This book was written at the suggestion of Muhammad Subuh. It is primarily for Subud members but, in the words of Bapak when giving approval for its publication, ‘If it is read by someone who is not in Subud that does not matter.'

We live in perhaps the most troubled, dangerous, socially abnormal world that humankind has ever endured … Yet ‘there is an antidote to the present world situation, not through complex technological systems or political antics but through the deeper process of human change.’
The ‘antidote’ referred to is the Subud latihan. In this book twenty-two practising Subud members, of different religions and from different parts of the world, describe the effect of the latihan on their lives.

Ideal for enquirers.

Maryam’s book feels like a leaf floating along a gently flowing stream being taken here and there by the rippling of the water.

There is an ‘otherworldly’ quality to the writing, and a feeling of being allowed to be part of the flow of the author’s intriguing life at the heart of Subud in Greece and Cilandak.
Numerous photographs illustrate the journey.

In 1981 a seminar unlike any held before took place at Benaix in the Basses Pyrenées under the auspices of the Subud Brotherhood International Foundation. The participants were members of Subud – a spiritual movement that makes no propaganda for itself, and embraces all religions and all races. Its basis is a spiritual exercise that is at once an act of purification, inner education and worship.
The fifteen attending the seminar were mostly trained in the psychiatric and caring professions, and were from eleven different countries of origin.
