Some people think that the world is in great turmoil, others may think that the world is not that bad, and other’s may not give a care at all. This video is capturing some of the things people said that the world needs the most today. I do actually think that the world needs something, but I don’t want to share my thoughts, rather I will leave it up to you guys to figure out what you think the world needs today!

The California Aggie Interview | UC Davis | [Elevated & Meaningful]
In this video, you will get to watch a very interesting interview. The California Aggie found out about me from the Davis Enterprise article and “Amanda Cruz” the interviewer contacted me asking if I’d be willing to be on the UC Davis “The California Aggie” page, newspaper, blog, story, and etc. In other words, to be featured in the magazine. These experiences have been amazing, I am super thankful, super gratified, because I really never expected anything like this to happen. I am feeling that the general public is finding value in my efforts to raise public discussions to new levels and I am again super thankful! Lastly, these interviews, writers such as Elena Tom and Amanda Cruz, have really forced me to solidify my thinking and purpose in creating “Elevated & Meaningful”, I have been able to better articulate what the true purpose is, and of course this is an ongoing learning for me, so my channel may, in fact, evolve to something way beyond what I initially thought! For now, it makes sense…
The Twin Holy Days Commemoration | Baha’u’llah & The Bab | [Elevated & Meaningful]
As the Baha’i Community awaits the near 200 year birth of Baha’u’llah on November 2017 and then the 200 year birth of the Bab on November 2019 (“Lunar Calander”, meeting the provisions of the Most Holy Book, Kitab-i-Aqdas), the Baha’i Community of Davis California has put together a video as a way to celebrate theTwin Holy Days in such a time of “Special Potency” as the Universal House of Justice writes in the latest Five-Year-Plan (December 29, 2015).
With much joy and pure excitement, I offer the whole world this amazing video for all to enjoy, share, comment, and like!
May the celebration of these Twin Holy Birthdays inspire humanity to arise and serve this Great Cause of God, and bear the responsibility of constructing what it was destined.
May the world finally recognize Baha’u’llah and apply His teachings to remedy the maladies of the present day’s social order that is crumbling for a new one to be laid out in its stead. An order that is none other than the establishment of unity in the world, and the emergence of the Divine Civilization ordained by God.

Science & Religion in Harmony | Baha’i Principle | [Elevated & Meaningful]
Interviewing Sana Rezai about the harmony between science and religion. Both are two systems of knowledge given to humanity to utilize, in order to understand the physical reality, the social reality, and the spiritual reality. Through the instrumentality of these two knowledge systems, humanity is able to appreciate the purpose and direction of the world of humanity, and if the unity of the whole world is the primary objective, then we could undoubtedly achieve it with science and religion.
MANSPLAINING | (UC Davis) | [Elevated & Meaningful]
In the current state of media and public discourse, we still see men putting women down however well-intentioned men may be. These attitude men are exuding toward women, is known as “Mansplaining”. This attitude manifests itself when men and women are, i.e. having a discussion and the man either interrupts, speaks over, or simply dismisses what the woman has to share because “she doesn’t know what she’s talking about” or because somehow the man has “inherent superior knowledge”. This attitude does not do justice to bringing about the “Equality of Women and Men” as is the teachings of the Baha’i Faith.
