Our Proper Relationship With God - is not being there "separate from" God 2. Our Proper Relationship With The World - is as the witness of what God is doing 3. The Nature of God, of True Man, and of Us - we are One, One within the other as One, One revealing the other within it, One hiding oneself within the Other as One reveals the Other, with faith and trust that the One being revealed will then do the same, will again reveal the One being hidden 4. The Nature of Our Relationship With God - is the ultimate self fulfilling prophesy, whatever we intend is what we receive, making either God or us responsible depending upon whom we love and trust, either God or "us", that is, "us" as "separate from" God, which is the world, is the Creation of God, which is what God has discarded 5. The Relationship Between Our Mind, Wisdom, & God - our mind will sit down only when our wisdom stands up, and our wisdom stands up when we call it, when we say "Bawa", then God is present 6. The True Shaikh Disciple Relationship - to truly join with our Shaikh we must first join with His disciples, with what He is One with, which are all of His Grandchildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters 7. How We Learn - everyone is sitting on God's lap and our wisdom is teaching us "what we do not know". This is the given of our life, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not. It is our birth right, our heritage, the true destiny of our soul 8. God Personally Wrote Our Story (The Kalimah) On Our Forehead - before we came into this earth world, when He Created each of us as Adam (peace be upon Him), as His Pure Creation, as Insan Muhammad, from a handful of earth, before God's Pen or Qalam wrote the destiny of our life in this world on our forehead, when we were born into the world, in this way, covering what God wrote earlier, and establishing our connection to our parents and to the place of birth 9. The Nature of Our "Outside" And Our "Inside" - our "outside" is the dream world within us, it is our hell, and Bawa teaches us that we must "close down the world of hell within us, re-open the world of souls within us, and then open the kingdom of God, or akhirah, the next world within us - go to Outline for Items XX to XX 10. Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? - because it becomes aware of itself, of its reality, and joins in partnership with its own reality, its "earthness", its "treeness", and its "fruitness", letting its "seedness" end, letting its living in the earth in ignorance of itself end, all the while trying to protect itself from being destroyed by the earth, letting its falsehood end 11. You are The "Oneness of God and True Man" - which is the third and final answer to the question that God asked of God in Anathi, in the time before the beginningless beginning known as Aathi, the question, "Who am I?", with the first answer being, "You are God, the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Redeemer", and the second answer being , "You are True Man", which is the Oneness of God and His Creation Text of Wisdom Points: 1. Our Proper Relationship With God - is not being there "separate from" God "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there." 2. Our Proper Relationship With The World - as the witness of what God is doing "Never have the thought that there is something that you have to do." 3. The Nature of God, of True Man, and of Us - we are One, One within the other as One, One revealing the other within it, One hiding oneself within the Other as One reveals the Other, with faith and trust that the One being revealed will then do the same, will reveal again the One being hidden "God is the Power within the Essence of Everything" within us. 4. The Nature of Our Relationship With God - is the ultimate self fulfilling prophesy, whatever we intend is what we receive, making either God or us responsible depending upon who we love and trust, either God or "us" as "separate from" God "God alone is sufficient, if we believe with our Iman, with absolute faith, certitude, and determination, without the slightest doubt, that this is true. If not, then we must take responsibility for our actions." 5. The Relationship Between Our Mind, Wisdom, & God - our mind will sit down only when our wisdom stands up, and our wisdom stands up when we call it, when we say "Bawa", then God is present "In order for the mind and desire of your lower self to sit down, the wisdom of your inner self must stand up." 6. The True Shaikh Disciple Relationship - to truly join with our Shaikh we must first truly join with His disciples, with all that He is One with, which are all of the grandchildren, sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters of the Shaikh "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be." 7. How We Learn - everyone is sitting on God's lap and our wisdom is teaching us "what we do not know". This is the given of our life, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not. It is our birth right, our heritage, the true destiny of our soul "We must let our wisdom teach us what we do not know." 8. God Personally Wrote Our Story (The Kalimah) On Our Forehead - before we came into this earth world, when He Created each of us as Adam (peace be upon Him), as His Pure Creation, as Insan Muhammad, from a handful of earth, before God's Pen or Qalam wrote the destiny of our life in this world on our forehead, when we were born into the world, in this way, covering what God wrote earlier, and establishing our connection to our parents and to the place of birth The Kalimah of God, which is our story within the story of God: "La il la ha, iIl Allahu, Muhammadar Rasulullah - There is nothing other than God, You Are Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God". 9. The Nature of Our "Outside" And Our "Inside" - our "outside" is the dream world within us, it is our hell, and Bawa teaches us that we must "close down the world of hell within us, re-open the world of souls within us, and then open the kingdom of God, or akhirah, the next world within us, then, "The alif becomes the pilar of the sukun of the mim." 10. Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? - because it becomes aware of itself, of its reality, and joins in partnership with its own reality, its "earthness", its "treeness", and its "fruitness", letting its "seedness" end, letting its living in the earth in ignorance of itself end, all the while trying to protect itself from being destroyed by the earth, letting its falsehood end "Why does an apple seed germinate?" "An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow. Then the earth becomes aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree within it to grow." "Then out of that mutual awareness, the earth surrenders to the apple seed and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and that is why an apple seed germinate." "That is why an apple seed germinates, my dearest loving children, through awareness, through the realization of the truth that emerges from within it, not because of any influence of the 5 elemental forces that it is buried within." "Like this, in truth man is the seed of God, and He is buried within God, and God contains everything necessary for that seed of God to grow into the Tree of God, which is True Man." "And when man comes to the point in his life when this truth of him emerges from within him, and if at that time he realizes, understands, accepts, and joins with that truth of him, then God within him will realize that man now knows "who he is", that he is the seed of God, and that man now knows "where he is", that he is within God, and God is within him, within the wisdom within him, like the apple fruit is hidden within the apple tree that is hidden within the apple seed that is buried within the earth." "And that man now knows "what is happening", that God is happening, by first allowing True Man to happen, first allowing True Man to be revealed within the Creation of God, first allowing the Tree of God to be revealed from within the Seed of God, so True Man can then reveal God within the Creation of True Man, so the Tree of God can then reveal the Fruit of God from within the Tree of God." "And that man now knows, that God contains everything necessary for that seed of God to grow into the Tree of God, into True Man within the Creation of God, and for the Tree of God to bear fruit, to reveal God within the Creation of True Man." "Then out of this mutual awareness, God surrenders to man and man surrenders to God, and True Man is revealed within the Creation of God, within the 18,000 universes within this world, and then God is revealed within the Creation of True Man, within the 99 qualities of God in the next world, and in this way revealing the Oneness of God and True Man, which in truth is God and True Man". Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. So be it, So be it, O Ruler of the Universes. So be it, So be it, O Most Merciful One. So be it, So be it, O Most Compassionate One. All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone. Only God is great. 11. You are The "Oneness of God and True Man" - which is the third and final answer to the question that God asked of God in Anathi, in the time before the beginningless beginning known as Aathi, the question, "Who am I?", with the first answer being, "You are God, the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Redeemer", and the second answer being , "You are True Man", which is the Oneness of God and His Creation - In process.
