❤ Thank you so much. Very inspiring; this was a huge wake-up call for me. The quotations you shared are very much needed. 😢It is easy to become complacent and self-righteous; to become a source of division because of our pride and lack of empathy.

Years ago, we replace the lawn around our home with ground covers and native plants. This was shocking to several of my neighbours...but I was in love with my alternative garden and just carried-on thinking they would catch-up and eventually see how "right" an ecological landscape was. I saw myself as a forerunner; not a rebel. Now I feel guilty and sad. What is beautiful to me is not what they are used to- about a year ago,to my horror, I realized that I was a source of disunity in my immediate neighbourhood. Some like my garden but others find it too wild and unorthodox. So, not only do I have this weird religion, but also I unabashedly adopted this alternative landscaping style...I am not a source of unity; I am an early adopter...I did not even realize how controversial I was. I would research and visit other gardens that were like mine, seek to emulate these ecological gardens who had alternative "lawns". Taking these ideals as "my norm". My norm, is quite alternative; I did not even realize this because I was in my own "bubble".

Great principals worth applying to everyday living. But we can't be keep silent in the face of what we are witnessing globaly, indeed, truth, justice and reconciliation should be at the forefront of equality, for peaceful coexistence

Tim promised me he would write a comment vouching for the plausibility of relieving the world of the handicap of the second law of thermodynamics. I appologize for not waiting for permission to move this matter along. Aloha

Tim Shrimpton, chairman of Hanalei LSA under NSA Hawaii may vouch for the technical plausibility of conquering the second law of thermodynamics. I'll ask him if you wish. Aloha

What’s sad is some ngos and other organizations complicit in the horrific child trafficking which has only gotten worse. The governments are too involved in this. But thankfully the consciousness of the oneness of humanity is growing .

As I see it, the war in Ukraine is only in part an ethnic war. For years Russians and Ukrainians lived in peace in a unified land until the West, through the agency of a co-opted NATO, fomented rebellion against the duly elected government of Ukraine in 2014. The country as a whole voted for what the West considered a Pro-Russian president, a president that wanted to build stronger ties to Russia with the intent to peacefully co-exist with them. The Orange Revolution, one of many Color Revolutions fomented by the West throughout North Africa and the Middle East at that time, was an insurrection supported by our own CIA and State Department and resulted in a coup against the democratically elected president of the country. Since then, that whole region was on a glide path to overt NATO inspired and fomented and supplied war, using in part white supremacist/Nazi-inspired Ukrainians to harass and murder ethnic Russians. This is what caused the war, not whatever ambitions Putin may or may not have had. The West turned the mutual defense pact of NATO into an aggressive influence to spread Western or Anglo-American dreams of Global Hegemony. They have turned a tool for peace into a weapon of war, and they hide behind a nearly impenetrable wall of propaganda and thought-control (disinformation?), projecting the negative aspects of the behavior they are engaging in onto the victims of their agenda.

I totally agree with you. What we need is transparency. The media has been corrupted by the cia. All the honest people in journalism have left because of their conscience, men and women. Newspapers are the same. Between the corporations that run the networks as well the propaganda we’re hearing on news feeds to divide us. Also the human trafficking leading and increase of pedophilia happening in our lives blatantly open is truly an incredibly sad situation. My ❤is for all children and people. It seems more we’re headed for a cataclysmic event as indicated in our writings.

I thank you for the talk but I would question some of the opinions expressed here. 1. Women have always been an active part of the economics of the world. Not recognising the value of parenting is old world thinking. Not recognising parenting as 'work' even if unpaid, not recognising the billions of dollars parenting contributes to the world, along with being at the forefront of creating impactful humans (could there be anything more world empowering), is a way of thinking that doesn't see the value in what women have done for centuries. And if they didn't do it, then what? Second, to not be political is also to avoid hard left woke ideology that has pulled a blanket over people's eyes, stopped them from investigating truth and dangerously sorted people into simplistic categories of victims and oppressors and sought to create a highly tribalistic world. To assess the war between Hamas and Israel using this ideology is to not give a nuanced commentary, one that young Americans sorely need..Ali Abu Awwad, the leader of the Palestinian nonviolent movement Taghyeer said in a TED talk two weeks ago, that any attempt to refer to Palestinians or Israelis as victims, simply doesn't help the Palestinians. Hamas is an extreme, fundamentalist group that actively calls for the death of all Jews, Their intent is genocide. it refused to use money sent by the international community for Palestinians and instead bought weapons and built tunnels You quoted 13,000 deaths of children as if it were solely the fault of Israel. A) that is Hamas reported and we have no idea if the number is correct. b) Hamas counts children as up to the age of 19 and many Hamas fighters are aged between 15-19. We don't know how many were Hamas soldiers and therefore not civilians. C) we don't know whether they were killed by Hamas when their rockets misfired or when they decided not to let civilians leave their homes because the idf instructed them to get out. D) Hamas uses schools, mosques and hospitals, even children's bedrooms as shields. And lest we forget, on October 7th, Hamas killed many Israeli children and babies in gruesome and horrific ways. This wasn't about land, it was about religious hatred. Listen to Loay Al Shareef, raised in Saudi and taught to hate Jews from birth as many Muslim countries teach. And zoom out to provide context that this is a proxy war fought on behalf of Iran who has funded and coordinated this war with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. This is a really complicated situation, not one that can be easily simplified. You have an amazing teacher at Penn state, Dr Sam Richards, and his sociology class is streamed online. He talks of standing in the space between Israelis and Palestinians,, holding that space, aware of as much as possible, the history and geopolitics of it all but maintaining a position of conversation and listening for everyone.

Love your thoughts on these difficult issues. It is true that women's work has always been essential for the well-being of the world. However, the Baha'i teachings on the equality of men and women is not directed at this obvious truth, but at the mental constructs that view women as inferior to men. The view that women are lesser than men goes waaaay back in human history, not universally, but widespread nevertheless. It was hardwired in early pre-migration Indo-European belief systems from over 5 or 6 thousand years ago; it was prevalent in many Semitic contexts as well, etc, etc. What the Baha'i Faith makes clear is that any such construct is absolute fiction and fantasy and we are to view men and women as true equals in reality.

I hope I can say this a little more clearly as I'm well aware of the history of the inequality of women and men, and the Baha'i view on it. I expect the language and concepts expressed by Baha'is to really reflect a different way of thinking about the value of the contribution that women have made in the past and do make now. Current thinking denigrates the work of parenting in the past and now, and makes invisible the value of any kind of care work. Current conversation tells women that if they stay at home and care for children either full-time or part time, that is considered a set back for the world. We still don't see the value of this contribution and we do not have a larger conversation about the needs of the child, the needs of a family, how business structures need to change. We know that parenting and women's value is held in high esteem in the Baha'i faith, therefore we shouldn't be talking about women not being part of the workforce in the past. We need to revision how we talk about women's work in the past because that is old world order thinking. We need to stop thinking that when a person parented they were opting out of the workforce and therefore not contributing to the world stage. Continuing to talk about women as if they were not part of the world continues to make women's value invisible. And if you've been a parent, you know that skills acquired by parenting are like acquiring skills in any job and build on skills you already have. . I hope that makes sense. Baha'is need to be at the forefront of revisiting and revisioning the way we are talking about women's contributions in the past..
