Confucius said, “Study the past if you would define the future.”
Mahatma Gandhi said: “In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.”
“Change is inevitable. In a progressive country change is constant.” Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Great Britain 1867
“Many people sit around waiting for the world to discover them and that rarely happens. If you move towards your goals, expressing all your power, opportunity will find you as a result of your actions. For by riding your energy, knowing and believing your higher self is with you, you will be in the right place at the right time.” Stuart Wilde
We got our inspiration from a number of sources.
The following are not part of AlterQuest, however we have found them personally inspirational and for your consideration we list them here.
The Bahà’ì Faith
"The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens." Baha'u'llah, Founder of Baha'i Faith.
The entire universe - from the smallest atom, to the cells in our bodies or the largest galaxy - all adhere to a guiding principle. This principle states that everything has a conscious desire to improve itself and to reach the highest point of its potential.
Not only has everything in this existence been meticulously created but the laws which govern them indicate that there must be a higher intelligence with an organizational ability.
For millenniums, generations of humanity have sought to find the purpose of their existence and the direction their lives should take.
Just as our societies have evolved and changed, growing to make new forms of social interaction, technological advances and scientific discovery, so our spiritual faith needs to be renewed and encouraged, ready for new insights which will help us grow into a mature race of beings which can progress and live in harmony.
The Bahà’ì Faith is the latest Guidance in this progressive connection - a connection offered by a Creator, through the Founders of the World’s Faiths, to humanity.
Throughout recorded history mankind has been given guidance. Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad and the Bàb were the instigators of new faiths which we knew as religions.
The latest Messenger of God is Bahà’u’llàh, who lived during the 19th century.
The Messengers all reiterated the same truth - that we should love God and love one another and mankind should be honest, truthful, kind, trustworthy and humble.
Only the social teachings of each religion were different: This is because they were meant for a particular time and place.
Now we are all part of a world society and new laws are necessary.
“The Great Being saith: O ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst man…”
The Bahà’ì Faith represents a distinctive unification of spiritual thought and ask us all, as individuals, communities and members of a global society to consult and work together to help make life better for ourselves and for everyone.
