About Me
No big secrets here! I just keep trying to live life to the best of my limited ability as it presents itself. I believe that the independent investigation of truth is the best way for developing an effective belief system and not by following the dictates of another, especially if its only validation is that it is tradition ...
Favorite Prayer: God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.
Favourite Quotes:
1.) I am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence hath reared. I am the Lamp which the Finger of God hath lit within its niche and caused to shine with deathless splendour.

We invite you to read the mystical writings of our beloved faith, and then, wherever you journey, may this blessing of Bahá'u'lláh go with you: "Peace be upon him that inclineth his ear unto the melody of the Mystic Bird calling from the Sadratu'l-Muntahá!" (the Divine Lote-Tree, the tree to which there is no passing) ... (Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Íqan, p257)
2.) O peoples of the earth! Verily the resplendent Light of God hath appeared in your midst, invested with this unerring Book, that ye may be guided aright to the ways of peace and, by the leave of God, step out of the darkness into the light and onto this far-extended Path of Truth. (Compilations, Fire and Light, p. 15) ...
3.) No matter how degraded an alcoholic may be, there abides somewhere deep within him, a deathless urge to reach out of the sordidness, deceit, folly, ignorance, and sham of this world to grasp that elusive something that spells kinship with the lovely in life. - Father John Doe ...
