Introduction - to Spiritual Review 01

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.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Louie Beutler).

Here is a "Spiritual Review" of the 86th Chapter or Sura in the Holy Qur'an, of
"At Tarique", or "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star", which gives a beautiful summary of the "Path of God" within us, and of the "One who walks It", that God has given to each of us, both within us and on the "outside" of us, for our age, if we like.

For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us) 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 Him) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Review,

          "Children, from your Father you came to this world, and from the world you must
          return to Him. When you came, you came in the form of an atom, and when you
          go, you must go in the same form. It is necessary for you to understand this,
          and to return to your original state (before you die to the flesh). For as long as
          you do not establish this state, you cannot complete the journey of your soul."

[Note: This quotation from His Holiness is from the book, "A Mystical Journey", by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is also provided as a quotation in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for September, 2005. To access an on-line copy of some of the Chapters in this book, please click on the following:
"A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com). Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen]

So if we like we can invite God within us to walk back to God within us, and if He does, then "We will be within it", as the Witness, in this way, with "us" allowing God within us to complete what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, if we like.

For in truth, to do this, or not to do this, with our life, is truly our Choice, not God's Choice, that is, to do this with what God has placed within us, rather than doing what we are currently doing with "us", which is of no real value, either to us or to anyone else, to do this with our life, that is, to let God within us use "us" to complete His intention, His purpose for having created "us", is truly our Choice, not God's Choice. Amen.

May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, for in truth if we have "doubt", then we are "out", and having realized this truth of us, and this truth of God within us, may we start to act accordingly, that is, may we start to act again as if we are "One with" God within us, which is the truth of us, and no longer act as if we are "separate from" God within us, which is the falsehood of us, and unfortunately for "us" is our current way.

And may we start to do this before it is too late, too late to do this any more with "us", that is, before we die to the flesh, and then, if we can just play this very small part or role within "us", in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, then God within us will do "Everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, for this is "God's Promise", this is "God's Guarantee" for our age.  Amen.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May
God help us all.

          By the heaven and the Morning Star,
          Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is,
          The Piercing Star?

          No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

          So let man consider from what he is created.
          He is created From a gushing fluid
          That issues from between the loins and ribs.

          Verily He is able to return him (unto life),
          On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

          Then will he have no might nor any helper
          By heaven what giveth the returning rain,
          And the earth which splitteth.

          His is a conclusive Word
          It is no pleasantry.

          They plot a plot.
          And I plot a plot.
          So give a respite to the disbeliever,
          Deal thou gently with them for a while.

--- Beginning of "Expanded Version" of "At Tarique", from the Holy Qur'an ---

By the heaven
(which are 25 of the 28 letters,
which are the 28 letters of life given to man by God.
By the heaven which for man in his current state,
living on the "outside" of himself as if
he is "separate from" God within him,
are 25 of these 28 letters, which is the shadow of the Nur,
the shadow that emerges out of the Nur when God looks at it,
after the Nur had emerged out of the effulgence of God within us)

And the Morning Star
(which is the 25th of these 28 letter,
which is the light of man within God within us, the light of man's wisdom,
that God placed on the forehead of Adam [peace be upon Him] within us,
as the vehicle for completing what God started within man,
a very, very long time age, even before man came to this earth world,
which is to reveal God to God within man within us,
for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within man within us.

And the Morning Star
which before man awakens to the truth within him,
is the light of the glitter that brings man back to his place of birth)

Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is (the 25th letter) ,
The Piercing Star (the Nur Muhammad)?

(Why the 26, the 27, and the 28 letters will tell you,
which is excellent for the straight path,
which is the ruh, the wisdom, and the grace,
after the 25 becomes the 24 and the 1,
destroying the shadow, and revealing the "Palace of the soul" within man,
the "House of wisdom" within man, the house of
Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani
(may God be pleased with Him),
after the 25 become the 24 and the 1,
becoming the Qutb and Nur of God emerging out of the shadow,
out of the effulgence of God within man,
as the form of Iman,
as the 24 letter form of the Kalimah,
as the form of the affirmation of the Unity of Allah,
as the form of man's wisdom,
and as the Nur, as the Light of man's wisdom,
as the Shepherd and the Tree,
as the Shaikh and the Disciple)

No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

So let man consider from what he is created.
He is created From a gushing fluid
That issues from between the loins and ribs.

Verily He is able to return him
(unto consciousness, by awakening the wisdom surrounding his soul,
unto life, by liberating his soul from the cross of his elemental body,
by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin,
and unto duty, unto what God has planned for him,
by re-opening the world of souls within him,
by closing down the worlds of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within him,
by closing down the worlds of darkness and evil within him,
that in his ignorance he has grown within himself,
below his waist as false creation,
within his stomach as false destruction,
and within his chest as false life,
as the lives of impure spirits within him)

On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out
(when he willingly and freely joins in partnership with God within him,
to let his current life end, before he dies to the flesh,
"to let grace spring forth,
to let darkness vanish,
to let the love of Guru grow,
and to let qualities be purified (1)".

On the day
when the veil of thought or karma is removed from within him,
the thought of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of him,
when the thought of wife, children, friends, family,
are replaced by the "remembrance of God" with every breath,
and at every time of prayer, glorifying His name,
"Realizing that whether or not we are alive in the next moment,
is God's will not ours, may God's will be done,
for if we can have this faith of Iman with certitude,
and if we can have this intention, that God's will be done", with each breath,
and if we can acquire God's qualities and action,
then that is the state of Islam lived by the true believer,
by the "Mu'min" [2].  Amen)

Then will he have no might nor any helper
(in the world,
in either the world of illusion on the  "outside" of himself
or within the dark and evil world within him,
that he in his ignorance has grown within himself)

By heaven what giveth the returning rain,
(which are his thoughts, as the ether
or the 400 trillion 10 thousand spiritual energies within him)

And the earth which splitteth
(into the 9, into the 9 openings which now rule over him,
with God's Permission,
until he "Sees God and Steadies God" within him,
so God can then "Cure Himself of him",
of "him" as "separate from" God within him,
by closing down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within him,
by re-opening the world of souls within him,
and by opening the kingdom of God within him.  Amen)

His is a conclusive Word
(of grace within him,
which contains the reason, justice, and virtue
of the Primal One within him,
"It is the Primal Pearl of Wisdom
that is spoken of as the glorious Word
Uttered by Master Muhammad Rasul
[blessing and peace be upon Him),
the Pearl of Wisdom that purifies the heart,
as quoted by humble "Miskin Bawa".
It is Master Guru wondrous pearl.
For those with pure bodies,
it is the Primal Pearl of wisdom [3])",

It is no pleasantry.

They plot a plot
(a plot of the 1 becoming the 4,
of the 4 becoming the 5,
of the 5 becoming the 6 and the 10,
and of the 10 becoming the 12,
the 12 signs of the zodiac,
with the 1 below and the 2 above ruling over the 9,
And with the 9 planets, the 9 openings ruling over him,
until he "Sees God and Steadies God" within him,
a plot of "separation and differences" that God has given him,
a plot of arrogance, karma, illusion, mind and desire,
that God has given him,
a plot of "body, trick, and danger [4]"
that God has given him on the "outside" of him.

And they plot a plot,
of the "evil action of kalam (or time) within him,
that God has also given to him, within him,
that leads him to Kalan, to the Angel of death [peace be upon Him] within him [5]",
that leads him to the "suffering of the grave" within him,
where he meets for the first time the 5 elemental spirits within us,
the 5 ruhanies within him, that he grew in his ignorance within him,
that he failed to bring to a good state within him,
in partnership with God within him, before he died to the flesh,
that he failed to bring to the state
of the 5 Angels of God (peace be upon Them) within him,
of the Angels Gabriel, of Michael, of Israfil, of Isra'il,
and of Rukiel (peace be upon Them) within him,
and must now, if he dies in his current state,
roam the earth world within him
as these elemental spirits within him,
as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, and a ghost within him until Qiyamah,
until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within him.

And they plot a plot
that leads him to Qiyamah within him,
if he dies in his current state,
where he meets the Creation of God within him, for the first time,
that he failed to being to completion within him,
that he failed to bring to judgment within him,
in partnership with God within him, before he died to the flesh,
becoming now "one with" their judgment within him, after he dies to the flesh,
taking on as part of their judgment 105 million rebirths within him,
ending as a worm in hell within him
with only one level of wisdom within him,
with only one level of consciousness or feeling within him,
and in this way, with him taking on as part of their judgment within him,
if he dies in his current state,
an eternal life as "separate from" God within him)

And I plot a plot
(a plot of the 1 becoming the 3,
and of the 3 becoming the 51,
and of the 51 becoming the 20 and the 31,
and the 31 becoming the 3 and the 28,
and the 28 becoming the 3 and the 25,
with the 25 becoming the shadow of the Nur,
which is man in his current state,
in his current state of
"coming to this earth world,
forgetting Me, and falling into many a trap,
not knowing to seek himself within himself,
although God exists within man [6]".

And I plot a plot
of My 25 becoming My 24 and My 1 within him,
becoming the 1 and the 24 within him,
becoming the Nur and the Qutb that emerges out My Effulgence within him,
when he truly joins again in partnership with Me within Him,
but this time understanding his fall from My grace,
this time with the "Eye of Wisdom"
on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within him,
permanently open within him,
so Satan can never approach him again,
becoming the Shepherd and the Tree within him,
becoming the Shaikh and the Disciple within him,
if you like, if the true intention of man for the life within him,
for his soul life, is to let it again become "One with" Me within him,
before man dies to the flesh.

And I plot a plot
with the 24 becoming My Iman and the 25 becoming My Islam,
becoming in maturity My 5 within man,
becoming the "Secret form of the truth of Allah [7]" within man,
becoming Alhamd within him,
becoming the five letter form of alif, lam, mim, hay, and dahl within man,
becoming the essence of the 28 letters within him,
the essence of the 28 letters
of the Mystical Meaning of the man's body within man,
becoming the form of the Suratal Fatihah within man,
the form of the Ummul Qur'an within man,
the form of the Ummul Katab or Tablet within him,
which is the Mother of man's wisdom within him.  Amen.

And I plot a plot
of My 5 again becoming My 3 within man,
but this time not as My ruh, My wisdom, and My grace,
not as it came into the world from my Din,
but this time as My ruh, My wisdom and My Nur,
in a most mysterious form of grace, that is,
"In a state of expansion,
alif, lam, min and the Triple Flame that has become clear
become the ruh, the wisdom and the Nur,
in a most mysterious form of grace,
that form of grace becoming wisdom,
wisdom becoming the Nur,
and the Nur will become God (8)" within him.

In this way, O man,
I plot a plot,
if you can only see it within your melting heart,
and in this way, O man,
"The state of silence is invaluable to you,
let the form of divine luminous wisdom
grown within the state of inner silence.
Scrutinize yourself as the consciousness
within the from of divine luminous wisdom.
It will appear as one.
That form is that and that is you.
That state is the One,
shining as the all pervading radiant effulgence [9]".

And in this way, O man,
I plot a plot,
if you can only see it in your love for Me, O man,
a plot of "Oneness and Unity", of Justice and Truth",
and of Compassion and Unity within you,
a plot of grace, wisdom, and 'ilm with you,
with you, if you like,
with you finding completion within My grace,
finding wisdom within My completion,
finding truth within My completion,
and finding Me as the "Oneness of God and True Man",
within My truth, within My wisdom,
within My completion, and within My grace you,
within you O man.  Amen.

That is if you like, O man,
because in truth the Choice is always yours, O man,
not Mine, O man,
because I have already made My Choice, O man,
and I Chose "Oneness with" you, O man,
and that is why you are now alive
within Me on the "outside" of you, o man,
to Choose,
to Choose either an eternal life as "One with" Me, O man,
or to Choose an eternal life as "separate from" Me, O man,
before you die to the flesh,
and in this way, O man,
in truth the Choice is always yours, O man,
not Mine, O man,
and in truth, O man,
there is no other Choice, O man.  Amen)

So give a respite to the disbeliever,
Deal thou gently with them for a while.
