There Is Nothing To Support The Contentions And Prejudices Deranging The Religious Communities Of Humankind

If humanity has come to a point of paralyzing conflict it must look to itself, to its own negligence, to the siren voices to which it has listened, for the source of the misunderstandings and confusion perpetrated in the name of religion. Those who have held blindly and selfishly to their particular orthodoxies, who have imposed on their followers erroneous and conflicting interpretations of the pronouncements of their particular Spiritual Teachers, bear heavy… Continue

To Choose World Peace Is Not To Deny Humanity's Past But To Understand It

To choose the path of World Peace is not to deny humanity’s past but to understand it. The current world confusion and calamitous condition in human affairs is a natural phase in an organic process leading ultimately and irresistibly to the unification of the human race in a single social order whose boundaries are those of the planet. The human race, as a distinct, organic unit, has passed through evolutionary stages analogous… Continue

The Strife That Divides And Afflicts The Human Race Is Daily Increasing-World Peace An Imperative, Not An Option

“The winds of despair”, the Ancient of Days wrote, “are, alas, blowing from every direction, and the strife that divides and afflicts the human race is daily increasing. The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, inasmuch as the prevailing order appears to be lamentably defective.” This prophetic judgement has been amply confirmed by the common experience of humanity. Flaws in the prevailing order are conspicuous in the inability of… Continue

Favorable Signs Leading Toward World Peace

Among the favourable signs are the steadily growing strength of the steps towards World Peace taken initially near the beginning of the last century in the creation of the League of Nations, succeeded by the more broadly based United Nations Organization; the achievement since the Second World War of independence by the majority of all the nations on earth, indicating the completion of the process of nation building, and the involvement of these fledgling nations with older ones in matters of… Continue

Religious Fanaticism Is A Clear Sign Of Spiritual Bankruptcy

The resurgence of fanatical religious fervour occurring in many lands cannot be regarded as more than a dying convulsion. The very nature of the violent and disruptive conditions associated with it testifies to the spiritual bankruptcy it represents. Indeed, one of the strangest and saddest features of the current outbreak of religious fanaticism is the extent to which, in each case, it is undermining not only the spiritual values which are conducive to the… Continue

Massive Fish Kill Found In Louisiana

What you see above isn't a rural gravel road. It's a Louisiana waterway, its surface completely covered with dead sea life -- a mishmash of species of fish, crabs, stingray and eel. New Orleans…

Humanity's Coming of Age-The Time We Live In

Humanity’s Coming of Age

The Revelation of the Ancient of Days, whose supreme mission is none other but the achievement of the organic and spiritual unity of the whole body of nations, should, if we be faithful to its implications, be regarded as signalizing, through its advent, the coming of age of the entire human race. This stage…

The Arrogance of Ignorance: Hidden Away, Out of Sight and Out of Mind

By Stephanie M. Schwartz

This is an article of facts about the lives of modern-day American Indians, a topic most mainstream American news organizations will not discuss. It is not a plea for charity. It is not a promotion for non-profit organizations. It is not aimed for…

Four World's New Platform for Deep Social Networks - Trunity.net

Beloved Friends and Relatives,

Our warm and loving greetings to you and beloved ones.

As most of you know, NING's announcement in April, that they will no longer provide free websites, means the elimination of many of the young peoples' DSN's across Southeast Asia and the same fate for other similar digital initiatives globally. The capacity to build web sites… Continue

Bold financial Visionaries Look To Models Rather Than The Herd

Beloved Friends and Relatives,

Looking back at the last 50-75 years is inadequate--looking back over the long term--at least 250 years (Seven Generations) is critical--but the information is limited. Today's news is probably not what is ultimately moving the market or the economy.…

Let There Be Markets: The Evangelical Roots of Economics !

I try to re-read this article every year. It is long and uses a lot of terms that I am not familiar with, but it makes more sense every time I read it! I hope you find the time to read it too. The history of lazziez fare capitalism a/k/a neoliberalism a/k/a darwinian capitalism and it's modern incarnation "libertarianism" all spring from a common root. This article explains those roots and what the world was like when these ideologies held sway.… Continue

Billionaires giving away half their wealth

"...in the divine teachings equality is brought about through a ready willingness to share. It is commanded as regards wealth that the rich among the people, and the aristocrats should, by their own free will and for the sake of their own happiness, concern themselves with and care for the poor. This equality is the result of the lofty characteristics and noble attributes of mankind." ~'Abdu'l-Bahá, from Foundations of World Unity, 1911-1912…
