Page "Subud" Paragraph 17

As these experiences proceeded, Pak Subuh explained, he gained spontaneous insight into people and situations that he did not possess before.

Around 1933, as he reported, he received that if other people were physically near him while he was in a state of ' latihan ', then the experience would begin in them also.

While still in his early thirties, Pak Subuh's reputation as someone with spiritual insight apparently grew, and people went to him to be ' opened '.

They in turn could open others, and this is how Subud eventually spread around the world.
