At The Very Beginning Of The Ramadan Fast... After About Eighteen Months... Of Living In The Northwest State of Washington... Farlan Receives... That They Are To Relocate... Once Again... This Time Back To California...!

With Farlan having Received... that it was time for them... to leave the state of Washington... and return to California... they immediately obeyed the Holy Command...

And as the Holy month... of the Ramadan Fast began... in 1982... Muftiah... at the age of fifty-two and a half... and still looking twenty years younger... and in her 21st year in SUBUD... began to feel a strange feeling of detachment... from the world... and the feeling... which persisted... as the days went by... often made her feel... as if she was floating... above the earth...!

They had heard... that SUBUD people... should never travel... during the month of Ramadan... but stay in one's familiar environment... remaining peaceful and calm... and aware of one's love for God...

So they were a little puzzled... at His Command... that they should leave the area right away...!

They spent the month of Ramadan... living in their school bus... with "Another Great Adventure!" ... emblazoned in large letters... on its sides...!

Farlan had purchased it... from a senior citizen's club... in Denver... and removing the seats... had cleverly converted it... into a comfortable RV... for them... complete with kitchen... and shower stall...!

Now they were parked... on the property... of their dear SUBUD friends... Hanafi... and his wife... Rosada Russell... in Sebastopol... California...

Although they enjoyed their company... going down to the Russian River with them... on picnics... the confined space... of their RV... which was not air conditioned... and in ninety degree heat... quickly became unbearable for them...

Furthermore... they felt restricted... in the RV... as far as having plenty of room... for the Spontaneous Spiritual Movements... Which Might Be Activated... by the Power of God... during their Latihan Kejiwaans... was concerned...

So they bid their dear friends... a fond farewell... thanking them for their hospitality... and drove further down... to the Marin SUBUD House.. where they hooked the school bus/ RV... up to the building...

And it was a great joy... to be reunited... with Brothers and Sisters... they had not seen... for quite a number of years... worshipping Almighty God... together with them... in the Latihan Kejiwaan... of SUBUD... once more...

Muftiah even had a most interesting... special Sick Latihan... with a terminally ill... young SUBUD Sister... who was dying of cancer...!

And as had happened... so many times... in the past... she naturally expected... to Receive Guidance... that she should be a Divine Channel... for Almighty God... To Heal her... believing that He Had Sent her... to the Marin SUBUD House... during the month of Ramadan... especially for this sick young woman...!

But instead... to her amazement... she Was Told... that she was not to be healed... because it was her time... to leave earth...!
