Letters from the American Desert: Signposts of a Journey, A Vision.

Hardcover, Kindle, ePub.

Twenty years in the making, in Letters from the American Desert, FG reflects on the cultural, political, and religious history of Western and non-Western civilizations, pondering the dilemmas of postmodernity, in a compelling struggle for spiritual knowledge and truth. In what is a highly autobiographical work, fully cognizant of the relativism and nihilism of modern life, he finds a deeper meaning and purpose in a universal Vision. Confronting the antinomies of the soul, grounded in the dialectic, the author charts a path beyond the postmodern desert.

Alluding extensively to Martin Luther and W. B. Yeats at All Souls Chapel, “metaphors for poetry,” from Yeats’s book A Vision, FG considers the example of the global, universal message of the oneness of God, all religions, and humankind, holding out a new hope and peaceful Vision for a world in spiritual and global crisis.

Far from a theocracy, FG envisions a modest separation of church and state, as the will of God, in an unorganized religion, a universal synthesis of all spiritual and wisdom traditions, in harmony and balance with universal peace, in a global age of pluralism, where religious belief is a distinctive mark of the individual, not collective, communal identity.

FG
Tiananmen Square, 1994

N.B. Please rely on my own books and publications as representative of my views.  Since at least 1996, I have been a critic of the fanaticism of the Baha'i Faith, a Scientology-like criminal cult, based on Iranian Shiite millennialism and a fraudulent will and testament, which is attempting to create a global theocracy by deceiving and brainwashing its unsuspecting members into a false version of its history and then using them to carry out Baha'i jihads against dissenters and critics.
I've been stalked, harassed, and misrepresented, on and offline, by fanatical Haifan Baha'is and Iranian Shiite and other Muslims for over a decade and a half, some of the latter frequently anti-semites, as well as possibly other religious fanatics, posting to the Internet false information and mashups intended to libel and discredit me.
By attempting to destroy all other Baha'i denominations through various methods characteristic of the worst in Islam, Haifan Baha'is think they can maintain their claim since 1921 that they alone constitute the Baha'i Faith. As Professor Juan Cole writes in his book Modernity and the Millennium, Columbia University  Press (1998), the Baha'i administration has increasingly come under the control of fundamentalists, "stressing scriptural literalism... theocracy, censorship, intellectual intolerance, and denying key democratic values" (196).

"Check for yourselves: during the last ten, twenty or thirty years, has rational argument ever been used against any dissident? No, never, because no such arguments exist. They always reply with curses and slander. Such was the 'answer' to Sakharov. And just as empty was the 'answer' to Heinrich Boll…" —Solzhenitsyn, The Oak and the Calf

Expertise

As one of the people extensively harassed both on and offline, since as early as 1996, by fanatical Wilmette-Haifan Baha'is and Muslims, including being tracked, slandered, and misrepresented across the Internet, I bring a unique experience and perspective to all things Bahai. Since 1976 I've been a member of the Reform Bahai Faith, a universal, unorganized form of religion that respects the essential truths of all of the great religions and wisdom traditions. I have published in the Bahai journal World Order, and served in several Bahai communities throughout the United States. Having read extensively in the Bahai writings for over forty years and having had university coursework in Biblical and Islamic religious studies and theology, I can address issues of cultural, historical, and spiritual importance to members of the unorganized Reform Bahai Faith and other interested people of various religious and secular outlook. I no longer address questions directly related to the several other Baha'i denominations. I will not dignify antisemitism with a response.

Experience

I'm especially able to discuss the role of Iranian Shiite "takfir" in Baha'i circles, the identification and denunciation of "infidels" and "apostates," having witnessed its fanatical, pernicious use against countless victims on and offline, in the USA and elsewhere. As a member of the Reform Bahai Faith, I have been intimately involved in the issues of free speech and conscience within the Bahai Faith since 1996, if not longer. Most American Baha'is are naively uninformed about these issues, if not deceived and brainwashed into a cult-like and mindless acceptance of a distorted version of its history, "taqlid," which Baha'u'llah had explicitly "Removed from the Book."

Publications

I am also the editor or author of two books on the Bahai teachings. The Universal Principles of the Reform Bahai Faith. Baha'u'llah & Abdu'l-Baha. With a new Introduction and the original 1912 Foreword. Hardcover: ISBN: 9780967042138 148 pages. Reform Bahai Press, 2008. Letters from the American Desert: Signposts of a Journey, A Vision. ISBN: 9780967042114. Preface. 172 pages. 2008. Glaysher finds a deeper meaning and purpose for the individual and the world community in the writings and global vision of Baha’u’llah, as expressed in the Reform Bahai Faith. Glaysher invites readers to consider the implications of the universal, moderate form of the Bahai Teachings as interpreted by Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’u’llah’s son, who had spoken throughout the West in Europe, England, and the United States from 1911 to 1913. Abdu’l-Baha’s message of the oneness of God, all religions, and humankind holds out a new hope and vision for a world in spiritual and global crisis. Far from a theocracy, the Reform Bahai Faith envisions a separation of church and state as the will of God, in harmony and balance with universal peace, in a global age of permanent pluralism, in a world of multiplicity, where religion is a reflection of individual distinctiveness, not of communal identity.

Cultural Context

John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book XII

Wolves shall succeed for teachers, grievous wolves,
Who all the sacred mysteries of Heaven
To their own vile advantages shall turn
Of lucre and ambition; and the truth
With superstitions and traditions taint,
Left only in those written records pure,
Though not but by the Spirit understood.
Then shall they seek to avail themselves of names,
Places, and titles, and with these to join
Secular power; though feigning still to act
By spiritual, to themselves appropriating
The Spirit of God, promised alike and given
To all believers; and, from that pretence,
Spiritual laws by carnal power shall force
On every conscience; laws which none shall find
Left them inrolled, or what the Spirit within
Shall on the heart engrave. What will they then
But force the Spirit of Grace itself, and bind
His consort Liberty? what, but unbuild
His living temples, built by faith to stand,
Their own faith, not another's? for, on earth,
Who against faith and conscience can be heard
Infallible? yet many will presume:
Whence heavy persecution shall arise
On all, who in the worship persevere
Of spirit and truth; the rest, far greater part,
Will deem in outward rites and specious forms
Religion satisfied; Truth shall retire
Bestuck with slanderous darts, and works of faith
Rarely be found: So shall the world go on,
To good malignant, to bad men benign;
Under her own weight groaning....

"Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens . . . are a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion . . . No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion." —Thomas Jefferson

"Few things have done more harm than the belief on the part of individuals or groups (or tribes or states or nations or churches) that he or she or they are in sole possession of the truth: especially about how to live, what to be & do-& that those who differ from them are not merely mistaken, but wicked or mad: & need restraining or suppressing. It is a terrible and dangerous arrogance to believe that you alone are right: have a magical eye which sees the truth: & that others cannot be right if they disagree. ...the first people totalitarians destroy or silence are men of ideas & free minds." —Isaiah Berlin

"I, too, had to face the savage personal attacks by my former comrades that were designed to warn others to remain within the fold." —David Horowitz, Radical Son

"The right to search for truth implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true." —Albert Einstein"

"Unmeasured vituperation employed on the side of the prevailing opinion really does deter people from professing contrary opinions and from listening to those who profess them." —John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (51-52).

"Just and moderate governments are everywhere quiet, everywhere safe; but oppression raises ferments and makes men struggle to cast off an uneasy and tyrannical yoke." —John Locke

"In the past Americans have always been dissenters. Americans have never submitted for long to injustice." —Robert Hayden, interview in World Order, reprinted in Collected Prose, edited by FG. University of Michigan Press, 1984 (85).

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." —Pascal, Penses #894.

"When a mass movement begins to attract people who are interested in their individual careers, it is a sign that it has passed its vigorous stage; that it is no longer engaged in molding a new world but in possessing and preserving the present. It ceases then to be a movement and becomes an enterprise." —Eric Hoffer, The True Believer

"Foul deeds will rise,
Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes." —Hamlet

---

"What among human endeavours can be nobler or more useful
than the protection of human liberty?"
—John Milton

"The shining spark of truth cometh forth only after the clash of differing opinions." —Abdul-Baha

"The conscience of man is sacred and to be respected."
—Abdul-Baha

"Refuse to set up once again a sect similar to that of the Shi'ihs."
—Baha'u'llah

"Mr. Glaysher, in my view, is taking some positive steps to resolve some serious issues in the Baha'i community. Because there are seven million Haifa/Wilmette Baha'is does not make them right or genuine Baha'is. It simply means that they are a large organization. And I emphasize the word "organization." While it is the main source of teaching, it is also an organization that has hurt a lot of people with authoritarian actions, and it has put a damper on honest scholarship unless it agrees with its policies. It is the only religion I know that has a "protection committee" and that spies on alleged dissidents. What are you Baha'is (I assume you are Baha'i) afraid of? What do you need protection from? The Faith widely claims "oneness and unity." There is none. There have been conflicts since the Faith began. This is shameful for a Faith that boasts unity. Fact is, it is a "party line" religion where to be a good Baha'i is to go along and keep your mouth shut. I have loved the Faith, but with its conflicts, I've been tempted to chuck the whole thing. But I've not been able to do that because in spite of them, there is a glitter of truth in it. And believe me, that "truth" is not the organization, but it is in the Faith self. You can't organize or legislate a faith, and, certainly, Haifa/Wilmette does not own it (even though they think they do). The Faith needs a total overhaul. It has forgotten what the real Faith is." --Joel Bjorling, comment #4 (Dec 14, 2014) on The Universal Principles of the Reform Bahai Faith, A new view of the baha'i faith.

U. S. Federal Courts Rule *Three Times* against Wilmette, Haifan Baha'is:

Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals rules against Haifan Baha'is of Wilmette, Illinois
Court Opinion as a PDF from this website.
Related Newspaper Articles - Opinion of US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Case No. 08-2306

Opinion, Judge Sykes, p 14-15: "Considered in light of these First Amendment limitations on the court’s authority, certain aspects of the 1966  injunction are troubling. The decree declares that “there is only one Baha’i Faith,” that Shoghi Effendi was its last Guardian and none has come since, and the National Spiritual  Assembly was its representative and “highest authority” in the United States and was “entitled to exclusive use of the  marks  and symbols of the Faith,” including the exclusive use of the word “Bahá’í.” Declarations of this sort push the  boundaries of the court’s authority under Kedroff and Presbyterian Church. In church property disputes (trademark suits  obviously qualify), the First Amendment limits the sphere in which civil courts may operate. When a district judge takes  sides in a religious schism, purports to decide matters of spiritual succession, and excludes dissenters from using the  name, symbols, and marks of the faith (as distinct from the name and marks of a church), the First Amendment line appears to have been crossed" (boldface added).

Baha'is in My Backyard - Full Interview of FG,
October 18, 2004, by the Israeli Belfilms. 2.4 hours.

Given the US Federal Court decisions ruling three times against the Haifan Baha'i denomination in 2008 to 2010, I believe it is the right moment to make available this full interview for people researching the Bahai Faith.

Transcript of key passages regarding the "Fraud Shop,"demonstrating the concern of Israelis about who is truly in control of the Baha'i Faith in Israel and where the vast sums of money are coming from for the massive construction projects on Mt Carmel, Haifa, Israel, which is to say, Shiia and/or perhaps Sunni fanatics whose antisemiticism is reflected in the ban on teaching the Baha'i Faith in Israel; Baha'u'llah's universal teachings coopted into a multi-generational form of Islamic dawah or call to become Muslim that Westerners especially fail to perceive and understand; ultimately furthering the goal of subjugation of non-Mulisms, around the world, into dhimmitude--which most emphatically was not Abdul-Baha's open and universal interpretation of Baha'u'llah's teachings for the modern world, highly analogous to the open, universal respect for all religions and viewpoints that has evolved in pluralistic democracies around the world, Abdul-Baha's "spiritual democracy."

In "The Evolution of Charismatic Authority in the Baha'i Faith (1863-1921)," in Robert Gleave, ed., Religion and Society in Qajar Iran (London: RoutledgeCurzon, 2005), pp. 311-345. [Important article not available online.], Cole writes, "This tying of wealth to charisma was to be crucial for the fortunes of the religion" (314). "Baha'ullah was committed to a separation of religion and state, and renounced any theocratic claims on the civil government by himself or his religion, saying, he only desired the hearts of men" (317). Speaking of Abdul-Baha, Cole states, "...His first major work to be published after Baha'u'llah's death, his Treatise on Leadership. There he explained that leadership is of two sorts, worldly and spiritual. Spiritual leaders 'have no relationship to corporeal concerns, affairs of political leadership, worldly matters'. He added, 'These latter souls have nothing to do with affairs of civil leadership, nor do they seek to interfere in them. Thus, in this most great cycle of the maturity and adulthood of the world, this matter has been put into the text of the divine Book as one might put lead into the structure of a building.' He was emphatic that the 'funcition of the religious leaders' is only to attend to spiritual matters, and that whenever such leaders have 'intervened in the world of political leadership it was has resulted in disaster" (323). Later Cole quotes Abdul-Baha teaching, "'In the religion of God, he asserted, 'there is no practice of declaring believers to be morally corrupt (tafsiq) or of declaring them not believers (takfir), nor is debasing or showing contempt for others permitted' (331, cf. 332-333 for more details on "shunning" )." "Baha'u'llah believed that true discourse (bayan) would always win out, and although he counselled against close association with the ungodly, he never developed a system of shunning" (333). "Once established, shunning became a tool for later leaders with implications far beyond the Muhammad Ali schism, and was used to control and manipulate adherents with regard to issues of personal conscience and even sometimes choice of place of residence! A suspicion of non-conformity, a demand for blind obedience [taqlid], and a concern with being constantly 'firm in the covenant' came to characterize important elements of the community over time" (333). "Still, Abdul-Baha continued to respect individual conscience and individual contributions that acknowledged his authority, and in his talks in the US he often spoke with fervent admiration of rights, liberty and parliamentarly democracy" (339). "The dispute over the succesion to Baha'ullah demonstrated the instability of the system of authority he created" (340). It can not be overemphasized that the role of the "Baha'i merchant clans" is insightfully discussed.

Cole mentions on his blog that he was "forced out of the community in 1996 by fundamentalist elements in the leadership, who try to impose censorship and conformity on vocal intellectuals.... The more fundamentalist side of the religion is usually hidden from outsiders and new believers, and is probably more pronounced in the US than in the UK anyway."

What the Haifan Baha'i Faith shares with Scientology, (but from Iranian Shiism):

"THE basic core belief in Scientology that is cult-like and dangerous:
Scientologists believe that Scientology is vital to themselves, mankind and the universe and its success, here on earth, right now, is more important than ANYTHING."

"...Scientology's extreme policys on its importance makes it vilify its critics to the point that it figuratively blinds its members. ANY complaints, no matter how legitimate, are seen as "attacks" in the eyes of its members."

"...Naysayers are officially labeled a "Suppressive Person" or "SP" for short. ["covenant breaker," "apostate," in Baha'i.] They are not to be associated with and members who are connected to them are threatened with the same label unless they agree to disconnect from them. This has destroyed many, many families." [and in Baha'i, where husbands and wives are forced to divorce their spouse or they will be considered a "covenant breaker."] More on Scientology...

Abdul-Baha - Select Quotations

"These are effectual and sufficient proofs that the conscience of man is sacred and to be respected; and that liberty thereof produces widening of ideas, amendment of morals, improvement of conduct, disclosure of the secrets of creation, and manifestation of the hidden verities of the contingent world. Moreover, if interrogation of conscience, which is one of the private possessions of the heart and the soul, take place in this world, what further recompense remains for man in the court of divine justice at the day of general resurrection? Convictions and ideas are within the scope of the comprehension of the King of kings, not of kings; and soul and conscience are between the fingers of control of the Lord of hearts, not of [His] servants. So in the world of existence two persons unanimous in all grades [of thought] and all beliefs cannot be found." —Abdul-Baha, A Traveler's Narrative, 91.

Disclaimer: Given Abdul-Baha's respect for the individual's conscience and the frequent lack of it in everyday Bahai life, I must emphasize all ideas and opinions belong to their authors and do not necessarily reflect my views. And given the difficulty of authenticating identity on the Internet, I caution the reader that it is possible that people of ill-will of various opinion, whether Sunni or Shia Muslims and others, opposed to the Bahai teachings, however interpreted, might misrepresent themselves. It is left up to the individual here to make such judgements for him or herself.
