The Preface explains that the author has posed as a journalist to interview the ultimate Source on a theme of interest to every awakening soul - the theme of their own identity, purpose for living, and method of making progress. The journalistic style is chosen for its pragmatic effectiveness to attract a mass readership rather than an academic style that can speak to only a small, specialized audience.

Produktbeschreibung
The Preface explains that the author has posed as a journalist to interview the ultimate Source on a theme of interest to every awakening soul - the theme of their own identity, purpose for living, and method of making progress. The journalistic style is chosen for its pragmatic effectiveness to attract a mass readership rather than an academic style that can speak to only a small, specialized audience. Throughout the book, the journalist is unrelenting in asking their six essential questions: 1. WHO is this rational soul that is seeking answers? 2. WHAT is the nature of spiritual development; what are its exact operations? 3. WHY would people be motivated to seek spiritual growth; what is the range of potential benefits? 4. WHEN does soul growth and expansion occur; under what circumstances? 5. WHERE do we find visible evidence of spiritual growth - as it occurs? And 6. HOW is such spiritual transformation accomplished? Specifically: HOW does knowledge prepare the way for soul growth? HOW does volition free the soul to grow by exercising its free will? And HOW does action finally develop the soul as it acts to change society and civilization for the better? Before launching into chapters on the classic six questions, the Introduction explains how God will reply. While the primordial way has been for humans to study the book of Nature, from time to time, God has also provided Divine Educators who revealed Sacred Writings as sources of wisdom. The author examines more than 200 extracts from Sacred Writings of the Bahá'í Faith to provide insights for the reader that redefine Faith in the soul, Hope in the practicality of spiritual progress, and divine Love as the elixir that makes all things possible.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Elaine McCreary is a member of the Bahá'í International Community. During the five years of her tenure in administrative positions at the Bahá'í World Centre, she had the privilege of studying the Bahá'í Faith intensively. She learned how this historically most recent, worldwide Faith maintains its essential, authoritative unity while accommodating cultural diversity in over 190 countries where its community is established. As she deepens her own understanding, she shares these insights with public audiences across Europe, the USA, and Canada. Her manner of public speaking makes even profound Sacred Writings readily accessible to thoughtful people of all ethnicities and cultures. While Canadian by birth and choice, she lived abroad for years, traveling to teach across Europe, in the Middle East, back home in Canada and the USA. Her experience has been that people from a wide variety of backgrounds, who are truly seeking to understand spiritual existence, eventually find themselves united in one Reality, as one people, in one common life. Dr. McCreary has lived the working life of tenured academic, civil servant, ex-pat administrator, sole provider, wife and mother, single parent, empty nester, and grandmother. She has found that all these ages, stages, and changes in roles across the life-span have provided a steady succession of social and material environments in which to experiment with spiritual experience. A spiritual investigator will use their own direct experience, while all the while observing the experience of others and reflecting with them on what they are learning. In 2025, she can be contacted via her teaching site at the mailbox elaine@personalartofliving.com She currently resides in the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia, Canada.
