Here is a selection of stories telling of our own adventures as well as from kindred spirits who were in touch with us at that time. For some years UWP languished because of lack of finance. But it seems the world wide web has given us another chance, and another lease of life! ">

95<b>What is Subud?</b><br>by Raymond van Sommers<br><i>It was 11 October 2005 and I had just met Rachael Kohn, a well-known presenter from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Radio National, Religion Unit . We were in the lobby of ABC Head Office building in Ultimo, Sydney, at her invitation that I take part in an interview for her weekly program The Ark. The subject was to be What is Subud? based on the personal experiences in my book, <b>A Life in Subud</b>.

123<b> <a href="ripplesem.pdf">Ripples of Emotion</b>  (PDF 136KB)</a></b><br>by Ray Douglas<br>
124 <i>This, indeed, is what water can mean to the human heart: the tangible symbol
125whereby its own feelings, sentiments, emotions, are reflected back and redoubled.
126Water tends to have the effect of heightening whatever we are already feeling—thus a
127stream, a lake, a fountain, a spring, a waterfall, seen through emotional eyes, can represent in one, sorrow, in another, great love, in yet another, despair; perhaps even
128hatred and a desire for revenge. Peace of mind is there too, and almost automatically
129the poetic heart is inspired by water and drawn towards its musical sound and reflected light.</i>

137created before femininity. The archetypal male principle seems firmly rooted at least in
138that particular story of creation. There are other creation myths which see the creative
139principle as basically female...</i>

155In this regard many of us have come to think that it might not be a bad thing to look for a
156way out—a way up—to find that "hidden path" which should be somewhere at the root
157of all ways of searching, at the heart of all religions.</i>
