    😂❤ Through the Bahà'i teachings I recognized that we are One. Christians and Bahà'is recognize the One True God- and our God is the same God. Before being a Bahà'i I did not recognize Christ and did not believe in The Holy Bible- now I do. Bahàis recognize and awknowledge the Sonship of Christ and His return as The Glory of God in the days of resurrection.

    I'm not sure how I can address all the ignorance packed in this video. Bab essentially has tried to do the work that a traitor like Mani wanted to combine judo-Christianity with Iranian and Chinese philosophy. These philosophies are inherently incompatible and contradict with each. I'm appalled how you put a seal of approval on Muslim bandit that is responsible for war crimes against Persians. Zoroastrians Magis visiting baby Jesus is a fabricated Christian propaganda to legitimate the messianic aspect of Jesus.

    What do you think of this as a semiconductor expert? 《 Arrays of nanodiodes promise full conservation of energy》 A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motion of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas liquid or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron with minimal disturbance of the crystal pattern. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates a hole which is similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal transients where mobbile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so they are filtered into the external circuit. Electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Aloha

    This was an amazing presentation. Thank you. What a great idea to learn how Baha'is are putting the writings into practice and how they see them manifested in the sciences. I really resonated with Faith and Joe Dispenza's work. I would love to experience a transformational workshop. If anyone knows how I can get a hold of Faith, I'd appreciate it.

    @Twilightsummerbreeze 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You did an excellent job of staying on the straight and narrow road of exactly what the Bahai Faith teaches without allowing the ego to swerve left or right. I would like to bring to attention, that words that used to mean one thing, have been bombarded to mean another. For instance, equity now means DEI. Climate change (which the science community is debating, with 168 scientists saying it's a hoax) is associated with Bill Gates who wants zero carbon, and to tear down trees. Whereas Baha'is plant trees. So we need Bahai language. And we need to create our own social justice programs, because some others, are opposed to Bahai teachings, such as, BLM is Marxism, which Shoghi Effendi said communism was one of the great evils of the world. So we need carefully selected words and groups that reflect the highest and truest teachings of the Bahai Faith.

    I think that "Gods Will vs my will" does not "always" mean God's Will vs my will, but rather, from a state of consciousness -- by His power light in me as the Self, not from the state of my powerless identification with the story of my ego state. Pray from the state of His presence within you. As Christ said, " The Father within me doeth the works."

    Chapter four on the description of the Prayer for the Days of Occultation: … Know thou first of the truth, that verily God, glorified be He, hath not created anything save that He hath made it in the utmost perfection according to His power. Had it been otherwise, His artifact would not have been perfect and thus would not have been worthy of attribution by God to Himself. When thou recognizest this reality and beholdest its mystery by thy truth, thou wouldst recognize that, verily, in its primordial station of its existence, no being is in need of anything that it lthen may supplicate unto God its Lord for its sake. Nay rather, God hath created all beings as it behoveth His glory. But when one turneth away from one’s true station, in such manner that one falsifieth one’s identity, and suffereth dependence on all things, God then enjoineth upon him the duty of prayer for the sake of his emancipation. (Commentary on Occultation Prayer)
