I have always tried to verify the truth of news before I believe it or share it. In the last two years this has become much harder to do. I find sources expounding two extreme views, with nothing in between, and no references that can be verified. More and more articles spread division and hatred. I think the best thing is not to share any of these articles with others.

I would be inviting you to coffee and consultation on a regular basis. I’ve been aligned wih your feelings for over 30 years and pray that a greater number of Baha’is align with this spirit and enact it within the 19 Day Feast and cluster participation.

I believe a key missing factor in the Baha’i Communities has been most individual’s lack of acceptance of a unique personal mission in contributing to an ever advancing civilization. While on this Earth our bond with Baha’u’llah is conditioned on this contribution, especially in reference in contributing to the efficacy of His Administrative Order. Oh, to be a practical mystic in the World Order of Baha’u’llah!

Your writing is a breath of fresh air. We, Baha’is, need to deepen more in our scriptures lest we be deemed hypocrites.

There’s a lot of forces pulling us in different directions. And it’s hard to know how to respond. You’ve uncovered a great deal of wisdom from the Baha’i writings on the subject and made it relatable. Thanks for writing this.

As a relatively recent Baha’i, and someone who cares passionately about social justice and human rights, I’ve wondered about a lot of the questions you addressed (how involved to get and how to get involved). Thank you for the great advice and quotations from the writings!
