"Mind & Development: Baha’i-Inspired Reflections" | Michael Penn

Web Talk #28
The Baha’i writings suggest that the human mind is the most sensitive signal detection system in the natural world.
Its capacity to read reality and to discover its many mysteries is the source of human power and freedom. Yet, because the mind is also a “sign of God, a heavenly gem,” it is forever incapable of cracking the mystery of its own self.
According to the Baha’i Faith, the role of science and religion is to endow the mind with the capacity to recognize its powers and limitations and to enable minds that learn to work together to harvest the finest fruits of existence. In this webinar we will explore these themes.

I meditated for years and I had fruts of meditation. But i never receoved Holly Spirit from meditation. I received Holly Spirit of God afeter I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savor. The two are separate and different paths. No amound of meditation gave me what I had received in one moment, when I was baptised in the Holly Spirit. In that instant, my whole knowledge and experience of God changed. I changed in one second. Holly Spirit is not the inspiration in meditation. You are not seeking the truth. I belive that seeking the truth is the aim of every human being. You must risk everything to find the truth.

Yes, truth is what all humans would do well to seek. The Baha'i Faith teaches that "Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues."
