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..."

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?
Because it does jack shit. I'll repeat that. Jack. Shit.
No longer will a human mark off a HIPAA violation or a missed step or EVEN the right work process. You can do a billion wrong things and the AI will never know. It's checking"call flow". Did the customer sound happy by the end of the call?
For example it grades if the agent responds with the correct response.
For example a "thank you" should be responded by "my pleasure"
"I'm very angry at your company" should be responded with "I'm sorry".
AI gives random feedback like "when you put them on hold you should have been more transparent of hold time". It tries in vain to be useful. It's almost as if it doesn't know what kind of product we ship. In fact I know it doesn't know the product we ship. Never have I once heard it mention an industry specific term.
Fuck it. I don't care. I'd rather a useless QA system than one that marks people off for silly mistakes that have no bearing on the overall customer service.
I give excellent customer service and they ask to speak with me because I'm one of the few agents who cares.
I thought this group might enjoy talking about the subject :)
The following article was written by Behrooz Sabet for your consideration.

Recently, with the release of documents on UFOs or UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) by the U.S. government, a flurry of news, reports, and analysis regarding extraterrestrial life and the potential for intelligent life beyond Earth has dominated the media. These developments and findings have also reawakened discourse on religious and spiritual dimensions and their social, political, cultural, and psychological impact on humanity.
Here is a personal, reflective view of this topic from a Baha’i perspective.
1- Humanity's Longstanding Fascination with Life Beyond Earth
Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have looked up at the sky and wondered what could be out there. This natural curiosity toward the unknown has shaped scientific and technological progress, and the quest to explore our place in the universe has been part and parcel of every civilization. Hence, there is nothing unusual or anomalous about this. In every major historical change, elements of the unknown, surprise, and even the unconventional have been present.
2- The Harmony of Science and Religion
Briefly stated, religions are primarily about the spiritual and moral principles that should guide humanity. However, religions also make statements about the nature of reality and offer concepts concerning the physical and material dimensions of existence. From a Baha’i perspective, these statements should not be superimposed on scientific research. Theological and philosophical statements about the nature of reality are important and have interpretive power, but they need to be complemented by empirical findings.
3- Creation, Cosmology, and Extraterrestrial Life in the Bahá’í Writings
There are statements with extraterrestrial and cosmological orientations in Baha'i writings. For example, Baha’u’llah wrote:
“The learned men, that have fixed at several thousand years the life of this earth, have failed, throughout the long period of their observation, to consider either the number or the age of the other planets. Consider, moreover, the manifold divergencies that have resulted from the theories propounded by these men. Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute.” [1]
He also observed: “Look at the world and ponder a while upon it. It unveileth the book of its own self before thine eyes and revealeth that which the Pen of thy Lord, the Fashioner, the All-Informed, hath inscribed therein. It will acquaint thee with that which is within it and upon it, and will give thee such clear explanations as to make thee independent of every eloquent expounder.
Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment.”[2]
The Bahá’í writings contain numerous references to the vastness of the universe and the limitless character of creation. In light of such perspectives, it is reasonable to surmise that life and intelligence may extend far beyond the confines of our small planet.
4- Are extraterrestrials demons?
The recent release of UAP images that defy Earth-born technology has intensified some theological speculations that these are demons as described in the Bible. Demons are fallen angels, defined as spiritual entities who are subservient to Satan and are trying to oppose God and destroy humanity.
In the Bahá’í writings, the dichotomous concept of creation (the belief in the independent existence of two substantial realities: good and evil) is challenged by the idea of the non-existence of evil; evil is considered the absence of good, just as darkness is the absence of light. Good and evil, or Satan, refer to humanity’s lower nature or the insistent self. They reflect the spiritual states of human beings as being close to or far from the source of perfection, namely, God.
Likewise, Bahá’í teachings do not believe in angels or good spirits who can literally assume physical form. In the Bahá’í writings, angels are metaphors for selfless people who serve humanity. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá wrote:
“Angels are blessed beings who have severed all ties with this nether world, have been released from the chains of self and the desires of the flesh, and anchored their hearts to the heavenly realms of the Lord.”[3]
Sometimes, in defense of the idea of demons, it is argued that certain acts of evil are so heinous that only an external force could compel people to commit them. This view is often related to a lack of deep understanding of materialism and the destructive forces it can unleash in individual and collective life. The true "demons" of materialism, manifested through godlessness, spiritual emptiness, and the erosion of moral values, can penetrate every aspect of human behavior, influencing not only actions but also thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the structures of society itself. Rather than invoking demons, we may need to reflect more deeply on how profound the darkness of the human soul can become.
5- Expanding Theological Horizons
It is a sad state of affairs that, in the twenty-first century, when a breakthrough of this magnitude could potentially foster a greater consciousness of our shared humanity and strengthen human solidarity, we find ourselves reawakening the age of Scholasticism and reviving concepts of angelology and demonology.
Let us remember Galileo, whose discoveries expanded humanity's understanding of the universe and challenged the dominant theological assumptions of his time. The deeper lesson of Galileo is not that theology must retreat before expanding scientific horizons, but that it must broaden its own horizons and develop a richer understanding of reality.
If—and this remains an important if—there is intelligent life beyond Earth, it may require a profound rethinking of some of our theological dogmas and inherited assumptions. That, in a sense, is the very essence of theology: not the defense of fixed interpretations, but the continual expansion of humanity's understanding of creation and its relationship to the Divine.

I am now the proud owner of $20 worth of VOO 🫡
Not sure why my income changed so crazily
I have 4000 hours in this game and I've never witnessed such a violent change in income. Going from +20 to +35.
Trying to figure out why. I'm wondering if my previous king corruption just ate a ton.
Has any scholar looked in detail at the following concept: "The Badi Language"
Veteran Baha'is may do a double take here. I'm not talking about the universal language which will be determined in the future. I'm talking about something very mysterious called the "Badi language" which Baha'u'llah said is the language "used by the denizens of one of the worlds of God".
Mirza Aqa Jan further related to Nabil that, one day in Kazimayn, when both he and Aqa Muhammad-Hasan-i-Isfahani were in the presence of Baha'u'llah, in the house of Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid-i-Shirazi, He asked the host whether he wished to hear the Badi' (Unique) language, which, He said, was the language used by the denizens of one of the worlds of God. He then proceeded to chant in that language. Mirza Aqa Jan said that hearing this language had a wonderful effect on the listener. One day, Mirza Aqa Jan related, Baha'u'llah said to Haji 'Abdu'l-Majid: 'Haji, you have heard the Badi' language, [p. 114] and witnessed God's supremacy over His worlds. Render thanks for this bounty and appreciate its worth.' "

Sorry for the low quality post but I can't get any information on the distribution. Their main website doesn't say and ChatGPT basically said none.
It's Roundhills version of CHPY launched April 2026.
I'm 99.99% sure it's meant to have a distribution but it's so new there's not a lot of information.
