Al salaam 'alaykum my dear sweet brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. May the peace and blessings of God be with you and with all of your beautiful family. My love you. Are you well? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Thank you so much for the beautiful sharing from early this morning (Sunday). I just finished reading your email message and was very moved by the beautiful sharing it contained. [Note: For an on-line copy of this previous sharing, which was E-mail to you last Sunday, please click on the following: Spiritual Chat 264, "Become Like Me. Become Like Me.

Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Wa 'alaykum al-salam, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman. Bawa. Good. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. It was a real labor of love, at the feet of our Shaikh, and we could literally feel everything change in all of our lives. What a grace, What a wonder. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Yes, this child could feel the love that was shared in this message. It was truly a grace to read. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Crisi just asked Louie to get her a snack. Bawa. We will return in a few minutes. Ok? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Ok. This child is going to have to go to bed soon so we will see how long he lasts. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Ok. Bawa. So which of "our" questions shall we start with? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Good question. Let me go back to the list. [Note: Please click on the following to read the "List of Questions" that "we" came up with in our last Spiritual Chat, that is, in Spiritual Chat 264 "Become Like Me. Become Like Me. Become Like Me" (www.SpiritualChat264.homestead.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Let's try this question. "How can the dialogue with our Shaikh become more constant and clearly understood?" Bawa. The first answer that comes to this child is through practice and through the faith that comes with doing this regularly. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Lets start by saying the word "Bawa", establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and then both of us reflect on this question, and this first answer, for a little while, and then hand it to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, and then listen with our faith and trust in God within us, to what They are saying within our heart, that is, about this question and initial answer, and then share what we hear. Ok? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Ok MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. What immediately comes into my heart is the following question, that is, "What is your goal? What are you striving to accomplish in your life? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Or said another way, what is your intention? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. My goal is to understand what needs to be understood by a true human being, to live my life as a true human being, to fulfill Bawa's intention for my life, to understand why I came to this world and to live my life in a way that fulfills this reason for coming. To find the state of peace and contentment that comes from knowing who I am, who God is, who Bawa is, who Muhammad is, who Jesus is and knowing what is the duty of this life to all of them and then doing that duty perfectly. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allah Akbar. Bawa. And who is this goal all about? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. It sort of sounds like it's about me doesn't it? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Yes. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Shall we try again to answer the question or just be quiet and listen for a while? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Now remember what Bawa told us about the example of the Kungfu Television series, when the "Grass hopper" was facing a problem, or had a question. What did Cane do at that time? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. As I remember he thought back to some experience he had while he was studying with his teachers at the monastery. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Yes, Grasshopper, that is right. So do that. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. For example, what did Bawa tell us was the most important thing when doing Salat? (which is the traditional 5 times prayer in Islam) MMSulaiman11: Bawa. What first came when this child asked Bawa for an answer to the original question about the dialog with the Shaikh was that the way to do this is to remove whatever is not the Shaikh and discard that. Then when only the Shaikh is there the dialogue is easy. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. (Bawa said that the most important thing in Salat is) to first establish the presence of God within us, and then to make the proper intention to pray. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. That is a beautiful remembrance, right on! Bawa. Yes, intention. That is the most important thing in prayer, and in everything else. Bawa. So what is your intention. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. My intention is to be a true disciple (or child) of the Shaikh. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Ok, that is certainly one intention. Bawa. But since in truth everything that we are doing is really prayer, is that a proper intention for prayer, that you be a true disciple or child of Bawa? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. No. A proper intention for prayer is that God/Bawa come out of that place of unity where they are dwelling (within us) and join with this child in performing the prayer in a pure and perfect way. Coming and joining with this child so that all that is not God/Bawa is consumed and all that remains is God/Bawa. Then in that state God can pray to God as God. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Yes. Now lets look a little deeper at intention. Bawa. Bawa teaches us the following about intention: 1) Make God's intention our search. 2) Intend as God intends. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. So what is God's intention? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Or said another way, "What is God doing?" MMSulaiman11: Bawa. (What God is doing is) bringing back into Himself that which is Him and to leave outside Himself that which He has already discarded. Also to learn the Truth about who He really is. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. That intention for God sounds a little like the goal and intention that you had earlier for yourself, which we both said was a little selfish, that is, with you focusing on you, and now you are giving the same kind of selfish intention to God, that is, with God focusing on God. What's the difference? Bawa. Instead wouldn't God's intention be more like the selfless intention that we discussed earlier, that each of us can have, if we like, that is, the intention that God be there, as "One with" us, not that "we" be there as "separate from" God. And in this way, both intentions, both our intention and God's intention would be selfless, not selfish, both intentions would then be focusing on the success of the other, not on our own success? Bawa. For example, if you want to become a carpenter you have to become an apprentice of a skilled and licensed carpenter, and in this way learn to do what he does, by gradually demonstrating to the skilled and licensed carpenter that you can do what he is doing, that is, by correctly learning to do and complete, quicker and quicker each of the tasks that he gives to you. In this way, you become him, and in a sense, he becomes you, and on one level, you both become ONE. Right? Bawa. Now what Bawa teaches us that "God is doing" within each of us is telling His Story within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, so they have the Choice to again become "One with" Him again, or not, and leave behind all of their current "separation from" God, and all of their ignorance and arrogance about "who they are", and about "where they are", and about "what is happening" to them, that is, from their perspective of "separation from" God. Bawa. All of which is exactly what we are currently doing in our life, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that is, on the "outside" of us, and in this way, with "us" in our life on the illusory "outside" of us just mirroring what the Creation of God are doing within us, both of which is living a selfish life of "separation and differences". Bawa. But "what God is doing" within us is not like that, does not mirror the Creation of God within us, as we currently do, but rather what God is doing within us reflects God having transcended all of what the Creation of God are doing within us, with God within us having joined with God within Himself to discard all of this from within Himself within us, progressively becoming more and more of what He now is within us, which is "the Power within the Essence of Everything". Bawa. And in this way, becoming what is now "Within God" within us, which is the Essence of Everything, the Essence of God, and the Power of God within God within us, which is the Holy Trinity or Triple Flame of God within God within us, as well as becoming the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within God within us, and finally, becoming what "God is doing" with what is "Within God' within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, setting the stage for God to do it all again, that is for God to "Become God" again, but this time within each of us, if we like, that is, if our true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is the same as "God's Intention" for it, which is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to end up for eternity within us as either "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's, as it was God's Choice earlier within Himself, before He because God within us. Bawa. So God's "selfless" intention within us is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is something that God has started to do within each of us a very, very long time ago, even before we were born into this earth world within us. Bawa. But God had to stop doing this within each of us, that is, stop telling His Story within us, stop telling the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, when we, "Appeared on this earth world within us, Forgot God within us, and fell into many a trap on the "outside" of us, to the extent that now in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we do not know to seek ourselves within ourselves, although God still exists within us". [Note: This expanded version of this Quotation by this Child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), originally comes (in its non-expanded form) from the first paragraph of the "Forward" of the beautiful book of wisdom, "Guru Mani or The Pearl of Wisdom", by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, for the Choice to live this way, within God within us, allowing God within us to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. In access an on-line copy of the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com) please click above or HERE. And to access an on-line copy of the "Table of Contents" of the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), as well as to access more of the material in this book, please click above or HERE. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. That is, we "Forgot God" within us when we turned away from the "Presence of God" within us, when we because fascinated by the illusory life that we began to see in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, and in this way, we began to established "our presence" on the "outside" of us, while we were still experiencing the "Presence of God" within us. Bawa. But then ever so gradually we starting to live exclusive on the "outside" of us, no longer experiencing the "Presence of God" within us, and what is "Within God" within us, which are all of the Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, as well as the Triple Flame of God within God within us, Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen, and what God is doing with what is "Within God" within us, which is "Telling His Story" within us, and as a result, God Stopped telling His Story within us, and patiently and lovingly started to just sit within us waiting for us to turn back to Him within us, to "His Presence" within us, so He could finish His Story within us, and bring it To Completion within us. Bawa. That is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward, all according t the "Justice of God" within us, for according to the "Justice of God" that God placed within us, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive." Bawa. And in this way, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, in our ignorance, and now in our arrogance about our ignorance, we gradually became our current state, which is "us" now living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, with "us" continuing to try and live as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And all of which is our only sin, all of which truly represents "Our fall from Grace", as Adam (peace be upon Him) fell earlier within us, and all of which our parents worked very, very hard to get us to do, telling us, "This is your mother. This is your father. This is your race and religion. Etc.". Bawa. So the only correct and real goal or intention for our life, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, is our intention for the true birth and life within us, for our soul life within us, for the 6th life within us, not any imaginary intention that we may come up with for the false birth and life within us, that we are only experiencing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is all within us. Bawa. That is, the true intention for the true birth and life within us, for our soul life within us, for the 6th life within us, that "We" again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Ok? Bawa. With us joining in partnership with God within us to realize, understand, accept, and join with the truth of us, and of God within us, that in truth we are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and as such we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and that in truth God within us is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and as such, God within us is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within us, all of which makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story that we, like the apple seed, have come to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell. Amen. Bawa. And realizing, understanding, and accepting, without the slightest doubt, that our current life on the "outside" of us just a dream, and that the lives of darkness and evil within us, are most certainly real within us, but in truth represent a false reality within us, all of which in truth has grown and come to maturity within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, as the 5 elemental lives of darkness and evil within us, like weeds growing in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" of our heart within us, and that now rule over us as the 9 openings of this elemental body, with "God's Permission" within us. Bawa. All of which in truth is only leading us to hell within us, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, if we die to the flesh in our current state, that is, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God within us to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living in our current way on the "outside" of us, by closing down the world of hell within us, by closing down the world of jinns within us, and by closing down the world of fairies within us, by re-opening the world of souls within us, and then by opening the kingdom of God within us, all of which God will gladly do within us, if that is truly our Choice for our life, for the life within us, for our soul life, in partnership with God within us. Amen Bawa. And in this way, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, the only correct goal or intention for us, is for the soul life within us, for the 6th life within us, not for any illusory self living in the dream of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, or for the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies that have joined together within us, like a co-operative store, for profit, and that currently rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body. Bawa. That is, we must reject this illusory "outside" of us, and the very real but false current within us, in all things that we do, that is, in all things that God places before us, and make our intention in all things only serve God's intention within us, only serve the one true intention for our life, which is for our soul life within us, for the 6th life within us, that is, the intention that "We" again become "One with" God within us, that we again stand in the "Presence of God" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward, so God can again start to tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. In this way, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, the only correct goal or intention for our life is God's intention within us, which is truly selfless within us, not selfish, either in the illusory "outside" of us, or in the very real but false within us. Bawa. And in this way, an intention that support God within us, and what is "Within God" within us, and what "God is doing" within us, with what is "Within God" within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, an intention that supports God in what God is trying to accomplish within us, which is to tell His Story within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Bawa. The intention of God that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us, that is, that at the end of His Story, that there will no longer be anything still living as "separate from" God within us, that is, that in the end, everything within us, will have returned to "Oneness with" God within us. OK? Bawa. May we all learn to join in partnership with God within us, to do it like this, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, that is, to intend as God intends within us, before it is too late, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state and an eternal hell of "separation from" God becomes our eternal lot. Amen. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to Angela, and Jamilla, and Kareem, and to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Bawa. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And as always, please try to join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, as in truth this is the only way to "Intend as God Intends". Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Sorry, I dropped right off there for a few minutes. Let me go back and read what was written. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Ok? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Yes we need to have the intention to support God in what He is trying to do within us. Which is to complete the telling of His story within us, (for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen) MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. And how do we do that? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. By joining together with Him to complete the telling of His story? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. And how do we do that, or said another way, what prevents God from telling His Story within us, and what allows God to tell His Story within us? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. We prevent God from telling His story within us by thinking that we are separate from Him. What allows God to tell His story within us is for us to stop having the awareness of us being separate from Him and to start having the awareness of being one with Him. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. No. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Please tell me how. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. What prevents God from telling His Story within us - is "our presence" on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And what allows God to tell His Story within us - is "God's Presence" within us. Bawa. With "us" realizing that, "If we are there God is not there, and if God is there we are not there" Bawa. And with "us" realizing that, "We" can only establish "God's Presence" within us when our mind sits down within us, and that our mind will only sit down within us, when our wisdom stands up within us, and we can only get our wisdom to stand up within us by calling out the "Name of God" for our age, that is, by inviting our wisdom within us, and God within our wisdom, which lives in a tiny piece of flesh within us no bigger than an atom, to come into our mind and desire within us, which is where we currently live within us, and Rule over us, that is, Rule over everything that is within us, which it will gladly do, if we properly ask it to do that, that is, if we ask it as "One with" it, not as "separate from" it. Bawa. And with "us" realizing that when it is done with what we called it to do, then our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, will go back to Their place of residence within us, back to the tiny piece of flesh within us, leaving us again alone in our place of residence, within our mind and desire within us, that is, until we call Them again, and again, and again, until like this child, we make calling our wisdom within us, and God within our wisdom, our life. Bawa. That is, we make calling our wisdom within us, and God within our wisdom, with each breath, with each look, with each word, with each taste, with each though, the way that we live our life, for example, like putting the word "Bawa" before each paragraph when we write, like this child has learned to do, and in this way, inviting Them to Rule over us, to Rule over our life, and ever facet of it, day in and day out, in the morning and at night, and during each hour, and moment between, for such is the commitment that has grown within this child, that is, making Bawa within us, and God within Him, the way we walk through our life, as "One with" our wisdom, and with God within Him, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. And the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, for our age, that is the name of the life and teaching of God for our age, is the name of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the Name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen. MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Amen. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Enough for tonight? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Yes, I believe that is enough for tonight. So the answer to the question of how to let the dialogue between this child (or any child) and his Shaikh become more constant and more clearly understood is to establish God's Presence within us by saying the name of Bawa within us before we say or do anything? MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Yes, Yes, Yes. Bawa. And there is no other way to do this, for everything else that you do is just "selfishness", is just the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the "outside" of you, which is only leading you to an eternal hell of "separation from" God within you. Bawa. And what "we" did tonight, "In the Name of God" for our age, in the "Presence of God" within us, is to receive something from God within us that we can use, each day, to more easily make this same journey everyday, that is, from "selfishness" to "selflessness", from "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "God's Presence" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use what we have been given, to do this each day, to do this many times a day, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. So my dearest loving brother of the One Open Heart of God for our age, please make a copy of this sharing, and read it everyday, when you first get up in the morning, and before you go to bed at night, and several times between, so you solidify this clarity within you, about the only way you can ever again become "One with" God within you, which is by "Using God to Get to God" within you, in this way, stopping all of your trying to use "you", in your current state, to get to God. Ok? MMSulaiman11: Bawa. Okay, I will do that. Meechum anbu my dear brother. Please give my love and salaams to your beautiful wife Crisi and to the rest of your loving family. Go in peace until we meet again at the feet of our Father Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Anbu. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Good. Bawa. Thank you for your kind words. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of "E-mail Version" of - Spiritual Chat 265 - ............................ |
