Another picture post! 'Abdu'l-Baha wrote:
Whensoever holy souls, drawing on the powers of heaven, shall arise with such qualities of the spirit, and march in unison, rank on rank, every one of those souls will be even as one thousand, and the surging waves of that mighty ocean will be even as the battalions of the Concourse on high. What a blessing that will be -- when all shall come together, even as once separate torrents, rivers and streams, running brooks and single drops, when collected together in one place will form a mighty sea. And to such a degree will the inherent unity of all prevail, that the traditions, rules, customs and distinctions in the fanciful life of these populations will be effaced and vanish away like isolated drops, once the great sea of oneness doth leap and surge and roll.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 260)
The people I live with:
And I were talking about interracial babies this morning. Erica (the woman above; Marvin, the man above, is her husband) pulled out the quote above and shared her opinion that the distinctions mentioned above included those of race. I concurred then based on the knowledge that 'Abdu'l-Baha strongly encouraged interracial marriages, which obviously lead to children the likes of which the world has not seen until recently, and think it is even more likely now because we all come from the same source species and the Central Figures said:
There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God.
(The Proclamation of Baha'u'llah, p. 114)
Love ye all religions and all races with a love that is true and sincere
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 69)
Wherever you find the attributes of God love that person, whether he be of your family or of another.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 38)
And we have had several African Hands of the Cause so we must have similar spiritual capacities and be able to pass them on to our children too, however they look, or as I would rather say, however beautiful they may be. Erica called interracial children golden children, both because of their color and because they herald the coming of the golden age of Baha'u'llah. I think I am going to do my next presentation for speech on globalization, and want to include this theme, so I found a couple of pictures of the steps forward in the unification of the human race:
Also my younger friends, keep in mind that multiracial babies are healthier than limited race babies!
And also, this is a composite Time Magazine made of what people might look like in the future:
