Ninety Days In March...!
Chapter 38
How Two Devoted Children Of God... Nadia And Dimitri... Are Introduced To... And Deeply Touched... In Their Souls... By The Miracle... Of The Holy Word "SUBUD"... In A Very Unusual Way... Exceedingly Blessing... And Transforming Them... Forever...!
This humble to God soul... experienced a most extraordinary Magical Night... in Bulawayo Southern Rhodesia... when the Holy Word of "SUBUD"... touched her so deeply... that it had left an empty... aching void inside her soul... ever since...!
When the Extraordinary Miracle happened... I was newly divorced... from a miserable three years... of a poignant... never consummated marriage... to a younger blond giant... with a heart as big as the ocean... but who happened to be mentally unbalanced...!
And I had narrowly escaped... from being strangled to death by him... with the timely Help... of my Guardian Angel Friend... when he had finally tried to kill me...!
About to sign the Marriage Certificate... at the Bulawayo City Hall... I Had Been Warned... Not to Sign it... by my Guardian Angel Friend...! But had anyway... against the Will of God... mainly out of gratitude... because the young giant... my ardent fan... had nursed me... a total stranger... devotedly... through my seven month long coma...!
(Our pathetically sad... so-called marriage.. of about three years... is fully described... under the Part relating to... "The Poignant Saga Of Nadia And Brian..." ... as shown in the Table of Contents..." )
This trying to be humble to God soul... at the age of about thirty... and by the Grace of God... still looking like a teenager... and using her middle name... Nadia... professionally... as a singer... was happily enjoying a reunion... with her magnificent Greek Adonis... her kindred in spirit... lover and protector of old... fascinating Dimitri... from Salisbury...!
She had had no contact... whatsoever... with him... during those poignantly sad... three years... with him keeping away from her... out of respect for her marriage... to Brian...!
She had just moved... into her brand new apartment... a few days earlier... and was sitting... late at night... relaxing... and enjoying her freedom... dressed in her silk lilac lounging pajamas... after having just entertained... a large... appreciative audience... at the prestigious Sheraton Hotel...
And on this Magical Night... as always... Dimitri... of the strangest color eyes... and flaming red hair... bowled her over... when she suddenly saw him.. as large as life... standing in her living room...!
He had teletransported himself... right through the wall... into her living room... in Bulawayo... all the way from Salisbury... some thirty miles away... like he used to do... when she lived there... telling her... that an Angel of God... Had Appeared To Him... In His Dream That Night... With The Wonderful News... That She Was Free... And That He Should Go To Her... Right Away...!
And as they sat cozily together... with Whiskie... her adored... black and white... cocker spaniel's head... resting on his lap... who had been a loving gift from Brian... as a substitute... for her to love... before they could completely catch up... on each other's lives... over the last three years... something quite extraordinary happened...!
First of all... little Whiskie... suddenly sat bolt upright... and he started whimpering... staring straight ahead of him... with his soft... expressive brown eyes... as huge as saucers...!
And then... as the atmosphere around them... became Still...
something Materialized... on Nadia's coffee table... right in front of them...!
Nadia thought it was one of Dimitri's magical feats... for when she lived in Salisbury...he had introduced her... to the fascinating world of the supernatural... to levitation... astral travel... mental telepathy... teletransportation... etc...!
The latter... being his favorite mode... of going from place to place...he had often walked... right through the glass... of her locked French glass doors... when she was single... and needed his help...!
Once... to save her... while she was innocently... going down her long list... of suffering souls... who had written to her... absorbed in their Absent Healing... during what he warned her... was called the dangerous time... of midnight... the "witching hour..."!
And yet another time... while she was being scolded... by a young Catholic priest... about her heathen healing practices... flooring the good man of God... when he saw a tall... magnificent specimen... of a male... with flaming red hair... walk right through the glass... of her French glass doors... as she was graciously serving him... some tea...!
And flabbergasting him... still further... when she found herself... suddenly asking him... without intending to... about the ugly... embarrassing... large growth... under his armpit... and about his right knee... as she instantly became a Divine Channel... To Heal his years of afflictions... making a fervent believer... and friend... out of him... from then on...!
Or whenever unhappily married Dimitri... whose young wife did not share his fascination... with the supernatural... in the least... longed to be with his beloved... for a little cuddling... never insisting on sexual intercourse... because he knew how frightened she was... of the act... but teaching her wonderful... other ways... to give each other pleasure... he would come striding through... her locked French glass doors... to spend a few loving hours... with his precious love...!
Leaning forward... Nadia noticed... that the innocent looking object... on her coffee table... was some kind of catalogue booklet... when she saw... "The Mystic Book Shop of London..." ... printed... very quaintly... on its cover...!
She looked at her dearest Dimitri... questioningly... whose psychic Greek mother... had taught him... all about the supernatural... when he was twelve... having told them... that they had been together... as one... in a previous lifetime... but he looked just as puzzled... as she was...!
And as they looked at each other... the air around them... became even more Holy and Still... and they both became aware... that something Quite Extraordinary... Was Taking Place...!
Feeling full of reverent awe and wonder... Nadia... who now stood at five feet eleven inches tall... suddenly found herself... down on her knees... and as she tentatively reached out her hand... to pick the Magical little Booklet up... its pages fell open... to a page... that was advertising some books...!
Her eyes were immediately drawn... to the left hand side of the little page... where she saw a book and its cost advertised... noticing that it was the only book shown... in bold print... and that it was titled... "Concerning SUBUD"... by John Bennett...!
And upon seeing the Holy Word of "SUBUD"... for the very first time in her life... Nadia felt as if she was humbly standing... before her Beloved Heavenly Father... and that yet another... enormous Revelation... Was About To Be Given to her...!
And as Nadia... feeling full of awed reverence... towards Him... looked down... and slowly read the title... of the book... out loud... and said the Holy Word of "SUBUD"... for the very first time... in her life... pronouncing it correctly... as "SOOBOOD..." ... she experienced...:
A Strange Kind Of Flutter... Flitting Across The Inside... Of Her Chest...!
And when Dimitri... noticing how his beloved's face had become transfigured... into a beautiful Radiance... also stood up... towering above her... like a magnificent Greek god... then fell to his knees... beside her... and also reverently read the Holy Word of "SUBUD..."... out loud... he experienced...:
The Sensation... Of A Very Strong Explosion... Inside His Chest...!
And as they looked at each other... thoroughly overcome... at what Had Just Transpired... with Dimitri's face... now also Glowing... with an Inner Radiance... the Holy... Still atmosphere... around them... became Filled with the Fragrance... of the Heavenly Scent of Roses...!
Full of wide-eyed awe... and wonder... they realized... that an Angel Of God... Was Present... as their Holy Witness...!
And with Dimitri now... also Radiantly Transformed... looking at each other... in awe... they both knew... that all their years of searching... for a Holy Path... that would lead them straight back to God... had finally come to an end...!
And Nadia instantly knew... with every fiber... of her being... that all her years... of desperately searching... for a True Spiritual Path... That Would Lead her... Straight Back... To Her Heavenly Father... Almighty God... where she would no longer feel... a sense of limitation... as she had... so many times... before... in the past... in following various Spiritual Paths... had finally... Hallelujah... come to a Glorious end...!
And that the Path Of SUBUD... Would Be The Path... That Would Truly Lead her... Straight Back... To Her Beloved Heavenly Father... Almighty God... And That Through SUBUD... she Would Be Given... A Sense Of her Blissful... Glorious Eternity... In Paradise...!
In fact... that sense of Limitless Eternity... has really come true for her... For even just a yesterday... already seems... like a century ago... and hard to recall...!
Because... in the SUBUD Way Of Life... one really and truly... only lives... in the present... giving the whole... of each yesterday... back to one's Creator... Almighty God...!
Except in the instances... of periodic Purification... when Almighty God... Very Gently... and in Gradual Degrees... that can be borne... by the particular soul... Makes His loved son... or daughter... look back... upon their mistakes... and sins... one by one...
Feel the painful... Spiritual Reality... of what each one was... and hopefully learn from them... and never make the same mistakes... or commit the same sins... ever... again... since one can easily be Reminded... of the very real... painful Purification Process... of each one of them...!
So that... each time... Almighty God... Mercifully Shows us... the Spiritual Reality... of our wicked ways... there truly is no excuse... to commit them again...!
Thus began an aching yearning... inside Nadia... And she wasted no time... immediately ordering... John Bennett's book... from "The Mystic Book Shop of London..." ... the very next day... paying for it... since Dimitri... in his immediate teletransportation to her... had not thought it necessary... to bring any money with him...!
And with Dimitri... visiting her... in the same way... every night thereafter... they both happily awaited its arrival...
But alas... the very precious... eagerly awaited book... was not delivered...!
And when she wrote to "The Mystic Book Shop of London..."... inquiring why... they had not yet... sent the pre-paid book to her... indicating that it had been... already three weeks... since she had ordered it... there was no response from them... whatsoever...! Neither when she wrote to them... a second... nor a third time...!!!???
And while she waited... for the precious book... to arrive... with an almost unbearable... aching longing... inside her... she decided to seek the precious book... or anything else about SUBUD... in all the book stores... throughout the city of Bulawayo...
She also asked all her adoring fans... and becoming desperate... even strangers on the street... about more and more elusive SUBUD... and got the strangest reactions from them...!
In fact... anyone... and everyone... she came across... reacted with peculiarly blank... shocked faces... claiming that they had never heard... of the book... or about SUBUD... some of them getting all flustered... and looking suddenly uncomfortably exposed... blushing... stammering... and stuttering... barely able to say the Holy Word...!!!???
While yet others reacted startled... as if hit in the chest... by the Holy Word...!
And the aching yearning... inside Nadia... grew stronger... and stronger... and deeper... and deeper... as she desperately... tried to find... John Bennett's book... all her inquiries... at book stores... asking her friends... office co-workers... her adoring public... at the different places she performed... yielding absolutely nothing...!
Dimitri... whose soul was also yearning for SUBUD... likewise tried to find the precious book... throughout the city of Salisbury... which was much larger than Bulawayo... and getting the same kinds of reactions...and not being successful either...!
This yearning for SUBUD soul... was to wait... another l-o-o-ong... agonizing year... Being Taught Patience... one of the most important... necessary qualities... for worshipping Almighty God... the SUBUD Way...
And only when she... being a fiercely independent... strong-willed... impetuous... defiantly willful... impulsive Aries soul... Was Brought Down Low... to utter helplessness... with no strength left... hospitalized... yet again... back in Johannesburg... South Africa... Was she finally Led.. Directly to SUBUD... by an Angel of God...!
But first... as sick and helpless as she was... with tubes inserted into her body... suffering with yet another kidney infection... she was to once again... become a channel for Divine Healing... because there were again thirteen souls... just like when she lay ill in hospital in Salisbury... with a ruptured appendix...whom her Heavenly Father... Willed to be Miraculously Healed... through her... Sending an Angel of God... to all the thirteen patients... in their dreams... telling them to go to her... to be Healed...!
Dimitri and Nadia... had become separated... when he was forced to sell his leather goods store... in Salisbury... and return to Greece... a few months after their joyous reunion... with them promising each other... to never rest... until they had found SUBUD... and to keep in touch with each other...
(You can read all about this humble to God soul's years... as a Spiritual Healer... in both South Africa... and in Southern... and Northern Rhodesia... and her very unusual... wonderful... intimate association... with her dear kindred in spirit lover... and protector... Dimitri... under references to the Part... describing her life... in "Southern Rhodesia..." ... in the Table of Contents listing... of this... her Spiritual Odyssey...)
And now... here she was... back in Johannesburg... at the General Hospital... flat on her back... suffering... with yet another kidney infection... an affliction... which had plagued her... all her life... with no idea... that she had only one functioning kidney... the other one... shriveled up... and never developed...!
(However... she is happy to say... that through the Miracle of the Latihan Kejiwaan... of SUBUD... she discovered... when she found herself hospitalized... at the Cape Canaveral Hospital.. in Florida... with yet another bout of chronic cystitis... which had also plagued her... for many years... now being in her eighth year in SUBUD... that her shriveled up kidney... had fully developed... some time during the last four years... since the last X-Ray taken... when she was in her fourth year in SUBUD...!)
She happened to be in the same room with her beloved husband Mark... at the time... who was there because of horrible burns sustained... from a gas tank explosion... in Antigua...!
Having given up all hope... of ever finding this Magical... elusive "SUBUD..." ... in South Africa... which had Stirred her... so deeply... thinking to herself... gloomily... that SUBUD was probably only available... in England... and she would have to save up some serious money... for her all important trip... to The Mystic Book Shop of London... itself... to find it... she was amazed... when another Miracle Happened...!
Chapter 38-A
This Most Willing Servant Of God... Is Once More Called Upon... By Her Beloved Heavenly Father... To Be His Channel... For The Miraculous Healing... Of Again Thirteen Patients... Despite The Fact... That She... Herself... Is Lying Gravely Ill... In Hospital...!
First... she had an Angel Dream... in which she Was Told... that... upon awakening... she should be willing... to do... what would be asked of her... without question... or hesitation... of any kind...!
And when she awoke... there were the patients... of the general ward... with her... all thirteen of them... having become her friends... during the month... she was hospitalized... crowded around her bedside... anxiously waiting... for her to open her eyes...!
And as soon as they saw... that she was awake... despite all the tubes... still inserted... into various parts... of her body... they started to excitedly babble to her... about their identical Angel Dreams... in which they were Told... that... immediately upon awakening... they were to go to their new co-patient friend... Graziella... (or Grace...) ... to be Healed by her...!
Just like the time... about four years earlier... when she was lying flat... on her back... in hospital... in Salisbury... Southern Rhodesia... recuperating from her appendix operation... and adjustment... of the retroverted womb... she was born with...!
That none of the eleven gynecologists... she had seen... in South Africa... for D and C's... because of her heavy monthly bleeding... who had all hospitalized her... nor the abortionist... had ever bothered... to tell her about...!
Neither had any of them... ever bothered to tell her... about the fact... that she only had one fully functioning kidney...!
When one patient... after another... in Salisbury... thirteen of them... had come to her bedside... telling her... about how an Angel of God... Had Appeared... to them... in their dreams... Telling them that... immediately upon awakening... they were to go to their friend... to be healed by her...!
Remembering her own Angel Dream... of Heavenly Instruction... Graziella... now a patient of the General Hospital... in Johannesburg... did what she always did... in cases of Spiritual Healing... as she had... in the hospital in Salisbury...
She told again... all thirteen of her patient friends... to go back to their beds... lie down... and quieten themselves... and also empty their minds... of all thoughts... and wait patiently... for her to call them... one by one... to her bedside...
Attending to all thirteen... of her new co-patient friends... one by one... only one of whom she knew... as a co-worker... from the time she had briefly worked for the Swiss Consulate... shortly after arriving in South Africa... from Zurich Switzerland... she could Feel... the Power of God... Flowing through her fingers... as with her eyes closed... she lay her tubed hands on them...!
And despite the fact... that she was lying flat... on her back... much too weak... to be able to even sit up... while the poison... was loudly drip.. drip... dripping... out of her body... through a tube... inserted into her diseased kidney... into a bucket... on the floor... at the side of her hospital bed...!
After the last patient... had Received the Wonderful Blessing... of the Grace from God... through her... as His most willing Channel... suddenly feeling exhausted... she fell into a deep sleep... with no idea... that this last Healing Session... was to be her last... for a good many years...!Chapter 38-B
After This Soul's Obedience... To Her Heavenly Father... To Be His Willing Channel... For The Healing Of His Chosen Thirteen Patients... She Is Extremely Blessed... To Finally Be Led... Straight To Longed For... Elusive SUBUD... By Her Life-long Guardian Angel Friend...!
And when she awoke... she noticed that the atmosphere around her... was pitch dark... and very... very quiet...!
And then her Guardian Angel Friend... Whose Voice... she had periodically Heard... in her right ear... over the years... to Warn her... but Whom she had not Seen... since she was a day short of her fifth birthday... when He Miraculously Rescued her... from her Chinese kidnappers... suddenly Appeared to her... once again...!
Only this time... instead of in a terrifying... pitch black... dank cellar... lying bound and gagged... it was at the foot... of her hospital bed...!
She was still lying... flat on her back... feeling very weak... and the tubes... were still inserted in her body... so it must have been very late at night... after that morning's long Healing Session...
And now... in the hospital ward... in Johannesburg... her Guardian Angel Friend... Was Commanding her... To Sit Up... And Rip All The Six Tubes... Out Of Her Body...!
And trusting Him... before her courage failed her... she obeyed His Command... realizing... as she pulled all the tubes... out of her body... that He Was Giving her the familiar... Superhuman Strength... she needed... to do so...!
And suddenly... and Miraculously... all Healed... without spilling a single drop of blood... her Savior Guardian Angel... who now looked... like an ordinary... handsome man... immaculately dressed... in a snow white suit... although there was a beautiful Radiance about Him... Bid Her To Get Up... And Get Dressed...
And obeying... as she dressed herself... in the bathroom... she marveled how her strength... had been Miraculously Restored to her...!
Then... Taking her by her hand... Her lifelong... Guardian Angel Friend... Steered her... out of the hospital... the two of them... striding right by doctors... and nurses... unnoticed... as if they had become invisible...! With Graziella at now five foot eleven... and her Guardian Angel... even taller...!
And when they walked together... through the hospital doors... Graziella was amazed to see... that it was bright sunlight outside...!
And as they stood together... with her wondering... what to do next... she looked up... squinting... at her handsome Escort... barely able to see Him... because the combination... of His snow white suit... and the bright sunlight... were blinding her...!
But then she managed to see His Arm Go up... Pointing to a little corner tearoom... across the street... which she had never noticed before... in all the eleven times... she had been hospitalized there... for D and C's... and kidney infections... over the years...!
And when she turned back... to thank Him... fervently... for yet another Miraculous Deliverance... before she could... she saw Her faithful Friend... Having Completed His Divine Mission... Vanish... right before her eyes...!
How she Was Led... in the right direction... to SUBUD... via The Insurance Company of North America... in the Magical Tearoom... which Vanished... right after she left it... Accompanied by an Angel of God... is more fully told... elsewhere... as indicated... in the Table of Contents... here on the Holy Website... SUBUD Stories...!
The Insurance Company of North America... situated way out in the industrial district... on the very outskirts... of Johannesburg... where "SUBUD..." ... would practically... fall into her lap...!
And not only... fall into her lap... but give her the added... wonderful bonus... of being reunited... with her beloved soul mate... Richard... for whom she had deliberately reincarnated herself... right after drowning herself... having "lost face"... because of his gross betrayal of her... as her betrothed... with her younger... beautiful... little "itoko" (cousin)... in their former Japanese incarnation...!
And who would be the one... who... in owing her his life... in return... Was... instead... Chosen by Almighty God... to make amends... by being the channel... to "Open..." ... and "Awaken..." ... her aching Inner self... into SUBUD... when she was almost thirty-one...!!!
But that wonderful story... leading her to Seventh Heaven... SUBUD... is more fully detailed... on this Holy Website... "SUBUD Stories..." ... under Part IX... "Return To South Africa...!" ... and "The Poignant Saga... Of Richard And Grazia..." ... as indicated... under the Chapter Headings... in the Table of Contents... of this... her Spiritual Odyssey... "From Seven Hells... To Seventh Heaven... SUBUD..."
