My love you (anbu), my dearest brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) 1. Introduction And Opening Prayer - O our Father, our Shaikh, our Guru, we need Your love, please, please, please destroy us and reveal You Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum, my dearest brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). This letter represents the 3rd of the 5 letters that have been written to you over the last month, from the heart of this child, in response to your last letter to this child. That is, 1) Spiritual Letter 24 - Stop Talking About Being Good, And Instead Become Good 2) Spiritual Letter 25 - The True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Is Not Us, But Is Within Us 3) Spiritual Letter 26 - The Three Testaments of God (which is this letter). 4) Spiritual Letter 27 - The Three Judgments of God 5) Spiritual Letter 28 - The Wisdom of Truth Most Become The Action of Truth What a wonder is this God of ours, and the gift of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), for the Children of God for this age, which are the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is everyone living in this age. And the incredible adventure reflected in these 5 letters, the adventure of sitting on the lap of God as Bawa teaches us "what we do not know", all started with the following prayer, in Spiritual Letter 24. "O our Father, our Shaikh, our Guru, we need Your love, Please, Please, Please Destroy us and reveal You." "Destroy us as separate from You and You as separate from us, And reveal us as One with You and You as One with us." "Destroy the life of separation and differences that You have given us, And reveal the life of Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, And of Compassion and Unity that You have also given us. "Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah, Allahu Akbar." 2. The Three Testaments of God - are the Testaments from God for the three ages of man, that came into the world through the Three Sons of Abraham (peace be upon Him), first through the lineage of Isaac (peace be upon Him), the true third son of Abraham (peace be upon Him), second through the lineage of Ishmael (peace be upon Him), the true second son of Abraham (peace be upon Him), and third and lastly, through the lineage of Iman, or Abraham in the pit of fire, the true first son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) These Three Testaments of God are summarized in the following table, Table 1, and represent the three attempts made by God to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, and of True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, with the third son of Abraham, Isaac (peace be upon Them), providing the lineage from Abraham to Moses to David (peace be upon Them) for the first testament of God, coming into the world in that age as the religion or path of Judaism (2000 BC to 0 BC/O AD). And with the second son of Abraham, Ishmael (peace be upon Them), providing the lineage from Abraham to Muhammad to Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with all of Them), for the second testament of God, coming into the world as the religions or paths of Christianity and Islam (0 AD to 2000 AD). And finally, with the first true son of Abraham, which is Iman, or Abraham in the pit of fire (peace be upon Him) within us, which in truth is our stomach, providing the lineage from Abraham (peace be upon Him) to Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), providing for the third and final testament of God, which is happening right now in our age, both "inside" and "outside" of us, as the true new testament of God, as the New Age Qur'an, coming into the world in our age, as the religion or path of Iman-Islam (1886 AD to 2086 AD), as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), to all who are living in this age.

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, & ..............................................................................The Teaching of Bawa's Children And as a way to start explaining and understanding these three Testaments of God, and their significance to our current life in the world, and to the world of wisdom within us, let us take a look at the following story that you shared with us in your last letter, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, the story about the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) at the time of His death, and God's apparent judgment of Him, and see what we can learn from it. And let us also offer a new version of that story, that shifts the focus off of Moses (peace be upon Him) and puts it onto the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him), and their descendents, which is all of us, where we believe it properly belongs. What a wonder is this God of ours, and how He works to bring us together to move forward what He is doing within all of us. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 3. The Story About The Judgement of Moses - at the time of the death of Moses (peace be upon Him), is the story that God judged Moses (peace be upon Him) as lacking, keeping Him from the Promised Land, and instead accepted His followers, letting them go into the Promised Land but not Moses (peace be upon Him). A story which we believe is most certainly false. You sent us the following story: "When Moses (peace be upon Him) was going up the mountain to his death on Pisgah He asked God why it was not possible for Him to enter the Promised Land which he could see stretching out before his dying eyes. 'You doubted me,' God said to Him, 'but I forgave you that doubt. You doubted your own self and failed to believe in your own powers as a leader, and I forgave that also. But you lost faith in this people and doubted the divine possibilities of human nature. That I cannot forgive. That loss of faith makes it impossible for you to enter the Land of Promise." 4. The Story About The Judgment of The Followers of Moses - at the time of the death of Moses (peace be upon Him), is the story that God judged the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) at the time of the death of Moses (peace be upon Him) and found them lacking, because they had rejected God, Moses, and the teachings of Moses (peace be upon Him), because they had reject God and the life and teaching of God for their age, the life of God for their age which was the Qutb of God for their age, which was Moses (peace be upon Him), and the teaching of God for their age, which was the 10 commandments of God and the teaching of Moses (peace be upon Him) about the 10 openings within man, thereby keeping them from the True Promised Land, which in truth was the open, and clear heart of Moses (peace be upon Him), and giving them instead an "eternal life" of separation and differences in the world that they then saw, and that their descendents now see, as existing "outside" of them. A story that we believe is most certainly true. My dearest brother, when this child first read the story that you set us, about the judgment of Moses (peace be upon Him) by God, we immediately handed it to our Shaikh within us, to our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, within us (may God be pleased with Him), and the following clarity came to this child the very next day during morning prayers. What a wonder is this Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), this gift of God for this age, to the Children of God for this age, to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for this age. What came into my heart is the following: This story is not true. The Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) is one of the Qutbs of God, which within the context of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religions came from the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) through the lineage of Isaac (peace be upon Him). And as such, as the Qutb of God for that age, Moses (peace be upon Him) had become One with God, had become the grace of His dhat, of the Essence of God, had become the Action of His Power or wilayah, had become the 99 qualities and actions of God, and as such God would never have said these words to His Qutb, to His Divine Analytic Wisdom, for it would in truth be like God saying these words to Himself, or God saying these words to God. 5. The Nature of The Qutb of God, of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) - as the 6th level of wisdom, Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom which explains as the grace of the dhat, of the essence of God, which awakens the hayah of purity, and transforms it into divine the divine vibration. Such was the state of Moses (peace be upon Him), the leader of the Jews So what are we to take from this story that you have sent us? First, lets take a brief look at the nature of the Qutb, of the state of Moses (peace be upon Him) at that time as the leader of the Jewish people, as the leader of the Children of God for that age. Bawa teaches us the following about the nature of the Qutb of God, in the Glossary of the book, "Islam And World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi" , on page 152, Qutb (A). Divine analytic wisdom, the wisdom which explains; that which measures the length and breadth of the seven oceans of the nafs, or base desires; that which awakens all the truths which have been destroyed and buried in the ocean of maya; that which awakens true iman (absolute faith, certitude, and determination); that which explains the hayah, the state of purity as it existed in al-awwal, the beginning of creation; the grace of the dhat, the essence of God, which awakens the hayah of purity, and transforms it into divine the divine vibration. Qutb is also a name which has been given to Allah. He can be addressed as Ya Qutb or Ya Quddus, the Holy One. Quddus is His wilayah, His power or miracle, while Qutb is His action. Wilayah is the power of that action. Lit.: axis, axle, pole, pivot. Also, a title used for the great men of Islam. 6. The Judgment of the Followers of Moses at the Death of Moses (peace be upon Him) - is the first judgment of all of us as the Children of God, and we were all found wanting by God, we all came up short in God's eyes, because we all rejected the First Testament of God, not just the people of that time that we think of today and call the Jews, because at that time, in that age (2000 BC to 0 BC), the Chosen People of God, the true Children of God for that age, were all of us as the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him), such was the judgment of all of us at that time, at the death of Moses (peace be upon Him), but God, in His infinite Mercy and Compassion, gave us all a second chance, as a Second Testament & Judgment of God So to whom did God speak these words? And the answer that this child received in morning prayers, was, "This was said to the children or followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) at the time of Moses, not to Moses (peace be upon Him) who in truth was the Promised Land for the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) in that age, as the heart of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that God has personally placed within all of the Children of God for this age, is the Promised Land for each of us, the hereafter or akhirah for each of us, the purified, open, clear, and pure heart of God for each of us, for each of the Children or followers of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in this age, that we must become One with before we die, if we are ever to enter the Promised Land". My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, this was God's judgment of them, of the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) in that age, which in truth is all of us, for their failure to truly accept God in their age, to truly accept the gift of God in their age, which was the Qutb of God, the life of God within them, the Messenger of God within them, for their age, and to truly accept the teaching of God, the Testament of God for their age, that God personally placed within each of their hearts in that age, a teach and testament that was later given to them "outside" by Moses (peace be upon Him), which included the 10 Commandments and the teachings of Moses (peace be upon Him) about the 10 mystical experiences within man, which was later made into the Torah and other spiritual documents of that time. They had doubted God, and God forgave them that, and sent them His Qutb, sent them Moses (peace be upon Him), to lead them out of their captivity, which in truth was the captivity of living in their mind and desire, rather than in their open, clear hearts, this was their captivity, not as slaves of some worldly king, as the history books try to tell us, to convince us. Then they doubted the Qutb of God for their age, the life of God within them for their age, they doubted Moses (peace be upon them), and God forgave them that, and sent them the teaching of Moses (peace be upon them), explaining to them in great detail the true nature of man and God, and God's plan to use man in completing the intention of God within man, which is to reveal True Man within the Creation of God, within man, within the dunya or this world within us, so True Man within each of us can reveal God within the Creation of True Man, within akhirah or the next world within us, all of which was written down for the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) as the 10 Commandments and as the teachings of the Torah, as the First Testament of God. Then they doubted the teaching of Moses (peace be upon Him), they doubted the First Testament of God, the teaching of God for their age, and this God could not forgive, and He banished them from the true Promised Land, which is the open, and clear heart of True Man, which for their age was the open and clear heart of Moses (peace be upon Him), which in maturity became the purified heart of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and instead gave them the land that they now call the Promised Land, but which in truth is really but a living hell of separation and differences, in the world that they see as existing "outside" of them. Such is their fate, the fate of the original followers of Moses (peace be upon Him), and of all of their ancestors up to the present time, which is all of us. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, such is the true meaning of this story that come into the heart of this child, living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him),. Please forgive me if this interpretation upsets you in any way. But it is the truth. 7. The Age of The First Testament & First Judgment of God - is the time of the Jews, of the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, that occurred from 2000 BC to 0 BC, and also occurs for each one of us, on the "inside" of us, sometime before we are 20 years old, as the first coming of God into our lives, when the question is first asked of us, "Who do we trust?", God within us or the world that we see as existing "outside" of us The following table, Table 2, summarizes the age of the First Testament of God, from 2000 BC to 0 BC, and the First Judgment of God, which occurred for the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, around 1400 BC, and which occurs on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 20 years old. With this age occurring, on the "outside" of us, between the coming into the world of the Prophets Abraham and David (peace be upon Them), a time period of 1000 years, and between the coming into the world of the Prophets David and Jesus (peace be upon Them), also a time period of 1000 years, making together a time period of 2000 years. With the first 1000 years being the age before the appearance of True Man in the world, the time period between 2000 BC to 1000 BC when God first passes His Creation through the four religions or paths of God, which "outside" of us is seen and experienced as the four Religions of God, known as Hinduism, Fire Worship, Christianity, and Islam, which in truth reflect the characteristics of the 4 original elements within us, from which God made the body, the Palace of the soul, known as Adam (peace be upon Him), the 4 elements of earth, fire, air, and water, which also represent the 4 chambers of the heart. And are also seen and experienced on the "inside" of each of us as the four Steps of Spiritual Development known in Islam as Shari'at, Tariqat, Haqiqat, and Ma'rafat, but which can be found as spiritual concepts within all of the four religions. And with the second 1000 years, the time between the coming into the world of the Prophets David and Jesus (peace be upon Them), being the first age of True Man in the world, which for this age is Muhammad as the Prophet David (peace be upon Him), when True Man first appears in the world, but is really living in and ruling both worlds, from 1000 BC to 0 BC/AD, ruling both this world and the next world, both this world or the dunya, which is the Creation of God within us, and the next world or akhirah, which is the Creation of True Man within us. And in this way, while ruling in this world or dunya as Kind David (peace be upon Him), as the King of the Jews, all the while revealing God in the next world within the Creation of True Man, or akhirah, revealing God as the Oneness of True Man and His Creation within us. And ending this time period, this age, on the "outside" of us, in 0 BC/AD, with the first appearance of God in this world or dunya, as Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the life of the soul joined with the wisdom of God within us, as the soul of God having been liberated from the cross of the elemental body of man by the wisdom within us. In this way, as depicted in Table 2 below, with the First Testament of God occurring between the time of the Prophets Abraham and Moses (peace be upon Them), between 2000 BC and 1400 BC, and with the First Judgment of God occurring at the time of the death of Moses, for the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him), which on the "outside" of us is seen as the Jews of that time, around 1400 BC, but also is occuring on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 20 years old.

The Three Visits of God During Our Life - once before we are 20, then again once before we are 40, and finally once before we are 60. We get three chances to go the way of God, and live eternally as "one with" God, or go the way of satan, and live eternally "separate from" God. The choice is ours And there is a great lesson to be learned from this story, that like the water will rise us up three times before it will take us, only then letting us drown, so God comes three times in our life, our spiritual life, to lift us up, and take us back to Him, before He will let us go to hell, to the false Promised Land of the Jews, using the false Cross and Bible of the Christians, and the false Jihad and Qur'an of the Muslims. In this way, Bawa teaches us that God comes to us three times in our life to liberate each of us from the life of "separation and differences" that we are all currently experiencing, and take us back into Him, back into the Oneness of God and True Man that is God. In our life time God personally comes for each of us, once before we are 20, again once before we are 40, and finally once before we are 60. And Bawa also teaches us that satan also comes to each of us three times in our life time, to take us too, to take us to hell, to claim us as his followers, first once before we are 20, again one before we are 40, and finally once before we are 60. The choice is always ours. In this way, we all get these three chances, before the fate of our eternal life is sealed forever. 9. The Second Judgment of The Children of God - again we were found wanting, again we came up short in the eyes of God, because we again all rejected the Second Testament of God, not just the people that today we call the Christians and Muslims, because at that time, in that age (0 AD to 2000 AD), the Chosen People of God, the true Children of God for that age, were all of us as the followers of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), such was the judgment of all of us at that time, at the time of the death of Muhammad (peace be upon Him), but God, in His infinite Mercy and Compassion, has now given us all a third and last chance, as the Third Testament of God, as the life and teaching of God for our age, as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) My dearest loving brother, we must think about this, and the story that you sent us, because in truth it speaks about the outcome of the first attempt by God in an earlier age to save His Creation on the "outside", which in truth is each of us on the "inside", from an eternal life of "separation from" God, and individually the people of that time, on the "inside" may have passed that test, but on the "outside", as a race and religion they failed, as the Religion known as Judaism they failed, they went to hell on the "outside", and their descendents are still struggling in that hell today, on the "outside", in that hell which they now call "The Promised Land", the land of Israel. And what of the original Christians and Muslims? Unfortunately they as a race and religion on the "outside" have also failed, in their respective ages, they too failed to accept God, the life of God within them, and the Teaching of God for their age, which God also personally placed within each of their hearts, which came to them as the Second Testament of God, which came to them as the life and teaching of the Prophets Jesus and Muhammad (may God be pleased with all of His Prophets), and of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, which came to them as the Holy Bible or "New Testament", as the Holy Qur'an, and as the life, and wisdom, and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). And as a result of their failure to properly accept the life and teaching of God for their age, they also were given the same judgment as the Jews of the earlier age, who are referred to in the Holy Qur'an as the "people of the book", not as the "people of God", they like the earlier Jews were also given the land of "separation and differences", that we all see as existing "outside" of us, as their Promised Land, but which in truth is really but a living hell of separation and differences. And in addition to this, God's judgment of the Christians also included an "outside" cross for Jesus (peace be upon them) who they are told died for their sins, giving them nothing really to do but wait to die, rather than allowing them to see the "inside" cross upon which they personally keep Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified so they can sin, rather than giving them the wisdom to liberate their own soul from the cross of their elemental body, by pulling out the 5 nails of desire for earth, fire, water, air, and ether with their wisdom, with their direct connection to God within them. And in addition to this, God's judgment of the Muslims also incuded a Holy Qur'an on the "outside" of them, that they are told never changes, locking them into one set of interpretations of what was given to them by Muhammad (peace be upon Him), rather than allowing them to see the "inside" Qur'an, the Umm al-Qur'an, which is the "source" or the "mother" of the Qur'an, the silent Qur'an which exists as a mystery within the heart (qalb) of each person, a treasure that is always changing, as we change, offering an explanation for every period of time, and for every level of understanding, continually speaking to our faith, according to the needs of the people, the difficulties they are undergoing, and the questions that they ask. 10. The Judgment of The Followers of Jesus And Muhammad (peace be upon Them) - occurred for them like it had occurred earlies for the Jews before them, at the time of the death of their true Prophet, which for the Children of God for that age was Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), and like the Jews earlier, they too failed the judgment of God, and would have to face a terrible ordeal at the time of their death In this way, Bawa teaches us that like Moses (A.S.) and His followers, and God's judgment of them, the followers of Jesus and of Muhammad (peace be upon Them) received the same judgment by God. And like at the time of the death of Moses (peace be upon Him), this same judgement by God of the Creation of God living at the time of Muhammad (Sal.) also occurred at the time of the death of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), a judgment of all of the followers of Muhammad which God sent to Muhammad (Sal.) through the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him), through the Angel of Death that came to collect the life of Muhammad (Sal.), when He was 62 years old in Medina. In this story, Bawa teaches us that Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), asked the Angel of Dearth (peace be upon Him), how the Angel of Death (A.S.) would take the life of Muhammad (Sal.), and the Angel of Death said, "I will take your life like a baby suckles milk." And then the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him) asked the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) how he would take the life of His followers, of the followers of Muhammad (Sal.), of all of the Creation of God living at the time of Muhammad (Sal.). And the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) put his finger on the chest of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), and Bawa tells us that it was as heavy as the Himalayan Mountains. This was the judgment of God upon all of the Creation of God living at that time, on the "outside" of us 600 years after the birth of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of each of us on the "inside" of us before the age of 40, the suffering that all of the followers of Muhammad (Sal.) would have to experience at the time of their death, the judgment of God for all of the Creation of God living at the time of Muhammad (Sal.), and for all of those born after the time of Muhammad (Sal.), up to the present time, and to the end of time, that we would all be banished from a life of Oneness with God, to live for eternity in a state of "separation from" God, of "separation from" True Man, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us. This was the same judgment that had come upon the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him), that they would be excluded from the true Promised Land of God. In this way, it was the same judgment of those who received the Second Testament of God in their age, as it was for those who received the First testament of God in their age. We must think about this a little, my dearest loving brother, and reflect on its meaning, it is very, very, important. Then Bawa tells us that upon hearing this judgment by God upon all of the followers of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), upon all of the Creation of God living at the time of Muhammad (Sal.), the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) immediately went into prayer, and pleaded with God to change their judgment, to make their judgment the same as His judgment, the same as His, that their life too would be taken by the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him), "Like a baby suckles milk." And Bawa tells us that God accepted His Dua, that God accepted this pray of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him) to God, and God provided another chance for the followers of Muhammad (Sal.), as well as for the followers of Jesus (peace be upon Him, and for the followers of Moses (peace be upon Him, as well as for the followers of the 124,000 Prophets of God that have come into the world repeatedly to save mankind, over the last 200 million years, since the coming of Adam (peace be upon Him) into the world, to save mankind from themselves, from a life of separation and differences, a life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God, that God has so lovingly placed within each of us. 11. The Age of The Second Testament & Second Judgment of God - is the time of the Christians and the Muslims, of the followers of Jesus and of Muhammad (peace be upon Them) on the "outside" of us, that occurred from 0 AD to 2000 AD, and also occurs for each one of us, on the"inside" of us, sometime before we are 40 years old, as the first coming of God into our lives, when the question is first asked of us, "Who do we love?", God within us or the world that we see as existing "outside" of us The following table, Table 3, summarizes the age of the Second Testament of God, from 0 AD to 2000 AD, which is today, and the Second Judgment of God, which occurred for the followers of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them) on the "outside" of us, around 600 AD, and which occurs on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 40 years old. With this age occurring, on the "outside" of us, between the coming into the world of the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon Him) and of the Qutb of God, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) , a time period of 1000 years, and between the coming into the world of the Qutb of God, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) and Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), also a time period of 1000 years, making together a time period of 2000 years. With the first 1000 years being the age before the second appearance of True Man in the world, the time period between 0 AD to 1000 AD when God passes His Creation through the four religions or paths a second time, which "outside" of us is seen and experienced as the four Religions of God, known as Hinduism, Fire Worship, Christianity, and Islam, which in truth reflect the characteristics of the 4 original elements within us, from which God made the body, the Palace of the soul, known as Adam (peace be upon Him), the 4 elements of earth, fire, air, and water, which also represent the 4 chambers of the heart. And are also seen and experienced on the "inside" of each of us as the four Steps of Spiritual Development known in Islam as Shari'at, Tariqat, Haqiqat, and Ma'rafat, but which can be found as spiritual concepts within all of the four religions. And with the second 1000 years, the time between the coming into the world of the Qutb of God, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) and Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), being the second age of True Man in the world, which for this age is Muhammad as the Qutb of God, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), when True Man appears for a second time in the world, and again, as with His first appearance, living in and ruling both worlds, from 1000 AD to 2000 AD, which is today, ruling both this world and the next world, both this world or the dunya, which is the Creation of God within us, and the next world or akhirah, which is the Creation of True Man within us. And in this way, while ruling in this world or dunya as the King of the Christians and the Muslims, all the while revealing God in the next world within the Creation of True Man, or akhirah, revealing God as the Oneness of True Man and His Creation within us. And ending this time period, this age, on the "outside" of us, in 2000 AD, which is today, with the second appearance of God in this world or dunya, with God as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the life of the soul joined with the wisdom of God within us, having found and merged with the Nur of God, which is the light of wisdom within us, as the soul of God having been liberated from the cross of the elemental body of man by the wisdom within us, having joined with the body of the soul, making our life eternal. In this way, as depicted in Table 3 below, with the Second Testament of God occurring between the time of the Prophets Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), between 0 AD and 600 AD, and the Second Judgment of God occurring at the time of the death of Muhammad (Sal.), for the followers of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), which on the "outside" of us is seen as the Christians and Muslims of that time, around 600 AD, but also is occuring on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 40 years old.

The Third And Last Testament & Judgment of God - is now, in our age, and if we truly accept the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) then God will accept us And what about us, well the jury is still out for us, for all of us in this age, no matter what race or religion or nationality or country or lineage we may claim, because we in this age, like the Children of God in all earlier ages, have all been given God, the life of God within us, and the Teaching of God for our age, which has come to all of us in this age as the Third and Last Testament of God, which we have all received within our hearts as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not. It is our birth right, our true heritage, our true destiny. And whether we truly realize it, understand it, accept it, and join with it, and use it to liberate our soul, and make our life eternal, by putting down the life of "separation and differences" that we have all mistakenly picked up within us, and in this way become again One with God and True Man within us, is still an open issue which has yet to be decided, at least for this child. 13. The Age of The Third Testament & Third Judgment of God - is the time of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), on the "outside" of us, that is occurring from 1886 AD to 2086 AD, and also occurs for each one of us, on the"inside" of us, sometime before we are 60 years old, as the third and last coming of God into our lives, before we drown in the Ocean of Illusion within us, when the question is finally asked of us, "Who have you become, which of your Fathers have you become?", God as the Primal One within us or the father that we saw in the world as existing "outside" of us The following table, Table 4, summarizes the age of the Third Testament of God, from 1886 AD to 2086 AD, which is our current age, the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and the Third Judgment of God, which is currently occuring for the followers of the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us, starting around 1986 AD, with the death of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen in the world (may God be pleased with Him), and for the next 100 years, and which occurs on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 60 years old. With this age occurring, on the "outside" of us, between the coming into the world and the going out of the world of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), a time period of 100 years, and between the coming into the world and the going out of the world of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), also a time period of 100 years, making together a time period of 200 years. With the first 100 years being the age before the third and final appearance of True Man in the world, the time period between 1886 AD to 1986 AD, the time of the coming into the world and the going out of the world of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), when God passes His Creation through the four religions or paths a third time but this time within the heart of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which "outside" of us is seen and experienced as the four Religions of God, known as Hinduism, Fire Worship, Christianity, and Islam, which in truth reflect the characteristics of the 4 original elements within us, from which God made the body, the Palace of the soul, known as Adam (peace be upon Him), the 4 elements of earth, fire, air, and water, which also represent the 4 chambers of the heart. And are also seen and experienced on the "inside" of each of us as the four Steps of Spiritual Development known in Islam as Shari'at, Tariqat, Haqiqat, and Ma'rafat, but which can be found as spiritual concepts within all of the four religions. And with the second 100 years, the time between the coming into the world and the going out of the world of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), being the third and last age of True Man in the world, which for this age are the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), when True Man appears for a third and last time in the world, and again, as with the first and second appearance of True Man in the world, living in and ruling both worlds, from 1986 AD to 2086 AD, which is today, ruling both this world and the next world, both this world or the dunya, which is the Creation of God within us, and the next world or akhirah, which is the Creation of True Man within us. And in this way, while ruling in this world or dunya as the King of the Creation of God living in this age, all the while revealing God in the next world within the Creation of True Man, or akhirah, revealing God as the Oneness of True Man and His Creation within us. And ending this time period, this age, on the "outside" of us, in 2086 AD, which is 84 years from today, with the third and last appearance of God in this world or dunya, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is all of the Children of God for this age, who have realized, understood, accepted, and joined with the life and teaching of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and in this way becoming the hereafter, becoming akhirah here and now, forever ending the world as the dunya, and revealing in this way, God within the Creation of True Man, which is the Oneness True Man and the Creation of True Man. And in this way, as depicted in Table 4 below, the Third Testament of God and the Third Judgment of God occurs between the time of the coming into the world of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in 1886, as the first religion of God known as Hinduism, on the "outside" of us, and the first Spiritual Path or Stage of God known as Shari'at, on the "inside" of us, and His going out of this world, in 1986, as the fourth religion of God known as Islam, on the "outside" of us, and the fourth Spiritual Path or Stage known as Ma'rafat on the "inside" of us, And between the coming into the world, in 1986, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) as the Deen, as the Pure Light of Truth, and their going out of the world, in 2086, as Allah Muhammad, the seed of God, the seed of Islam, which on the "outside" of us is seen as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of us), but also is occuring on the "inside" of each one of us, sometime before we are 60 years old.

The Secret Truth of Our Lives - we have all already received the gift of God for this age, that will liberate our soul from the hell of "separation and differences" that we in our ignorance have embraced, as our current life in the world that we see as existing "outside" of us, we have all already received the life and teaching of God for our age, the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which we have but to realize, understand, accept, and join with, to be successful in our life, for our wisdom to reason over our fate My dearest loving brother, we must all realize and accept the fact that whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, we have all received it already, all of the Children of God for this age, whether they have met Bawa Muhaiyaddeen or not (may God be pleased with Him), or even if they know of Him or not, and of His teaching and of the teaching of His Children, they have all already received it, they have already received the grace of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within them, within their very own hearts already, as the grace of God for this age, as the given of God for this age. The only question left is, "What will we do with what God has already given each of us in this age, through His infinite Mercy and Compassion?. And whether we and they realize it, understand it, accept it, join with it, and use it to become One with God and True Man within us is now the main point, the only real point, of our life, of all life in this age. May we both realize and accept this truth in our lives, and in the lives of all of our brothers and sisters in the world. Finally, may God protect all of us in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) from the same judgment of God, that has already happened to the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims of earlier ages, from happening to us in this age, a judgment that has been passed onto their descendents, which has become a great burden to all of us living in this age. Instead of living out this judgment of earlier ages, as our judgment, may we all turn away from their way, and strike out on our own, and follow our hearts not our heads, not the ways of our ancestors, may we all become the true Children and followers of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) for this age, of the Qutb of God for our age, of the life and teaching of God for this age, becoming in this way the true Children of God for our age. May we all accept this Third and Last Testament of God, and take it into our hearts as the life and teaching of God for our age, and put down all that has come before, that we have mistakenly picked up in our ignorance, and see it for sure, without the slightest doubt, as not valid for the children of God for this age, and not of any concern to any of us living in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). May we all realize, understand, accept, and join with the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) for this age, that God has personally placed within each of us in this age, as the gift of God for our age, and through it obtain the true Promised Land within each of us, which is the open space within our own heart, where we will hear the sound of God and smell the fragrance of God for eternity, before it is too late, or before we are too old to do anything about it. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, what a wonderful journey we have been taking, within the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). We are all so blessed, my dearest brother. We are all so very blessed. 15. The Four Religions of God - or more correctly, the four steps, or stages, or paths of Spiritual Development which God uses to transform His Creation into True Man My dearest loving brother, we need to take a fresh look at the Four Religions of God, and try to view they in a new way, as Bawa teaches us about them, not as the world presents them, but as four steps, stages, or paths of Spiritual Development, that each of us must successfully navigate within ourselves, in order to come out the other end, having transcended all 4 religions, rather than thinking about them, seeing them, and trying to practice them, as things or groups that exist "outside" of us, as "separate from" each other. And in this way, we all must learn to leave them alone "outside" of us, and shift our focus instead to the "inside" of us, onto our current state of Spiritual Development, joining with our wisdom, with our Shaikh within us, to move our spiritual life forward, by becoming One with Him within us, not working for wages in the name of some "outside" religion, in order to get into some "outside" heaven, which in truth is but the public hell of God. And in this way, may we stop trying to use any religion "outside" of us to return to an imaginary god of separation "outside" of us, may we stop "working for wages to get into heaven", but rather may we start to use God within us, which is our Shaikh within us, which is our wisdom within us, to get to God within us, which is the light of our wisdom within us. May we start to use the life and teaching of God that God has personally placed within each of us, which is the life and teaching of our Shaikh, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to get to God within us, to get to a God within us that has no separation or differences of any kinds, to a God of Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, of Compassion and unity, within our very own heart. 16. The Three Passes of God - or more correctly, the three chances that man, as the Creation of God, gets to accept God, True Man, and the Creation of God within him, as God intended Them to be accepted, not the way that man wants to accept them, in order to live here, as "separate from" God, "as separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us Finally, my dearest brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, we all need to come together as brothers of the One heart, of the open, clear, and pure heart of our Shaikh, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him), and discard for all times our need live in our mind and desire, in our life of separation and differences, our need to live here "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, which God has personally and lovingly placed within each of us. Rather than this way of living, as "separate from", we need to firmly pick up our life of "one with", to firmly pick up the second form of life that God has already given each of us, the second form of life which is hidden within the first form of life that God has given each of us, and we must realize that we only get three chances to do this, like the water gives us three chances to save ourselves before it takes us under. And God has already taken two passes at getting us to do this, as depicted in the following diagram, God has already given us Two Testaments & Two Judgments, in the two previous ages of mankind, from 2000 BC to 0 BC/AD, and from 0 AD to 2000 AD, up to the present, and we have failed both of them, let us not fail again in this last attempt by God, from 1886 AD to 2086. If we do, if we fail this third time like we all did the first two times, then like the third time we go under in the water, we will be taken under, and our judgment will be an "eternal life" of "separation from" God. That is the justice of God. Table 3: The Three Passes of God ----- First Pass of God -------------- Second Pass of God -------- Third Pass of God --- .....2000 BC - O BC/AD..................0 AD - 2000 AD ..............1886 AD - 2086 AD. ......- 2000 years - ........................... - 2000 years - ................. - 200 years -...... . ...Abraham to Jesus...........Jesus to Bawa Muhaiyaddeen ....Bawa Muhaiyaddeen ...........................................................................................& Bawa's Children.. ......First Testament .....................Second Testament........Third & Final Testament ..............&..............................................&....................................&................. .....Judgment of God......................Judgment of God..............Judgment of God .... May we all do this, my dearest loving brother, may we all do this, may we all learn to leave here, to join as one with God within our own hearts, to become again "one with" God, as we all were before the age of two, but this time with an understanding of the Oneness of God and True Man, so it will never leave us again, so it will never be lost again. May God give us the grace, the wisdom, and the ilm or divine knowledge to do this, in our life time, before we are too old to do anything about it. May we all join together as the One family of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to do this. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). P.S.
