In this talk given by Erica Toussaint-Brock called "Family life: Marriage and Relationships and Childhood Education", Ms. Toussaint-Brock shares her thoughts about living a coherent life from the standpoint of building civilization. She looks at the roles of the individual, marriage and family in the spiritualization of mankind and in attaining unity in all human relationships, whether it's achieving the equality of women and men or increasing the stability of marriages.

Erica Toussaint-Brock is best known for her down-to-earth application of the Bahá'í teachings in our everyday life. Her presentations are filled with insight, laughter and stories which give us a window into a deeper and more profound understanding of walking our path of spiritual development and service to fellow human beings. She has served variously in Baha'i administrative positions including as an Auxiliary Board member, the Regional Baha'i Council of the Western states and most recently as a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States for 15 years until 2015.

This talk was given at the Grand Canyon Baha'i Conference, 25 December, 2017.

"Family Life - Marriage and Relationships and Childhood Education" a Talk By Ms. Erica Toussaint

Chords: E A D E

O SON OF UTTERANCE! Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth 
and My dominion perisheth not.  x3
If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain.

O Son Of Utterance

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone

Run into my room and slam the door
They don’t get me like they did before
Thinking hard lying on the floor
How to build peace when it feels like war
I do, my best, to see, the good in others 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone 	x2

Walk into a room and it goes quiet 
Overheard a story that I confided
It’s one sided, I can’t fight it
I feel hurt, my friends are divided
I do, my best, to see, the good in others 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone		x2

We will forgive cos we know that we’re guided
We want to live in a world that’s united
We turn to prayer cos it makes us hopeful
We feel the love for everyone, cos we know we’re created noble

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 

I know I’m not alone		x2

I do, my best, to see, the good in others. 
I see, them all, as my, sisters and brothers
I want, them to, trust me, I know they love me
I want, to help, them see, we’re a community)

Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look around me
I know this is my home		x2
Despite the darkness
My heart is full of hope
I look above me 
I know I’m not alone

Free Thyself

"Free Thyself" by Modison Magagula & Friends

Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.

In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick.

In this episode, I catch up with Sean Hinton again (here's part 1 of our conversation in case you missed it: https://bit.ly/2YMdi8x), and sadly, this second conversation takes place after the passing of my father, Robert Wilson. Sean asks about my dad, and we talk about loss, Baha'i funerals, and about our fathers and our upbringing. We also discuss the importance of community building, teaching the Baha'i Faith, careers, and how 'what' we do is not as important as 'how' we do it. I hope you find part 2 of our conversation as interesting and insightful as I did.

"He is God! O peerless Lord! Praised be Thou for having kindled that light in the glass of the Concourse on high, for having guided that bird of faithfulness to the nest of the Abhá Kingdom. Thou hast joined that precious river to the mighty sea, Thou hast returned that spreading ray of light to the Sun of Truth. Thou hast welcomed that captive of remoteness into the garden of reunion, and led him who longed to look upon Thee to Thy presence in Thy bright place of lights.
Thou art the Lord of tender love, Thou art the last goal of the yearning heart, Thou art the dearest wish of the martyr’s soul."

*Sean shares this quotation by Baha'u'llah: 
"That seeker must, at all times, put his trust in God, must renounce the peoples of the earth, must detach himself from the world of dust, and cleave unto Him Who is the Lord of Lords. He must never seek to exalt himself above anyone, must wash away from the tablet of his heart every trace of pride and vainglory, must cling unto patience and resignation, observe silence and refrain from idle talk. For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endureth a century."
