Shun the differences!

Whatsoever hath led the children of men to shun one another, and hath caused dissensions and divisions amongst them, hath, through the revelation of these words, been nullified and abolished."

~Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 95

Leave your fears behind. Here it's safe for Baha'is and seekers of Light to open their hearts and minds and speak freely about the Guardianship of the Baha'i Faith as it relates to the Covenant, and to discuss other spiritual matters. Allow yourself to be attracted to a higher truth no mattter where it takes you!

Baha'is have endured tremendous sacrifices since the birth of our Faith. Sixty years of the practice of shunning, causing us to fear being labeled a "violator of the Covenant" for simply exercising our right to unfettered search for truth, has divided us, misdirected us, weakened us, and dehumanized us until we're no longer effective Ambassadors of Baha'u'llah's Kingdom!!! Baha'u'llah's Mission is to help our world find unity, yet we're now divided into various Baha'i groups over issues relating to succession of authority, in particular the Guardianship.

Baha'u'llah's central spiritual message is that all humanity descends from the same Light. So why not try to go beyond what we're "sure" is certainty, and join others who, through Holy Spirit's assistance, are moving beyond division?

Let us shun our divisions. Let us stop labeling each other covenant-breakers. Let us stop slandering each other and UNITE under Guardian and consolidate the Mission of Baha’u’llah.
