Billy Howell-Sinnard replied to Jeffrey Jackson's discussion Is religion worth our time? If so, which one and why?

"I would never presume to say you don't know, or anyone else doesn't know. I'm only suggesting that there is always more to know in my experience, and the moment I say "I know" is the end of learning and being open."

Billy Howell-Sinnard replied to Jeffrey Jackson's discussion Is religion worth our time? If so, which one and why?

The Prosperity of Humankind

from the statement prepared by the Bahá'í International Community's Office of Public Information, Haifa, Israel, 3 March 1995The task of creating a global development strategy that will accelerate humanity’s coming-of-age constitutes a challenge to reshape fundamentally all the institutions of society. The protagonists to whom the challenge addresses itself are all of the inhabitants of the planet: the generality of humankind, members of governing institutions at all levels, persons serving in…See More

poverty allowed to reach a condition of starvation is a sure sign that somewhere we shall find tyranny

One of the most important principles of the Teaching of Bahá’u’lláh is:

The right of every human being to the daily bread whereby they exist, or the equalization of the means of livelihood.

The arrangements of the circumstances of the people must be such that poverty shall disappear, that everyone, as far as possible, according to his rank…

Elder's Meditation of the Day

Elder's Meditation of the Day - April 30

"Modern civilization has no understanding of sacred matters. Everything is backwards." -- Thomas Yellowtail, CROW

Modern civilization says, don't pray in school; don't pray at work; only go to church on Sunday. If you don't believe what I believe, you'll go to hell. Deviancy is normal. Our role models cheat, drink and run around; these are the people in the news. The news sells bad…

At 8:02am on September 19, 2011, Alex Nicoletti said…: Hi Billy, Thanks but who is the guy?

It is important for people that have knowledge on survival to make contact with each and share what they know and network to spread what we know as far as we could to as many as we can...

At 2:03pm on September 16, 2011, Adriana Carluccio said…: Hi Billy. I posted a blog about a new emotional technique for health. Could you please give me your opinion according to Bahá'u'lláh spiritual ideas? Thank you and bye. Ciao, Adriana.

At 11:50am on September 15, 2011, Billy Howell-Sinnard said…: The system works best when we have concern for others not just ourselves, when we live in harmony with each other and the planet. When we don't live in this manner, we go against the laws of the universe, and we are "punished", so to speak, by the consequences of disrupting the connectedness of all things. Maybe people have an aversion to the words "punishment and reward", but basically that's what's happening. This is the creation; it is not some silly, unjust God punishing people at random.

Almost every day we make decisions that will either cause sorrow or joy in our lives. We either learn our lesson or continue in our folly.

"We never know what's enough, until we've had more than enough."

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."

--William Blake

At 6:09pm on August 25, 2011, Billy Howell-Sinnard said…: ‎"In this age of spiritual awakening, the world has entered upon the path of progress into the arena of development, where the power of the spirit surpasses that of the body. Soon the spirit will have dominion over the world of humanity."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, 'Abdu'l-Bahá in London, 1911, p. 81)

At 11:35am on August 18, 2011, Billy Howell-Sinnard said…: Verily, He said: "Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." In this day, however, We say: "Come ye after Me, that We may make you to become quickeners of mankind."

--Bahá'u'lláh

At 9:12am on March 17, 2011, miro marchi said…: Hi! no, i'm not the author. I have bought this sculpture in a small shop in Venice, Italy. The white cat had a lot of brothers: blue, red, yellow and black ones! they are wild cats of uruguay. (but i cannot ensure you it is not paraguay). The shop owner is a gentle lady from uruguay. She bought the sculptures from a friend of her, in uruguay. Not very precise, I know. I can tell you that the cat is 10 cm height and very light, becouse it is made of palm wood! this is unexpected! Bye Billy Howell.Sinnard, nice to meet you.

It is for this reason that the world hath been moved to its depths, and the hearts and consciences of men been quickened. Erelong the evidences of this regeneration will be revealed, and the fast asleep will be awakened.”
