Personal Transformation Through the Creative Word
by Ladjamaya Green Mahoney
Overview
Personal transformation is an individual process and responsibility.
We are blessed with vehicles which help us through this process and
to fall in love with Bahá’ú’lláh over
and over again on our spiritual journeys. One can achieve another plateau
of communion with God plus gain a greater understanding into their own
personal spiritual growth by studying Reading Bahá’ú’lláh’s
Words—A Guide to Reading and Understanding the Writings of Bahá’ú’lláh
by Melanie Sarachman Smith and William Diehl.
Abstract
a. We are individually responsible
for our own personal transformation.
b. Spiritual transformation is dependent
upon each individual’s relationship with God.
c. The Creative Word of God’s
(most recent) Manifestation provides a means of communion and gives
guidance and power to the process of individual and societal change.
Thus, transformation in the present age comes about through reading
and studying Bahá’ú’lláh’s Words
and transforming “that which hath been written into reality and
action.”
