Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). A Note To Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket): - Here is "our contribution" or initial answer to "Question 02" for the book that Bawa instructed "us" to publish together. Please respond to our initial answer to "Question 02", as explained in this E-mail, if you like. Also we are now starting to respond to "your contribution" or initial answer to "Question 01". Ok? Bawa. My love you, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, you and your devoted wife Qadir-BeeBee are very good Children of God for our age, and so is this Child, if we like, for truly God has already given each of us living in this age all that we need to become truly successful in our age, if we Choose to use it, for the Choice in this case, to do this or not with our life, with what God has given to each of us, is most certainly now our Choice, not God's. Bawa. As part of preparing this Spiritual Letter to you and to our dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, we read over again, this time a little slower, "The Charter" that came into your heart, that is, for "us" to come together in love in order to "Publish" a book, a book it would seem that is produced by our "rubbing together", so we all get better in the process, which is like Bawa tells us, like stones with rough edges that are placed together in a bag, and then spun around, each knocking off each other's rough edges, with them all coming our of the bag as polished stones, now of greater value. Bawa. A Book which seems to be, from the perspective of this child, a "Love Book", or "A Book of Our Love" (www.ABookOfOurLove.homestead.com) that reflects our ability to put aside our "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and instead, to join in partnership with God within us, in order to come together in the Name of God for our age, so "God can be there" within us, to write and publish a collection of what it seems to us, to be our personal "Dialogue with God" within our hearts. Bawa. But which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, and within that, is "God praying to God" within us, and within that, is God revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth really has "nothing" to do with us, with "us" in our current state, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is just not true. Amen. Bawa. But all of which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, within each of us, if we like, with "us" having become the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, if we like, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age, and as the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) did in His age, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) did for His age. Bawa. And now as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us) can now do in our age, if we like, as the Children of God for our age, as the "Gift of God" for our age, which now on the "outside" us, as the Children of God for our age, is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), all of which is "The True Charter" between God and His Children for our age, if we like, for the Choice to become this or not, for our age, is our Choice, not God's. Amen. 1) "The True Charter" Within Us - is understanding "The Charter" that Bawa gave to us, on the "outside" of us, that is pointing to "The Charter" within us, that is, to "The Charter" that Bawa within us, and God within Him, gave to His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that They gave to all of the Children of God for this age, which is all of us living in this age, if we only want it, which is to come together "In His Name" for our age, so "He can be there" within our heart in our age, and continue to instruct us on how to "liberate our soul" from the "Enemy of the soul" within us, and then joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom and our liberated soul within us, to go in search of and find the "Nur Muhammad" within us, which is the "Light of our wisdom", so we can truly become successful in our lifetime, so we can truly walk the "Straight Path" within us and establish "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, and in this way, allow God within us, to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. And if we do, then in the end, "We will be within it", as True Man within God within us, and as God within True Man, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, after reading "The Charter" over again, that is, the Charter between "Bawa and Us" that you gave to us, we realized that "we" weren't doing what "we were told to do", at least, this child wasn't doing it right. [Note: We have included a complete on-line copy of "The Charter" as part of Spiritual Letter 88, which you can access by clicking above or HERE. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. For example, "The Charter" tell us, -- Beginning of Quotation from "The Charter" --- "Now the two of you are given one to the other, as the wife is given to the husband, to temper arrogance; as the earth is given to the mountains to control the arrogance of the wind of the air; as the fire is given to temper the arrogance of the earth; and as water is given to temper the arrogance of fire". "Each is given to place a certain limit upon the other. Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen is given to Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen so that he may place a limit upon the tricks of the mind, and so become the Tree of Faith and Wisdom which Allah is calling forth". "Asma'el is given to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen so that the craziness of his Louie mind does not overgrow the flower garden of his wisdom that has been planted and cultivated and entrusted to him by His Father, so that the beauty and fragrance of Allah Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen will permeate other hearts and lives, and not be hidden in the overgrowth of the mind's inclinations to engulf all that it encounters" "Therefore, when you come together, each must seek the guidance of the other's wisdom, not to ignore his own heart-wisdom, but to know that there is only One Wisdom that belongs to none but Allahuta'ala nayan". "Coming together in this way, it will be good for the two of you to write as a book, questions from each other to the Living Wisdom of Muhaiyaddeen, and answers from this Living Wisdom, in a way similar to "Bawa asks Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, which also must be published as a book some day". "This questioning and answering has to be done with love for one another, and love for the "Presence" of this "Father's Living Wisdom, that Allah has placed within each heart. It must be written or recorded and transcribed as it comes, and then there must be found an editor whom each of you trust without reservation, to make what is less clear more clear". "Your Father has entrusted the Word that is given to Him into the care of His Children for both translation and editing; therefore this is something necessary for each of you, so that the Truth may shine." "For though you may have inherited a mine of gold, still that gold does not become of true value even when it has been brought out of the mine, until it has been refined and polished, so that it can be recognized as true gold. Beyond this there is no need for decoration or embellishment of the Words We give to you". "Then make arrangements for the publishing of this work. It will be good if it is done with each alternating as questioner and respondent, but if you have difficulties with this, seek questions from Qadir Bibi or someone who loves the Wisdom that Allah brings forth from within each of your hearts". "If you wish, one may ask, the other may reply, the first may again respond to the reply, and the second with a final response. In this way, each will assist the other in digging even deeper, in peeling away more of the veils that surround Truth and Allah's Luminous Wisdom". "Allah has no end, My Sons, nor does His Truth or His Wisdom, therefore, think not that you can come to an end of Wisdom's Understanding and know that God is Greater". "Will you do it like this. It will be beneficial for so many hearts and there will be rejoicing among all of the Companions of the Throne. Meechum anbu, my love you Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. My love you Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen". "For each of you, the Wisdom of the Wife and Her love for Allah has been given as a blessing so that this "Heart-Work" can be performed without difficulty. Even when you may have seen difficulty, know this is only the tension with which the soil appears to resist the seed when it first begins to sprout. It is like a soft resistance, that becomes firm acceptance. Shari. Is it enough?" -- End of Quotation from "The Charter" -- 2) "Will You Do It Like This?" - Yes, Yes, Yes, Bawa, we will most certainly do it like this. Amen Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. So, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee (we got permission from Qadir-BiBi to also spell it this way), may we truly learn to "Do it like this". Ok?. Bawa. So in partnership with God within us, this is what "We" have now done, to better line up "Our Relationship" with "The Charter", that is, with what we are "Doing together" in the "Name of God" for our age, at the "Feet of God" for our age, which is, First - to start to respond to your initial answer to "Question 01" for our "Love Book" Second - as part of "Spiritual Letter 88", to provide you with "our contribution" or initial answer to "Question 02", for our "Love Book", so you can start to respond to it. Bawa. That is, with "us" doing the Second One above as part of our producing and sending you this "Spiritual Letter 88", this "Ten + Questions, and The Answers, From the Feet of God For Our Age", and requesting that you now select "one" of these "Ten + Questions And Answers" as "Question 02" for our "Love Book" and start to respond to it. Ok? 3) What is the "Secret in the Fear of God"? - which is the question which we agreed to earlier is "Question 01" for our "Love Book", and which you have now initially answered, and given us a copy, and which we are now initially responding to, all of which is our understanding from "The Charter" of "how we are to proceed". Ok? Status of First Question: On hold, for this child, up till now. Reason for the "On Hold" Status: Bawa. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, when you gave this child "your contribution" or initial answer to the first question, which was the day we went to the "Farm" together and visited with Baji, you told us "not to open and read it" until we had "contributed something" ourselves. Bawa. And for some reason this instruction really put a damper on this child, because in truth we never feel that we have "something to contribute", other than our faith and trust in God within us, that is, in our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and in God within Him, and now on the "outside", faith and trust in His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). And as a result, we have not yet opened what you gave to us, that is, we have not yet opened and read your contribution to the first question. Bawa. But now, with this beautiful "Spiritual Letter 88" coming to us, from God within us all, for the Children of God for our age, including a beautiful answer from this child to "Question 01" for our "Love Book", which is also "Question 01" in "Spiritual Letter 88", "we" certainly feel that we have now contributed something, and with your permission, we will open and read your contribution or initial answer to "Question 01", and then do what Bawa told us to do, that is, in "The Charter", if you like. Bawa. That is, "It will be good if it is done with each alternating as questioner and respondent". "One may ask, the other may reply, the first may again respond to the reply, and the second with a final response" [Note: For our reference, we have included a complete on-line copy of "The Charter", as part of "Spiritual Letter 88", exactly as Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen gave it to us, which you can access by clicking above or HERE, if we like, for the Choice to accept it as such, or not, that is, to accept it as coming into the heart of our dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, from Bawa within us, and from God within Him, to the Children of God for our age, in order to share the "Word of God" for our age, that God has personally and ever so lovingly written on each of our hearts, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. So now, with your permission Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), we will open, read, and respond to "your contribution" or initial answer to the first question, that is to "Question 01" of our "Love Book", or "What is The Secret in The Fear of God?". Bawa. And now, also if you like, will you please select one of the other questions, from any of the 12 questions, other than question 01, as listed in "Spiritual Letter 88", that is, that have an adequate "contribution" or initial answer, and make that "Question 02" for our "Love Book", and then read the "contribution" or answer to it, as provided by this child, that is, as provided in "Spiritual Letter 88", and then respond to it, if you like, as we will now do the same for "your contribution" or answer to "Question 01", and in this way, we should then be "on track", that is, doing it as Bawa requested that we do it. Ok? Bawa. That is, with both of "us" having answered a question, that is, with you answering "Question 01" and with us answering "Question 02" of our "Love Book", and with both of "us" having responded to an answer, that is, with to us responding to your "Answer 01", and with you responding to our "Answer 02". Ok? Bawa. And in the next cycle, that is, in the next cycle of "Question/Answer", that is, for Question 03/Answer 03, and if you like, for Question 04/Answer 04, either you or Qadir-BeeBee can come up with the question, if you like, and again, we should then be "on track, that is, doing it as Bawa requested that we do it. Ok? Bawa. Finally, please forgive this child if our previous behavior has offended you, or your dear wife Qadir-BeeBee (may God be pleased with Her), or any of our dearest loving brothers and sisters (may God be pleased with each of Us) in any way, for this is certainly not the intention of this child, and it is certainly in our heart to join as "One with" my dearest loving brothers and sisters to continue on with "The Charter" from God within us all, that came into your heart, for all of us, that is, to come together as "One" to publish our "Love Book", so that, as we are told in "The Charter", "It will be beneficial for so many hearts and there will be rejoicing among all of the Companions of the Throne". Ok? Bawa. For in truth we are all only trying to live at the Feet of God for our age, as much as we can, as often as we can, which 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 of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world today, if we like. Bawa. That is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. 4) A Closing Prayer - God loves us, and "My love you (anbu)", which is certainly enough for 200 million years Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, we are all very, very good Children of God for our age, and we must never forget that, for in truth God will always "See us through", no matter what, as long as we never let God of Him, that is, of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him. Bawa. And now on the "outside" of us, as long as we never let go of each other, remembering that in truth we are always the Grandchildren, the Sons and Daughters, and the Brothers and Sisters of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him) within us, and of God within Him, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, for in truth this is our true heritage, our true birthright for our age, the true destiny of our soul, for in our age, which in truth is like no age before it, for in our age this is now the "Truth of us" and the "Truth of God" within us, not because of anything that we have done, or anything that we have not done, but because of the infinite Mercy and Compassion of God within us, because of God's Love for us, because God has "Made it So" for our age. Amen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, and to all of the members of your family and friends. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And please try to join as "One with" Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, as this "Heart's Work" is in truth the only work that is truly appropriate for the Children of God for our age, which in our age are the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) ============================================================== A. Ten + Questions, And The Answers - while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, which 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 of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, to allow God within us to tell and Complete "His Story" within us, which is God within His Creation, making it into "Our Story" within "His Story", into True Man within God, so in the end, "No Child Will Be Left Behind", or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 1. What is the "Secret in the Fear of God"? a) References: 1) The Book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 8, "How the Awe-Inspiring God subdues pride" (1) "When man becomes arrogant, God controls him through the 5 elements and through death". (2) "In this state of things, there are many secrets called hikmath (hidden things) inside of man, and in the things mentioned above, as well as in those to be mentioned. These secrets can be known to man when he clarifies, improves, and realizes himself, and praises the Lord, forgetting the desire for land, and destroying the desire for woman". (3) "My Son, in this way, man has taken the body of hell, which is dust out of dust. Man resides within this stinking body, and grows like a smelling carcass. He lives in this body eating the dead foul-smelling carcass. He claims the egoism of "I", and becomes proud, thinking that there is none other than himself. He is even boastful with this destructive body of his". (4) "Realize this, my son, clarify and redeem yourself, gem of my eyes. Therefore, everything which appears on earth, and assumes pride, arrogance, and the egoism of "I", acquires the qualities of destruction. Seeing this, the Primal Lord has created every other thing to control such arrogance". (1) "The exhaling of the breath through the left nostril is known as the "Chandra kali" or the art of the moon breath. (2) "In similar fashion, the breath is inhaled with the resonance of the words "Ill Allahu", without raising the tongue, meaning, (a) "You are Allah. There is nothing other than You. Without You there is no other help, because I do not exist. You are with me. Be inside my heart. Do not be separated from me." (3) "This is the meaning of making "It" stay in the heart". (4) "This is done by inhaling the breath through the right nostril and establishing it in the heart". (5) "This is known as the "Suriya kali" or the art of the sun breath". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. In this way, the "Current State Of Man" is residing within the "Body of Hell" within himself, a body of hell that he has allow to grow within him, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within him, which is the original state of his heart, as the "Garden of Paradise", that he allowed to grow in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance. 2) Bawa. But also there are "Secret Hidden Things" (Hikmath) inside of man, which is everything that is "within God" within man, which can be of great value to man, if he will only join in partnership with God within him, to use them, because they are only available for his use in the "Presence of God" within him, not in the "presence of himself" on the "outside" of him, and this is the great "Secret of man", for either "man is present or God is present" within him, but never both. 3) Bawa. In this way, if man learns how to use the "Secret Hidden Things (Hikmath) of God within man, then he can overcome his fear of death, and his fascination and preoccupation with the life of death that he is currently experiencing on the "outside" of himself, a life where, (a) "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God, and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself (within himself), although God exists within man" (See the "Forward" to the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom") 4) Bawa. That is, a life of having "forgotten God" within him, that is, of having fallen "Our of the Presence" of God within him, and of having fallen in to the many traps of the 5 elements within him, like all of the desires and attachments of the 5, like desire for earth or form, for women or duality, and for gold or for "personal wealth" rather than "common wealth", all of which him the illusion of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of him, as if he is "separate from" God within him, as if he is "separate from" his brothers and sisters, and as if he is "separate from" Creation of God within him, all of which is just not true. 5) Bawa. So what will become of man, if he does not change, if he does not join in partnership with God within him, to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within him, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is "Our Story" within God's Story within the Creation of God within us, all of which we have come to this earth world within us, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to continue trying to live on the "outside", as if we are "separate from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's. 6) Bawa. And what will become of man, if he does not change, is he will go to an eternal hell of "separation from" after he dies to the flesh in his current state, first visiting the "suffering of the grave" where he will meet and become "one with" the 5 elemental spirits within him, the 5 ruhanies, and then as them, roam the earth world within us as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), taking on 105 million rebirths as part of Qiyamah, ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling, and in this way, taking on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. 7) Bawa. In this way, if man rejects all offers by God within us, to teach man the truth of himself, and the truth of God within him, then what is God to do, but give him what he wants, and an eternal hell as "separate from" God within him will become his lot, having grow his our destruction within him, by acting in ignorance of God within him. So what is God to do, but in the end, but give him what he wants. Amen. 2. How do we "Merge with God"? a) References: 1) The book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 38, "The Closure of the Opening", page 133, bottom of page (1) "If you wish to merge with God you should convert the "Soul force" into the "Bliss of the life force", by controlling the "Pleasurable Senses". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. In this way, we must join in partnership with God within us, to "close down" the world of hell within us, to "close down" the world of jinns within us, and to "close down" the world of fairies within us, to "re-open" the world of soul within us, and then :to open" the "Kingdom of God" within us. Then our life will truly have become successful in our own lifetime. 2) Bawa. (more to come) 3. What is the "Straight Path"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later.

Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). 7. Why do we "Shut God Up", claiming He can no longer "Speak to us", all of which is "Just not true"? a) References: 1) Spiritual Letter 87 (same Title as question 7) (www.SpiritualLetter087. homestead.com) b) Comments: 1) Bawa. We "Shut God Up" within us, claiming He can no longer "Speak to us" from within us, because we want to be "Present" on the "outside" of us, and sin. 2) Bawa. That is, we want to continue living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, which brings comfort and happiness to our mind and desire, that is, to all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within us in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and that now rule over us, as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission". 3) Bawa. That now rule over us as the 9 openings until we "See God and Steady Him" within us, that is, until we "See God" within us, as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", as "That One God who has no form", and "Steady God" within our very own heart, as the Rahman, as the Ruler over Everything within us, which in truth is Everything/ 4) Bawa. Because all that we currently see in our ignorance, and in arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, is really within us, and what is truly within us, is not just what is behind what we current see as existing on the "outside" of us, but is really Everything, that is, God within us, what is "within God" within us, and what God "has discarded" from Himself, in becoming God within us. All of this, all of Everything is within us, just waiting to germinate, just waiting to tell "God's Story" within us, if we like, 5) Bawa. That is, if we will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to let God tell His Story within us, and bring it to completion as "Our Story" within "His Story" within us, as True Man within God within us, and God within True Man within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. 6) Bawa. Which includes the Creation of God within us, and the "Handful of earth" within us, that God collected from the 4 corners of the earth within us, and made into Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, who later became "separated from" God within us, when he became weakened through the "Spit of satan" within us, and then "forgot God" within us, through the "Ovum of Eve" within us (peace be upon Her). 7) Bawa. Which when fertilized with the "Spit of satan" within us becomes the "earth world' within us, which is our current state and life now, on the "outside" of us, of living within the fertilized "Ovum of Eve" within us (peace be upon Her), a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and of mind and desire within us, a life of desire for earth (or form), women (or duality), and gold (personal wealth) within us, a life of "Body, Trick, and Danger" within us [See Chapter 20 (www.SpiritualBook002.Chap20.homestead.com) in book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com)]. 8) Bawa. But also a life which also can become the life and teaching of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within us, as the "Word of God" and the "Word of God made flesh" for each age within us, which if we join in partnership with God within us, to reveal Them within us, becomes in the end, the "Crown" on the head of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, in the first heaven within us [See Chapter 4, page 48, "Going Up the Mountain", in the book, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com)]. Amen. 8. Why are we "Still here"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. We are "Still here" because we have not yet exhausted "God's Potential" within us, that is, we can still "move closer to God" within us, before we die to the flesh, that is, God can still move "His Story" forward within us, that is, so our staying "Here" is still of value to God within us, and to all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, if we will only shift our focus from "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "God's Presence" within us, and in this way, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, 2) Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to let God finish telling "His Story" within us, and with that, to tell and bring to Completion "Our Story" within "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's Choice, a Choice and a Story that we have come to this earth world within us, to both make within us, and to tell within us, that is, to become "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to both make, and to tell within us. Amen. 9. What "Happens Next"? a) References: 1) Quotations from a Discourse - by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): (a) God has already taught us everything. It is all written within us. (b) Before we came here God told us, "I am sending you to a school called the world. It is a temporary place. You have to go there for a little while in order to learn about My history, your own history, and the history of many others. You have to know who Created Everything, who is Responsible for Everything, who is the Guardian in charge of you, and what is your true property" (c) "Once you have learned and understood all of these histories, you will realize "who you are", and who is the One you need, the "Lone One", the One who will live forever". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. What happens "Next" on the "outside" of us is what has already happened within us, is what is already written within us, and continues to happen within us, that is, that continually comes to us, as it was written within us, when we are ready to receive it, and the only real question of our life, is not what comes to us, which is already written within us to come to us, when we are ready to receive it, but rather, what did we do with what came to us. 2) Bawa. For example, did we squander it by keeping it as part of "our drama" of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, for then we are a "fool", or did we use it correctly, joining in partnership with God within us, to put it into God's hands within us, after God put it into our hands, so God can then use it to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, for then we are a "wise" Child of God. 3) Bawa. But if we ignore "God's Presence" within us, and try to keep everything that comes to us for "ourselves", for our "selfish" purposes on the "outside" of us, and if we try to deal with it only with "our presence" on the "outside" of us, rather that treating it as from God within us, coming not really to "us" on the "outside" of us, but really coming from God within us, to God within us, and in this way, placing what comes to us in the "Presence of God" within us. 4) Bawa. For if we fail to live this way, then what comes to us will really be of no real value to us, no matter what it is, and will not stop kalam within us, or time within us, which is comprised of our arrogance, karma, and illusion within us, from leading us to Kalan within us, or the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, and after we die to the flesh in our current state, of leading us to the "suffering of the grave" within us, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment", that is, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. 5) Bawa. And in this way, if we fail to involve God within us, in the "drama" of the "outside" of us, by joining in partnership with God within us, to make "God Present" within us, and in this way, to "step back" on the "outside" of us, so God can "step forward" within us, then everything that comes to us will just become part of the drama of the "outside" us, and we will have no wisdom, we will never have the consciousness to see all of what God has placed within us, that is, we will never have the wisdom or clarity or purity to see anything as it really is. 6) Bawa. For example, to see what is "Next" coming to us, because it is written within us that it next come to us, that is, when this or that happens within us, and why, and in this way, in our current state of ignorance, and of our arrogance about our ignorance, we will forever miss the significance of anything, and remain ignorance about our life, about all life, never truly becoming aware of when and why anything happens in our life, or in the life of others, and the true value of things, or what causes anything to happens, and what is to follow "Next", and why. 7) Bawa. In this way, if we fail to establish the "Presence of God" within us, all that we are ever aware of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, in "our presence", is "what is happening" now, at this moment, on the "outside" of us, but never of what will "happen next", or why what we are experiencing happened, like the waves that come to the shore of the pond, after a stone was thrown into the center of the lake. 8) Bawa. But if we have the perspective of someone who can see the whole lake, who can see the stone being thrown into the center of the lake, and the circle of ripples that it causes, and the waves that then move to the shores, we will get a very different perspective about "what is happening", and why, and about "what is happening next", and why, a perspective very different from someone who can only see the waves appearing on the shore, as they hit the shore. 9) Bawa. In this way, what is happening "Next" is what is already happening "Now", but that we are not aware of, like God having already taught us everything, writing it all within us. But for one with a limited perspective, like in "our presence", that only includes the shore of the lake, what is happening "Next" is something we must wait for, for the passage of time, but that we don't realize is happening "Now", like a stone being thrown into the lake, a cause that will produce an effect which will only reach us sometime later, as something else, as a wave coming to the shore, which is like, "God has already taught us everything, writing it all within us. 10) Bawa. But for someone with an expanded perspective, like standing in the "Presence of God" within us, a perspective that includes the whole lake, what is happening "Now" is someone throwing a stone in the middle of the lake, and for them what will happen "Next" is that waves will ripple onto the shore, as a clear "cause and effect relationship", and all of it is One, and there is no time involved, there is no passage of time required for what is "Next" to happen, because all of it, the throwing of the stone in the lake, and its consequence, the waves coming to the shore, in truth all happen together as One, and in this way, they have all already happened, and they are all written within us as such, as what God has already taught us, just waiting for us to reach a level of spiritual maturity to extract the necessary learning from the experience. Ok? 11) Bawa. But for the person sitting on the shore, with no view of the lake, that is, sitting in his "own presence" on the "outside" of himself, as if he is "separate from" God within him, what is happening "Now" is waves are coming to the shore, that is, which is only experience when they do actually reach the shore from the center of the lake, after the stone hitting the middle of the lake has caused them, but the stone hitting the middle of the lake is outside of the consciousness of the person sitting on the shore, so in truth, for him that part of reality is not happening at all, either "Now or Next", and instead he experiences it all as connected to the passage of time, and makes up a cause for the waves coming to the shore, as part of his drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the "outside" of him, all of which is false. 12) Bawa. For in truth "There is no time", there is just moving forward what has been caused to occur, by the Creator, as what is written within us, as what God has already taught us, or not, that is, as each thing either starts to, or fails to, awaken to the reality within itself, a reality placed within us by the Creator, like the apple seed starting to, or not starting to, germinate while the apple seed is still buried within the earth, starting to, or not starting to, move forward the Story hidden within it, the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits". 13) Bawa. That is, when and if it awakens to the truth hidden within it, when and if it moves closer to God within us, that is, when and if it starts to realize, understand, accept, and join with the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, that truth that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and the truth that the earth that it is buried within contains everything necessary for the truth hidden within it to be revealed, that is, for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity, and bear fruits, and reveal the "Sweet taste of the fruits", and again reveal the apple seeds, but this time a 1000 fold. 14) Bawa. That is, when it starts to "intend as God Intends", that is, when it starts to intend as the One who created it "intended for it" when it was created, that is, when the apple seed truly intends to germinate to the truth within it, the truth of itself, and of what is hidden within it, a truth that has been revealed to it, from within itself, because now it is ready to hear it, and either accept or reject it. 15) Bawa. And in this way, if it accepts this truth, allowing the "Truth to surrender to the Truth", allowing itself as "separate from" to come to an end, on the "outside" of itself, which is its current life as an apple seed buried within the earth, then the apple seed will germinate, and the apple seed will be destroyed, and in the process reveal the apple tree hidden within it now growing within the same earth in which it was buried. 16) Bawa. And in this way, allowing God to move "His Story" forward within it, as an example on the "outside" of us, of what each of us can do within us, if we like, that is, when it lets the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, when it lets God within it move forward what God placed within it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits", which is an Example on the "outside" of us, of what each of us can do within us, which is to let God within us move forward what God has placed within each of us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us all. Amen. 10. What is "Death", and how do we "Die before death"? a) References: 1) In the Book, "A Mystical Journey", (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 1, "The Shepherd and the Tree", page 18 and 19 here at the completion of our prayers, that is, at the end of the Chapter, we ask the "Katpaha Virudcham" within us, which is the "Guru of God" within us, the following, (1) "O Katpaha Virudcham, You have given us our food, and now we ask Your permission to leave." (2) And the "Katpaha Virudcham" within us responds by telling us, if we like, "You have transformed your qualities and passed the ninth test, and now you must study for the 10th examination. In this next experience you must learn about death, and how to die before death. This is something you must understand." 2) In the book, "The Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn.homestead.com), which is the 4th book in the Holy Bible a) Chapter 03 (www.GospelOfJohnChapter03.homestead.com) - "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God", Verses 1 to 21: (1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you) b) Comments: 1) Bawa. "Death" is living out of the "Presence of God", and "Life" is living in the "Presence of God". 2) Bawa. So in truth we "die" to the "Presence of God" within us when we are "born" into "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, which seems to naturally happen within us when we let lives of darkness and evil grow within us, like weeds growing in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", which is the original state of our heart, that is, when we let them grow within us and come to maturity within us, and start to define us 3) Bawa. That is, start to define us, not in terms of God within us and in terms of what is "within God" within us, and not in terms of "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is the correct definition of us, if we like, but rather start to define us in terms of the dream of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us. 4) Bawa. That is, start to define us as living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is just not true. 5) Bawa. In this way, with us dying to the "Presence of God" within us when we are born into "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, with "Our Presence" growing within us in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, becoming the "illusory flower of the 5" within us, of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is all within us. 6) Bawa. In this way, with the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us joining together within us as a "Co-operative Store" of the 5 within us, who come together in this way within us for "profit", that is, for their profit within us, certainly not for our profit on the "outside" of us, the 5 within us, who if we don't bring to a good state within us, in partnership with God within us, as the 5 Angels of God within us, the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfiel, Isra'il, and or Rukiel (peace be upon Them) before we die to the flesh in our current state, and become the "suffering of the grave" within us, where we end up as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost, roaming the earth world within us, until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, in this way, with "us" in the end taking on as part of our judgment an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, if we like, for the Choice to end up in this way, or not, that is, as eternally "separate from" God within us, rather than as eternally "One with" God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. 7) Bawa. So to "Die before death" is to remove "death" from us, that is, to die to death, that is, to die to everything that is keeping us "out of "God's Presence" within us, which is our "Own Presence" on the "outside" of us. It is truly just this simple, everything else is just drama, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and the only way to "win over" the drama within us, is not to play on the "outside" of us, to get God to play within us, for if we do, He will then "end the drama" within us, and reveal within us, what is "within God" within us, and reveal "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to tell and bring to Completion within us, "His Story" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, making "His Story" within us, into "Our Story" within "His Story" within us, and in this way, Completing "His Intention" within us, s that, in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", that is, in the end, nothing will be still "separate from" God within us. Amen. 8) Bawa. In this way, Death is to "Forget God" within us, is to stand in "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, rather than standing in "God's Presence" within us, for in truth both cannot be "Presence", and Life is to join in partnership with God within us, to bring the Light of God back into the room within us, which is now a dark room within us, that is, back into our heart within us, causing the darkness within our heart, causing "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, to leave all by itself. 9) Bawa. And this is why Bawa teaches us, "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there." 11. What is "Sorrow", and what is "Suffering"? a) References: 1) The book, "Maya Veeram", (a) Chapter 1, where Sandakumarum, the Prince of Peace, asks and answers a question in a song about suffering, that is, "What is the cause of suffering?", where He telling us that, (1) "Your mind engulfs you and gathers in sorrow. You fail to understand this wisely O man, and conclude, "These must be the trials of God". The sorrow and torment, the demons that attack and bring turbulence to your life, will be destroyed when wisdom cuts the "Schemes of the mind". What suffering can there be then. Analyze and examine yourself and you will realize the state of "Being One with God". What other "Bliss" can there be but this." Amen. 2) The book, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.spiritualbook008.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 3, "The World Within and the Without" (www.spiritualbook008chap03. homestead.com), on page 54, where Bawa in a beautiful dua or prayer to God for us, says, (1) "May you dispel the disease known as the world, the dog know as desire, the demon known as the mind, the torpor known as illusion, the pleasure that is the dream, the sadness that is the darkness of ignorance, the karma that is the torpor of the world, the evil actions of kalam (time; which is comprised of arrogance, karma, and illusion) that leads you to Kalan (the Angel of Death [peace be upon Him]), and the nature and games of the 5 elements that collect and praise time. May you dispel all of these things, and go beyond them Allah, the original treasure which stands in the open space, the treasure of the innermost heart. May God give you the grace of His wisdom to dispel all of these evils. Amen. May God fill your hearts with His grace. Amen. b) Comments: 1) Bawa. So sorrow or sadness is the "darkness of ignorance", and suffering is a result of the "schemes of our mind", which we have allow to grow within us, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, which now allows the "The sorrow and torment, the demons that attack to bring turbulence to our life". 2) Bawa. And the work of wisdom, within us, is to "cuts the "Schemes of the mind" within us, ending all suffering within us, allowing us to join in partnership with God within us, to "Analyze and examine ourselves and realize the state of "Being One with God" within us, and the "Bliss" associated with this state within us. Amen. 12. What is the difference between "Knowing" & "Understanding"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. To know is to experience, and to understand is to transcend. (In process. Please come back later. Thank you).

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). A Note To Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket): - Here is "our contribution" or initial answer to "Question 02" for the book that Bawa instructed "us" to publish together. Please respond to our initial answer to "Question 02", as explained in this E-mail, if you like. Also we are now starting to respond to "your contribution" or initial answer to "Question 01". Ok? Bawa. My love you, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, you and your devoted wife Qadir-BeeBee are very good Children of God for our age, and so is this Child, if we like, for truly God has already given each of us living in this age all that we need to become truly successful in our age, if we Choose to use it, for the Choice in this case, to do this or not with our life, with what God has given to each of us, is most certainly now our Choice, not God's. Bawa. As part of preparing this Spiritual Letter to you and to our dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, we read over again, this time a little slower, "The Charter" that came into your heart, that is, for "us" to come together in love in order to "Publish" a book, a book it would seem that is produced by our "rubbing together", so we all get better in the process, which is like Bawa tells us, like stones with rough edges that are placed together in a bag, and then spun around, each knocking off each other's rough edges, with them all coming our of the bag as polished stones, now of greater value. Bawa. A Book which seems to be, from the perspective of this child, a "Love Book", or "A Book of Our Love" (www.ABookOfOurLove.homestead.com) that reflects our ability to put aside our "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and instead, to join in partnership with God within us, in order to come together in the Name of God for our age, so "God can be there" within us, to write and publish a collection of what it seems to us, to be our personal "Dialogue with God" within our hearts. Bawa. But which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, and within that, is "God praying to God" within us, and within that, is God revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth really has "nothing" to do with us, with "us" in our current state, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is just not true. Amen. Bawa. But all of which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, within each of us, if we like, with "us" having become the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, if we like, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age, and as the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) did in His age, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) did for His age. Bawa. And now as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us) can now do in our age, if we like, as the Children of God for our age, as the "Gift of God" for our age, which now on the "outside" us, as the Children of God for our age, is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), all of which is "The True Charter" between God and His Children for our age, if we like, for the Choice to become this or not, for our age, is our Choice, not God's. Amen. 1) "The True Charter" Within Us - is understanding "The Charter" that Bawa gave to us, on the "outside" of us, that is pointing to "The Charter" within us, that is, to "The Charter" that Bawa within us, and God within Him, gave to His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that They gave to all of the Children of God for this age, which is all of us living in this age, if we only want it, which is to come together "In His Name" for our age, so "He can be there" within our heart in our age, and continue to instruct us on how to "liberate our soul" from the "Enemy of the soul" within us, and then joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom and our liberated soul within us, to go in search of and find the "Nur Muhammad" within us, which is the "Light of our wisdom", so we can truly become successful in our lifetime, so we can truly walk the "Straight Path" within us and establish "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, and in this way, allow God within us, to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. And if we do, then in the end, "We will be within it", as True Man within God within us, and as God within True Man, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, after reading "The Charter" over again, that is, the Charter between "Bawa and Us" that you gave to us, we realized that "we" weren't doing what "we were told to do", at least, this child wasn't doing it right. [Note: We have included a complete on-line copy of "The Charter" as part of Spiritual Letter 88, which you can access by clicking above or HERE. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. For example, "The Charter" tell us, -- Beginning of Quotation from "The Charter" --- "Now the two of you are given one to the other, as the wife is given to the husband, to temper arrogance; as the earth is given to the mountains to control the arrogance of the wind of the air; as the fire is given to temper the arrogance of the earth; and as water is given to temper the arrogance of fire". "Each is given to place a certain limit upon the other. Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen is given to Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen so that he may place a limit upon the tricks of the mind, and so become the Tree of Faith and Wisdom which Allah is calling forth". "Asma'el is given to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen so that the craziness of his Louie mind does not overgrow the flower garden of his wisdom that has been planted and cultivated and entrusted to him by His Father, so that the beauty and fragrance of Allah Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen will permeate other hearts and lives, and not be hidden in the overgrowth of the mind's inclinations to engulf all that it encounters" "Therefore, when you come together, each must seek the guidance of the other's wisdom, not to ignore his own heart-wisdom, but to know that there is only One Wisdom that belongs to none but Allahuta'ala nayan". "Coming together in this way, it will be good for the two of you to write as a book, questions from each other to the Living Wisdom of Muhaiyaddeen, and answers from this Living Wisdom, in a way similar to "Bawa asks Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, which also must be published as a book some day". "This questioning and answering has to be done with love for one another, and love for the "Presence" of this "Father's Living Wisdom, that Allah has placed within each heart. It must be written or recorded and transcribed as it comes, and then there must be found an editor whom each of you trust without reservation, to make what is less clear more clear". "Your Father has entrusted the Word that is given to Him into the care of His Children for both translation and editing; therefore this is something necessary for each of you, so that the Truth may shine." "For though you may have inherited a mine of gold, still that gold does not become of true value even when it has been brought out of the mine, until it has been refined and polished, so that it can be recognized as true gold. Beyond this there is no need for decoration or embellishment of the Words We give to you". "Then make arrangements for the publishing of this work. It will be good if it is done with each alternating as questioner and respondent, but if you have difficulties with this, seek questions from Qadir Bibi or someone who loves the Wisdom that Allah brings forth from within each of your hearts". "If you wish, one may ask, the other may reply, the first may again respond to the reply, and the second with a final response. In this way, each will assist the other in digging even deeper, in peeling away more of the veils that surround Truth and Allah's Luminous Wisdom". "Allah has no end, My Sons, nor does His Truth or His Wisdom, therefore, think not that you can come to an end of Wisdom's Understanding and know that God is Greater". "Will you do it like this. It will be beneficial for so many hearts and there will be rejoicing among all of the Companions of the Throne. Meechum anbu, my love you Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. My love you Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen". "For each of you, the Wisdom of the Wife and Her love for Allah has been given as a blessing so that this "Heart-Work" can be performed without difficulty. Even when you may have seen difficulty, know this is only the tension with which the soil appears to resist the seed when it first begins to sprout. It is like a soft resistance, that becomes firm acceptance. Shari. Is it enough?" -- End of Quotation from "The Charter" -- 2) "Will You Do It Like This?" - Yes, Yes, Yes, Bawa, we will most certainly do it like this. Amen Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. So, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee (we got permission from Qadir-BiBi to also spell it this way), may we truly learn to "Do it like this". Ok?. Bawa. So in partnership with God within us, this is what "We" have now done, to better line up "Our Relationship" with "The Charter", that is, with what we are "Doing together" in the "Name of God" for our age, at the "Feet of God" for our age, which is, First - to start to respond to your initial answer to "Question 01" for our "Love Book" Second - as part of "Spiritual Letter 88", to provide you with "our contribution" or initial answer to "Question 02", for our "Love Book", so you can start to respond to it. Bawa. That is, with "us" doing the Second One above as part of our producing and sending you this "Spiritual Letter 88", this "Ten + Questions, and The Answers, From the Feet of God For Our Age", and requesting that you now select "one" of these "Ten + Questions And Answers" as "Question 02" for our "Love Book" and start to respond to it. Ok? 3) What is the "Secret in the Fear of God"? - which is the question which we agreed to earlier is "Question 01" for our "Love Book", and which you have now initially answered, and given us a copy, and which we are now initially responding to, all of which is our understanding from "The Charter" of "how we are to proceed". Ok? Status of First Question: On hold, for this child, up till now. Reason for the "On Hold" Status: Bawa. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, when you gave this child "your contribution" or initial answer to the first question, which was the day we went to the "Farm" together and visited with Baji, you told us "not to open and read it" until we had "contributed something" ourselves. Bawa. And for some reason this instruction really put a damper on this child, because in truth we never feel that we have "something to contribute", other than our faith and trust in God within us, that is, in our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and in God within Him, and now on the "outside", faith and trust in His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). And as a result, we have not yet opened what you gave to us, that is, we have not yet opened and read your contribution to the first question. Bawa. But now, with this beautiful "Spiritual Letter 88" coming to us, from God within us all, for the Children of God for our age, including a beautiful answer from this child to "Question 01" for our "Love Book", which is also "Question 01" in "Spiritual Letter 88", "we" certainly feel that we have now contributed something, and with your permission, we will open and read your contribution or initial answer to "Question 01", and then do what Bawa told us to do, that is, in "The Charter", if you like. Bawa. That is, "It will be good if it is done with each alternating as questioner and respondent". "One may ask, the other may reply, the first may again respond to the reply, and the second with a final response" [Note: For our reference, we have included a complete on-line copy of "The Charter", as part of "Spiritual Letter 88", exactly as Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen gave it to us, which you can access by clicking above or HERE, if we like, for the Choice to accept it as such, or not, that is, to accept it as coming into the heart of our dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, from Bawa within us, and from God within Him, to the Children of God for our age, in order to share the "Word of God" for our age, that God has personally and ever so lovingly written on each of our hearts, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. So now, with your permission Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), we will open, read, and respond to "your contribution" or initial answer to the first question, that is to "Question 01" of our "Love Book", or "What is The Secret in The Fear of God?". Bawa. And now, also if you like, will you please select one of the other questions, from any of the 12 questions, other than question 01, as listed in "Spiritual Letter 88", that is, that have an adequate "contribution" or initial answer, and make that "Question 02" for our "Love Book", and then read the "contribution" or answer to it, as provided by this child, that is, as provided in "Spiritual Letter 88", and then respond to it, if you like, as we will now do the same for "your contribution" or answer to "Question 01", and in this way, we should then be "on track", that is, doing it as Bawa requested that we do it. Ok? Bawa. That is, with both of "us" having answered a question, that is, with you answering "Question 01" and with us answering "Question 02" of our "Love Book", and with both of "us" having responded to an answer, that is, with to us responding to your "Answer 01", and with you responding to our "Answer 02". Ok? Bawa. And in the next cycle, that is, in the next cycle of "Question/Answer", that is, for Question 03/Answer 03, and if you like, for Question 04/Answer 04, either you or Qadir-BeeBee can come up with the question, if you like, and again, we should then be "on track, that is, doing it as Bawa requested that we do it. Ok? Bawa. Finally, please forgive this child if our previous behavior has offended you, or your dear wife Qadir-BeeBee (may God be pleased with Her), or any of our dearest loving brothers and sisters (may God be pleased with each of Us) in any way, for this is certainly not the intention of this child, and it is certainly in our heart to join as "One with" my dearest loving brothers and sisters to continue on with "The Charter" from God within us all, that came into your heart, for all of us, that is, to come together as "One" to publish our "Love Book", so that, as we are told in "The Charter", "It will be beneficial for so many hearts and there will be rejoicing among all of the Companions of the Throne". Ok? Bawa. For in truth we are all only trying to live at the Feet of God for our age, as much as we can, as often as we can, which 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 of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world today, if we like. Bawa. That is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. 4) A Closing Prayer - God loves us, and "My love you (anbu)", which is certainly enough for 200 million years Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister Qadir-BeeBee, we are all very, very good Children of God for our age, and we must never forget that, for in truth God will always "See us through", no matter what, as long as we never let God of Him, that is, of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him. Bawa. And now on the "outside" of us, as long as we never let go of each other, remembering that in truth we are always the Grandchildren, the Sons and Daughters, and the Brothers and Sisters of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him) within us, and of God within Him, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, for in truth this is our true heritage, our true birthright for our age, the true destiny of our soul, for in our age, which in truth is like no age before it, for in our age this is now the "Truth of us" and the "Truth of God" within us, not because of anything that we have done, or anything that we have not done, but because of the infinite Mercy and Compassion of God within us, because of God's Love for us, because God has "Made it So" for our age. Amen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, and to all of the members of your family and friends. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And please try to join as "One with" Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, as this "Heart's Work" is in truth the only work that is truly appropriate for the Children of God for our age, which in our age are the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in our age, if we like. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) ============================================================== A. Ten + Questions, And The Answers - while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, which 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 of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, to allow God within us to tell and Complete "His Story" within us, which is God within His Creation, making it into "Our Story" within "His Story", into True Man within God, so in the end, "No Child Will Be Left Behind", or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's 1. What is the "Secret in the Fear of God"? a) References: 1) The Book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 8, "How the Awe-Inspiring God subdues pride" (1) "When man becomes arrogant, God controls him through the 5 elements and through death". (2) "In this state of things, there are many secrets called hikmath (hidden things) inside of man, and in the things mentioned above, as well as in those to be mentioned. These secrets can be known to man when he clarifies, improves, and realizes himself, and praises the Lord, forgetting the desire for land, and destroying the desire for woman". (3) "My Son, in this way, man has taken the body of hell, which is dust out of dust. Man resides within this stinking body, and grows like a smelling carcass. He lives in this body eating the dead foul-smelling carcass. He claims the egoism of "I", and becomes proud, thinking that there is none other than himself. He is even boastful with this destructive body of his". (4) "Realize this, my son, clarify and redeem yourself, gem of my eyes. Therefore, everything which appears on earth, and assumes pride, arrogance, and the egoism of "I", acquires the qualities of destruction. Seeing this, the Primal Lord has created every other thing to control such arrogance". (1) "The exhaling of the breath through the left nostril is known as the "Chandra kali" or the art of the moon breath. (2) "In similar fashion, the breath is inhaled with the resonance of the words "Ill Allahu", without raising the tongue, meaning, (a) "You are Allah. There is nothing other than You. Without You there is no other help, because I do not exist. You are with me. Be inside my heart. Do not be separated from me." (3) "This is the meaning of making "It" stay in the heart". (4) "This is done by inhaling the breath through the right nostril and establishing it in the heart". (5) "This is known as the "Suriya kali" or the art of the sun breath". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. In this way, the "Current State Of Man" is residing within the "Body of Hell" within himself, a body of hell that he has allow to grow within him, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within him, which is the original state of his heart, as the "Garden of Paradise", that he allowed to grow in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance. 2) Bawa. But also there are "Secret Hidden Things" (Hikmath) inside of man, which is everything that is "within God" within man, which can be of great value to man, if he will only join in partnership with God within him, to use them, because they are only available for his use in the "Presence of God" within him, not in the "presence of himself" on the "outside" of him, and this is the great "Secret of man", for either "man is present or God is present" within him, but never both. 3) Bawa. In this way, if man learns how to use the "Secret Hidden Things (Hikmath) of God within man, then he can overcome his fear of death, and his fascination and preoccupation with the life of death that he is currently experiencing on the "outside" of himself, a life where, (a) "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God, and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself (within himself), although God exists within man" (See the "Forward" to the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom") 4) Bawa. That is, a life of having "forgotten God" within him, that is, of having fallen "Our of the Presence" of God within him, and of having fallen in to the many traps of the 5 elements within him, like all of the desires and attachments of the 5, like desire for earth or form, for women or duality, and for gold or for "personal wealth" rather than "common wealth", all of which him the illusion of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of him, as if he is "separate from" God within him, as if he is "separate from" his brothers and sisters, and as if he is "separate from" Creation of God within him, all of which is just not true. 5) Bawa. So what will become of man, if he does not change, if he does not join in partnership with God within him, to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within him, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is "Our Story" within God's Story within the Creation of God within us, all of which we have come to this earth world within us, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to continue trying to live on the "outside", as if we are "separate from" God within us, is our Choice, not God's. 6) Bawa. And what will become of man, if he does not change, is he will go to an eternal hell of "separation from" after he dies to the flesh in his current state, first visiting the "suffering of the grave" where he will meet and become "one with" the 5 elemental spirits within him, the 5 ruhanies, and then as them, roam the earth world within us as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), taking on 105 million rebirths as part of Qiyamah, ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling, and in this way, taking on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. 7) Bawa. In this way, if man rejects all offers by God within us, to teach man the truth of himself, and the truth of God within him, then what is God to do, but give him what he wants, and an eternal hell as "separate from" God within him will become his lot, having grow his our destruction within him, by acting in ignorance of God within him. So what is God to do, but in the end, but give him what he wants. Amen. 2. How do we "Merge with God"? a) References: 1) The book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 38, "The Closure of the Opening", page 133, bottom of page (1) "If you wish to merge with God you should convert the "Soul force" into the "Bliss of the life force", by controlling the "Pleasurable Senses". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. In this way, we must join in partnership with God within us, to "close down" the world of hell within us, to "close down" the world of jinns within us, and to "close down" the world of fairies within us, to "re-open" the world of soul within us, and then :to open" the "Kingdom of God" within us. Then our life will truly have become successful in our own lifetime. 2) Bawa. (more to come) 3. What is the "Straight Path"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later.

Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). 7. Why do we "Shut God Up", claiming He can no longer "Speak to us", all of which is "Just not true"? a) References: 1) Spiritual Letter 87 (same Title as question 7) (www.SpiritualLetter087. homestead.com) b) Comments: 1) Bawa. We "Shut God Up" within us, claiming He can no longer "Speak to us" from within us, because we want to be "Present" on the "outside" of us, and sin. 2) Bawa. That is, we want to continue living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, which brings comfort and happiness to our mind and desire, that is, to all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within us in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and that now rule over us, as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission". 3) Bawa. That now rule over us as the 9 openings until we "See God and Steady Him" within us, that is, until we "See God" within us, as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", as "That One God who has no form", and "Steady God" within our very own heart, as the Rahman, as the Ruler over Everything within us, which in truth is Everything/ 4) Bawa. Because all that we currently see in our ignorance, and in arrogance about our ignorance, as existing on the "outside" of us, is really within us, and what is truly within us, is not just what is behind what we current see as existing on the "outside" of us, but is really Everything, that is, God within us, what is "within God" within us, and what God "has discarded" from Himself, in becoming God within us. All of this, all of Everything is within us, just waiting to germinate, just waiting to tell "God's Story" within us, if we like, 5) Bawa. That is, if we will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth within us, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to let God tell His Story within us, and bring it to completion as "Our Story" within "His Story" within us, as True Man within God within us, and God within True Man within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. 6) Bawa. Which includes the Creation of God within us, and the "Handful of earth" within us, that God collected from the 4 corners of the earth within us, and made into Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, who later became "separated from" God within us, when he became weakened through the "Spit of satan" within us, and then "forgot God" within us, through the "Ovum of Eve" within us (peace be upon Her). 7) Bawa. Which when fertilized with the "Spit of satan" within us becomes the "earth world' within us, which is our current state and life now, on the "outside" of us, of living within the fertilized "Ovum of Eve" within us (peace be upon Her), a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and of mind and desire within us, a life of desire for earth (or form), women (or duality), and gold (personal wealth) within us, a life of "Body, Trick, and Danger" within us [See Chapter 20 (www.SpiritualBook002.Chap20.homestead.com) in book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com)]. 8) Bawa. But also a life which also can become the life and teaching of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within us, as the "Word of God" and the "Word of God made flesh" for each age within us, which if we join in partnership with God within us, to reveal Them within us, becomes in the end, the "Crown" on the head of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, in the first heaven within us [See Chapter 4, page 48, "Going Up the Mountain", in the book, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com)]. Amen. 8. Why are we "Still here"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. We are "Still here" because we have not yet exhausted "God's Potential" within us, that is, we can still "move closer to God" within us, before we die to the flesh, that is, God can still move "His Story" forward within us, that is, so our staying "Here" is still of value to God within us, and to all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, if we will only shift our focus from "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "God's Presence" within us, and in this way, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, 2) Bawa. For the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to let God finish telling "His Story" within us, and with that, to tell and bring to Completion "Our Story" within "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's Choice, a Choice and a Story that we have come to this earth world within us, to both make within us, and to tell within us, that is, to become "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to both make, and to tell within us. Amen. 9. What "Happens Next"? a) References: 1) Quotations from a Discourse - by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): (a) God has already taught us everything. It is all written within us. (b) Before we came here God told us, "I am sending you to a school called the world. It is a temporary place. You have to go there for a little while in order to learn about My history, your own history, and the history of many others. You have to know who Created Everything, who is Responsible for Everything, who is the Guardian in charge of you, and what is your true property" (c) "Once you have learned and understood all of these histories, you will realize "who you are", and who is the One you need, the "Lone One", the One who will live forever". b) Comments: 1) Bawa. What happens "Next" on the "outside" of us is what has already happened within us, is what is already written within us, and continues to happen within us, that is, that continually comes to us, as it was written within us, when we are ready to receive it, and the only real question of our life, is not what comes to us, which is already written within us to come to us, when we are ready to receive it, but rather, what did we do with what came to us. 2) Bawa. For example, did we squander it by keeping it as part of "our drama" of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, for then we are a "fool", or did we use it correctly, joining in partnership with God within us, to put it into God's hands within us, after God put it into our hands, so God can then use it to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, for then we are a "wise" Child of God. 3) Bawa. But if we ignore "God's Presence" within us, and try to keep everything that comes to us for "ourselves", for our "selfish" purposes on the "outside" of us, and if we try to deal with it only with "our presence" on the "outside" of us, rather that treating it as from God within us, coming not really to "us" on the "outside" of us, but really coming from God within us, to God within us, and in this way, placing what comes to us in the "Presence of God" within us. 4) Bawa. For if we fail to live this way, then what comes to us will really be of no real value to us, no matter what it is, and will not stop kalam within us, or time within us, which is comprised of our arrogance, karma, and illusion within us, from leading us to Kalan within us, or the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, and after we die to the flesh in our current state, of leading us to the "suffering of the grave" within us, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment", that is, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. 5) Bawa. And in this way, if we fail to involve God within us, in the "drama" of the "outside" of us, by joining in partnership with God within us, to make "God Present" within us, and in this way, to "step back" on the "outside" of us, so God can "step forward" within us, then everything that comes to us will just become part of the drama of the "outside" us, and we will have no wisdom, we will never have the consciousness to see all of what God has placed within us, that is, we will never have the wisdom or clarity or purity to see anything as it really is. 6) Bawa. For example, to see what is "Next" coming to us, because it is written within us that it next come to us, that is, when this or that happens within us, and why, and in this way, in our current state of ignorance, and of our arrogance about our ignorance, we will forever miss the significance of anything, and remain ignorance about our life, about all life, never truly becoming aware of when and why anything happens in our life, or in the life of others, and the true value of things, or what causes anything to happens, and what is to follow "Next", and why. 7) Bawa. In this way, if we fail to establish the "Presence of God" within us, all that we are ever aware of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, in "our presence", is "what is happening" now, at this moment, on the "outside" of us, but never of what will "happen next", or why what we are experiencing happened, like the waves that come to the shore of the pond, after a stone was thrown into the center of the lake. 8) Bawa. But if we have the perspective of someone who can see the whole lake, who can see the stone being thrown into the center of the lake, and the circle of ripples that it causes, and the waves that then move to the shores, we will get a very different perspective about "what is happening", and why, and about "what is happening next", and why, a perspective very different from someone who can only see the waves appearing on the shore, as they hit the shore. 9) Bawa. In this way, what is happening "Next" is what is already happening "Now", but that we are not aware of, like God having already taught us everything, writing it all within us. But for one with a limited perspective, like in "our presence", that only includes the shore of the lake, what is happening "Next" is something we must wait for, for the passage of time, but that we don't realize is happening "Now", like a stone being thrown into the lake, a cause that will produce an effect which will only reach us sometime later, as something else, as a wave coming to the shore, which is like, "God has already taught us everything, writing it all within us. 10) Bawa. But for someone with an expanded perspective, like standing in the "Presence of God" within us, a perspective that includes the whole lake, what is happening "Now" is someone throwing a stone in the middle of the lake, and for them what will happen "Next" is that waves will ripple onto the shore, as a clear "cause and effect relationship", and all of it is One, and there is no time involved, there is no passage of time required for what is "Next" to happen, because all of it, the throwing of the stone in the lake, and its consequence, the waves coming to the shore, in truth all happen together as One, and in this way, they have all already happened, and they are all written within us as such, as what God has already taught us, just waiting for us to reach a level of spiritual maturity to extract the necessary learning from the experience. Ok? 11) Bawa. But for the person sitting on the shore, with no view of the lake, that is, sitting in his "own presence" on the "outside" of himself, as if he is "separate from" God within him, what is happening "Now" is waves are coming to the shore, that is, which is only experience when they do actually reach the shore from the center of the lake, after the stone hitting the middle of the lake has caused them, but the stone hitting the middle of the lake is outside of the consciousness of the person sitting on the shore, so in truth, for him that part of reality is not happening at all, either "Now or Next", and instead he experiences it all as connected to the passage of time, and makes up a cause for the waves coming to the shore, as part of his drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the "outside" of him, all of which is false. 12) Bawa. For in truth "There is no time", there is just moving forward what has been caused to occur, by the Creator, as what is written within us, as what God has already taught us, or not, that is, as each thing either starts to, or fails to, awaken to the reality within itself, a reality placed within us by the Creator, like the apple seed starting to, or not starting to, germinate while the apple seed is still buried within the earth, starting to, or not starting to, move forward the Story hidden within it, the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits". 13) Bawa. That is, when and if it awakens to the truth hidden within it, when and if it moves closer to God within us, that is, when and if it starts to realize, understand, accept, and join with the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, that truth that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and the truth that the earth that it is buried within contains everything necessary for the truth hidden within it to be revealed, that is, for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity, and bear fruits, and reveal the "Sweet taste of the fruits", and again reveal the apple seeds, but this time a 1000 fold. 14) Bawa. That is, when it starts to "intend as God Intends", that is, when it starts to intend as the One who created it "intended for it" when it was created, that is, when the apple seed truly intends to germinate to the truth within it, the truth of itself, and of what is hidden within it, a truth that has been revealed to it, from within itself, because now it is ready to hear it, and either accept or reject it. 15) Bawa. And in this way, if it accepts this truth, allowing the "Truth to surrender to the Truth", allowing itself as "separate from" to come to an end, on the "outside" of itself, which is its current life as an apple seed buried within the earth, then the apple seed will germinate, and the apple seed will be destroyed, and in the process reveal the apple tree hidden within it now growing within the same earth in which it was buried. 16) Bawa. And in this way, allowing God to move "His Story" forward within it, as an example on the "outside" of us, of what each of us can do within us, if we like, that is, when it lets the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, when it lets God within it move forward what God placed within it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its fruits", which is an Example on the "outside" of us, of what each of us can do within us, which is to let God within us move forward what God has placed within each of us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us all. Amen. 10. What is "Death", and how do we "Die before death"? a) References: 1) In the Book, "A Mystical Journey", (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 1, "The Shepherd and the Tree", page 18 and 19 here at the completion of our prayers, that is, at the end of the Chapter, we ask the "Katpaha Virudcham" within us, which is the "Guru of God" within us, the following, (1) "O Katpaha Virudcham, You have given us our food, and now we ask Your permission to leave." (2) And the "Katpaha Virudcham" within us responds by telling us, if we like, "You have transformed your qualities and passed the ninth test, and now you must study for the 10th examination. In this next experience you must learn about death, and how to die before death. This is something you must understand." 2) In the book, "The Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn.homestead.com), which is the 4th book in the Holy Bible a) Chapter 03 (www.GospelOfJohnChapter03.homestead.com) - "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God", Verses 1 to 21: (1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you) b) Comments: 1) Bawa. "Death" is living out of the "Presence of God", and "Life" is living in the "Presence of God". 2) Bawa. So in truth we "die" to the "Presence of God" within us when we are "born" into "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, which seems to naturally happen within us when we let lives of darkness and evil grow within us, like weeds growing in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", which is the original state of our heart, that is, when we let them grow within us and come to maturity within us, and start to define us 3) Bawa. That is, start to define us, not in terms of God within us and in terms of what is "within God" within us, and not in terms of "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is the correct definition of us, if we like, but rather start to define us in terms of the dream of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us. 4) Bawa. That is, start to define us as living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is just not true. 5) Bawa. In this way, with us dying to the "Presence of God" within us when we are born into "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, with "Our Presence" growing within us in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, becoming the "illusory flower of the 5" within us, of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is all within us. 6) Bawa. In this way, with the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us joining together within us as a "Co-operative Store" of the 5 within us, who come together in this way within us for "profit", that is, for their profit within us, certainly not for our profit on the "outside" of us, the 5 within us, who if we don't bring to a good state within us, in partnership with God within us, as the 5 Angels of God within us, the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfiel, Isra'il, and or Rukiel (peace be upon Them) before we die to the flesh in our current state, and become the "suffering of the grave" within us, where we end up as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost, roaming the earth world within us, until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, in this way, with "us" in the end taking on as part of our judgment an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, if we like, for the Choice to end up in this way, or not, that is, as eternally "separate from" God within us, rather than as eternally "One with" God within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. 7) Bawa. So to "Die before death" is to remove "death" from us, that is, to die to death, that is, to die to everything that is keeping us "out of "God's Presence" within us, which is our "Own Presence" on the "outside" of us. It is truly just this simple, everything else is just drama, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and the only way to "win over" the drama within us, is not to play on the "outside" of us, to get God to play within us, for if we do, He will then "end the drama" within us, and reveal within us, what is "within God" within us, and reveal "what God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to tell and bring to Completion within us, "His Story" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, making "His Story" within us, into "Our Story" within "His Story" within us, and in this way, Completing "His Intention" within us, s that, in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", that is, in the end, nothing will be still "separate from" God within us. Amen. 8) Bawa. In this way, Death is to "Forget God" within us, is to stand in "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, rather than standing in "God's Presence" within us, for in truth both cannot be "Presence", and Life is to join in partnership with God within us, to bring the Light of God back into the room within us, which is now a dark room within us, that is, back into our heart within us, causing the darkness within our heart, causing "Our Presence" on the "outside" of us, to leave all by itself. 9) Bawa. And this is why Bawa teaches us, "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there." 11. What is "Sorrow", and what is "Suffering"? a) References: 1) The book, "Maya Veeram", (a) Chapter 1, where Sandakumarum, the Prince of Peace, asks and answers a question in a song about suffering, that is, "What is the cause of suffering?", where He telling us that, (1) "Your mind engulfs you and gathers in sorrow. You fail to understand this wisely O man, and conclude, "These must be the trials of God". The sorrow and torment, the demons that attack and bring turbulence to your life, will be destroyed when wisdom cuts the "Schemes of the mind". What suffering can there be then. Analyze and examine yourself and you will realize the state of "Being One with God". What other "Bliss" can there be but this." Amen. 2) The book, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.spiritualbook008.homestead.com) (a) Chapter 3, "The World Within and the Without" (www.spiritualbook008chap03. homestead.com), on page 54, where Bawa in a beautiful dua or prayer to God for us, says, (1) "May you dispel the disease known as the world, the dog know as desire, the demon known as the mind, the torpor known as illusion, the pleasure that is the dream, the sadness that is the darkness of ignorance, the karma that is the torpor of the world, the evil actions of kalam (time; which is comprised of arrogance, karma, and illusion) that leads you to Kalan (the Angel of Death [peace be upon Him]), and the nature and games of the 5 elements that collect and praise time. May you dispel all of these things, and go beyond them Allah, the original treasure which stands in the open space, the treasure of the innermost heart. May God give you the grace of His wisdom to dispel all of these evils. Amen. May God fill your hearts with His grace. Amen. b) Comments: 1) Bawa. So sorrow or sadness is the "darkness of ignorance", and suffering is a result of the "schemes of our mind", which we have allow to grow within us, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, which now allows the "The sorrow and torment, the demons that attack to bring turbulence to our life". 2) Bawa. And the work of wisdom, within us, is to "cuts the "Schemes of the mind" within us, ending all suffering within us, allowing us to join in partnership with God within us, to "Analyze and examine ourselves and realize the state of "Being One with God" within us, and the "Bliss" associated with this state within us. Amen. 12. What is the difference between "Knowing" & "Understanding"? a) References: 1) (In process. Please come back later. Thank you). b) Comments: 1) Bawa. To know is to experience, and to understand is to transcend. (In process. Please come back later. Thank you).
