Angels, fore and aft

Month, Day: 182, Names, Names (Justice) 

Koran, Kaf: 

We created man: and we know what his soul whispereth to him, and we are closer to him than his neck-vein.

When the two angels charged with taking account shall take it, one sitting on the right hand, the other on the left:

Not a word doth he utter, but there is a watcher with him ready to note it down:

And the stupor of certain death cometh upon him: "This is what thou wouldst have shunned"--

And there shall be a blast on the trumpet,--it is the threatened day!

And every soul shall come,--an angel with it urging it along, and an angel to witness against it 5--

Archetypal 2

Month, Day: 182, Perfection, Might (Glory) 

Further on an archetypal notion: 

These journeys have no visible ending in the world of time, but the severed wayfarer—if invisible confirmation descend upon him and the Guardian of the Cause assist him—may cross these seven stages in seven steps, nay rather in seven breaths, nay rather in a single breath, if God will and desire it. And this is of “His grace on such of His servants as He pleaseth.” 12

the Fashioner

Month, Day: 182, Mercy, Honour (Grace) 

Lawḥ-i-Ḥikmat (Tablet of Wisdom):

Beware, O My loved ones, lest ye despise the merits of My learned servants whom God hath graciously chosen to be the exponents of His Name “the Fashioner” amidst mankind. Exert your utmost endeavor that ye may develop such crafts and undertakings that everyone, whether young or old, may benefit therefrom. We are quit of those ignorant ones who fondly imagine that Wisdom is to give vent to one’s idle imaginings and to repudiate God, the Lord of all men; even as We hear some of the heedless voicing such assertions today.

Eyes of the East

Month, Day: 182, Mercy, Speech (Beauty) 

Lawḥ-i-Ḥikmat (Tablet of Wisdom):

When the eyes of the people of the East were captivated by the arts and wonders of the West, they roved distraught in the wilderness of material causes, oblivious of the One Who is the Causer of Causes, and the Sustainer thereof, while such men as were the source and the wellspring of Wisdom never denied the moving Impulse behind these causes, nor the Creator or the Origin thereof. Thy Lord knoweth, yet most of the people know not.

Light, repeat

Month, Day: 182, Grandeur, Sovereignty (Beauty) 

This is a repeat from 3 May 2022 because the Month of Light is right around the corner. 

The World Order of Baha'u'llah: 

... when .., the light of religion is quenched in men’s hearts, and the divinely appointed Robe, designed to adorn the human temple, is deliberately discarded, a deplorable decline in the fortunes of humanity immediately sets in, bringing in its wake all the evils which a wayward soul is capable of revealing. The perversion of human nature, the degradation of human conduct, the corruption and dissolution of human institutions, reveal themselves, under such circumstances, in their worst and most revolting aspects.

Human character is debased,
confidence is shaken,
the nerves of discipline are relaxed,
the voice of human conscience is stilled,
the sense of decency and shame is obscured,
conceptions of duty, of solidarity, of reciprocity and loyalty are distorted, and
the very feeling of peacefulness, of joy and of hope is gradually extinguished. 

Quoting from WOofB by the Guardian, like before. So, truth engineering is a subject to consider.
