Djubaidah and the Dream of the Magnolias

I met Djubaidah as I was becoming opened in Subud. A good friend of mine Sebastian Nicolas had returned from Jakarta where he had been spontaneously opened in the Latihan Kejiwaan or spiritual exercise. I found myself very sensitive in his company and upon further inquiry, found myself at the door of Djubaidah Irwin, long-time Subud member and helper.  Prior to meeting Djubaidah I had hit a low point in my life and was reaching out for a new point of entry. Each time I would run into Djubaidah I would say, "I have been meaning to come and see you", where she would reply with sweet assurity, "you will come when you are ready".  Very shortly after I had a dream of passionflowers and magnolias. As the blossoms opened up, they took flight like doves and the beating of their wings woke me from my sleep. I knew it was time to go and learn about the Latihan.  It was after one deeply touching practice I asked to take Djubaidah's portrait in her garden. After processing her image I found a flash of white light floating above her head. It was this photograph that I was moved to paint.
