The Nine Year Plan and the 28 November 2023 Message of the Universal House of Justice
Fiaydoun Javaheri
2024 ABS Conference, Atlanta, Georgia
The historic significance of the 28 November 2023 letter of the Universal House of Justice to the Bahá'ís of the World is assessed briefly and its potential impact on the implementation of the provisions of current Nine Year Plan is explored. The presentation reviews how various phases of development experienced by the worldwide Bahá’í community can be perceived as successive and coherent stages in a single, unfolding, Divinely- ordained drama and how each generation of Bahá'ís was able to build capacities needed to render the increasingly complex tasks expected of their generation. It argues that for the task ahead the achievements of...

Stellar talk!
Momentous events in 2024.. geeeeee!!
Wonderful and soul-stirring and practical. Thanks for sharing your insights and the "case studies" were perfect in support of your theme....very inspiring and motivating.
Unity is not a dream, but the result of the natural expression of the degree to which spiritual virtues are practiced in our daily lives. We most easily come together to consult on issues, seeking beneficial solutions. Divisiveness comes out of and serves the ego, our self-dreamed image of ourselves. Unity is diverse, always. This presentation accurately depicts the path to take away from having power over others, and steadily replace those practices with a focus on how well we can create unity using spiritual virtues to develop peace and understanding between each of us for the betterment of all. Thank you for this thoughtful program.
Maravillosas búsquedas, encuentros y actos en el arte que son divinos. Felicitaciones y gracias por mostrar estás charlas q animan.🎉❤
Inspiradora, recordatoria línea de sucesos y acciones que debemos seguir, sin desanimarnos. Gracias por estas verdades caballero.
I have concern for the first responder to this message board. Offering love and concern for his well being. LOVE should be genuine and lasting.
It was beautiful. Thank you.❤
This was wonderfully inspiring. A taste of where Baha'i artists are taking us and how they can speak to the revelations that help us grow in understanding of our Faith. But, Kim and ABS: there is so much more these artists must have said. Is there a full length video of the interviews with them and with Kim?
Thank you for sharing
This is such a thought-provoking talk on a life-changing subject. Thank you!
Great talk ❤❤
Thank you ❤
Excellent 🎉
Thank you ❤
Excellent 🎉
There is much more than the intellectual part of the faith. Without love, you have nothing?
You can say that about any part of the Faith. Unity means all the parts. Highlighting one part over another , is impractical.
very fine explaintaion of the 9year plan
Thank you so much for this inspiring talk❤
This really is an outstanding presentation 👏
Wonderful speech !!! 🌹🙏
Great talk and the only way for progress and protecting humankind ❤❤️🌹🌷🌷🌺🌹🌹❤️ 59:10
Without love, faith is lost, and my death is near i hope to see you my friends soon
Bing brought up Bahai I do not see the growth of Baha'is which level me dumbfounded it seems to have great ideas, and I hope that the progress can be seen soon
There is a lot of progress . You can review that in the letters of the supreme body , the universal house of Justice.
Great insights
What a powerful movement marching towards the many stories that inspire the ONENESS OF HUMANITY. Thanks to all the souls who were a part of this movement. God is Glorious.
What a joy to watch this video and see Dr. Arfaei. ❤
Thanks for this powerful presentation & its message that we need to examine the entrenched structure of human thought -- which is the deeper cause of racism--& how that way of thinking operates in our daily life. Focusing on the consequences of this racist thinking will not end the problem unless & until we also understand it.
Thank you for posting this most excellent and important presentation. We have so much to do to help humanity to move forward. Mr. Lample is inspiring and encouraging! 🙏☮️❤
Race exists in the vain imagination of citizens.
Thank you! ❤

Thank you! ❤
Wow! What a beautiful presentation on Baha’i World Volume accompanied with a wonderful warm voice. Thank you so much!🙏🌷🌷🙏👌💜
This talk has greatly encouraged me to know that there are people who are working to relief human suffering. Thanks Jasmine!
Thankful for access to this presentation.
Most apt. Humanity has a long road ahead. We have started and we shall continue to walk that path
Watching this now.
Beautiful ❤
Colorblindness is the ideology of socialism. "racial awareness" is the ideology of neoliberalism
Re: social networks there's a difference between a mission statement for the public and the corporate mission of profit. At best they're incongruent, and at worst they lead to death.
❤️🙏🏿🌹
Wonderful presentation! Greetings from Switzerland!
It is a timely, informative and inspiring presentation! Tq very much Mr Firaydoun Javaheri. I'm going to translate this in my mother tongue, and share to them in manuscript form. Hope Mr Javaheri has no objection!
THAT PRESIDENT , WAS THE ADOPTED SON OF ABDUL'BAHA ! WHICH IS PROVEN ! WE CAN PROVE THIS !
NOW , BEFORE SHOGHI PASSED, HE ESTABLISHED THE "IBC" WHICH WAS TO GO THREW 4 STAGES OF DEVELOPEMENT ! THAT IBC HAD A "PRESIDENT", AT WHICH THE PERSIAN HANDS OF THE CAUSE THREW OUT WHAT "HE" ESTABLISHED ! WHY ?
DURING THE 10 YR. CRUSADE OF SHOGHI'S ADMINISTRATION , SHOGHI ESTABLISHED 150 KNIGHTS OF BAHA'U'LLAH ! ABDUL'BAHA , SAID, "IT WOULD BE THESE SAME KNIGHTS THAT WOULD ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF BAHA'U'LLAH "! TWO OF THOSE "KNIGHTS", WAS MY TEACHERS !
Thank you. I guess it's not surprising that in general, people are not that literate about religions other than their own. Your research highlights how the fact of the existence of the Faith has not yet entered the consciousness of people, even those that are religious.
Thank you for sharing this discussion. As stated in the conclusion, this history of genocide meant profound suffering to generations of human beings. Thankful the Association bears witness and that we can learn from the hearts and mouths of ones who live it.
