  • A Subud Bibliography

    A Subud Bibliography

    A Subud Bibliography By Matthew Clark COPYRIGHT 2003, 2004, 2005 July 15, 2005 version Welcome Brothers, Sisters, Booklovers and Fellow Bibliophiles to “A Subud Bibliography”, my labor of love (or rampant purification if you ask my wife)--In either case, the first step in my dream to one day see a comprehensive library or literary collection of Subud and Subud-related writings accessible to members and scholars everywhere. I have been an avid reader and book-collector since childhood. (My mother drove a bookmobile and used to bring home armloads of discarded books for us to read). When my father passed away in 1995, I was fortunate to inherit part of his esoteric book collection…and his great love of Subud books. That’s when the seed was planted…the idea of gathering under one roof everything written about Bapak and Subud and by Subud members. It has grown slowly since then until, with the advent of the Internet, it became possible to begin systematically collecting much of what has been written about Subud and by its members. This is certainly a work in process, far from finished; in fact, never to be finished as long as Subud continues. It is more than a list…it is a living history of Subud, beginning with Rofe’s first article in October 1951 in an obscure journal (discovered by divine inspiration in a sub-basement of the New York Public Library) and continuing through all the great (and some not-so-great) Subud-related books and articles of the past half century.

    Subud Resolutions Freiburg, Germany 2018

    Page 1 of 8 SUMMARY OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE 2018 SUBUD INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS IN FREIBURG, GERMANY The following proposals and resolutions were adopted at the 2018 Subud International Congress and apply to all Subud groups and members. Please see the Minutes of the Fifteenth Subud World Congress held in Freiburg, Germany in 2018 for further explanations and information. This is an informal summary of the proposals and resolutions adopted in Freiburg and reported in that document. The Following Proposals on Organization Were Adopted (1.) The Book on Organization or “White Book” was presented to the delegates. Countries felt that it was important to maintain the position that countries need to work within the laws of their own country. It was further suggested that the White Book should be accepted as a working document and that all positions of members involved in the organization such as Kejiwaan Councillors should be part of the document. Although the document was presented in both English and Spanish, it was recommended that it be in other languages as well (this is in process at this time). PROPOSAL The delegates accept the guidelines as a working draft. The delegates request that WSA establish a working group to expand and reorganize the White Book to include important quotes from Bapak’s talks as advice to committees. This work is to be carried out over the next 4 to 8 years. Further, the “sources” should be placed within the context of the book rather than at the end. Vote: Britain proposed, Austria seconded 37-0-0 (2.) Membership Countries Following Italy’s proposal to the Puebla Congress, several countries reviewed the requirements for membership in WSA.

  • Clear the Path to the Latihan

    Clear the Path to the Latihan

    Clear the Path to the Latihan In order for Subud to operate in the world with credibility, it needs to get out of its ‘spiritual egocentrism’ and isolationism and start facing a world that tends to consider spiritual movements with great skepticism and prejudice. We have to take this into account, showing respect for others and for the ethical standards of society in general and adjust our language and presentations of Subud accordingly. At the same time we have to do this without compromising what we consider the core values of Subud to be. The basic idea is that the presentation of Subud must be adjusted to the nature of the audience—to the receiver. —Recommendations of the 2005 Subud World Congress Forum on Presenting Subud in the World: the Image of Subud The incredible shrinking Subud Subud is not growing. Because it is not growing, it is ageing. Because it is ageing, it will suffer a collapse in numbers over the next ten to twenty years. This fact is reflected in the statistics. The number of Subud members over the last forty years has remained largely unchanged, at 10–12,000. We don’t know how many of those are active. Over the same forty years, the population of the earth has more than doubled. Thus, although in absolute terms Subud has remained static, in relative terms it is shrinking. Subud stays the same, while the world around it grows. This fact is also reflected in personal anecdotes. Tony Bright-Paul, who wrote one of the very first personal accounts of Subud, wrote recently of how many of the groups in the UK are composed largely of members of his generation.
  • GUIDELINES on the USE and DESIGN of the SUBUD SYMBOL Approved by the World Subud Council, November 2000

    GUIDELINES on the USE and DESIGN of the SUBUD SYMBOL Approved by the World Subud Council, November 2000

    GUIDELINES ON THE USE AND DESIGN OF THE SUBUD SYMBOL Approved by the World Subud Council, November 2000. Edited June 2013. OWNERSHIP The Subud symbol should be treated as the exclusive property of the World Subud Association. DESIGN Wherever the symbol is used, it should be used according to the following: 1. The design consists of seven concentric circles and seven ‘spokes’. One of the ‘spokes’ is straight up at 12 o 'clock. The spokes come together at the centre, and each spoke should be wider at the edge than at the centre. The nearer the outside, the wider they get. There are always only seven spokes. The circles get wider also, as they go out, the outermost circle being the widest. The width of the circles should be the same as that of the spokes when they reach them. The circles become wider, but the space between them remains the same. There are always only seven circles. 2. When using colour to depict the Subud symbol, the preferred options are lines and circles to be gold, yellow or white on a blue or black background. See the following examples: gold on blue and gold blue circles on white Other possibilities, although not preferred are lines and circles to be blue, black or gold on white or transparent background 3. No lettering, lines or other designs should ever be placed directly above the symbol. 4. No lettering should ever be superimposed on the symbol. 5. No letters or designs should ever be superimposed on the symbol or be placed behind it or be visible through it.

    ABSTRACT Mysticism plays a significant role within the tradition of Javanese gamelan.
