Unenrolled Baha'i: August 2009
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Monday, August 17, 2009. Deeds, Not Words? I happened to be reading Persian Hidden Words #5 today, which contains the much-quoted admonition "Let deeds, not words, be your adorning." It's clear why everyone, not matter what their take on the Baha'i Writings, has this one as a favorite. Of course, one should "walk the walk", rather than just "talk the talk". There's really nothing to contextualize, puzzle out, discuss, or argue about. Sunday, August 9, 2009. With al...

Unenrolled Baha'i: Piercing Heaven
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008/11/piercing-heaven.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Thursday, November 13, 2008. Make me a good teacher today. Let me give the children what they need." Then, I'll add a couple of names of God, just like you find at the end of Baha'i written prayers. That's not entirely a selfless prayer, by the way - obviously, if I do well in my job it benefits me as well as the children I teach. Let me show compassion to everyone who crosses my path." It's simple, to the point, and what more do I need to say? Follow me on Twitter.

Unenrolled Baha'i: Ask: Does it help?
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2009/08/ask-does-it-help.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Sunday, August 9, 2009. Ask: Does it help? Something that at one time would have had me blogging in outrage and disgust. For me, the question "Do you believe that Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God for this Day? Had become rather like the question "Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? A better question would be "Do you love Baha'u'llah? And there, I could give you an unqualified "Yes". Not a day goes by that I don't read his Writings; it's a part o...

Unenrolled Baha'i: April 2008
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Sunday, April 27, 2008. White Knuckles and Transformation. I recently read of someone who said of the spiritual path "I keep falling off the steed in the Valley of Search". O.K. kids, pop quiz: What is the name of that steed? I don't think we can get very far with a grim determination to do "better" - certainly not to be perfect. I think part of spiritual development is the ability to look honestly at our weaknesses, trying to understand the causes, and at time...

Unenrolled Baha'i: March 2009
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Ten Years of Being An Unenrolled Baha'i. But I could not abandon Baha'u'llah. To this day, I recite His Writings, meditate on His name, perform His prayers, and count myself His follower. Postive things about my leaving, and being in Baha'i cyberspace:. I learned so much! I got to associate with Baha'is more intelligent, knowledgeable, and creative than I ever knew existed. A whole new world opened up for me. I like myself better, without t...

Unenrolled Baha'i: May 2008
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Thursday, May 1, 2008. Intone My Servant - The City of Immortality. I have spent the last month reading Gems of the Mysteries. And am close to the end. This morning's reading was from "The City of Immortality": In this instance, I actually prefer the official translation:. Who among us doesn't think "Well, I've done really well at that, unlike those other guys who are really messing up big time"? This journey is entirely internal, what we end up getting to know is ...

Unenrolled Baha'i: August 2008
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Thursday, August 7, 2008. I've just finished reading "Restless Souls: The Making of American Spirituality" by Leigh Eric Schmidt, and I thought it would be relevant for unenrolled Baha'is to know that independent spirituality is not just some fly-by-night thing that the Baby Boomers invented, but has a long history of its own, dating back to the 1830s. And, Baha'is are very much a part of that history. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Unenrolled Baha'i: March 2008
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Monday, March 31, 2008. I ran across this while cruising through the blogosphere. It's from Columbian singer Leonor Dely. Every once in while the idea comes up of doing an online mashriq - I've even had a couple on my Unenrolled Baha'i. List, although they tend to be hard to pull together. Something like this video would be great for an online devotional. Friday, March 28, 2008. Prayers and Prayer Beads. Kimberly Winston has a website. For a while the verse from th...
