I would agree with that observation. Your reply about thinning the veil, or removing some, brought to mind a "Hidden Word" of Baha'u'llah O SON OF MAN! Wert thou to speed through the immensity of space and traverse the expanse of heaven, yet thou wouldst find no rest save in submission to Our...

Thank you for the follow up otherbrother. What you have offered is a good way to see life, Accepting that it is all part of the package, part of our growth as a "spiritual being", the life yet to come. I tend towards relating and doing as being the most important, as being is the given gift of...

There is a lot on this topic in the Baha'i Writings, if you are interested I am happy to share more. I offer the following. The question asked in your post, "Could we get to know our individual spirit as a means of better connecting with God"? is to me the fundamental purpose of our existence...

Free speech needs boundaries. Moderation for those that have anarchy tendencies. Regards Tony

Yes it is, but the sun is rising and a brand new day is dawning. The Old world order will leave much destruction in its wake, as it is already doing across many lines of conflicts, dishonesty and predudices. Stay well, stay happy, stay safe. Regards Tony

I follow a religion of love, which sees God's love in all things. I will buy that snake oil, as love conquers all and we are one in that love. Regards Tony

I will give you a hug and ask what you feel about this comment when we meet in the other worlds of God. We will both then laugh, with great joy, at our utter ignorance of the extent of God's creation in our finite worldly mind. Regards Tony

The world of today is a collaping civilization, you live in the example you ask about. It is when the Morals, Virtues and laws, given by God are ignored in preference to self defined morals and virtues. These lesser standards start the decline into the inevitable collapse of civilization...

Good morning Yahweh kid, I hope all is well and happy. There is only One God. My God is the God we all can submit to. The God of many Names that will become One. That Name was to made known in a distant future. Isaiah 62:2 The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you...

Yes, as the material worlds are all part of a cyclic renewal and religion part of this world. Faiths are born (Spring), grow and mature (Summer), start to decline (Autumn) and then decay from the original (Winter) There are many great YouTube videos where people who are not Baha'is offer this...

Fullly agree we live in our own relative reality, a reality we each share with all humanity. I think the universe is showing us we can be the better version of self, it becomes self evident that good will always win over evil intent. (I personally see humanity as more than earth bound souls...

Jesus invited us to follow him to be true representatives of a moral and virtuous life, and I see this is what we are now learning. Unfortunately humanity always seems to have to reach rock bottom, before they finally see that our true potential is based in Love,virtues and morality. The life...

This is the self we have to find. This love finds no hate, it finds opportunities for improvement, this self acknowledges what is right between what is wrong, it transcends the animal, we choose forgiveness over retribution, we choose honesty over dishonesty, we choose righteousness over...

This is because the journey of this life is not about self. There are certain aspects where we need to be self serving, but this is only in order to be a servant to all humanity, starting with family, friends and community. The act of being selfless, in serving all others in virtue and moral...

The escape is a birth. When the foetus has reached full term, it can no longer stay in the matrix it was formed in. To try to remain, is certain death, this is ancient wisdom, one such example. Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for...
