Arthra, thank you so much for your newest post. That clears a lot of things up for me concerning this particular issue. Let me clarify my position about the Momon missionaries. I NEVER intended for them to convert either me or my children. I only wanted to have the opportunity to have a...

All in all, yes, that's all that matters. However, the issue at hand (for me) is trying to figure out how to impart the tenants of my faith to the point that they can make an informed decision. And I'm trying to figure out how to communicate with teenagers! I don't want them to make...

Actually, 17th Angel, it took me several years before I told my parents that I became a Baha'i because I was fearful of their reaction. I was raised in a Christian Science household, but we weren't very religions; when my father started to commute to San Francisco on the weekends for his PhD in...

Well, gee, Arthra! I go and type up a long reply letter and come back to find you've gone and posted, too! And I have to key in another reply! ;) You've pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as how I'm feeling goes. I won't say that I haven't been instilling Baha'i virtues in a round...

Loving Greetings to All! Firstly, let me say thank you to everyone who has responded to my post. I understand these are public forums and that anyone of any faith/religion/belief system/philosophy may reply. So, I expected to get a variety of replies. (In other words, Brian, please...

Greetings! Let me give a quick introduction; my name is Dana (will happily go by Starrfyre here in the forums) and I've been a Baha'i for 19 years. Initially, I was very active in the Faith, but my participation has waxed and waned throughout the years. I've gone from being a member of an...

Ahanu, thanks for the greeting. I like it here. :) I also liked your one word. I guess you could say that understanding leads to unity. Just a thought. Allah'u'Abha!

The word that immediatly popped into my head was "Unity" as well.

Thanks; I'm enjoying reading the forums! :)

This is an incredible story! Kamalabadi's experience puts me in mind of the time Baha'u'llah spent in The Pit and received his Revelation from God. Please don't think that I'm saying that she recieved a Revelation such as Baha'u'llah, only that she was able to find a measure of solice in God...

Thanks for the reply Arthra, just an FYI, I'm a Bahai'i as well (I must admit that I've been rather distant from the Faith for a long time and I'm feeling the loss.), and just within the last few nights have started to say my 95 Allah'u'Abhas just prior to sleep. I was taught the knuckle...

Yes, but how does one meditate? I've heard many different sources uplift meditation, and each will tell you it's methodology is as individual as the individual, but I've not had any real good guidelines. I myself have a very difficult time with meditation; when I try, all the little voices in...
