What is the meaning and/or significance of The Four Valleys?
|
| |
I've read The Seven Valleys (English, Gail) hundreds of times over 30 years, and save one paragraph haven't found anything new or novel (in the sense of not already documented, already known and described by a myriad of lesser authors). The Four Valleys is entirely opaque to me. Reading The Seven Valleys as youth I realized the places it was... more »

Does this mean what I think it does?
|

The news group is down so nothing is being posted. What you found doesnt mean much, just what Mr, Dempsey thought after he cam e home from a life of distinguished service in pioneering posts and didnt get the respect he thought was merited. He is generalizing or stereotyping all Americans as being a... more »

I have been researching the Baha'i Writings for quotes relevant to the following proposition - > Man's civilizations are caused and advanced by reactions to revelations from God both > indirectly and directly.

Manifestations of God
|
| |
On another thread Doug asked about the definition and explantion of Manifestations of God.

According to the Baha'i Writings, the Manifestations of God are the... more »

Sneers!
|
| |
I found this on Iran Press Watch: "In the West, such a level of commitment to a religion normally inspires either the dismissal one might give to a fanatic, or a shudder as one worries about how many lives this person intends to take with him. Sacrifice for the sake of religion has come so far from its roots that rather than inspiring admiration, it evokes sneers... more »

Another question about "hell"
|
| |
Hi. I saw this quote: "The people of Bahá, who are the inmates of the Ark of God, are, one and all, well aware of one another’s state and condition, and are united in the bonds of intimacy and fellowship.

Questions for the Next Manifestation
|
| |
Just for fun, what questions would you ask the Next Manifestation? I would ask about our evolution as a species, and more about the Creation of the universe. How are we different from all the other creatures on this planet? Does God really need us? and why? (I do think there is a lot about these subjects in the Writings, but, I am greedy and want easy... more »
