Food for the Spirit

From a story told by Varindra Vittachi:

"O

And this primary vibration, when it vibrated, it, in turn created the water, the air, the fire and the earth. So materiality was created then.'

So now this materiality has its own vibrations, which Bapak called the ’secondary vibrations.’ And you must be careful to learn in Subud, in the latihan, to distinguish between the primary and the secondary vibrations, the material vibrations."  Read More
