Some of the topics covered are: Guidelines regarding the kejiwaan; the life of the soul and the latihan. Just doing the latihan and going home is not enough. You have to carry out and put into practice what you have received in your latihan. The meaning of ‘jiwa’. The coming of the latihan. We have everything within us but the way we use it may not be right, the way God intended. Keep reading Bapak’s talks so you can understand the deep inner truth. The five ‘finer bodies’ – sukma – correspond to the level of life forces which exist within a human being. Ibu describes these and how they can affect us. Someone can have a very powerful sukma and have great influence, but people cannot tell whether this power has come from within this world or from beyond this world, a gift from God. Be aware of these possibilities, as people within Subud in the course of their development have all kinds of experiences. The experiences of Pak Takbir. Gatherings like this are an opportunity for people to share their experiences. Ibu has been asked why doesn’t she share her experiences. Ibu is simply a witness. Use these gatherings so people don’t always write to Ibu for answers. We are all witnesses that the latihan is truly from God. We have to adjust ourselves to our state and capacity at any time. |
