The one thing that concerned me was the spiritual, intellectual nature of humanity without the arts being included. The arts bridges the gap between the intellect and spiritual nature and incorporate our emotions which another aspect of a integrated life of a healthy human being. And with the creative expression of our wholestic nature we can accompany one another in uncovering many incredible symphonies that can usher us into a new more spiritual and harmonious way of life.
32:00 The intellectual foundations of the present civilization may be entirely sound but somehow give rise to such a defective order. What has happened to pervert that ancient wisdom "is an appeal for careful and rational analysis in the light of Baha'u'llah's Revelation of today's reality and the historical forces at work." Including the "intellectual foundations of culture." 45:20 Orthodox materialist scientism versus "painstaking, spiritually illumined scientific and philosophical inquiry." "elaboration of sound methodology." 48:10 Baha'i Consultation: collective investigation of reality. Critical thinking without criticism. 49:40 Appreciation of genius without entitlement of elitism. I promote an intellectuality that embodies an alignment of mind, emotion, intuition, instinct, sensation; authentic in origin, disciplined in practice and expressive more and more deeply of the light of Baha'u'llah's Revelation. I love Mr. Arbab's vision of an etyologically sound use of language increasing more complex thought accessible to multitudes.
