[Editor’s Note: This is the final installment of a three-part essay. Click here to read from the beginning.] It all begins, I told my friend who asked about God and imperfection, when you come to terms with that magnificent premise, that great hypothesis — the existence of God, the Creator. Any avenue of knowing can lead us there.  For most people, though, it takes a kind of knowing that goes beyond the singular avenue of feeling, reasoning, and longing.  In a magnificent little book entitled Tacit Knowing, author Michael Polanyi makes the point that most of what we know is ineffable.  In other words, we know much more than we can say or describe.  This ineffable knowing reaches through and embodies every aspect of our being, of who we are.  Some of us know through our hearts; others through study and logic; a third group through the absorption of tradition and culture; and there are those who are spoken to in dreams, through instincts, through intuition, and even through a spiritually cataclysmic connection with the Supreme Concourse, as in what happened to Paul on the symbolic road to Damascus. On the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel Michelangelo painted his famous picture of God and man reaching towards each other, a small space separating each one’s outstretched fingers.  I think that magnificent painting symbolizes the dynamics of the unique relationship between God and man, and the inevitable separation brought about by the boundary conditions inherent to the human ontological level.  God leaves it up to us – we can bridge that boundary through an act of faith, the ultimate divine hypothesis, if we choose to.  God, however, asks that we make the first move. After all, this is His creation.  Therein lays the hope for mankind. In this new Baha’i revelation, God asks again that we turn our hearts toward the Divine: Love me that I may love thee.  If thou lovest me.

Essays About Technology and the Future After 100 Years by Joleen Chin Read other essays by Joleen Chin I can't say for sure whether the world will be a better or worse place after 100 years, because I think one part will change for the better, while another part will be worse. In the technology, everything has a different type. Many new machines have been invented. Those things will help people more efficiently. You can finish every work by one touch ; you just hold a small remote, and it will order everything. For example, the car will drive to your house by itself according to your orders; the TV will choose the best program and tell you what is the important news for you today. We will have no traffic jams, because the cars will fly in the sky; you don't need to drive them, because everything is automatic. On the other hand, when we get so many new things in our life, that will cause some problems in life. Maybe people will feel strange around other people, because we will hardly talk to one another. We have known all of the answers by modern machines. We use the Internet to connect everything. However, we need to consider that eye contact, face expression, and physical touch are very important to human beings. Back to Table of Contents Individual Goals by Guo Ying Gao Read other essays by Guo Ying Gao Everybody has individual goals. What are my goals? I haven't earnestly considered it. Maybe I will help my husband's business. Maybe I will open my own business. Maybe I will go to college and continue to study. Let me think which individual goal is good for me? First, I could help with my husband's business. My husband has a business in New York working for China and America's culture exchange. He is very busy; you know New York is a crazy city, and everybody in NY is very busy. I love my husband, and I want help him, but I can't, because my English is no good.
