BUSHFIRES IN NEW SOUTH WALES: Subud members survive extensive bushfires

Vol. 29 No. 1 January 2002

Ibu Rahayu�s house in Rungan Sari. See inside for Ibu Rahayu�s first Ramadhan talk (pages 6-7) and articles about the Kejiwaan Gathering in June 2002 at Rungan Sari (page 4) and building at Rungan Sari (page 5).

During the Christmas period and into New Year, Sydney has been encircled by more than 100 bushfires which have caused widespread property damage. Fortunately, as far as we know, no Subud members have lost property. At the time of writing, hot, dry windy weather conditions mean that fire danger continues. The fire has penetrated into suburban Sydney as well as affecting surrounding national parks and adjacent area such as the Blue Mountains and Wollongong and further south to coastal resort areas. Rahman Connelly, who lives near Wollongong, has sent his eyewitness report… The small Subud community of eight houses at Hillside Farm, a rural property near Wollongong (100 kilometres south of Sydney) is on the base of a very large escarpment.

For several nights we could see the flames at the top of the escarpment, and heard loud crack after crack as fire-affected trees fell over. Small fires made their way down the escarpment and several of them made their way to our top boundary - but then just stopped! For 10 straight days, every morning we woke up to the smell of thick acrid smoke with visibility sometimes of only 50 me-ters. On some days our houses were showered with fire ash. Thee was an eerie, still at-mosphere as we were enclosed by smoke with the sun brilliant red. Further south of Wollongong, 500 people had to quickly retreat to the beach to es-cape the fire and they spent the night on beach. As of 4 January there were 80 serious fires in NSW .

The worst aspect is that many or most of the fires were started or restarted by arson-ists. I sense something like the reaction to 11 September - a growing intolerance to the sort of behaviour that has been lightly treated in the past. People feel that there is something more important than maximising civil liberties: that is, the right of the population at large to go safety about the business of the com-munity. Balancing this of course is the huge com-munity efforts of the volunteer bush fire- fighters and many others in the commu-nity who have worked endless hours to extinguish fires and comfort those who have lost property or had to evacuate their houses. As I speak our south coast holiday house - which boarders a national park is under threat - but there nothing I can do other than rely on the dedicated efforts of fire-fighters. While it is not a nice feeling to be under such a threat, I feel (strangely) reasonably calm. We also received this report from Raphael Favre who lives on the out-skirts of Sydney… Dharmawati received it is "solar time". Checking the Thesaurus for a synonym for solar, we found “combust”. Indeed it has been very, very dry out here. We have lost a number of large trees due to lack of ground moisture. The paddocks are so dried out that the grass just crackles under your feet. The fire first started out 3 km east from here on Christmas Eve.

(Continued from Page 1) One of Osanna's friends lost the family house that night. Another fire started 4 km north of us on New Year's Day. Then a large fire burning further out southwest moved closer pushed by the western wind and soaring tempera-tures. Firemen are trying to contain it around Bowen mountain situated 3 km southwest from here. The smoke blankets the whole countryside and at times one becomes conscious of one's breathing, along with stinging eyes and runny nose, which are a constant reminder. The sound of helicopters overhead and frequent fire engine sirens going up the mountain road at times give one a feeling of urgency and how close the danger is. There is not much one can do but keep one’s fingers crossed and remain vigilant. There is so much combustible around; hot ashes carried by the wind are able to start new spot fire almost anywhere. It is a little worrying and, with the smell of smoke filling the bedroom, one cannot help get-ting up a couple of times during the night to glance out the window…

MESSAGE FROM ARGENTINA Economic troubles, political turmoil and violence in the streets in Argentina Distressing reports from Argentina about the recent political turmoil and violence in the streets have followed from declining economic conditions. Our thoughts have been with our Argen-tinean brothers and sisters including the members of ISC. At the time of writing, the unrest continues with reports that the Argentinean currency will be devalued. This is part of a report sent to Susila Dharma International by Rasjid Cesar, the SD Representative on Argentina just be-fore Christmas… The events of the last two days have re-sulted in: 24 dead civilians, 180 wounded and 1200 detainees: 50 wounded police-men and 1 dead. Many merchants have had their business looted. The conflicts happened in most of the im-portant cities of the interior of the country, and the worst repression was in the Fed-eral Capital close to Government House. Regrettably it has been a black day, for our community. It is very sad to see how

the economic privations that the popula-tion suffers end in death and the violence. God willing, God will enlighten the rul-ers so that they take the measures that peo-ple need, so that peace returns to our world.

See STOP PRESS page 11

REQUEST FROM JERUSALEM Support us with your prayers We have all read of the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. This request for our support has been received from a young Subud member Sharifin Dickie… I'd like to call on you all for your prayers. Things here are looking very bad and it's very upsetting. I think everybody who grew up in whatever religious context finds some roots and emotional connection to this region. There is so much hate and despair here over events of the previous days and the consequences we have to face now. Please be with us in your moments of peace and prayer. From UK Bulletin

GATHERING IN WISMA SUBUD Successful gathering includes new mem-bers who are devout Muslims.

From Murray Clapham International Helper

Area 1/2

A kejiwaan gathering was held in Wisma Subud in Jakarta over three days from 6th to 8th of December 2001. Pak Haryono and Ibu Ismana arranged it in conjunction with the International Help-ers from Area1/2 and the Indonesian Na-tional Helpers. It included latihan, testing, group discussions and concluded with a talk and testing by Ibu Rahayu on the first Night of Power in Ramadhan. It was open to all and approximately 100 people attended on each of the three days. Members came form many parts of Indo-nesia and there was a significant comple-ment of international visitors including ISC chair, Laurencio Young, Co-chairs of Subud Youth, Manuel Oliver and Harfijah Chung, MSF Chair Peter Filippelli, as well as 4 of the Area1/2 International Helpers. A very interesting contingent of new members came from fundamentalist Is-lamic areas of West Java where large numbers have recently been opened in Subud. Topics discussed and tested about in small groups of ten people included: Subud and religion, mixing, the latihan and daily life, the significance of Bapak, harmony in Subud, the gap between young and old in Subud, how to maintain the purity of sur-render and submission to Almighty God, testing, drugs. The variety of people and diversity of ex-perience in each of the small groups made the discussions both interesting and bene-ficial. The purpose was not necessarily to reach any conclusions or formulate fixed positions on these topics. It was more about exploring a process of discussion and testing to deepen our understanding of the latihan and its use in our lives. Ibu Rahayu's talk on the latihan and its gradual penetration from our physical bod-ies to the feelings, to our understanding was a fitting climax to these days. As a new international helper, I found the gathering very valuable and am thankful to Pak Haryono and Ibu Ismana for their ini-tiative. Murray Clapham: International Helper Area1/2

BUSHFIRES IN NSW

Subud Voice has decided to take up a new life in Australia. Ilaine Lennard has resigned as editor and Harris Smart is the new editor supported by a team that includes Bradford Temple, Rahman Connelly and Peter Jenkins. Ilaine has written: “Subud Voice is won-derful, deeply satisfying work for the right person, and one that I feel very honoured to have been given for the last 14 years. "But to my surprise and yes, to my con-cern, I feel that perhaps inside I am now being ‘told’ to move on, though I would still be very willing to write for SV and to assist my successor in its production. I also hope that maybe there is more Subud work out there waiting for me, because I would not like to be idle!"

Subud Voice has become a true Subud in-stitution. One of the finest efforts by an individual in the communications field in our Subud history. During times when many other things have come and gone, Subud Voice has stayed constant, bringing us not only the news but many fascinating background articles and expressions of opinion on all kinds of sub-jects. Congratulations, Ilaine! New Subud Voice The new publication will be available to subscribers in hard copy and online. A free service Subud Voice News in Brief will also be available online at:

www.subudvoice.net

When work is complete, subscribers will be able to access the new Subud Voice by downloading and printing a PDF file. Those who do not want to, or cannot, go online will continue to receive hard copy by ordinary mail. Existing subscriptions will of course be honoured and new subscriptions wel-comed. Subscriptions to the online version will be much cheaper than hard copy sub-scriptions because of savings on printing and postage. Subud Voice will be issued in 12, 12-page editions each year which we believe will give the same value as when Ilaine edited it. Subud Voice will carry more in-depth news stories than the free service, giving you the background to the news. Now, as in Ilaine’s day, there will be lots of juicy, meaty stories about people’s experiences, about enterprises, welfare projects and cultural happenings. I must stress that while I am taking over as editor, I am part of a team which includes Rahman Connelly, Bradford Temple and Peter Jenkins who pioneered the setting up of the Subud Portal site which has of course included the Portal News.

Rahman, Bradford and Peter are well known in Subud of course. Rahman and Bradford are possibly the most successful ever entrepreneurs in Subud with their hugely successful Connelly Temple pen-sion fund business.

And since moving out of that business they have been distinguished benefactors of Subud, supporting the Muhammad Subud Foundation (of which Rahman has been chairman) as well as many other Subud projects. They are currently assisting developments in Kalimantan such as the eco-village, the Rungan Sari Business and Conference Centre and the Muhammad Subuh Centre. Rahman is also chairman of the Subud mining enterprise. Peter Jenkins is well known as the former SES chairman. He and his wife Isti are now living in Rungan Sari where he is the man-ager of the Rungan Sari Business Centre, which is currently under construction.

A NEW HOME Subud Voice sets up shop in a house with a history Subud Voice is now in the annex of the brick house on the Subud Melbourne prop-erty. It was built to accommodate Bapak on one of his visits here in the 1970s. But when Bapak arrived he expressed the wish to stay in the centre of the house and so it was Sharif who got the brand new annex. Since then the annex has been the home to many Subud members both permanent and transient, both local and from overseas. I once had an unusual dream about the an-nex. It was during Bapak’s visit. In real life, I was the chairman of the group and so had been responsible for making some of the preparations to receive Bapak. In the dream I was in our Subud hall and Bapak was giving a talk. Suddenly a buzz went around the room and people began looking at me. Finally someone said, "Bapak wants to go to the toilet and you have to take him.” Why me?’ I asked. "Because you’re the chairman." So I led Bapak out of the hall and across the garden to the toilet in the newly built annex. Bapak was holding onto my arm and he was his real age and quite frail and a little unsteady on his feet. Not only that, the terrain had been altered in the dream from how it is in real life. In real life it is a smooth stretch of lawn, but in the dream it had become a rookery garden, very difficult and dangerous to negotiate. I was afraid that Bapak would slip and fall and scrape himself or break his delicate bones and I would be held responsible. But we reached the annex without mishap and I delivered Bapak to the toilet and waited for him outside the door. Suddenly I looked up and I saw that the annex went up for many levels and on all these levels there were people moving about and carrying out tasks. And I looked down and I saw that the annex went down for many levels and on all these levels there were people moving about and carry-ing out tasks. Hmm, I thought to myself. There is more to this than meets the eye. There is more to this than I ever thought. Harris Smart

Since the beginning of Bapak’s 100th Anniversary Year on June 22, 2001, there has been considerable progress in the development of Rungan Sari. This is the land that Bapak choose for a Subud community and which can provide a ‘base camp’ for the development activi-ties he encouraged in Kalimantan. To mark the end of the Centennial Year and a new phase of Subud Develop-ment, there will be a Gathering at Run-gan Sari from June 22 – 28 2002.

and work in social projects. There will be regular influxes of visitors for Ramadhan, Kejiwaan Gatherings, Wing Workshops, Zone or WSC Meetings and simply for family visits and holidays. So, if you would like to build now on one of the ten remaining plots that are close to all facilities in the Phase One Area, read on.

In the last twelve months Rungan Sari, the land Bapak choose for Subud in Kaliman-tan, has grown from a piece of scrub-land into an exciting community at the forefront of Subud development in Kali-mantan: • Twenty houses are at or near comple-

tion. • Construction is well advanced on the

Business & Conference Centre, with offices, meeting rooms, 24 hotel rooms, restaurant, swimming pool and tennis court.

• The Muhammad Subuh Centre with its Pendopo Latihan Hall, was opened by Ibu Rahayu in July 2001.

• The Eco-Village accommodates short-term visitors at low cost

• The “Rungan Sari Gathering” is planned for June 2002.

These developments have vastly in-creased the value of your plot. Building costs are still quite low, but are increas-ing all the time. Perhaps the best indicator of activity at Rungan Sari was just after the Bali Con-gress: The Eco-Village and all the houses were full and many visitors had to stay in Palangkaraya. 200 people at-tended when Ibu Rahayu opened the Muhammad Subuh Centre and 19 young members participated in the first YES Quest. In the future, many permanent residents are expected who will start enterprises

KALIMANTAN SUPPORT GROUP TRAINING Opportunity for training in Lewes (UK) February 22-24 2002 Are you interested in Kalimantan? or are wondering what it's all about? Do you have concerns about sustainability and community development? Would you like to know more about one of Subud ap-proach to the development of Central Kali-mantan? Have you ever heard about the Kalimantan Support Group? Have you ever wanted to be involved but didn't know how to do so? The Kalimantan Support Group (KSG) was started 20 years ago in the UK. It is a group of Subud members dedicated to supporting the people of Central Kaliman-tan through activities aimed at achieving Bapak's vision. We have been working with local communities to raise the liveli-hood levels in impoverished villages around the Tangkiling and the Upper Ka-hayan areas. We are also looking to build on our net-work of worldwide individuals interested in committing to help in all aspects of the work of the KSG: we need people of all ages, talents and levels of experience to enable us to expand our potential. This is the reason why we are organising a training weekend in Lewes (UK) on Feb-ruary 22-24. We want to offer you an op-portunity to find out what the KSG is about, and how you can become an active participant by discovering your talent and skills, thus helping the KSG to fulfil its mission. The first day (Saturday) will be focused on what the KSG has been and is doing and what it plans to be doing in the future. The second day will be more focused on each individual to help them discovering their talent and thinking style and find out how each one can fit in & benefit from the KSG. Lorna Downson-Collins, a personal devel-opment and business consultant, currently very involved in the KSG, will facilitate the weekend. The number of participants will be limited to 20, and the cost (not inc. accommodation & dinner) will be approx. £30. If you wish to register or need further in-formation on the weekend or on the KSG, please contact as soon as possible: Rosanne Le Roy: rosanneleroy@yahoo.com Hanna Evans: +44 -(0)7799 417 924 or +44-01273 471 170

Ibu Rahayu as a young woman.

Brothers and sisters whom I love and respect, may the peace and blessings of Almighty God be with you. I welcome you once gain after the last time we were together at World Con-gress, and I congratulate all the mem-bers who attended the kejiwaan gather-ing. I hope that your activities and what you achieved will truly be of use and benefit all of you as you train yourself on this spiritual path. Brothers and sisters, as this is the month of fasting, and we still have to complete our fast, I wish all of you well with your fast. For those of you who follow the Islamic faith or who are Muslims, fasting is obligatory; it is a requirement. But there are also mem-bers among you who are not Muslims and yet they too perform or observe the fast.

The reason for this is that from a spiri-tual perspective, the fast is also a kind of latihan, or training of the self to subdue our desires so that we can feel what operates inside us, when we fast. Having this intent will not harm those of you who fast; on the contrary it is a preparation for your further spiritual growth.

And tonight, brothers and sis-ters, is one of the nights that are laden with a special power called the lailatul qodar. The descent of the lailatul qodar is not a process where God scat-ters gifts, or sprinkles grace over the earth and then we, human beings, have to fight for it. On the contrary, God be-stows this grace during these nights on those creatures that are truly able to submit to Al-mighty God and organise themselves so that they are not overcome by their passions; the low forces that exist inside us, as well as those that are external to us. Now the nature of this grace does not mean that overnight you become talented or rich or receive great fortune, but it will work in a way that God wills. So, as a human being created by God, after we en-deavour to diligently follow God’s Commandments, all

that’s left for us to do is surrender. And as for the form of this grace: if we receive it we will feel grateful and praise God, and hopefully whatever God grants us will form a basis for our lives thereafter; that for those of you who receive this grace, it will further your life, both in this world and the hereafter. Brothers and sisters, I will explain now how this relates to the Subud latihan. As our latihan progresses, it is neces-sary as we develop through this train-ing, that as a human being we can rec-ognize God’s power, we can recognize how God works on a human being, and we can recognize the structure of life that exists in a human being. Then that person will be aware and will not al-ways follow in the tracks of their de-sires. This is necessary, brothers and sisters, as while our passions and desires are tools for life in this world, they are also an obstacle or a disturbance for a hu-man being who wants to follow God’s Will. As we know, our passions and desires arise from the low forces. The low forces are the forces below human be-

ings. So I will repeat once more that the low forces are made up of the low material force, that has the character of not caring, that just wants to get its own way; the vegetable force which among its attributes has a nature of not wanting to give in. The third is the animal force, whose character is to hunt for its heart’s desire. The fourth is our own human force. So don’t think that the human level is not a low force too � it is, and its nature is to want to exalt itself and be right. So, if we fully catalogue all of these aspects, they cover much of human life in this world, precisely because these low forces exist in human beings. When a person is brought to life, or as a Subud member, when you are opened and your soul comes to life, the low forces come to life, too. The fact that these low forces are inside you means that even after you do latihan you are not free of them. They stand ready to help or hinder you. They do not disappear. They continue to grow in conjunction with the growth of your soul. This, brothers and sisters, is the chal-lenge we all face, that by bringing our human self to life we also become re-sponsible for everything that we have within us so that later, with your help, they will reach their own realms, they will reach their own heavens. So then, when the time comes, and you free yourself of this world, these forces will not burden you. On the contrary, they feel that their status has been ele-vated as they can return to their own realms. It is because of the working of these things within us that this training will progress through different stages. As our soul develops it must pierce a se-ries of walls that cover it. The first of these walls is what we call the physical body. This is why, when you are opened, the first thing that functions, what you feel first, is the physical body, your physical self. Why is your physical being, your body so easily affected? This is because it is touched by something of the same na-ture; it is touched by the world around you. This world is made of matter and what we have inside and outside us is also made of matter. So the latihan, the

GOD’S GRACE DESCENDS ON EARTH Ibu Rahayu’s First Ramadhan Talk in Cilandak on December 8th 2001

Final Translation

training we follow is a process; a proc-ess of bringing to life the physical body during which we may experience a breaking down, or a cleansing, which can give rise to temptations for you. Beyond this first wall is a second wall that is to do with your feelings, and your inner feeling. Once it touches your feelings and inner feeling, the contact goes deeper and deeper. So, even your inner feeling, that most peo-ple don’t know exists and are oblivious to, undergoes a process of coming to life and being cleaned by God’s Power.

The third wall is your understanding. It is not enough for you to be cleaned or prepared only as far as your inner feel-ing. Your understanding must be pre-pared, too. Why does it have to be pre-pared? It is because, generally, a per-son’s understanding only comes from their brain, from their thinking. But once your understanding is touched by God’s power, your understanding is prepared so that you can really under-stand the truth of life. And the fourth wall, brothers and sis-ters, is your individuality, or your true self. Now you are alive, alive in this world, but it is not certain that you are completely clean, that you possess your complete individuality. So, if for example you ask, “What is my true nature?” Maybe that can’t be an-swered yet. But later, this training will free you of everything that covers up your soul, and then your complete in-dividuality will appear. So these are the processes that you will pass through in this spiritual training. This is why you cannot do this training half-heartedly. This latihan is an obli-gation too, because in this training, as

you pass through these processes, it is not you that does the work; it is the Power of God inside you. How come? How can God be present in a person? Well, from the moment you are opened, you can feel a contact with a great power inside you. Well, it is your soul that is touched. Why is your soul touched? It is because the soul is the essence of life that is alive in a human being. So brothers and sisters, does it look like…do you think that it is possible for us as human beings to do all this by ourselves? Of course it is not possible, because this works by itself within

you. In addition, it all depends on your behaviour and your actions. So it is impossible for you to do this by your-self. Can you study this; can someone fol-low a teaching to reach what they need? You cannot. The reason why Subud is not some-thing we study is because whatever we study, what we can learn is limited to the boundary of the human mind and when our brain ceases to function, when it stops, it cannot provide what we need at that point. So everything that you need must grow, it must all be there, and you have to do this yourself. This is be-cause everyone’s development will be different. My journey will not be the same as yours; your path will not be the same as anyone else’s. Brothers and sisters, for us in Subud, from the very start, from the begin-ning, Subud is a reality, or hakekat. Hakekat is something that you receive without using your mind, but that

comes by God’s grace. What we re-ceive is real. Something that is real means that you can feel it and experi-ence it with your inner feeling, with your awareness. So, in truth Subud is simple; simple as all we have to do is to surrender to Almighty God, but at the same time we must follow God’s Will. So what is God’s Will? God has cre-ated you in this world as a human be-ing so clearly God intends that when you go home you will bear the title, the brand � ‘human being’, before God.

You will experience all these proc-esses in your training, which is why you can say that this training has no limit; there is no end to it. You may think that when you reach a certain age your development stop, it will be com-plete. That’s not so! This is why you should never be bored to do latihan, because in truth it is an obligation. It is an obligation for you before God. So now that you have introduced your-self to God, follow God’s guidance, follow what Almighty God Wills! An obligation means that you must do it of your own volition. No one needs to tell you, no one needs to order you, be-cause it is for your own good. So brothers and sisters, I feel my ex-planation is enough for tonight, be-cause we will continue with some test-ing as you have requested. The testing is so that you can check yourself, so that you can feel how far you have progressed on this spiritual path. May the Peace and Blessings of God be with you! We will start testing with the ladies, so will the gentlemen leave the room.

Thank you.

Now the nature of this grace does not mean that overnight you become talented or rich or receive great fortune, but it will work in a way that God wills. So, as a human being created by God, after we endeavour to diligently follow God�s Commandments, all that�s left for us to do is surrender. And as for the form of this grace: if we receive it we will feel grateful and praise God, and hopefully whatever God grants us will form a basis for our lives thereafter; that for those of you who receive this grace, it will further your life, both in this world and the hereafter.�

"Bapak feels very thankful to Almighty God for now is really the right time to develop this youth organization, and per-haps we can have an encour-aging result because children or young people are said to be the flower of the nation. “So, if the flower of a nation is not fragrant and wilts, it will eventu-ally become impossible for that nation to attain excellence and be-come an example to the world. “Brothers and sisters, those of us who are already old should not abandon the young. “On the contrary, the old should make efforts to allow young people to quickly receive the latihan keji-waan, just as their parents re-ceived it, so that the young, who are the flower of a nation and the potential advisors and leaders of their respective countries, may be-come excellent leaders whose good example will be followed by their friends . . . “Bapak was going to ask this Con-gress . . . to really lend its support and see that the steps are given full attention and assistance." Bapak's comments from the Seventh World Congress in Anugraha, England 1983 What a time to be alive! These comments from Bapak carry particular meaning for me since the recent tragedies unfolded before us this year. As an American, the September 11th trag-edy brought home the realization of how precious life really is. The outpouring of emotion and prayer that came from the rest of the world swept across the Internet. I was touched by that communication and the media coverage. The events revealed how our inner feelings are connected to the world at large, and that a global commu-nity exists in which we each participate in - with or without knowing the full im-pact of our connection.

For me, the events made things simpler and more fo-cused, highlighting the im-portance of prioritizing my choices in life. As a younger member in Subud and a "flower of a nation", I truly see the global need for the latihan kejiwaan and how instrumental it is if we are ever to achieve world peace. One blessing I've since re-ceived from this experience has been the development of how I understand my role as a co-chair for Subud Youth International. I grew up in Subud. After I was opened, I found the lati-han to be a comforting and familiar experience, as I un-consciously knew it would be. However, I did not real-ize until many years later, that I was embarrassed and shy about sharing this experi-ence with friends and family not in Subud. I could not find the correct words to describe my profoundly personal, spiritual practice to the outside world. I know I was resistant to talking about Subud, in part, because I didn't want to risk verbal attack or scrutiny by people who couldn't understand my explanation. I didn't want to be put in a situation where I was defending my involvement in a group that seemed a bit "out there" or ungrounded. I decided to not speak about it for many years and I remained quiet. As I became more active and secure in my participation in Subud, I realized that I was not taking ownership and pride in a spiritual practice that continued to shape who I was becoming. I consciously made a pact with myself and began to mention it to others. Over the next couple of years, I would coura-geously present Subud to my non-Subud friends and co-workers. An amazing and unexpected shift began to take place for me. Not only did most people respond posi-tively to my explanation, but they also said it made sense to them that I was in-volved in such a community because of my personality and my way of interacting. I was pleasantly surprised how good it felt to be open and communicative about Subud.

Suddenly I had the energy to give and vol-unteer more time to organizing activities within my local group and region. I felt it was time to test whether I should be a helper, something that I was resistant to for many years. The answer to that test question was "yes." No sooner than I had completed my helper candidacy, I suddenly found myself with a new job as co-chair for Subud Youth Inter-national in Bali this summer. As someone who has grown up in Subud, I realize I've too often taken the latihan for granted and I recognize how fortunate I've been in being a part of our extended Subud family. I have no doubt that Subud has had a tremendous impact in shaping me into becoming who I've become as a person. Many of my Subud friends from this sec-ond generation are courageously stepping forward to become helpers. Although this may sound like a natural progression of growth in Subud, several women have re-ported difficulties and frustrations with their process of becoming a helper. There seems to be a lack of understanding of appropriate protocol and procedure within our helper culture. Many of us have witnessed varying degrees of power strug-gles among helpers.

THE FLOWER OF THE NATION New youth co-chair reflects on the world and her role

Younger members also report feelings of criticism and scrutiny with regards to their personal lives. Every person has her own experience and certainly they are not all negative, but we must persevere and use our integrity to sort through such struggles as they arise. International helpers in Bali tested and confirmed the existence and need for co-chairs (one female, one male) for Subud Youth Association International. Now that I've been in this role for four months, I am keenly aware of the kejiwaan aspect that cannot be separated or ignored. On the contrary, the kejiwaan is deeply inter-woven into the responsibility of the job. Manuel Oliver, my co-chair, and I were both immediately made aware about why our sharing the role was to be essential to the continual development of a "youth organization". I began to experience latihans in which I had a sudden awareness of the state of "youth" in the global community of Subud. I was amazed by the tremendous strength I felt from the quality of the latihan prac-ticed by young members today. World Subud Council members in Austin tested the role and quality of each position on the WSC. Many of us received that the co-chair roles of SYAI included a ground-ing state of worship to help members maintain feelings of quiet and calm. Coupled with this duty was an awareness of the sadness and despair felt among many of this planet's young people. It seems to be an important, maybe pivotal time in Subud as we spread our contribu-tions to the world at large. Needless to say, it has been clear from the beginning of my acceptance of this co-chair role that it is far wider and larger than a so-called "committee" position. I am just settling into the role and I ask for your patience and forgiveness if I have been slow in gaining momentum in pre-liminary outreach to membership.

I view Subud Youth as having two pri-mary purposes. The first is that each gen-eration acts as a role model and helps en-courage younger members to participate in youth activities and to convey the impor-tance of the latihan. The second purpose requires spirited en-ergy to initiate and organize activities that can welcome all people. I came to this conclusion after the Subud Youth work-shops in Bali. These themes provided the basis for our mission statement. Here is the SYAI Mission Statement for the next four years. We will provide the environment and the support to encourage young and newly pened members to comfortably and fully participate in Subud; and to support and encourage Subud youth to take initiative to organize activities which welcome all people. In Bali, many members expressed the view that SYA is a bridge between gen-erations, and that its existence supports younger members to take "the next step." This step may involve participating in more active roles in our Subud organiza-tion as a whole, or assessing a need and thus creating a new role. Or the next step could involve volunteer-ing to coordinate an event for one's local group, or simply sharing Subud experi-ences with non-Subud folks. The latter is interesting because it is not so easy for many of us. There seems to be a historical tendency that works toward keeping Subud and the latihan a secret. This attitude isn't some-thing I wish to pass on to future genera-tions. To counteract it really requires that each of us takes pride and ownership in Subud. I would like to acknowledge and thank Renee Flynn for her contribution to a re-cent article in Subud Voice on "What can the Subud Youth Association do for the UN?" It reminded me how sharing stories and personal insights with our Subud commu-nity at large can make a connection that inspires us to do good work. It is espe-cially positive to witness younger mem-bers taking the time to write and submit articles to Subud publications. Such initiative shows commitment and hope for the growth of Subud as a whole. It also represents a good role model for the generations behind us to step into ac-tive roles within Subud. Bapak stated that the aim of Subud youth is that each gen-eration demonstrates a role model for gen-erations to come.

We are the example and the children now in Subud are looking to us for guid-ance. But it is the diligent practice of the latihan kejiwaan that supports the "flowers of the nation", Subud youth, to remain upright and beautiful. I am presently in Jakarta, Indonesia ex-periencing Subud with a new set of cul-tural lenses. Younger members discuss their apprehension in expressing desires to take on more active roles such as be-coming helpers. There is tremendous respect for elders coupled with the fact that there are large groups of active helpers, many of whom have remained in their helper capacity for decades. The result is a feeling that space is lacking for youth to take on new roles without the risk of causing friction between the generations. Coming from the outside, my hope is to assist in bridging this gap thereby creat-ing an environment where discussions can begin to take place while maintain-ing harmony. Manuel and I will also spend time in Kalimantan to assist with projects implemented this past summer. I sense it is the right time to be there while projects are gaining momentum and tak-ing shape. I'd like to give thanks to my parents for joining Subud and displaying such cour-age to pioneer and spread the latihan. Thank you to all of you, the members, for your support and heartfelt encourage-ment to support the next generation of members to take the helm in maintaining and spreading the latihan. As I now find myself blessed with the gifts of this new role as co-chair for SYAI, I ask for your forgiveness if I have offended or hurt any member with my words or actions. I can promise that I will do my best to fulfill my role and do all I can to be a role model. Please support us by communicating your hopes, encouragement, prayers, or stories. We are looking for someone to coordinate the posting of a monthly "Youth Bulletin" of events and news on Subud web sites. If you are interested or know of someone who might enjoy such a role, please email me. I am in the process of collecting email addresses of youth around the world. If you have not received email correspon-dence from me recently, please write to harfijahc@yahoo.com and you will be happily added to the collection. May God's grace continue to bless and bestow us with infinite gifts. Harfijah Chung: Co-chair, Subud Youth Association International

In December Akiko Fraval, who works for Save the Children in Melbourne, organised a seminar for Save the Children workers from Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Pacific at Sine Cera.

Munawaroh English writes…

The last people left this morning in the bus provided by a friend of mine from "Helping Hands International Australia”. They brought most people and picked them up again. These people came from Australia New Zealand Thailand. Cambodia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea.

The participants all had a wonderful time and left very happy with the week they spent with us. A man from Vanuatu told me as he was boarding the bus: "You looked after us like a Mother." As I was hanging out the sheets yesterday, a Fijian lady came to me and said, "What a special place this is. One can feel the pres-ence of God so strongly. Yes, this is in-deed a healing place as it says on the front of Fahr House. I came with eczema and it has been healed." So we just hugged and laughed and I said, "Yes indeed this is so." So now we are getting ready for what this place was built for. It never ceases to amaze me how much energy I receive to do all this work. Everyone is always amazed. But the angels are there to help. God be praised. I am so fortunate to have the privilege to do this. We received a grant from SDI so I was able to buy new towels and set up the Health Centre so we can start operating. I have many calls from people who wish to come. If anybody wishes to help some poor soul who cannot afford to come to regain his or her health, our sponsorships are still very welcome. For Australians it is tax deducti-ble. Any amount is welcome as we hope to assist many people.

FUNDACION AMOR

Fundacion Educative Amor (F.E. Amor) that so many of us are familiar with has not disappeared as may have been the impression due to quite a long period of silence on the part of Sebastian de los Rios who took control of the project in September 2000. In spring of 2000 SD International wrote in Subud Voice that the project was un-dergoing major changes after Monica had left, and discouraged people from sending donations due to lack of infor-mation and accountability. Fundacion Educativa Amor is today still operating under the leadership of Sebas-tian and we would like to bring you up to date. Monica Ramirez will not return to the project; there is a completely new board in place that is registered with the Government, and Subud Colombia have relinquished their responsibility. F.E. Amor is continuing to serve the migrant community in Santa Ana and Sebastian is doing all he can to put the project back onto an even keel.

At present F.E. Amor is running two schools: one in Santa Ana, Soacha near Bogota and a new school in Tebaida not far from Amanecer. This second school was opened following the separation of F.E. Amor and Fundacion Amanacer in October 2000. Sebastian is director of the school in Santa Ana and Lazaro Ramirez, Monica's brother, is director of the school in Tebaida where 50 students are pres-ently taught. In August 2001 Dag Lucke from the SD Germany Board was in Ecuador and was able to meet Sebastian there for 2 days. He learnt that Sebastian is determined to keep the school going, has drastically cut costs, has addressed the issue of the debt of the school and has applied for funds to many possible sources within Colombia The school in Soacha has finished the current school year in November with 280 students, 17 teachers (employed on an hourly basis) and 4 additional staff. Extra curricular activities for students continue, and other activities include computer and tailor training, courses in the ICDP methodology for mothers, as-sisting refugee families resettle in their home regions.

Since the crisis in 2000 there have been no donations from Subud or Susila Dharma sources until recently. In order to make ends meet, Sebastian has sold the administration headquarters in Bo-gota for $41,000 and the van for $6,000. There have also been Government con-tracts for some of the programs. None-theless there is still a shortfall for 2001 of about $17.000. Since Dag's meeting with Sebastian in August communication, financial report-ing and co-operation have been very good. SD Germany therefore decided to resume its support of F.E. Amor and would like to encourage others to con-sider this project since SD Germany is not in the position to meet the needs for outside funding of F.E. Amor alone. So far SD Holland has contributed from funds kept on hold. Subud members are reminded to work through and with their national Susila Dharma organizations who make the decisions for each case. If there are no active Susila Dharma organizations in your country, or for more information on support, please contact Renée Zimmer, Director of SD Germany, at czimmer@t-online.de.

POETIC JUSTICE ARRIVES! A new online service provides pocketsize poems for troubled times In these troubled times, something is needed to cheer everyone up! So Dahlan (Lassalle) and Fredrik (Lloyd) have done it. Over the summer Fredrik (a poet) be-gan sending out very short poems to friends and family via his mobile phone. Those who know him put up with that sort of thing! Dahlan took them seriously, and launched the idea that maybe the general public would like a poem sent by Fredrik each day, as a refreshing break from all the real news we drown in. Nectar digital (www.nectardigital.com) a company owned by Fredrik and two oth-ers, subud member Alinah Azedeh, and post-Subud member Katja Garood, worked with Dahlan and Rafe Nauen (www.dbxnet.com), also a Subud member to put it together. www.poem-me.com is the access point, from this web site, people pay by card, and say if they want the service to their mobile phones (now available across Europe and in USA and Australia) or in a daily email (worldwide). The poems arrive each day, 5 days a week, for either one month (£4) or three months (£10). To read some sample poems and to sub-scribe to the service, log onto www.poem-me.com. As Dahlan says, we want to provide a ser-vice that creates an inner smile, or a quiet laugh. Small is beautiful, these poems are small enough to fit in your pocket!

THANKS TO ILAINE Dear Editor, We feel strongly the necessity to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to dear Ilaine for the wonderful work she has done editing SV for so many years. She started it and brought it up to what it is today, a worldwide Subud platform for us to say and express our feelings and ex-periences and read about what goes on everywhere else. It is a moment full of joy and expectancy when the brown envelope is pulled out of the letterbox and we can't wait to sit down and start reading. We're sorry to see you "go" but it is obvious that there is a new page waiting for you ahead. We hope that there are many more who will join us here to say THANK YOU ILAINE! and bless you for whatever work is waiting for you out there. Varda and Lavan Daliot: Jerusalem, Israel PREMIER HOTELS - NO MORE FUDGES The October issue of Subud Voice con-tained a belated report by Maxwell Shorter of the meetings about Premier which were held during the Subud World Congress in Bali earlier this year. Santa Raymond chaired these meetings, and Maxwell Shorter kept the Minutes. Premier’s collapse is a major Subud wound which remains unhealed, and I was not encouraged by Maxwell’s article - a brave effort but one which, I fear, raises as many questions as it answers. It is vital, therefore, that the Minutes, which Maxwell kept, should be published in full and unedited form, without further delay. No “permission” from speakers is needed for this to happen, nor should such permis-sion be sought: Maxwell made an accurate near-verbatim transcript at the time, as he has confirmed. This is what we all now need to read, and when it appears, anyone who was present can raise objections if any factual errors or omissions are identified.

An open meeting of shareholders arranged by shareholders to share important infor-mation serves little purpose if its proce-dural records are not thereafter made available to all interested parties. Only then can an informed wider discussion ensue: and only then can constructive con-clusions be drawn by anyone. For all our sakes, and especially for the sake of Subud and its future in the world, let’s now have transparency and account-ability, even at this late hour. Let’s have done with all devious, easy and shameless fudges, especially those fixed up by artful dodgers behind closed doors. Otherwise (as with Anugraha) the wounds will fester further and the future will be bleak. Maxwell cannot put right the mis-takes and misdeeds of others, but surely he can publish those Minutes which he so scrupulously took in Bali: indeed, as I see it, it is his duty to do so. Robert Wilton: UK. DON’T LABEL THE ELDERLY Simone van Beek wrote in the discussions about the elderly: "Older people are not all that easy to please." I might respond to that, "Should we be?" I certainly did not feel at all pleased to read a letter by Robiyan Easty referring to older folks as “oldies”. I found it quite offensive especially so in these times of ultra political correctness, where people of different races, abilities and sexual orientation etc. must be re-ferred to by whatever label is in vogue at the moment. It is as bad as O.A.P. (Old Age Pensioner). I can just see these unaffordable single bedroom places an Oldie needs (ouch) with their oldie labels tied round them.. It would go a long way if all groups sup-ported its members of all ages. For anyone who finds it difficult to ex-plain Subud to those who ask, I have re-cently found a most succinct and satisfac-tory answer to "What Is Subud?" It is to be found in Book Four of Bapak’s talks, page 101, the talk given in LA June 15 1959. To paraphrase it - Subud is the worship of God by God’s Will without using your heart and mind.
