Muftiah Comes To Understand... Her Strange Detached Feeling... When She Gets A Shocking... Puzzling Message... From Her Dear Guardian Angel Friend... In Their New Home... In Daly City...!

Over the years... Farlan and Muftiah... came to realize... that their income... seemed to conform... to the current needs... of their living conditions - lower rent... lower income... higher rent... higher income...!

And they always Received... not only what state... or county... they should live in... but also the area... which was always... in a decent neighborhood... and the very apartment building... with their new home... to always be on the top floor...!

They remembered Bapak's advice... about not being afraid... to aim high... for as long... as they sincerely worshipped Almighty God... through the SUBUD Way... all their needs... would always be met... and this has most certainly been proven to them... time and time again... over the years...

Recalling how Beloved Bapak... would remind... his SUBUD children... that it is not the Will Of Almighty God... that His children... need to suffer poverty... and hardship... at all times... but only sometimes... and only for their necessary Spiritual Growth... and Development... while living on earth...

So that they will be able to Move their Spiritually "Awakened" Limbs... and utter Sounds... with their Spiritually "Awakened" Voices... in the Glory... of their eternal Afterlives...

And since they had never Been Allowed... to insure their lives... nor save any money... except once... for their trip to see Bapak... on his World Tour... in San Francisco... and in Vancouver... Canada... Farlan and Muftiah... lived largely... on their utter Trust... and Faith in Allah Almighty God... their Creator...

So... with just about $600... in their pockets... from the recent sale they held... at the Marin SUBUD House... they searched the San Francisco area... the city known for its high rents... and low availability... finding most places... requiring a first and last month's rent... plus large security deposits... making the total cost... too high for them...

Muftiah still felt lost... and spaced out... and off the earth... but Farlan was on a wonderful Spiritual high... full of Almighty God's Great Holy Life Force... Powerfully Vibrating inside him...!

And after a few days... of their school bus/RV... being hooked up... to the Marin SUBUD House... he Was Soon Led to a place... they could afford... because of the simple fact... that no security deposit... was required of them...!

A spacious... airy apartment... on the top fourth floor... of an apartment building... on top of a hill... in Daly City... with a gorgeous view... of the Golden Gate Bridge... in the distance... from their balcony... situated in a lovely area... with a cool ocean breeze... and sweeping morning and evening fog... just perfect for their needs...

And always having Received... that they should always try to live... on the top floor... of an apartment building... with no one above them... they moved into their lovely new... repainted top floor apartment... in Daly City... on the 3rd of September... 1982...

Naturally... Muftiah expected to settle in... with her usual enthusiasm... for a new home... and environment... but again she was struck... by the same sense... of odd detachment... which was most unlike... her usual pioneering Aries spirit... always eager for the new... and the unknown...!

A few days... after settling into their new home... with boxes and boxes... of their worldly goods... sitting all over the floors... still unpacked... also most unusual... for her... with Farlan fast asleep... in their bedroom... Muftiah... always having been a night owl... and sitting alone... in the spacious living room... decided to watch the late night movie... on TV...

The 11 o'clock News was still on... so she sat back... on their roomy couch... watching the screen... without sound... because she didn't want to hear any sad reports... about the escalating chaos... in the world...

But as a news clip... of a very bad car accident... flashed on the screen... she suddenly heard the familiar Voice... of her lifelong Friend... and Rescuer... her Guardian Angel... Speaking in her right ear... as usual... Saying...:

"That Is The Way You Are Going To Go...!"

Which Divine Message... made her sit bolt upright... and ask...:

"Another car accident...?"

(She had almost died... in a car crash... about four years earlier... the Miraculous story of which... you can read all about... both in "Shadow"... and also here... under a Chapter heading... listed in the Table of Contents... of this book... in a Part... re "Denver...")

And His Answer... immediately came back...:

"No... Not Another Car Accident...!"

Naturally... Muftiah was very puzzled... for what she saw... in front of her... was most definitely... a car accident...! What else could it mean...?!

Then a beautiful close-up... of Princess Grace Kelly... flashed on the screen... and having been very fond of her... as an actress... Muftiah became intrigued... and got up... to flip the sound up... but she was too late... All she heard was the tail end of the news report... that Grace Kelly... had subsequently died... in hospital...!

Muftiah was saddened... puzzled... and greatly perturbed... all at the same time... being unable to make sense... of what had just occurred...!

Suddenly feeling tired... and losing all interest... to watch the late night movie... she decided to go to bed... trusting that Almighty Allah... Would Clear up her Guardian Angel's most puzzling Divine Message... for her... later on... when it was the right time... for her to know...
