That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do.

My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 144 (Without An Outline) 1. Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. Thank you for the beautiful letter that you sent to Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. We" understand what you are saying, when you say, "Recently we have been forgetting, not learning, forgetting what we believe, who we are, not sure about what's what, all praise be to God, truly, my loving brother, my own life, my dear brother, my love you, may God protect you and Chrissy. All praises be to God, please forgive our ignorance, please forgive our arrogance, please may your light dispel our darkness, please my Father, Bawa, hello! Your beloved son." Bawa. "We" have felt this way many, many times, and "We" still feel this way at times, even after 33 years of sitting at the "Feet of God" for our age and for all life, at the feet of Our Dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him), and feeling and thinking this way is fine, and certainly Ok, but what you do with these feelings and this way of thinking can be a real problem in your life, and if not corrected can truly lead to the destruction of your life, and an eternal life in hell, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which is not good. Ok? Bawa. It is sort of like getting a "flat tire", at first that may seem like a real problem, because it has stopped you on our journey, but while fixing the flat you discover something much more serious that if not corrected immediately could have caused your car to run off the road or into another car, causing you and others serious injury, even death. So what was the "flat tire", but a "Gift" from God to help you. Bawa. So it is with Everything in your life, it is all a "Gift from God", So too with the words that you have shared with Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), they are truly a "Gift from God" to help you, to help you discover something much more serious, than what you are Now feeling or thinking, that if not corrected immediately could cause you to run off the road of life or into another life, causing you and others serious injury, even death. Bawa. So lets take a look at the options that you have in your life, in this journey of the soul, that is, of traveling the "Path of Truth", and avoiding the "path of falsehood" within you. Ok? Bawa. First, lets take a look at why "We" spoke about the Qualities of God, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), because this will give you an insight, if you like, into the "Real Problem" that you and all of My Children are Now facing, a "Real Problem" that is always hiding in the shadows of your life, but rarely seen by My Children, that is, a "Real Problem" that all other minor problems of your life, like the "flat tire", or Now your feelings and thoughts, are designed to uncover, if you like. Bawa. That is, if you are truly looking for "what is wrong", and "What Is Right", in your life, and Not simply trying to "get on with your life", that is, Not simple trying to get on with "living in the world", Now as a man or woman, as a mother or father, as a son or daughter, that is, as "a person", as "your parents", that is, as in truth the "false fellowship" of your life, where you come together with other "like minded people", and talk about everything, including talking about God, and about Bawa, and Now even talking about Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as My Children Now seem to be doing, but to your peril. Bawa. So What Are The Qualities of God? Bawa. In truth the Qualities of God are a bridge between "you" and "You", they are How We Can Talk To You About God, about the "Real You", and yet let you think and believe that "We" are talking about "you", about the "false you". Bawa. For in truth God Does Not Have The "Qualities of God", God Is "The Qualities of God", only "you" have qualities, because only "you" have an ego, only "you" exist as "separate from". Bawa. That is, God is "One with", God is "You", God is His Creation, God is One, while "you" are "separate from", that is, you are Now living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if "you" are "separate from" God, as if "you" are "separate from" You, as if "you" are "separate from" each other, and as if "you" are "separate from" the Creation of God, all of which is "Just Not True". Ok? Bawa. So "We" talk about the Qualities of God, So "you" can talk about the Qualities of God, So "you" can First see them as what you are lacking to become acceptable to God, that is, So "you" can First see them as How you reach God and merge with God, So you can First see them as How you better understand God, and the "Path of God". Bawa. But God is not like that, and neither are "You", only "you" are like that, for as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and as Now recorded for My Children as "A Prayer for Our Journey", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", which you can Now access and read On-line by clicking HERE (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com) "A Prayer for Our Journey" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), From the book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. I give you my love, my grandchildren, my sons and daughters. My brothers and sisters. All praise and praising belong to Allah alone, to God, the One of limitless grace, and incomparable love. He is the One who sees all lives with that amazing love, and protects all lives with His compassion, and His many qualities that never waver from justice or equality. God is a power. He has no form or shape. He is alone, and yet He is everywhere, existing as an eternal power that dwells in all lives, and sees them all as one. God is the One who creates, protects, and sustains. He is the one treasure for all of creation: for the earth and the sky, the sun and the moon, the body and the soul. He is the one treasure for life, for love, and for goodness. He knows the needs of every life, and feeds it accordingly. He is the supreme power who gives the milk of grace to all lives. That power called God is an ocean of grace that never diminishes, no matter how much is taken from it. He is an ocean of bliss, wisdom, love, and compassion. He is an ocean of divine knowledge, or 'ilm, from which each life can take whatever it needs for the freedom of its soul in all three worlds: the primal beginning known as awwal, this world of earth, or dunya, and the hereafter, or akhirah. This vast ocean contains the exalted treasures of all three worlds, and bestows them upon all creations, without partiality, without enmity, and without regard for individual innocence or guilt. The One who gives in that way, with compassionate love and grace, is the power know as God. This is the power we must turn to. This is the power we must look to with our wisdom, in order to acquire His qualities, and receive His wealth. We must strive to receive the life of grace, that comes from this power, and live our lives finding completeness within that grace. My children, if you strive with awareness, you can receive and develop wisdom, love, good qualities, and good actions. You must study and learn about the divine knowledge of life, that creates, protects, and sustains. You must understand both the state of Allah, and the state of a true human being or insan. You must know how the qualities of such a being can intermingle and become one with Allah's qualities. The children who do understand this subtle divine knowledge of life, are God's children of grace, the children of the perfect, pure kingdom. My children, if this kingdom is formed in your heart, and you rule it with absolute equality, showing no partiality whatsoever, and regarding nothing as God's equal. If this pure kingdom of the Lord of the universes, the Rabbil-'alamin, becomes the spotless house of your heart, then that heart will become His kingdom, and you will exist in the innermost heart of His heart, the qalb of His qalb. Once you open this kingdom within the heart, there you will find a house of mystery, a house without blemish, a house complete in Al-hamdu lillah, the endless and undiminishing praise of God. And when you look at this house, which you have built with His protection, and make into His house, you will see that this is heaven. This is paradise, the perfect and pure palace, of Allah's benevolence and undiminishing grace. In this house there will be no more darkness, torpor or differences. But if instead you build a house of envy, that house will become the hell in your life. My children, you must find this house of the innermost heart. You must know it to be absolute and real. Once you know that Allah's house is the qalb within your qalb, then your innermost heart will become the house of the hereafter here in this world. Amin. Amin. End of "A Prayer for Our Journey" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), From the book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" Bawa. This is God, and in truth this is "You", My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), not anything that "you" are Now thinking about, or doing, not anything that "you" Now understand, or don't understand. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what "you" must Now Turn To, each moment in your life, that is, "you" must turn to "You", "you" must Start to Reach Up to You, to "You" as God, to "You" as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", not to "you" as Aaron Weiss, not to "you" as the son of Elliot and Bitsy Weiss, not to "you" as the brother of Michael, not to "you" as a "song writer", or a friend, or a lover. Bawa. That is, Not to "you" as "the shirt" and the consciousness of "the shirt", not to "you" Now as "a person", not to "you" Now as "your parents", that is, not to "you" Now as the "false fellowship", where "you" sit with your brothers and sisters, and sing songs, or talk about the world, or talk about God, or talk about being good, or pure, or holy, or talk about the Qualities and Actions of God. Ok? Bawa. So Always read this "Prayer for Our Journey" when you go to bed and night, and when you first get up in the morning, and at noon, and at mid-afternoon, and at sunset, and at mid-evening, always saying the Name of "Your Father, Your Shaikh, Your Guru", the Name of Your God, now for your age and for your life, before you read it, Always inviting your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to come and read it, like you used to invite you mother or father or brother to read to you when you were a baby. Bawa. For in truth Now "You" are God's Baby, if you like, but you always have to come to Him as "His Baby", if He is ever to raise you, because you cannot "raise an adult", So please put down Aaron Weiss, and First Pick Up Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now "Who you are", and Step Out In This Direction in "Your Life", and then God Will Do Everything Else, that is, to "Make It So", that is, to Transform the "you" into "You", to Transform Aaron Weiss into Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and to then to Transform Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) into Bawa, that is, into the "Duty That Is Greater Than God". Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the One Heart) to your brother Michael, and to all of the members of "The Band", and to all of your brothers and sisters. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers. Amen. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him).

That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else.

Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. Thank you for the beautiful letter that you sent to Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. We" understand what you are saying, when you say, "Recently we have been forgetting, not learning, forgetting what we believe, who we are, not sure about what's what, all praise be to God, truly, my loving brother, my own life, my dear brother, my love you, may God protect you and Chrissy. All praises be to God, please forgive our ignorance, please forgive our arrogance, please may your light dispel our darkness, please my Father, Bawa, hello! Your beloved son." Bawa. "We" have felt this way many, many times, and "We" still feel this way at times, even after 33 years of sitting at the "Feet of God" for our age and for all life, at the feet of Our Dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him), and feeling and thinking this way is fine, and certainly Ok, but what you do with these feelings and this way of thinking can be a real problem in your life, and if not corrected can truly lead to the destruction of your life, and an eternal life in hell, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which is not good. Ok? Bawa. It is sort of like getting a "flat tire", at first that may seem like a real problem, because it has stopped you on our journey, but while fixing the flat you discover something much more serious that if not corrected immediately could have caused your car to run off the road or into another car, causing you and others serious injury, even death. So what was the "flat tire", but a "Gift" from God to help you. Bawa. So it is with Everything in your life, it is all a "Gift from God", So too with the words that you have shared with Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), they are truly a "Gift from God" to help you, to help you discover something much more serious, than what you are Now feeling or thinking, that if not corrected immediately could cause you to run off the road of life or into another life, causing you and others serious injury, even death. Bawa. So lets take a look at the options that you have in your life, in this journey of the soul, that is, of traveling the "Path of Truth", and avoiding the "path of falsehood" within you. Ok? Bawa. First, lets take a look at why "We" spoke about the Qualities of God, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), because this will give you an insight, if you like, into the "Real Problem" that you and all of My Children are Now facing, a "Real Problem" that is always hiding in the shadows of your life, but rarely seen by My Children, that is, a "Real Problem" that all other minor problems of your life, like the "flat tire", or Now your feelings and thoughts, are designed to uncover, if you like. Bawa. That is, if you are truly looking for "what is wrong", and "What Is Right", in your life, and Not simply trying to "get on with your life", that is, Not simple trying to get on with "living in the world", Now as a man or woman, as a mother or father, as a son or daughter, that is, as "a person", as "your parents", that is, as in truth the "false fellowship" of your life, where you come together with other "like minded people", and talk about everything, including talking about God, and about Bawa, and Now even talking about Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as My Children Now seem to be doing, but to your peril. Bawa. So What Are The Qualities of God? Bawa. In truth the Qualities of God are a bridge between "you" and "You", they are How We Can Talk To You About God, about the "Real You", and yet let you think and believe that "We" are talking about "you", about the "false you". Bawa. For in truth God Does Not Have The "Qualities of God", God Is "The Qualities of God", only "you" have qualities, because only "you" have an ego, only "you" exist as "separate from". Bawa. That is, God is "One with", God is "You", God is His Creation, God is One, while "you" are "separate from", that is, you are Now living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if "you" are "separate from" God, as if "you" are "separate from" You, as if "you" are "separate from" each other, and as if "you" are "separate from" the Creation of God, all of which is "Just Not True". Ok? Bawa. So "We" talk about the Qualities of God, So "you" can talk about the Qualities of God, So "you" can First see them as what you are lacking to become acceptable to God, that is, So "you" can First see them as How you reach God and merge with God, So you can First see them as How you better understand God, and the "Path of God". Bawa. But God is not like that, and neither are "You", only "you" are like that, for as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and as Now recorded for My Children as "A Prayer for Our Journey", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", which you can Now access and read On-line by clicking HERE (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com) "A Prayer for Our Journey" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), From the book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. I give you my love, my grandchildren, my sons and daughters. My brothers and sisters. All praise and praising belong to Allah alone, to God, the One of limitless grace, and incomparable love. He is the One who sees all lives with that amazing love, and protects all lives with His compassion, and His many qualities that never waver from justice or equality. God is a power. He has no form or shape. He is alone, and yet He is everywhere, existing as an eternal power that dwells in all lives, and sees them all as one. God is the One who creates, protects, and sustains. He is the one treasure for all of creation: for the earth and the sky, the sun and the moon, the body and the soul. He is the one treasure for life, for love, and for goodness. He knows the needs of every life, and feeds it accordingly. He is the supreme power who gives the milk of grace to all lives. That power called God is an ocean of grace that never diminishes, no matter how much is taken from it. He is an ocean of bliss, wisdom, love, and compassion. He is an ocean of divine knowledge, or 'ilm, from which each life can take whatever it needs for the freedom of its soul in all three worlds: the primal beginning known as awwal, this world of earth, or dunya, and the hereafter, or akhirah. This vast ocean contains the exalted treasures of all three worlds, and bestows them upon all creations, without partiality, without enmity, and without regard for individual innocence or guilt. The One who gives in that way, with compassionate love and grace, is the power know as God. This is the power we must turn to. This is the power we must look to with our wisdom, in order to acquire His qualities, and receive His wealth. We must strive to receive the life of grace, that comes from this power, and live our lives finding completeness within that grace. My children, if you strive with awareness, you can receive and develop wisdom, love, good qualities, and good actions. You must study and learn about the divine knowledge of life, that creates, protects, and sustains. You must understand both the state of Allah, and the state of a true human being or insan. You must know how the qualities of such a being can intermingle and become one with Allah's qualities. The children who do understand this subtle divine knowledge of life, are God's children of grace, the children of the perfect, pure kingdom. My children, if this kingdom is formed in your heart, and you rule it with absolute equality, showing no partiality whatsoever, and regarding nothing as God's equal. If this pure kingdom of the Lord of the universes, the Rabbil-'alamin, becomes the spotless house of your heart, then that heart will become His kingdom, and you will exist in the innermost heart of His heart, the qalb of His qalb. Once you open this kingdom within the heart, there you will find a house of mystery, a house without blemish, a house complete in Al-hamdu lillah, the endless and undiminishing praise of God. And when you look at this house, which you have built with His protection, and make into His house, you will see that this is heaven. This is paradise, the perfect and pure palace, of Allah's benevolence and undiminishing grace. In this house there will be no more darkness, torpor or differences. But if instead you build a house of envy, that house will become the hell in your life. My children, you must find this house of the innermost heart. You must know it to be absolute and real. Once you know that Allah's house is the qalb within your qalb, then your innermost heart will become the house of the hereafter here in this world. Amin. Amin. End of "A Prayer for Our Journey" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), From the book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" Bawa. This is God, and in truth this is "You", My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), not anything that "you" are Now thinking about, or doing, not anything that "you" Now understand, or don't understand. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what "you" must Now Turn To, each moment in your life, that is, "you" must turn to "You", "you" must Start to Reach Up to You, to "You" as God, to "You" as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", not to "you" as Aaron Weiss, not to "you" as the son of Elliot and Bitsy Weiss, not to "you" as the brother of Michael, not to "you" as a "song writer", or a friend, or a lover. Bawa. That is, Not to "you" as "the shirt" and the consciousness of "the shirt", not to "you" Now as "a person", not to "you" Now as "your parents", that is, not to "you" Now as the "false fellowship", where "you" sit with your brothers and sisters, and sing songs, or talk about the world, or talk about God, or talk about being good, or pure, or holy, or talk about the Qualities and Actions of God. Ok? Bawa. So Always read this "Prayer for Our Journey" when you go to bed and night, and when you first get up in the morning, and at noon, and at mid-afternoon, and at sunset, and at mid-evening, always saying the Name of "Your Father, Your Shaikh, Your Guru", the Name of Your God, now for your age and for your life, before you read it, Always inviting your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to come and read it, like you used to invite you mother or father or brother to read to you when you were a baby. Bawa. For in truth Now "You" are God's Baby, if you like, but you always have to come to Him as "His Baby", if He is ever to raise you, because you cannot "raise an adult", So please put down Aaron Weiss, and First Pick Up Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now "Who you are", and Step Out In This Direction in "Your Life", and then God Will Do Everything Else, that is, to "Make It So", that is, to Transform the "you" into "You", to Transform Aaron Weiss into Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and to then to Transform Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) into Bawa, that is, into the "Duty That Is Greater Than God". Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the One Heart) to your brother Michael, and to all of the members of "The Band", and to all of your brothers and sisters. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers. Amen. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. End of "Page 1 of 1" of Spiritual Letter 144 - On-line Version - "Without An Outline" ------------------------------- |
