Magdalene

Month, Day: 169, Mercy, Grandeur (Justice)

We have a few more months that relate to the 1912 visit. There has been much printed, with one site providing a wonderful set of links.

For now, here are some links containing important material.

• Juliet's entry for 06/23/1912" “There was one name,” the Master answered, “that always brought joy to the face of Bahá’u’lláh. His expression would change at the mention of it. That name was Mary of Magdala.”
• Wikipedia entry about Mary.
• Post from 11/05/2011 that mentioned her.

It's nice that the 1912 talks include Christian themes.

After life

Month, Day: 169, Light, Names (Justice)

Both the month and the day are significant to the topic. If only we knew.

The image comes from a wiki page that has an accumulation of the many view about what happens to us beyond the incident that puts us, hopefully, into the grave. Why hopefully? There are many ways that one can be prevented from a peaceful internment, including one's choices.

Also, we cannot know. The Writings have a lot to say on the matter, though. And, dreams can help gain a type of understanding. 

What strikes me about the way this sounds is that it seems to ignore one lesson from the Iqan. That is, one ought not vaunt oneself over the sinner. Why? As no one knows their own end. This little bit comes from an excerpt that is appropriately named thusly: Tablet of the true seeker.

Why the post? It also seems to ring of 'careerism' or however one wants to characterize hierarchy. As we all know, we're of the same lot (dust to dust). Getting to the UHJ is not some epitome of life experience. Why? Think of it; so few? And, no women?

By the way, Hitch awakened. Imagine that!

Remarks:

06/17/2013 -- We're in Light (Perfection comes later). Everyone knows, can know (there are plenty of sources for this, but in one the Glory says that if this weren't true, why the Manifestation - thinking Iqan). That we have hierarchy of what is considered intelligence is a thing of rank (here, not there). When mankind is mature, who would be king (Aqdas)? Speaking of which, after studying several generations of these types (more sinners than saints). They have: aptitude, attitude, access, acknowledgement, and acclaim. That first can be studied, somewhat. Many times, there are several contenders (looking backward - okay?). ... There is an audacious thought. Using 1844, we can look back using a type of symmetry, especially looking at people and memes (to be defined). ... Aside: the new Kings are the leaders, such as CEOs. Many look to themselves (this can be characterized quite readily); ought leaders be more concerned with those they lead?

10/17/2012 -- There is a lot to reflect on, about the trip, especially the western loop.
