HOPE MAGAZINE
Posted by Anonymous
Saturday, December 07, 2002

I am working on a concept for a professional magazine called "HOPE". I believe that such a magazine would stand out against the background of hopelessness projected by most of today's print media.
A few weeks ago, I was walking through the airport, feeling rather low, I looked around for something to lift my spirits. My choices: drown in the news or get lost in a host of diversions. I chose to live with my feelings. At that moment I remembered an idea I had many years ago - it was a magazine called "Hope".

Menucha Spiritual Retreat

l just got back from the Menucha retreat in Oregon. What an experience! I am astounded that it still packs such a wallop after all these years! This time I stayed in the 'Barn', which is not actually a barn, but a lower priced option where one may stay without having the food program. I did not want the food since I am fasting and have somewhat odd eating habits anyway. I shared the barn space with a group of young people, and was pleased for the opportunity to get to know them better. I am hopeful for our future! They are amazing, talented, energetic, and full of new ideas. We stayed awake together late into the night, and had long discussions about Subud life and other topics. My feeling is that they would like to participate more in Subud, other than just doing latihan, but are lacking the opportunities. I hope we can make space for that. I came to the conclusion that we older members need to be more active in inviting and encouraging them to participate in all aspects of the Subud association.

How do we create a culture of enthusiasm, trust in one another and above all.....
..... a sense of giving on every level?
I have written this article because I and I believe many others in Subud wish to form a consensus on moving forwards. Many people probably feel that we have had one too many financial and project based let downs. Hey life's tough. Or on the other hand, there exists in whatever measure a culture of condescension and cultishness wherein there is a hierarchy of those who "know how it should be" and there is resulting conflict with others. The net result of which has been an overall sense of failure, a reduced trust in one another and this abstract "separate" organisation called the Subud Organisation. Above all there is a despondency when it comes to the matters of financial and practical management. Which in turn has lead to a sense of stagnation and drift in our organisation because of people's fear of a repeat of past hiccups and 'hurt'.
I don't believe anyone thinks all is lost and we shall never really achieve much of the receiving that Bapak had envisioned for Subud. However, many people do the Latihan and don't pay much effort or attention to the wider organisation, which they would have enthusiastically done when Bapak was around. ...........READ ON

The Virtual Latihan Hall and Virtual Subud Office will soon be combined

Originally the Virtual Latihan Hall (VLH) was conceived by Stewart. His fount of inspiration did not dry up there. In time he came up with the Virtual Subud Office (VSO). The VLH meanwhile, although having a bogey coloured Subud Symbol that caused various hearts to flutter, it was soon to be good old gold. However, now the amalgamation of the VLH and VSO is on the cards, and this will be set up shortly......

Subud life and the Internet

The Internet is a tool that more and more people are gaining access to. In a very short while it will be as important as the telephone has been for the last 20 or 30 years. The Internet is a tool that one can communicate virtually anything over. In such a way it can be a means of communication, for Subud members and by way of example for non-Subud members, to see what Subud is doing all around the world.
There are numerous sites created by Subud....
