Why are Baha’is desperate to share their faith?

If you want to catch a glimpse of the Bahá’í vision of the future, you could do worse that look at the Global Mindshift website, whose aim is:

Our purpose is to “contribute to the emerging global community,” and our mission is to “help make the emergence of global community unstoppable.”

(And perhaps you could join the Global Mindshift community - as I have just done).

Mindshifting memes

I want to recommend two mindshifting memes from Global Mindshift.

Adolescence of human race

Growing Up. In this video, futurist Duane Elgin has some very interesting things to say about the maturation of the human race. It seems that 75% of the people he asks about which stage of collective development (infancy, adolescence, adulthood, senior years) they think the human race has reached say “adolescence”

The human journey

The Human Journey uses the three stages of the mythological Hero’s Journey as a lens through which to trace the path of human development and the challenges we humans have to face right now if we and the planet are to survive.

Bahá’í teachings on world future

If you watch these videos you will get a sense of why Bahá’ís are so desperate to share the teachings of Bahá’u'lláh with all and sundry. The videos resonate very closely with the Bahá’í belief that it is time to build a new global civilization and that Bahá’u'lláh’s teachings are exactly the basis for this new civilization, based on unity and justice.
