I have sent this information around the world to NSAs , LSAs, and
Baha’i groups. At the end is a list of URLs with the longer article
about the third part of the Revelation of the Greatest Name. Loving

THE THIRD PART OF THE REVELATION OF THE GREATEST NAME
The Revelation of the Greatest Name BHA is not yet completed. The Bab
said He was the B of the Greatest Name and the Baha’’u’’llah said He
repesented the B and the H, or in other words the next part of the
Revelation. He said:"He Who now voiceth the Word of God is none other
except the Primal Point Who hath once again been made manifest." Cited
in World Order of Baha'u'llah, p. 139 ---In the book Selections from
the Writings of E.G. Browne, p. 215, the Bab is cited as referring to
Himself as "the (Letter) Ba which permeates the water of the Letters,
and the Point which stands at the Gate of the two Alifs" The two Alifs
indicate two Manifestations to follow His revelation, Baha'u'llah
being the first to appear. The Revelation of Baha'u'llah is the same
as that of the Bab, the Revelation of the Greatest Name. Baha'u'llah
states at the end of the Kitab-i-Iqan , "Revealed by the `Ba' and the
`Ha". The Bab being the Ba (B) and Baha'u'llah the Ha (H) of the
Greatest Name, BHA, with the Alif (A) soon to follow.
Perhaps the concept of a Manifestation coming whenever humanity
reaches a certain point of spiritual capacity, whether it be after
nine or a thousand years, is new to many believers. In the Kitab-i-
Aqdas Baha’’u’’llah states that there will not be a new REVELATION for
a thousand years, and it seems that most Baha’’is change the word
Revelation to Manifestation, and so are veiled as were the Babis who
did the same when the Bab promised that a new Manifestation would
appear every 1000 years, and He also remarked that Muhammad appeared
only 700 years after Christ. This indicated that God could also send a
Manifestation before 1000 years. Yet when Baha’’u’’llah declared His
Message only 19 years after the Bab, many Babi’’s denounced Him, to
which He replied:
." O ye who are inly blind! Whether too soon or too late, the
evidences of His effulgent glory are now actually manifest. It
behoveth you to ascertain whether or not such a light hath appeared.
It is neither within your power nor mine to set the time at which it
should be made manifest. God's inscrutable Wisdom hath fixed its hour
beforehand. Be content, O people, with that which God hath desired for
you and predestined unto you." (Gleanings p 103)
Only a limited number of souls had acquired the capacity for the
immediate acceptance of Baha’’u’’llah and more advanced Teachings,
others followed later. New levels of thinking and spiritual evolution
always seem to shine forth first in a few special, spiritual souls,
and then, gradually, the rest of humanity follows. Soon the third
Letter of the Revelation of the Greatest Name BHA’’ will be revealed.
(Composed of these three letters in Arabic)
First of all note that many of the Teachings revealed by Baha'u'llah
were too advanced for this time, but were intended for later ! "So
prolific was this period, that during the first two years after His
return from His retirement, according to the testimony of Nabil, who
was at that time living in Baghdad, the unrecorded verses that
streamed from His lips averaged, in a single day and night, the
equivalent of the Qur'an! As to those verses which He either dictated
or wrote Himself, their number was no less remarkable than either the
wealth of material they contained, or the diversity of subjects to
which they referred. A vast, and indeed the greater, proportion of
these writings were, alas, lost irretrievably to posterity. No less an
authority than Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah's amanuensis, affirms, as
reported by Nabil, that by the express order of Baha'u'llah, hundreds
of thousands of verses, mostly written by His own hand, were
obliterated and cast into the river. "Finding me reluctant to execute
His orders," Mirza Aqa Jan has related to Nabil, "Baha'u'llah would
reassure me saying: 'None is to be found at this time worthy to hear
these melodies.' ...Not once, or twice, but innumerable times, was I
commanded to repeat this act."
(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 137) Baha'u'llah went on to say:
"Know verily that the veil hiding Our countenance hath not been
completely lifted. We have revealed Our Self to a degree corresponding
to the capacity of the people of Our age. Should the Ancient Beauty be
unveiled in the fullness of His glory mortal eyes would be blinded by
the dazzling intensity of His revelation." Baha'u'llah cited in The
World Order of Baha'u'llah, 1944 ed., page 116
That there are three Letters of the one Name of God indicates,
symbolically, that these are not independent Revelations, but parts of
one great Revelation from one God, one Cause of God. In each
succeeding Manifestation all the Letters and perfections of the
previous Manifestations are present and manifest. Consider this
statement of the Guardian
"Near the end of the formative period the nations will unite of their
own volition and with the non-commitant expansion of the Cause, become
merged into the fabric of the World Order of Baha'u'llah. There will
be another Manifestation before this will happen." Haifa Notes of Wm
Allison, 1957 Obviously the world civilization cannot continue without
a world government in the near future, because of the conflict between
nations, the worldwide destruction of the environment that grows
continually worse, and the dangerous mal distribution of wealth.
The Bab wrote:" Regard any people. In truth they all believe that they
are searching for God. All desire God's pleasure! They certainly do
not desire to go against God's pleasure. Nevertheless, they all act
and have acted against what is true. Look at the letters of the
Psalms, then the letters of the Bible, then the letters of the Gospel,
then the letters of the Quran, then the letters of the Bayan, then the
letters of the Book of Him Whom God shall manifest (ie. Baha'u'llah).
From the highest to the most humble, they all imagine that they are
searching for God's pleasure and that they have certitude and insight
in His Religion; yet all, in the presence of Him Who will be
manifested (ie. The third Letter of the Revelation of the Greatest
Name, the Alif) after Him Who God shall manifest (i.e. Baha'u'llah,
the second Letter of the Revelation of the Greatest Name BHA) are like
the letters of the previous Books in the presence of the witnesses of
the Bayan."
Bab, in a Tablet translated by A.L.M. Nicholas
The third Manifestation of the Revelation of the Greatest Name will
soon appear, and the indications that the "end times" are now here is
obvious. Baha’’u’’llah wrote: "The world is in travail, and its
agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness
and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would
not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. and when
the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which
shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. THEN and ONLY THEN, will
the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise
warble its melody." Gleanings, p. 118 The Divine Standard is the Word
of God ("Had the divine standard laid down in the Qur'áán been truly
observed, adverse judgements would not have been pronounced against
Him Who is the Tree of divine Truth." The Bab, Selections from the
Writings of the Bab, p. 102) and the Nightingale of Paradise is the
Revealer of that Word, the Alif. ( He is the King, the All-Knowing,
the Wise! Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise singeth upon the twigs of
the Tree of Eternity, with holy and sweet melodies, proclaiming to the
sincere ones the glad tidings of the nearness of God, Compilations,
Baha'i Prayers, p. 208)
In the New Testament, in the book of Matthew, chap 24, we read:
"Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and then
shall the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Baha'u'llah also states : "These fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars
shall pass away, and the 'Most Great Peace' shall come.... These
strifes and this bloodshed and discord must cease, and all men be as
one kindred and one family." "Soon," He predicts, "will the present-
day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead." "After
a time," He also has written, "all the governments on earth will
change. Oppression will envelop the world. And following a universal
convulsion, the Sun of Justice will rise from the horizon of the
unseen realm." ( The Promised Day is Come, p. 116) The Sun of Justice
is the Revealer of God's Word and the unseen realm is the realm of the
Holy Spirit.
The general area of the world where the last Manifestation of the
Revelation of the Greatest Name will appear is indicated in these
quotations. "The Hour will not come , until the Sun arises in the
West, and all men seeing it will believe." Hadith of Muhammad cited in
Shorter Encyclopedia of Islam, p.256------"Issue forth from your
cities, O peoples of the West and aid your God ere the Day when the
Lord of mercy shall come down unto you in the shadow of the
clouds..."The Bab cited in Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p.
56-----"Unveil thy face, O beauty of the Lord, that the Sun may arise
in the West..." Baha'u'llah, cited in Haifa Notes of May
Maxwell======"If the sun arises in the west, it would still be the
same sun: one must not withdraw from it on account of its rising place
nor consider the west to be always the place of sunset." Abdu'l-Baha
in Some Answered Questions, Chap. 14====="At the third resurrection
the sun will rise from the West." A Hadith of Muhammad cited in The
Heavenly Table, p. 25 "Should success crown your enterprise, America
will surely evolve into a center from which waves of spiritual power
will emanate, and the throne of the Kingdom of God, will in the
plenitude of its majesty and glory, be firmly established." Abdu'l-
Baha cited in God Passes By pp 254-255

" In the Kitab-i-

a thousand years, and it seems that most Baha’’is change the word
Revelation to Manifestation, and so are veiled as were the Babis who

Message only 19 years after the Bab, many Babi’’s denounced Him, to
which He replied:"

[SNIP]

Section 5 of the Aqdas speaks to the fact that the Aqdas is not "a meagre
code of laws" and in terms of moderation is implicitly a loose guide to
contemplation of the Rose Line. Specifically:

"Think not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of laws. Nay, rather,
We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power. To
this beareth witness that which the Pen of Revelation hath revealed.
Meditate upon this, O men of insight!"
(Baha'u'llah: The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Page: 21)

In this sense, the Aqdas, is alluded to as Baha'u'llah's topics of interest,
and if set in context of the Baha'i Maxim (from Ninth Ishraq, the Covenant,
PHW3, etc.) this allusion can be taken with specific regard to the
contemplation of Empathic Principle (the Rose Line - IE the "Rose of Love"
Persian Hidden Words, 3). Eg:

"From My laws the sweet-smelling savour of My garment can be smelled, and by
their aid the standards of Victory will be planted upon the highest peaks."
(Baha'u'llah: The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Page: 20)

If this is so, the question is as to what is the number of moderation? My
guess is the Golden Mean (Symbolic linkages: not based on meaning: Golden
Mean...Golden Rule...Empathic Principle) - & out pops a date: ISO:
2005-Jan-07

In terms of the Baha'i Maxim ("The religion of God is for love and unity",
in Kitab-i-Ahd IE "The Book of the Covenant"), Aqdas 1 is problematic and
within the Aqdas, the "Choice Wine" statement comes at 5, well after, which
can be argued to speak to priority. So we are left with a coin-toss argument
on either side: the "Blade" (after Chalice and Blade symbolism) that divides
the side of "Armageddon" - IE dividing the separate causes of
introversion/liberalism and extroversion/fundamentalism once religion decays
into a "cause" rather than the contemplation of the empathic way.

An apparent problem with Aqdas 1 is that it either contradicts the Baha'i
Maxim as cited above, or if taken as a reference to Empathic Principle or
more specifically the "Rose of Love" (IE conscience by empathy), the gender
is wrong because the rose is typically feminine in sacred symbolism. The
"fountain of [divine] laws" and "dayspring of revelation" in context of the
Empathic Principle as a Maxim is a specific reference to the conscience (IE
the "Rose Line" or the "Rose of Love"). Note the distinction between good
and righteousness:

"The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him
Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who
representeth the Godhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world of
creation. Whoso achieveth this duty hath attained unto all good; and whoso
is deprived thereof hath gone astray, though he be the author of every
righteous deed. It behoveth everyone who reacheth this most sublime
station, this summit of transcendent glory, to observe every ordinance of
Him Who is the Desire of the world. These twin duties are inseparable.
Neither is acceptable without the other. Thus hath it been decreed by Him
Who is the Source of Divine inspiration."
(Baha'u'llah: The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Page: 19)

The empathic principle or Golden Rule speaks to unconditional giving that
goes beyond justice. Also, Godhead in terms of Creation is strictly feminine
in gender as life is created (created not made; as in borne or begotten)
only by the female, whereas the male only serves genetic diversification. If
there is a male God, He is necessarily preceded by the Goddess - for She
being the Creator, gave birth to him or to aught that begot Him (IE the
"Kingdom of His Cause"). This is a matter of biological definition in that
many organisms have no males and are propagated entirely by females (Eg.
Many bacteria, protozoa, etc.) that preceded the male gender in the
evolution of life. Cause as a political word has no place in such a
statement and so it can also be taken to refer to the originator or Creator
of God in the masculine sense.

Just a few quick thoughts on the subject....

Bingo! "As above, so below" - the Emerald Tablet of Hermes

And here is where the contemporary Neo-Pagans are also severely out to
lunch in horizontalizing the necessarily vertical creative principle.
Godhead in so far as It becomes Kosmocrator is absolutely a Feminine
Creatrix principle, not masculine at all. In Greek mythology Rhea
precedes Kronos. In theosophical Kabbalah the Shekinah is not merely a
metaphor for the community of Yishrael, It is literally Adonai El
Shaddai/the Lord Almighty Who theophanizes Itself as the Archangel of
the Countenace Yahoel/Metatron (i.e. the Archangel Who appeared to
Moses at Sinai as both the burning bush as well as the Voice bestowing
the Law). In the heterodox esoteric Shi'ism of the Nusayris, Fatima is
literally the manifestation of the Kosmocrater/al-fatir and the
Greater Mary (maryam al-kubra) Who manifests as the Hidden Pole and
Transubstantiated Christ at the pivotal moment during the mubahila/
public execration by the People of the Cloak against the Arab
Christians of Najran. Just as the male Christ transubstantiates at Mt
Tabor to his disciples revealing Elijah and Moses; in this story It is
Fatima Herself Who transubstantiates as the Return of Mary and
convinces the Najranian Christians of the veracity of Her Father's
Paraclete-hood, who then immediately upon beholding this Vision submit
en masse to Islam. The symbolism is profound here, since it is the
feminine shakti/power in its metaphysicality within Fatima qua Mary
returned which Transubstantiates (mutajalli), not the masculine
principle: as the other four members of the People of the Cloak/ahl al-
kissa (Her Father, Two Sons and 'Ali) are all totally passive in the
climax and denoument of this episode. The Shakti is the power and
creative principle here: a fact noted in the Shaktipat schools of
Tantrism which precede all religions of India. Yet this Feminine
Godhead is in no way the silly, fluffy and ridiculous blather imaged
by the new age morons. In Its Tantric form it is the Kali-Ma, Mother
Kali, which transmuted back to its Abrahamic symbolism,

http://gnosticfatima.blogspot.com/
"Fatima, who is holding a sword in her hand and is also named El
Zahrā, "the brilliant/effulgent," has an essential eschatological role
to play--she will restore justice through irreconcilable vengeance. She
will appear at the final judgment with flowing hair to demand justice
for the murder of her children; she will appear against those
responsible for the premature delivery of her last son, Mohsin, whose
blood drenched body she carries in her arms; she will appear against
those who poisoned her eldest son Hassan and slew her second son
Hossein in Karbala. In this image, then, she is essentially the
embodiment of divine retribution, just as she was the embodiment of
selectivity at the beginning of time; for those who love her and her
successors, who are already thereby assured of paradise. She is the
sād, the letter which symbolizes the pre-eternal purity of the elect."

In the dramaturgy of Eden, retold and tweaked by the Essence of the
Seven Letters in His first major work, the Commentary on the Surah of
the Cow (2): Fatima is the Tree of Reality through which all things
emerge. Echoing an Ophite Gnostic narrative of the story of Eden, the
Fall occurs here as a drama set in heaven in illo tempore as an act of
ingratitude committed by Adam when he fails to approach the Tree of
Reality correctly with due reverence - which is a cipher for his wife,
Eve (Who in the Gnostic narrative of the Apocalypse of Adam is
actually the True Manifestation; the Tree being the symbol of the
Godhead; the Serpent being the symbol of the Logos and Eve Its
embodiment, i.e. the True Gnostic Trinity of the Tree, the Serpent and
Eve). In this commentary on the Surah of the Cow, the ESL denotes
Fatima as the archetypal depth of the Divine Exclusive Oneness
(lujjat'ul-ahadiya). This is amazingly significant, since the
Exclusive Oneness (ahadiya) of the Godhead denotes the first Self-
Disclosure (tajalli) of the Hidden Essence and Ipseity. This cipher
points to Fatima as the instantiation of the Godhead in Its highest
aspect. How an Iranian Twelver Shi'ite of the 19th century would have
known about Nusayri speculations regarding the Divine Nature of
Fatima, let alone access to Ophite Gnostic narratives regarding the
story of Eden (which until the recovery of the texts at Nag Hammadi
weren't even known about), is anyone's guess other than to the true
Adept!

What this to do with Husayn 'Ali Nari is this: where the true
alchemical and metaphysical symbolism of the Creatrix Godhead is
concerned, that idiot couldn't hold a candle to the Essence of the
Seven Letters Who was capable of transmuting (from on High) totally
foreign esoteric narratives and symbolisms into a primarily Twelver
Shi'ite matrix of narrative. That is *story telling* (as the
Aborigines conceive 'story telling') at its very best, something
Husayn 'Ali was tout court incapable of!
