I was maybe 29, 30 years old, and I knew that there's not room in this universe for me to give in to cynicism and pessimism and nihilism. Of course it sits on us sometimes like a blanket and you have to kind of wrestle with it and figure out a way out. And I knew at that point I needed to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, frankly.

I'll share what is a uniquely Baha'i faith perspective on this.

So the Baha'i faith was founded in the mid 1800s in Iran, Persia. The prophet founder of the Baha'i faith was given the title Baha'u'llah, which means the glory of God. Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah holds a station similar to those of the great prophet teachers of the ages.

Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Lord Krishna, the Buddha, Zoroaster, all of these great spiritual teachers come from the same source, the one source, what we in the Baha'i faith call the unknowable essence, God, for lack of a better word. this unknowable essence is so vast and so unknowable and beyond human understanding.

I compare it sometimes like we're like dogs trying to figure out the internet. A dog on a keyboard can't figure out chat GPT and how it works, right? It's a comprehension on a whole other level. That's like us trying to understand the divine. So we need these interpreters. We need these teachers to show us the path. So there's about 6 million Baha'is all around the globe.

It's fairly small as religion goes. It's pretty young, too, 150, 180 years old. But it is very widespread. Any country you go to, go to Barbados or Mongolia or Serbia, there's going to be Baha'is there gathering, serving, working in the neighborhoods. Hopefully. And Baha'u'llah's main mission was to bring about the unity of humanity. The teachings are all about unity.

It's all about we're all one human family. Prejudice and racism needs to go. Sexism needs to go. Men and women are two wings on the same bird, that we need the masculine and the feminine to move forward as a species. There's no inequality there, essential inequality there. That science and religion are also in harmony, that work together.
