Month, Day: 169, Words, Sovereignty (Beauty)
Coming up is Perfection, where the eight months' start coincides. Interesting.

Several things, such as seeing the Middle Way counseled, observing that the success of the quantum model is being used for extrapolations (albeit without due regard for the quasi-empirical issues), and much more, bring up a few audacious notions. In terms of the Middle Way, we have the counsel of remembrance and of reflection (implying handling past and present in order to consider the future). Then, we have types of sufficiency that can be argued (we'll get there).

We'll have to review the onset of the current success (and just prior) in order to establish the platform for discussion. Motivation is several-fold which we'll get into as we go along. Necessity? Obvious!

--Ether, in a manner that is unavoidably true. Our task? Show how to handle the matter from a scientific (the wise interpretation, okay?) framework. And, audacity is not necessary.

Agriculture and more
Month, Day: 169, Words, Perfection (Perfection)
While looking at the site about the Master's journey to the U.S., saw the He was about to go north and then west. So, that motivated a look to see what a search on Alfred E. Lunt would bring about. He was an early Baha'i who live in New England. We'll get back to Mr. Lunt at some point.

I found this page, amongst other things, about agriculture. The quote, from a Tablet to an individual says a lot about how we ought to be: Thou hadst made reference in thy letter to agriculture. On this matter He hath laid down the following universal rule: that it is incumbent upon everyone, even should he be resident in a particular land for no more than a single day, to become engaged in some craft or trade, or agriculture, and that the very pursuit of such a calling is, in the eyes of the one true God, identical with worship. This rule was exemplified by the Bahá’í community at the time when they were facing exile from ‘Iraq, for, while they were making arrangements for their journey, they occupied themselves in cultivating the land; and when they set out, instructions were given for the fruits of their labours to be distributed amongst the friends.
There is so much to consider here. Lazing about is definitely not in order. That is, one would think that we would have more than gratification for all of the work done to feed us: growing, transporting, cooking, ...
---
Too, cannot we harness, perhaps, all that energy wasted through exercise, etc.? You do see some who exercise generating power through their efforts, rather than the other way of exercise equipment being a net user of power.
Does the above have a message for how infrastructure, which we have seen decay right and left due to it being ignored - taken for granted, ought to be handled? It's a community affair.
Remarks:
07/17/2012 -- This is great!! It does help with infrastructural issues in the following sense. Rather than have an enslaved group (perpetually, through generations) be those who do the work, it would be shared by all and would be considered worship. The current bifurcation, some call class warfare, would then have no motivating power.
