This post contains an extremely potent video called “Did You Know?”
Even if you’ve seen it, it certainly bears re-watching…
Also, I’m going to change my usual format. I normally end a post with a Spiritual Quote. Today, I’ll begin with two quotes; to set up a context for the video…
The first quote broadly considers the global situation the video addresses:
“It has become clear that the powers of the institution of the nation-state, once the arbiter and protector of humanity’s fortunes, have been drastically eroded. While national governments continue to play a crucial role, they must now make room for such rising centres of power as multinational corporations, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations of every kind, and huge media conglomerates, the cooperation of all of which is vital to the success of most programmes aimed at achieving significant economic or social ends. Just as the migration of money or corporations encounters little hindrance from national borders, neither can the latter any longer exercise effective control over the dissemination of knowledge. Internet communication, which has the ability to transmit in seconds the entire contents of libraries that took centuries of study to amass, vastly enriches the intellectual life of anyone able to use it, as well as providing sophisticated training in a broad range of professional fields. The system, so prophetically foreseen sixty years ago by Shoghí Effendí, builds a sense of shared community among its users that is impatient of either geographic or cultural distances.”
Commissioned by The Universal House of Justice, Century of Light, p. 132
The second quote is what Shoghí Effendí so prophetically said over sixty years ago:
“A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity.”
Shoghí Effendí, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 203

Random facts of knowledge! Well, hooray for advancement, and I liked the soundtrack.
For some the message needs a good soundtrack and “modern” presentation…
I liked watching the video,and my thought is about Computers are useless,they can only give you anwsers,there are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions are they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.!
Thank you for your comment, Catherine.
How can we develop a winning determination and steadfastness when we feel stuck or overwhelmed with uncertainty?
When we feel stuck or overwhelmed is exactly the time we need winning determination and steadfastness–one must overtake the other…
Permanence,perseverance and persistance in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossiblities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.!!!
Amen! Which means “So may it be”.
Thank you, Catherine!!!
Very thought provoking, thankyou, will show it tonight at our tranquility zone on Civilisation Building, to start discussion on exactly that question, what does it mean? To see the end in the beginning – all the knowledge in the world, can only bring us back to ourselves and an even greater motivation to ask the question, what can I do to make a positive difference?
Very good article, I am going to reblog this one for you.
Thank you, so much…
