Saturday Contemplations on Various Subjects

Jalál (Glory), 10 Sulṭán (Sovereignty) 174 B.E. - Saturday, January 27, 2018

“All the people of the world are, as thou dost observe, in the sleep of negligence. They have forgotten God altogether. They are all busy in war and strife. They are undergoing misery and destruction. The souls who have been enlightened with the light of the Kingdom, however, have founded eternal sovereignty. They shine, like unto the stars, upon the horizon of everlasting glory”

Abdu'l-Bahá

Sovereignty Prayer-Meditation

Oh Thou All-Merciful
assist humanity to shine
like a star on the horizon of sovereignty
and reveal to the dark souls the Glory of God.

The Last Saturday in January 2018

It is the last Saturday in January 2018, I review the things goals I have achieved, and the goals I have not achieved. I am on Part 48 of the series "God Speaks Again"1 by Kenneth E. Bowers. I am not going to look at the articles I have left to read because it will just stress me. When I get stressed I tend to procrastinate, which means I usually play online solitaire games of some type. Since I want to avoid those games (they waste time) I will not look ahead, but instead keep pushing on in an effort to finish this series in February.

The other series, on BahaiTeachings.org2, I want to read this years is " Figuring Out Prophecy"3 by Christopher Buck. These are not the only series of articles I want to read, however, I will finish these before beginning too many of the other articles I am interested in. The only exception I will make has to do with new article series beginning this year.
