Hi Jupiter,
Just recently saw your post and question. Well I would say the main thing that has helped me to overcome all of my brain pollution from Subud ( funny that , we weren't supposed to be thinking were we?) has been getting to know what the bible says about it all.
I became a christian after leaving Subud and once I realised what the bible plainly taught I was able to see through all Pak Subuhs lies and distortions of the scriptures. Basing my life on the bible has been completely liberating for me and produced the fruit in my life I looked for in vain in Subud. The bible tells us plainly to test the spirits and their message. If it doesn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord it is not of God, simple, end of story.
Through coming to Jesus Christ as my Saviour my heart has been filled with a love divine beyond my own and I continue to grow in wisdom and grace in Him. The bible tells of false prophets in the last days particularly and of their false fruits. Theres no real love in Subud or joy or any of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The spirit of the latihan is not the Holy Spirit received upon conversion to Christ but another spirit which basically says all ways lead to God when Jesus plainly said 'I am the way the truth and the life" So Pak Subuh has deliberately deceived people into thinking they can keep on with their christianity while its completely against the main teachings of the Christian faith. In fact he actively evangelised Christians into converting to the Muslim faith. ..more later.
