From "Inner To Inner" ... To "Outer To Outer" ... Is Extremely Difficult... For Farlan And Muftiah...!

Muftiah remembers meeting a young... second generation... SUBUD Brother... in Vancouver... Canada... who... upon meeting them... and being sensitively Aware... instantly recognized... their particular type... of Jiwa to Jiwa Bond... and how he commisserated with them... shaking his head in sympathy...!

Commenting on how much more difficult it was... for a married couple... to grow from "Inner to Inner" ... to "outer to outer" ... than from "outer to outer" ... to "Inner to Inner"... which was usually the case... adding that their situation... was a real doozie... and a Golden Feather... in their caps... if they succeeded...! Today... after some thirty plus years... she feels that they have...

Farlan and Muftiah... also both worship their Creator... Allah Almighty God... the SUBUD Way... totally... and unconditionally... to the same degree... unconditionally meaning... that neither of them pray for... or hope for... or expect anything... in particular... for themselves... from Him...

Soon realizing... as they met... and instantly Felt... the Powerful Life Force of Almighty God... Pulsating Strongly... within their beings... that it was indeed... the Will of Almighty God... that they become husband and wife...!

And after reluctant Muftiah... finally accepted him... as her husband... they both promised each other... that they would more than gladly endure... whatever He Willed for them... to experience... in order to ultimately become human beings... of excellent character... in their roles... as husband and wife... and become towards one another... as He Would have them be...

In effecting this perfect... Jiwa to Jiwa union... they were constantly Made... to confront each other... Not Allowed... to have any secrets... from one another... whatsoever...!

Whittled away at... their characters... personalities... individualism... in short... in all the ways... as they had known themselves... Ground Down... to the Whites... of their Bones... Honed... Shaved... and Polished... to a Fine Gloss... again and again... almost to the end of endurance... even to the point of total annihilation...!

All the while... of their Jiwa to Jiwa Training... they were Permitted... very little socializing... with others... to speak of... very few distractions... whenever alone together... but frequently Made... to be each other's mirrors... reflecting each other's adamant ideas... and opinions... about how a marriage should work... becoming each other's catalyst... for the shattering... and breaking down... of all preconcieved notions... and opinions... they had each cultivated... through their civilized years... of sophisticated living... on this planet...!

Until finally... they were Forced to realize... that only by "letting go... and letting God" ... Remold... and Reshape them... and Guide them... in their day to day living... could their Holy Union of marriage... flourish... according to His Distinct... Perfect Will for the two of them... His sincere... loving children...
