establishing The Presence of God Within Us before we "say or do" anything, by saying the "Name of God" for our age, that is, by saying the "Name of our Wisdom" for our age, and of God within our wisdom.

In this way, calling our wisdom to come from the "Place of God" within us, to come from the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, which is where God currently lives within us, and come into the "Place of impurity" within us, into the "Place of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us.

In this way, calling our wisdom to come from the "Place of God" within us, to come from the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, which is where God currently lives within us, and come into the "Place of impurity" within us, into the "Place of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us.

And in this way, allowing our Wisdom to stand up within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down within us, perhaps for the very first time within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us.

In this way establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, before we sin, on the "outside" of us, because in truth God lives within our wisdom within us, and now so must we, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, as the "Witness" of what God is doing within us, if we are truly "born again", if we truly "die before death", before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen

                                                                                - go to "Expanded Summary of Topic 3-0"
Text of Topic 3-0:

In this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, in order to truly establish the "Presence of God" within us, we must call our wisdom within us, we must call our wisdom to come out of the "Place of Purity" within us, which is where our wisdom lives within us, along with all of the other "Stuff of God" within us, like the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, we must call our wisdom to come out of the "Place of Purity" within us, and to come into the "place of impurity" within us, which is where we currently live within us, which is our mind and desire within us, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, our current life of sin, of "selfishness" that is "separating us" from God within us. Amen.

And in this way, allowing our wisdom within us to stand up within us, and causing our mind and desire within us to sit down within us, allowing "God's will be done" within us, not "our will" on the "outside" of us, allowing God within us to complete what God has started within us, not what "we in our ignorance' that that "we are currently doing" on the "outside" of us, allowing God within us to complete what God started within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to the earth world, which is for God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, even before we came to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools within us, to this "School of Contrast" within us, so we can come to understand everything that is currently "separating us" from God within us.

Such is the true purpose of our life, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and how we can now, if we like, join in partnership with God within us, with our source, to complete this purpose, in our lifetime. Amen.

And in this way, having passed our exams, and graduated from this first of God's Schools within us, to then go off to the next of God's Schools within us, for this is just the first of many of God's Schools within us, to then go off to the "School of Light"
within us, which is where God will personally and ever so lovingly teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us, about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is "who we are" within us, as the story of the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, and as the Witness of God and True Man within us, telling Their story. Amen.

And the "Name of God" for our age, is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, is the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, is the name of the "Word of God"
for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which in truth is each of us living in this age, both within us and on the "outside" of us.

Which in truth, for our age, is the name 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, is the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth are the same, if we like. Amen.

My dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is the "Name of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, the name of the "Place of Purity" within us, for our age, the name for our age of the place within each of us where God, where the
"Children of God", and where all of the "Stuff of God" currently resides within us, as well as the name of "What God is doing" within us, which is God revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.

And in this way, this is the "Name of our wisdom" within us, for our age, which we need to call into action within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, which is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him).

Which we need to call into action within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, if we expect to become successful in our lifetime, that we need to call into action within our "place of impurity" within us, allowing our wisdom to stand up within us, and causing our mind and desire to sit down within us.

In this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, in this way, allow us to "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God within us to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, revealing "Us" as "One with" God within us, allow God within us to then "Cure Himself" of His dream within God within us, to awaken to Himself within Himself within us, to "Cure Himself" of the illusory "outside" of us, and of the "false inside" of us, once "we" have truly joined in partnership with God within us to be completely done with it, with the "outside" of us.

In this way, with "Us" replacing the "false inside" of us with the "True Inside" of us, which is "God within us, His Children within us, and the Kingdom of God within us", as "One" within us.

And within that within us, is the next world within us, is akhirah or the hereafter within us, is "God and True Man" within us, as "One" within us, and "We will be within it", with "Us" as the Witness, as the Witness of the telling within us, and of the bringing to completion within us, of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, as in truth an apple tree is really the
"Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Fruits", which in truth is the apple tree and its fruits, and again the apple seed, which is the story, the story on the "outside" of us that is pointing to the story within us. Amen.

So before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, if we truly want to become successful in our lifetime, please say the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen",
or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him).

In this way, with "us" as "separate from" God within us, and as "separate from" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, stepping back, so God within us can step forward within us, so God within us and "us" within us now as "One with" God within us, can step forward within us on the "Path of God" within us, which leads us back into the "Oneness of God" within us, into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, and "We will be within it", as the Witness.

In this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and affirming the "Divinity" of us, and of God within us, before we "say or do" anything, affirming the "Oneness" of man within God within us, and of God within man within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us.

In this way, allowing the "illusory outside" of us, and the "false inside" of us, to come to an end, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and for the "true inside" of us to be revealed within us, or at least start to be revealed in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, so God within us can then "Do everything else".
In this way, revealing the "true inside" of us, which is the "Place of Purity" within us, allowing it to come into existence within our heart within us, in this way, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" as "separate from" Him within us, before we die to the flesh.

Allowing God to again "Become God" within us, as He did before, but this time within us, this time within our heart within us, that is, in order for "us" to become "God within us", that is, in order for "us" as "One with" God within us, to become God within the "Creation of God" within us.

That is, but this time for God joined as "One with" us within us, and "us" joined as "One with" God within us, to become "One" with the Creation of God within us, to become God within the handful of earth called Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, that God placed within us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools within us, to this "School of Contrast" within us. Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, this is the truth, the truth of us, and the truth of God within us. May we all come to know this truth within us, without the slightest doubt, for if we have doubt, then "we are out", knowing and then becoming this truth within us before we die to the flesh, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, before it is too late, letting this "Seed of the Oneness of God and True Man" within us germinate, letting this truth germinate within us, and grow into the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the "Fruits of God" within us, revealing the "Taste of God" within us, and again the seed, but this time a 1000 fold.

And doing all of this, as "One with" God within us, or at least truly starting it, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh.

That is, before we die in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and then have to go to Hell within us, not to God within us, then have to go to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which in truth is the only hell within us, no matter what we may call it, in our ignorance, even if in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we have decided to call it heaven.

That is, even if in our arrogance about our ignorance we have decided to call the hell within us heaven, the hell that we have in our ignorance built within us, and that we are now experiencing as the "outside" of us, as our heaven, until we die to the flesh, and then for the first time see hell within us, see the very real but false inside of us, which is the true hell within us, no matter what we may call it.

For no matter what we call it, the "outside" of us is the smell of the hell within us, this is for sure, for even if you call a dog "tiger", it is still only a dog, it will never be a "tiger", and the "outside" of us is only leading us to the hell within us. This is certain.
May we all come to know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, and correctly set our intention for the life within us, for our soul life, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us. That would be good.

We must join in partnership with God within us to" make God's intention" our search, and then join in partnership with God within us to "intend as God" intends" within us, that is, to make the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

Because the current "outside" of is truly pointing to hell within us, no matter what we may call it, that is, it is pointing to an eternal "separation from" God within us, to an eternal "separation from" our true brothers and sisters within us, and to an eternal "separation from" the Creation of God within us, even if we give the name heaven to our hell, to the illusory "outside" of us.

May God grant us the grace of His wisdom to join in partnership with God within us, in order to truly conduct our life in this way, living again as "One with" with God within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership within God within us, to truly start this "Journey of True Love", of "Oneness", along the "Path of God" within us, before we die to the flesh.

For then "God will do everything else", to make it so with us, that is, to bring us back to Him, to finish what God has started within us, and in this process, to bring us back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, as the Witness. Amen.

This is God's Promise, this is God's Guarantee for our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we just join in partnership with God within us to step out in this direction, on the "Path of God" within us, with the Perfectly Pure faith of "John the Baptist" within us, with our Iman.

That is, with our absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth:

          "There is nothing other than God" within us.
          "Only God exists" within us. And,
          "God is One" within us . Amen".

Then God will do everything else, if we like, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Amen.

4-0.  A Message From God - within us all, to our dearest loving brother Aron, and to all of us living in this age, if we like, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we 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 very real possibility for our age

It was so very clear, at least to this child, that the connection between Aron and his mother, and her connection to God, and her prayers to God for Aron, was what finally saved Aron, after he had finally given up and resigned himself to the death that was quickly creeping up on him, after 6 days in the grip of what he had earlier come to love and investigate, which is "Nature", and what he has sadly again come to love and investigate, quickly forgetting the "message" that God was sending him, the message of "Escape".

The message from God, that came into the heart of this child, as we sat at the feet of God for our age, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we only want it, if we truly want to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

The "Message from God" within us all, as follows:

"Escape while you still can, my dearest loving Sun, and come back to Me, come back to Me before you physically die to the "outside" of you, before you get caught again, but this time with Me letting your fate have its way with you, this time without my intervention, this time with Me letting you die to the flesh, letting you die to the "outside" of you, because you failed to listen."

"Because you failed to take advantage of this "Second Chance" that I gave to you, because of your mother's love for Me, and then if you fail this second time, with Me letting you spend an eternal life as "separate from" Me, because that is the "Message" that you have sent to Me, by the way you have lived your life, both the first time around, and then after My intervention, the second time around, even with the prayers of your mother, even with her connection to Me, because then if you fail again, I have no choice".

"For what am I to do with you, but give you what you want, and if you fail again, like you did t he first time, then in truth you do not want Me, you do not want Me as "One with" you, you are not willing to give up your life on the "outside" of you as "separate from" Me, you are not willing to save Me as I saved you, you are not willing to bring Me back to life within you, as I brought you back from the edge of death within Me, you are not willing to again become "One with" Me within you, before your fate finally has its way with you, before you die to the flesh."

"You are not willing to bring Me back to life within you again, as "One with" Me within you, so we together as "One", both within you and within Me, can finish what I have stated a very, very long time ago within you, which is to tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and within Me within you, and in this way, to reveal God to God within you, and to reveal True Man to True Man within Me within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and of all of the Creation of True
Man within Me within you.  Amen."

"So what am I to do with you, but in the end let you have what you want, what your have said that you want by your actions, by the way that you have lived your life, not just by what you say, because your words and your actions are not the same, such is the hypocrisy of your life, my dearest loving son, such is the truth of your life, the saying of one thing but the doing of another.  So what am I to do with you, but in the end give you what your life has told Me you truly want, which if you die in your current state is an eternal life as "separate from" Me."

"But you still can change all of this, your still have time, now that I have given you a second chance, through the love and devotion to Me of your mother, so use it wisely my son, use this second chance to again become "One with" Me, before you die to the flesh, before you physically die to the "outside" of you, because if you die then in your current state, in your current state of "separation and differences", in your current state of "I and you", of "mine and yours", then what am I to do with you, but give you that state for eternity.  The choice is truly yours, not Mine."

"Please reflect upon these beautiful words of grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine
knowledge that you are now hearing, and step out in this direction, and I will do everything else, this is My guarantee, to bring you back home into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and within Me within you, if this is your true intention for the life We have given you, but this time with an understanding of "Our" Oneness so it will never leave "Us" again, a state "We" will share for eternity."

"Please know this now my dearest loving son and start to act accordingly, before it is too late, and you force Me to sent you to hell for eternity.  Amen."

5-0.  Our Story - which is "us" coming to the First of God's School, to the "School of Contrast", to understand what "separates us" from God, and having learned our lessons, having passed our exams, having graduated from this First of God's Schools, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, we must then go off to the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light", where God will personally and every so lovingly teach us about God within us, and then about True Man within God within us.  Amen

The story that you told with Aron as part of the TV program on his "life changing" experience was a beautiful and interesting story but in truth, on a higher level, it is "Our Story", it is the story of each one of us living in the world today, with each of us coming to the same place within us that Aron came to in the desert on the "outside" of him, the place that now has each of us in a death grip, unless God intervenes in our life, and like in Aron's case, with each of us gradually coming to the place that in our ignorance we have come to love and investigate earlier, but which now has us in its death grip, and which can turn on us at any time, ending our life, as it was ready to do so in Aron's case.

Ending our life in this First of God's Schools, in the "School of Contrast", where we have all come to learn our lessons, pass our exams, and graduate, before we die to the flesh, where we have come to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then having learned these lessons go off to the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light" where God Himself will teach us about God within us, about who we "Already are", and then about True Man within God within us.

And perhaps ending our life before we have learned all of our lessons in this First of God's Schools within u s, before we have passed all of our exams, and before we have graduated from the "School of Contrast" within us, and that would be no good for any of us, for by dying in this state, in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us we will never get a chance to go to the next of God's School, never get a chance to go to the "School of Light" and learn about God within us, learn about who in truth we "Already are", and then learn about True Man within God within us, from God within us, and then learn about God within True Man within God within us from True Man within God within us, and in this way, learn about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us.  Amen.  

Such is the danger that we all currently face, my dearest loving brothers, that Aron's story clearly points out, if we have the wisdom to realize it, and the precarious edge upon which we all sit at this very moment, as we wait to either "Get it", and change our life accordingly, gradually using God within us to becoming again "One with" God within us, both now, before we die to the flesh, and later, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, or "Not get it", and in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, keep our life the same until we die, and when we die, get that same life of "separation from" God within us for eternity.

Such is the only true choice in our life, my dearest loving brother Tom and Aron, an eternal life either as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for everything else in our life is just drama, the drama of "separation and differences" played out on the "outside" of us. 

A drama that in truth we can only truly win if we "Don't play", if we join in partnership with God within us to learn to "Do nothing correctly", to learn to do everything by first invoking the "Presence of God" within us, to learn to step back in our life, before we "say or do" anything, so God can step forward in His life, and in this way saving His life as He has saved our life, and become His witness, the witness of His life within us, and then the witness of the life of True Man within Him within us.

And finally, the witness of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, allowing both God and True Man within us to complete what They set out to do, a very, very long time ago, and in this way, truly making our life "One" with Them within us, truly becoming again "One with" God and True Man within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly start our life out again in that direction, before we die to the "outside" of us, as it was in the world of souls, and in the womb of our mother, and for the first 2 years of our life here, in this earth world, before we,

          "Before we forgot God and fell into many a trap".

For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tried to teach us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age, as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, 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,

          "Man appearing on this earth forgets God, and falls into many a trap.  He does
          not know to seek himself, although God exists within man.  This book,
          "The Pearl of Wisdom" is provided to explain this concept (of Tawhid) in detail."

This quotation is the opening sentence in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom
Forward.homestead.com) of the beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), which was orally transmitted to a scribe in 1946 by His Holiness on the Island of Ceylon, which is now called Sri Lanka.

And the concept of Tawhid is the heart and soul and wisdom of the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and is refereed to in the Islamic tradition as the "affirmation of the unity of Allah", but can also be viewed on a higher level as "Our Story", that is, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Creation of God, or the "Earth of God", within us.

Or if we like, the story of the "apple tree and its fruits" within the apple seed buried within the earth, since in truth one is just God's way of point us to the other, that is, the example of the "oneness" of the apple tree, its fruits, and the apple seed buried within the earth, is just one of God's ways of using His Creation to point "us" to the truth of us, to the "Oneness" of God and True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we have the heart and soul and wisdom for it, and to then truly turn our life in that direction, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within us.

In this way, letting the truth of us, which is the "Seed of God' buried within the Creation of God within us, and the truth of God within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, happen within us, or said another way, to let "True Man happening" within "God happening' within the "Earth of God" within us, happen within us, or at least truly start to happen within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, and with "us" then becoming the "Witness", the "Witness" of all of this happening, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within God within us.  Amen.

With "us" becoming the "Witness" of the Light, as "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him did at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago.

For as recorded in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, Verses 1 to 15, we are told about "John the Baptist", who came as a "Witness" to the Light of God, so that "all men through him might believe in the Light of God" for that age, as follows:

--- Beginning of Quotation From the "Gospel of John", Chapter 01 ---

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light."

"That was the true Light, which lightened every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the (the Lights) of God (to the world), even to them that believe in His name. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth."

"John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He whom I spake, He that
cometh after me is preferred before me; for He was before me. And from His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Sun (or Light of man, Light of man within God, or Life within God, which is our soul), which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him."

And so too it is within each of us in our age, my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, like "John the Baptist" before us, we too must become the "Witness" of the Light of God for our age, but for our age that Light of God is truly within each of us, not "outside" of us as in the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), if we like, if we will but find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with the life and teaching of God for our age, with the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, with His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us).

With His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, if that be our true intention, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

                                                                                - go to "Text of Topic 06"
Expanded Summary of Topic 06:

An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it
is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the
apple tree hidden within it to grow, and because the earth then become aware that the
apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and that the
earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow, and then out of this
mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed
surrenders to the earth, and the apple seed germinates.

That is why an apple seed germinates, because of awareness, because the apple
seed becomes aware of the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and
then lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, and becomes the witness of what
then occurs.

That is why an apple seed germinates, because it becomes aware of the truth of itself,
that it is the seed of something else, it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and
the truth of what lies hidden within it, of the apple tree, that the apple tree in truth is
also the seed of something, it is the seed of the apple fruit, as the apple fruit is also
the seed of something else, of the apple seeds within the apple fruit, the seeds of the
next cycle of apple trees.

And as such "They" are all "One", the apple seed buried within the earth, the apple
tree hidden within it, the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree, and again the apple
seeds hidden within the apple fruits.  "They" are all "One", one within the other as one,
one revealing the other within it, one hiding itself in the one being revealed only to be
reveal again in the next cycle, in the next cycle of the
Apple-AppleTree/AppleTree-Apple.

Text of Topic 06:

One day "In the "room", which is what we affectionately called the place His Holiness lived when He was in America, between 1971 and 1986, when He died in that "room",  which was His residence at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
          
One day in the "room", our dear Father, His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), look at His Children, which He called all of us, and asked us a question, which changed the life of this child, and will change your life, and the life of all who hear His answer, whether they want to hear it or not.  Such is the nature of truth, my dearest loving brothers.

He asked,

      "Why does an apple seed germinate?"

Now we all tried to answer the question, and all of our answer had to do with the elements, with the earth, fire, water, and air, and with the sky and colors, which His Holiness called ether.

His Holiness took in all of our answers, sitting on the bed where He spent most of His time, since He was well over 100 years old, and was very sick most of the time, though He told us that He was only sick because He was taking on all of our illnesses, not His.

Then His Holiness looked up at us, with a smile that melted our hearts, and said to us,

-- Beginning of Quotation From His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) --

No my dearest loving children, that is not why an apple seed germinates.

An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow.  Then the earth becomes aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow.

Then out of that mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and that is why an apple seed  germinate.

This is why an apple seed germinates, my dearest loving children, through awareness, through the realization of the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to both hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, because not all apple seeds germinate, some rot in the earth and are absorbed back into the earth only to be reborn over and over age, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the story of the "Oneness" of the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits, the story which it came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell.  Never again as this.

This is why an apple seed germinates, my dearest loving children, through self awareness, through the realization and acceptance of the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready, not because of any influence of the 5 elemental forces that it is buried within, like the earth, fire, water, air, or ether or sky.

Like this, in truth man is the seed of God, and He is buried within God, within the Creation of God within man, and God contains everything necessary for that seed of God to grow into the Tree of God, which is God, and bear the Fruits of God, which is True Man, everything necessary to tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", we came to the "Earth of God", which is the Creation of God within us, to tell. 

But like all apple seed don't germinate, not all men and women will do this with their life, not all men and women will give up their current life of "separation and differences" as they are currently experiencing it in their ignorance on the "outside" of us, and "die before death", and be truly "born again", before death". 

For to do so in your age is very, very rare, but you still can, if you like, if the true
intention for your life is to again become "One with" with God within you, before you die to the flesh, if you will only find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, which is the life and teaching of God, the "Word" of God for your age, which will awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul.

Allowing your wisdom to liberate your soul, your pure birth and life, from the "Enemy of your soul", from your impure birth and life, which is the "outside" of you, which is what is keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you crucified on the cross of your elemental body, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of you, so "you can sin", so you can continue to live a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the current "outside" of you.

And then get as your reward from God within you an eternal life of the current "inside" of us, which are all the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance, but which in your ignorance you only see as "you" and the "outside" of you, which in truth is what is currently separating you from God within you, and in this way, with you, if you die in your current state, getting an eternal life as "separate from" God within you. 

Such is your current state, and your fate, if you die in your current state.  For what else is God to do with you, since you ignored or rejected what God planned for you, and the "Word" of God for your age, calling on you "one last time" to stop all of your "working for wages to get into heaven", and instead to join in partnership with God within you, to finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  Amen..

And in this way, when man comes to the point in his life when this truth of himself and of God within him, naturally emerges from within him, that in truth he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and God within him is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God.

And in this way, he is "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within him, and God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within him, and if at that time he lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within him, if at that time he realizes, understands, accepts, and joins with that truth of himself, and of God within him, then God within the Creation of God within him will realize that man now knows "Who he is", that man now knows that he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and in this way, that in truth he is "God happening" within the Creation of God within him.

And God will realize that man now knows "Where he is", that he is within the Creation of God within Him, and that man now knows "What is happening" within him, as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within him, that in truth, he is "God happening" within the Creation of God within him, which in maturity is revealed within the Creation of God within him by God within him, as the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within him, with the "Trunk of God" for that tree, being "Pure and Perfected Faith" in God or Iman", which is unshakable, complete, absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within him, and only in God within him, that in truth, in the Islamic tradition, La illaha, "There is nothing other than God" within us, Il Allahu, "You are Allah" within us, and Muhammadar Rasul Allah, "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" within us. Amen."

And with the "Branches of God" on that tree, being the 124,000 Heavenly beings,
Prophets, and Lights of God within him, and with the "Fruits of God" on that tree, being the 6,666 Verses of the Holy Qur'an, which in truth includes all of the "Word" of God for the last 200 million years, both within us, as our "Purified and Perfected Heart", and on the "outside" of us, as examples that speak to a particular people in a particular age, dealing with both universal concerns, but also dealing with local concerns.

And in this way, in truth the Holy Qur'an, or the "Word of God", is always truly within you, as your birth right, as your true heritage, and in truth contains everything, in truth is immutable, and always "speaks to your faith", in each age, coming in each age both within you, and on the "outside" of you, as the "Gift of God" for each age, as the "Life and Teaching of God" for each age, as the "Word of God" for each age, for the "Children of God" for each age.

And in this way, in truth, coming in your age, both within you and on the "outside" of you, as the life and teaching of your dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, as the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of You), which in truth is each of you living in this age, if you like, if you want it, if the true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is for it to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh.  Amen.

And in this way, picking up again on the earlier point, when you awaken to the "truth of you", when you join in partnership with God within you, to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, that through that, to realize, understand, and accept, without the slightest doubt, that in truth you are the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, then God within you will realize, that the "Seed of God" within you, is ready to germinate, and in this way, to reveal God within you, that is, then God within you will "Do Everything Else".

For then God within you, as your wisdom within the Creation of God within you, as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul within you, will begin again to "Move Forward" within you the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, if you like, because it is truly always your choice, not God's choice, that is, it is always your choice about how far you will allow God within you, and then True Man within God within you, to move forward Their Story within you, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, and in this way, the Choice is always yours, not Theirs.

For example, the choice is yours, right now, after reading this "Word of God" for your age, for the Children of God for your age, that is, to either accept it or not, to accept this as truly the "Word of God" for your age, naturally emerging from within you, because like the apple seed buried within the earth, now you are ready to both hear it, and to either accept or reject it, and to accept or reject yourself as the true "Child" of God for your age, for in truth there is only "One Child", as in truth there is only "One Teacher", as in truth God within you is both the True Child or Disciple of God, and the True Teacher of Shaikh of God, and in truth "They are One", in truth "They are the One", for in truth "God is One".  Amen.

And in this way, to join in partnership with God within you to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age, realizing, understanding, accepting, and becoming "One with" the "Life and Teaching of God" within you, both within you and on the "outside" of you, realizing that in truth, then God within you will "Do Everything Else", both within you and on the "outside" of you, for this is "God's Promise", and "God's Guarantee" for you living in your age.

In this way, if you like, if you will only let Him, if you will only join as "One with" Him, with God within you closing down the world of hell within you, which is the false creation within you, the section of your elemental body below your waist, then close down the world of jinns within you, which is false destruction within you, the section of your body known as the stomach, and close down the world of fairies within you, which is false life within you, the lives of the impure spirits within you, the section of your body currently known as your chest.

And then to re-opening the world of souls within you, awakening your 6th level of wisdom within you, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the wisdom surrounding your soul within you, if you like, so it can liberate your soul within you, which is your pure birth and life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, from His cross within you, which is the "Enemy of your soul" within you.

In this way, if you like, for the choice is always, not God's, with your awakened wisdom liberating your pure life and birth within you from your impure birth and life within you, by pulling out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of you and sin, and in this way, liberating Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you from His Cross within you, which is your current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, which is your current life of sin, of "selfishness" that you are currently living with your dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that you currently see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but which is all false and not true, either within you or on the "outside" of you.

And in this way, returning Adam (peace be upon Him) within you to the state He was
in before His fall from grace, but this time with an understanding of His fall from grace,
so it will never happen to Him again, in this way, transforming your heart, the area of
your body currently known as your chest, that is, everything below the neck, and
above the stomach,  into the "Palace of the Soul" within you, into the "House of
Wisdom" within you, into the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani
(may God be pleased with Him) within you, this time with the "Eye of Wisdom" on the
forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the 7th level of wisdom
within you, permanently open within you, so satan can no longer approach Adam
(peace be upon Him) and Eve (peace be upon Her) within you, and lead Them (peace
be upon Them) astray within you.

Then opening the kingdom of God within you, which is transforming the handful of earth that is Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) within you, into the 8 heavens within you, with the 1st heaven becoming Adam (peace be upon Him) wearing a Crown of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within you, a Crown which is then Eve (peace be upon Her) within you, and the 8th heaven becoming the kingdom of God within you, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you.

In this way, transforming the Holy Trinity of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which is the "Purified Heart" within you, and the Triple Flame of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, which is the "Perfected Heart" within you, or Iman-Islam within you, into the true "Place of Worship" within you, which is the "Secret World of Allah" within you, the place within you where "True Prayer" can occur within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, in this way, completing the "Path of God" within you.  Amen.

In this way, "Making Straight the Way of the Lord" within you, making straight the way of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, and then of "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) within you, the way of "Perfected Faith" or of Iman within you, and the way of Purity or Sivam within you, which is the way of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, of the "Light of man" within God within you, as the "Light of Purity" within you.

And then bringing this Purity of God within you to maturity within you, as the "Light of God' within you, as the "Straight Path" or "Siratal Mustaqueem" of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, as Iman-Islam within you, as the "Place of True Prayer" within you, where God worships God within you, for in truth "Only He may worship Him, no one else can do this", and doing all of this, or at least truly joining in partnership with God within you, to again start it all up again within you, that is, to "Move Forward" again the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, before you die to the flesh on the "outside" of you.

And in this way, with God within you completing all of this within you, if you like, if you will just let Him, if you will just let the current body and life of "separation and differences" come to an end within you, if you will just let it freely and peacefully come to an end within you, both within you and on the "outside" of you, so God can then "Do Everything Else, for this is "God's Promise", this is "God's Guarantee" for your age.

And in this way, then God within you will realize that man now knows, understands, accepts, and joins with the "truth of himself", that is, with "who he is", that he is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within him, and that God within you contains everything necessary for that "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of God" to grow, that is, hidden within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within him, and in this way, man surrenders to God and God surrenders to man, and the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within you germinates, destroying the "outside" of you, and revealing the "Tree of God" within you, growing within the Creation of God within you.  Amen..

And in this way, in truth, with "you", as the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, within the Creation of God within you, that is, buried on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, as "God happening" within God within you.

And with God within you, as "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and in this way, with God within you becoming the "Sweet taste" within the mature "Fruit of God" within the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within you, and True Man within God within you as the One within you, as the One within you who tastes those "Fruits of God" and then distributes them to all of His Creation within you, if they like, bringing them to completion within you, if they like.

Which becomes the "Day of Judgment" within you, before you die to the flesh on the "outside" of you, allowing all of the Creation of God within you, to again become "One with" God within you, if they like, or to be discarded again from God within you, by God within you, if they don't like, for this is the only way they will ever leave you, that is, the only way that the incomplete Creation of God within you, will ever leave you, either having come to completion within God within you, or having been discarded again from within God within you, by God within you, as God did so before within Himself, in order to become God within you, with God within you now doing it again, but this time within you, if you will only let Him, if you will only get Him to do it again, by joining Him in what He is doing within you, by giving up the "outside" of you, by giving up all that "you think in your ignorance" that you are currently doing on the "outside" of you, which in truth is only leading you to hell, is only leading you to an eternal life of "separation from" God, both now, and after you die to the flesh, if you die in your current state of "separation and differences". Amen.

By you getting God within you, to do it again, to become "God again", but this time within you, by making "you" as "separate from" Him within us, into His problem within Him, not into your problem on the "outside" of you, because only God can cure you, of "you" as "separate from" Him, by passing judgment on the incomplete Creation of God within you, in this way, destroying the "false inside" of you, and the illusory "outside" of you without destroying you, that it, doing it without destroying you, because by truly join in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh, then "you" as "separate from" God within you is no longer you, no longer exists as "One with" you, and can leave, or be destroyed without you leaving or being destroyed, and the Choice is yours, not God's.

And at this point in the Story, the Choice is theirs, not God's, and not ours, for both God and "you" have already made your choice, and "You" chose "Oneness with", not "separation from", now the Creation of God within you must also choose, as part of their day of Judgment, and if they fail to choose, before we die to the flesh, then God within you, as He did before, will choose for them, based on how they have chosen to live within you, either as "One with" or as "separate from".  Amen.

And in this way, if you choose "One with" within you, not "separation from" within you, before you die to the flesh, then in truth They are all "One" within you, that is, and God can then finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago, even before you were born into this earth world.

And in this way, then God within you and everything within God within you, which is the Stuff of God within God within you, are all "One" within you, and in this way, They are the "One" within you, that is, as the Creation of God within you, as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within you, as God within our wisdom, and as True Man within God within you, They are all "One" within you, They are the "One" within you, They are all the "One" Cycle of "God-Man/Man-God' within you, They are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, that we came to the "Earth of God", to join as "One with" the "Earth of God", to tell, if we like, because not all people germinate to the truth within themselves, even after it has been revealed to them, as it is now being revealed to each of you, in this Spiritual Letter.

As in truth, the earth, the apple seed buried within the earth, the apple tree growing within the earth, and the apple fruits on that apple tree, are all "One", are all the "One" cycle of "AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree, are the story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its apples", that it came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, because not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within themselves, even after it has been revealed. 

Such is our fate, the fate of both of you, the fate of the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within you, and the fate of the apple seed buried within the earth, for the Choice is ours, not God's.

And in this way, "you", and God within you, and True Man within God within you are all "One", are in truth "The One".

And if you hear and accept the truth of you within you, and the truth of God within you, which is "Oneness", and let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, in this way, letting God within you finish what He has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, but this time with an understanding of your "Oneness" so it will never leave you again, then when God within you, and True Man within God within you are finished, finished telling Their Story, then, "You will be within it, as the Witness, as the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you, the Witness of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. Amen".

And in this way, "you", and God within you, and True Man within God within you are all "One", are in truth "The One", and when you let this be re-established within you, but this time with an understanding of your "Oneness" so it will never leave you again, be re-established within you, in partnership with God within you, and in partnership with True Man within God within you, then in this way, you will be within it, as the Witness, as the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you, the Witness of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell.  Amen.

Allowing God within man to now know, that man within God now knows, that in truth "They are all One", that in truth "They are the One", and as such, he currently is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within Him, and that God within him, as the Creation of God within him, contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within him to germinate and to grow into the "Tree of God" within him, and bear the "Fruit of God" within him, again revealing the "Seed of God" within him, but this time a 1000 fold.

Allowing God within man to now know that man within God now knows, that as such, he is now the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within him, and that God within him, as the 18,000 Universes within him, contains everything necessary for "True Man to happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within him, everything necessary for the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" to be told, and come to completion within him, as God and True Man within him, and "You will be within it", as the Witness.

Then out of this mutual awareness, God surrenders to man within Him and man
surrenders to God within him, and True Man is revealed within the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within you, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation. 

And then God is revealed within the Creation of True Man (which is the next world, or hereafter or akhirah) within you, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation", and in this way revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man, and "You will be within it", again as the Witness".

Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. 
Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.
Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.
Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. 

So be it, So be it, O Ruler of the Universes.
So be it, So be it, O Most Merciful One.
So be it, So be it, O Most Compassionate One.
All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone.
Only God is Great.

Expanded Summary of Topic 07:

May we learn to do this with our life, to do at least what an apple seed does, that is,
to germinate and reveal what God has hidden within it, that is, for "us" in partnership
with God within us, to let what has been hidden within us by God within us to be
revealed by God within us, and we will be within it.

And in this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us becoming a
Witness of the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, becoming a Witness of what
God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of
the Creation of God within us, and we will be within it, and doing all of this within us,
before we die to the flesh, or at least truly joining in partnership with "God within us",
to truly start this journey of the soul within us back into God within us, back into the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, from which we have all  come.

For then God will do everything else, and we will be within it, for this is "God's
Promise", "God's Guarantee" for our age, and in this way, with "us" as "One with God
within us, returning to God within us, like the rain returning to the ocean, from which it
has come, having completed its duty as rain, as "separate from" the ocean, again
becoming the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, no longer existing as "separate
from" the ocean.  Amen

Text of Topic 07:

My dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron, please try to be patient with what we have shared with you in this Spiritual Letter, about the truth of us, and about the truth of God within us, as we know this provides a very different perspective about us, about our current life, that is, about the "outside" of us, and about God within us.

A very different perspective about our current life, about our source, which is God within us, and about the potential within each of us to truly return to our source, through our faith and trust in God within us, through our using God within us, to get to God within us.

That is, through our joining in partnership with God within us, to find and become "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, and through this "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, this "Word of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, for the "Children of God" for our age, to become truly successful in our lifetime.

For the "Children of God" for our age, which in truth is all of us living in our age, if we truly want it, if the true intention for our life within us, not on the "outside" of us, for our soul life within us, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.

Please give our love and salams (greetings from the heart) to all of your family and friends, especially to your mother my dearest loving brother Aron, for her true prayers to God within us all, which in truth allowed God to intervene in your fate, and save you life from your certain death in that canyon, hopefully for something more than mountain climbing.

Hopefully to be His true Child for our age, and to join in partnership with God within us to again become "One with" God within us, before you die to the flesh, and in this way, to first save your self, and then the rest of us, if we like, from the fate that we all have all truly earned for eternity, by the way we have lived our lives, which is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, guiding us all back into the "Oneness" within us, that is the true heritage, the true birth right, the destiny of our soul, if we like.

Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are all in our prayers.

And please try to join in partnership with the true "Gift of God" for our age, with the true "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, with the true "Word of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, which is each of us living in our age, if we want it.

Which in truth for our age, is the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and is God within Him, if we like, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us).  Amen.

May all the peace, the beneficence,  and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers Tom and Aron - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
