Question #68

Month, Day: 167, Questions, Speech (Glory)
Month, Day: 167, Questions, Questions (Beauty)

From The Most Holy Book's Questions section, #68 says it all: QUESTION: Concerning the sacred verse: “Recite ye the verses of God every morn and eventide.” ANSWER: The intention is all that hath been sent down from the Heaven of Divine Utterance. The prime requisite is the eagerness and love of sanctified souls to read the Word of God. To read one verse, or even one word, in a spirit of joy and radiance, is preferable to the perusal of many Books.

Emphasis is mine, of course. However, these influences are measurable; yes, just as we get a yearly dose, we can have a daily one, to boot. Is that not the motivation for the Operational? Too, that intuition was thrown out by the brights, except for that part in which they excel (to the detriment of the many), needs to be re-addressed from a more full position. Which is? Determining that is the basic impetus behind audacity.

Remarks:

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.

05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.

03/17/2011 -- Just as St. Patrick carried the message, so too ought we act to bring forth a proper viewpoint.

More Questions

Month, Day: 167, Questions, Names (Justice)

Continuing with the theme of the prior post, it is interesting that the winter solstice occurs during the month of Questions and falls within the span of the Perfection and Names days which is a transition from Teleological to Operational.

Within The Most Holy Book, we have a Questions section suggesting the importance of being able to ask.

The depths

Month, Day: 167, Questions, Perfection (Grace)

Enshrined in the calendar is that Questions are foundationally the basis for science. We're at the depths, now going into using the last part of the yearly measure until we get another dose with the start of 168. While doing so, we'll go Motivational, Ascendant, and then Transcendent.

True wealth

Month, Day: 167, Speech, Loftiness (Glory)
Month, Day: 167, Questions, Splendour (Beauty)

As we run through the middle of the Motivational group, it might be nice to consider the following (formatting is mine), within the context of the economic games that stress maximization of one's own wealth by efforts aimed toward the minimization of the wealth of all others.

SAQ #15: Then it is clear that the honor and exaltation of man must be something more than material riches. Material comforts are only a branch, but the root of the exaltation of man is the good attributes and virtues which are the adornments of his reality. These are the

• divine appearances,
  
• the heavenly bounties,
  
• the sublime emotions,
  
• the love and knowledge of God;
  
• universal wisdom,
  
• intellectual perception,
  
• scientific discoveries,
  
• justice,
  
• equity,
  
• truthfulness,
  
• benevolence,
  
• natural courage and innate fortitude;
  
• the respect for rights and the keeping of agreements and covenants;
  
• rectitude in all circumstances;
  
• serving the truth under all conditions;
  
• the sacrifice of one’s life for the good of all people;
  
• kindness and esteem for all nations;
  
• obedience to the teachings of God;
  
• service in the Divine Kingdom;
  
• the guidance of the people, and
  
• the education of the nations and races.

This is offered in the context of the continuing look at what the Keys bring to bear. We'll have to pause on the reflections and in order to look at a sweep of history up to the modern age.

Maitreya, et al

Month, Day: 167, Speech, Power (Beauty)
Month, Day: 167, Speech, Speech (Beauty)

Many continue to anticipate the Maitreya. A New Yorker article describes how one soul has been offered this burden, without looking for it. According to the list in the NYer article, many have claimed this role or that of the Messiah.

Though some question the role and its existence, there have been many. This time of the year celebrates the birth of an earlier Messiah. We have similar occurrences throughout the year.

So, what is the theme (motivation) here? There must be some understanding of the Prophet's Role that is within our grasp and that is inherently human (return?). This trait may very well relate to one's ability for acceptance of the Message.

Coming up next in the Motivational group will be Questions (12/12). One goal may be to ask such as to divert away from the delusional tag so that the importance of this notion to science can be discussed in a more sane fashion than we have seen to date. Would not such be the expected result if the message were true?

Remarks:

04/04/2011 -- We'll be looking at things like foreknowledge.

12/05/2010 -- Need to add that, for some views, the cycles ended. This site will be used for the main Islamic information source, for awhile.
