Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 81", which "we" have called, "The Three Ages or Growing Seasons of God, Both On the Outside of Us and Within Us, If We Like", a Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brother and sister Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), and to His devoted wife QadirBeeBee. Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 81", which starts out as an "expansion" of our previous Spiritual Letter to Asma'el and to His wife QadirBeeBee, that is, to "Topic 01" in "Spiritual Letter 79" (www.SpiritualLetter079.homestead.com), about "God's True Intention" within us, that at the completion of this age, that "No Child Be Left Behind", which must become "Our True Intention" for our life within us, for our sul life, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, if our life is to truly become successful in our lifetime. Amen. Bawa. A beautiful previous Spiritual Letter, that is, "Spiritual Letter 79", "Knowing The Only True Solution The Middle East, And To Each of Us", which we suggest you read first, at last "Topic 01", before starting to read this Spiritual Letter, that is, "Spiritual Letter 81", "The Three Ages or Growing Seasons of God", if you like. Bawa. For our age, which by the wise is an age know as the "Kali Yuga", or the "Age of Destruction", an age where either "We get it right", before we die to the flesh, or we have to experience an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, after we die to the flesh, for God has no other option, but to give us what we want, that is, to give us we want in this temporaty illusory life, for eternity, but not as we currently see it and experience it in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, but as it really is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us in our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", and that how rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with God's Permission. Bawa. That is , either "We get it right", before we die to the flesh, right about "who we are", about "where we are", and about "what is happening" in our life, like the apple seed buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "truth of itself", and the "truth of what is buried within it", that is, before it germinates or not, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within themselves, or we are truly destroyed, not like in previous age, when our destruction was only temporary, that is, until the next age, but now for eternity, since in truth this is the last age, this is in truth "The End of Time". At least something to think about, a little. Yes? Bawa. And a beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", who in truth are the Children of God for our age, if we like, which in truth is each one of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. That is, to all of "us", if we like, living at the feet of God for our age, which in truth for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), also if we like. Amen. Bawa. That is, to all of "us" living at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, for the 6th life with our 6 lives, is to again become "One with" God within us before "we" die to the flesh, that is, before "we" physically die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen . Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, When asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said, "Think of yourself as an orange, the Prophet of God is the juice of that orange, and God is the taste." May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). ============================================================== Outline & Summary - of "Text Only Version" of Spiritual Letter 80 1. Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like 2. In Truth - the opening line in the "Holy Qur'an", or "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" can be interpreted to mean, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the same was in the beginning with God", which is the opening line in the "Gospel of John", which is the 4th Gospel in the "New Testament" of the "Holy Bible". 3. The Age of The "Justice of Conscience" - which is our current age, an age like none before it, and the "last age", an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. That is, the Choice to quicky go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or the Choice of forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, and a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices 4. Closing Comments - "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." ============================================================== Text Only Version - of Spiritual Letter 81 1. Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence and blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. In Truth - the opening line in the "Holy Qur'an", or "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" can be interpreted to mean, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the same was in the beginning with God", which is the opening line in the "Gospel of John", which is the 4th Gospel in the "New Testament" of the "Holy Bible". Bawa. Here is an "Expansion" of what we started to share with the two of you in "Topic 01" of our previous Spiritual Letter, that is, in "Spiritual Letter 79" (www.Spiritual Letter079.homestead.com), about "God's True Intention" within us, that at the completion of this age, that "No Child Be Left Behind", an age know as the "Kali Yuga", or the "Age of Destruction", an age where either "We get it right", or we are truly destroyed, not like in previous age, when our destruction was only temporary, that is, until the next age. Bawa. An age also know as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", an age like none before it, an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time wiot an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices Bawa. A beautiful understanding that we started to share with the two of you about the "True Gift of God" for our age, that is, which while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, in this new age of the "Justice of Conscience", that in truth we can now become "One with" God within us, if we like, that is, we can now truly "Join in partnership" within God within us, to "Bear Witness" within us, of "God walking back into God" within us. Bawa. That is, to "Bear Witness" within us of God walking back to God within us, along the "Path of God" within us, along the "Way of the Lord" within us, along the "Straight Path" within us, a path that was completed during the last age, and demonstrated for us on the "outside" of us, starting with Jesus (peace be upon Him) and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), and ending with Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) and Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. With us realizing, without the slightest doubt, that the "True Gift of God" for our age, is that we can, if we like, truly "Bear Witness" within us, within our very own heart, of everything that God has already showed to us, and demonstrated for us,on the "outside" of us, in the two previous ages, through His 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, coming into the world over and over again, to all people and races, over the last 4000 years. Bawa. That is, completing and demonstrating in the age of the "Justice of Man", which has just ended, the "Path of God" within us, that in our age we must now convince God within us to walk within us, before we "die to the flesh, to walk the "Path of God" within us now in our age, that God demonstrated on the "outside" of us in the previsous age, an age beginning over 2000 years ago, when "John the Baptist" and Jesus (peace be upon Them) came into the world. Bawa. And a "Path of God" that God started to complete, and started to demonstrate, in the age before that, in the age of the "Justice of Kings", beginning over 4000 years ago, when the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) and his first two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (peace be upon Them) came into the world, an age that truly ended over 2000 years ago, when Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him), came into the world, and harvest and distributed the "Crop of God" for that age, for the benefit of all of the people living in that age. Bawa. And when Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Hm) planted the "Seed of God" for the next age in their hearts, so their children and grandchilcren could observe the "True Gift of God" for the next age, on the "outside" of them, if they like, which was the age of the "Justice of Man", the age when God truly "Made Straight The Way of Lord" on the "outside" of us, as prophetized by "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) and as demonstrated for us by Jesus (peace be upon Him), both on the "outside" of us, and as recorded for us in the last age, by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him), as the 4th Part of the Holy Bible, as part of the New "Testament" in the Christian tradition, that is, in the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOf John.homestead.com). Bawa. Click HERE to read "Chaper 01" of the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn Chapter01.homestead.com), which starts with the following clarity, which is also the opening line of the "First Chapter" of the "Holy Qur'an", or, "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, in the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassinate, Bawa. Which if we have the heart to see, is the same as the following openiing line in the "First Chapter" of the "Gospel of John", "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (And) the same was in the beginning with God." Bawa. And in this same age, that is, in the last age, in the age of the "Justice of Man", when God truly completed the "Straight Path" for us, the "Suratul Mustaqueem", that leads One to a state of "True Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", as demonstrated for us by the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), also on the "outside" of us, for all to see, if they like, for to realize, understand, and accept this "Truth of us" and this "Truth of God" within us, for each age, is our Choice, not God's, and as recorded for us in the last age, in the "Holy Qur'an" (www.Holy Quran.homestead.com). For example, in the beautiful Chapter or Surat 86 in the Holy Qur'an, "Suratul Tarque", that is, "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star", a review of which you can read on-line by clicking HERE (www.HolyQuranChapter086.homestead. com). Bawa. That is, all of which is growing within the heart of the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if we only want it. For example, that is growing within the heart of this child, while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, for the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which for our age is our dear Fathers, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen 3. The Age of The "Justice of Conscience" - which is our current age, an age like none before it, and the "last age", an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. That is, the Choice to quicky go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or the Choice of forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, and a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices Bawa. That is, to join with God within us to observe how our heart naturally comes to maturity within us, first as the Tree of Iman within us, then as the Tree of Iman-Islam within us, and finally, as the Tree of Islam within us, and from another perspective, as the "Crop of God" within us, that is harvested by God within us at the end of the "Three Ages" or "Growing Seasons" of God within us, that is, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Kings", at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", both of which are now done on the "outside" of us, and at the end of our age, which has just started both within us, and on the "outside" of us, as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which is our current age, or the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us) within us, that is, if we will only let it grow and come to maturity within us, and be harvest by God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, for the Choice to do this, or not, with our heart, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. First observing our heart as the "Tree of Iman" within us, which is our absolute faith certitude and determination that "Only God exists" within us, that in truth "There is nothing other than God" within us, and that "God is One" within us, which is the state of Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, bearing fruit within us as the Prophet David (peace be upon Him), and being harvest for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, as Qutb Alexander (peace be upon Him), if we will only let it. Bawa. All of which in truth starts out within us as the "Seed of True Man" within us, within the "World of souls" within us, as the 96 potentialities within man within us, as the "Justice of Kings" within us, and appears in this earth world within us as "One within" us, as the lineage of the Prophets Abraham, Moses, and David (peace be upon Them) within us, and of Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him) within us, but that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, as the different religions or paths of Judaism, of Christianity, and of Islam, but which in truth are "All One" within us. Amen. Bawa. And then observing our heart as the " Tree of Iman-Islam" within us, as the Katpaha Virudcham or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree" within us, with "us" reflecting the "Light of God" in our face, or the Light of our heart or Ahamd, reflected in our face or Muham, which is initially the state of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, having gotten off of His cross within us, and joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom, coming to maturity within us as "True Prayer" within us, which in truth is the state of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us. Bawa. And then bearing fruit within us as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be please with Him) within us as the "Giver of Life back to True Belief" within us, which in truth is God's belief in God within us, and then being harvest for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) within us, and by God within Him, if we will only let Him. Bawa. All of which in truth is the "Reflection of God" within our heart in the "Face of True Man" within us, which is "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, or the "Muhammad" within us, as the 99 potentialities within man within us, as the "Justice of Man' within us, as the Katpaha Virudcham, or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree" within us, as the true "Shaikh and Disciple" within us. Bawa. Which in the Christian tradition is called the Holy Trinity of God within us, as the "Father, the Sun or Light of man within God within us, and the Holy Spirit or Wisdom" within the "Sign of the Cross" within us, and in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the Triple Fame of God within us, as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within "Alif, Lam, Min" within us, which are 3 Letters within the 28 Letter of the Arabic alphabet within us, which is referred to as the "Mystical Form" of the body of man within us. Bawa. And which is true lineage of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, and of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Guru Bawa (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Them, all of which in truth is "One with" us, but again that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, as the different religions or paths of Judaism, of Christianity, and of Islam, but which in truth are "All One" within us. Amen. Bawa. And finally, now in our age, observing our heart, the heart of the Children of God for our age, which is the heart of each of us living in the world today, if we want, for again the Choice is ours, not God's , a heart which has yet to be revealed on the "outside" of us, but has already come to maturity within each of us, as the "Tree of Islam" within us, which in truth is the "Seed of God" within us, within akhirah or the "Next World" within us, as the One within the 99 within us, as the "Justice of Conscience" within us. Bawa. That is, if we will only let it happen within us, for the Choice to use our heart in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, if we will only true join in partnership with God within us, to let it happen within us, to let God finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. That is, for our heart to become the "Tree of Islam" within us, with "us" letting the "Sound of God" occur again, but this time for our age, and this time within us, which in truth is the "Only True Choice" in our life, in the life of each of us living in the world today, because everything other than "This Choice" within us, to let God finish His "Heart's Work" within us, or not, is just drama, is just the drama of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of which is of no value, either to us or to anyone else, a drama that we can only truly win, if we join in partnership with God within us, "Not to play". Bawa. And instead of this, instead of "us" playing this drama within us, until we die to the flesh, we should "Shift our Focus", off of "us" on the "outside" of us, and our illusory prayers, and duty, and understanding on the "outside" of us, onto God within us, and to what God is really doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, because if we don't, if we don't do this before we die to the flesh, then God will have no Choice but to give us what is behind our "outside" dream or drama, but this time for eternity, to give us for eternity what we really want, according to the "Justice of God", what we have repeatedly told God, by our actions not just by our words, that we truly want for eternity. Bawa. And what is really behind our drama, behind our dream, is not what in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are current seeing, but are all of the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grown within us in our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden". Bawa. Which will most certainly become our fate for eternity, for if we don't join with God within us to truly make this "Shift in Focus" in our life, before it is too late to make this shift within us, then an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which become our next life, will become our hereafter, that is, if we ignore all of this wisdom in this Spiritual Letter, and just continue with "business as usual", if we just continue trying to maintain this drama, this drama of "us" trying to continue living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God. And the Choice to do this, or not, with our life, is our Choice, not God's, because God has already given us everything necessary for us to make the right Choice, if we like, which is God within us, and what is "within God" within us, and what God "Is Doing" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of God's Creation. What more can God do? Bawa. In this way, my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee, may we all start to live within us, as if we are "One with" God within us, and since this in truth is the "Truth of us", and the "Truth of God" within us, then God within us "Make it So" within us, God will "Make us all One" within us, and in this way, letting the "Sound of God" be heard in all of the 18,000 universes within us, that is, "Sound of the One becoming the Three, and of The Three becoming the One", Three Times, in the "World of Souls within us, in this "Earth World" or dunya within us, and in the "Next World, or akhirah within us, for the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. And in this way, the last age within us, and the one before it, are all over, are finished, and our acting as if they are still going on, either within us or as reflected on the "outside" of us, and our doing what was appropriate for those living in those earlier age, but certainly not for our age, will do us no good, is really now in our age work that is no real value to us, and will not do us, or anyone else any good, and in truth is just the "busy work" of our mind, waiting for us to die, which is like the "busy work" that we used to do in grammar school, like cleaning the erasers, after all of our "regular work", like reading, writing, and arithmetic, was done, until the "bell rang" and we could all go home, and play. Bawa. For the previous two age are all over and done with on the "outside" of us, and any benefit available in our successful participation in these two earlier ages, on the "outside" of us, is no longer available to any of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, which is sort of like our childhood, up to the age of 12, and our life up to 36, when we have become 40, that is, they are now over on the "outside" of us, but can be of great value within us, because within us they are still with us, and can help us move forward in our life, if we can only learn how to access them within us, which is something that we need to realize, understand, and accept as another of the "Truths of Our Age", if we are ever to become truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. With the first age being the "Justice of Kings", beginning on the "outside" of us with the appearance in the world of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him), and ending on the "outside" of us with the appearance of Qutb Alexander (peace be upon Him), or between 2000 and 4000 years ago, and with the second age being the "Justice of Man", beginning on the "outside" of us with the of the appearance in the world of "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him), followed by the appearance in the world of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and ending on the "outside" of us with the appearance of Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), or between 2000 years ago, and the beginning of our current age, around 30 years ago, in 1975, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) changed His Name. Bawa. That is, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) changed His Name to Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), signifying among many other things, the start of the new and last age, which is the age of the "Justice of Conscience", the "Kali Yuga", that "Age of Destruction", when either man is destroyed or he joins in partnership with God within him, and the Choice to do is this, or not, with our life, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, either man is destroyed or he truly joins in partnership with God within us to destroy everything that is "separating God" from God within us, in the process, allowing God within us to finish His "Heart's Work" within us, allowing God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. And the first and second ages, the age of the "Justice of Kings", and the age of the "Justice of Man", both came to an end with the "Sound of God", as they both began with the "Sound of God", with them beginning with the "Sound of the One becoming the Three", and within them ending with the "Sound of the Three again becoming the One", which is now also true for our age. Bawa. With our age, which is the age of the "Justice of Conscience", like the two ages before it, truly starting with the "Sound of God", which in truth is the "Direct intervention" of God", in the affairs of man, and truly ending with the "Sound of God", which in truth is again the "Direct intervention" of God", in the affairs of man and in this way, with God in each age, starting everything, maintaining everything, and bringing everything to an end, that is, with God preparing the soil for each age, and sowing the seeds for each age, at the beginning of each age, then protecting and nourishing the crops for each age, during that age, and then harvesting the crop for that age, at the end of that age. Bawa. And at the end of the last age, of the end of age of the "Justice of Man", what became the harvest of that age, what became the "One" emerging from within the "Three" of that age, from the Three of that age which was the Holy Trinity of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us coming to maturity within us a the Triple Flame of Muhammad (blessing of peace be upon Him) within us, becoming age the One, when the "Sound of God" came at the end of the last age. Bawa. Becoming again the "One" at the end of the last age, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", when God again "Directly Intervened" in the "affairs of man" at the end of the last age, that is, as the "Sound of the Three again becoming the One", but this time with the "One" having benefited and profited from the harvest of the crop that was grown and brought to maturity by God within us all, during that previous age. Bawa. And this "One" for the end of the last age, who then became again the "Three" for our age, when God again "Directly Intervened" in the "affairs of man" at the beginning of the our age, that is, as the "Sound of the One again becoming the Three", can in truth be viewed, at least from one very, very tiny perspective, within the heart of this child, as our dear Father, Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. As our dear Father, Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). who came into the world within us in 1886, which on the "outside" of us is called the country of Serendib or Ceylon, and who then came to America in 1971, in order to raise the "Children of God" in America to a "good state", and who then took "His American Children" back to Ceylon (now called Sri Lanka) with Him in order to finish building the "House of God" that He has started to build in Northern Ceylon, just outside, on the coast, of the town of Jaffna, which in truth is a Shrine over the grave site of Mary (peace be upon Her), the physical Mother of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at Her request, that He stated building in Ceylon many years earlier, but stopped, telling the people around Him at that time, that they would have to wait until the "Children who could pray" would come to Ceylon and finish building the "House of God", which in 1972-73 they did. Bawa. Who in truth is the "One" from the last age, who in truth was the end result of the "Three becoming again the One" at the end of the last age, the end result of God harvesting "His Crop" for the last age, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, because such is the truth of us, of us in the last age, and in the age before, and even more importantly for each of us, such is the truth of us now in our age, also, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, for this, this "Work of God" within us, is in truth the only thing that is really going on within any of us, and our only participation in it, is where we Choose to join it, and in this way, let it happen within us, and in this way, become the Witness of it, or not, or Choose to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, becoming at the end of our age, what God discards when He harvests His Crop for our age. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, to either become "One with" God's crop, or "One with" what God discards in the harvest of His Crop our age. Something to at least think about, my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee, Yes? Bawa. And in this way, with "us" in partnership with God within us, letting "Entogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny", which is a concept in plant life which can be viewed from one perspective as telling us that each plant life is really a recapitulation of all other plant life, and even of all other life, which from the perspective of the life and teaching of God for our age, can be seen as the 99 revolving within the 99, with nothing reducible below that, below the 99, which can be used as an example on the "outside" of us of another "Truth of us" within us. Bawa. That in truth we are all previous ages within us, and if we like, we can become "God's Harvest" of each of the two ages before our age, we can become the One becoming the Three and the Three becoming the One, for both the age of the "Justice of Kings" and for the age of the "Justice of Man", as well becoming both the One and the Three at the beginning of our age, in this way, with us "now" existing "God's Crop" for our age, as "God" Crop" for the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which God is now protecting, and nourishing, until at the end of our age, which not far off, as this is a very short age, God will then harvest His Crop, with us becoming either "One with" His Crop for our age, when He again transforms His Three for this age, into His One, or we become what is discarded from this final Crop of God. Bawa. And if we are wise, we will join with God within us, to becomes "One with" His Crop, and from this position, to ensure that when this age is over, "Nothing" is discarded by God, that is, everything has become His Crop. Bawa. That in the end, Everything has gone back into God, from which we have all come, and God is no longer separate from God, in any way, because in truth "There is nothing other than God" within us, and "Only God exists" within us, and "God is One" within us, that is, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, whether we use our life in this way, or not Bawa. In this way, with us joining with God within us, to let the previous two ages that have all come and passed on the "outside" of us, come and pass within us, bringing us truly up to the last age within us, which is our current age on the "outside" of us, for in truth, this is "How it works", if we like, this is how we become the "Children of God" for our age, how we become the Three for our age, having come out of the One for our age, having become the Grand Children, the Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him. Bawa. And in this way, the "Three" within us, from the last age, which in truth is the Holy Trinity of God within us, which is the "Three" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, that is the "Father, the Sun or Light of Man within God, and the Holy Spirit or Wisdom" within us, must came to maturity within us, as the Triple Flame of God within us, as the "Three" of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within us, as "True Prayer" within us, and reveal the "One within the Three" within us, which is he True Guru within us, before we die to the flesh, if our life is to become truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. And in this way, allowing the "True Guru" within us, and the "True Disciple" within the "True Guru" within us, to become the "True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" within us, allowing the following to truly happen within us, "Coming as the Guru of God to all Lights on Earth, O Father, becoming Good Qualities, by Fasting for 12 years". Bawa. For as the the "Guru" of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) told Him in a song, when They first met, "He is the Ray resplending from the Sun. He is the Ray resplending from the Sun. He is a Ray resplending from the Sun. In all of the Creations Beings, each one. All of them receive His Grace, Through His Quality of Grace. Coming as the Guru of God to all Lights on Earth, O Father, becoming Good Qualities, by Fasting for 12 years". [Note: This Quotation is from page 106, in Chapter 3, "KQED Radio Interview", December 16, 1973, by Will Noffke, in the beautiful book of wisdom, "Truth & Light" (www.spiritualbook009.homestead.com), by His Holliness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), like in this Spiritual Letter.

Such is the "True Lineage" of our Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and of His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of us), that is, of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen. 4. Closing Comments - "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to all of the members of your family, and to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And please try to join in partnership with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, to do this "Heart's Work" within us, as in truth this is the only way to allow God to return to God within us, by using God within us to establish the "Presence of God" within us, by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and for our age, the Name of God is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with each of Him, and with each of Us). Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 81", which "we" have called, "The Three Ages or Growing Seasons of God, Both On the Outside of Us and Within Us, If We Like", a Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brother and sister Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket), and to His devoted wife QadirBeeBee. Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 81", which starts out as an "expansion" of our previous Spiritual Letter to Asma'el and to His wife QadirBeeBee, that is, to "Topic 01" in "Spiritual Letter 79" (www.SpiritualLetter079.homestead.com), about "God's True Intention" within us, that at the completion of this age, that "No Child Be Left Behind", which must become "Our True Intention" for our life within us, for our sul life, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, if our life is to truly become successful in our lifetime. Amen. Bawa. A beautiful previous Spiritual Letter, that is, "Spiritual Letter 79", "Knowing The Only True Solution The Middle East, And To Each of Us", which we suggest you read first, at last "Topic 01", before starting to read this Spiritual Letter, that is, "Spiritual Letter 81", "The Three Ages or Growing Seasons of God", if you like. Bawa. For our age, which by the wise is an age know as the "Kali Yuga", or the "Age of Destruction", an age where either "We get it right", before we die to the flesh, or we have to experience an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, after we die to the flesh, for God has no other option, but to give us what we want, that is, to give us we want in this temporaty illusory life, for eternity, but not as we currently see it and experience it in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, but as it really is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us in our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", and that how rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with God's Permission. Bawa. That is , either "We get it right", before we die to the flesh, right about "who we are", about "where we are", and about "what is happening" in our life, like the apple seed buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "truth of itself", and the "truth of what is buried within it", that is, before it germinates or not, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within themselves, or we are truly destroyed, not like in previous age, when our destruction was only temporary, that is, until the next age, but now for eternity, since in truth this is the last age, this is in truth "The End of Time". At least something to think about, a little. Yes? Bawa. And a beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of "The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", who in truth are the Children of God for our age, if we like, which in truth is each one of us living in this age, if we like. Bawa. That is, to all of "us", if we like, living at the feet of God for our age, which in truth for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), also if we like. Amen. Bawa. That is, to all of "us" living at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, for the 6th life with our 6 lives, is to again become "One with" God within us before "we" die to the flesh, that is, before "we" physically die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen . Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, When asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said, "Think of yourself as an orange, the Prophet of God is the juice of that orange, and God is the taste." May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). ============================================================== Outline & Summary - of "Text Only Version" of Spiritual Letter 80 1. Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like 2. In Truth - the opening line in the "Holy Qur'an", or "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" can be interpreted to mean, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the same was in the beginning with God", which is the opening line in the "Gospel of John", which is the 4th Gospel in the "New Testament" of the "Holy Bible". 3. The Age of The "Justice of Conscience" - which is our current age, an age like none before it, and the "last age", an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. That is, the Choice to quicky go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or the Choice of forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, and a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices 4. Closing Comments - "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." ============================================================== Text Only Version - of Spiritual Letter 81 1. Greetings - from heart to heart, if we like Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence and blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. In Truth - the opening line in the "Holy Qur'an", or "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim" can be interpreted to mean, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the same was in the beginning with God", which is the opening line in the "Gospel of John", which is the 4th Gospel in the "New Testament" of the "Holy Bible". Bawa. Here is an "Expansion" of what we started to share with the two of you in "Topic 01" of our previous Spiritual Letter, that is, in "Spiritual Letter 79" (www.Spiritual Letter079.homestead.com), about "God's True Intention" within us, that at the completion of this age, that "No Child Be Left Behind", an age know as the "Kali Yuga", or the "Age of Destruction", an age where either "We get it right", or we are truly destroyed, not like in previous age, when our destruction was only temporary, that is, until the next age. Bawa. An age also know as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", an age like none before it, an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time wiot an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices Bawa. A beautiful understanding that we started to share with the two of you about the "True Gift of God" for our age, that is, which while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, in this new age of the "Justice of Conscience", that in truth we can now become "One with" God within us, if we like, that is, we can now truly "Join in partnership" within God within us, to "Bear Witness" within us, of "God walking back into God" within us. Bawa. That is, to "Bear Witness" within us of God walking back to God within us, along the "Path of God" within us, along the "Way of the Lord" within us, along the "Straight Path" within us, a path that was completed during the last age, and demonstrated for us on the "outside" of us, starting with Jesus (peace be upon Him) and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), and ending with Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) and Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. With us realizing, without the slightest doubt, that the "True Gift of God" for our age, is that we can, if we like, truly "Bear Witness" within us, within our very own heart, of everything that God has already showed to us, and demonstrated for us,on the "outside" of us, in the two previous ages, through His 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, coming into the world over and over again, to all people and races, over the last 4000 years. Bawa. That is, completing and demonstrating in the age of the "Justice of Man", which has just ended, the "Path of God" within us, that in our age we must now convince God within us to walk within us, before we "die to the flesh, to walk the "Path of God" within us now in our age, that God demonstrated on the "outside" of us in the previsous age, an age beginning over 2000 years ago, when "John the Baptist" and Jesus (peace be upon Them) came into the world. Bawa. And a "Path of God" that God started to complete, and started to demonstrate, in the age before that, in the age of the "Justice of Kings", beginning over 4000 years ago, when the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) and his first two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (peace be upon Them) came into the world, an age that truly ended over 2000 years ago, when Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him), came into the world, and harvest and distributed the "Crop of God" for that age, for the benefit of all of the people living in that age. Bawa. And when Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Hm) planted the "Seed of God" for the next age in their hearts, so their children and grandchilcren could observe the "True Gift of God" for the next age, on the "outside" of them, if they like, which was the age of the "Justice of Man", the age when God truly "Made Straight The Way of Lord" on the "outside" of us, as prophetized by "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him) and as demonstrated for us by Jesus (peace be upon Him), both on the "outside" of us, and as recorded for us in the last age, by the Disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him), as the 4th Part of the Holy Bible, as part of the New "Testament" in the Christian tradition, that is, in the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOf John.homestead.com). Bawa. Click HERE to read "Chaper 01" of the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn Chapter01.homestead.com), which starts with the following clarity, which is also the opening line of the "First Chapter" of the "Holy Qur'an", or, "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, in the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassinate, Bawa. Which if we have the heart to see, is the same as the following openiing line in the "First Chapter" of the "Gospel of John", "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (And) the same was in the beginning with God." Bawa. And in this same age, that is, in the last age, in the age of the "Justice of Man", when God truly completed the "Straight Path" for us, the "Suratul Mustaqueem", that leads One to a state of "True Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", as demonstrated for us by the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), also on the "outside" of us, for all to see, if they like, for to realize, understand, and accept this "Truth of us" and this "Truth of God" within us, for each age, is our Choice, not God's, and as recorded for us in the last age, in the "Holy Qur'an" (www.Holy Quran.homestead.com). For example, in the beautiful Chapter or Surat 86 in the Holy Qur'an, "Suratul Tarque", that is, "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star", a review of which you can read on-line by clicking HERE (www.HolyQuranChapter086.homestead. com). Bawa. That is, all of which is growing within the heart of the Children of God for our age, which is each of us living in this age, if we only want it. For example, that is growing within the heart of this child, while living at the "Feet of God" for our age, for the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which for our age is our dear Fathers, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen 3. The Age of The "Justice of Conscience" - which is our current age, an age like none before it, and the "last age", an age which is not really far from being over, as this is a very short age, because God has made it so, because God has compressed it, allowing for us to move quickly, either up or down, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's. That is, the Choice to quicky go in either direction, either truly going back into God within us, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, or the Choice of forever living a life as "separate from" God within us, and a Choice we all must make in our age before we die to the flesh, and in truth there are no other Choices Bawa. That is, to join with God within us to observe how our heart naturally comes to maturity within us, first as the Tree of Iman within us, then as the Tree of Iman-Islam within us, and finally, as the Tree of Islam within us, and from another perspective, as the "Crop of God" within us, that is harvested by God within us at the end of the "Three Ages" or "Growing Seasons" of God within us, that is, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Kings", at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", both of which are now done on the "outside" of us, and at the end of our age, which has just started both within us, and on the "outside" of us, as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which is our current age, or the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us) within us, that is, if we will only let it grow and come to maturity within us, and be harvest by God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like, for the Choice to do this, or not, with our heart, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. First observing our heart as the "Tree of Iman" within us, which is our absolute faith certitude and determination that "Only God exists" within us, that in truth "There is nothing other than God" within us, and that "God is One" within us, which is the state of Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, bearing fruit within us as the Prophet David (peace be upon Him), and being harvest for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, as Qutb Alexander (peace be upon Him), if we will only let it. Bawa. All of which in truth starts out within us as the "Seed of True Man" within us, within the "World of souls" within us, as the 96 potentialities within man within us, as the "Justice of Kings" within us, and appears in this earth world within us as "One within" us, as the lineage of the Prophets Abraham, Moses, and David (peace be upon Them) within us, and of Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him) within us, but that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, as the different religions or paths of Judaism, of Christianity, and of Islam, but which in truth are "All One" within us. Amen. Bawa. And then observing our heart as the " Tree of Iman-Islam" within us, as the Katpaha Virudcham or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree" within us, with "us" reflecting the "Light of God" in our face, or the Light of our heart or Ahamd, reflected in our face or Muham, which is initially the state of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, having gotten off of His cross within us, and joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom, coming to maturity within us as "True Prayer" within us, which in truth is the state of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us. Bawa. And then bearing fruit within us as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be please with Him) within us as the "Giver of Life back to True Belief" within us, which in truth is God's belief in God within us, and then being harvest for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) within us, and by God within Him, if we will only let Him. Bawa. All of which in truth is the "Reflection of God" within our heart in the "Face of True Man" within us, which is "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, or the "Muhammad" within us, as the 99 potentialities within man within us, as the "Justice of Man' within us, as the Katpaha Virudcham, or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree" within us, as the true "Shaikh and Disciple" within us. Bawa. Which in the Christian tradition is called the Holy Trinity of God within us, as the "Father, the Sun or Light of man within God within us, and the Holy Spirit or Wisdom" within the "Sign of the Cross" within us, and in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the Triple Fame of God within us, as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within "Alif, Lam, Min" within us, which are 3 Letters within the 28 Letter of the Arabic alphabet within us, which is referred to as the "Mystical Form" of the body of man within us. Bawa. And which is true lineage of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, and of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Guru Bawa (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Them, all of which in truth is "One with" us, but again that we only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, as the different religions or paths of Judaism, of Christianity, and of Islam, but which in truth are "All One" within us. Amen. Bawa. And finally, now in our age, observing our heart, the heart of the Children of God for our age, which is the heart of each of us living in the world today, if we want, for again the Choice is ours, not God's , a heart which has yet to be revealed on the "outside" of us, but has already come to maturity within each of us, as the "Tree of Islam" within us, which in truth is the "Seed of God" within us, within akhirah or the "Next World" within us, as the One within the 99 within us, as the "Justice of Conscience" within us. Bawa. That is, if we will only let it happen within us, for the Choice to use our heart in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, if we will only true join in partnership with God within us, to let it happen within us, to let God finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. That is, for our heart to become the "Tree of Islam" within us, with "us" letting the "Sound of God" occur again, but this time for our age, and this time within us, which in truth is the "Only True Choice" in our life, in the life of each of us living in the world today, because everything other than "This Choice" within us, to let God finish His "Heart's Work" within us, or not, is just drama, is just the drama of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of which is of no value, either to us or to anyone else, a drama that we can only truly win, if we join in partnership with God within us, "Not to play". Bawa. And instead of this, instead of "us" playing this drama within us, until we die to the flesh, we should "Shift our Focus", off of "us" on the "outside" of us, and our illusory prayers, and duty, and understanding on the "outside" of us, onto God within us, and to what God is really doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, because if we don't, if we don't do this before we die to the flesh, then God will have no Choice but to give us what is behind our "outside" dream or drama, but this time for eternity, to give us for eternity what we really want, according to the "Justice of God", what we have repeatedly told God, by our actions not just by our words, that we truly want for eternity. Bawa. And what is really behind our drama, behind our dream, is not what in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are current seeing, but are all of the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grown within us in our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden". Bawa. Which will most certainly become our fate for eternity, for if we don't join with God within us to truly make this "Shift in Focus" in our life, before it is too late to make this shift within us, then an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which become our next life, will become our hereafter, that is, if we ignore all of this wisdom in this Spiritual Letter, and just continue with "business as usual", if we just continue trying to maintain this drama, this drama of "us" trying to continue living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God. And the Choice to do this, or not, with our life, is our Choice, not God's, because God has already given us everything necessary for us to make the right Choice, if we like, which is God within us, and what is "within God" within us, and what God "Is Doing" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of God's Creation. What more can God do? Bawa. In this way, my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee, may we all start to live within us, as if we are "One with" God within us, and since this in truth is the "Truth of us", and the "Truth of God" within us, then God within us "Make it So" within us, God will "Make us all One" within us, and in this way, letting the "Sound of God" be heard in all of the 18,000 universes within us, that is, "Sound of the One becoming the Three, and of The Three becoming the One", Three Times, in the "World of Souls within us, in this "Earth World" or dunya within us, and in the "Next World, or akhirah within us, for the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. And in this way, the last age within us, and the one before it, are all over, are finished, and our acting as if they are still going on, either within us or as reflected on the "outside" of us, and our doing what was appropriate for those living in those earlier age, but certainly not for our age, will do us no good, is really now in our age work that is no real value to us, and will not do us, or anyone else any good, and in truth is just the "busy work" of our mind, waiting for us to die, which is like the "busy work" that we used to do in grammar school, like cleaning the erasers, after all of our "regular work", like reading, writing, and arithmetic, was done, until the "bell rang" and we could all go home, and play. Bawa. For the previous two age are all over and done with on the "outside" of us, and any benefit available in our successful participation in these two earlier ages, on the "outside" of us, is no longer available to any of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, which is sort of like our childhood, up to the age of 12, and our life up to 36, when we have become 40, that is, they are now over on the "outside" of us, but can be of great value within us, because within us they are still with us, and can help us move forward in our life, if we can only learn how to access them within us, which is something that we need to realize, understand, and accept as another of the "Truths of Our Age", if we are ever to become truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. With the first age being the "Justice of Kings", beginning on the "outside" of us with the appearance in the world of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him), and ending on the "outside" of us with the appearance of Qutb Alexander (peace be upon Him), or between 2000 and 4000 years ago, and with the second age being the "Justice of Man", beginning on the "outside" of us with the of the appearance in the world of "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Him), followed by the appearance in the world of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and ending on the "outside" of us with the appearance of Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), or between 2000 years ago, and the beginning of our current age, around 30 years ago, in 1975, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) changed His Name. Bawa. That is, when Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) changed His Name to Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), signifying among many other things, the start of the new and last age, which is the age of the "Justice of Conscience", the "Kali Yuga", that "Age of Destruction", when either man is destroyed or he joins in partnership with God within him, and the Choice to do is this, or not, with our life, is Our Choice, not God's, that is, either man is destroyed or he truly joins in partnership with God within us to destroy everything that is "separating God" from God within us, in the process, allowing God within us to finish His "Heart's Work" within us, allowing God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. And the first and second ages, the age of the "Justice of Kings", and the age of the "Justice of Man", both came to an end with the "Sound of God", as they both began with the "Sound of God", with them beginning with the "Sound of the One becoming the Three", and within them ending with the "Sound of the Three again becoming the One", which is now also true for our age. Bawa. With our age, which is the age of the "Justice of Conscience", like the two ages before it, truly starting with the "Sound of God", which in truth is the "Direct intervention" of God", in the affairs of man, and truly ending with the "Sound of God", which in truth is again the "Direct intervention" of God", in the affairs of man and in this way, with God in each age, starting everything, maintaining everything, and bringing everything to an end, that is, with God preparing the soil for each age, and sowing the seeds for each age, at the beginning of each age, then protecting and nourishing the crops for each age, during that age, and then harvesting the crop for that age, at the end of that age. Bawa. And at the end of the last age, of the end of age of the "Justice of Man", what became the harvest of that age, what became the "One" emerging from within the "Three" of that age, from the Three of that age which was the Holy Trinity of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us coming to maturity within us a the Triple Flame of Muhammad (blessing of peace be upon Him) within us, becoming age the One, when the "Sound of God" came at the end of the last age. Bawa. Becoming again the "One" at the end of the last age, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", when God again "Directly Intervened" in the "affairs of man" at the end of the last age, that is, as the "Sound of the Three again becoming the One", but this time with the "One" having benefited and profited from the harvest of the crop that was grown and brought to maturity by God within us all, during that previous age. Bawa. And this "One" for the end of the last age, who then became again the "Three" for our age, when God again "Directly Intervened" in the "affairs of man" at the beginning of the our age, that is, as the "Sound of the One again becoming the Three", can in truth be viewed, at least from one very, very tiny perspective, within the heart of this child, as our dear Father, Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Bawa. As our dear Father, Guru Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). who came into the world within us in 1886, which on the "outside" of us is called the country of Serendib or Ceylon, and who then came to America in 1971, in order to raise the "Children of God" in America to a "good state", and who then took "His American Children" back to Ceylon (now called Sri Lanka) with Him in order to finish building the "House of God" that He has started to build in Northern Ceylon, just outside, on the coast, of the town of Jaffna, which in truth is a Shrine over the grave site of Mary (peace be upon Her), the physical Mother of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at Her request, that He stated building in Ceylon many years earlier, but stopped, telling the people around Him at that time, that they would have to wait until the "Children who could pray" would come to Ceylon and finish building the "House of God", which in 1972-73 they did. Bawa. Who in truth is the "One" from the last age, who in truth was the end result of the "Three becoming again the One" at the end of the last age, the end result of God harvesting "His Crop" for the last age, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, because such is the truth of us, of us in the last age, and in the age before, and even more importantly for each of us, such is the truth of us now in our age, also, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not, for this, this "Work of God" within us, is in truth the only thing that is really going on within any of us, and our only participation in it, is where we Choose to join it, and in this way, let it happen within us, and in this way, become the Witness of it, or not, or Choose to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, becoming at the end of our age, what God discards when He harvests His Crop for our age. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, to either become "One with" God's crop, or "One with" what God discards in the harvest of His Crop our age. Something to at least think about, my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee, Yes? Bawa. And in this way, with "us" in partnership with God within us, letting "Entogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny", which is a concept in plant life which can be viewed from one perspective as telling us that each plant life is really a recapitulation of all other plant life, and even of all other life, which from the perspective of the life and teaching of God for our age, can be seen as the 99 revolving within the 99, with nothing reducible below that, below the 99, which can be used as an example on the "outside" of us of another "Truth of us" within us. Bawa. That in truth we are all previous ages within us, and if we like, we can become "God's Harvest" of each of the two ages before our age, we can become the One becoming the Three and the Three becoming the One, for both the age of the "Justice of Kings" and for the age of the "Justice of Man", as well becoming both the One and the Three at the beginning of our age, in this way, with us "now" existing "God's Crop" for our age, as "God" Crop" for the age of the "Justice of Conscience", which God is now protecting, and nourishing, until at the end of our age, which not far off, as this is a very short age, God will then harvest His Crop, with us becoming either "One with" His Crop for our age, when He again transforms His Three for this age, into His One, or we become what is discarded from this final Crop of God. Bawa. And if we are wise, we will join with God within us, to becomes "One with" His Crop, and from this position, to ensure that when this age is over, "Nothing" is discarded by God, that is, everything has become His Crop. Bawa. That in the end, Everything has gone back into God, from which we have all come, and God is no longer separate from God, in any way, because in truth "There is nothing other than God" within us, and "Only God exists" within us, and "God is One" within us, that is, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, whether we use our life in this way, or not Bawa. In this way, with us joining with God within us, to let the previous two ages that have all come and passed on the "outside" of us, come and pass within us, bringing us truly up to the last age within us, which is our current age on the "outside" of us, for in truth, this is "How it works", if we like, this is how we become the "Children of God" for our age, how we become the Three for our age, having come out of the One for our age, having become the Grand Children, the Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him. Bawa. And in this way, the "Three" within us, from the last age, which in truth is the Holy Trinity of God within us, which is the "Three" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, that is the "Father, the Sun or Light of Man within God, and the Holy Spirit or Wisdom" within us, must came to maturity within us, as the Triple Flame of God within us, as the "Three" of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within us, as "True Prayer" within us, and reveal the "One within the Three" within us, which is he True Guru within us, before we die to the flesh, if our life is to become truly successful in our lifetime. Bawa. And in this way, allowing the "True Guru" within us, and the "True Disciple" within the "True Guru" within us, to become the "True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" within us, allowing the following to truly happen within us, "Coming as the Guru of God to all Lights on Earth, O Father, becoming Good Qualities, by Fasting for 12 years". Bawa. For as the the "Guru" of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) told Him in a song, when They first met, "He is the Ray resplending from the Sun. He is the Ray resplending from the Sun. He is a Ray resplending from the Sun. In all of the Creations Beings, each one. All of them receive His Grace, Through His Quality of Grace. Coming as the Guru of God to all Lights on Earth, O Father, becoming Good Qualities, by Fasting for 12 years". [Note: This Quotation is from page 106, in Chapter 3, "KQED Radio Interview", December 16, 1973, by Will Noffke, in the beautiful book of wisdom, "Truth & Light" (www.spiritualbook009.homestead.com), by His Holliness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), like in this Spiritual Letter. Click above or HERE to read more of "Chapter 3" (www.spiritualbook009chap03.homestead.com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. Such is the "True Lineage" of our Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and of His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of us), that is, of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in the world, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen. 4. Closing Comments - "Let those who are knowledgeable correct any faults. Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to all of the members of your family, and to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And please try to join in partnership with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, to do this "Heart's Work" within us, as in truth this is the only way to allow God to return to God within us, by using God within us to establish the "Presence of God" within us, by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and for our age, the Name of God is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with each of Him, and with each of Us). Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Asma'el, and my dearest loving sister QadirBeeBee - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
