Allah'u'Abha, friends.
This is a greeting which means, "God is most glorious" I kind of like it. Most members of the Baha'i Faith use it to greet each other. It is not a secret greeting, but one that we all love to hear.
Yes, Sassafras and I are members of the Baha'i Faith. You've never heard of it? Well, there's a lot of that going around.
www.bahai.orgGo ahead, go there and then come back and ask questions. Or don't go there and don't ask questions. Your choice, partner.
Some of the Principles of the Baha'i Faith 1. Oneness of of the world of humanity
2. The foundation of all religion is one
3. Equality between men and women
4. Religion must be in accord with science and reason
5. Religion must be the cause of unity
6. Independent investigation of truth
7. The abolition of all forms of prejudice
8. Universal peace
9. Universal education
10. A universal auxiliary language
11. Spiritual solution of economic problems
12. An international tribunal
Some other teachings of Baha'u'llah-We are created as noble and spiritual beings
-The family is the foundation of human society.
-Marriage is a means for spiritual development of both partners
-Living a moral life has a direct influence on our spiritual happiness and development
-The soul continues after death
Well that is part of who we are.
Both of us are driven by the Baha'i Faith and its guidelines. It is probably the most important of us you could ever know. It may be the only part of us with any value. Well, I am speaking for myself with that last statement. Everything about Sassafras is valued. To know her is to be rewarded.
