    20th Century - The Event of Subud

    Subud is "poor" and many groups don't have their own premises. I think it is preferable to have a quite surrounding for any form of worship and Subud is no exception. Some do walked around muttering to themselves. The closest comparison to their spiritual receiving or exercise might be the...

    20th Century - The Event of Subud

    I am a Subud member and have read many of the translated talks given by Muhammad Subuh. He was a Javanese Indonesian Muslim and I think he interprets everything in a manner that could be considered strange by outsiders. My vague memory of the Subud interpretation is: Susila - ... I can't...

The defining activity of Subud is the half-hourly "latihan kedjiwaan" (Indonesian for spiritual exercise). If it is held in...

    20th Century - The Event of Subud

    There is no fee to join Subud. Members contribute according to his means the necessary fund for keeping the organization going - like rentals for the exercise premise, etc. I think no budget for "staff" salaries.

    20th Century - The Event of Subud

    I do understand your concern about corruption and how human falls away from the highest principles. I don't think I have any answer except to repeat what have already been said - that man is weak. Religion developed in the past and "intermediaries" were necessary as people had to pass on what...
