But I have come to the conclusion after almost 40 years of trying, that the Baha'i Faith itself has nothing whatsoever to do with the unfolding of the Spirit of the New World Age that spoke to the Spirit of Baha'u'llah. In fact, my observation is that the powers to advance the new civilization are being very steadily given to EVERYONE ELSE on Earth EXCEPT the Baha'is!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These seminal powers are bottom up and NOT top down! By not recognizing this the Baha'is have missed the boat by being trapped in their incestuous timid group think cult bubble. The Baha'is, therefore, are not players. In a world of totalitarian top down censorship by completely talentless people over the hearts and minds of others no individual creativity can flourish that can change the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Baha'i Faith, therefore, has no world class artists, novelists, screenwriters, journalists, cinematographers, dancers, choreographers, computer programmers, film producers, theater producers, economists, social thinkers, business people, or unconventional educators of any kind now.  It is completely dead in the water worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seals and Crofts and England Dan and John Fiord Coley were the last world class talents. Even they would be under 110% surveillance in the Orwellian Administrative Disorder of today. No creative people would ever join or stay in a religion like this as it is today because ruthless censorship is against the Spirit that God has made in this new World Age..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile everyone else in the arts and sciences of mankind are moving on making people think and ponder the deepest questions of existence.while the Baha'is smoke their insipid pre-approved answers Ruhi Books. What happened to us was absolutely disgraceful!. Oceans of real talent and ability was lost. But as Peter Khan said, no one at the top is shedding a tear. Unless people completely turn their hearts and minds over to the total control of the UHJ, they are not true Baha'is,and not wanted, and must leave.  The lifetime incumbent class owns the Faith as their private satrap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These controllers have completely disgraced themselves and their children and grandchildren for all future human history and are too spiritually unaware to realize it. The Tablet of Ahmad is about their mal-formed overreaching Souls and they cannot even see it inside their incestuous little Ruhi cult bubble.. The judgment of history will be fierce. The worldwide electorate are cowards. Nothing will ever change. So the powers of that Baha'u'llah brought are all going to other individual hearts and minds.and other spiritual communities worldwide that can act on the real issues facing mankind and actually DO SOMETHING USEFUL!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;True artists are out there working in the Spirit of the World Age while the Baha'is are achieving nothing whatsoever in the little timid cult they have made of something that once had such great human potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0WUpsErUBA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0WUpsErUBA"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watc...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes. In the Baha'i Faith of today any individual creative artist who knew their craft through great training and skill to try to inspire the World would be dismissively deemed an "enemy of God" full of "egotistical' "self and passion" who would in the end "sink in the depths" because they were not going door to door 24/7/365/1000 as the Jehovah's Witnesses of Shia Islam trying to convert people to take the Ruhi Courses so there can be a nice Power Point Pie Chart Graph for the lifetime incumbent elite in Haifa to keep them thinking they are doing something meaningful and useful to help the World. They aren't. It is all total delusion. The Faith has gone completely off the rails and will never get back on track. Like a dead fish, the rot starts at the head.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the Spirit of the World Age advances each day without the hapless Baha'is locked in their tiny, limited timid lock step bubble. People need to just arise and serve in the World itself! Not in their insipid "communities". Life ITSELF is "community" when you get out there involved and guided by Spirit!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Craig Parke</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:45:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: About</title><link>http://bahairants.com/about#comment-549756996</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;I'm a Baha'i - third generation iranian Baha'i in fact and while I agree with a lot of what you do say, you must remember that the Baha'i community is  in its infacy stages and has a long way to go in order to fully mature. Consider a parent, when they see their child learning to walk, would that parent yell at their child for stumbling or would they enjoy both the mistakes, challenges and finally the triumph the child experiences in learning to walk? You need to view this from a wholistic perspective. If we only see the negatives, then we are only hurting ourselves. If we see things from the perspective that no one is perfect and that we are all the creatures of the all knowing, all wise creator, and if we realise the need to acquire the virtues of patiences, steadfastness, perseverence, love, compassion, and sin covering eyes, we might actually start to change the very things we complain about in our Baha'i communities. Arise and serve and put your doubts aside for only through prayers, meditation on the writings and service can we free of ourselves of these worries that you seem to be troubled by. Anyways, this is just my thoughts - I hope they will help you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Forrestpoppy</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:05:24 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: About</title><link>http://bahairants.com/about#comment-468965310</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Baquia.
