Bapak’s 1981 world journey was his first after the 1979 Toronto Congress and gave rise to the much-loved book of 17 talks that was published under the title ‘All of Mankind’. Having had a massive coronary eight years earlier, Bapak undertook the journey against the advice of his doctors. His compromise was to visit fewer places and stay a bit longer than he had done on previous journeys. It meant that he ‘only’ visited 17 places on 4 continents and gave 81 talks.

The idea of enterprise as an expression of the latihan, and the balance between them, runs like a thread through the talks, which came at a time when Subud members all over the world were experimenting with enterprises in various fields. The S. Widjojo Centre had been successfully completed in Indonesia the year before, and Dell Park had just been purchased in Britain to be a UK Subud Centre supported by an enterprise. That was why, after stopping in Colombo, Bapak stayed for a month in London, giving 15 talks, and returned there on his way home.

Of the 81 talks that Bapak gave during his 1981 world journey, 8 were not recorded and 5 are yet to be recovered, including Bapak's talk in Lima, Peru. This leaves 68 talks, all of which feature on this DVD set.
