Nobility | Baha’i | [Elevated & Meaningful]

O SON OF MAN! Veiled in My immemorial being and in the ancient eternity of My essence, I knew My love for thee; therefore I created thee, have engraved on thee Mine image and revealed to thee My beauty. (Baha’u’llah)

O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created. (Baha’u’llah)

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness

Can Scientists Believe in God? | Dr. Enderle | UC Davis | [Elevated & Meaningful]

Dr. Enderle is a Chemist and a Theologian. He teaches Chemistry at UC Davis, and he is interested in the idea that God and Science can actually “share the same space” if viewed differently, than the traditional view. His point of view is very close if not the same, as the perspective of the Baha’i teachings on the concept of Science and Religion.

The following is a quote from Abdu’l-Baha:

“Any religious belief which is not conformable with scientific proof and investigation is superstition, for true science is reason and reality, and religion is essentially reality and pure reason; therefore, the two must correspond. Religious teaching which is at variance with science and reason is human invention and imagination unworthy of acceptance, for the antithesis and opposite of knowledge is superstition born of the ignorance of man. If we say religion is opposed to science, we lack knowledge of either true science or true religion, for both are founded upon the premises and conclusions of reason, and both must bear its test.”

Interfaith Gathering UC Davis | Mosque Vandalized | [Elevated & Meaningful]

Last Sunday some people decided to disrespect the beautiful blue Mosque, the Islamic House of Worship here in Davis California which is right across the UC Davis campus on Russell Blvd. The individuals who vandalised the place shattered a few of its doors on the right side of the Mosque and the back doors which are made of glass. A lady was recorded on surveillance camera putting bacon on the glass door handles and they had also flattened a few if not all bikes that were locked in sight.

Due to this tragic situation, in less than a few days the Muslim community asked for the neighbouring faiths such as the Christian and Jewish communities to come together for a united effort to pray together and stop any forms of prejudice.

All kinds of people were there from all over the world and it was a very beautiful gathering, akin to the kind of community and world we will eventually have in the near future!

Consumer Culture | [Elevated & Meaningful]

I had a thought about the way we live our lives here in the USA. I wanted to talk about the culture of consumerism and the attachment to material things. I thought this could open the way for further questioning and thinking about this topic so that we become aware to not get worse.

Check out my other videos on various topics having to do with important things I think we should be talking about and thinking about!

Proof that we have a SOUL | [Elevated & Meaningful]

I made this video with some friends like 2 weeks ago with some friends talking about whether we have a soul. The conversation revolved around many concepts that allude to the fact that we don’t know everything, and that science doesn’t really know what an atom looks like. That we place our faith in things unseen but we know that those things exist by the effects they produce.

Please if you liked this video write in the comment below your thoughts about this topic, do we have a soul? How can we tell if we have a soul? What effects do our souls produce that help us to know for sure we have a soul?

the need for more Meaningful Content | Baha’i Inspired | [Elevated & Meaningful]

We need to make more contents that have a purpose not only to inspire but to attract hearts to the love of God and to Baha’u’llah and to edify the souls of humankind and to arise and serve the best interest of their long lost faith. Humanity is on the urge of destroying itself because it has lost its identity and purpose, we need to combine the kind of video contents, music, and other forms of art to revitalise the truth of who we are and what we are here to do for 80 odd years.
Please if you watched this video and it has made you want to start making videos in this way, please contact me soon as possible and let me know, maybe we can work together!

almost Accompaniment | [Elevated & Meaningful]

This video is not representative of the totality of what accompaniment looks like, it’s just a few friends dedicated in their local neighbourhoods who have gathered to discuss what they have so far learned and how we can keep on learning and growing our communities. That’s why I didn’t allow a full discussion to be in this video, rather my video is to merely show that such conversations are taking place in this dark age of the world, that there are individuals who exist that are committed to building up a new “Divine Civilization” as envisioned by Baha’u’llah (The Blessed Beauty).

Baha’u’llah: Letter to Napoleon III & Queen Victoria | [Elevated & Meaningful]

I will talk about 2 of the Kings and Queen of His time, namely, Napoleon III and Queen Victoria.

You should note, that Baha’u’llah came to fulfil the prophecies of the past Religions such as the Return of Christ, and the Promised One, to lead humanity to all Truth.

So, it was imperative that Baha’u’llah wrote to kings and rulers of His time to inform them of the time they were living and the will of God for today.

Most of them took His message as heresy and lunatic.

i.e., Baha’u’llah said to Napoleon III that he needs to turn to the Will of God and Baha’u’llah said a lot of things about His station and His mission to bring about the Most Great Peace.

You know what Napoleon III responded to Baha’u’llah? He said, “If this man is God, I am two Gods.”

Shortly after in about 3 years or so, approximately, Napoleon’s kingdom fell

Beginning in 1867 in Adrianople and continuing later in ‘Akká, Bahá’u’lláh wrote to the kings and rulers of the world,

Read Baha’u’llah’s Summons of the Lord of Hosts where He writes to all of the Kings and Rulers of His time:

http://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/bahaullah/summons-lord-hosts/

Baha’u’llah wrote back to Napoleon III
“For what thou hast done, thy kingdom shall be thrown into confusion, and thine empire shall pass from thine hands, as a punishment for that which thou hast wrought. 21 Then wilt thou know how thou hast plainly erred. Commotions shall seize all the people in that land, unless thou arisest to help this Cause.”

Amazing Photos of Animals | [Elevated & Meaningful]

Woodland California is a pretty cool city, there is a historical feeling to it. Definitely, it has a heritage I have yet to learn about. But I guess it is a “City of Trees”. This evening I and some of my friends decided to go to the Art Walk and meet Lynda Goff. Check her website out and her artwork. Click here to see more: http://www.lyndagoffphotography.com/
