Baha'i Faith BMG style


Hey...look at that. The BMG is drumming up a storm in Washington State too.
Reported today, Oct. 22 on Flitzy Phoebie
"The two men on either side of me seemed to have the energy of a super-storm, of a tornado or a flash flood with a torrent of wind and rain, carving new channels through canyons. I imagined they had the ability to rip continents apart, to reshape the world into something better than anyone could ever imagine it to be, and keep it that way! Perhaps, that is the plan."
And please allow me just one more quotation on racism. This is SUCH a powerful one...taken from today's post on Baha'i Views:
"Racism, one of the most baneful and persistent evils, is a major barrier to peace. Its practice perpetrates too outrageous a violation of the dignity of human beings to be countenanced under any pretext. Racism retards the unfoldment of the boundless potentialities of its victims, corrupts its perpetrators, and blights human progress. Recognition of the oneness of mankind, implemented by appropriate legal measures, must be universally upheld if this problem is to be overcome… World order can be found only on an unshakable consciousness of the oneness of mankind, a spiritual truth which all the human sciences confirm. Anthropology, physiology, psychology, recognize only one human species, albeit infinitely varied in the secondary aspects of life. Recognition of this truth requires abandonment of prejudice – prejudice of every kind –race, class, color, creed, nation, sex, degrees of material civilization, everything which enables people to consider themselves superior to others.”(The Universal House of Justice, The Promise of World Peace, pp. 25-29)

Yes, the energy was so powerful it seemed like the floor and walls would just blast away. Yet, speaking with these men, I found them so gentle and soft-spoken. So courteous. It was a wonderful, powerful blend of attributes. I look forward to going again next year.

Child of Africa,

I have been terribly remiss in failing to follow through with Facebook. With your encouragement I will get busy. Now that Microsoft is on board as an investor, I have all the more reason to.
