Unenrolled Baha'i: August 2009
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Monday, August 17, 2009. Deeds, Not Words? I happened to be reading Persian Hidden Words #5 today, which contains the much-quoted admonition "Let deeds, not words, be your adorning." It's clear why everyone, not matter what their take on the Baha'i Writings, has this one as a favorite. Of course, one should "walk the walk", rather than just "talk the talk". There's really nothing to contextualize, puzzle out, discuss, or argue about. Sunday, August 9, 2009. With al...

Unenrolled Baha'i: Piercing Heaven
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008/11/piercing-heaven.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Thursday, November 13, 2008. Make me a good teacher today. Let me give the children what they need." Then, I'll add a couple of names of God, just like you find at the end of Baha'i written prayers. That's not entirely a selfless prayer, by the way - obviously, if I do well in my job it benefits me as well as the children I teach. Let me show compassion to everyone who crosses my path." It's simple, to the point, and what more do I need to say? Follow me on Twitter.

Unenrolled Baha'i: Ask: Does it help?
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2009/08/ask-does-it-help.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Sunday, August 9, 2009. Ask: Does it help? Something that at one time would have had me blogging in outrage and disgust. For me, the question "Do you believe that Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God for this Day? Had become rather like the question "Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? A better question would be "Do you love Baha'u'llah? And there, I could give you an unqualified "Yes". Not a day goes by that I don't read his Writings; it's a part o...

Unenrolled Baha'i: April 2008
http://unenrolled.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Reaching out to the wider Baha'i world. Sunday, April 27, 2008. White Knuckles and Transformation. I recently read of someone who said of the spiritual path "I keep falling off the steed in the Valley of Search". O.K. kids, pop quiz: What is the name of that steed? I don't think we can get very far with a grim determination to do "better" - certainly not to be perfect. I think part of spiritual development is the ability to look honestly at our weaknesses, trying to understand the causes, and at time...

Renown Iranian director and film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s recent work is simply titled “The Gardener” but it is about a topic anything but simple. Makhmalbaf says: “Many of us Iranians know more about religions and schools of thought from Indian, Chinese, or Japanese origin than religions that have grown out of Iran. Maybe this has been willed by censorship. Nor surprisingly, the newer gene...
