Truthseeker's Credits
I owe the bulk of the thinking in these articles to the writings of the Baha'i Faith. However, my words do not represent or bear the stamp or approval of the Baha'i Faith as a whole. The sharings herein are my own small awakenings of a much greater Teaching that appears far beyond any conception of my own.
Regrets Gratitudes, and a Question
Teachings: A Gift to the World
All good ideas, have inevitably become the property of the masses. But the Source of them is from the Creative Spirit, with their clearest origin (according to scripture) from that Pure Mouthpiece of the Higher Power who shares freely without limit or qualification.This is what I see, and that things cannot be otherwise. It has always been so, for humanity to progress from ignorance into light...
In thus case the Origin or Source of these healing Teachings is the words of Baha'u'llah.
How does Spirit do it?
With Kind Humility
If these were my works alone, I couldn't-- I wouldn't -- share out these fabulous ideas to have them essentially "stolen", with my name being taken off as they are diisseminated and integrated into popular culture and re-invented under new names by unrelated, often hostile groups for their own purposes.
Centurion Origins & Today's Experience
When Baha'u'llah first spoke these teachings, they were nearly unthinkable, even shocking, in mid-century 1800. For this reason, He, like the Prophets of old, was persecuted and rejected. Even to this day, these ideas are still largely unsung. But they are beginning to catch hold, and he measure of a good idea versus a great one is the survival of the ages. Something that captivates the minds of the masses even centuries later, for me, can be nothing short of Divine.
I discovered these teachings in the wake of the 60's and '70's. In 1980, among others, I set out to share these new understandings: that we were all part of "One religion" and "One Spirit" whose Agents (the Prorhets fo the Faiths) brought "chapters in the same Book" of God. Living on one planet where we are all part of the "One Family" of humanity, these concepts, known to Baha'i's as "the Three Onenesses", were coupled with other principles, that are now widely known and championed among the people. There are even a few new religions who now proclaim these as among their teachings. But the name of Baha'i is not taught along with them. To me, this leaves the biggest Piece Missing!
But yet, looking at the Whole picture, there's no other way. Because if you put the Baha'u'llah's name up front, many ofthe people feel afraid & run away. So they cannot receive the Healing Teachings. Well, freely given as the Spirit does-- Freely is as Freely does.
& Blessed Be!
Isn't the HIgher Power Oh so kind??!
