Reflections-on-transformation: November 2011
http://reflections-on-transformation.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. The second of the three spiritual prerequisites for the success of all Bahá’í undertakings is that “of a chaste and holy life”, "with its implications of modesty, purity, temperance, decency, and clean-mindedness". We are summoned to a life unsullied "by the indecencies, the vices, the false standards, which an inherently deficient moral code tolerates, perpetuates, and fosters,” [Shoghi Effendi, Advent of Divine Justice. In older times, say in a small community setting such as...

Reflections-on-transformation: Beyond dichotomy
http://reflections-on-transformation.blogspot.com/2012/08/beyond-dichotomy.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2012. What are the characteristics of this “more mature understanding”? What lies beyond this dichotomy? Some communities may understand that if there is no dichotomy, then it means that they can do either, and both are equally acceptable. Further reflection makes it clear that this is not the case. Let us start with what was the common conception of a central school. We can examine some of its features and transform each of these characteristics in light of our new learning. Now le...

http://reflections-on-transformation.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. There are tendencies, as well, that need to be gradually overcome. Many of these tendencies are reinforced by approaches prevalent in society at large, which, not altogether unreasonably, enter into Baha'i activity.”. Which describes in some details these salutary habits and analyzes the associated three tendencies to be overcome. That "The reality of man is his thought. Not his material body. The thought. Superior to all other created beings.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reflections-on-transformation: Selfless Service
http://reflections-on-transformation.blogspot.com/2013/04/selfless-service.html
Friday, April 5, 2013. Just last night we were studying this passage in a study circle in our home. What does it mean to say that efforts that sincerely seek to release the potential of youth suffer from negative influences of a materialistic culture that is individualistic at its core? The point of this blog is not simply the vague and pious hope that we should be selfless, but that the society should be redesigned in such a way as to avoid those programs and constructs that promote ego and replace them...

Tuesday, June 12, 2012. The week of June 11. 2012 is a historic week in the USA. The Bahá’í community has grown in many aspects. Up until now the continental US was divided into six regions. But each region is now so large in the number of members and activities, in the number of active agents of change, and in scope and diversity of activities and circumstances that new arrangements are called for.

Reflections-on-transformation: Softening a hardened clay
http://reflections-on-transformation.blogspot.com/2012/05/softening-hardened-clay.html
Monday, May 7, 2012. Softening a hardened clay. Recently I participated as a visitor in the annual National Convention in USA, held at the Mother Temple of the West. As it is customary the convention began by reading of, and then reflection upon, the Ridvan message from the Universal House of Justice. But this year there was a particular sense that we were on sacred grounds at a sacred time. The very spot on which we had gathered has been mentioned in this Ridvan message. Who is it that can dismay you?
