The Bahai Revelation

Thornton Chase

"The Bahá'í Revelation is a profound concept that lies at the heart of the Bahá'í Faith. Let us explore this spiritual perspective: God's Light and Progressive Revelation: God, the Creator of the universe, is all-knowing, all-loving, and all-merciful. Just as the physical sun shines upon the world, so does the light of God illuminate all of Creation. However, it is impossible for any mortal mind to fully comprehend the reality of God. Throughout history, God has sent Divine Messengers, known as Manifestations of God, to guide humanity. These Manifestations include Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muḥammad, and, in more recent times, the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. Their purpose is to cultivate humanity's spiritual, intellectual, and moral capacities. Progressive Revelation: Progressive revelation is a core teaching in the Bahá'í Faith. It suggests that religious truth is revealed by God progressively and cyclically over time. Each Manifestation tailors their teachings to suit the needs of the era, the location, and the capacity of humanity. Just as a child's education progresses through different stages, humanity collectively evolves. We find ourselves at the threshold of a coming age—a planetary civilization reshaping human society worldwide. Witnessing God's Handiwork: Reflect upon the wondrous evidences of God's handiwork. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, invites us to recognize the signs of divine guidance. As we embrace unity, justice, and compassion, we contribute to the advancement of civilization. In this journey of progressive revelation, humanity unfolds like a magnificent tapestry, woven with threads of love, wisdom, and purpose."

Frequently, when assigning labels to individuals or things, boundaries are inadvertently set, turning the label itself into a confining restriction. It's crucial for adults to choose their words carefully, as children absorb them swiftly. We each faced this issue when he was taunted by bullies who dubbed him "the kid with the broken brain. 
I came to the realization that he had been approaching his challenges with the wrong set of questions. Instead of contemplating what to learn, he needed to find effective and enjoyable methods for learning. 
In the realm of wisdom, gaining knowledge is akin to possessing extraordinary abilities. Our potential to learn is boundless; all that's required is proper guidance on accessing it. A specific mindset, motivation, and methodology can assist you in enhancing your cognitive abilities, enabling you to grasp any subject more swiftly and unlock a more exceptional life. 
If you're not reaching your full potential in learning or living, and there's a disparity between your current and desired reality, it indicates a limitation that needs to be identified and replaced in your mindset (the what), your motivation (the why), or your approach (the how). 
The four learning challenges often referred to as "supervillains" include digital deluge, digital distraction, digital dementia, and digital deduction. While these conditions are not directly caused by technology, it serves as an amplifier, magnifying their impact despite its numerous advantages.
