Ninety Days In March...!
Chapter 17
How Muftiah Is Terrifyingly Stopped... By Allah Almighty God... From Attending Group Latihan... In A Church...!
For the very first time... after arriving in Denver... now in their third year of marriage... Farlan and Muftiah... Were Permitted... to relate to one another... a little bit... from their hearts... and just for a little while... dining out... at fine restaurants... going to the movies... cuddling... and holding hands... and for a great change... not fighting... or arguing at all...!
But as far as Group Latihan... was concerned... it soon became evident... that it was still taboo for Muftiah... although she continued to Receive... the Latihan Kejiwaan... daily... not only in her daily Latihan Shower... but Spontaneousy throughout the day... and night... as well...
She had been welcomed... with such open arms... by the Denver SUBUD Group... the ladies... thrilled... calling her a Godsend... for they desperately needed... another Helper...
And happy as a lark... she right away... had been more than willing... to Latihan... with a sick lady Sister... in her own home...!
But during her second attendance... at Group Latihan... as she found herself... Being Made... To Kneel... in surrender... to the Power Of Allah's Great Holy Life Force... Gently Pulsating... Inside Her... a strange feeling of Unease... swept through her... that she actually did not belong there... just like that unforgettable... Miraculous Night... at the Santa Cruz... SUBUD House... when she was Abruptly... and Forcefully... Catapulted Out Of The Ladies Latihan Hall... Through A Closed Door...!
And she wondered... fearfully... whether she was about to be Ejected... by the Power of God... from the church... as well...!
But instead... she Was Given a Divine Revelation... that the SUBUD Members... of Denver... who were renting the church... were actually regarding themselves... as inferior to it... and therefore... they were not exalting... the Power Of God's Grace... through the Latihan Kejiwaan... of SUBUD... as they should have been...!
For it was a fact... that the SUBUD Way of Worshipping God... through the Latihan Kejiwaan... which meant through one's Jiwa (Inner self) ... only... being one's Higher Force... was way above the church's way... where the congregation... worshipped God... only through the lower forces... of their impure hearts and minds...!
And then... as she felt sadly ashamed... on behalf of her fellow SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... she felt a Choking Sensation... And Was Told... By her Creator... her Heavenly Father... Allah Almighty God... To Her Great Consternation... His Voice Sounding Like A Roar... As He Commanded Her...:
"You Are Not To Worship Me Here...! And If You Ever Come Back... I Shall Choke You To Death...!
And after a brief silence... as she... trembling with fear... continued Being Made To Kneel... still feeling... as if she was About To Be Choked To Death... she heard Him Say...:
"You Are To Leave This Church Immediately... And Await My Will For You...!"
And Now Being Allowed... to get to her feet... she quickly gathered up her belongings... and immediately left the church... coming face to face with Farlan... who had Received.... the very same Message... That He Was To Leave The Church Immediately... And Never Return There Again... but without the Threat... of Being Choked To Death... if he disobeyed... his Creator's Command...!
When Farlan and Muftiah found out later... that the Group had once actually owned... their own SUBUD House... and had sold it... it was very difficult... for them to understand... why they had not fasted... moving heaven and earth... to keep it... sadly realizing... even more... that SUBUD... and the SUBUD Way of Life... really were not as paramount to them... as they should have been... and that they were not truly appreciating... the Miraculous Grace... that their Creator... Almighty God... Had Bestowed Upon them...!
It was obvious... that the Group... harbored a secretive mentality... as far as their affiliation to SUBUD... was concerned...!
And that they would never wholeheartedly proclaim... to the Christian church... in their total conviction... that worshipping their Creator... Almighty God... from the Higher Force of one's Jiwa... the SUBUD Way... was far more superior... than just worshipping Him... from the lower forces... of one's heart and mind... which is what religion... is all about... for they were loath... to be offensive... to any of its pastors...!
When... through their own volume... of Spiritual Experiences... of the proof... about the Latihan Kejiwaan... in their lives... where their Creator... Spontaneously Moved their Limbs... and Activated their Voices... etc. ... during their half hour of worship... they could have so easily explained... the Basis and Aim... of SUBUD... to the pastors... given to them... by the Holy Man of God... Bapak... himself... and gotten all the Inner selves... of them... Gloriously "Opened..." and "Awakened..." into the Miracle of SUBUD...!
They could have also told the good pastors... about the three... devout Anglican ministers... who were in the habit... of regularly praying together...
And of how... during one such occasion... Jesus Suddenly Appeared to them... Saying...:
"If Ye Seek The Truth... Seek Ye SUBUD...!
Resulting in their... and other Anglican ministers... becoming joyously "Opened..." ... and "Awakened..."... into SUBUD... and the Anglican Missions... all over the world... always opening their doors... and welcoming... their kindred SUBUD Brothers and Sisters...!
Sad to say... over the years... both Farlan and Muftiah have heard remarks... by some SUBUD Members... claiming that SUBUD... is not the only True Way... to worship God... and that there were other Spiritual Ways...!
And Farlan and Muftiah would remember... their Beloved Spiritual Father... Bapak... explaining to his SUBUD children... that in fact... all the other Spiritual Ways... such as yoga... and meditation... and so on... were of man... sincerely trying... to reach up to God... which is actually impossible...!
And that only by one... sincerely... and patiently... submitting oneself... in unconditional surrender... to one's Creator... unconditional... meaning... that one would neither ask for... nor pray for... nor hope for... nor expect anything in particular... for oneself... such as through the SUBUD Way... would prove to their Creator... that His Created souls... truly had faith... and utter trust in Him...!
And as their reward... He Would Reach Down to His faithful Created souls... And Bless Them... Male And Female Alike... By Filling Their Beings... With His Great Holy Life Force... Once Their Inner Selves... Were "Opened..." And "Awakened..." To Receive It...
And This Would Usually Happen... While The Sincere Soul Stood... With His Eyes Closed... Quietly... Patiently... And Sincerely... Surrendered To His Creator... In The Presence... Of A Soul... Already Inwardly "Opened..." ... And "Awakened..."
And Who... While Also Sincerely Surrendered... Becomes The Channel... To Pass On The Contact... With Almighty God's Great Holy Life Force... Which The Now Inwardly "Opened..." ... And "Awakened..." Soul... Should Feel... Like A Gentle Vibration... Within His Being...
And Just Like A Lifeless Puppet... He Should Patiently Wait... For Almighty God... "To Pull His Strings..." ...Which Means... To Activate His Dormant Spiritual Self...!
Submitting The Whole Of Himself... To His Creator... In Unconditional Surrender... Desiring Nothing... Except That The Perfect Will Of Almighty God... Be Done Unto Him...
Wherein Perfect Guidance... And Direction... Would Be Given... For The Moments... Of Each Puppet Soul's Life... Felt Inside Each Individual... Differently... According To His Innate Nature... Character... And Personality... The Quality Of Which... Is Known Only To God... Who Created Him...
Since SUBUD is neither a new religion... nor a Teaching... for everyone to follow... in the same way... but solely a Process... for one's Spiritual Growth and Development... nowhere else... will you find a group of people... of all different religions... and even no religions... different customs... and traditions... and different races... all assembled together... in worship of their Creator... as in SUBUD...!
Being one hundred percent SUBUD... and only SUBUD... and glorying... to be so uniquely Blessed... Farlan and Muftiah... Received to offer their elegant... spacious apartment... as a truly quiet... SUBUD place... to Worship Allah Almighty God in... to which only one SUBUD Sister... Amanah... perfectly understanding Muftiah's frightening Experience... in the church... had the wonderful courage... to come... for a while...
But then... perhaps through being pressured... by the SUBUD Sister Helpers... she returned to the church... with her Sisters... intimating to her... that they were glad... that she had recognized... the error of her ways... and come to her senses...!
And Farlan and Muftiah's good intentions... alas... were misunderstood... and they were falsely accused... of trying to break up the Denver SUBUD Group...!
And Muftiah received a scathing... scolding letter... from the Regional Helper... a stranger to her... who... she was given to understand... never came to the Denver Group... to worship her Creator... with her kindred SUBUD Sisters... in the Latihan Kejiwaan of SUBUD...!
And another Regional Helper... SUBUD Brother... Leonard Dixon... also a stranger to Farlan and Muftiah... living way out in the Midwest... having heard about the situation... with the Hateleys... in Denver... sought his own Guidance... and Received... that they were totally innocent...!
God Bless you... Brother Leonard... and thank you... most sincerely... for supporting us...
As you will read here... we were unable to meet you... as arranged... en route to California... from Denver... because Muftiah... had a very bad car accident... totalling her car... on a treacherous... icy mountain road... and despite her Miraculous Deliverance... from getting killed... as a consequence... had to return to Denver...!
