What angels are according to the Bahai faith

" By "angels" is meant those who, reinforced by the power of the spirit, have consumed, with the fire of the love of God, all human traits and limitations, and have clothed themselves with the attributes of the most exalted Beings and of the Cherubim... And now, inasmuch as these holy beings have sanctified themselves from every human limitation, have become endowed with the attributes of the spiritual, and have been adorned with the noble traits of the blessed, they therefore have been designated as "angels."

(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 78)

The meaning of 'angels' is the confirmations of God and His celestial powers. Likewise angels are blessed beings who have severed all ties with this nether world, have been released from the chains of self and the desires of the flesh, and anchored their hearts to the heavenly realms of the Lord.These are of the Kingdom, heavenly; these are of God, spiritual; these are revealers of God's abounding grace; these are dawning-points of His spiritual bestowals.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 80)

By 'angel' is meant the power of the confirmations of God -- that the candle of God's confirming power shineth out from the lamp-niche of those souls -- meaning that every one of those beings will be granted the most vehement confirming support.

When praiseworthy qualities and high morals emanate from man, he becometh a heavenly being, an angel of the Kingdom, a divine reality and a celestial effulgence.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 286)

A meaning of the Adam and Eve story and more

Abdul Baha says this is one of the meanings of the biblical story of Adam

Adam is the spirit of Adam, and Eve is His soul; the tree of good and evil signifies the human world, and the serpent is that attachment to this world which constitutes sin, and which has infected the descendants of Adam. This attachment of the spirit to the human world led the soul and spirit of Adam from the world of freedom to the world of bondage and caused Him to turn from the Kingdom of Unity to the human world. When the soul and spirit of Adam entered the human world, He came out from the paradise of freedom and fell into the world of bondage. From the height of purity and absolute goodness, He entered into the world of good and evil. 

The tree of life is the highest degree of the world of existence: the position of the Word of God, and the supreme Manifestation. When the sanctified breezes of Christ and the holy light of the Greatest Luminary (Bahá'u'lláh)] were spread abroad, the human realities (those who turned toward the Word of God and received the profusion of His bounties) were saved from this attachment and sin, obtained everlasting life, were delivered from the chains of bondage, and attained to the world of liberty. They were freed from the vices of the human world, and were blessed by the virtues of the Kingdom. This is the meaning of the words of Christ, "I gave My blood for the life of the world" [Cf. John 6:51.]--that is to say, I have chosen all these troubles, these sufferings, calamities, and even the greatest martyrdom, to attain this object, the remission of sins (that is, the detachment of spirits from the human world, and their attraction to the divine world) in order that souls may arise who will be the very essence of the guidance of mankind, and the manifestations of the perfections of the Supreme Kingdom.http://bahai-library.com/writings/abdulbaha/saq/30.html

Regarding thy question as to the beginning of Creation: Know thou that the Truth (GOD) has eternally ever been, and so also have His creatures, for there is no beginning either for the Truth (God) or for the creatures. According to the bodies in the contingent world, the "beginning" mentioned in the Holy Scriptures means the beginning of the Manifestation, and "creation" signifies the Second Spiritual Birth: as Christ says, "You must be born again." There is no doubt that the beginning of this Spiritual creation was the Manifestation Himself, for each Manifestation of the Divine Manifestations is the Adam (of His time,) and His first believer is Eve, while all the souls who are born of the Second Birth are His children and descendents.

Ezekiel 18:14-20 explicitly rejects inheritance of sin:https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+18:14-20

Abdul Baha says that women in the holy scriptures means the soul of man and the man means the spirit. No wonder it says men should rule over women.

Planter sommerfugler liker

Jeg savner å se flere sommerfugler. Man kan gjøre hagen sin til et sted sommerfuglen kan lage barn og trives. Her er en link til en liste over planter de liker:http://www.hagegal.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65:sommerfugler-i-hagen&catid=71:artikler-om-sommerfugler&Itemid=140

Normally not spontaneous

Feeling twice as stupid as normal
when saying things twice
because I speak what I think
before I say it.
That's how it is not being spontaneous.

New age bullshit

There is a lot of it, but now I am only going to focus on one thing that is bullshit in the all so familiar new age evasive way. The fear versus love-thing. You have heard it oh so many times before: Choose love, not fear. It then sounds like fear is of no value, but that isn't true. You chose love because fear don't give you much choice. Like, if you are an alcoholic. What makes you stop drinking? Is it the love for your body or the fear of the damage you cause it that comes first? Of course fear comes first, or you would never have been drinking in the first place.

An anorexic doesn't suddenly start caring about her body and start eating. It starts with fear. It is when the fear of death and pain is stronger than the fear of gaining weight she makes a change. When she is pushed with fear to a more loving attitude then she may experience love for her body and continue "choosing love". 

The reason you don't punch the guy that pisses you off in the face isn't the love you feel for him. It is the fear of the consequences. You choose love because you are afraid not to.

Fear is used in religion for guidance, and a lot of people hate religion because of it, but it is very useful when it is done in a right way. There is love in a warning. To not say anything when you see someone go down a path of destruction is the opposite of love. Even though love is giving everybody freedom, to share knowledge doesn't contradict that.

Kundalini, sexuality and control (higher and lower will)

I have written about this before, but this is a new compilation on the subject of kundalini.

I have had a rise in kundalini in two periods of time. As a new Bahai (23 years), and later lasting almost 2 years. As a new Bahai and very fond of nature I learned about sexuality as something very close to earth, like I also found God in nature. I then learned to accept this force as something stronger than me I should not try to control how to move (or suppress). I felt my pride go (and shame related to sexuality was rinsed out) when i tried to understand its will. It was hard to understand then because my intuition was not developed much yet.

The next time it happened several years later I understood the purity of sexual energy, worked through my fear of mens sexuality and found my own. I also found my authenticity. It made it impossible to go against my conviction. I couldn't grasp thoughts normally in this state so God sendt visions to my questions.

Even though I was filled to the edge with sexual energy every day I never touched myself. I focused on it every day, felt the energy as a meditation object to make it even stronger to challange myself. I also had a hope it would give me more energy for physical activity in general, but that didn't happen. You can't exercise on sexual energy.

Once every 6 weeks when I wasn't able to control myself anymore because the energy was so tense and overwhelming I let my control go to the energy. The sexual energy had a will on its own and I subjected to it as a way of working on my control issues. I understood the will in it was the same as Gods will. My intuition was much stronger at this point. The energy wanted to heal my body. So when I moved my body the way it wanted me to (a little similar to yoga asanas in a slow pace) I perceived it as making love with God, and when I moved my body in these odd positions the energy could fill up every fibre of my body. When I was filled I felt the energy go over to a higher plane and the tension was gone. This practise could take quite a while.

A new 6 weeks with meditation and no touching followed, increasing the tension once again till the unbearable.
