Introduction - to Page 02 of Spiritual Letter 71

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most
Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa
'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the
beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.

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

Here is the is "Page 2 of 4" of the "Outline And Summary Version" of the beautiful letter, of "Spiritual Letter 71", that was sent  to some High School Classmates of this child, to a Mr. Paul and Joan Sturgis, and to a Mr. Pierce and Dolores Pelouze, and to each of you, the Children of God for this age, hopefully for theirs and your reading enjoyment and sharing.

A Spiritual Letter that was sent after Mr. Paul Sturgis asked for help, after Paul asked
this child, and some of the other Classmates, to help him decide how best to use the
money that was collected by Paul at the previous "Guy's Luncheon", with the intention
of "helping other people", a luncheon that the Haddonfield Memorial High School Class
of 1956 (the HMHS Class of 56) holds every couple of months, in Westmont, New
Jersey, in order to spread Fellowship among its male members, with the luncheon
sometimes including as many as 15 Classmates from the local and surrounding areas.

(Note: There is also a "Gal's Luncheon" held every couple of months by the girls of
HMHS Class of 56 which this child has repeatedly tried to attend, but none of the girls
has taken Louie up on the request, that is, yet, but we will keep trying, as we are sure
the girls will be more inclined than the boys to ask Louie about the life and teaching
of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be
pleased with Him), that has literally taken over the life of their dear Classmate Louie,
whereas the boys would be more inclined than the girls to follow the life and teaching
of His Holiness, if they ever did ask.  Such is the subtle nature of us all, and of the male and female within us all, that we must join with our wisdom to come to understand and transcend.  Amen.  Thank you.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar)

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

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

          is, with "us" understanding "Who we truly are", and "Where we truly are", and
          "What is truly happening" in our life
04.  The First of God's Schools - within us, is the "School of Contrast", which is
          where we have now come, to this earth world within us, in order to learn about
          what "separates us" from God within us, and join with God within us to remove it

05.  Avoiding The Dangerous Trap of Our Life - which is "us" in our current state of
          "separate from" thinking that we can do, and at times are doing, the "duty of
          God" on the "outside" of us

          here to learn, in this "School of Contrast", before we die to the flesh, and then to

          for eternity

08.  The Choice Is Ours, Not God's - for God has already made His choice, and He
          chose "Oneness" with us, and that is why we are now alive on the "outside" of
          us, as "separate from" Him, to now make our choice, to either again become
          "One with" Him, both now and for eternity, or to stay "separate from" Him both
          now, until we die to the flesh, and then for eternity
09.  Our True Heritage & Birthright, The True Destiny of Our Soul - is how our life

          so "It" will never leave us again
10.  What Is Separating Us From God Within Us - is the same thing that is
          separating us from each other on the "outside" of us, which is our ego, which is

11.  The One True Fault of Our Life - is our broken direct connection to God within us,
          which naturally occurs within us when in our ignorance we "forget God", when
          we turn away from God within us, and in this way, when we let the weeds grow
          in the flower garden of our heart, with "us" gradually becoming "One with" the
          weeds, seeing them in our ignorance as "us" living on the "outside" of us, but in
          truth with "us" within us no longer living as "One with" the Creator within us or as
          "One with" God's Flower Garden within us
12.  The True Nature of God & "Us" Within Us - is that God is the One within us who
          is conducting our life, not us, that God is the One within us who carries out
          everything in our life, not us, that God is the One within us who is responsible for
          the cause and the effect of our life, not us
13.  There Are No Good People, Only God Is God - so to become good we must first
          again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of
          our "Oneness" within us, so "we" will never leave It again

          1)  Hand The Urge or Thought To God, And Be Done With It - that is, hand the
          urge or thought to "help other people" to God within us, and praise God for it,
          realizing that all help is God's duty not ours, and then "be done with it", and look
          for what is next in our life
          2)  Seek A Wise Man Who Is Still Alive On The "Outside" - that is, if the urge or
          thought to "help other people" keeps coming back, and we still have no clarity
          about it, then find a wise man who is still living in the world and ask Him
          3)  Again Hand Them To God, And Be Done With Them - that is, if we can't find
          a wise man still living in the world, and we still lack clarity on it, then again hand
          it to God within us, and then again "be done with it", and again look for what is
          next in our life
          4)  Do Nothing Until Clarity Comes - that is, if this urge or thought to "help other
          people" still keeps coming back, and we still lack clarity on it, and we still
          cannot find a wise man to ask, then do nothing, until some clarity comes, and
          again "be done with it" and look for what is next in our life

15) A Lion Doesn't Eat Grass - so before you set out to feed a lamb, who eats grass,
          make sure it isn't a hungry lion in hiding, hiding as a lamb, or you could become
          his next meal.  So be careful.  Such is the potential danger to "us" and to others
          when "we" or "they" as "separate from" God set out to "help other people"

          God within us to make it so within us, before we step out to help others on the
          "outside" of us

          from", as "One with" God within us, as "One with" each other on the "outside" of
          us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us. May God help us to obtain
          this state in our own lifetime, if that be our true intention for our life, that is, if the
          true intention for our life is "Oneness with" God within us rather then our current
          state of "separation from" God within  us. May God grant us the grace of His
          wisdom to do this in our lifetime. Amen. May God help us all.  Amen.

Expanded Summary of Topic 02:

We should help as God helps, as "One with", not as we currently try to help, which is as "separate from", as "separate from" everything, that is, as "separate from" God within us, and as "separate from" each other on the "outside' of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us.

But rather, we should only set out to "help other people" when we have come to the state that God within us is currently in, which is as "One with" everything. This is the only state from which we can truly help anyone, the state that God is in, that is, with "us" through our true partnership with God within us having again become  "One with" God within us, and "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us age. 

And with us as "One with" the Creation of God within us which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, which is where God in truth has planted "us" in this age, is where God has placed us in this age, within the "Earth of God" within us as the "Seed of God" for this age, so God can then, if we like, if we let Him, if we join Him, complete 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.  Amen.

Text of Topic 02:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and our dearest loving sisters Joan and
Dolores, let us now look at what our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa
Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach
us in our age about this subject of helping as God helps, that is, as "One with", rather
than as "separate from", and now as His Children (may God be pleased with each of
Us) are teaching us on the "outside" of us, are teaching us right now in this Spiritual
Letter.

First Bawa teaches us to do such things, like helping people, only when we are
capable of doing them as God would do them, as a true slave of God within us, that
is, as "One with" God within us, as  "One with" our dearest loving brother and sisters
on the "outside" of us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, all of which is
the natural state of a True Man, of a True Human Being, all of which is our natural and
true state, which is "Oneness", once we have gotten rid of our current unnatural and
false state, the state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, a state
that we have currently fallen into in our ignorance.

And we can only truly do this work, this work of truly helping people as God helps
them, that is, helping them as "One with" them, not as "separate from" them, after we
have truly joined with God within us, as "One with" God within us, to get ride of our
current "separation and differences".

And if we continue to try to do this work of helping others before making this change
in our own life, that is, while we are still in the state of "separation and differences",
then everything that we set out to do in that false state will most likely turn our wrong,
and could lead to our destruction and to the destruction of the very people that we are
trying to help, and at the very least could be very dangerous to all concerned.

So rather than trying to help other people in our current false state, in our current
state of living in our ignorance on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God, as
"separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, we
should instead focus all of our energy on returning to our true and natural state of
"Oneness", but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave
us again.

And we should focus on doing all of this "Heart's Work, as our Father, Shaikh
Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us,
and God within Him, teach us for our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased
with each of Us) are teaching us right now in this letter, before we die to the flesh,
because once we have physically died to the "outside" of us it is all over, and our
chance to return to our original state of "Oneness" with an understanding of that
"Oneness" is over.

03.  The True Purpose of Our Life
                                                                                - go to "Text of Topic 03"
Expanded Summary of Topic 03:

The true purpose of our life is "us" understanding who we "Already are" within us, is
"us" understanding "Who we truly are", and "Where we truly are", and "What is truly
happening" within our life.

That is, with "us" understanding "Who we truly are", which is "us" as the "Seed of
God" within us, and with "us" understanding "Where we truly are", which is where God
has planted us in our age, which is "us" as the "Seed of God" planted within the
Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, and with "us"
understanding "What is truly happening" in our life, which is "us" coming to realize,
understand, accept, and join as "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us"
as the "Seed of God" planted within the "Earth of God" within us, and is God as the
"Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within us, with "us" understanding
that the "Seed of God" planted within the "Earth of God" is really the "Truth of us", and
that the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within us is really the
"Truth of God" within us.

And in this way, and only in this way, with our life becoming truly successful in our own
lifetime, that is, before we die to the flesh, when we truly come to realize these truth
within us without the slightest doubt, and then join as "One with" the "Earth of God"
within us, which with "us" as the "Seed of God" we are truly buried within.

In this way, with "us" within us letting the "Earth of God" within us to then join as "One
with" us, with the "Seed of God" within it, and germinate, letting the "outside" of us as
"separate from" come to an end, and letting the true "inside" of "us" as "One with"
begin to live again, as it did before we forgot God within us, and fell into many of trap on
the "outside" of us.

And in this way, with "us" letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, with "us"
letting the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us germinate and reveal the
"Tree of God" within us, and in maturity reveal the "Fruits of God" within us, and in this
way, with "us" letting "True Man happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of
God within us.  Amen.

Text of Topic 03:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, lets next take a look at what Bawa teaches us about the true purpose of our life, about "why we are here".

Bawa teaches us that the only true purpose of our life is to come to an understanding of the state of "Oneness" within us, which is our natural state, the state that God is in within us, and the state that we were in when we first came here, but without an understanding of that state, of our "Oneness", which is why we lost it, and fell into the state of "separation and differences" which is our current state, the state that we are currently living in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as God's "School of Contrast", the first of many of God's Schools within us, but which in truth has grown within us in our ignorance, and now rules over us as the 9 openings of our body, with God's permission.

That is, that rule over us until we see God and steady Him within us, until through this contrast of who we truly are within us, which is of God within us, and who in our ignorance we have become, which is "you and I" living on the "outside" of us, we come to understand our "Oneness", and reject our "separation and differences", reject our life of sin in the illusory world on the "outside" of us, and again become "One with" God within us, doing all of this, at least truly joining in partnership with God within us, to state all of this, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, and before at least one of us prematurely destroys the "outside" of all of us, for all of us, which in our age is also a very real possibility.

For in truth understanding only occurs through contrast, and only through the contrast of "us" on the "outside" of us and of God within us, can we ever come to understand who we "Already are", which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, understanding the state that we were already in while living in the world of souls as "One with" God within  us, before coming to this earth world, before coming to this "School of Contrast" within us, because since understanding can only occur through contrast, and in the world of souls there was no contrast, we could not come to understand who we "Already were" in the world of souls, we could not come to an understanding of our purity, and of our "Oneness" there, and we had to come here, to this earth world, where we could grow that contrast within us, grow what we have now become "One with", which is the darkness and evil within us that in our ignorance we see as existing or the "outside" of us.

And that is why we are here, in this earth world, that is the true purpose of our life, to understand who we "Already are", and having understood to join again as "One with" God within us, and to then share that understanding with God for eternity, not to work for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, which in truth is just a reflection of our current life of selfishness on the "outside" of us, and not to try and help people who are "separate from" us, which in truth is just a reflection of our arrogance.

So God created the "School of Contrast" known as the earth world and placed it within us, which in our ignorance we now see as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living on the "outside" of us, so this is what God did for us, so if we like, we could come to study and come to understand our purity, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, which is our soul liberated from its cross of our "outside" joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom.

Which is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in our life, which is what we must first become "One with" on our journey back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, with us becoming "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, after our wisdom liberates our soul, liberates Jesus (peace be upon Him) from the cross of our elemental body, which is our life of ignorance on the "outside" of us, with our awakened wisdom having removed the 5 nails from the cross of our soul, which is "our desire to live here", that is, the desire of the 5 kinds of elemental lives within us to live on the "outside" of us.

All of which will naturally happen within us, that is, our awakened wisdom will liberate our soul from its cross of an impure birth, and make it shine, after we have awakened our wisdom by finding and applying the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of God for our age.

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

And if we like, next come to study and understand our "Oneness" which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, which is our liberated soul joined with our awakened wisdom, having searched for, found, and become "One with" the "body of our soul", which is the light of our wisdom, which in truth is "True Prayer" within us, which in truth is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us.  Amen.

The First of God's schools within us is the "School of Contrast" where we have come
to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, with the Next of God's Schools being the "School of Light", which is where we naturally go after passing our exams and graduating from this First of God's Schools.

That is, after we have successfully joined in partnership with God within us to build the "Palace of the Soul", the "House of Wisdom" within us, which is the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, lets look a little deeper at what Bawa teaches us about the "Schools of God" within us, specifically about the first of God's Schools, the "School of Contrast', which is where we have all now all come, in our journey back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and of the consequences if we don't successfully pass our exams and graduate from this first of God's Schools, from the "School of Contrast", before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, the consequences if in truth we become one of "God's Dropouts".

That is, what will God then do with us if we truly ignore His life and teaching for our age, if we ignore the "Gift of God" for our age, if we ignore all of the love, and wisdom, and truth, in this Spiritual Letter, as some people did at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and we are still in our current state when we die to the "outside" of us, if we are still living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, if we are still living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, when we die to the "outside" of us, if we are still living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, which in truth is where we currently are, as the "Seed of God" within us, where we have been planted by God within us, as the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, when we first came to this earth world.

For such is the journey that we are all on, my dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Delores, the journey from the world of souls within us, then to the womb of our mother, and then for the first 2 years of our life, a journey into the form of the purity of God within us, but with "us" still without an understanding of our "purity", and then after the age of 2 until now, a journey into the "School of Contrasts", into the darkness and evil within us discarded by God within us, into the first of "God's Schools", which we now see in our ignorance as "you and I" living on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. 

Such is our current state of arrogance, karma, and illusion, of desire for earth, women, and gold, of the evil actions of time or kalam within us that is leading us to the Angel of Death or Kalan within us (peace be upon Him).

And after our physical death, if we are still in our current state of ignorance, of "separation and differences", if we are still living a life of sin on the "outside" of us, is leading us to the "suffering of the grave" within us, and to the "Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment" or Qiyamah within us, and in this way, if we have not become wise before our physical death, that is, if we have not learned to draw upon the "Power of God" within us to again more forward our life on our original journey, if we have not re-established our direct connection to God within us, is leading us to 105 million rebirths within us, with us potentially becoming a worm in hell within us with only one level of consciousness, or feeling.

And in this way, with "us" potentially ending up with an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which is truth is our "separation from" the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is who we truly are, which in truth is "Our Story", the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man".

And all of this, that is, our purpose, the true purpose of our life, is like the purpose of an apple seed buried within the earth, which is to tell the story of the "oneness of the apple tree, the apples, and the apple seeds", a story that the apple seed comes to the earth, to join as "one with" the earth, to tell, if it will only germinate, if it will only realize, understand, accept, and join as "one with" the 'truth of itself" that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it.

With us remembering as we read these words of wisdom for our age, that not all apple seeds germinate. Some rot in the earth, and are absorbed into the earth, and reborn 105 million times, but never again as an apple seed buried within the earth, and as such, forever breaking their connection to the story of "oneness" hidden within us, that they were created by God to come to the earth to tell, as the story of our "Oneness", of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, has also been hidden by God within each of us. 

For without an understanding of this, of our "Oneness" within us, and even with an understanding of it but without the will to accept it, to accept it as the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, without the will to let the falsehood of us, which is our current life, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, without the will to let these come to an end within us, before we die to the flesh, then "we" like some apple seeds will never germinate, then "we" like some apple seeds will never reveal the truth of us, and the truth of God hidden within us, then "we" will never tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God has secretly placed within the heart of each of us, that we came to this earth world, to this "School of Contrasts", to join with the "Earth of God" within us, which is the Creation of God within us, to tell.

For without an understanding of our "Oneness" within us, and without our complete acceptance of it, as in truth the "will of God" within us, as what God has hidden within us to complete His intention within us, before we die to the flesh, which is  to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, than all that we have learned is our life of sin, in our life of  "separation and differences" on the "outside", is the opposite of God within us, is the opposite of what God is doing within us.

And if we physically die in that state, then that "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of this opposite of God within us, which is all of what God has discarded within us, in becoming God within us, is all we will ever get, is all that we will ever experience, both now before we die to the flesh, and then in the hereafter after we die to the flesh, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, because all that we can get after we die to the flesh, of God within us, and of what God has given us within us, is what we have opened of God within us, and of what God has given us, because this is the "Justice of God" within us,

For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) taught us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, and now as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us on the "outside" of us right now, are teaching us right now in this Spiritual Letter:

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

And in this way, each of us will get the "harvest of the crop we have sown", and we will "move into the house that we have build", while living our life on the "outside" of us, and if at the time of our death to the "outside" of us that has only been a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, a life of sin, on the "outside" of us, then that becomes our harvest for eternity, that becomes our house for eternity, because that is the way it works, that is the way God set it up, that is the justice of God within us.

And like the apple seeds that fail to germinate in their lifetime, we too will have lost forever the opportunity of becoming who in truth we "Already are", of becoming one who has truly again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again.

For only then, when we die in that state, in this state of "Oneness" with God within us, of "Oneness" with each other on the "outside" of  us, and of "Oneness" with the Creation of God within us, which is the "Earth of God" within us, will we get that same state for eternity.

And before we die to the flesh, only then can we say in truth that we have "helped another person" as God helps, that is, as "One with", only then can we say that "God did it", that "God did it" as "One with" us within us and with "us" as "One with" God within Him.

And not that "we did it", that "we die it" as "separate from", that is, that "we die it" in the state of "separation from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us.  Amen.

May God help us all to reach this state before we die to the flesh, and He most certainly will, if we will only let Him, if we will only make this, and only this, the true intention of our life, if we will make the true intention of our life to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

Expanded Summary of Topic 05:

The dangerous trap of our life is "us" thinking that we are doing the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is only leading us further and further away from God within us, is only leading us to hell within us, is only leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, all within the "Justice of God" within us

The dangerous trap of our life is "us" in our current state of "separate from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, thinking that we are doing the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us. 

For example, which is "us" trying to "help other people" when in truth we are still living a life "separate from" God within us, "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, a way of life on the "outside" of us, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is only leading us further and further away from God within us, and further and further away from the "duty of God" within us, and further and further away from truly "helping other people" on the "outside" of us, and in truth is only leading us to hell within us, is only leading us to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us and to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, with all of this occurring within us within the "Justice of God" within us

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and
Dolores, lets look a little deeper at what Bawa teaches us about the dangerous trap of
our life, that is, when we "forget God and fall into many a trap, and do not even know to
seek ourselves although God exists within man", because in our ignorance, and in our
arrogance about our ignorance, we wrongly believe that "what we are currently
experiencing" is "who we truly are", is "where we truly are", and is "what is truly
happening" in our life.

When in truth all of this is false, in truth all of what we are currently experiencing 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, is "not who
we are", is "not were we are", and is "not what is happening" in our life, but in truth is
a dream, is all really within us, has all really grown within us in our ignorance, and now
rules over us as the 9 openings of our body, with God's permission, is all now what in
truth "separates us" from God within us, and "separates us" from each other on the
"outside" of us, and "separates us" from the Creation of God, from the "Earth of God"
within us.

And only when we come to correctly understand what we are currently experiencing as
the "School of Contrast", as the first of God's Schools within us, where we have come
as the soul, surrounded by the wisdom of God, by the 6th level of wisdom, the wisdom
of the Qutbiyyat of God, which teaches, analyzes, and controls, in order to learn about
who we "Already are", in order to understand our "Oneness", to understand the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that God has personally and ever so
lovingly placed within each of us, even before we came to this earth world, can we truly
become successful in our own lifetime, that is, before we die to the flesh, to the
"outside" of us.

And only then can we avoid the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are doing the
duty of God on the "outside" of us, when in truth we are on an express train to hell
within us, the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are "helping other people" on the
"outside" of us, when in truth the "outside" of us is just a dream composed of what God
has discarded within us, of what God has discarded within us as part of God becoming
God within us, the "outside" of us which we must get God within us to discard again,
but this time within us, within our very own heart.  Amen.

And the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are helping those who are "separate
from" us, in the name of God, when in truth our current focus on our "separation from"
each other on the "outside" of us is only increasing our "separation from" God within
us, with each day, each hour, each moment, and each second of our life, the
dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are one of the "do gooders" of God within us,
when in truth all of our apparent goodness is but a reflection of our ignorance of the true
nature of God within us, and of True Man within God within us, and a reflection of our
increasing arrogance about our ignorance, when in truth all of our apparent
understanding of God is only making God within us move further and further away from
us on the "outside" of us.

In this way, all of our acts of apparent goodness are in truth only increasing our
"separation from" God within us, and our "separation from" each other, not drawing us
nearer to His Divine Feet within us, or making us acceptable to God within us, as we
may think that it is doing.

Expanded Summary of Topic 06:

The point of our life in the world is to learn the lessons that we have come here to learn, in this earth world within us, before we die to the flesh, in this "School of Contrast" within us, that is, to understand "Who we already are", and then to leave here and return to God within us, from whom we have all come, in order to learn these lessons correctly, and to do all of this before we die to the flesh.

That is, to clearly understand what is "separating us from God" within us, what is  "separating us from each other" on the "outside" of us, and what is "separating us from the Creation of God" within us, and having learned all of these lesson, and having then graduated from the "School of Contrasts" within us, to return to God within us, in order to go to the next of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, in order to learn about God from God within us.

And in this way, having learned our lesson to return to God within us, by again becoming "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or to at least truly join in partnership with God within us to start this process, this process of returning to the "Oneness" within us which in truth is God within us, and in this way, allowing God to complete what He 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.  Amen.

Text of Topic 06:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, so what is the point of our life in the world, what have we come here to do?  This is something we must become very clear about before we go any further in our life, for without this clarity how can we complete what we have come here to do, and anything that we might set out to do, like trying to "help other people", or in a more broad way, like trying to do the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us, may not be what we came here to do, or even if it is what we should be doing, it may still not be appropriate for the state we are currently in, like trying to "help other people" like God helps, that is, as "One with", when in truth we are still in the state of "separation from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us.

For by us thinking in this way, that "we" are capable of "helping other people" who we still see in our ignorance as "separate from" us, people that we only see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, we are missing the point of our life in the world, for in truth it is "we" who need the help, not just the people that we see, and the only one who can provide that help, to both us and to everyone else, is God within us, as "One with" everyone and with everything, and certainly not us in our current state as "separate from" everyone and from everything.

For in truth the cure of us is God within us, is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, is this story being allowed by "us" to be told within us, which is the "Seed of God" within us being allowed to germinate within the "Earth of God" within us, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, is our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom.

And then is allowed by "us" to come to maturity within us as the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the mature "Fruits of God" within us, again revealing the "Seed of God" within us, but this time a 1000 fold, a maturity within us which in truth is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), is our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom, having found and become "One with" the light of our wisdom.

In this way, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, in this way, completing the "Religion of God" within us, placing a seal on the "Path of God" within us, which is the "Straight Path of God" within us, the path that leads us back into the "Oneness with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again.

This is the true purpose of our life, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, "us" joining in partnership with God within us, to become again "One with" God within us, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, not "us" trying to work for wages in order to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us.  Amen.

07.  The Cure of Us Is God Himself - Not "Us" Getting Better 
                                                                                - go to "Text of Topic 07"
Expanded Summary of Topic 07:

The cure of "us" is God Himself, not "us", as "separate from" God, getting better in some way, the cure of "us" is our becoming again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, which in truth is how we show God our true "Love for God".

That is, how we show God our true "Love for God" is by "us" showing God, while we are still alive in the world, that we would now willingly and freely die to the "outside" of us so that God can truly live again within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.

For as God, as the Holy Trinity, as the Father, as the Son or Jesus (peace be upon Him), and as the Holy Spirit or wisdom or Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, was earlier willing to die so we could live, so we could live a life as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, so through contrast we could come to understand who we "Already are", so now we must die to the "outside" of us, to the "School of Contrast" within us, so He can again live within us, again live a life as "One with" us within us, again as the Holy Trinity within us, but this time within the heart of purity within us, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, but this time with an understanding of our purity, of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again.

In this way, with "us" realizing without the slightest doubt that in truth this is our only true cure, not what God can do for us as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, a belief which is false, a belief which in truth is just a reflection of our ego, of our "stubbornness".

A reflection of our "stubbornness" which in truth is the opposite of our "Love for God" within us, our "stubbornness" or refusal to give up our life "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, so God can again live as "One with" us within us, can again live as the Father, as the Son, and as the Holy Spirit within our purified heart within us, a "stubbornness" or refusal to give up our life of "separation from" God within us, to give up our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, no matter what God may say or show to us, over and over again, before we die to the flesh, even if it is the truth, the truth about "us" and God within us, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us.  Amen.

May God give us the grace of His wisdom to transcend our 'stubbornness" in our own lifetime, if that be our true intention, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, so what is the cure for our life in the world?  What will truly make us "acceptable to God" within us?  What is true success in our own lifetime? 

We must become clear on the correct answers to these questions, before we die to the flesh, and then truly set out to apply the correct answers to these questions in the time still remaining to us in this earth world, in this "School of Contrast", and then God will do everything else.  This is God's guarantee for our age.  This is certain.

And the answer to each of these questions is the same, it is God Himself, that is the cure of us, not "us" as "separate" from God getting better in some way, that is, in the same way that the cure of the apple seed buried within the earth is the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within that apple tree, and again the apple seeds hidden within those apple fruits, not anything that the apple seed might do, or not do, while it is still living a life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, as "separate from" the earth and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, and in ignorance of who it "Really is", of who it "Already is", and in ignorance of what is hidden within it, and what it must do to reveal what is hidden within it, which is to join as "one with" the truth of itself, that is, with the truth of the apple seed, which is the apple tree, and to join as "one with" the truth of what is hidden within it, that is, with the truth of the "apple tree", which is the apple fruits, in this way, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within it.

This is the cure of us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" hidden by God within us, that is, the completion of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God placed within us, a very, very long time ago, not "us" continuing to live a life on the "outside" of us, until we die to the flesh, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die in this state of "separation and differences" and then get that state of "separation and differences" for eternity within us, staying forever "separate from" God within us, and "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in truth is our hell within us, the hell that we have built within us, and will then go to for eternity, after we physically die to the "outside" of us.

This is the cure of us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which is the completion of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God placed within us, a very, very long time ago, not "us" continuing to live a life on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die in this state of "separation and differences" and then get that state of "separation and differences" for eternity within us, staying forever "separate from" God within us, and "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in truth is our hell.

This is the cure of us all, my dearest loving brother Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, the completion of this story within us, of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, in our own lifetime within us, or at least with us having joined again in partnership with God within us to start up this story again within us, to let this story be told again within us, and come to completion within us, as it was being told within us before, when we were in the world of souls within us, and when we were in the womb of our mother, and for the first 2 years of our life in this world within us, when we were "One with" God within us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, and spoke the language of all of the Creation of God within us, but without an understanding of our "Oneness", so we lost it.

With "us" remaining in that state of "Oneness" but without an understanding of that "Oneness" until the age of two, when we forgot God and fell into many a trap, when we fell into the traps of living as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, remaining in that state of "Oneness" without understanding until our mother and father pulled us into their world of "separation and differences", making us learn the ABC language of business that is the hallmark of this world of illusion, of this world of "separation and differences" that we now see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside", but which in truth is really within us, but which in truth has grown within us in our ignorance, and now rules over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, of our body made out of the 5 elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether (which are our 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual thoughts or energies).

This is the cure of us, my dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, God within us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, the completion of "Our Story", as the cure of the apple seed buried within the earth is the apple tree and its fruits, this is our only cure, not "us" living on the "outside' of us thinking that somehow we are getting better through our own efforts, through our friends and family, when in truth we have only become our parents, and made all of the mistakes of our parents, forgetting in the process our original parents, which in truth is God and True Man within us.

With us being destroy by the hypocrisy of our parents, and with us then destroying our children with the same hypocrisy, with us saying one thing but then doing another, with us holding one thing in our heart and another on our tongue. 

Such is the state that we have fallen into, a state that is completely the opposite of God.  So how can God accept what we are doing, and how can He let us draw near to Him when we die?

He can't and we must realize that He can't, without the slightest doubt, and stop all of our hypocrisy on the "outside" of us, all of our "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and again start to focus on our innate "Oneness", on the innate "Oneness of God and us" within us, on the innate "Oneness of us and others" within us, not on the "outside" of us, and on the innate "Oneness of us and the Creation of God" within us, that God has secretly and patiently and lovingly placed within each of us, even before we were born into this earth world, so God can then plant the "Seed of God" within us, when we are ready and willing to accept it.

So in truth our life can be used by God and True Man within us to tell Their story within us, and come to completion within us, so the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us can come to completion within us, which will all naturally happen within us when we are truly ready to both hear this story and to accept and join with it, that is, when we are truly ready to become "One with" it, and to give up our life on the "outside" of us for it, to give up our life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us so this story can be told within us, so the "Tree of God" within us and the "Fruits of God" within us can be revealed within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which in truth is just what an apple seed does, when an apple seed germinate, in order for the apple tree and the apple fruits hidden by God within it can be revealed, can begin to happen. 

In this way, can we not at least do as much as an apple seed and germinate, germinate to the "Truth of Us" within us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, the "Earth of God" within us, which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and also germinate to the "Truth of God" within the "Truth of us" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within us.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, may we at least do this with our life, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly start it up again before we die, at least join in partnership with God within us to start this up again in our life, as it was going on before we forgot God and fell into many a trap at the age of 2, for then our life will have become successful in our own lifetime, for then our wisdom will have reasoned over our fate, for then the qualities of our higher selves will have become victorious over the qualities of our lower selves, for then we will truly be acceptable to God within us.

Quotation From The "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verse 24:

For then as Jesus (peace be upon us) told us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, tell us again in our age, and now
as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are telling us again right now, on the "outside" of us, in this Spiritual Letter, and as the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him) recorded for all of us to read in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 5,
Verse 24,

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

And in truth all of us living in this age are now ready to both hear it and accept it, to both hear and accept the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, the truth of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, because God has made it so for our age, which is like no age before it.

For in our age God has placed within us, and on the "outside" of us, everything necessary for each of us to both hear and accept these truths, and then God will do everything else, if that be the true choice of our life, if we truly intend to again become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.

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

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

Introduction - to Page 02 of Spiritual Letter 71

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most
Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa
'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the
beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.

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

Here is the is "Page 2 of 4" of the "Outline And Summary Version" of the beautiful letter, of "Spiritual Letter 71", that was sent  to some High School Classmates of this child, to a Mr. Paul and Joan Sturgis, and to a Mr. Pierce and Dolores Pelouze, and to each of you, the Children of God for this age, hopefully for theirs and your reading enjoyment and sharing.

A Spiritual Letter that was sent after Mr. Paul Sturgis asked for help, after Paul asked
this child, and some of the other Classmates, to help him decide how best to use the
money that was collected by Paul at the previous "Guy's Luncheon", with the intention
of "helping other people", a luncheon that the Haddonfield Memorial High School Class
of 1956 (the HMHS Class of 56) holds every couple of months, in Westmont, New
Jersey, in order to spread Fellowship among its male members, with the luncheon
sometimes including as many as 15 Classmates from the local and surrounding areas.

(Note: There is also a "Gal's Luncheon" held every couple of months by the girls of
HMHS Class of 56 which this child has repeatedly tried to attend, but none of the girls
has taken Louie up on the request, that is, yet, but we will keep trying, as we are sure
the girls will be more inclined than the boys to ask Louie about the life and teaching
of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be
pleased with Him), that has literally taken over the life of their dear Classmate Louie,
whereas the boys would be more inclined than the girls to follow the life and teaching
of His Holiness, if they ever did ask.  Such is the subtle nature of us all, and of the male and female within us all, that we must join with our wisdom to come to understand and transcend.  Amen.  Thank you.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar)

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

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

          is, with "us" understanding "Who we truly are", and "Where we truly are", and
          "What is truly happening" in our life
04.  The First of God's Schools - within us, is the "School of Contrast", which is
          where we have now come, to this earth world within us, in order to learn about
          what "separates us" from God within us, and join with God within us to remove it

          "separate from" thinking that we can do, and at times are doing, the "duty of
          God" on the "outside" of us

          here to learn, in this "School of Contrast", before we die to the flesh, and then to

11.  The One True Fault of Our Life - is our broken direct connection to God within us,
          which naturally occurs within us when in our ignorance we "forget God", when
          we turn away from God within us, and in this way, when we let the weeds grow
          in the flower garden of our heart, with "us" gradually becoming "One with" the
          weeds, seeing them in our ignorance as "us" living on the "outside" of us, but in
          truth with "us" within us no longer living as "One with" the Creator within us or as
          "One with" God's Flower Garden within us
12.  The True Nature of God & "Us" Within Us - is that God is the One within us who
          is conducting our life, not us, that God is the One within us who carries out
          everything in our life, not us, that God is the One within us who is responsible for
          the cause and the effect of our life, not us
13.  There Are No Good People, Only God Is God - so to become good we must first
          again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of

          realizing that all help is God's duty not ours, and then "be done with it", and look
          for what is next in our life
          2)  Seek A Wise Man Who Is Still Alive On The "Outside" - that is, if the urge or
          thought to "help other people" keeps coming back, and we still have no clarity
          about it, then find a wise man who is still living in the world and ask Him
          3)  Again Hand Them To God, And Be Done With Them - that is, if we can't find
          a wise man still living in the world, and we still lack clarity on it, then again hand

          4)  Do Nothing Until Clarity Comes - that is, if this urge or thought to "help other
          people" still keeps coming back, and we still lack clarity on it, and we still
          cannot find a wise man to ask, then do nothing, until some clarity comes, and
          again "be done with it" and look for what is next in our life

15) A Lion Doesn't Eat Grass - so before you set out to feed a lamb, who eats grass,
          make sure it isn't a hungry lion in hiding, hiding as a lamb, or you could become
          his next meal.  So be careful.  Such is the potential danger to "us" and to others
          when "we" or "they" as "separate from" God set out to "help other people"

          us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us. May God help us to obtain
          this state in our own lifetime, if that be our true intention for our life, that is, if the
          true intention for our life is "Oneness with" God within us rather then our current
          state of "separation from" God within  us. May God grant us the grace of His
          wisdom to do this in our lifetime. Amen. May God help us all.  Amen.

Expanded Summary of Topic 02:

We should help as God helps, as "One with", not as we currently try to help, which is as "separate from", as "separate from" everything, that is, as "separate from" God within us, and as "separate from" each other on the "outside' of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us.

But rather, we should only set out to "help other people" when we have come to the state that God within us is currently in, which is as "One with" everything. This is the only state from which we can truly help anyone, the state that God is in, that is, with "us" through our true partnership with God within us having again become  "One with" God within us, and "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us age. 

And with us as "One with" the Creation of God within us which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, which is where God in truth has planted "us" in this age, is where God has placed us in this age, within the "Earth of God" within us as the "Seed of God" for this age, so God can then, if we like, if we let Him, if we join Him, complete 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.  Amen.

Text of Topic 02:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and our dearest loving sisters Joan and
Dolores, let us now look at what our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa
Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach
us in our age about this subject of helping as God helps, that is, as "One with", rather
than as "separate from", and now as His Children (may God be pleased with each of
Us) are teaching us on the "outside" of us, are teaching us right now in this Spiritual
Letter.

First Bawa teaches us to do such things, like helping people, only when we are
capable of doing them as God would do them, as a true slave of God within us, that
is, as "One with" God within us, as  "One with" our dearest loving brother and sisters
on the "outside" of us, and as "One with" the Creation of God within us, all of which is
the natural state of a True Man, of a True Human Being, all of which is our natural and
true state, which is "Oneness", once we have gotten rid of our current unnatural and
false state, the state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, a state
that we have currently fallen into in our ignorance.

And we can only truly do this work, this work of truly helping people as God helps
them, that is, helping them as "One with" them, not as "separate from" them, after we
have truly joined with God within us, as "One with" God within us, to get ride of our
current "separation and differences".

And if we continue to try to do this work of helping others before making this change
in our own life, that is, while we are still in the state of "separation and differences",
then everything that we set out to do in that false state will most likely turn our wrong,
and could lead to our destruction and to the destruction of the very people that we are
trying to help, and at the very least could be very dangerous to all concerned.

So rather than trying to help other people in our current false state, in our current
state of living in our ignorance on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God, as
"separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, we
should instead focus all of our energy on returning to our true and natural state of
"Oneness", but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave
us again.

And we should focus on doing all of this "Heart's Work, as our Father, Shaikh
Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us,
and God within Him, teach us for our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased
with each of Us) are teaching us right now in this letter, before we die to the flesh,
because once we have physically died to the "outside" of us it is all over, and our
chance to return to our original state of "Oneness" with an understanding of that
"Oneness" is over.

Expanded Summary of Topic 03:

The true purpose of our life is "us" understanding who we "Already are" within us, is
"us" understanding "Who we truly are", and "Where we truly are", and "What is truly
happening" within our life.

That is, with "us" understanding "Who we truly are", which is "us" as the "Seed of
God" within us, and with "us" understanding "Where we truly are", which is where God
has planted us in our age, which is "us" as the "Seed of God" planted within the
Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, and with "us"
understanding "What is truly happening" in our life, which is "us" coming to realize,
understand, accept, and join as "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, which is "us"
as the "Seed of God" planted within the "Earth of God" within us, and is God as the
"Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within us, with "us" understanding
that the "Seed of God" planted within the "Earth of God" is really the "Truth of us", and
that the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within us is really the
"Truth of God" within us.

And in this way, and only in this way, with our life becoming truly successful in our own
lifetime, that is, before we die to the flesh, when we truly come to realize these truth
within us without the slightest doubt, and then join as "One with" the "Earth of God"
within us, which with "us" as the "Seed of God" we are truly buried within.

In this way, with "us" within us letting the "Earth of God" within us to then join as "One
with" us, with the "Seed of God" within it, and germinate, letting the "outside" of us as
"separate from" come to an end, and letting the true "inside" of "us" as "One with"
begin to live again, as it did before we forgot God within us, and fell into many of trap on
the "outside" of us.

And in this way, with "us" letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, with "us"
letting the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us germinate and reveal the
"Tree of God" within us, and in maturity reveal the "Fruits of God" within us, and in this
way, with "us" letting "True Man happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of
God within us.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, lets next take a look at what Bawa teaches us about the true purpose of our life, about "why we are here".

Bawa teaches us that the only true purpose of our life is to come to an understanding of the state of "Oneness" within us, which is our natural state, the state that God is in within us, and the state that we were in when we first came here, but without an understanding of that state, of our "Oneness", which is why we lost it, and fell into the state of "separation and differences" which is our current state, the state that we are currently living in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as God's "School of Contrast", the first of many of God's Schools within us, but which in truth has grown within us in our ignorance, and now rules over us as the 9 openings of our body, with God's permission.

That is, that rule over us until we see God and steady Him within us, until through this contrast of who we truly are within us, which is of God within us, and who in our ignorance we have become, which is "you and I" living on the "outside" of us, we come to understand our "Oneness", and reject our "separation and differences", reject our life of sin in the illusory world on the "outside" of us, and again become "One with" God within us, doing all of this, at least truly joining in partnership with God within us, to state all of this, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, and before at least one of us prematurely destroys the "outside" of all of us, for all of us, which in our age is also a very real possibility.

For in truth understanding only occurs through contrast, and only through the contrast of "us" on the "outside" of us and of God within us, can we ever come to understand who we "Already are", which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that is, understanding the state that we were already in while living in the world of souls as "One with" God within  us, before coming to this earth world, before coming to this "School of Contrast" within us, because since understanding can only occur through contrast, and in the world of souls there was no contrast, we could not come to understand who we "Already were" in the world of souls, we could not come to an understanding of our purity, and of our "Oneness" there, and we had to come here, to this earth world, where we could grow that contrast within us, grow what we have now become "One with", which is the darkness and evil within us that in our ignorance we see as existing or the "outside" of us.

And that is why we are here, in this earth world, that is the true purpose of our life, to understand who we "Already are", and having understood to join again as "One with" God within us, and to then share that understanding with God for eternity, not to work for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, which in truth is just a reflection of our current life of selfishness on the "outside" of us, and not to try and help people who are "separate from" us, which in truth is just a reflection of our arrogance.

So God created the "School of Contrast" known as the earth world and placed it within us, which in our ignorance we now see as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living on the "outside" of us, so this is what God did for us, so if we like, we could come to study and come to understand our purity, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, which is our soul liberated from its cross of our "outside" joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom.

Which is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in our life, which is what we must first become "One with" on our journey back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, with us becoming "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, after our wisdom liberates our soul, liberates Jesus (peace be upon Him) from the cross of our elemental body, which is our life of ignorance on the "outside" of us, with our awakened wisdom having removed the 5 nails from the cross of our soul, which is "our desire to live here", that is, the desire of the 5 kinds of elemental lives within us to live on the "outside" of us.

All of which will naturally happen within us, that is, our awakened wisdom will liberate our soul from its cross of an impure birth, and make it shine, after we have awakened our wisdom by finding and applying the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of God for our age.

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

And if we like, next come to study and understand our "Oneness" which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, which is our liberated soul joined with our awakened wisdom, having searched for, found, and become "One with" the "body of our soul", which is the light of our wisdom, which in truth is "True Prayer" within us, which in truth is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us.  Amen.

Expanded Summary of Topic 04:

The First of God's schools within us is the "School of Contrast" where we have come
to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, with the Next of God's Schools being the "School of Light", which is where we naturally go after passing our exams and graduating from this First of God's Schools.

That is, after we have successfully joined in partnership with God within us to build the "Palace of the Soul", the "House of Wisdom" within us, which is the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us.  Amen.

Text of Topic 04:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, lets look a little deeper at what Bawa teaches us about the "Schools of God" within us, specifically about the first of God's Schools, the "School of Contrast', which is where we have all now all come, in our journey back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and of the consequences if we don't successfully pass our exams and graduate from this first of God's Schools, from the "School of Contrast", before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, the consequences if in truth we become one of "God's Dropouts".

That is, what will God then do with us if we truly ignore His life and teaching for our age, if we ignore the "Gift of God" for our age, if we ignore all of the love, and wisdom, and truth, in this Spiritual Letter, as some people did at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and we are still in our current state when we die to the "outside" of us, if we are still living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, if we are still living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, when we die to the "outside" of us, if we are still living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, which in truth is where we currently are, as the "Seed of God" within us, where we have been planted by God within us, as the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, when we first came to this earth world.

For such is the journey that we are all on, my dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Delores, the journey from the world of souls within us, then to the womb of our mother, and then for the first 2 years of our life, a journey into the form of the purity of God within us, but with "us" still without an understanding of our "purity", and then after the age of 2 until now, a journey into the "School of Contrasts", into the darkness and evil within us discarded by God within us, into the first of "God's Schools", which we now see in our ignorance as "you and I" living on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. 

Such is our current state of arrogance, karma, and illusion, of desire for earth, women, and gold, of the evil actions of time or kalam within us that is leading us to the Angel of Death or Kalan within us (peace be upon Him).

And after our physical death, if we are still in our current state of ignorance, of "separation and differences", if we are still living a life of sin on the "outside" of us, is leading us to the "suffering of the grave" within us, and to the "Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment" or Qiyamah within us, and in this way, if we have not become wise before our physical death, that is, if we have not learned to draw upon the "Power of God" within us to again more forward our life on our original journey, if we have not re-established our direct connection to God within us, is leading us to 105 million rebirths within us, with us potentially becoming a worm in hell within us with only one level of consciousness, or feeling.

And in this way, with "us" potentially ending up with an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which is truth is our "separation from" the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is who we truly are, which in truth is "Our Story", the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man".

And all of this, that is, our purpose, the true purpose of our life, is like the purpose of an apple seed buried within the earth, which is to tell the story of the "oneness of the apple tree, the apples, and the apple seeds", a story that the apple seed comes to the earth, to join as "one with" the earth, to tell, if it will only germinate, if it will only realize, understand, accept, and join as "one with" the 'truth of itself" that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it.

With us remembering as we read these words of wisdom for our age, that not all apple seeds germinate. Some rot in the earth, and are absorbed into the earth, and reborn 105 million times, but never again as an apple seed buried within the earth, and as such, forever breaking their connection to the story of "oneness" hidden within us, that they were created by God to come to the earth to tell, as the story of our "Oneness", of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, has also been hidden by God within each of us. 

For without an understanding of this, of our "Oneness" within us, and even with an understanding of it but without the will to accept it, to accept it as the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, without the will to let the falsehood of us, which is our current life, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, without the will to let these come to an end within us, before we die to the flesh, then "we" like some apple seeds will never germinate, then "we" like some apple seeds will never reveal the truth of us, and the truth of God hidden within us, then "we" will never tell the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God has secretly placed within the heart of each of us, that we came to this earth world, to this "School of Contrasts", to join with the "Earth of God" within us, which is the Creation of God within us, to tell.

For without an understanding of our "Oneness" within us, and without our complete acceptance of it, as in truth the "will of God" within us, as what God has hidden within us to complete His intention within us, before we die to the flesh, which is  to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, than all that we have learned is our life of sin, in our life of  "separation and differences" on the "outside", is the opposite of God within us, is the opposite of what God is doing within us.

And if we physically die in that state, then that "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of this opposite of God within us, which is all of what God has discarded within us, in becoming God within us, is all we will ever get, is all that we will ever experience, both now before we die to the flesh, and then in the hereafter after we die to the flesh, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, because all that we can get after we die to the flesh, of God within us, and of what God has given us within us, is what we have opened of God within us, and of what God has given us, because this is the "Justice of God" within us,

For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) taught us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, and now as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us on the "outside" of us right now, are teaching us right now in this Spiritual Letter:

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

And in this way, each of us will get the "harvest of the crop we have sown", and we will "move into the house that we have build", while living our life on the "outside" of us, and if at the time of our death to the "outside" of us that has only been a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, a life of sin, on the "outside" of us, then that becomes our harvest for eternity, that becomes our house for eternity, because that is the way it works, that is the way God set it up, that is the justice of God within us.

And like the apple seeds that fail to germinate in their lifetime, we too will have lost forever the opportunity of becoming who in truth we "Already are", of becoming one who has truly again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again.

For only then, when we die in that state, in this state of "Oneness" with God within us, of "Oneness" with each other on the "outside" of  us, and of "Oneness" with the Creation of God within us, which is the "Earth of God" within us, will we get that same state for eternity.

And before we die to the flesh, only then can we say in truth that we have "helped another person" as God helps, that is, as "One with", only then can we say that "God did it", that "God did it" as "One with" us within us and with "us" as "One with" God within Him.

And not that "we did it", that "we die it" as "separate from", that is, that "we die it" in the state of "separation from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us.  Amen.

May God help us all to reach this state before we die to the flesh, and He most certainly will, if we will only let Him, if we will only make this, and only this, the true intention of our life, if we will make the true intention of our life to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

Expanded Summary of Topic 05:

The dangerous trap of our life is "us" thinking that we are doing the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is only leading us further and further away from God within us, is only leading us to hell within us, is only leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, all within the "Justice of God" within us

The dangerous trap of our life is "us" in our current state of "separate from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, thinking that we are doing the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us. 

For example, which is "us" trying to "help other people" when in truth we are still living a life "separate from" God within us, "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, a way of life on the "outside" of us, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is only leading us further and further away from God within us, and further and further away from the "duty of God" within us, and further and further away from truly "helping other people" on the "outside" of us, and in truth is only leading us to hell within us, is only leading us to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us and to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, with all of this occurring within us within the "Justice of God" within us

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and
Dolores, lets look a little deeper at what Bawa teaches us about the dangerous trap of
our life, that is, when we "forget God and fall into many a trap, and do not even know to
seek ourselves although God exists within man", because in our ignorance, and in our
arrogance about our ignorance, we wrongly believe that "what we are currently
experiencing" is "who we truly are", is "where we truly are", and is "what is truly
happening" in our life.

When in truth all of this is false, in truth all of what we are currently experiencing 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, is "not who
we are", is "not were we are", and is "not what is happening" in our life, but in truth is
a dream, is all really within us, has all really grown within us in our ignorance, and now
rules over us as the 9 openings of our body, with God's permission, is all now what in
truth "separates us" from God within us, and "separates us" from each other on the
"outside" of us, and "separates us" from the Creation of God, from the "Earth of God"
within us.

And only when we come to correctly understand what we are currently experiencing as
the "School of Contrast", as the first of God's Schools within us, where we have come
as the soul, surrounded by the wisdom of God, by the 6th level of wisdom, the wisdom
of the Qutbiyyat of God, which teaches, analyzes, and controls, in order to learn about
who we "Already are", in order to understand our "Oneness", to understand the
"Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that God has personally and ever so
lovingly placed within each of us, even before we came to this earth world, can we truly
become successful in our own lifetime, that is, before we die to the flesh, to the
"outside" of us.

And only then can we avoid the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are doing the
duty of God on the "outside" of us, when in truth we are on an express train to hell
within us, the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are "helping other people" on the
"outside" of us, when in truth the "outside" of us is just a dream composed of what God
has discarded within us, of what God has discarded within us as part of God becoming
God within us, the "outside" of us which we must get God within us to discard again,
but this time within us, within our very own heart.  Amen.

And the dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are helping those who are "separate
from" us, in the name of God, when in truth our current focus on our "separation from"
each other on the "outside" of us is only increasing our "separation from" God within
us, with each day, each hour, each moment, and each second of our life, the
dangerous trap of "us" thinking that we are one of the "do gooders" of God within us,
when in truth all of our apparent goodness is but a reflection of our ignorance of the true
nature of God within us, and of True Man within God within us, and a reflection of our
increasing arrogance about our ignorance, when in truth all of our apparent
understanding of God is only making God within us move further and further away from
us on the "outside" of us.

In this way, all of our acts of apparent goodness are in truth only increasing our
"separation from" God within us, and our "separation from" each other, not drawing us
nearer to His Divine Feet within us, or making us acceptable to God within us, as we
may think that it is doing.

Expanded Summary of Topic 06:

The point of our life in the world is to learn the lessons that we have come here to learn, in this earth world within us, before we die to the flesh, in this "School of Contrast" within us, that is, to understand "Who we already are", and then to leave here and return to God within us, from whom we have all come, in order to learn these lessons correctly, and to do all of this before we die to the flesh.

That is, to clearly understand what is "separating us from God" within us, what is  "separating us from each other" on the "outside" of us, and what is "separating us from the Creation of God" within us, and having learned all of these lesson, and having then graduated from the "School of Contrasts" within us, to return to God within us, in order to go to the next of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, in order to learn about God from God within us.

And in this way, having learned our lesson to return to God within us, by again becoming "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or to at least truly join in partnership with God within us to start this process, this process of returning to the "Oneness" within us which in truth is God within us, and in this way, allowing God to complete what He 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.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, so what is the point of our life in the world, what have we come here to do?  This is something we must become very clear about before we go any further in our life, for without this clarity how can we complete what we have come here to do, and anything that we might set out to do, like trying to "help other people", or in a more broad way, like trying to do the "duty of God" on the "outside" of us, may not be what we came here to do, or even if it is what we should be doing, it may still not be appropriate for the state we are currently in, like trying to "help other people" like God helps, that is, as "One with", when in truth we are still in the state of "separation from" God within us, of "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us.

For by us thinking in this way, that "we" are capable of "helping other people" who we still see in our ignorance as "separate from" us, people that we only see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, we are missing the point of our life in the world, for in truth it is "we" who need the help, not just the people that we see, and the only one who can provide that help, to both us and to everyone else, is God within us, as "One with" everyone and with everything, and certainly not us in our current state as "separate from" everyone and from everything.

For in truth the cure of us is God within us, is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, is this story being allowed by "us" to be told within us, which is the "Seed of God" within us being allowed to germinate within the "Earth of God" within us, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, is our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom.

And then is allowed by "us" to come to maturity within us as the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the mature "Fruits of God" within us, again revealing the "Seed of God" within us, but this time a 1000 fold, a maturity within us which in truth is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), is our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom, having found and become "One with" the light of our wisdom.

In this way, establishing True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, in this way, completing the "Religion of God" within us, placing a seal on the "Path of God" within us, which is the "Straight Path of God" within us, the path that leads us back into the "Oneness with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again.

This is the true purpose of our life, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, "us" joining in partnership with God within us, to become again "One with" God within us, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, not "us" trying to work for wages in order to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us.  Amen.

The cure of "us" is God Himself, not "us", as "separate from" God, getting better in some way, the cure of "us" is our becoming again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, which in truth is how we show God our true "Love for God".

That is, how we show God our true "Love for God" is by "us" showing God, while we are still alive in the world, that we would now willingly and freely die to the "outside" of us so that God can truly live again within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.

For as God, as the Holy Trinity, as the Father, as the Son or Jesus (peace be upon Him), and as the Holy Spirit or wisdom or Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, was earlier willing to die so we could live, so we could live a life as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, so through contrast we could come to understand who we "Already are", so now we must die to the "outside" of us, to the "School of Contrast" within us, so He can again live within us, again live a life as "One with" us within us, again as the Holy Trinity within us, but this time within the heart of purity within us, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, but this time with an understanding of our purity, of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again.

In this way, with "us" realizing without the slightest doubt that in truth this is our only true cure, not what God can do for us as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, after we die to the flesh, a belief which is false, a belief which in truth is just a reflection of our ego, of our "stubbornness".

A reflection of our "stubbornness" which in truth is the opposite of our "Love for God" within us, our "stubbornness" or refusal to give up our life "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, so God can again live as "One with" us within us, can again live as the Father, as the Son, and as the Holy Spirit within our purified heart within us, a "stubbornness" or refusal to give up our life of "separation from" God within us, to give up our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, no matter what God may say or show to us, over and over again, before we die to the flesh, even if it is the truth, the truth about "us" and God within us, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us.  Amen.

May God give us the grace of His wisdom to transcend our 'stubbornness" in our own lifetime, if that be our true intention, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.  Amen.

Text of Topic 07:

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierced, and our dearest loving sisters, Joan and Dolores, so what is the cure for our life in the world?  What will truly make us "acceptable to God" within us?  What is true success in our own lifetime? 

We must become clear on the correct answers to these questions, before we die to the flesh, and then truly set out to apply the correct answers to these questions in the time still remaining to us in this earth world, in this "School of Contrast", and then God will do everything else.  This is God's guarantee for our age.  This is certain.

And the answer to each of these questions is the same, it is God Himself, that is the cure of us, not "us" as "separate" from God getting better in some way, that is, in the same way that the cure of the apple seed buried within the earth is the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within that apple tree, and again the apple seeds hidden within those apple fruits, not anything that the apple seed might do, or not do, while it is still living a life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, as "separate from" the earth and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, and in ignorance of who it "Really is", of who it "Already is", and in ignorance of what is hidden within it, and what it must do to reveal what is hidden within it, which is to join as "one with" the truth of itself, that is, with the truth of the apple seed, which is the apple tree, and to join as "one with" the truth of what is hidden within it, that is, with the truth of the "apple tree", which is the apple fruits, in this way, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within it.

This is the cure of us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" hidden by God within us, that is, the completion of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God placed within us, a very, very long time ago, not "us" continuing to live a life on the "outside" of us, until we die to the flesh, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die in this state of "separation and differences" and then get that state of "separation and differences" for eternity within us, staying forever "separate from" God within us, and "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in truth is our hell within us, the hell that we have built within us, and will then go to for eternity, after we physically die to the "outside" of us.

This is the cure of us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which is the completion of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God placed within us, a very, very long time ago, not "us" continuing to live a life on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die in this state of "separation and differences" and then get that state of "separation and differences" for eternity within us, staying forever "separate from" God within us, and "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in truth is our hell.

This is the cure of us all, my dearest loving brother Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, the completion of this story within us, of the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, in our own lifetime within us, or at least with us having joined again in partnership with God within us to start up this story again within us, to let this story be told again within us, and come to completion within us, as it was being told within us before, when we were in the world of souls within us, and when we were in the womb of our mother, and for the first 2 years of our life in this world within us, when we were "One with" God within us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, and spoke the language of all of the Creation of God within us, but without an understanding of our "Oneness", so we lost it.

With "us" remaining in that state of "Oneness" but without an understanding of that "Oneness" until the age of two, when we forgot God and fell into many a trap, when we fell into the traps of living as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, remaining in that state of "Oneness" without understanding until our mother and father pulled us into their world of "separation and differences", making us learn the ABC language of business that is the hallmark of this world of illusion, of this world of "separation and differences" that we now see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside", but which in truth is really within us, but which in truth has grown within us in our ignorance, and now rules over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, of our body made out of the 5 elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether (which are our 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual thoughts or energies).

This is the cure of us, my dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, God within us, the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, the completion of "Our Story", as the cure of the apple seed buried within the earth is the apple tree and its fruits, this is our only cure, not "us" living on the "outside' of us thinking that somehow we are getting better through our own efforts, through our friends and family, when in truth we have only become our parents, and made all of the mistakes of our parents, forgetting in the process our original parents, which in truth is God and True Man within us.

With us being destroy by the hypocrisy of our parents, and with us then destroying our children with the same hypocrisy, with us saying one thing but then doing another, with us holding one thing in our heart and another on our tongue. 

Such is the state that we have fallen into, a state that is completely the opposite of God.  So how can God accept what we are doing, and how can He let us draw near to Him when we die?

He can't and we must realize that He can't, without the slightest doubt, and stop all of our hypocrisy on the "outside" of us, all of our "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and again start to focus on our innate "Oneness", on the innate "Oneness of God and us" within us, on the innate "Oneness of us and others" within us, not on the "outside" of us, and on the innate "Oneness of us and the Creation of God" within us, that God has secretly and patiently and lovingly placed within each of us, even before we were born into this earth world, so God can then plant the "Seed of God" within us, when we are ready and willing to accept it.

So in truth our life can be used by God and True Man within us to tell Their story within us, and come to completion within us, so the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us can come to completion within us, which will all naturally happen within us when we are truly ready to both hear this story and to accept and join with it, that is, when we are truly ready to become "One with" it, and to give up our life on the "outside" of us for it, to give up our life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us so this story can be told within us, so the "Tree of God" within us and the "Fruits of God" within us can be revealed within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which in truth is just what an apple seed does, when an apple seed germinate, in order for the apple tree and the apple fruits hidden by God within it can be revealed, can begin to happen. 

In this way, can we not at least do as much as an apple seed and germinate, germinate to the "Truth of Us" within us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, the "Earth of God" within us, which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and also germinate to the "Truth of God" within the "Truth of us" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within us.  Amen.

My dearest loving brothers Paul and Pierce, and my dearest loving sisters Joan and Dolores, may we at least do this with our life, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly start it up again before we die, at least join in partnership with God within us to start this up again in our life, as it was going on before we forgot God and fell into many a trap at the age of 2, for then our life will have become successful in our own lifetime, for then our wisdom will have reasoned over our fate, for then the qualities of our higher selves will have become victorious over the qualities of our lower selves, for then we will truly be acceptable to God within us.

Quotation From The "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verse 24:

For then as Jesus (peace be upon us) told us over 2000 years ago, and now in our age as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, tell us again in our age, and now
as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are telling us again right now, on the "outside" of us, in this Spiritual Letter, and as the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him) recorded for all of us to read in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 5,
Verse 24,

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

And in truth all of us living in this age are now ready to both hear it and accept it, to both hear and accept the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, the truth of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, because God has made it so for our age, which is like no age before it.

For in our age God has placed within us, and on the "outside" of us, everything necessary for each of us to both hear and accept these truths, and then God will do everything else, if that be the true choice of our life, if we truly intend to again become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us.

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

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