It's morning day 2 of a water fast (coffee and electrolytes) and the GRATITUDE is just coming out of me as if from an invisible source.

This paragraph is about the Master. Apparently there was "another" person who called himself Abdul'Baha. I assume because the Master was maybe Agha so a regular Baha'i calling himself that would not raise eyebrows.

On a maybe unrelated note, does anyone remember of that photograph of an early Baha'i who looked curiously to have groomed himself in the manner of a young Master. His mustache and hair and parts of his clothing.

I believe the biggest channels for pro are /r/Adventist and /r/SeventhDayAdventist but they only have a few thousand members combined if that.

While the Pro Mormon subs seems to be in the low hundreds of thousands.

Is this a larger trend of SDA to shy away from certain parts of the Internet?

The topic of consultation in this post please is the IDENTITY of this "Healing Prayer". The question on the table is: Is this the Famous Long Healing Prayer OR the one that starts "They Name is my Healing". I remember reading SOMETHING that the Guardian wrote these words BEFORE he gave the Bahá'í' world a translation of the Long Healing Prayer.

"These daily obligatory prayers, together with a few other specific ones, such as the Healing Prayer, the Tablet of Ahmad, have been invested by Bahá'u'lláh with a special potency and significance, and should therefore be accepted as such and be recited by the believers with unquestioning faith and confidence, that through them they may enter into a much closer communion with God, and identify themselves more fully with His laws and precepts." - From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, (Baha'i Prayers, p. 208)

"Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”

Let's say that you can get a room in a 4* hotel for £80 per night (so £2,400 per month). This would be a room for one person with a large bed, desk, big TV, wardrobe, small fridge, kettle, bathroom, shower, etc.

The water, electricity, and broadband are included in the price as is regular cleaning.

If something breaks then the hotel should fix it. No need to call a plumber or electrician.

Many hotels have reward schemes with a 2% or 3% discount on prices for regular users.

Apparently, VAT is not payable on hotel rooms from day 29 which will significantly cut costs for an unbroken long stay.

I assume one would get to know the employees and treat them well and, in turn, they could assist you as and when necessary.

The main issues are the lack of space (but many people live in cramped conditions anyhow), minimal places to put purchased objects, and the general impersonal nature of the establishment. However, none of these will be an issue for some people. You could even cheaply rent a storage space for your possessions.

Also, you could not cook. You would eat cold food, order room service, or eat out (which would append to the costs).

Has anyone done this? Is it viable? You could attempt to live in a reasonable area and perhaps pay less than renting a one-bedroom flat. All bills are included and you are not paying for any repairs.

ETA: There was also a "fitness centre" in the basement but I suspect it was not quite the same as a gym.

Thougts?

Coming back from the corner store this cute friendly thing approaches me. Initially I tried to side step but then the dog came straight to me wagging the tail.

I don't know what the heck else to do with a found dog at 4 AM. I brought it inside for a little water and cheese.

Now I'm just waiting til the Front Desk people get in.

Say a group of Muslims rediscover the Qayyum'al-Asma and get inspired, could they rise up and propagate their understanding or does it fall apart immediately without Bahá'úlláh?

How do you understand this?

"O handmaid of the Lord! Speak thou no word of politics; thy task concerneth the life of the soul, for this verily leadeth to man's joy in the world of God. Except to speak well of them, make thou no mention of the earth's kings, and the worldly governments thereof..."

Parlo inglese, italiano e spagnolo a livello madrelingua. Potrei essere una risorsa preziosa per lavorare in hotel? Mi scuso per la scarsa qualità del post, ma sono solo curioso e non conosco molte persone, quindi mi sono affidato alla community italiana di Reddit.

Mi piacerebbe sentire altre esperienze. Siete rispettati e apprezzati dalla direzione o dagli ospiti, oppure vi sentite maltrattati ? Qual è la retribuzione media? Qual è lo stipendio massimo che si può guadagnare?

The first Local Spiritual Assembly of the Native Peoples of America

The Guardian Shoghi Effendi was incredibly happy for this photo so much that he had it on his night stand.

Does anyone know if we know their names?

If any Bahá'í or even better yet a native western Bahá'í can talk about what happened. Has there been resolution after all these years?
