In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. 18. The Second Judgment or Question by God - who do you love, God or the world? And for the second test or judgment of God of us on the "outside" of us, as depicted in Table 3 below, with us as the followers of Jesus (peace be upon Him) and as the followers of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), at the time of the death of Muhammad (Sal.), we failed. For like the first test or judgment of God of us, with us as the Jews, we failed this second test or judgment of God, with us as the Christians and the Muslims, because we chose to love the world, or both God and the world, but not God alone, and we received as our reward for this second choice of "separation from" God, the "outside" version of the gifts of God for that age, for the Children of God for that age, for the age of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him). And like the "outside" version of the life and teaching of Moses (peace be upon Him), was seen by us at the time of the Jews, at the time of the death of Moses (peace be upon Him), not as it came from God to the Children of God for that age, not as, 1) The life or journey of Moses (peace be upon Him) from the captivity of His mind and desire, 2) The explanation by Moses of the 10 opening of man, allowing Moses (peace be upon Him), as the Qutb of God for that age (may God be pleased with Him), to, as Bawa teaches us in the "Kalimah Song" (4/26/72), "Set the light to the inner heart". But rather, was seen on the "outside" by us, as the Jews of that time as, 1) The "Promised Land" 2) The "First Testament" of God Likewise, the "outside" version of the life and teaching of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), was seen by us at the time of the Christians and Muslims, at the time of the death of Muhammad (Sal.), not as it came from God to the Children of God for that age, not as, 1) The life or journey of Jesus (peace be upon Him) off the cross of His elemental body, by joining with the wisdom of God surrounding His soul 2) The explanation by Jesus (peace be upon Him) of the Love and unity of God and His Creation 3) The life or journey of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him) from anathi, the time of darkness for man, to aathi, the time of light for man 4) The explanation by Muhammad (Sal.) of the principle tenet of Islam, or Tawhid, which is the affirmation of the Unity of Allah and True Man But rather, was seen on the "outside" by us, as the Christians and Muslims of that time as, 1) The Crucifixion of Jesus (peace be upon Him) 2) The New Testament of Jesus (peace be upon Him) or the Bible 3) The Holy Struggle or Jihad of Muhammad (Sal.) 4) The Holy Qur'an of Muhammad (Sal.) With all of this "outside" stuff being in truth but variations of the 7 hells within us, which have became in our age what we now in our ignorance see as existing "outside" of us. Rather than as intended by God, which was the "Crucifixion of Jesus" and the "New Testament of Jesus" on the "inside" of us, which is the true life and teaching of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, as well as "The Holy Struggle or Jihad of Muhammad" and "The Holy Qur'an of Muhammad (Sal.)" or the "inside" of us, which is the true life and teaching of Muhammad (Sal.) within us. Rather than as intended by God, which was the heart and word of God for that age, the life and teaching of God for that age, which are the 7 heavens within us, and within these 7 heavens within us, the 8th heaven within us, which is firdaus, or akhirah, or the hereafter, which is the Kingdom of God within us. Instead of this, we again, like at the time of the Jews, failed the test or judgment of God, and received on the "outside" of us, as our reward, an eternal hell of "separation from" God. We as the Christians and Muslims of that time, like we as the Jews before them, also became known as the "People of The Book", and like the Jews before them, failed to get into God's group, becoming instead members of the 72nd group, of the 73 groups within all human lives, failing to become the Children of God for that age, becoming known instead as those who love God but also love the world. This is the second judgment by God of His Creation, that occurs on both the "outside" of all of us, as our history, as what occurred on the "outside" of all of us at 600 AD, as the followers of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), as those judged by God at the death of Muhammad (Sal.), in the year 600 AD "outside" of us, and what has or will occur within each one of us before we are 40 years old. In this way, on the "outside" of all of us, as the history of the "outside" of all of us, we failed this second judgment of God, because we chose to love the world, or both God and the world, but not God alone, and as a result of failing this second judgment of God, we, as the followers of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them), have all received the life and teaching of Jesus (peace be upon Him), as well as the life and teaching of Muhammad (Sal.) on the "outside" of us, as what we currently see and experience as existing "outside" of us. Which is an "outside" version of the life or Crucifixion of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, as well as an "outside" version of the life or Holy Struggle or Jihad of Muhammad (Sal.) within us, and an "outside" version of the wisdom teaching of Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon Them) within us, an "outside" version of all of these gifts of God within us, to the Children of God within us, which in truth is but the sifat or form of the dunya, the form of the Creation of God within us, which in truth is but a reflection of hell. My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, no matter how exalted it may appear to us on the "outside" of us, what we have received from God, as a result of our failure to trust and love only God, is but a reflection, a harbinger of the 7 hells within us, which in truth becomes after our death, and after the suffering of the grave, an eternal hell of "separation from" God. This is what we all have all received, as our history, as our "outside", a reflection of hell, no matter who we are, or what we call ourselves, this is our heritage in the "outside" world of all of us, and is all any of us could ever expect to receive from God, on the "outside" of us, before the coming of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) into the world in 1896 AD, the year (plus or minus a few) that Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) wrote "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", the year the Huk, the truth of God entered the world, as we know it, for the very last time. This was our judgment from God, this is what we all had received on the "outside" of each of us, up to the coming of Bawa into the world, having failed God's judgment twice, this was our reward, a reflection of the hell within us, rather than the life and teaching of Moses, of Jesus (peace be upon Them), and of Muhammad (Sal.) on the "inside" of us, rather than the life and the word of God within us, for the Children of God within us, which is the sirr of the dunya within us, which is the essence of the Creation of God within us, which before our death is but a reflection of the 7 heavens within us, which in truth becomes after our death, the 7 heavens within us, which we are free to travel within, where we can commune with the 124,000 prophets of God, as well as with the angels, the heavenly being, Qutbs, and lights of God. And such is the fate of all those living on the "outside" of us in this age, which is all of us living in this age, no matter who we may think we are, no matter what we may think we know, and no matter what lineage, or religion, or path we may think that we are following, include all of us following the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us, they are all paths to hell, to an eternal life of separation and differences within us, to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. Unless we can learn to move into and stay in the 73rd group of mankind, which are the Children of God for this age. Unless we can do this divine work within us, becoming members of the 73rd group within us, until we die, our fate will remain the same, we will get an eternal life of "separation from" God. But we can transcend this fate, and obtain an eternal life of "oneness with" God, if we can but learn to move into and stay in the 73rd group of mankind, if we can but learn how to become One with the Children of God for this age. And we do this by realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with the third and final gift of God to mankind known as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that came into the world in 1886 and left the world in 1986, but before He left went into each of our hearts as the One Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). As the One Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is the True Man revealed by God for this age, the True Man of God for this age, who has come to completion within each of us, with the passing of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) from the world in 1986 AD, so God and True Man within each of us can complete what God and True Man have started within each of us, which is to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, within our innermost heart. In this way transforming our "outside" and our "inside" into One, into the hereafter within us, into the hereafter as "here and the now", into akhirah, into the Kingdom of God, making God and each of us One. May we all realize this, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and fall down at the feet of our Shaikh, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and learn to live and die at His feet, which are the feet of God for this age, for the Children of God for this age. There is no other way, for this age. May we both know this now and act accordingly. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.

Life is The Victory of Our Wisdom Reasoning Over Our Fate - or the failure or defeat of our life with our fate winning over our wisdom, with the "enemy of our soul" winning over our Shaikh, the choice is ours, because either we join with our Shaikh against "us", against the "enemy of our soul", which is "us" as "separate from" God within us, or we join with the "enemy of our soul" against our Shaikh. There is no other choice One day in the room Bawa looked at us and said, "I have not come for you, I have come for your soul, to awaken the wisdom surrounding the soul, so the wisdom surrounding the soul can do battle with the enemy of the soul." When this child heard this, I immediately looked at Bawa and asked Him, "Who is the enemy of my soul?" And Bawa look right back at me and said, "You are!" Also Bawa teaches us that when it is all over all that is left is God and what has separated from God, nothing else, and what has separated from God when it is all over is what has repeatedly declared and affirmed its "separation from" God, during its life time, as well as its "separation from" each other of its kind, and its "separation" from the Creation of God, that God has so lovingly placed within each of us, with them repeatedly saying, with their ever word, thought, intention, action, and deed, until the very end, "I am separate from God". Even though God, throughout their life, and especially at three times during their life, before they are 20, before they are 40, and before they are 60, repeatedly showed them and demonstrated to them His Oneness with them and their Oneness with Him. Such is their fate, is the defeat of their life, is their fate winning over their wisdom, rather than the victory of their life, which is their wisdom reasoning over their fate. For Bawa teaches us on page 111 in Chapter 30, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body", in the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", that, "After a man is born, it is said by everybody that his life is controlled by fate. But son, this is not so. Life is the victory of wisdom reasoning over fate." In this way, it is not God who separates us from Him, because of anything that we may have done, or failed it do, because of our fate, instead it is "us" having surrendered to our fate rather than having joined in partnership with our wisdom, which is the life and teaching of our Shaikh within us, instead it is "us" in the state of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, in the state of "separation from" our brothers and sisters that God has sent here with us, and in the state of "separation from" the Creation of God that God has personally and lovingly placed within each of us, that ultimately causes our final separation from God, that ultimate causes the defeat of our life, that allows our fate to win over our wisdom, nothing else. In this way, we are the cause of our defeat or our success in our life, not God. It is we ourselves who decide on either an eternal life of "oneness with" or "separation from" God, from the God that Created, Nourished, and Sustained us, not God. It is we ourselves who make this decision, who decides whether to join with our wisdom, with the gift of God for our age, with the life and teaching of our Shaikh within us, in order to go back to God, as One with Him, having understood Him and having revealed Him within ourselves, as the truth within our own question, the question that we asked of God in our time of darkness or anathi, "Who am I?", not God. Or it is we who decide not to join with our wisdom, with the gift of God for our age, with the life and teaching of our Shaikh within us, and instead surrender to our fate, and in doing so decide to turn away from God within us, and go it on our own, on the "outside" of us, and decide to go to hell, to an eternal life of "separation from" God, not God. 20. The Justice of God Is "Whatever We Intend Is What We Will Receive" - and in this way there are no real winners or losers, we all get what we want So in this way, there are no real winners or losers, we all get what we want. Bawa teaches us this wisdom point so beautifully when He told us, "The justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive." Such is the justice of God, and such is the final judgment of God, the final question of God to each of His Creations, "Who have you become - God or what God has discarded?" And if you have become God then you get God, and if you have become what God has discarded then you get what God has discarded. It is just this simple, my dearest loving brother and sister, because only God wants God, as only the world wants the world. In the end, we get what we want, either God because we have become One with God, or what has separated from God because we have become One with what is separate from God. The choice is ours. The choice is always ours, not God. God has already made His choice, and He chose Oneness with God. Now the choice is ours, either "oneness with" God or "separation from" God, there is no other choice. May we both know this now, my dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, and act accordingly, may we both chose "oneness with" God, which for our age means that we chose "oneness with" the gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), not "oneness with" anything that has come from God in some previous age, like in the age of Moses (peace be upon Him), or in the age of Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him). And we affirm this choice of "oneness with" God for our age by joining in partnership with the life and teaching of God within us, which for our age is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), accepting our birthright and heritage as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), and set about becoming this One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), and as that Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him) set about praying to God for all of the Children of God living in this age. 21. The Third & Last Judgment or Question by God - who have you become, God or what God has discarded? And for the Third and Final Judgment of God of us on the "outside" of us, as depicted in Table 4 below, with us this time as the followers of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), we have yet to pass or fail, because this time God's judgment is conditional, quite clear, and very time bounded, not absolute, veiled, and open ended as in previous ages. For Bawa teaches us that at the end of time, which is now, God would send One who would explain again everything that had been explained before in previous ages, but this time with no veil. Everyone would hear it, everyone would understand it, and all that is left is do they want it. Do they want a life of "oneness with" God or a life of "separation from" God. That is the only choice left, and everyone living in this age now has to make this choice, between God and what God has discarded, before the world as we currently know it, as what in our ignorance we see as existing "outside" of us is over, with the falsehood of this world or dunya coming to an end, and the truth of the hereafter or akhirah starting. In this way, this is the Third and Final Judgment of God for the Children of God for this age, includes everyone living in this age, whether they know it or not, whether they like it or not, not just the brothers and sisters that we have experienced as the children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and who are members of what we call the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. We do not know the outcome of any of the lives living in this age, and certainly not the outcome of our own life, because even God does not know how any of His Children will turn out, whether we will become "of God" or "of what God has discarded", until our final breath, because only then is our choice clear, only then has our decision been made clear to God within us, allowing Him to treat us accordingly. Either embracing "us" as His Child of light, as a member of the 73rd group, as those who trust and love in God alone, and don't trust and love in the world. Or rejecting "us" as a child of darkness, rejecting "us" as "what has become One with what was discarded from Him", as those who have become members of groups 1 to 70, as those who don't trust and love in God, but instead trust and love in the world alone. Or sending "us" to His judgment, as members of the 71st and/or 72nd groups, as those who trust and love in God but also trust and love in the word. For only then, with our last breath, will we have in certainty made our decision, our decision to become a member of one of the following four broad groups of men: 1) Groups 1 to 70 - those who trust and love in the world alone 2) Group 71 - those who trust in God and also trust in the world 3) Group 72 - those who love God and also love the world 4) Group 73 - those who trust and love in God alone And everyone in this age has to decide now, because this age comes to an end in the year 2086 AD, which is in 84 years from today, completing the 200 time period of this last age of man, from 1886, which started with the coming of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) into this age, until 1986 when His Holiness left the world, and from 1986, when the 73rd group was completed within each of us, when God revealed True Man for the third and final time within the Creation of God, in the dunya, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), allowing True Man to reveal God for the third and final time within the Creation of True Man, in akhirah. Allowing True Man as the Deen, as the Pure Light of Truth, to reveal God as the Deen within the Deen, which is the understanding of the Deen, and in this way, revealing True Man as Muhammad within the Deen and God as Muhammad within Muhammad, which is the understanding of Muhammad, and in this way, revealing True Man as the Nur Muhammad, as the light of Allahu within Muhammad, and God as The Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad, as the light of Allahu within the light of Allahu, which is the understanding of the Nur Muhammad, the understanding of the light of Allahu. And in this way, revealing True Man as Allah Muhammad, which is the seed of Islam, the Seed of God, and God as Allah Muhammad within Allah Muhammad, which is the understanding of True Man or Allah Muhammad, the understanding of God and True Man that allows the cycle of God-Man/Man-God to occur again, that allows the Seed of God to be planted within the heart of the True Disciple in the next cycle of God-Man/Man-God, and True Man to become the True Shaikh for the next cycle of God-Man/Man-God, as the apple seed becomes the apple tree, apple flower, and apple fruit, only to appear again within the earth as again the apple seed, and the apple tree hidden within it. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.

Closing Comments & Prayer - may we all become One with the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), and pray to God that all of our brothers and sisters living in this age, that before they die, may they realize, understand, accept, and join with the gift of God for our age, the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that God has personally and lovingly placed within each of them, becoming in this way a member of the 73rd group of God, established for all of us living in this age by our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), before He left the world in 1986 AD My dearest loving brother Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen, may we both learn to live at the feet of God for this age, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), ensuring our membership in this 73rd group, before it is too late, before we die, or before we are too old to do anything about it, mistakenly waiting for the dance to end in our life before we truly turn back to God, to our Father, to the One who sent us here to understand who we already are, and having understood become again One with Him, as the Oneness of God and True Man, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of the Creation of True Man within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Please give my love and salams to your wife (Qadir-Bee-Bee, she is so very sweet), and to your family and friends, and to all of our brothers and sisters. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very much, and that they are always in my prayers. Also, please share this letter with them, it is very, very important. Please do this work. May all the peace, the beneficence, and blessing of God be upon all of us. May God help us all. 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).
