- Spiritual Letter 08 - "Only God Is Good" Page 5 of 7 Written by: Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) on the 18th thru the 24th of October, 2001 to Aziza (Bitsy Weiss) Wisdom Point: His Holiness, "There Are No Good People, Only God Is Good" Go To: Outline of This Letter Go To: Text of This Letter Outline of This Letter: 3. The Rest of Page 5 - but without an outline Text of This Letter: 1. Opening Prayer Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Al-hamdu lillah. In sha 'allah, ma sha 'allah. Tawakkal-Allah. Allahumma labbaik. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone. If God so wills, whatever God wills. I place my trust in God, and in God alone, and am obedient to His will, and to His will alone. May all responsibility be given to Allah, the One who is limitless grace, and incomparable love, the One who gives us His blessings. 2. Nothing Is As We Are Seeing It My dearest loving sister Aziza, nothing is as we see it, as we are currently seeing or experiencing it, because we are seeing everything as separate from God, as separate from each other, and as separate from the creations of God. In this way, because of our state of consciousness, our consciousness of "separate from", nothing is as we are currently seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or feeling it - not us, not God, not our brothers and sisters, not the world, not the creations of God, not the Fellowship, not our friends and relatives, not our family, not our husbands or wives, not our country, not our prayers, not our duty, not our love, not anything. For as His Holiness teaches us, "There is no world, there is no body, there is no self, there is nothing that is "I". All that you see is a dream. All that you do is just a thought within that dream. All that you appear as is hidden Life is a feast of the world. Its medicine is a time after a time." We must be very careful, my dearest loving sister Aziza, not to engage the world, not to engage and participate in the drama that is the world, not to engage the world as we currently see, experience, and understand it. His Holiness teaches us that this could be very dangerous for the life of our soul, because none of world is as we see and understand it, because what we currently see and understand as the world, as desire, as the mind, as pleasure, as sadness, as karma or destiny, and even as time, is false. For as His Holiness teaches us in the book, "Wisdom of Man", on page 54. ----- beginning of quotation by His Holiness ----- "May all of you dispel the disease known as the world, the dog known as desire, the demon known as the mind, the torpor known as illusion, the pleasure that is the dream, the sadness that is the darkness of ignorance, the karma that is the torpor of the world, the evil actions of kalam (time, which is comprised of arrogance, karma, and illusion), that lead you to Kalan (the Angel of Death), and the nature and games of the five elements that collect and praise time." "May you all dispel all these things and go beyond them to Allah, the original treasure which stands in the open space, the treasure of the innermost heart. May God give you the grace of His wisdom to dispel all these evils. Amen. May God fill your hearts with His grace. Amen." ----- end of quotation by His Holiness ----- 3. The Rest of Page 5 - but without an outline In addition, His Holiness teaches us that to find fault with anyone or anything is to find fault with God, for God is the one who is conducting everything, not us, God is the one who is conducting the lives of everyone, not us, God is the one who is conducting the lives of you and me, not us, the lives of all of our brothers and sisters both in Israel and in Palestine, and in every other place in the world, not our brothers and sisters in these places. For as His Holiness teaches us in the wonderful book, "Islam and World Peace", in the last chapter or Epilogue, page 140, "Our entire life and everything that happens to us is conducted by Allah, not by us. He is the one who carries out everything. He is the cause and the effect ." And as His Holiness teaches us, "My son, you must not find fault with any of God's creations. You must realize that the center is within. You must open your wisdom, stand in the center, and look intently at yourself. Then you will understand the point." "Do not waste your time looking at other people. If you look at other people and try to figure out why they act the way they do, everything will go wrong, because each person sees his own faults in others." So what are we to take from the events of September 11th, 2001, in New York City and Washington D.C., and from the events that started on October 7th, 2001, in Afghanistan? Who is at fault? Who is to blame? Who is the enemy? Who is the aggressor and who is the victim? What is the justice and what is the injustice in these actions? Why did it happen? And why does it continue to happen? To answer these questions let us continue to reflect on the life and teaching of His Holiness, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), let us continue to sit at the feet of His Holiness, and let Him guide us on the path of God, let us join with His Holiness, handing to His Holiness with each breath, with each look, with each thought and intention, with each experience, all that we are, allowing His Holiness to resolve us, to resolve all that we are within Him, allowing His Holiness to cure Himself of us, and in this way to complete what He has started with us, within God within us, which is to reveal True Man within True Man within God, by revealing God within True Man, allowing God to finish what God started within His Holiness within us, to reveal God within God within His Holiness, by revealing True Man within God. In this way, let us look at a few additional things that His Holiness teaches us, let us join with His Holiness in this way to explore the inner meaning and significance of these events. My dearest loving sister Aziza, we must never rush to a conclusion about anything, because the answer to our questions, or the resolution of our problems, is not the point. The point is always our turning to God, our turning to God within His Holiness within us, to answer our questions, to resolve our problems. That is always the point of anything that we do. In this way, the point of answering our questions is always how we get our answers, and the point of resolving our problems is always how we solve our problems, not a particular answer or resolution itself. In this way, the point of our life is always in the how, not in the what. The what of our life is always transitory, always temporary, always specific to a particular time and situation, and always changing depending on what is happening. But the how of our life is much more permanent, is much more transferable, much more certain and useful. In this way, how we get our answers, and how we resolve our problems, is always the point, not a specific answer to a question, or a specific resolution to a problem. For example, did we answer our question or solve our problem by turning to the lives of darkness within us, to the lives of separation within us, or to the illusory lives that we see as existing "outside" of us, or did we turn to something within us that transcends all of these illusory things, that can help us transcend all of these illusory things, did we turn to God, did we turn to the life and teaching of God within us, which for this age, is the life and teaching of His Holiness within us. Questions may come and be answered, and problems may come and be resolved, but once we learn to turn to God, to trust in God, to turn to and trust in the life and teaching of God within us, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness within us, instead of turning to and trusting in what we see or experience with our physical life, to answer all of our questions and resolve all of our problems, then all of our questions and all of our problems will begin to fade away, because in truth they all only exist within our mind and desire, within the temporary lives of selfishness within us, not within the truth within us, not within the life of His Holiness within us, not within the life of God within the life of His Holiness within us, not within the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us. In this way, the point of everything that we do, that we see and experience, is our growing relationship with God, our growing relationship with God within His Holiness within us, the point of everything is always the divine relationships within us that we turn to, that we trust in, to help us deal with everything that is placed before us, rather than our physical relationships, the physical relationship that all exist "outside" of us, that are always a part of what is placed before us, a part of what nourishes the lives of separation and differences that we have grown within us, a part of the life of drama that we only experience in the world that we see "outside" of us. In this way, in truth the answers to our apparent questions, the resolution of our apparent problems, that we in our ignorance are seeking, by turning to God, by turning to God within His Holiness within us, are the vehicle that God has given us to establish these divine relationships within us, and once established, these divine relationships become the focus of our life, not the things of the world that are always happening all around us, or the lives of darkness within us, that love to play in, and be nourished by, the drama of life that we see as existing "outside" of us. Also, we must give God time to answer our questions, we must learn how God functions within His Holiness and how His Holiness functions within each of us, and we must do this, by trusting in and using what God has given His Children for this age, by using the life and teaching of His Holiness, by sitting in the "presence of God" on the lap of His Holiness, trusting in God as our Creator, our Nourisher, and our Sustainer, knowing without the slightest doubt that God is our Father, our Ruler, and our Redeemer, and that His Holiness is the "presence of God" in our life. And knowing, as His Holiness teaches us, without the slightest doubt, that "La ilaha, Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasulullah - There is nothing other than God, You are Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of God." And knowing, as His Holiness teaches us, that "Not a blade of grass moves without God's permission". My dearest loving sister Aziza, this is the only way that we can ever find any peace or tranquility in this world or the next. This is the only way that we can find contentment or peace about what happened in the past, about what is happening in the present, or about what might happen in the future, by using God to understand it, by using what God has given to each of us for this age to know and understand Him, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness. This is the only way that we can correctly know anything, and become peaceful about and understand anything, about anything that happens to us and to any of the lives that have been born with us. In this age, we can only come to such an understanding, we can only find understanding and peace in this world and in the next world, by using what God has given us for this age, by using the life and teaching of His Holiness, not by using what God has discarded, not by trying to figure it out by ourselves as separate from God, as separate from His Holiness, not by trying to make sense out of it by looking at it through the life of separation and differences that has grown over our soul, not by looking at it through the life of selfishness that currently separates us from God, that separates us from all of the brothers and sisters that have been born with us, in the world of souls, in this world, and in the next world, and that separates us from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us. Using these things, using the things discarded by God, using "our" life that is separate from God, which is the life of "you" and "I" living in the world that we see outside of "us", which is our life and our understanding separate from God, using the lives of darkness that has secretly taken over our heart, we will never find any true understanding or peace about anything. We must realize this without the slightest doubt. If we use these things, the things discarded by God, rather than using the life that is one with God, rather than using the life of the open heart, which is the God realized heart, rather than using the life of the qualities and actions of God, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness, we will never get to any correct and peaceful understanding of September 11th, or October 7th, or of any day in the past, present, or future, or of anything that happened in the past, is happening now, or will happen to us in the future, or will happen to any of our brothers and sisters, in America, in the Middle East, or anywhere else in the world. Only by placing our faith and trust in God, only by using the gift that God has given to all of us in this age to understand Him, and to understand what is happening in this world and the next, which is the gift of God known as the life and teaching of His Holiness, can we gradually come to the clarity that everything is perfect in our life, and in all life, that nothing is flawed, nothing is broken, nothing needs to be fixed, that everything makes sense and is perfect, and should be praised at all times, saying at all times, "Al-hamdu lillah", trusting in God at all times, for the past, the present, and the future, saying "Tawakkul-Allah, Al-hamdu lillah" But we can only do this, we can only come to this realization of the perfection of God, and of all that He does, which is everything, by becoming One with God, by becoming One with what God has given us for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness. As long as we stay separate from God, and for this age that means staying separate from the life and teaching of His Holiness, all we will see when we look at the world is a show, a drama, a drama of separations and differences, a drama of "mine" and "yours", of my religion and your religion, of my country and your country, of my rights and your rights, of my family and your family, of my wife and your wife, of my husband and your husband, of my children and your children. This is all that we will ever see through our eyes of separation and differences. For His Holiness teaches us, as long as we maintain the life of separation and differences within us, "We are looking at the world in the same way that demons look at the world." My dearest loving sister Aziza, we must realize, that only in this way, only by becoming one with God within us, by joining in partnership with His Holiness within us, can we begin to see what is really happening in the world around us, can we begin to see that it is all really happening within each one of us, within each of our lives and within each of our hearts, can we begin to see the world from the perspective of God and True Man within us, from the perspective of what God and True Man see and do within us, from the perspective of what God is always trying to do within His Holiness within us, which is to reveal God within God, by revealing True Man within God. And from the perspective of what True Man, what His Holiness is always trying to do within us, within each of His Children for this age, within His Life and His Heart for this age, which is the life and teaching of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness for this age, which is to reveal True Man within True Man, by revealing God within True Man. This is what His Holiness describes as the story of God within the story of man, and the story of man within the story of God. And the completion of the story of God within the story of man, is God, and the completion of the story of man within the story of God, is True Man. And in this way man and God are one, one within the other as one. One always revealing the other within it, one always hiding itself within the other within it. This is like what is always going on in the apple tree and the apple seed. The apple seed is always revealing the apple seed within the apple seed, by revealing the apple tree within the apple seed, and the apple tree is always revealing the apple tree within the apple tree, by revealing the apple seed within the apple tree. And the story of the apple seed is within the story of the apple tree, and the story of the apple tree is within the story of the apple seed. And the completion of the story of the apple seed within the story of the apple tree is the apple seed, and the completion of the story of the apple tree within the story of the apple seed is the apple tree. And in this way the apple seed and the apple tree are one, one within the other as one. One always revealing the other within it, one always hiding itself within the other within it. And His Holiness teaches us, that God is always telling the story of True Man within God by revealing True Man within God and by hiding God within True Man, and True Man is always telling the story of God within True Man by revealing God within True Man and by hiding True Man within God. Like this the apple seed is always telling the story of the apple tree by revealing the apple tree within the apple seed and by hiding the apple seed within the apple tree, and the apple tree is always telling the story of the apple seed by hiding the apple tree within the apple seed, and revealing the apple seed within the apple tree. This is what is always happening from the perspective of the apple tree and the apple seed, each is revealing itself within itself by revealing the other within itself and at the same time by hiding itself within the other, and this is what God and True Man are always doing. God is always revealing True Man within God and hiding Himself within the same True Man that He is revealing, and True Man is always revealing God within True Man and hiding Himself within the same God that He is revealing. And in this way, like the apple seed and the apple tree, True Man and God are one, one within the other as one, one always revealing the other within it, one always hiding itself within the other within it, as it reveals the other. And this is the only thing, the only real thing, the one thing, that is really happening in the apple tree and the apple seed, and that is happening in God and man. But it will only happen in our life if we realize, understand, and accept this truth, and join in partnership with it, if we join in partnership with the life and teaching of His Holiness, which is what causes this to happen within us, when we realize, understand, accept, and join with it, which causes True Man to reveal True Man within us by revealing God within True Man within us, and causes God to reveal God within us by revealing True Man within God within us. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. So, God's work is to reveal God within God by revealing True Man within God, and God does this by revealing True Man within God and by hiding God within True Man, and this becomes the Tree of God within God, and the seed of God hidden within it, with True Man within God being the Tree of God, being the Tree of Iman, the Tree of Muhammadar Rasulullah, and God hidden within True Man being the seed of God, the seed of Islam, which is maturity is the station of Allah Muhammad. And True Man's work is to reveal True Man within True Man by revealing God within True Man, and True Man does this by revealing God within True Man and hiding True Man within God, and this becomes the Fruit of God within True Man, and the seed of True Man hidden within it, with God within True Man being the Fruit of God, being the Asma al-husna, the 99 beautiful names of Allah, being the plenitude of the 99 duties of God, being the sifat of God's dhat, being the manifestation of God's essence, and being the 99 wilayats of God, which are the actions of God which stem from the manifestations of God's essence (see page 146, under the term Asma al-husna, in the book, "Islam and World Peace") And with True Man hidden within God being the seed of True Man, the seed of Iman, which in maturity is the station of the Nur Muhammad. And True Man does this work of hiding True Man within God, of creating the seed of True Man, the seed of Iman, within the Fruit of God, by first hiding True Man within man, by hiding the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (A.S.) within God, and then by hiding man within the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, by hiding Adam (A.S.) as Eve (A.S.). And God does this work of revealing True Man within God, of revealing the Tree of God within God, the Tree of Iman, the Tree of Muhammadar Rasulullah, with the branches of the 124,000 Prophets of God and the Fruits of the 6,666 verses of the Holy Qur'an, by revealing man within the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, as Adam (A.S.) within Eve (A.S.), by revealing True Man within man, as the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (A.S.), and by revealing God within True Man as Akhirah within the dunya, as Allah Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad, as Allahu within the Primal One. And nothing of all this is flawed, nothing of all this within us is flawed, nothing of all this within anyone or anything is flawed, because in truth God is the one, and the only one, who is doing anything within us, within anyone, or within anything. And as such everything within us, everything within everyone and everything is perfect, is the perfection of God, if we have but the eyes within us to see it, if we have but the faith, certitude, and determination in God within us to see it, if we have but the life and the heart within us to see it, if we have but the wisdom or consciousness of God, of His Holiness, within us to see it, if we have but the heart or teaching of God, of His Holiness, within us to see it. For as His Holiness teaches us, "A Sufi is one who settles into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect." But if instead of using God to answer our questions, if instead of using what God is within us, which is the "presence of God" within us, which is the "presence of His Holiness" within us, to answer our questions, if instead of using what God has placed within each of us, within each of the Children of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness, to answer our questions and resolve our problems, if instead of using the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God, to answer our questions and resolve our problems, if we try to use what God has discarded to answer our questions and resolve our problems, we will never find the correct answers to our questions or correctly resolve any of our problems, and we will never find the place of peace and contentment within us, from which all correct answers come, from which all problems are correctly resolved. If instead of using God, if we try to use the lives of separation and differences that have grown within us, the lives within us that live in the 9 openings of our body, if instead of using God and the things of God within us, if we try to use these other things, if we try to use ourselves, our understanding of God, our religion, our family, our friends, our groups, and all of the other things within us that only serve to separate us from God, that serve to separate us from each other, and from the creation of God, if instead of God, instead of the life of God within us, if we try to use the lives of darkness within us, the lives of separation and differences that have grown over the life of Light within us, we will never find an answer to our questions, a resolution to our problems, or the place of peace and contentment within us, either in this world or the next. If instead of using our original life of Light, and all of the things of God connected to it, if instead of this, if we try and use the false and temporary life that has grown over our original life, that has grown over the one true life within us, that has grown over the life of oneness within us, the life of Light within us, which is the life of our soul, the life of God within us, the life of His Holiness within us, if instead of God we use all of the things that have been discarded by God to try and answer our questions and resolve our problems, we will never find the correct answer to our questions, or the correct resolution to our problems, or come to any peace or tranquility about anything we see or experience while living in this world or the next, because peace and tranquility will only be realized in partnership with God, in our oneness with God, and for this age our partnership with God, our oneness with God, is our partnership with His Holiness, is our oneness with the life and teaching of His Holiness. This is absolutely true, my dearest loving sister Aziza, because this life of darkness, that we in our ignorance have grown and brought to maturity within us, will always try to make us look "outside" of ourselves to answer our questions and resolve our problems. It will never tell us or guide us to look within ourselves to answer our questions and resolve our problems. It will always try to make us look at things through our ignorance, through the lives of separation and differences that have grown within us, through the lives of selfishness that live and are nourished in the nine opening of our body, the lives of selfishness within us that are nourished through our every look of separation, our every thought, intention, and action of separation, and even by our prayers and duties of separation. And even more subtlety, we must realize without the slightest doubt that this life of darkness that we in our ignorance have allowed to grow within us, to grow over our soul, over the life of purity within us, over the life of oneness with God within us, is our only enemy, because it is always working against us, it is always working against our soul, against the true destiny of our soul, which is to merge back into the oneness of God, from which we all came. We must realize without the slightest doubt that this enemy within us, this enemy of our soul, is always trying to get us to look "outside" of ourselves, at the illusory world around us in order to answer all of our questions and resolve all of our problems, it is always trying to make us identify with our illusory body as "who we are", and to make us see this illusory body, which only lives in this illusory world, as "our" reality, as our only reality, as what defines us. We must realize, that this "enemy within" is always trying to make us build illusory relationships with other illusory bodies living in this illusory world, and is always encouraging us to see these illusory or false relationships of family, wife, husband, children, religion, work, and friends as "our" real relationships, rather than our "true relationship" with God within His Holiness within us, with the 124,000 prophets of God within us, with the 1000 generosities of God within us. And in this way, it is always trying to make us live "outside" of ourselves, rather than live "inside" of ourselves, it is always trying to make us live "outside" as the only proper or real way to conduct our lives, to answer all of our questions, and to understand and solve all of our problems. And it works in this way, this "enemy of our soul" works in this way, because our looking "outside" of ourselves through our ignorance, rather than "inside" of ourselves through our wisdom, through the life and teaching our His Holiness, nourishes the lives of darkness within us, nourishes the lives of separation within us, the lives of separation and differences within us that in truth are the children of the life of darkness within us. In this way, the life of darkness within us, this "enemy within", uses us, uses the life of our soul, which is our consciousness of oneness, which is our wisdom, and uses the palace of our soul, which is our purified heart, in order to give birth to, feed, nourish, grow, and protect its children of darkness, its children of separation and differences, transforming the life of the soul, the life of purity within us, the life of God within us, into the 6 faces of darkness, the six deadly sins - lust, anger or hatred, miserliness, delusion or greed, bigotry, and malice or envy - and at the same time, transforming the palace of the soul within us, the original house of the soul known as Adam (A.S.) within us, into the world of illusion that we see "outside" of us, into the island of hell within the dunya, that we see through the nine openings of hell in our body - the two eyes, the two ears, the nose, the mouth, and the two openings below. And in this way, the life of darkness within us, is always trying to make us divide the illusory world "outside" of us into friends and foes, into good people and evil people, into right and wrong groups, into different religions, races, or countries, rather that allowing us to use God within us, to use the consciousness of God within us, the consciousness of the oneness of God within us, to use our wisdom, which is the life of His Holiness within us, to look "inside" of ourselves, and using this sixth level of wisdom within us, using Divine Analytic Wisdom, to separate ourselves into good and evil, into right and wrong, into the 7 heavens within us, and the 7 hells within us, that God has created and placed within each of us. And in this way, allowing us to return to the original state of our heart, as the palace of the soul, which is the state of Adam (A.S.) before the spit of satan and the fall of Adam (A.S.), and to the original state of our consciousness, as the seven levels of wisdom, as the state of the Nur Muhammad which God placed on the forehead of Adam (A.S.) within us, as the Divine Luminous Wisdom of God, and the state of the six lights of God, which separated from the Nur Muhammad, and which God further separated and placed within Adam (A.S.), as the six levels of wisdom of Muhammad (A.S.) within us, as the six faces of clarity within us, as the Divine Analytic Wisdom of the Qutb of God within us, Qutb, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him). Allowing us to return to the original state of Adam (A.S.) within us, before the spit of satan and the fall of Adam (A.S.), by understanding the spit of satan, which is the male sperm, and the fall of Adam (A.S.), which is our birth into the world of illusion out of the womb of our mother, this state of understanding within us which is the state of the Kalimah, allowing Adam (A.S.) to complete the journey that Adam (A.S.) was on before the spit of satan weakened Adam (A.S.), and the fall of Adam (A.S.) transformed Adam (A.S.) into Eve (A.S.), into the world of illusion that we now see as existing "outside" of us. And all of this is accomplish within each of us, by joining in partnership with the life and teaching of His Holiness, allowing us in partnership with His Holiness to come to an understanding of the spit of satan and the fall of Adam (A.S.), allowing us in partnership with His Holiness to extract or harvest from Adam (A.S.), from the palace of the soul within us, from the Purified Heart, the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God, which will allow the life of God within us, which is our soul, to come to maturity within us, and to join with the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the light of wisdom within us, the body of the soul, making our life eternal, and allowing the soul within us to become one with God in Akhirah as the seven levels of wisdom within us, giving sound to the life and teaching of God for this age, to the life and teaching of His Holiness, as the Resonance of Allah, for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us. Thereby allowing the handful of purified earth known as Adam (A.S.), known as the heart of man, to come to maturity as the qalb or innermost heart of man, transforming this illusory world within us, this dot under the Arabic letter "ba", into the dunya, into the 18,000 universes within us, into the sukun or circle on top of the Arabic letter 'mim', by closing down the world of hell within us, which are the fires of hell within us, as well as the world of jinns, and the world of fairies within us, thereby transforming the dunya into Akhirah within us, transforming the 18,000 universes into the Kingdom of God or the hereafter within us, into the 8th heaven or Firdaus within us, allowing the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the seed of True Man, the seed of iman, to come to maturity within us as the form of the Kalimah or Iman, revealing within it Allah Muhammad, which is the seed of the oneness of God, the seed of Islam within us, which in maturity is the form of the Holy Qur'an or Iman-Islam. Such is the real problem of our life, my dearest loving sister Aziza, which is the loss of our soul and our true body, which is the loss of the life of God within us, which is the consciousness of oneness within us, and the loss of our pure open heart which God created within us as Adam (A.S.), which in maturity is the living Qur'an within us, the Umm al-Qur'an, the Mother of man's wisdom, the lose of the life and teaching of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness. Such is the real problem of our life, my dearest loving sister Aziza, which are the lives of darkness within us that are preventing God and True Man from bringing to completion what They started within each of us, within each of God's Children for this age, which is the story of God within the story of man, and the story of man within the story of God, which in completion is the oneness of True Man and God within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. This is the real consequence of living in ignorance of "who we are", of "who God is", and of "the true relationship between man and God", of allowing the life of darkness to keep us living in the world that we see as existing "outside" of us, of allowing the life of darkness to use us as its host for its children of darkness, its children of separation and differences, its children which will never die within us, except through the justice of God within us. For His Holiness teaches us that these children of darkness within us will never die, even if we die, unless we join with God to bring them to justice within us before we die, by joining with His Holiness within us to pass judgement on each and every one of them within us, before we die, all within the justice of God within us, sending each of them, according to their actions and qualities within us, to one of the 7 heavens or 7 hells that we have joined with His Holiness to reveal within us. And if we fail to do this, then these very same lives of darkness within us, which don't die when we die, become the suffering of our grave, becomes the lives of separation and differences that will forever keep us separate from God, separate from all of the brothers and sisters that have been born with us, and separate from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us. My dearest loving sister Aziza, this is what we have become a slave to, this is what we are currently nourishing by living a life that is one with the lives of separation and differences within us, the lives of darkness within us, this is the life that we are currently living, nourishing, and maturing, when we live in the world that "we" see "outside" of us. May we all reflect on these wisdom points by His Holiness a little, my dearest loving sister. It could save us from the suffering of the grave, because the suffering of the grave is but these lives of separation and differences, these lives of darkness, that we have given life to within us, these lives of darkness within us which don't die when we die, these lives of darkness within us which when we die become the suffering of our grave, these lives of darkness within us that eat us in our grave after we die because we can no longer feed them through our life in the illusory world that we currently see as existing "outside" of us.
