Old to new

Month, Day: 175, Dominion, Splendour (Majesty)

Cycles. We have always had them. Seasons are one type. The cold of winter can get us to thinking of daffodils, or hyacinths.  When will they show their heads.

Then, we have all sorts of overlap, as winter doesn't go out like a lamb, usually.

Koran - translation by Rodwell

Month, Day: 175, Names, Knowledge (Independence)

This post will contain references to the Koran, as translated by Rodwell, and to studies related to the translation. This was the recommended translation for Baha'is back in the 1960s.

• The translation  
• Why this translation?
• Why the re-order?
• Comparisons of translations  
• Legal philosophy (see page 68)

August, 2011 to 2015

Month, Day: 175, Names, Knowledge (Independence)

Given cycles (with which are energies), looking across these is apropos. So, this. Have not had posts in August since 2015. So, we'll look at five years of August.

• 2011 (3) - Ramadan started in Perfection which is the last of the Teleological.
• 2012 (5) - The Master was in New England while visiting the States. Then, He had his western jaunt including a stop in Colorado (in the mountains), San Francisco (and surrounds) and a quick visit to Los Angeles (Thornton Chase - cuz).
• 2013 (5) - Octaves and more.
• 2014 (1) - Science and Questions (found stale link).
• 2015 (1) - Photo from  Green Acre, summer of 1912.

Will be doing more of these.

Signs of God

Month, Day: 175, Mercy, Loftiness (Majesty)

We have the ability to know. 'We' meaning us, humans, in general. Too, we are never burdened beyond our capabilities.

• Gleanings (LII): Say: The first and foremost testimony establishing His truth is His own Self. Next to this testimony is His Revelation. For whoso faileth to recognize either the one or the other He hath established the words He hath revealed as proof of His reality and truth. This is, verily, an evidence of His tender mercy unto men. He hath endowed every soul with the capacity to recognize the signs of God. How could He, otherwise, have fulfilled His testimony unto men, if ye be of them that ponder His Cause in their hearts. He will never deal unjustly with any one, neither will He task a soul beyond its power. He, verily, is the Compassionate, the All-Merciful.

'signs' is very significant in this day of technological wonders. 'task' denotes a whole lot more than many might realize.

This starts a new month that coincides with a new moon (and month). We are still dealing with the Teleological.
