Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Brief Summary of Topic "A": Here is a brief summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", of a letter which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Main Goal" of life, the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, and about the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us", and "us" making the correct choice, and "us" sowing the good crop, and "us" building the proper house, before we die to the flesh, the "Main Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego, which is "us" living on the "outside" of us 5. What Has Happened To Us? - since we came to this earth world, that we are still living "separate from" God within us, since we came to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools" within us, to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then to join in partnership with God within us to remove it, to return us to the state of "Oneness with" God within us, as Adam (peace be upon Him) was in before his fall from God's grace, but this time with an understand of our "Oneness" with God, so it will never leave us again, so we will never fall from grace again. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct this mistake in our life, before we die to the flesh, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, and in our age we can most certainly do this, we can most certainly both know and correct this mistake in our life. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) teach us about what happened to us when we came to this earth world, for example, teach us about this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward. homestead.com) to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man" 6. The Nine Openings - Of Our Body, that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "Justice of God" within us, and with God's permission 7. The "Main Goal" - Of Our Life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us 8. The "Main Obstacle" - Of Our Life, is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us 9. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" - In Our Life, has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh 10. The "Answer" - To Our Life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" - In Our Life, is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, to become "One with" God within us both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, choosing this for our eternal life, rather than choosing to continue to conduct our life with "business as usual" until we die, that is, rather than choosing to continue to live our life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, getting the same life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us for eternity 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" (continued) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 12. Our Current Way, Life, and Prayers - are Not Acceptable To God (in process) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 13. The True Nature - Of Each of Us, In This Age (in process) "Expanded Outline" - with an expanded summary of each Topic Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 70 A. Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Expanded Summary of Topic "A": Here is an expanded summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", of a letter which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, which is to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And a beautiful discourse about the "Major Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice before we die to the flesh, that is to choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us before we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us living as "One with" God within us, both now and after we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die, which is the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom" within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Major Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Major Obstacle" which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, the "major obstacle" which is our current life of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you", which is our current life of living as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God lovingly and so patiently placed within the heart of each of us, even before we were born. Even before we came here to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools, to the "School of Contrasts", in order to learn about who we "Already Are", which first is coming into the world as Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the Light of God to the world, and to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, about what "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and about what "separates us" from the Creation of God within us. Amen. 5. What Has Happened To Us? - since we came to this earth world, that we are still living "separate from" God within us, since we came to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools" within us, to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then to join in partnership with God within us to remove it, to return us to the state of "Oneness with" God within us, as Adam (peace be upon Him) was in before his fall from God's grace, but this time with an understand of our "Oneness" with God, so it will never leave us again, so we will never fall from grace again. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct this mistake in our life, before we die to the flesh, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, and in our age we can most certainly do this, we can most certainly both know and correct this mistake in our life. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us about what happened to us, teach us this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". And now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) also teach us, now from the "outside' of us, also teach us about what happened to us, teach us that upon coming to this earth world, we forgot about God within us and fell into the trap of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in this way, seeing both "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living a life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that is, as "separate from" the "Earth of God" within us, that we must first join as "One with" as the "Seed of God" within us, before we can germinate, before we can reveal what God has hidden within us, which is the "Tree of God" and its "Fruits of God", which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just as the apple seed buried within the earth must first join as "one with" the earth that holds it, before it can germinate and reveal the apple tree and its fruits. Amen 6. The Nine Openings of Our Body - that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "justice of God" within us, and with God's permission, until we "See God" and "Steady Him Within Us", and then God sets about "Curing Himself" of "us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, as He did before, in order to become God within us, but doing it this time within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, within the Creation of God within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us having recovered from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, this time becoming again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of both His fall from grace, and His "Oneness" with God within us, so it will never leave Him again, and if we like, will never leave "us" again, that is, if that be our true intention for our life, if our true intention for our life is to become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, so God can successfully 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 7. The "Main Goal" of Our Life - is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, into our current life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, into our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold, into our current life of "selfishness" as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, as "separate from" the Creation of God within us which is the "Earth of God" within us, within which God must plant the "Seed of God" within us, to grow the "Tree of God" within us, and harvest the "Fruits of God" within us, if we will only let Him, that is, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh of us, before we die to the "outside" of us, so in this way, God can complete what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, a time way before we were born into this earth world, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to answer God's question of God within us, the question, "Who am I?, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen 8. The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life - is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. The "Main Obstacle" of our life is our belief and our affirmation of our own existence as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in our ignorance we see as all occurring on the "outside" of us, starting and really ending, if we reflect on it a little with our wisdom, with our first affirmation, with the affirmation that "I exist" as "separate from" God within us, when in truth it is God, and only God who exists, who exists within us, that in truth, "There is nothing other than God" within us, "You are God" within us, and that in truth "God is One" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the "First Kalimah" of Islam, of the "Five Kalimahs" of Islam, or the First Affirmation of the Truth of Allah, of the Five Affirmations of the Truth of Allah, the "First Kalimah" of Islam which in the Arabic Language is recited by all Muslims, that is, by all those who have truly "Submitted to the will of God", recited in Arabic as "La illaha Ill Allah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah", or recited in English as, "There is nothing other than You. You are God. And Muhammad (Sal.) is the Messenger of God." 9. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life - has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh 10. The "Answer" To Our Life - is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us. For example, like these Spiritual Letters from God within us all, from this child, to the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life - is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, to become "One with" God within us both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, choosing this, rather than choosing to continue to conduct our life with "business as usual", that is, rather than choosing to continue to live our life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, getting the same life of "separation and differences" for eternity. That is, with "us" then getting the same life of "separation and differences" for eternity, if this has become our fate, if this has become what our own life tells God within us, by the way that we have lived, and by the words and actions that we have daily performed, while we were alive in the world, that is, telling God by the way we lived our life in the world that a life of "separation and differences" is truly what we want as our reward for eternity. And then, if we do that, if this becomes our fate, if our own life in the world on the "outside" of us tells this to God within us, then our reward for our current life in the world before we die to the flesh, then becomes just that after we die to the flesh, then becomes an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because this is what we have intended, while alive in the world, so this is what we then get, when we die to the flesh, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, then this is what we get, according to the justice of God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" and as "separate from" the 'truth of God" within us. In this way, if this becomes our fate, then with "us" suffering the same fate as an apple seed that fails to germinate, forever "separating itself" from the story of the "oneness of the apple tree and the apple" hidden within it, and in this way, with us then forever "separating us" from the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" hidden within us, by God within us 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life (continued) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 12. Our Current Way - of Life, and Prayers Are Not Acceptable To God (in process) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 13. The True Nature - of Each of Us, In This Age (in process) Text of Spiritual Letter: A. Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Expanded Summary of Topic A: Here is an expanded summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, which is to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And a beautiful discourse about the "Major Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice before we die to the flesh, that is to choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us before we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us living as "One with" God within us, both now and after we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die, which is the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom" within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Major Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Major Obstacle" which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, the "major obstacle" which is our current life of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you", which is our current life of living as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God lovingly and so patiently placed within the heart of each of us, even before we were born. Even before we came here to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools, to the "School of Contrasts", in order to learn about who we "Already Are", which first is coming into the world as Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the Light of God to the world, and to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, about what "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and about what "separates us" from the Creation of God within us. Amen. 05. What Has Happened To Us? Expanded Summary of Topic 05: What has happened to us, since we came to this earth world, to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools", to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct the mistake, before we die to the flesh, and in our age we most certainly can both know and correct this mistake. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us about what happened to us, teach us this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". And now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) also teach us, now from the "outside' of us, also teach us about what happened to us, teach us that upon coming to this earth world, we forgot about God within us and fell into the trap of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in this way, seeing both "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living a life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. That is, as "separate from" the "Earth of God" within us, that we must first join as "One with" as the "Seed of God" within us, before we can germinate, before we can reveal what God has hidden within us, which is the "Tree of God" and its "Fruits of God", which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just as the apple seed buried within the earth must first join as "one with" the earth that holds it, before it can germinate and reveal the apple tree and its fruits. Amen Text of Topic 05: My dearest loving brother Ellis, this is the truth and the falsehood of our life, which we must come to understand before we die to the flesh, if our life is to become successful in our own lifetime, if we are to come to understand through contrast who in truth we "Already Are". This is certain. If we are to come to understand who in truth we "Already Are", through the contrast of heaven and hell within us, which is the wealth of the world of souls or awwul within us, which is where we all were before coming here, and through the contrast of good and evil within us, which is the wealth of this earth world, this dunya within us that we have now come to, this dunya or earth world which is really within us, but that we now see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. And through the contrast of wisdom and fate within us, and the contrast of the qualities of God and the qualities of the Creation of God within us, which is the wealth of the next world within us, that is, is the wealth of the hereafter or akhirah within us, which is where we will all go when we finally die to the flesh, when we finally die to the "outside" of us, which is where we will all be given either an eternal life as "One with" God within us within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are now alive on the "outside" of us, to choose, to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and we make that choice here, within the context of our current life on the "outside" of us, and in truth "what we do", not "what we say", will tell God our choice, for a man is known by his actions, not just by his words alone. Amen. For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now His Children (may God be pleased whith each of Us) on the "outside" of us, teach us, in the beautiful book of wiesdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". In this way, my dearest loving brother Ellis, we forgotten God within us, we have forgotten the true nature of God within us, which is "Oneness", and we have fallen into many a trap, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and fail to go in search of our true self, which True Man, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which can only be found within God within us, after we become "One with" God within us, after we join in partnership with God within us to complete what God has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, by first revealing True Man to True Man within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, or at least join in partnership with God within us to start this story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and in this way, become truly successful in our lifetime, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. In this way, the first 4 Spiritual Letters, from God within us all, that is, Spiritual Letters 66, 67, 68, and 69, that we have shared over the last month, at least within the heart of this child, have focused us on "Our Choice", and this fifth and last Spiritual Letter which we are now sharing, focuses "us" on both, on both the "Main Goal" of our life, which is to become again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of this "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and on the "Main Obstacle" of our life, which is standing in our way to our reaching this goal, which is our ego. Which is our own existence as "separate from" the existence of God within us, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in ignorance of God within us, and in ignorance of what we have allowed to grow within us. 06. The Nine Openings of Our Body - that now rule over us Expanded Summary of Topic 06: "The Nine Openings of Our Body" that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "justice of God" within us, and with God's permission, until we "See God" and "Steady Him Within Us", and then God sets about "Curing Himself" of "us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, as He did before, in order to become God within us, but doing it this time within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, within the Creation of God within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us. Within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us having recovered from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, this time becoming again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of both His fall from grace, and His "Oneness" with God within us, so it will never leave Him again, and if we like, will never leave "us" again, that is, if that be our true intention for our life, if our true intention for our life is to become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, so God can successfully 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 brother Ellis, in ignorance we have allowed lives of darkness, of hell, and of evil to grow within us, which in their maturity have now become the 9 openings of our own body which now rule over "us", with God's permission, rule over "us" as "separate from" God within us, until we "See God and steady Him" within us. That rule over "us" as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, the Creation of God that God has lovingly and ever so patiently placed within each of us, as "His Earth", within which He will plant the "Seed of God" within us, and grow the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the "Fruit of God" within us, when we have proven to God within us, by our actions and not just by our words, that "we can be cured", that God can "Cure Himself of us" within us, after He "accepts us", after we have "seen Him and steadied Him within us", because in truth "we do not want" anything that God has discarded, to become "God within us. And what God has discarded to become God within us, which He must do again within us, if we are to be cured, because the "cure of us is God" within us, what God has discarded to become God within us is everything we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. 07. The "Main Goal" of Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 07: The "Main Goal" of Our Life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Into our current life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, into our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold, into our current life of "selfishness" as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, as "separate from" the Creation of God within us which is the "Earth of God" within us, within which God must plant the "Seed of God" within us, to grow the "Tree of God" within us, and harvest the "Fruits of God" within us, if we will only let Him. That is, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh of us, before we die to the "outside" of us, so in this way, God can complete what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, a time way before we were born into this earth world, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to answer God's question of God within us, the question, "Who am I?, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Text of Topic 07: Such is the "Main Goal" of our life, my dearest loving brother Ellis, which we must accomplish, or at least truly begin to accomplish in partnership with God within us, by realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with, by becoming "One with", the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, like this letter. Such is the "Main Goal" of our life, my dearest loving brother Ellis, which is making straight the "Path of God" within us, the "Way of the Lord" within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. Amen. 08. The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 08: The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. The "Main Obstacle" of our life is our belief and our affirmation of our own existence as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in our ignorance we see as all occurring on the "outside" of us, starting and really ending, if we reflect on it a little with our wisdom, with the first of our affirmations, the affirmation that "I exist" as "separate from" God within us, when in truth it is God, and only God who exists, who exists within us, that in truth, "There is nothing other than God" within us, "You are God" within us, and that in truth "God is One" within us. Which in the Islamic tradition is called the "First Kalimah" of Islam, of the "Five Kalimahs" of Islam, or the First Affirmation of the Truth of Allah, of the Five Affirmations of the Truth of Allah, the "First Kalimah" of Islam which in the Arabic language is recited by all Muslims, that is, by all those who have truly "Submitted to the will of God", recited in Arabic as "La illaha Ill Allah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah", or recited in English as, "There is nothing other than You. You are God. And Muhammad (Sal.) is the Messenger of God." Text of Topic 08: And such is the "Main Obstacle" of our life preventing that, my dearest loving brother Ellis, preventing us from reaching this goal, which is our ego, the main obstacle between "us" and "us" becoming "One with" God within us, the main obstacle which is "us" living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, the main obstacle between "us" and "us" realizing and making the correct choice in our lifetime, the choice of "Oneness with" God within us, for eternity, and truly making this choice before we physically die to the "outside" of us. And another facet of the "Main Obstacle" of our true life as "One with" God within us is our current beliefs and practices, that our current beliefs and practices are already Ok, that what we currently understand about "us" and God, and what we are currently doing in relationship to God, that is, our duty to God, is just fine, that we already correctly believe in God, and correctly pray to Him, love Him, trust in Him, and do duty for Him. So what else is needed?. 09. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 09: The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh Text of Topic 09: And my dearest loving brother Ellis, as noted earlier in this letter, but which needs repeating, over and over again, as it is the very heart of our sharing, and the main trap that we have all fallen into, the first 4 Spiritual Letters, that is, Spiritual Letter 66, 67, 68, and 68, also focuses us on the "subtle sin" that we have all fallen into, as members in all of the religions of the world, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as another facet of the "Main Obstacle" to our "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Sin of Righteousness" that Jesus (peace be upon Him) Himself warned us about over 2000 years ago. That Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago was the one thing that He wanted to tell us about, before He died, but couldn't because at that time, we "could not bear to hear it", but that later, after He physically left us, He would send us the "Comforter", the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth", who would come to us in our greatest hour of need, which is now, and would teach us about this most subtle of all sins, the very sin that in our ignorance we have all fallen in to, in many cases without even knowing it, about this "Sin of Righteousness", and reprove or gently remove it from us, if we will only accept Him, as truly coming from Jesus (peace be upon Him), and then let Him correct us, when Jesus (peace be upon Him) later sends Him to us, sends the "Comforter", the "Spirit of Truth" to us. Which is what is happening now, my dearest loving brother Ellis, in our age, which in truth is the life and teaching 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 in truth is the reason for this letter to my dearest loving brother Ellis, and to all of the Children of God for this age. Amen. 10. The "Answer" To Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 10: The "Answer" To Our Life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us. For example, like these Spiritual Letters from God within us all, from this child, to the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen Text of Topic 10: So in summary, my dearest loving brother Ellis, the first four Spiritual Letters, from God within us all, focus us on, "Our Choice", describing the only true choice in our life, the only thing truly left in our life after we cut away the drama of our life on the "outside" of us, the choice that we all must make in this age, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, realizing that a "no choice" in our lifetime is still a choice, a choice that is then made for us, by God within us, a choice we will most certainly live to regret, if God has to make it for us after we die. And in this way, a choice which when truly understood with our wisdom immediately answers all of the most serious questions of our life, questions like "What is the purpose of my life?, and "Who am I", "Where am I", and "What is truly happening in my life?" And the answer to our life is, that we must again become "One", but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", we must again become "One with" God within us, and "One with" all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, and we must do this because God is "One" within us, and God is "One with" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and because in truth we are "Of God", and "Of what God is doing within us", we are not of the Creation of God within us, or of the elemental spirits that have grown within us in our ignorance, which we have in our ignorance become "one with". This is the answer to our life, we must again becoming "One with" God within us, and "One 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, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. And we must do all of this before we die to the "outside" of us, or at least truly begin it in partnership with God within us, as "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, because after we physically die to the "outside" of us the opportunity to do this is over, the opportunity to become again "One", with an understanding of our "Oneness", the opportunity to become again "One with" God within us, and again "One with" what God is doing within us, is gone, because that is the way God set it up, that is the reason for the "outside" of us, that is why we are now alive living in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, to correctly make the choice, the choice between living as "One with" God within us, and living as "separation from" God on the "outside" of us, and to make this choice while we still can, before we die to the flesh and God has to make this choice for us. May God help all of us realize this "truth of our life", that in truth we are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, we are "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within us, and the truth of God within us, that in truth God within us, as the "Tree of God" within us, is the "Seed of God's Fruits" within us, is the "Seed of True Man" within us, is "True Man happening" within the "Tree of God" within the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, without the slightest doubt, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, all of which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 11: The "Nature of True Prayer In Our Life" is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, the choice to become either "One with" God within us or to become "separate from" God within us, for both now before we die to the flesh, and for late, for eternity, after we die to the flesh. And the correct choice is "Oneness with" God within us, both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, in this way, with "us" choosing this correct choice rather than choosing the wrong choice. And the wrong choice is "separation from" God within us, both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, in this way, with "us" choosing this wrong choice rather than choosing the correct choice. And in this way, the wrong choice is "us" continuing to conduct our life in the world with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, is "us" choosing to continue to live our life as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, if we have made the wrong choice, then with "us" getting the same life of "separation and differences", the same temporary life of sin that we are currently living on the "outside" of us, but this time for eternity. And then this wrong choice becomes our fate, becomes our choice for eternity, because that is what "we" have decide for "us", not what God has decided for "us", that is, such becomes our fate, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, if we do that, that is, if "we" make this wrong choice for our life our eternal life, by the way that we live and act on the "outside" of us. And if we continue make this wrong choice for our life, until we die to the flesh, then this becomes our eternal life in the hereafter, in akhirah, in the next world within us, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" within us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as "separate from" from the "Truth of God" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us. This most certainly will become our fate if we continue to make this wrong choice while we are still alive and living in the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, in the world that in truth is within us, not "outside" of us, a world within us that in truth is a world of darkness and evil that in our ignorance we have allowed to grown within us, like weeds growing in a flower garden, eventually if not regularly pulled out destroying the original flower garden, world of "separation and differences, a world of sin, a world of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a world of mind and desire, a world of desire for earth, women, and gold, that now in maturity rules over us as our 9 openings, with God's permission, until we see God and steady Him within us. In this way, if we keep telling this to God within us, that we are "separate from "God, that we are "separate from" each other, and that we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and that we love and trust in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, if we keep telling this to God within us over and over again, with our every look, thought, word, action, and intention, no matter what God shows us to the opposite, that in truth God and Man are "One", if we keep telling this to God within us, until we die to the flesh, then what is God to do? If we keep telling this to God within us, by the way that we live and act on the "outside" of us, if we keep telling this to God within us, that this wrong choice is really what we truly want, no matter what our words or preaching may be saying on the "outside" of us, then that is what we will get for eternity, with this becoming our fate for eternity within us in accordance with the "Justice of God" within us, for God within us teaches us in this age, that "whatever we intend is what we will get". Amen. That is, if our own life in the world on the "outside" of us is telling this to God within us, over and over again, is telling God within us that we want to continue to live "separate from" God within us, that we do not want to become "One with" God within us, either now before we die to the flesh, or later after we die to the flesh, that we do not want to give up our current life of "separation and difference", our current life of sin on the "outside" of us, either now or later, that we do not want to give up our current life 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, that this is our choice, that this wrong choice is our choice for both now and later, then what is God to do? And in this way, if we do this with our life on the "outside" of us, if we make this wrong choice on the "outside" of us, and choose "separation from" God within us as our life choice for both now and eternity, rather than choosing "Oneness with" God within us as our life choice for both now and eternity, telling this choice to God over and over again by the way that we live and act in the world on the "outside" of us, then what is God to do?. Then what is God to do? But to give us what we want, but to give each of us what we told God within us, over and over again, what we want, while living on the "outside" of us. For our reward for our current life in the world on the "outside", as we lived it before we died to the flesh, then becomes just that, after we die to the flesh, then becomes an eternal life as we lived it on the "outside" of us, then becomes either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because this is what we have intended, because this is what we have told God within us that we wanted, because this is the crop that we have sown, this is the house that we have built, according to the way that we have acted while living on the "outside" of us, because this is what we have done with what God gave to each of us in the beginning, because this is what we have done with the wealth that God originally gave us. Amen. This is the "Justice of God" within our life, this is our judgment and our salvation within us, that is, our reward in the next world is determined by our life in this world, is determined by our actions in this world, not just our words, a world which for most of us is the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, unless we join with God within us to become wise before we die to the flesh, and begin to journey within ourselves as truly "One with" God within us. Amen. In this way, what we get next is determined by what we do now, that is, by the way that we have lived our short temporary life on the "outside" of us, by what we have loved and trusted, by what we have placed our faith and trust in, while alive and living in the world on the "outside" of us, so then this is what we then get for eternity, when we die to the flesh, either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, then this is what we get, according to the justice of God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" and as "separate from" the 'truth of God" within us. In this way, if the wrong choice becomes our fate, that is, if an eternal life as "separate from" God within us becomes our fate, then we will have suffered the same fate as an apple seed that fails to germinate, forever "separating itself" from the story of the "oneness of the apple tree and the apple" hidden within it, that it came to the earth, to join as "one with" the earth, to tell. And in this way, if this becomes our fate, if we continue to make the wrong choice, if we continue to live as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, that is, if we too fail to germinate, which in our case is to germinate the "Seed of God" within us, then like the apple seed that fails to germinate, we too will be forever "separating us" from the story hidden within us, which in our case is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that we have come to the "Earth of God", which is the "Creation of God" within us, to join as "One with" the "Earth of God" within us, with the "Creation of God" within us, to tell. My God help us all. May we not show God within us a life in the world on the "outside" of us that makes an eternal life as "separation from" God within us our fate, but rather may we show God within us a life in the world on the "outside" of us that does not make this our fate, that instead makes our fate an eternal life as "One with" God within us. And before we die to the flesh may we realize this truth of our life and this truth of God within us, without the slightest doubt, that in truth "we" are the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as such in truth we are "God Happening" within the Creation of God us, as an apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "apple tree happening", and that in truth God within us is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the "Creation of God" within us, and as such God within us in truth is "True Man Happening" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God within us, as the apple tree hidden within an apple seed that is buried within the earth is in truth the "apple fruits happening" within the "apple tree happening" within the earth. And may we realize, also without the slightest doubt, that this life choice that each of us have came here to make is our choice to make, not God's choice to make, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "One with" us, and that is why we are now alive in the world on the "outside" of us, to now make our choice, so God can either finish or permanently stop 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. And this choice is ours, not God's, this choice is ours, to germinate or not before we die to the flesh, this choice is our, to either join in partnership with God within us, and stop working for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, in order to allow "Us", in order to allow God within us, as "One with" us within Him, and to allow "us" as "One with" God within us, to reveal what God has hidden within us, which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and within God within us, before we die to the flesh, all of which is the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, in this way, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within us. Amen. Or to not do any of this, that is, to not join in partnership with God within us, but rather to continue to act on the "outside" of us as if we "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and to continue working for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, continuing to live this way until die to the flesh. And then, if we have made the correct choice with our life, if we have truly decided to "use God" to get to God within us, to become "One with" God within us, in this way, having joined in partnership with God within us, in order to make the correct choice within us, then join with God within us in order to reveal the result of this correct choice within us, and to do all of this before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or at least to truly join with God within us to again start our life moving in that direction, in the direction of what God has intended for our life, in the direction of what God is doing within us, in the direction of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, in the direction of telling this story within us, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. For then God will do everything else, for then God will complete it, for then God will complete what He has started within us, within each of us, a very, very long time ago, for then God will reveal God to God within us, for then God will answer the question God asked of God within us, in anathi or the time darkness or "lack of understanding" within us, the question "Who am I?" within us, for the benefit of all the Creation of God within us. This is God's Guarantee for our age. Amen. Text of Topic 11: And in truth, my dearest loving brother Ellis, this is our "True Prayer" to God in our lifetime, this correct choice is our "True Prayer" to God within us, this choosing God as "One with" us over "us" as "separate from" God within us, is our only true life and our only true prayer, the only true prayer to God we can do, and the only true life that we can live, as "One with" God within us, the prayer and the life of "Oneness", the prayer and the life of the "Oneness" of "us and God within us. Not what we are currently doing in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, in the dream of us, in the drama of us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. Amen. Not what we currently call prayer to God, not what we currently call our life on the "outside" of us, which are all prayers and a life of "separation and differences", prayers and a life that say to God, that "I am a Christian and you are a Muslim", or that "I am a Muslim and you are a Jew", or that "I am a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Jew, and you are a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian (Fire Worship)", or any of the other subdivisions of prayer or life that "we" have made up, not that God has made up, that we have made up in our ignorance, in our arrogance, karma, and illusion, to please our mind and desire, but certainly not to please God within us who has none of this, none of this "separation and differences" within Him. Amen. No this type of worship or prayer, this type of life, is not acceptable to God within us, especially in our age, when God has given each of us everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, that is necessary for "us", for each of "us", to transcend these thoughts and prayers and life of "separation and differences", thoughts and prayers and a life that are not really worshipping God at all within us, who in truth is "One with" everyone and everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, but rather prayers and a life that are really worshipping "ourselves" on the "outside" of us, that are really only worshipping "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. This is our flaw, our only true flaw, which is what we have become, not what we are doing, and this is our current prayer and life, this is our flaw, which is what we have become, which are our current prayers of "separation and differences", our current life of "separation and differences", our current life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us. A flaw, a prayer, and a life that Jesus (peace be upon Him) started to warn us about, started to explain to us about over 2000 years ago, when He told us in the "Gospel of John", not to "worship ourselves" by forming into groups, calling us "this or that" group, as separate from other groups, because in truth we are all "One, we are all "The Children of God". For in truth God is "One", and so are we, and God is the "One" that we all must worship, as "One with" God within us, and "we" are the "One" who must worship God within us, as "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, and this is what we must believe about both God and about "us", this "Oneness", which in maturity within us is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. And in this way, to truly pray to God within us we must come together as "One" within us, as the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, and on the "outside" of us, if we come together to pray to God, we must come together as "One", all gathering under "One" tent to worship the "One" God, as "One Group", as the "One Religion of God", not as "separate groups", both "separate from" God within us and "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us. Only this way of worshipping God within us, as "One with" God within us, and as "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, is acceptable to God within us, not what we are all currently doing. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not My will, but the will of the Father who hath sent Me." "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true". Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 And further in the Chapter 05, in Verses 43 & 44, Jesus (peace be upon Him) teaches us, "I have come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." "How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" In this way, when we separate ourselves off into groups, and define "us" in terms of those groups, define "us" as members of this or that group, as "separate from" other groups, with a common set of beliefs and practices, "separate from" the beliefs and practices of other groups, like as a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian (Fire Worshiper), we are doing just that, we are bearing witness of ourselves, as "separate from" other Children of God, and we honoring one another as members of our designated group, as "separate from" other groups. This is wrong, and is not acceptable to God within us, for anything that we do in this context of "separation and differences" is against both God and True Man within us, is against the "Oneness" that is God within us, and is against the "Oneness" that is True Man within us, is against the "Oneness" of God within us and against the "Oneness" of "us" within God within us, is against the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, which in truth is the very essence of God's existence within us, and of our existence within God within us, of "us" within God within us. 12. Our Current Way, Life, and Prayers Are Not Acceptable To God Expanded Summary of Topic 12: - In Process. Please come back later. Thank you - Text of Topic 12: And in this way, my dearest loving brother Ellis, our current way of life, our current prayers, our current life, as well as our current learning, and our current duty is wrong, and is not acceptable to God within us, because in this context, in our current state, everything that we "say or do" is wrong, that is, with "us" living just on the "outside" us, as if we are "separate from" God within u s, which is not true, as if we are "separate from" each other, which is also not true, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which is also definitely not true, that is, with "us" not yet having shifted our focus off of "us" on the "outside" of us and onto God within us, off of our "selfishness" and onto God's selflessness, and in this way, all that we "say or do" is wrong, including our prayers and our life of "separation and differences", and our learning, and our duty of "separation and differences". May God protect us from continuing to make this mistake, from continuing to use what God has given us in this way, and instead open our heart to the truth of these words. Amen. Please forgive me my dearest loving brother Ellis if this upsets you or any of your dearest loving family or friends in any way, but it is the truth, it is the word of God within all of us for this age, for the Children of God for this age, and to be successful in our own lifetime we must accept it as such, and join with God within us to become "One with" God within us, and "One 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. Amen. And we must do all of this "Heart's Work", all of this again becoming "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or at least truly join with God within us to restart this journey up again within us, this journey of the soul within us back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, but this time with an understanding of that Oneness, so it will never leave us again, which in truth is "Who we are?, in this way answering God's question of God within us, that was asked by God of God within us, a very, very long time ago, even before there was time within us, even before kalam or time within us started leading us to Kalan, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, the question, "Who am I?" . Amen. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago, as recorded also in the "Gospel of John", also in Chapter 05, in Verses 19 to 24, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us again in our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." "For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel." "For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will." "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father which hath sent Him." "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." Amen. And each of us, my dearest loving brother Ellis, in this age, is this "Sun of God" or Light of God to the world, that Jesus (peace be upon Him) showed us an example of over 2000 years ago, if we like, if our intention is truly to become "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 For as God told us over 2000 years ago, as recorded also in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, in Verses 10 to 14, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us again in our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in His name." "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth." Amen. 13. The True Nature of Each of Us In This Age Expanded Summary of Topic 13: - In Process. Please come back later. Thank you - Text of Topic 13: Such is the true nature of each of "us", my dearest loving brother Ellis, to truly receive God within us in our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age, and in this way to receive God's power to become the "Son of God" in our age, to become the "Word" make flesh in our age, and dwell among all those living in this age, as the Sun or Light of God to the world, in our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age. Such is the true example of Jesus (peace be upon Him) for our age, to do as He did, both within us and on the "outside" of us, in our age, to make the story of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in His age, our story in this age. Amen. Such is the true nature of each of "us", my dearest loving brother Ellis, of "us within us as "One with" God within us, which is "Oneness", and the true nature of God within us, which is also "Oneness", as "One with" what we can truly become within us, in our own lifetime within us, which is True Man within God within us, which in maturity is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. With "us" within us as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which when we join as "One with" God within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, becomes the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us. And with God within us as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which after the "Seed of God" within us germinates, becomes the "Seed of the Fruit" of God within the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us, within the "Wish-fulfilling Tree" which in the Islamic tradition is called the Katpaha Virudcham, which "contains the Power of God, the light of the grace-awakened wisdom of gnanam, from which you can receive whatever you ask for, whatever you think of". With this "Seed of the Fruit" of God first appearing as the "Flower of Wisdom" on the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us, as the 6th level of wisdom within us, the wisdom of the Qutbiyyat or Power of God within us, the "wisdom beyond intellect that teaches, analyzes, and controls" everything within us, which if it is properly fertilized by the "Honeybee of God" within us, which is from the "Mountain Top" of God within us, which is the "Throne of God" on the top of our head, the place in our body that can support the weight of God, that is, fertilized by the "Primal One" within us, with the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, allowing this "Flower of Wisdom" within us to become the mature fruits on the wish fulfilling tree of God within us. And these mature fruits includes all of the religious scripts of all of the religions or paths of God that have come into the world, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world, over 200 million years ago, including everything in the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible, the teaching in the Jewish and the Christian traditions, and everything in the Holy Qur'an, the teaching in the Islamic tradition. And the One who tastes the sweet taste of these mature fruits within us, which is the taste of God within us, and then distributes these "Fruits of God" to all of the Creation of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, is True Man within God within us, who in the Islamic tradition is called Insan Kamil, or "Perfected Man". Amen. 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 brother Ellis - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Or to get an eternal life as "separate from" God within us as our eternal reward, that is, if we choose "business as usual", or if we choose not to choose, and by default let God choose for us, after we die, and in this way, continue to live as we are currently living on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, and then get that after we die, and then allow God to choose for us, after we die, based on how we have lived our life, based on how we have used what He has given us. In this way, opening ourselves up to the "Justice of God" after we die to the flesh, to the justice that "whatever we intend while living for a short time in the world on the outside of us, before we die to the flesh, is what we will then receive for eternity within us after we die to the flesh", a justice which then becomes, if we are not wise, if we have not re-established our direct connection to God within us, before we die to the flesh, then becomes after we die to the flesh, the "suffering of the grave", then becomes Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and then becomes 105 million rebirths, with us potentially ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, of feeling, and in this way, opening ourselves up to an eternal life of ""separation from" God within us after we die to the flesh. Here is another beautiful discourse from God within us, which also teaches us about the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice, standing between "us" and "us" choosing "Oneness with" God within us before we die to the flesh, standing between "us" and "us" within us as "One with" God within us for eternity, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom", within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Main Obstacle" to an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, on the "outside" of us, which is our current life on the "outside" of us of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you" that we have allowed in our ignorance to grow within us, a life that we currently see as existing on the "outside" of us but which in truth is within us, our current life on the "outside" of us with "us" living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us. In this way, a life, a body, and a world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, when in truth we are all One within us, when in truth, "us", all of "us", and God within us, and True Man within God within us, are One within us, if we will only let this "Oneness" of us happen within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, through our faith and trust in God within us, and only in God within us, and in this way, replacing the current world of "separation and differences" within us with the Kingdom of God within us, and within that with the Secret World of Allah within us, and within that with the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. In this way, replacing the earth world or dunya within us, which in truth is "God's First School" within us, the "School of Contrasts" within us, where we have come to join with our wisdom, with the true "Gift of God" for our age, to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, in this way, replacing this earth world or school or dunya within us with the next light world or school or akhirah within us, which in truth is "God's Second School" within us, the "School of Light" within us, where God personally and every so lovingly teaches us about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and with "us" joined in partnership with God within us, as "One with" God within us, and doing all of this now, doing all of this "here and now" within us, before we die to the flesh. Such is the true birthright, the true heritage of each one of living in this age, if we like. Amen. May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all.

Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Brief Summary of Topic "A": Here is a brief summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", of a letter which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Main Goal" of life, the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, and about the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us", and "us" making the correct choice, and "us" sowing the good crop, and "us" building the proper house, before we die to the flesh, the "Main Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego, which is "us" living on the "outside" of us 5. What Has Happened To Us? - since we came to this earth world, that we are still living "separate from" God within us, since we came to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools" within us, to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then to join in partnership with God within us to remove it, to return us to the state of "Oneness with" God within us, as Adam (peace be upon Him) was in before his fall from God's grace, but this time with an understand of our "Oneness" with God, so it will never leave us again, so we will never fall from grace again. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct this mistake in our life, before we die to the flesh, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, and in our age we can most certainly do this, we can most certainly both know and correct this mistake in our life. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) teach us about what happened to us when we came to this earth world, for example, teach us about this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward. homestead.com) to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man" 6. The Nine Openings - Of Our Body, that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "Justice of God" within us, and with God's permission 7. The "Main Goal" - Of Our Life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us 8. The "Main Obstacle" - Of Our Life, is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us 9. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" - In Our Life, has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh 10. The "Answer" - To Our Life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" - In Our Life, is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, to become "One with" God within us both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, choosing this for our eternal life, rather than choosing to continue to conduct our life with "business as usual" until we die, that is, rather than choosing to continue to live our life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, getting the same life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us for eternity 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" (continued) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 12. Our Current Way, Life, and Prayers - are Not Acceptable To God (in process) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 13. The True Nature - Of Each of Us, In This Age (in process) "Expanded Outline" - with an expanded summary of each Topic Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 70 A. Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Expanded Summary of Topic "A": Here is an expanded summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", of a letter which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, which is to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And a beautiful discourse about the "Major Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice before we die to the flesh, that is to choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us before we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us living as "One with" God within us, both now and after we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die, which is the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom" within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Major Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Major Obstacle" which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, the "major obstacle" which is our current life of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you", which is our current life of living as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God lovingly and so patiently placed within the heart of each of us, even before we were born. Even before we came here to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools, to the "School of Contrasts", in order to learn about who we "Already Are", which first is coming into the world as Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the Light of God to the world, and to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, about what "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and about what "separates us" from the Creation of God within us. Amen. 5. What Has Happened To Us? - since we came to this earth world, that we are still living "separate from" God within us, since we came to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools" within us, to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, and then to join in partnership with God within us to remove it, to return us to the state of "Oneness with" God within us, as Adam (peace be upon Him) was in before his fall from God's grace, but this time with an understand of our "Oneness" with God, so it will never leave us again, so we will never fall from grace again. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct this mistake in our life, before we die to the flesh, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, and in our age we can most certainly do this, we can most certainly both know and correct this mistake in our life. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us about what happened to us, teach us this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". And now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) also teach us, now from the "outside' of us, also teach us about what happened to us, teach us that upon coming to this earth world, we forgot about God within us and fell into the trap of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in this way, seeing both "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living a life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that is, as "separate from" the "Earth of God" within us, that we must first join as "One with" as the "Seed of God" within us, before we can germinate, before we can reveal what God has hidden within us, which is the "Tree of God" and its "Fruits of God", which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just as the apple seed buried within the earth must first join as "one with" the earth that holds it, before it can germinate and reveal the apple tree and its fruits. Amen 6. The Nine Openings of Our Body - that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "justice of God" within us, and with God's permission, until we "See God" and "Steady Him Within Us", and then God sets about "Curing Himself" of "us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, as He did before, in order to become God within us, but doing it this time within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, within the Creation of God within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us having recovered from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, this time becoming again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of both His fall from grace, and His "Oneness" with God within us, so it will never leave Him again, and if we like, will never leave "us" again, that is, if that be our true intention for our life, if our true intention for our life is to become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, so God can successfully 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 7. The "Main Goal" of Our Life - is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, into our current life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, into our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold, into our current life of "selfishness" as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, as "separate from" the Creation of God within us which is the "Earth of God" within us, within which God must plant the "Seed of God" within us, to grow the "Tree of God" within us, and harvest the "Fruits of God" within us, if we will only let Him, that is, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh of us, before we die to the "outside" of us, so in this way, God can complete what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, a time way before we were born into this earth world, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to answer God's question of God within us, the question, "Who am I?, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen 8. The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life - is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. The "Main Obstacle" of our life is our belief and our affirmation of our own existence as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in our ignorance we see as all occurring on the "outside" of us, starting and really ending, if we reflect on it a little with our wisdom, with our first affirmation, with the affirmation that "I exist" as "separate from" God within us, when in truth it is God, and only God who exists, who exists within us, that in truth, "There is nothing other than God" within us, "You are God" within us, and that in truth "God is One" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the "First Kalimah" of Islam, of the "Five Kalimahs" of Islam, or the First Affirmation of the Truth of Allah, of the Five Affirmations of the Truth of Allah, the "First Kalimah" of Islam which in the Arabic Language is recited by all Muslims, that is, by all those who have truly "Submitted to the will of God", recited in Arabic as "La illaha Ill Allah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah", or recited in English as, "There is nothing other than You. You are God. And Muhammad (Sal.) is the Messenger of God." 9. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life - has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh 10. The "Answer" To Our Life - is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us. For example, like these Spiritual Letters from God within us all, from this child, to the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life - is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, to become "One with" God within us both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, choosing this, rather than choosing to continue to conduct our life with "business as usual", that is, rather than choosing to continue to live our life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, getting the same life of "separation and differences" for eternity. That is, with "us" then getting the same life of "separation and differences" for eternity, if this has become our fate, if this has become what our own life tells God within us, by the way that we have lived, and by the words and actions that we have daily performed, while we were alive in the world, that is, telling God by the way we lived our life in the world that a life of "separation and differences" is truly what we want as our reward for eternity. And then, if we do that, if this becomes our fate, if our own life in the world on the "outside" of us tells this to God within us, then our reward for our current life in the world before we die to the flesh, then becomes just that after we die to the flesh, then becomes an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because this is what we have intended, while alive in the world, so this is what we then get, when we die to the flesh, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, then this is what we get, according to the justice of God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" and as "separate from" the 'truth of God" within us. In this way, if this becomes our fate, then with "us" suffering the same fate as an apple seed that fails to germinate, forever "separating itself" from the story of the "oneness of the apple tree and the apple" hidden within it, and in this way, with us then forever "separating us" from the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" hidden within us, by God within us 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life (continued) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 12. Our Current Way - of Life, and Prayers Are Not Acceptable To God (in process) Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 13. The True Nature - of Each of Us, In This Age (in process) Text of Spiritual Letter: A. Bear "Not Witness" of Ourselves - But Only of God Within Us (continued) Expanded Summary of Topic A: Here is an expanded summary of this letter, of "Spiritual Letter 70", which includes another beautiful discourse from God within us all, to all of us living in this age, coming into the heart of this child, about the "Choice" that each of us must make before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to truly become successful in our own lifetime, which is to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And a beautiful discourse about the "Major Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice before we die to the flesh, that is to choose an eternal life as "One with" God within us before we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us living as "One with" God within us, both now and after we die, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die, which is the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom" within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Major Obstacle" between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Major Obstacle" which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, the "major obstacle" which is our current life of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you", which is our current life of living as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life living as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God lovingly and so patiently placed within the heart of each of us, even before we were born. Even before we came here to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools, to the "School of Contrasts", in order to learn about who we "Already Are", which first is coming into the world as Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the Light of God to the world, and to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, about what "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and about what "separates us" from the Creation of God within us. Amen. 05. What Has Happened To Us? Expanded Summary of Topic 05: What has happened to us, since we came to this earth world, to this "School of Contrasts", to this first of "God's Schools", to learn about who we "Already Are", to learn about what "separates us" from God within us. We must know the answer to this question, and then correct the mistake, before we die to the flesh, and in our age we most certainly can both know and correct this mistake. For In our age His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us about what happened to us, teach us this in the beautiful book of Wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, for example, teach us that, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". And now His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) also teach us, now from the "outside' of us, also teach us about what happened to us, teach us that upon coming to this earth world, we forgot about God within us and fell into the trap of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in this way, seeing both "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living a life as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. That is, as "separate from" the "Earth of God" within us, that we must first join as "One with" as the "Seed of God" within us, before we can germinate, before we can reveal what God has hidden within us, which is the "Tree of God" and its "Fruits of God", which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just as the apple seed buried within the earth must first join as "one with" the earth that holds it, before it can germinate and reveal the apple tree and its fruits. Amen Text of Topic 05: My dearest loving brother Ellis, this is the truth and the falsehood of our life, which we must come to understand before we die to the flesh, if our life is to become successful in our own lifetime, if we are to come to understand through contrast who in truth we "Already Are". This is certain. If we are to come to understand who in truth we "Already Are", through the contrast of heaven and hell within us, which is the wealth of the world of souls or awwul within us, which is where we all were before coming here, and through the contrast of good and evil within us, which is the wealth of this earth world, this dunya within us that we have now come to, this dunya or earth world which is really within us, but that we now see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. And through the contrast of wisdom and fate within us, and the contrast of the qualities of God and the qualities of the Creation of God within us, which is the wealth of the next world within us, that is, is the wealth of the hereafter or akhirah within us, which is where we will all go when we finally die to the flesh, when we finally die to the "outside" of us, which is where we will all be given either an eternal life as "One with" God within us within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are now alive on the "outside" of us, to choose, to choose either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and we make that choice here, within the context of our current life on the "outside" of us, and in truth "what we do", not "what we say", will tell God our choice, for a man is known by his actions, not just by his words alone. Amen. For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now His Children (may God be pleased whith each of Us) on the "outside" of us, teach us, in the beautiful book of wiesdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", on page 6, in the "Forward" to that book, "Man appearing on the earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap, he does not know to seek himself although God exists within man". In this way, my dearest loving brother Ellis, we forgotten God within us, we have forgotten the true nature of God within us, which is "Oneness", and we have fallen into many a trap, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and fail to go in search of our true self, which True Man, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which can only be found within God within us, after we become "One with" God within us, after we join in partnership with God within us to complete what God has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, by first revealing True Man to True Man within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, or at least join in partnership with God within us to start this story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and in this way, become truly successful in our lifetime, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. In this way, the first 4 Spiritual Letters, from God within us all, that is, Spiritual Letters 66, 67, 68, and 69, that we have shared over the last month, at least within the heart of this child, have focused us on "Our Choice", and this fifth and last Spiritual Letter which we are now sharing, focuses "us" on both, on both the "Main Goal" of our life, which is to become again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of this "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and on the "Main Obstacle" of our life, which is standing in our way to our reaching this goal, which is our ego. Which is our own existence as "separate from" the existence of God within us, which is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, in ignorance of God within us, and in ignorance of what we have allowed to grow within us. 06. The Nine Openings of Our Body - that now rule over us Expanded Summary of Topic 06: "The Nine Openings of Our Body" that now rule over us, with God's permission, and the forces and energies related to them, that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, are in truth what currently "separates us" from God within us, that currently "separates us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and that currently "separates us" from the Creation of God within us, all within the "justice of God" within us, and with God's permission, until we "See God" and "Steady Him Within Us", and then God sets about "Curing Himself" of "us", of "us" as "separate from" God within us, as He did before, in order to become God within us, but doing it this time within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, within the Creation of God within us, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us. Within Adam (peace be upon Him) within us having recovered from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, this time becoming again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of both His fall from grace, and His "Oneness" with God within us, so it will never leave Him again, and if we like, will never leave "us" again, that is, if that be our true intention for our life, if our true intention for our life is to become "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, so God can successfully 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 brother Ellis, in ignorance we have allowed lives of darkness, of hell, and of evil to grow within us, which in their maturity have now become the 9 openings of our own body which now rule over "us", with God's permission, rule over "us" as "separate from" God within us, until we "See God and steady Him" within us. That rule over "us" as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, the Creation of God that God has lovingly and ever so patiently placed within each of us, as "His Earth", within which He will plant the "Seed of God" within us, and grow the "Tree of God" within us, and bear the "Fruit of God" within us, when we have proven to God within us, by our actions and not just by our words, that "we can be cured", that God can "Cure Himself of us" within us, after He "accepts us", after we have "seen Him and steadied Him within us", because in truth "we do not want" anything that God has discarded, to become "God within us. And what God has discarded to become God within us, which He must do again within us, if we are to be cured, because the "cure of us is God" within us, what God has discarded to become God within us is everything we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. 07. The "Main Goal" of Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 07: The "Main Goal" of Our Life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, but this time with an understanding of our fall from grace, so we will never fall again, that is, but this time with an understanding of our fall from the grace of God within us, from the "Spirit" of God within us, into the flesh of us, into the "outside" of us, into our current life of "separation and differences" that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Into our current life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, into our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold, into our current life of "selfishness" as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, as "separate from" the Creation of God within us which is the "Earth of God" within us, within which God must plant the "Seed of God" within us, to grow the "Tree of God" within us, and harvest the "Fruits of God" within us, if we will only let Him. That is, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime, before we die to the flesh of us, before we die to the "outside" of us, so in this way, God can complete what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, a time way before we were born into this earth world, which is to reveal God to God within us, which is to answer God's question of God within us, the question, "Who am I?, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Text of Topic 07: Such is the "Main Goal" of our life, my dearest loving brother Ellis, which we must accomplish, or at least truly begin to accomplish in partnership with God within us, by realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with, by becoming "One with", the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, like this letter. Such is the "Main Goal" of our life, my dearest loving brother Ellis, which is making straight the "Path of God" within us, the "Way of the Lord" within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. Amen. 08. The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 08: The "Main Obstacle" of Our Life is our ego, is our belief and our affirmation of "us" as the center of our life and of our world, is our belief and our affirmation with each breath, with each look, with each thought, with each word, and with each action, of "us" living as "separate from" everything else on the "outside" of us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. The "Main Obstacle" of our life is our belief and our affirmation of our own existence as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which in our ignorance we see as all occurring on the "outside" of us, starting and really ending, if we reflect on it a little with our wisdom, with the first of our affirmations, the affirmation that "I exist" as "separate from" God within us, when in truth it is God, and only God who exists, who exists within us, that in truth, "There is nothing other than God" within us, "You are God" within us, and that in truth "God is One" within us. Which in the Islamic tradition is called the "First Kalimah" of Islam, of the "Five Kalimahs" of Islam, or the First Affirmation of the Truth of Allah, of the Five Affirmations of the Truth of Allah, the "First Kalimah" of Islam which in the Arabic language is recited by all Muslims, that is, by all those who have truly "Submitted to the will of God", recited in Arabic as "La illaha Ill Allah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah", or recited in English as, "There is nothing other than You. You are God. And Muhammad (Sal.) is the Messenger of God." Text of Topic 08: And such is the "Main Obstacle" of our life preventing that, my dearest loving brother Ellis, preventing us from reaching this goal, which is our ego, the main obstacle between "us" and "us" becoming "One with" God within us, the main obstacle which is "us" living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, the main obstacle between "us" and "us" realizing and making the correct choice in our lifetime, the choice of "Oneness with" God within us, for eternity, and truly making this choice before we physically die to the "outside" of us. And another facet of the "Main Obstacle" of our true life as "One with" God within us is our current beliefs and practices, that our current beliefs and practices are already Ok, that what we currently understand about "us" and God, and what we are currently doing in relationship to God, that is, our duty to God, is just fine, that we already correctly believe in God, and correctly pray to Him, love Him, trust in Him, and do duty for Him. So what else is needed?. 09. The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 09: The Subtle "Sin of Righteousness" In Our Life has over taken all of us living in this age, which is the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about over 2000 years ago, indicating that only later on, in our age, would we become strong enough to hear about this subtle "Sin of Righteousness", when Jesus (peace be upon Him) would send us the Comforter of God, the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth" to teach us about this subtle sin and lead us past it and back into "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh Text of Topic 09: And my dearest loving brother Ellis, as noted earlier in this letter, but which needs repeating, over and over again, as it is the very heart of our sharing, and the main trap that we have all fallen into, the first 4 Spiritual Letters, that is, Spiritual Letter 66, 67, 68, and 68, also focuses us on the "subtle sin" that we have all fallen into, as members in all of the religions of the world, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as another facet of the "Main Obstacle" to our "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Sin of Righteousness" that Jesus (peace be upon Him) Himself warned us about over 2000 years ago. That Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago was the one thing that He wanted to tell us about, before He died, but couldn't because at that time, we "could not bear to hear it", but that later, after He physically left us, He would send us the "Comforter", the "Spirit or Consciousness of Truth", who would come to us in our greatest hour of need, which is now, and would teach us about this most subtle of all sins, the very sin that in our ignorance we have all fallen in to, in many cases without even knowing it, about this "Sin of Righteousness", and reprove or gently remove it from us, if we will only accept Him, as truly coming from Jesus (peace be upon Him), and then let Him correct us, when Jesus (peace be upon Him) later sends Him to us, sends the "Comforter", the "Spirit of Truth" to us. Which is what is happening now, my dearest loving brother Ellis, in our age, which in truth is the life and teaching 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 in truth is the reason for this letter to my dearest loving brother Ellis, and to all of the Children of God for this age. Amen. 10. The "Answer" To Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 10: The "Answer" To Our Life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do this by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with 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 of His Children (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us. For example, like these Spiritual Letters from God within us all, from this child, to the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen Text of Topic 10: So in summary, my dearest loving brother Ellis, the first four Spiritual Letters, from God within us all, focus us on, "Our Choice", describing the only true choice in our life, the only thing truly left in our life after we cut away the drama of our life on the "outside" of us, the choice that we all must make in this age, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, realizing that a "no choice" in our lifetime is still a choice, a choice that is then made for us, by God within us, a choice we will most certainly live to regret, if God has to make it for us after we die. And in this way, a choice which when truly understood with our wisdom immediately answers all of the most serious questions of our life, questions like "What is the purpose of my life?, and "Who am I", "Where am I", and "What is truly happening in my life?" And the answer to our life is, that we must again become "One", but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", we must again become "One with" God within us, and "One with" all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, and "One with" the Creation of God within us, and we must do this because God is "One" within us, and God is "One with" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and because in truth we are "Of God", and "Of what God is doing within us", we are not of the Creation of God within us, or of the elemental spirits that have grown within us in our ignorance, which we have in our ignorance become "one with". This is the answer to our life, we must again becoming "One with" God within us, and "One 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, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. And we must do all of this before we die to the "outside" of us, or at least truly begin it in partnership with God within us, as "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, because after we physically die to the "outside" of us the opportunity to do this is over, the opportunity to become again "One", with an understanding of our "Oneness", the opportunity to become again "One with" God within us, and again "One with" what God is doing within us, is gone, because that is the way God set it up, that is the reason for the "outside" of us, that is why we are now alive living in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, to correctly make the choice, the choice between living as "One with" God within us, and living as "separation from" God on the "outside" of us, and to make this choice while we still can, before we die to the flesh and God has to make this choice for us. May God help all of us realize this "truth of our life", that in truth we are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, we are "God happening" within the "Earth of God" within us, and the truth of God within us, that in truth God within us, as the "Tree of God" within us, is the "Seed of God's Fruits" within us, is the "Seed of True Man" within us, is "True Man happening" within the "Tree of God" within the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, without the slightest doubt, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, all of which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. 11. The Nature of "True Prayer" In Our Life Expanded Summary of Topic 11: The "Nature of True Prayer In Our Life" is "us" correctly making the one and only true choice of our life before we die to the flesh, that is, the choice to become either "One with" God within us or to become "separate from" God within us, for both now before we die to the flesh, and for late, for eternity, after we die to the flesh. And the correct choice is "Oneness with" God within us, both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, in this way, with "us" choosing this correct choice rather than choosing the wrong choice. And the wrong choice is "separation from" God within us, both now, in our current life in the world on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh, and then for eternity after we die to the flesh, after we die to the "outside" of us, in this way, with "us" choosing this wrong choice rather than choosing the correct choice. And in this way, the wrong choice is "us" continuing to conduct our life in the world with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, is "us" choosing to continue to live our life as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, and then, when we die to the flesh, if this be our choice, if we have made the wrong choice, then with "us" getting the same life of "separation and differences", the same temporary life of sin that we are currently living on the "outside" of us, but this time for eternity. And then this wrong choice becomes our fate, becomes our choice for eternity, because that is what "we" have decide for "us", not what God has decided for "us", that is, such becomes our fate, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, if we do that, that is, if "we" make this wrong choice for our life our eternal life, by the way that we live and act on the "outside" of us. And if we continue make this wrong choice for our life, until we die to the flesh, then this becomes our eternal life in the hereafter, in akhirah, in the next world within us, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" within us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as "separate from" from the "Truth of God" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us. This most certainly will become our fate if we continue to make this wrong choice while we are still alive and living in the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, in the world that in truth is within us, not "outside" of us, a world within us that in truth is a world of darkness and evil that in our ignorance we have allowed to grown within us, like weeds growing in a flower garden, eventually if not regularly pulled out destroying the original flower garden, world of "separation and differences, a world of sin, a world of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a world of mind and desire, a world of desire for earth, women, and gold, that now in maturity rules over us as our 9 openings, with God's permission, until we see God and steady Him within us. In this way, if we keep telling this to God within us, that we are "separate from "God, that we are "separate from" each other, and that we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and that we love and trust in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, if we keep telling this to God within us over and over again, with our every look, thought, word, action, and intention, no matter what God shows us to the opposite, that in truth God and Man are "One", if we keep telling this to God within us, until we die to the flesh, then what is God to do? If we keep telling this to God within us, by the way that we live and act on the "outside" of us, if we keep telling this to God within us, that this wrong choice is really what we truly want, no matter what our words or preaching may be saying on the "outside" of us, then that is what we will get for eternity, with this becoming our fate for eternity within us in accordance with the "Justice of God" within us, for God within us teaches us in this age, that "whatever we intend is what we will get". Amen. That is, if our own life in the world on the "outside" of us is telling this to God within us, over and over again, is telling God within us that we want to continue to live "separate from" God within us, that we do not want to become "One with" God within us, either now before we die to the flesh, or later after we die to the flesh, that we do not want to give up our current life of "separation and difference", our current life of sin on the "outside" of us, either now or later, that we do not want to give up our current life 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, that this is our choice, that this wrong choice is our choice for both now and later, then what is God to do? And in this way, if we do this with our life on the "outside" of us, if we make this wrong choice on the "outside" of us, and choose "separation from" God within us as our life choice for both now and eternity, rather than choosing "Oneness with" God within us as our life choice for both now and eternity, telling this choice to God over and over again by the way that we live and act in the world on the "outside" of us, then what is God to do?. Then what is God to do? But to give us what we want, but to give each of us what we told God within us, over and over again, what we want, while living on the "outside" of us. For our reward for our current life in the world on the "outside", as we lived it before we died to the flesh, then becomes just that, after we die to the flesh, then becomes an eternal life as we lived it on the "outside" of us, then becomes either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because this is what we have intended, because this is what we have told God within us that we wanted, because this is the crop that we have sown, this is the house that we have built, according to the way that we have acted while living on the "outside" of us, because this is what we have done with what God gave to each of us in the beginning, because this is what we have done with the wealth that God originally gave us. Amen. This is the "Justice of God" within our life, this is our judgment and our salvation within us, that is, our reward in the next world is determined by our life in this world, is determined by our actions in this world, not just our words, a world which for most of us is the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, unless we join with God within us to become wise before we die to the flesh, and begin to journey within ourselves as truly "One with" God within us. Amen. In this way, what we get next is determined by what we do now, that is, by the way that we have lived our short temporary life on the "outside" of us, by what we have loved and trusted, by what we have placed our faith and trust in, while alive and living in the world on the "outside" of us, so then this is what we then get for eternity, when we die to the flesh, either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, then this is what we get, according to the justice of God within us, an eternal life as "separate from" the "truth of us" and as "separate from" the 'truth of God" within us. In this way, if the wrong choice becomes our fate, that is, if an eternal life as "separate from" God within us becomes our fate, then we will have suffered the same fate as an apple seed that fails to germinate, forever "separating itself" from the story of the "oneness of the apple tree and the apple" hidden within it, that it came to the earth, to join as "one with" the earth, to tell. And in this way, if this becomes our fate, if we continue to make the wrong choice, if we continue to live as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, that is, if we too fail to germinate, which in our case is to germinate the "Seed of God" within us, then like the apple seed that fails to germinate, we too will be forever "separating us" from the story hidden within us, which in our case is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that we have come to the "Earth of God", which is the "Creation of God" within us, to join as "One with" the "Earth of God" within us, with the "Creation of God" within us, to tell. My God help us all. May we not show God within us a life in the world on the "outside" of us that makes an eternal life as "separation from" God within us our fate, but rather may we show God within us a life in the world on the "outside" of us that does not make this our fate, that instead makes our fate an eternal life as "One with" God within us. And before we die to the flesh may we realize this truth of our life and this truth of God within us, without the slightest doubt, that in truth "we" are the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as such in truth we are "God Happening" within the Creation of God us, as an apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "apple tree happening", and that in truth God within us is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the "Creation of God" within us, and as such God within us in truth is "True Man Happening" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God within us, as the apple tree hidden within an apple seed that is buried within the earth is in truth the "apple fruits happening" within the "apple tree happening" within the earth. And may we realize, also without the slightest doubt, that this life choice that each of us have came here to make is our choice to make, not God's choice to make, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "One with" us, and that is why we are now alive in the world on the "outside" of us, to now make our choice, so God can either finish or permanently stop 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. And this choice is ours, not God's, this choice is ours, to germinate or not before we die to the flesh, this choice is our, to either join in partnership with God within us, and stop working for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, in order to allow "Us", in order to allow God within us, as "One with" us within Him, and to allow "us" as "One with" God within us, to reveal what God has hidden within us, which in truth is the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and within God within us, before we die to the flesh, all of which is the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, in this way, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within us. Amen. Or to not do any of this, that is, to not join in partnership with God within us, but rather to continue to act on the "outside" of us as if we "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and to continue working for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, continuing to live this way until die to the flesh. And then, if we have made the correct choice with our life, if we have truly decided to "use God" to get to God within us, to become "One with" God within us, in this way, having joined in partnership with God within us, in order to make the correct choice within us, then join with God within us in order to reveal the result of this correct choice within us, and to do all of this before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or at least to truly join with God within us to again start our life moving in that direction, in the direction of what God has intended for our life, in the direction of what God is doing within us, in the direction of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, in the direction of telling this story within us, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. For then God will do everything else, for then God will complete it, for then God will complete what He has started within us, within each of us, a very, very long time ago, for then God will reveal God to God within us, for then God will answer the question God asked of God within us, in anathi or the time darkness or "lack of understanding" within us, the question "Who am I?" within us, for the benefit of all the Creation of God within us. This is God's Guarantee for our age. Amen. Text of Topic 11: And in truth, my dearest loving brother Ellis, this is our "True Prayer" to God in our lifetime, this correct choice is our "True Prayer" to God within us, this choosing God as "One with" us over "us" as "separate from" God within us, is our only true life and our only true prayer, the only true prayer to God we can do, and the only true life that we can live, as "One with" God within us, the prayer and the life of "Oneness", the prayer and the life of the "Oneness" of "us and God within us. Not what we are currently doing in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, in the dream of us, in the drama of us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. Amen. Not what we currently call prayer to God, not what we currently call our life on the "outside" of us, which are all prayers and a life of "separation and differences", prayers and a life that say to God, that "I am a Christian and you are a Muslim", or that "I am a Muslim and you are a Jew", or that "I am a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Jew, and you are a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian (Fire Worship)", or any of the other subdivisions of prayer or life that "we" have made up, not that God has made up, that we have made up in our ignorance, in our arrogance, karma, and illusion, to please our mind and desire, but certainly not to please God within us who has none of this, none of this "separation and differences" within Him. Amen. No this type of worship or prayer, this type of life, is not acceptable to God within us, especially in our age, when God has given each of us everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, that is necessary for "us", for each of "us", to transcend these thoughts and prayers and life of "separation and differences", thoughts and prayers and a life that are not really worshipping God at all within us, who in truth is "One with" everyone and everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, but rather prayers and a life that are really worshipping "ourselves" on the "outside" of us, that are really only worshipping "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. This is our flaw, our only true flaw, which is what we have become, not what we are doing, and this is our current prayer and life, this is our flaw, which is what we have become, which are our current prayers of "separation and differences", our current life of "separation and differences", our current life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us. A flaw, a prayer, and a life that Jesus (peace be upon Him) started to warn us about, started to explain to us about over 2000 years ago, when He told us in the "Gospel of John", not to "worship ourselves" by forming into groups, calling us "this or that" group, as separate from other groups, because in truth we are all "One, we are all "The Children of God". For in truth God is "One", and so are we, and God is the "One" that we all must worship, as "One with" God within us, and "we" are the "One" who must worship God within us, as "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, and this is what we must believe about both God and about "us", this "Oneness", which in maturity within us is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. And in this way, to truly pray to God within us we must come together as "One" within us, as the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, and on the "outside" of us, if we come together to pray to God, we must come together as "One", all gathering under "One" tent to worship the "One" God, as "One Group", as the "One Religion of God", not as "separate groups", both "separate from" God within us and "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us. Only this way of worshipping God within us, as "One with" God within us, and as "One with" each other on the "outside" of us, is acceptable to God within us, not what we are all currently doing. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 30 & 31 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not My will, but the will of the Father who hath sent Me." "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true". Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 43 & 44 And further in the Chapter 05, in Verses 43 & 44, Jesus (peace be upon Him) teaches us, "I have come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." "How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" In this way, when we separate ourselves off into groups, and define "us" in terms of those groups, define "us" as members of this or that group, as "separate from" other groups, with a common set of beliefs and practices, "separate from" the beliefs and practices of other groups, like as a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian (Fire Worshiper), we are doing just that, we are bearing witness of ourselves, as "separate from" other Children of God, and we honoring one another as members of our designated group, as "separate from" other groups. This is wrong, and is not acceptable to God within us, for anything that we do in this context of "separation and differences" is against both God and True Man within us, is against the "Oneness" that is God within us, and is against the "Oneness" that is True Man within us, is against the "Oneness" of God within us and against the "Oneness" of "us" within God within us, is against the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, which in truth is the very essence of God's existence within us, and of our existence within God within us, of "us" within God within us. 12. Our Current Way, Life, and Prayers Are Not Acceptable To God Expanded Summary of Topic 12: - In Process. Please come back later. Thank you - Text of Topic 12: And in this way, my dearest loving brother Ellis, our current way of life, our current prayers, our current life, as well as our current learning, and our current duty is wrong, and is not acceptable to God within us, because in this context, in our current state, everything that we "say or do" is wrong, that is, with "us" living just on the "outside" us, as if we are "separate from" God within u s, which is not true, as if we are "separate from" each other, which is also not true, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which is also definitely not true, that is, with "us" not yet having shifted our focus off of "us" on the "outside" of us and onto God within us, off of our "selfishness" and onto God's selflessness, and in this way, all that we "say or do" is wrong, including our prayers and our life of "separation and differences", and our learning, and our duty of "separation and differences". May God protect us from continuing to make this mistake, from continuing to use what God has given us in this way, and instead open our heart to the truth of these words. Amen. Please forgive me my dearest loving brother Ellis if this upsets you or any of your dearest loving family or friends in any way, but it is the truth, it is the word of God within all of us for this age, for the Children of God for this age, and to be successful in our own lifetime we must accept it as such, and join with God within us to become "One with" God within us, and "One 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. Amen. And we must do all of this "Heart's Work", all of this again becoming "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or at least truly join with God within us to restart this journey up again within us, this journey of the soul within us back into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, but this time with an understanding of that Oneness, so it will never leave us again, which in truth is "Who we are?, in this way answering God's question of God within us, that was asked by God of God within us, a very, very long time ago, even before there was time within us, even before kalam or time within us started leading us to Kalan, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, the question, "Who am I?" . Amen. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 05, Verses 19 to 24 For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago, as recorded also in the "Gospel of John", also in Chapter 05, in Verses 19 to 24, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us again in our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." "For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel." "For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will." "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father which hath sent Him." "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." Amen. And each of us, my dearest loving brother Ellis, in this age, is this "Sun of God" or Light of God to the world, that Jesus (peace be upon Him) showed us an example of over 2000 years ago, if we like, if our intention is truly to become "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. Quotation from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 01, Verses 10 to 14 For as God told us over 2000 years ago, as recorded also in the "Gospel of John", in Chapter 01, in Verses 10 to 14, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us again in our age, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in His name." "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, full of grace and truth." Amen. 13. The True Nature of Each of Us In This Age Expanded Summary of Topic 13: - In Process. Please come back later. Thank you - Text of Topic 13: Such is the true nature of each of "us", my dearest loving brother Ellis, to truly receive God within us in our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age, and in this way to receive God's power to become the "Son of God" in our age, to become the "Word" make flesh in our age, and dwell among all those living in this age, as the Sun or Light of God to the world, in our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did in His age. Such is the true example of Jesus (peace be upon Him) for our age, to do as He did, both within us and on the "outside" of us, in our age, to make the story of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in His age, our story in this age. Amen. Such is the true nature of each of "us", my dearest loving brother Ellis, of "us within us as "One with" God within us, which is "Oneness", and the true nature of God within us, which is also "Oneness", as "One with" what we can truly become within us, in our own lifetime within us, which is True Man within God within us, which in maturity is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. With "us" within us as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which when we join as "One with" God within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, becomes the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us. And with God within us as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which after the "Seed of God" within us germinates, becomes the "Seed of the Fruit" of God within the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us, within the "Wish-fulfilling Tree" which in the Islamic tradition is called the Katpaha Virudcham, which "contains the Power of God, the light of the grace-awakened wisdom of gnanam, from which you can receive whatever you ask for, whatever you think of". With this "Seed of the Fruit" of God first appearing as the "Flower of Wisdom" on the "Tree of God" within the Creation of God within us, as the 6th level of wisdom within us, the wisdom of the Qutbiyyat or Power of God within us, the "wisdom beyond intellect that teaches, analyzes, and controls" everything within us, which if it is properly fertilized by the "Honeybee of God" within us, which is from the "Mountain Top" of God within us, which is the "Throne of God" on the top of our head, the place in our body that can support the weight of God, that is, fertilized by the "Primal One" within us, with the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, allowing this "Flower of Wisdom" within us to become the mature fruits on the wish fulfilling tree of God within us. And these mature fruits includes all of the religious scripts of all of the religions or paths of God that have come into the world, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world, over 200 million years ago, including everything in the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible, the teaching in the Jewish and the Christian traditions, and everything in the Holy Qur'an, the teaching in the Islamic tradition. And the One who tastes the sweet taste of these mature fruits within us, which is the taste of God within us, and then distributes these "Fruits of God" to all of the Creation of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, is True Man within God within us, who in the Islamic tradition is called Insan Kamil, or "Perfected Man". Amen. 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 brother Ellis - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Or to get an eternal life as "separate from" God within us as our eternal reward, that is, if we choose "business as usual", or if we choose not to choose, and by default let God choose for us, after we die, and in this way, continue to live as we are currently living on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, and then get that after we die, and then allow God to choose for us, after we die, based on how we have lived our life, based on how we have used what He has given us. In this way, opening ourselves up to the "Justice of God" after we die to the flesh, to the justice that "whatever we intend while living for a short time in the world on the outside of us, before we die to the flesh, is what we will then receive for eternity within us after we die to the flesh", a justice which then becomes, if we are not wise, if we have not re-established our direct connection to God within us, before we die to the flesh, then becomes after we die to the flesh, the "suffering of the grave", then becomes Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and then becomes 105 million rebirths, with us potentially ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, of feeling, and in this way, opening ourselves up to an eternal life of ""separation from" God within us after we die to the flesh. Here is another beautiful discourse from God within us, which also teaches us about the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us" and "us", standing between "us" and "us" making the correct choice, standing between "us" and "us" choosing "Oneness with" God within us before we die to the flesh, standing between "us" and "us" within us as "One with" God within us for eternity, standing between "us" and "us" within us sowing the good crop within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, standing between "us and "us" within us building the proper house within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the "Palace of the soul", the "House of wisdom", within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the "Main Obstacle" standing between "us" within us and God within us, which is our ego. The "Main Obstacle" to an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which is our current belief and thoughts that we exist as "separate from" God within us, on the "outside" of us, which is our current life on the "outside" of us of "selfishness", of sin, of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours", of "I and you" that we have allowed in our ignorance to grow within us, a life that we currently see as existing on the "outside" of us but which in truth is within us, our current life on the "outside" of us with "us" living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us. In this way, a life, a body, and a world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, when in truth we are all One within us, when in truth, "us", all of "us", and God within us, and True Man within God within us, are One within us, if we will only let this "Oneness" of us happen within us, before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, through our faith and trust in God within us, and only in God within us, and in this way, replacing the current world of "separation and differences" within us with the Kingdom of God within us, and within that with the Secret World of Allah within us, and within that with the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. In this way, replacing the earth world or dunya within us, which in truth is "God's First School" within us, the "School of Contrasts" within us, where we have come to join with our wisdom, with the true "Gift of God" for our age, to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, in this way, replacing this earth world or school or dunya within us with the next light world or school or akhirah within us, which in truth is "God's Second School" within us, the "School of Light" within us, where God personally and every so lovingly teaches us about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and with "us" joined in partnership with God within us, as "One with" God within us, and doing all of this now, doing all of this "here and now" within us, before we die to the flesh. Such is the true birthright, the true heritage of each one of living in this age, if we like. Amen. May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all.
