My Subud Life Muhammad Isman Kanafsky

Over the years many Subud members would ask me to write a book about my spiritual experiences in Subud. I would usually say that I would someday write one. But I never felt moved to do so by the power of God. I have always felt that if it was in accordance with God?s will, that I would be moved to do it. Well finally one day, without thinking about it, I felt moved to start writing this book. To my surprise, it was January 31, 2011. This was the day that I experienced my official opening in Subud, forty-six years ago. Although I first received the spiritual exercise of Subud about six or seven months before my official opening when I had never even heard about Subud. I give my praise and thanks to the One Almighty God, to whom I owe everything. My feeling is that this book is especially for the young Subud members. My hope is that they will be given the enthusiasm to continue receiving the spiritual exercise of Subud and not get bored. I pray that God will give them the patience that is required to continue and the faith in God that is necessary for their well being and spiritual development. May God give them the understanding to wait until they are moved by the power of God and not use their own will when receiving the spiritual exercise of Subud.
