DAY 2804: Write about a strange experience that you've had - one that can't be explained rationally.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a strange experience or if it's a normal experience that happens to other people all the time. I know it happens to me quite often. In fact, it happened again this morning. It could be that it's just the residue of a dream I had before waking up. Anyway it concerns verses of scripture or lines of poetry that run through my mind. This morning, it was a scripture verse about Progressive Revelation. The verse is still running through my mind, and it will be on my mind for the rest of the day.

"...This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future..."
Baha'u'llah12

Progressive Revelation is the concept that God never leaves humanity without spiritual guidance. Throughout the ages God has sent Divine Prophets or Manifestations3 to guide the human race on its next stage of spiritual evolution. Each of these Manifestations have come at the point in history they were most needed--when Divine Light was hidden by the veils of materialism, superstitions, and dogma. Each one had a specific mission, and reflected the Holy Spirit's Light to humanity. Each one foretold the arrival of a Manifestation who would bring peace and unity to Earth.

Some of the Divine Manifestation God has sent are, Moses, Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddha, Muhammad, Christ, and--God's latest's Manifestations--The Bab, and Baha'u'llah. Baha'is belief that Baha'u'llah is the one foretold by other other Manifestations to bring unity and peace to Earth and humanity.
