I posted an introduction to the paradigmatic shift in the Baha'i community, the new culture of learning and growth that is at the heart of this paradigm, 18 to 24 months ago. I did this posting at several internet sites. It seemed like a good idea to give readers some specific steps on how to access this now revised article/essay at Baha?i Library Online(BLO).
In that two year period there have been many thousand views of my article at the few sites where it is posted. The steps to access my article are simple: (i) type Baha?i Library Online or Baha?i Academics Resource Library into your search engine; (ii) click on the small box ?By author? at the top of the access page at BLO; (iii) type ?Price? into the small box that then appears and click on the word ?Go;? and then (iv) scroll down to article/document item #46 and (v) click on that item and read to your heart?s content. When your eyes and your mind start to glaze over, stop reading. The article can be downloaded free and you will then have access to a revised article, a 150 page, 70,000 word context for all this new paradigmatic terminology that has come into the Baha?i community in the last 13 years.
The statement is a personal one, does not assume an adversarial attitude, attempts to give birth of as fine an etiquette of expression as I can muster and, I like to think, possesses both candour and critical thought. I invite readers to what I also like to think is ?a context on which relevant fundamental questions? regarding this new paradigm may be discussed within the Baha?i community. It is also my intention to update this article in the months and years ahead. One of the advantages of the BLO site is the freedom it gives to a writer to update the article at the site in an ongoing process as new insights and information comes to hand.-Ron Price, George Town, Tasmania
