Baha’i Texts
By means of rational proofs based upon Baha’i texts unbelief’s untenability is presented along with the onerous task of chronicling for posterity the damaging effects of disengagement on the part of Baha’i intellectuals regarding the fundamental Baha’i principle of a universal auxiliary language. Alerting them re their avowed duty to consult on it and to apply to it “the most urgent attention” constitutes a decades long labour of love taxing the capabilities of this amateur.

Fifty years ago, in Melbourne in our family home a Bahá’í teacher endeavoured unsuccessfully to teach my dear deceased parents the Faith. Imagine the astonishment a generation later when by coincidence as an unexpected seeker I darkened his threshold.
Six years later in the heyday of my life I pioneered for 53 weeks in Upper Silesia. Shortly after that 1995 interlude of ‘Cross Border Teaching’ into a dozen countries of Eastern Europe, old and new Cathay beckoned and nigh on a decade held me rapt - from Guangzhou to Huhehot and west of Xian, and into a dozen Chinese cities on the east coast – until, from her shores I plucked a most beautiful rose.
In recent years have you noticed books galore about atheism selling like hot cakes? What if God really does exist and the new atheism is no truer than the old version?

After all these centuries living under the yoke and the curse of racism who’d have thought that structural racism is terminated by the Baha’i principle of a universal auxiliary language, sadly the principle most sidelined by Baha’u’llah’s followers!
Racism Routed
A nine-page intro titled Racism Routed delineates just one of the seven astounding promises penned by Abdul Baha vis-à-vis Baha’u’llah’s universal auxlang principle. For the time-poor the same titled one-page handout is proffered
The Achilles’ Heel of Baha’i Leaders is a nine-page open letter in which I call on leading members of the Baha’i Faith in their influential role as individual followers of Baha’u’llah to attempt, at a minimum, to respond to the Esperanto community’s published criticisms of their inaction re the auxlang principle in general and their disobedience re Abdul Baha’s specific instructions re Esperanto.
From Babel to Baha’i
