Expanded Overview - of Spiritual Letter 70

In this fifth and last in a series of 5 beautiful Spiritual Letters to our dearest loving brother Mr. Ellis Thomas, a High School Classmate of Louie, we provide "Spiritual Letter 70".  A letter to Mr. Ellis Thomas who has been recently told by his doctors that he is currently dying of a terminal illness, and only has a short time to live.  A letter to
Ellis and to each of us, who in truth have also been told by our doctor, by our Father,
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and by God within Him, that we are also dying of a terminal illness, and also have but a short time to live, dying of the terminal illness of "separation from" God within us. 

A letter which is a summary of the previous four letters that "we" sent to Ellis, at least in our heart, that is, a summary of the "Major 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 our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and the "Major Obstacle" to our reaching this goal in our own life time, which is our ego, which is our current life of "separation and differences", our current life of "mine and yours", of "I" and "you" on the "outside" of us, our current life of sin, that we are currently living with our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is really within us, has really grown within us in our ignorance, is now ruling over us as the 9 openings of our body, with God's permission.

The "Major Obstacle" to our reaching our "Major Goal" which is "us", which is the current "us", that we are currently experiencing as "us" living with our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, is the world of darkness, of hell, and of evil that in our ignorance has grown within us, and now gives us a false view of "us" on the "outside", a view of "us" and of our dearest loving brothers and sisters as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, a false view that is only leading us to hell, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, after we die to the flesh, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, a false view of both "us" and of God within us, that has grown within us through our ignorance of "us", and of our ignorance of God within us.

A false view of us and of God within us that naturally occurs on the "outside" of us by "us" mistakenly using the wrong part of what God has given to each of us, which is what God has discarded within us, in order to become God within us, in this way, using what God has discarded, which is currently everything that we see as existing on the "outside" of us, including "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters, to define "us", to define us as living on the "outside" of "us", as "separate from" God within us, rather than using the correct part of what God has given to us, which is God Himself within us, and what God is doing within us, to define us, to define us as "One with" God within us, as "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, and as "One with" everything that God is "One with" within us, including the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within us.  Amen.

A false view of us and of God within us that naturally grows within us, like weeds in a  beautiful flower garden, that grows as the world of darkness, of hell, and of evil within us, but that we see in our ignorance as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", a life of sin, on the "outside" of us, that naturally grows within us by "us" mistakenly using that part of God's Gift to us, which is what God has discarded within us, to bear witness of "us" on the "outside" of us, to falsely define us on the "outside" of us, to define "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.

Rather than "us" joined as "One with" God within us correctly using the other part of what God has given us, which is God Himself and what God is doing within us, to truly bear witness of God within us, and to truly bear witness what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (in this earth world or dunya) within us, by first revealing True Man to True Man (in the next world or akhirah) within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within us.  Amen.

Rather than "us" joining in partnership with God within us to correctly use God within us and what God is doing within us, to find and become again "One with" God within us, as we were in the beginning, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, and to do all of this, or at least truly start to do all of this in partnership with God within  us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, that is, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us, to correctly define us and God within us, to correctly define "us" as "One with" God within us, and to correctly define God within us as "One with" us within Him within us, and in this way, to correctly define "us" and God within us, and True Man within God within us as "One", in the same way that the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits are in truth all one.

And to correctly define "us" as "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 (in this earth world or dunya) within us, by first revealing True Man within us as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, and to correctly define God within us, as "One with" what True Man is doing within us, which is revealing True Man to True Man within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (in the next world or akhirah) within us, by first revealing God within us as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation" within us.

And as such They are One, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within It, as the One revealing the Other hides Itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again in the next cycle of God-Man/Man-God, like the apple seed revealing the apple tree hides itself within the apple tree only to appear again as the apple seed within the apple fruit, in the next cycle of the "Apple Tree-Apple/Apple-Apple Tree", but this time as a 1000 fold.

In this way, with "us" joined in partnership with God within us to correctly define "us" within us, and God within us, and True Man within God within us, to correctly define "us" as the "Seed of God" within us, within the Creation of God within us, and to correctly define God within us as the "Tree of God" within us, having grown out of the Creation of God within us, and to correctly define True Man within us as the "Fruit of God" within us, having come to maturity on the "Tree of God" within us.

That is, to correctly define "us" as the "Seed of the Tree of God" within us, as the "Seed of God" within us, and to correctly define God within us as the "Seed of the Fruit of God" within us, as the "Seed of True Man" within us, and in this way, to correctly define "us" as "God happening" within us, and in this way, to correctly define God within us as "True Man happening" within us, and as such "We are One", "us" and God within us, and True Man within God within us are One, are One within us.  Amen.

That is, to correctly define "Us" within us, to define "us", and God within us, and True Man within God within us, as the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, just as an apple seed buried within the earth is correctly defined as the "apple tree happening" within it, and the apple tree hidden within it is correctly defined as the "apple fruit happening" within it, and the apple fruit is correctly defined as the "apple seeds again happening" within it, is correctly defined as the story of the "oneness of the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruits" within it, which naturally happens within it, if it will only let it, as it also naturally happens within each of us, if we will only let it.

If we will only let it happen within us, by "us" truly coming to realize, to understand, to accept, and then to join again as "one" with "who we truly are", as "one" with "where we truly are", and as "one" with "what is truly happening" within us, as an apple seed must, before it rots in the earth, if it is to ever join again as "one with" the earth and germinate, revealing the apple tree hidden within it, revealing the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree, and again revealing the many apple seeds hidden within the many apple fruits.  Amen.

That is, if the apple seed will only realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of itself" and the "truth of what is hidden" within it, if it will only let the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, as each of us must learn to do, if we are to become truly successful in our own lifetime, and it must do all of this, as must each of us, or at least truly start it, before it rots in the earth.

That is, if the apple seed will only become "one with" the truth of itself, and "one with" the truth of what is hidden within it, before it rots in the earth, a truth that naturally emerges from within the apple seed, like it also naturally emerges from within each of us, when we are ready, ready to hear it and ready to either accept or reject it, and if we accept it, then ready to become "One with" it and allow it to happen within us. 

For example, like these five beautiful Spiritual Letters coming to each of "us" from God within us all, to all of the Children of God in our age, including our dearest loving brother Ellis, because now we are ready, now in our age, we are ready to hear the "truth of us" and the "truth of God' within us, and to accept it, now we are ready to do this "Hearts Work" within us, before it is too late, if we like, if our true intention for our life is to become again "One with" God within us before we die to the flesh.

A truth which naturally emerges from within the apple seed when it is ready to hear it, and when it is ready to either accept or reject it, and then having accepted it,
when it is ready to join as "one with" it, by first joining as "one with" the earth that it is buried within, and then as "one with" the earth to germinate, and in this way, revealing what God has hidden within it, which in the case of the apple seed is the apple tree and its fruits, and their oneness, and is again itself as the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold.

And which in our case is God and True Man within us, and Their "Oneness" within us, and is again "us" as the "Seed of God" within us, but this time a 1000 fold, this time as the 1000 Generosities of God within us, bringing the 4 elements of earth, water, fire, and air within us to completion within us, the 4 elements that we now see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which are now falsely defining "us", on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, in this way, bringing them back into the 1 element of earth within us, bringing them back as Adam (peace be upon Him) within us before the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us.

Bring the "Earth of God" within us, the Creation of God within us, which in truth is Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, back into the state in which God created him, the state of Adam (peace be upon Him) before his fall from grace, the state of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us when he initially correctly defined "us" within us, as the "Palace of the soul", as the "House of wisdom" within us, before his fall from grace within us.

And in this way, bringing the 4 false religions on the "outside" of us back into the 1 true religion of God within us, back into Iman-Islam within us, and in this way, bringing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us back into his state before his fall from grace within us, back into his initial state within each of us which is his "Oneness with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of both his fall and of his "Oneness", so that "Oneness with" God within him will never leave him again.

And will never leave "us" again either, if we like, will never leave "us" again if "we" again become "One with" Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, after he has again become "One with" God within Him, and in this way, will never leave "us" again if "we" as the "Seed of God" within us, like the apple seed buried within the earth, become again as "One with" the true "Earth of God" within us, the true Creation of God within us, and germinate within us, revealing the Sun of God, the Light of God to the world.

And in this way, a state of "Oneness with" God within us which will never leave us again, if that be our true intention, if our true intention is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, so in truth "we" like the apple seed can truly germinate before we die to the flesh, before we rot in our mind and desire, as we are currently doing.

Before we rot in our mind and desire, in the dream of our life of "separation and differences", of our life of "selfishness", of our life of sin, on the "outside" of us, which naturally occur within us when "we" continue to falsely try to use what God has discarded within us to define us on the "outside" of us, rather than "us" within us, which is our wisdom, the wisdom surrounding our soul, correctly using the other part that God has given to each of us, which is God within us and what God is doing within us, to correctly define us as "One with" God within us, and as "One with" what God is doing within us, to correctly reveal "us" and what God has hidden within us, a very, very long time age, even before we were born into this earth world or dunya.

To correctly reveal "us", and God within us, and True Man within God within Us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and within that as the "Tree of God" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and within that as the "Fruit of God" within the "Tree of God" within the "Seed of God' within the Creation of God within  us, which in truth is story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us.

And in this way, with "us" using each breath, each look, each thought, each word, and each action, using each thing that God has given to us, and each thing that God has placed before us, to join in partnership with God within us, to establish the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, in this way, again becoming "One with" God within us, before we "say or do" anything, allowing God within us, joined as "One with" us within us, and allowing "us" within God within us, joined as "One with" God within us, to reveal God to God within us, by first revealing True Man to True Man within us, in order 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 and of all of the Creation of True Man within us.  Amen.

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

Which in English can be interpreted, if we like, as,

"So be it, So be it, Oh Ruler of the 18,000 Universes within us. So be it, So be it, Oh Most Merciful One within us. So be it, So be it, Oh Must Compassionate One within us. All praise and praising belongs to God and to God alone. Only God is Great. Amen".

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.  And may we all come to realize that in truth God only helps those who help themselves, but help themselves in partnership with God within them, not by acting alone, by acting as if we were "separate from" God within us, who in truth is closer to us than our very own breath, and in this way, by acting as "One with" God within us in everything that we say or do.

By establishing the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything, by "Making God's Intention our Search" in everything before we "say or do" anything, before we do it, by then "Intending as God Intends" before we "say or do" anything, and in this way, by getting God within us to do it, joined as "One with" us within God within us, before anything is "said or done".  Amen.

And in this way, by "us" becoming truly a slave of God within, as God becomes a slave of us within Him, before anything is "said or done", allowing God within us to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (in the earth world or
dunya
) within us, and allowing True Man within God within us to also finish what He has started within God within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal True Man to True Man within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of  True Man (in the next world or akhirah) within us.  Amen.

And in this way, with "us" allowing God and True Man within us to tell and complete "Their Story" within us, which in truth is "Our Story" within Them within us, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, allowing "us" to both witness and become "One with" Their story, to become "One with" our story, if we like.

In the same way that an apple seed buried within the earth realizes, understands, accepts, and joins as "one with" the "truth of itself" and the "truth of the apple tree and its fruits" hidden within it, with the truth that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready, ready to both hear it and either accept or reject that truth, and having accepted that truth, ready to become "one with" it, by first becoming "one with" the earth that it is buried within, and in this way germinate.

In this way, destroying itself as the apple seed buried within the earth and revealing itself as what is hidden within itself, hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth, and in this way, destroying the "outside" of itself, destroying its life of selfishness, its self centered life protecting itself from the earth, and instead revealing the apple tree hidden within it and the apple fruits of that tree, and again revealing the apple seed hidden within those fruits, but this time a 1000 fold, and in this way, with the apple seed buried within the earth allowing the apple tree and the apple fruits hidden within it to tell and complete "their story" within it, which in truth is its story within them, the story of the "oneness of the apple tree and its apples", and allowing itself to both witness and become "one with" that story, to become "one with" its own story, if it like.  Amen.

In this way, as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, and now as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, are teaching us right now,

          "Man is God in the forgetting of himself".

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