Here is the latest in a series of beautiful Spiritual Topics that are a part of the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, that have been summarized for us by one of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which for this topic is our dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Thank you.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
-Original Version of Topic - original text of topic, with no outline or summary
01. The Path To Solving "Us" And Our Problems - is within us as the 18,000 universes within us, as the 124,000 Prophets of God within us, as The Triple Flame within Alif, Lam, Mim, within us, as the Word of God within us, as the Word of Bawa within us, and of God within Him.
It is within us, not "outside" of us, not with "us" living as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God "on" the "outside" of us, not as the world that we see with our brothers and sisters in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us.
The path to solving "us" outside of us, and our problems "outside" of us, which is really the same thing, is really "inside" of us, not "outside" of us, because in truth that is where "we" and "our problems" really exist, within us not "outside" of us, because in truth everything is within us not "outside" of us, including God, all of the "Stuff of God", like His grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge, His 124,000 Prophets, as well as His heavenly beings and lights of God, and all of the Creation of God, all of which is not really seen "outside" of us, but is only seen within us through our wisdom.
And also within us is "us", in the state of "separation and differences", and all of our brothers and sisters, as well as the world that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, which is really the world of darkness within us, and our body of illusion within us, as well as the self, which is the "cooperative store" of the six faces within us, and the "I" within us, which is in truth the 12 signs of the Zodiac within us, with the one below and the two above ruling over the 9 planets, the 9 openings of our illusory body, with the 9 planets, the 9 openings ruling over us, with God's permission, with God moving back and forth between this world within us and the secret world of Allah within us.
Until we "see God" on the "outside" of us, destroying the one below within us, which is our ego, revealing the 6th life within us, which is the true Shaikh or Guru of God both within us and "outside" of us, the life of clarity and purity within us, the life of our wisdom joined with our soul within us, which originally appears within us as Jesus (peace be upon Him), and in maturity becomes the palace of the soul within us, the house of wisdom within us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and then becomes the 8th heaven of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, which is firdaus, the kingdom of God within us.
Bawa beautifully describes all of this in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", especially starting with Chapter 21, "The Six Faces", through and including Chapter 30 and Chapter 31, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body" and "The Twenty Eight Arabic Alphabets In Man's Body", which are really one chapter broken into two.
Please try to join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to read and become One with this beautiful understanding, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, as this is the "truth of us" within the Creation of God within us, which is "True Man happening" within us, and the "truth of God" within God within our wisdom within us, which is "God happening" within us. Amen.
In this way, revealing the 11 weapons of the Qutb within us, which is the Ship of the Qutb within us, in this way closing the 2 openings below within us, revealing the 3 above within us ruling over the 7 openings above within us, which as the 3+7 = 10 within us, become the 10 commandments of Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, and the 10 mystical experiences of the Qutb within us, allowing our heart, the handful of earth placed within us, as Adam (peace be upon Him), to become Ahamad within us, which is our purified heart, which is Adam (peace be upon Him) having recovered from His fall, which is the 8th heaven within us, which is firdaus within us, which is what the Causal Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us builds, and enters within us, and then lives within us.
Until the journey of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on Mi'raj within us, transcending the final veil within us, joining as One with God within us, seeing Himself within the Mirror of God within us, as a 16 year old youth with a downy mustache, and speaking to God within us, which is our body full of grace within us, causing the heart of purity to rise within us, and the arsh or throne of God on the top of our head to melt within us, meeting at the forehead, permanently opening the eye of wisdom within us, which originally was the Nur Muhammad that God placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, the eye of Gnanam within us.
In this way, allowing the Nur Muhammad within us to come to maturity within us, which is the soul of Muhammad within us, the seed of Iman or perfected faith within us, the seed of True Man within us, in this way, revealing the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the understanding of the Nur Muhammad within us, in this way, revealing Allah Muhammad within us, which is the soul of True Man within us, the seed of Islam within us, the seed of God within us, with the sukun (the circle on the top of the Arabic letter mim) appearing in Allah Muhammad, when the alif become the pillar of the sukun (circle) of the mim within us.
In this way, allowing the Qutb of God within us to "set the light to the inner heart" within us, closing the 7 openings above within us, revealing the 1 within the 3 within us, revealing Allah Muhammad within us.
And the 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual energies within us, which are our thoughts on the "outside" of us, that make up all of "our problems" on the "outside" of us, which are only seen "outside" of us through our current state or life of ignorance within us, through our "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, through our arrogance, karma, and illusion, through our desire for earth, women, and gold, that are experienced on the "outside" of us, but can be seen within us through our wisdom, can be seen within us through our wisdom as the evil actions of kalam (time) that leads us to kalan, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him), that leads us, day by day, moment by moment, to the suffering of the grave within us, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, and to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us.
Because in truth this is where everything really is, where everything really originates, within us not "outside" of us, and this is where everything can be truly seen, through our wisdom within us, where everything can be truly seen for what it really is, and then changed, if we like, if that be our true intention, before we die, because after we die there is no changing anything, only harvesting the crop we have grown, only moving into the house we have build for eternity.
Because this is where everything can be truly solved, truly resolved, within us not "outside" of us, this is where everything can be truly change, solved, and resolved, within us not "outside" of us, through the direct intervention of God within us, through the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us. Amen.
Because this is where God is, within us not "outside" of us, and this is where all of the "Stuff of God" is, within us not "outside" of us, and this is where the direct intervention of God in our life can occur, within us not "outside" of us, this is where everything can be truly transformed by God within us, from what He has discarded to what He embraces, and in this way, and only in this way, this is where everything can be truly changed, truly solved, within us not "outside" of us, by God within our wisdom within us.
When we truly join in partnership with God within our wisdom within us, which for this age is Bawa within us, and God within Him, when we truly join with God within our wisdom within us to complete what God is doing within us, what God is doing within each of us, which is God revealing God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, not what "we" or anyone else might think, in our live of "separation and differences", in our arrogance, karma, and illusion, in our desire for earth, women, and gold, that "we" or they are doing "outside" of us, for the benefit of "us" or them "outside" of us.
For when we truly join in partnership with God within our wisdom within us, to finish what God has already started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, then God joins with our life within us, which is the Creation of God within us, to bring it to completion within us, finding wisdom within His completion, finding truth within His wisdom, finding God as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within His truth, within His wisdom, within His completeness, within His grace within us.
And in this way, His wisdom within us liberates our soul within us from the cross of our elemental body within us, to finish the life of God within us, the light of God within us, which God placed within us as our soul, as the light of men within us, within His Truth within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us.
in this way, revealing True Man within God within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, allowing True Man within us to finish what God has already started within us, that God started within each of us a very, very long time ago, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, revealing True Man within us as the "Oneness of God and His Creation (in the dunya)" within us, so True Man can then reveal God within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation (in akhirah)" within us, and in this way revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen.
Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
02. Walking The Path To Solving "Us" And Our Problems - is walking within us through our Iman and wisdom, not walking "outside" of us through our mind and desire, is doing what Bawa teaches us to do in the "Kalimah Song", that is,
"Finding complete conviction, enter within, and say the Kalimah, Ill Allahu."
And any of us living in this age can do this, because God has made it so for this age, so any of us can do this, once we truly realize, understand, accept, and join with this "truth of us" within us and with this "truth of God" within God within us, that naturally emerges from within us, when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, the "truth of God" within God within us, which is "God happening" within God within us, and the "truth of us" within us, which is "True Man happening" within us, within the Creation of God within us, a truth that comes to us, from within us, which comes to us like our own life speaking to us. For example, like this child is both hearing it and sharing it with his dearest loving brother and sisters, right now.
For once we truly realize, understand, accept and join with this truth within us, without the slightest doubt within us, which is our Iman within us, which is our absolute, complete, and unshakable faith, certitude, and determination that "God alone exists", which is our complete acceptance of the heart that "God is One", once we do this, once we truly let it happen within us, by truly believing that it happening within us is our true birth right, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, is what should happen within us, rather than what is currently happening within us, then the life of God within us will start to move forward within us, which is the light of God within us, the light of men within us, which is our soul within us, which when liberated from the cross of our elemental body by our wisdom is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, is our soul joined with our wisdom within us, is the 6th level of life within us, is the house of wisdom within us, the palace of the soul within us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us.
Which when complete within us, having come to completion within us, within the Creation of God within us, finding wisdom within that completeness, is Adam (peace be upon Him) having recovered from the fall of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Him) within us, which is the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the understanding of the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within us, within the Nur Muhammad within us which is the soul of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, which is the seed of Islam, the seed of True Man within us, in this way, permanently opening the Eye of Wisdom on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, allowing the Nur Muhammad to come to an understanding of "who He is?", and "who He is, is what is within Him", and what is within Him is Allah Muhammad, which is the soul of True Man, the seed of Islam, the seed of Allah. Amen
And when all of this, this journey of God back into God within us, this journey of True Man back into True Man within us, which is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul within us, starts to move forward again within us, then time will stop within us, time will stop both within and "outside' of us, the same time which started up within us, that started up both within and "outside" of us, when this true life of God within us, this journey of the life of God within us, stopped moving forward within us.
Causing our false life to start both within and "outside" of us, within the context of the dream or the illusion of time, while our true life stops within us, becoming the "host" for our false life, in this way, with our soul dying on the cross of our elemental body so we can sin, crucified on our elemental body with the 5 nails of "desire to live here", so we can sin, so we can live a temporary life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, because we did not understand "who we are", we did not understand who we "already are", and in our ignorance we fell victim to the illusion of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as "who we are".
03. Submitting To The Life And Teaching of The True Shaikh - Now For Our Age
And such is our state, living on the "outside' of us, until we "see and hear God" on the "outside" of us, until we submit to the life and teaching of the true Shaikh or teacher for our age, on the "outside" of us, in this way, awakening the wisdom surrounding our soul within us, allowing the wisdom surrounding our soul to do battle with the enemy of our soul, which is "us" living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us.
Until as Jesus (peace be upon Him) said to His disciples, in Chapter 05, in the "Gospel of John", in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, verse 28,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him
that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."And for this age, this is hearing the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, and believing on Him that sent Him. May we all know this now, my dearest loving brother and sisters, and start to act accordingly. Amen.
And all of this starts quite naturally within us, when we realize, understand, accept, and join with God within us, to allow 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, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation", and having accepted and joined with this truth of us within us, and this truth of God within God within us we "let it happen within us".
For Bawa teaches us on page 11, at the beginning of the "Invocation To The Guru", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom",
"To let grace spring forth,
To let darkness vanish,To let the love of Guru grow,To let qualities be purified,O graceful Guru, give us a remedy,Show us a way to dispel the darkness in the world"
In this way, this "inside" solution to both "us" and our "outside" problems can be found and implemented by each one of us, because that is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, when we start to use God within us, to get to God within us, when we start to use God within our wisdom within us to solve "us" and our problems "outside" of us, rather than trying to use "us" on the "outside" us, which is "separate from" God within us, rather than using the "world" we see "outside" of us, to try to get to God within us, and to try to solve "us" and our problems "outside" of us.
In this way, when we start to do what Bawa repeatedly told us to do, before He left the world, in order to truly solve "us" and our problems "outside" of us, and to reach God within us, which is really the same problem, which is,
"Stop working for wages to get into heaven,
and instead join in partnership with
God within you. Amen".In this way, everything in our life will start to change, both within us and "outside" of us, and our life will start to become successful, both in our worldly life, and in our relationship with God within us, when we truly start to use Bawa within us, and God within Him, in order to reach God within us, and in order to solve "us" and all of our problems "outside" of us, as Bawa has repeatedly told us to do, rather than trying to continue to use "us" on the outside of us, and the "world" on the outside of us, to reach God within us and to solve "us" and our problems "outside" of us, as our parents, our teaches, our family, and our friends, have repeatedly taught us to do.
04. Making Straight - The Way of The Lord Within Us
Then we will truly be on the Straight Path of God within us, the way of the Lord within us.
For as "John the Baptist" said to the representatives of the Jews, who had come to confront him, as told to us in the First Chapter, which we have given the title, "The Promise", of the "Gospel of John", from the Holy Bible (John:1,19-23), when they asked John (peace be upon Him), "Who art thou?,
"He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord"
And the "Straight Path of God" within us, the "Way of the Lord" within us, is "God happening" within us, is us lining up "us" within God within us, is "us' lining up our life with God within our wisdom within us, and with what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is "God happening" again, but this time within us. Amen.
In this way, when we truly start to do this "Heart's Work", as His Holiness calls it, by establishing a direct relationship with our inside, with our wisdom within us and with God within our wisdom, which for our age, is with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, then time will stop "outside" of us, and our true life, the life of God within us, the light of God within us, which is the light of men within us, which is the life of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us.
Which is our soul joined with our wisdom within us, and the life of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) which is the light of our wisdom, which is our soul joined with our wisdom and with the light of our wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad within us, the soul of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, which is the seed of Iman within us, the seed of True Man within us, which will start to again move forward within us, from the spot it was at within us, on its journey within us, when time started to move both within and "outside" of us, when we started to live a life of "separation and differences" in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, and our true life, the life of God within us, the light of God within us, the light of men within us, the life and light of our soul within us, the journey of our soul back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, stopped within us. Amen.
And in this way, if we join with the gift of God for our age, if we accept and join with the life and teaching of God for our age, both within and "outside" of us, which for this child is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, making "us" as "separate from" God, and all the problems of "us" living on our "outside" the true property of our inside, the true property of "Them" within us, of God within our wisdom within us, which for this age, is Bawa within us and God within Him.
As now, with all of the "outside" of us the property of the "inside" of us, the property of "Them" within us, of God within our wisdom within us, then the "outside" of us can be solved, by Them within us, by Bawa within us and of God within Him, with "us" and all that we are on the "outside" of us coming to an end on the "outside" of us, with time stopping on both the "inside' and the "outside" of us, and in the process with "us" and all that we truly are within us, which is God within us, the "Stuff of God" within us, and all that God is doing within us, starting to move forward again on the "inside" of us, that is, starting to be revealed on the "inside" of us, and reflected on the "outside" of us, as the "form of God" both within and "outside" of us, which is are the "qualities and actions" of God.
In this way, revealing all that we are on the "inside" of us, which is what was hidden by God within this "inside" of us, which is all that we were as reflected in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, even before we became the "outside" of us, even before time started on both the inside and the "outside" of us, and the movement of our true life, the life of our soul, the journey of our soul back to God within us, stopped within us, stopping at least temporarily within us, stopping the journey of our soul on the "inside" of us, until through our wisdom within us we come to understand who we "already are".
And having realized this, through the contrast of our "true inside" and our "false inside and outside", we again join in partnership with God within us, to complete what God is doing within us, if that is our true choice, but this time for eternity, but this time through the contrast of our "inside" and our "outside", understanding what that truly means, and in this way, through this understanding, preventing the journey within us back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us from ever stopping again. Amen.
And this journey from our "outside" to our "inside" is like the journey of the apple seed revealing the apple tree hidden within it, where the apple seed buried in the earth, having realized, understood, accepted, and joined with the truth of itself, that naturally emerges from within us, when it is ready to both hear it, and either accept or reject it, and having accepts it, germinates, ending its life in the earth on the "outside" of it, beginning the life hidden within it, revealing the apple tree hidden within it, the apple tree that then grows in the earth and joins with the 5 elements, with the earth, water, fire, air, and either, to reveal the apple fruits, which then again contains the apple seeds, bringing the cycle of the Apple-AppleTree/AppleTree-Apple both to an end, and to a new beginning.
In this way, the solution to "us" on the "outside" of us, and to all of our problem "outside" of us, as well as the solution to everyone and to everything, the solution to their state of incompleteness, which in truth is the only real problem for any of us, is God, the solution is God within us, is the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, that naturally flows from the "Power of God" within us, when we "turn to God" within us, when we place our faith and our trust in God within us.
And in this way, when we submit our false "outside" to our true "inside", when we surrender to the will of God within us, and give up "our will" on the "outside" of us, and we surrender to what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and give up what we think in our ignorance "we" are doing on the "outside" of us, in this way, handing all of our "outside" to this true "inside" of us all, to God within our wisdom within us, which is our age is Bawa within us, and God within Him, and to do this each day, each hour, each moment, of the rest of our life, always saying the word "Bawa" before we "say or do" anything, in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything. Amen.
05. Learning How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There - while both you and God still can
For as Bawa repeatedly teaches us,
"If you are there God is not there,
and if God is there you are not there"
And as said again, with a little help from this child, as provided in brackets,
If you are there (as "separate from" God), God is not there,
and if God is there
(with us having become "One with" God), you are not there (as "separate from"God).
In this way, it is within the completeness of God within us, within the perfection of God within us, within the Oneness of God within us, that is God within us, and all of the "Stuff of God" within us, where "us" and all of "our" problems on the "outside" of us, belong. Because only then can "we" and "our" problems, both within and "outside" of us be solved, be brought to completion, only then can our life truly become victorious, can our wisdom reason over our fate, before it is too late, before we die, and we have to "pay the piper", we have to bear the consequences of our failure to become "One with" God before we died, which ultimately becomes an eternal life of "separation from" God.
In this way, we must get God to cure Himself of "our" illnesses, which in truth, from His perspective, are "His" illness, since He sees us all as "One", as the "One" of Him, that in truth is" Him happening" within Him within us. In this way, we must God to do it again, to happen again, to again become God, but this time within us.
In this way, all of us really belong to God within us, not to "us" on the "outside" of us, and "us" on the "outside" of us, is just part of "how" God reveals Himself to Himself within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is like how a wheat seed is planted in the earth, becomes a wheat plant, and then is harvested, with the seed of the wheat plant being the wheat seed, and the harvest of the wheat plant being the wheat seed, only multiplied a 1000 times. In this way, from 1 wheat seed we get 1000 wheat seeds through the vehicle of the wheat plant, which is discarded when the wheat seeds are harvested.
Like this, the seed of us "is God", is the "seed of God", and the harvest of us "is God", is the "seed of God", only multiplied a 1000 times, which Bawa calls the 1000 generosities of God, which bring the 4 elements, the 4 religions to completion within us, with 300 generosities going to the religion of Hinduism, 300 going to the religion of Fire Worship, or Zoroastrianism, with 300 going to the religion of Christianity, and with 99 going to the religion of Islam, with God keeping the 1 remaining within Himself.
And our true life within us is the plant of God within us, which is discarded when the "seeds of God" are harvested by God within us. But if we refuse to be harvested by God, if we refuse to join with the Farmer of God, which is our wisdom, and God within Him, which for our age is Bawa within us, and God within Him, if we refuse to allow Them to plant and harvest the crop of God within us, in our prime, before we die, which is us voluntarily and willing allowing Them to end "us" living as "separate from" God on both the inside and the "outside" of us, and allowing Them to both grow and harvest the "Seeds of God's grace, wisdom and 'ilm or divine knowledge" within us.
In this way, if we refuse to "die before death", if we refuse to give up our life on the "outside" of us before our time on the "outside" is up, before the agreement for our food and water is up, before this agreement on the "outside" of us is completed, before we physically die, if we refuse to allow Them within us to both plant and harvest the "seeds of God" within us, if we refuse to accept and join with the truth that naturally emerges within us, about the "truth of us" within us, that we are the "seed of True Man" within u s, and the truth of God within God within us, that "God is happening" within God within us.
If we refuse these truths within us, when they emerge from within us, when they speak to us as our "own life speaking" to us, if we do this, if we repeatedly make this choice, to reject a life of "Oneness with" God within us, and choose to continue to live a life of "separation from" God on the "outside of us, if we do this, if we make this wrong choice, if we use what God has loving given us in this way, then when we physically die, our fate is sealed.
Because we have not been harvested before we died by the Farmer of God for all the "seeds of God", for the 1000 generosities of God, in this way, bringing all of the lives of incompleness within us into completeness within us, but rather, after we die, we are harvested by the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, for all of the "seeds of destruction" within us, that have grown on the "plants of hell" within us, that we have grown during our life time both within and "outside" of us, and in this way, in the end, after we die, we must experience the suffering of the grave, Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and an eternal life within us of "separate from" God.
Such is our fate, and the choice is ours, not God, such is our fate, if we choose to ignore God within us, and to go down this road to hell within us, to "separation from" God within us, my dearest loving brother and sisters, to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. May we all think about this a little, as it is a very important wisdom point for both our current temporary life within us, that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, and for our eternal life within us. Amen.
In this way, we must direct all of our energy, and all of our effort, to making God within us, and to making what God is doing within us, the reality of us, in this way, shifting our focus from "outside" of us to within us, putting "us as "separate from" God, and all of our problems as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, where they rightfully belong, where they can be solved, within us, before God within us, before the power of God within us, where they can be easily and quite naturally solve, where they can be correctly dealt with, where in truth they become of great value, to God and to what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, where in truth they were allowed to occur by God, so once they are in God's hands within us, and not in our hands "outside" of us, they can be used to support and bring to completing what God is doing within us.
In this way, this is where we must now start to live, this is where everything both within us and "outside" of us must start to live, before God within us, before the grace, wisdom, and truth of God, and the power of God within us, because this is where all of "us" on the "outside" of us, and where all of the darkness hidden within us, where all of "our" problems of "separation and differences" both within and "outside" of us, truly belong, where in truth they all originated, both within us and "outside' of us, from God and from what God is doing within us, for in truth, "There is nothing other than God", for in truth, "Only God exists", for in truth, "God is One".
Originated from God within us, as the first step that God took within us in completing what God has started within us, within each of us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world or dunya, the first step in revealing Himself to Himself within us, for the benefit of all of His Creation within us, which is to first hid Himself from Himself within us, the first step which is now done in our life, with God having successfully hidden Himself from Himself within us, hidden Himself from Himself as "us" living on the "outside" of us, as us living "outside" of us as "separate from" Him within us, as "separate from" each other "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God both within and "outside" of us.
This is who in truth we currently are, on the "outside" of us, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, of the One Open Heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased within each of Us), in truth we are God in hiding within us, we are God having been successfully hidden from God within us by God within us, we are the successful hiding of God from God within us, so now God can reveal Himself to Himself, so God can now come out of hiding within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, who were placed within us by God, and made incomplete within us, along with Adam (peace be upon Him), and the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, as part of God hiding Himself from Himself within us, allowing all of this hiding to come to completion within us, to finally happen to "us" on the "outside" of us, where we are all currently living in ignorance of "who we truly are", of "where we truly are", and of "what is truly happening" in our life.
What a wonderful accomplishment of God within each of us, if we only now realize it, and join in partnership with Him, in what He has accomplished, to have so completely and successfully hidden Himself from Himself within us, to have moved Himself away from Himself in such a complete and perfect way, that everything is now set for God to take the second step in what He is doing within us, which is revealing Himself to Himself within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.
That God having finished breathing out, is now ready to breath in, that God, having Created, Nourished, and Sustained us as "separate from" Him, as His first step in revealing Himself to Himself within us, with Him gradually, day by day, moving us to a life as "separate from" Him on the "outside' of us, is now ready to Destroy "us" as "separate from" Him on the "outside" of us, and reveal "us" as "One with" Him within Him within us, as Him within Him within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.
If we will but let Him, if we will but let Him Destroy "us" as "separate from" Him on the "outside" of us, if we will but realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of us" and the "truth of Him" within us, if we will but join in partnership with God within us, if we will but join with Him within our wisdom within us, in this grand endeavor within us, if we will but join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to let Him finish what He has started within us, which is "God happening" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. If we will but do this, before we die. Amen.
My dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is our true life, our journey back to God within us, after completing our true duty here within us, which is to understand who we "already are" within us, and then return to God within us to share this understanding with God within us for eternity within us, the our true journey within us which stopped within us, about the age of 2, when our ego took hold of us, when we started to live a life of "separation and difference" on the "outside" of us, instead of a life of "Oneness and Unity" within us.
When we started to become and live like our mommy and daddy on the "outside" of us, instead of becoming and living like God within us, when our false journey started on the "outside", when our true journey stopped within us and our false journey started within us, because we did not understand what we were experiencing, we did not understand the life of "Oneness and Unity" within us, and became seduced by the life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, which is when time started on the "outside" of us.
When time started on the "outside" of us, which is, as His Holiness teaches us, but the evil actions of kalam (or time) within us that leads us to kalan, to the Angel of Death [peace be upon Him] within us, to the suffering of the grave within us, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, and to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us.
06. What We Must Do Before We Die - that is, before the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) comes to harvest the seeds of destruction that have grown within us, and spreads them over all of worlds of hell within us
In this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the One Open Heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is any of us living in this age who what to truly be the Children of God for this age, this is what we all must do, before we die, before the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) comes to harvest the seeds of destruction that have grown within us, and spreads them over all of worlds of hell within us, all of the worlds of "separation and differences" within us, we must let God Destroy us, destroy "us" as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, we must willingly and freely let our life on the "outside" of us come to an end, we must become peaceful with our own ending, on the "outside" of us, with faith and trust in God within us, that God will reveal "us" as Him within Him within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen.
Only in this way can "us" and our problem on the "outside' of us be resolved, can they be resolved within us, through the grace, wisdom, and truth of God within us, through the power of God within us.
Because we are about God within us, and about what God is doing within us, and we are not about "us" as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, or about what we think in our ignorance that "we" and our "brothers and sisters" are doing on the "outside" of us.
Because in truth "us" and our "outside" can only be truly and permanently resolved within us, through the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, through the "power of God" within us, not through our arrogance, our karma, and our illusions, on the "outside" of us, not through our desire for earth, women, and gold, on the "outside" of us, not through the evil actions of kalam (time) that lead us to kalan, the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him), to the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and to an eternal life of "separation from" God.
And this choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He choose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are alive within Him, and now, before we die, we must choose either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, and continuing to try and solve our problems "outside" of us, using "us" and the world "outside" of us, is to choose an eternal life of "separation from" God. May we all know this now, and start to act accordingly. Amen.
In this way, we will truly become victorious in our life, by strengthening our faith, certitude, and determination in God, by using God within our wisdom within us, which for this age is using Bawa within us, and God within Him, by saying the word "Bawa", establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, by doing this, instead of continuing to live as we are currently living, with our brother and sisters on the "outside" of us, instead of continuing to use "us" as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us.
07. God's Guarantee, God's Promise - now for our age
For as Bawa teaches us,
"This is God's guarantee. That if we use God within us to get to God within us, rather than continuing to use "us" outside of us to get to God within us, rather than continuing to work for wages to get into heaven within us, our life will be successful, our wisdom will reason over our fate, the qualities of our inner life will become victorious over the qualities of our lower life".
And we do this, my dearest loving brothers and sister, by making "us" and our "outside" into God's problem within us, not keeping it through our arrogance, karma, and illusion, as "our" problems "outside" of us, realizing that this shifting of our focus from "outside" of us to within us, is the true "Path of God" within us, which is the "use of God" within us.
For this is how God finishes what He has already started within us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, this dunya, realizing that this in truth is "God happening" within us, this in truth is completing "God's Intention" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us.
By willingly and freely letting "us" as "separate from" God ending "outside" of us, and willingly and freely letting "God happening" within us, which in truth is "Us" as "One with" God beginning within us, or "God happening" again, but this time within us, allowing our true life to start moving forward again within us, and allowing time "outside" of us to stop, in this way, recognizing that only God can solve the problem of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us.
Because the only true solution to all of our problems "outside" of us, which can be summarized as "us" in the state of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, with "us" living a life of "separation and differences" with our brother and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us, the only true solution to all of this, is "God living with God " within us, is "Us" as "One with" God living with God within us, which is True Man within us.
Because God is the One who Created, Nourishes, and Sustains "us" on the "outside" of us, the One who through His infinite love and compassion has brought us to our current state, as "step one" of what He is doing within us, which is revealing Himself to Himself within us for the benefit of all of His Creation within us, "step one" of a two step process, which is to first hid Himself from Himself within us, so He can then complete "step two", which is to reveal Himself to Himself within us.
And He is doing it, He is trying to finish "step one" within us, which He can only do if we let Him, if we join with Him, having realized, understood, accepted, and joined with the "truth of us", and the "truth of Him" within us, allowing the "Truth Surrender To Truth" within us. And He is doing all of this on both the inside and the "outside" of us, for His purpose within us, not for our purpose on the "outside" of us.
(Note: to read a summary of the concept of "Truth Surrendering To Truth" within us, which is a key concept in the life and teaching of God for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), a summary that has been prepared for us by one of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in this case is our dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), to access this summary, please click on the following: Spiritual Topic 03, "Truth Surrendering To Truth" (www.SpiritualTopic003.homestead). Thank you)
And the completion of God's "step one" is our current state, with "us" as "separate from" God living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us, and in this way God is doing it, God is responsible for our current state, not "us" as "separate from" God, and He is doing all of this on both the inside and the "outside" of us, for His purpose within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, not for our purpose on the "outside" of us.
My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we all must realize this truth about "us" on the "outside" of us, before it is too late, before we die, before we physically die and come to this realization about the "outside" of us in our grave, as part of the "suffering of the grave, as part of Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), when we are no longer able to benefit from this realization, no longer able to do anything about it, when all we can do is live in our current state of "separation and differences", in our current state of "separation from" God, for eternity within us.
Realizing that we have in truth separated ourselves from ourselves, that we have in truth, by the way we lived in the world, permanently separated ourselves from the "truth of us" within our wisdom within us, which is "what God is doing within us", and from the "truth of God" within God within our wisdom within us, which is "God happening" within God within us, which is God revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. May we all realize this before it is too late. Amen.
Realizing my dearest loving brothers and sister, without the slightest doubt, that God's purpose within us is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and the only thing that will solve all of our problems on the "outside" of us is for God to get His way within us, for us to give up our way "outside" of us, for us to give up our will "outside" of us, and let His will be done within us, to willingly and happily submit to His way within us, to His will within us, and to willingly and freely do it before we die, because we have realized, understood, and accepted, that God as "One with" us within us has a better way on the "inside" of us than we do as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, because He has a better way as "One with" us, than we do as "separate from" Him.
And that this is the "truth of us", of all of us, on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, and this is the "truth of God" within us as "One with" us within us, and this is the true solution of us, of all of us, and our problems, the only true solution to us and all of our problems, because in truth "only God exists", in truth "there is nothing other than God", in truth "God is One", and in truth we are "His seed", we are "Him happening" within us, within His Creation within us, like the apple seed buried within the earth is the "apple tree happening".
And as such we are "One", us and God are One, as the apple and the apple tree are one, one within the other as One, one revealing the other within it, one hiding itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again in the next cycle, the next cycle of Man-God/God-Man, as an apple seed hides itself within the apple tree that it is revealing only to be revealed again within the apple in the next cycle of AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree.
08. Learning To Affirm God, By Negating Ourselves - that is, learning to say "not" to "us" as "separate from" God as how we say "Yes" To God as "One with Us
And as Bawa teaches us,
"Can we not do at least as much as an apple tree and apple".
In this way, in truth only God can do anything, either begin or end anything, either "outside" or within us, and it is our realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with this "truth of us" within the "truth of God" within us, joining with the truth that naturally emerges from within us, when we are ready to hear and either accept or reject it, that is our life, either within us or "outside" of us.
Such is our true life, my dearest loving brothers and sister, which is having heard God within us, having realize, understood, accepted, and joined with the truth of us, which naturally emerges from within us and speaks to us, as our "own life speaking to us", which in truth is God on the inside of us, just as we all heard Bawa speaking to us on the "outside" of us, and just as we are all now hearing Bawa speak to us again, from within this child, from within the heart of our dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), my dearest loving brothers and sisters. May we all know this now, and start to act accordingly. Amen.
In truth it is all the same, if we accept that God is the life within our life. For as Abu Bakr said to the people when the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) died,
"For those who have worshipped the Prophet, the Prophet is dead,
But for those who worship God, The Prophet Lives".
And in this way, having rejected the falsehood of us, which is the "outside" of us, which is the world or our "outside" speaking to us, and having accepted the truth of us, which is the "inside" of us, which is God speaking to us from within us, which for this age, is Bawa within us, and God within Him, we become free of our "outside", becoming a slave of God within us, making our life eternal within us.
And in this way, all of the problems of our "outside" come to an end, as "we" living on our "outside" peacefully come to an end, and our "outside" and our life "outside" as "separate from" God, gradually leaves us, in the same way that the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) took the life of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him).
09. "The Three Judgments of God" - referenced in the "Spiritual Letter 027" to Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), on July 29, 2002
For as Bawa teaches us, in a beautiful discourse referenced in the Spiritual Letter, "The Three Judgments by God", written by this child, on July 29, 2002, to Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), which you can access by clicking on the following: Spiritual Letter 027: "The Three Judgments of God" (www.SpiritualLetter027. homestead.com).
A Spiritual Letter where this child, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, describes the "Three Judgments" of God, which includes the one made at the time of the death of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), which is God's judgment of the Jews living at that time, the one made at the time of the death of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), which is God's judgment of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims living at that time, and the final one made at the time of the death of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is God's judgment of all of us living in this age, and until the end of time.
And in this discourse about the death of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), which describes the second judgment of God, for the Jews, Christians, and Muslims living at that time, Bawa describes the way the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) took the life of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) at the time of His death, which was,
"Like a baby suckles milk."
And how the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) planned to take the lives of everyone else living at that time,
"Like the weight of the Himalayan Mountains bearing down on their chest."
Causing the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) to go into dua or prayer, pleading and pleading with God, right before His death, that His followers not have to endure such a horrible death, with Bawa only saying at the end of this beautiful discourse that God had accepted the dua or prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), not telling us at that time what God had agreed to do to prevent His followers from facing such a horrible death, which now includes each of us living at this time.
Whether we be Hindus, Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, or Muslims, whether we be the followers of the 124,000 Prophets that came into the world, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, that is, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world, or even now, as the followers of the path of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen.
But for this child, living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, the answer to the dua or prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), at the time of His death, that has gradually come into the heart of this child, was the coming of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), into the world in this age, and our truly "hearing His Word", and truly "believing in Him" that sent Him, which is the final judgment and salvation for all of us, until the end of time.
