Month, Day: 166, Honour, Splendour (Majesty)
We're now to the last of the Motivationals. As we head to the Ascendants, with the New Year looming (167), we will use the reality of the Manifestation as a major theme for discussion. This has to do with more than audacity. It's core.
Lets start with a couple of quotes from the SAQ, mainly to carry on Questions.
As mentioned before, the first part covers the influence of the Prophets in the evolution of humanity. Allowing this notion is a big step. The third part considers attributes of the Manifestations of God. The fourth part looks at man's details.
Now, given an acceptance of the first part as a basis, then the details, as they are covered in the subsequent parts, follow and ought to have relevance to true science.
SAQ #37: But for this Essence of the essences, this Truth of truths, this Mystery of mysteries, there are reflections, auroras, appearances and resplendencies in the world of existence. The dawning-place of these splendors, the place of these reflections, and the appearance of these manifestations are the Holy Dawning-places, the Universal Realities and the Divine Beings, Who are the true mirrors of the sanctified Essence of God. All the perfections, the bounties, the splendors which come from God are visible and evident in the Reality of the Holy Manifestations, like the sun which is resplendent in a clear polished mirror with all its perfections and bounties.
SAQ #51: All beings, whether large or small, were created perfect and complete from the first, but their perfections appear in them by degrees. The organization of God is one; the evolution of existence is one; the divine system is one.
It is obvious that some type of 'supernatural' appendage (it can be minimal - our task, to determine this) is required for science to take the next step. Otherwise, it mainly revolves around the pit of materialism and hollows our the human core. The manner in which this will play out is unknown, is feared, but is necessary. Let's take some time to develop the proper view, or at least define what is needed, from First Principles.
One of those is this.
SAQ #78: The tent of existence is upheld upon the pillar of justice and not upon forgiveness. The continuance of mankind depends upon justice and not upon forgiveness.
So, work is a key issue, with all sorts of implications.

Questions and more
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Honour (Beauty)
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Sovereignty (Perfection)
Questions never end and recur with several patterns. Too, with Questions, we have the basis for our knowledge and science. Now that we're on the Ascendant side toward Honour, we ought to consider a basis for audacity.
This will take some time, but let's consider the importance of Some Answered Questions (SAQ). Notice the topics covered in the Contents. The first section deals with the influence of the Manifestation (SAQ #1) on human progress. What is a Manifestation? How comes the influence?
The first question invokes the Twin duties, yet there is an operational theme involved, to boot. That second question will take longer to answer as it is a motivation for audacity. Not that the first is easy.
However, looking at the first question, for now, we can dispatch it in part by referencing the Attributes which is an uncountable set. Yet, we were given the nineteen recurring for some reason leading to thoughts like Transcendence and Ascendant.
Given that we can juxtapose, despite arguments by the Brights, what comes up in this context will be delusion and futility. You see, those of the denial side will apply the delusional label for any beyond an extremely limited operational viewpoint where those of certain neuropeptidergic and cellular traits reign with help from their ever-growing artifacts that are based both in thought and matter.
For those who do understand or comprehend (see below), we see from Search that it's endless, in fact, the 4th implies a certain type of imposed limitation. Yet, it's not futile as we are always encouraged to seek (Questions, of course! Too, acts over words).
Aqdas #186: Say: This is the Dayspring of Divine knowledge, if ye be of them that understand, and the Dawning-place of God’s commandments, if ye be of those who comprehend.
Ultimately, and soon, we'll have a collection of thoughts of the Manifestation's life and purpose. We can start with Abraham (Knowledge) and Moses (Veiled from this was Moses). Then, we will look at some existential issues related to the theme.

Consistency
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Questions (Glory)
Some of the brights look to maintain multivalued positions which might be one factor leading toward relativism. Or, it could be that this technique dampens the advent of those things that weaken consistency. After all, it seems to help maintain positions that are not as supportable as they seem, at this time.
So, it can be interesting to hold juxtaposed positions when considering audacity's methods which can allow some type of polarity assessment. Such as, on the matter of degrees of talent, and station, there are many things to consider.
For instance, there is the principle of respecting the law (various things to discuss here) and others. Too, we know that all types of roles are necessary for a sustainable civilization; some of these roles may receive more favorable attention than others. Yet, all are deserving of respect, especially in the context of work being worship.
In the scheme of things, though, there is the 'king' role albeit that those in a representative type of society may wonder who fits in there. As an aside, one may remark that the modern CEO is not unlike, many times, some of those who may have been aristocratic by birth. Other examples could apply.
But, consider the following.
Aqdas #84: How great the blessedness that awaiteth the king who will arise to aid My Cause in My kingdom, who will detach himself from all else but Me! Such a king is numbered with the companions of the Crimson Ark—the Ark which God hath prepared for the people of Bahá. All must glorify his name, must reverence his station, and aid him to unlock the cities with the keys of My Name, the omnipotent Protector of all that inhabit the visible and invisible kingdoms.
Aqdas #189: We have appointed two signs for the coming of age of the human race: the first, which is the most firm foundation, We have set down in other of Our Tablets, while the second hath been revealed in this wondrous Book. ... Notes #194: One of the signs of the maturity of the world is that no one will accept to bear the weight of kingship. Kingship will remain with none willing to bear alone its weight. That day will be the day whereon wisdom will be manifested among mankind.
So, we see the role, its necessity, the myriad ways that it may be played, the potential rewards of having the role, and more. Also, we know that it's not something to pursue, meaning, of course, that actual pursuit most likely would encompass problematic themes and events (too many examples throughout history to mention here).
Yet, that necessity has no possibility of diminishing to zero any time soon. That is, the role will be played. If it were always political in context, then the dilemma may less somewhat. But, it is not, therefore consideration, and discussion, is apropos.
And, not in any way being glib or disrespectful, a question has to be asked: does a role on the UHJ imply a sort of collective kingship or any type of epitome for the human existence? That is, ought that be the goal of a Baha'i.
Well, actually, we know that half of the population is not included in the mix which fact ought to help determine the answer. Yet, the answer also has to look at the autodidact's position as it may apply to independent investigation of the truth.
Remarks:
12/22/2011 -- We will need to get back to the brights (Christopher, et al).
12/27/2009 -- There are lessons to learn from the SAQ.

Chords
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Knowledge (Justice)
Chords have been mentioned several times: Twin duties, Operational II, 7 Valleys.
This fifth day in sense of sevenths, namely Light/Knowledge/Loftiness, implies a whole lot.
Note that this chord hits three of the Groups: Teleological, Operational, and Ascendant.

With Questions, we're into the final of the sevenths for the year, going toward the Ascendants, which are a precursor to the New Year.
Remarks:
08/08/2013 -- Perfection/Perfection.
02/24/2010 -- Ascendant to Transcendent.

Sevenths
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Might (Perfection)
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Will (Grace)
As well as the Groups, we have been given 'seven', in various ways. We see this every month as the weeks unfold.
Aqdas #181: The world’s equilibrium hath been upset through the vibrating influence of this most great, this new World Order. Mankind’s ordered life hath been revolutionized through the agency of this unique, this wondrous System—the like of which mortal eyes have never witnessed.
SAQ #51: All beings, whether large or small, were created perfect and complete from the first, but their perfections appear in them by degrees.
The first needs to be looked at for its contribution to Questions. The second? How we ought to view evolution?
Remarks:
12/22/2009 -- In music, of course, we see the octave and others.

Science as gift
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Light (Justice)
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Mercy (Majesty)
Aqdas #142: Verily, He revealed certain laws so that, in this Dispensation, the Pen of the Most High might have no need to move in aught but the glorification of His own transcendent Station and His most effulgent Beauty. Since, however, We have wished to evidence Our bounty unto you, We have, through the power of truth, set forth these laws with clarity and mitigated what We desire you to observe.
In other words, we have Transcendence, as we see with the first Group. Then, with Mercy (Teleological), we are allowed clarification, even through Questions, in many forms.
As we saw last time, we have science as a gift. One has (ought) to consider what is missing given the normal modes that are so limiting. Of course, when will those questions, implied by audacity, come to fore as deserving of attention?
FWU/Science: ... Science is the first emanation from God toward man. ... We have already stated that science or the attribute of scientific penetration is supernatural and that all other blessings of God are within the boundary of nature. ... Notwithstanding the gift of this supernatural power, it is most amazing that materialists still consider themselves within the bounds and captivity of nature. ...
We're 3/4ths into the Motivational.
Remarks:
09/17/2010 -- God's gift of science.

Anticipating Questions
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Loftiness (Independence)
Month, Day: 166, Questions, Splendour (Glory)
SAQ #34: While the religion of God is the promoter of truth, the founder of science and knowledge, it is full of goodwill for learned men; it is the civilizer of mankind, the discoverer of the secrets of nature, and the enlightener of the horizons of the world.
So much to ask. And, various ways to do so. The theme of the month.
One thing to look at, autodidact'dly in pursuit of audacity, concerns a basis that has found little western sympathy.

But, of course
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Speech (Beauty)
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Questions (Perfection)
Before Questions, the basis of science, we would have praise and prayer.
Aqdas #31: Then, with radiance and joy, celebrate therein the praise of your Lord, the Most Compassionate. Verily, by His remembrance the eye is cheered and the heart is filled with light.
Aqdas #12: It hath been ordained that obligatory prayer is to be performed by each of you individually.
SAQ #62: Therefore, children, in return for this care and trouble, must show forth charity and beneficence, and must implore pardon and forgiveness for their parents.
Without Speech, what would we not have?
----
There are very many references that could be used.
One particular prayer says this: ... they may busy themselves at the Threshold of Thy oneness with servitude and worship, with salutation, adoration and praise. “I have not created spirits and men, but that they should worship me.”
The Motivational would deal with goals. How to be independent, yet world embracing in the proper mode, meaning non-hubris-tic?
This time of the year is definitely a time to consider the yearly measure. We're in the 14th month of 19. Looking forward, we have Questions and Honour prior to the time of the Ascendant, especially Loftiness.
---
We can remind ourselves about this.
But, some type of association with 'being' as it involves Creation must be describable via mathematics, as we see with operational effectiveness, even though none of the Writings can be said to be so formal (but, embedded are metaphors, etc.).

We can remind ourselves about this.
- The Valley of Contentment: The tongue faileth in describing these three Valleys, and speech falleth short. The pen steppeth not into this region, the ink leaveth only a blot. In these planes, the nightingale of the heart hath other songs and secrets, which make the heart to stir and the soul to clamor, but this mystery of inner meaning may be whispered only from heart to heart, confided only from breast to breast.
- The Third Valley: The denizens of this plane speak no words—but they gallop their chargers. They see but the inner reality of the Beloved. To them all words of sense are meaningless, and senseless words are full of meaning.
But, some type of association with 'being' as it involves Creation must be describable via mathematics, as we see with operational effectiveness, even though none of the Writings can be said to be so formal (but, embedded are metaphors, etc.).

Utterance
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Might (Justice)
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Will (Majesty)
Of course, in the cycles, we have Speech before Questions.
So far not much here, yet, about the mystery of utterance. Aqdas #6: When ye desire to perform this prayer, turn ye towards the Court of My Most Holy Presence, this Hallowed Spot that God hath made the Centre round which circle the Concourse on High, and which He hath decreed to be the Point of Adoration for the denizens of the Cities of Eternity, and the Source of Command unto all that are in heaven and on earth; and when the Sun of Truth and Utterance shall set, turn your faces towards the Spot that We have ordained for you.
Now, some comments are motivated. The 'Centre' reminds one of return and moments, especially thoughts about internment restrictions. How significant in content is a hour's sweep?
The power of utterance suggests psychetheral dynamics (to be discussed).
---
Need to look at a couple of influences that can be observed, and tested. One is related to motor activity, somewhat like a congruent event, which can be of a locality or even imparted via the big screen. There is some power to that medium.
As mentioned before, music is a power, especially that with lyrics. Just too many examples can be shown for this to be scoffed at.
Another effect is of the imagination, which can be with or without a corresponding motor response, yet of some type of visceral importance.
In a sense, the imposition of a teacher's knowledge'd state onto the good student is something that needs more analysis. Some, on the learning side, say that it is an internalization of a lesson. Perhaps, the second of the twin duties manifests itself similarly.
Remarks:
12/06/2009 -- The Motivational implies goals and actions.
