Hey Eveline, I too have been through the depths of depression and gotten to the stage where the only way i thought out was to end it all. The worst pain I've ever experienced by far. I was one of the fortunate ones that was able to get help. I was given a prayer book at the time by someone very clos...

Re: Info on Potency of long Healing Prayer
Thanks Brett. I was hoping for something with much more detail such as some of the info that's available on the Tablet of Ahmad. From that info though, I'm assuming there isn't too much info available on it. I guess you could say that excerpt the UHJ quoted pretty much describes it potency, making i...

Re: dhikr and contemporary pop music
I'm surprised it took this long for a thread about this video to appear on these forums. It was shown at the end of the feast a fair few feasts ago in our community. Every time i watch it, it moves me without a doubt. I've watched it a lot lately when I've needed a bit of divine assistance. You're r...

Re: times when you KNOW you're being tested
Funny you guys should mention service to others being the true means of happiness. Last night i watched "the last lecture" given by Randy Pausch. I'm sure most of you have heard of him. If you haven't, he was basically a professor of computer science diagnosed with cancer that was terminal...

Re: times when you KNOW you're being tested
Thanks Brett, i think what i needed to hear most was One should seek to identify practical steps in each important area of one's life and then make a plan to effect these, resolutely surmounting obstacles, which can breed a sense of frustration and paralysis. It feels good to get an answer like that...

Re: times when you KNOW you're being tested
Thanks for that Brent. It's just hard sometimes to see the people around you advancing through life at warp speed, while you're held back by things that are out of your control. Sometimes i feel like I'm on a treadmill. Running fast and getting nowhere. Then again, maybe my idea of "advancing t...

Re: engagement HELP
Do most Baha'is "propose" without a ring? I'd hate to buy a ring, propose and not get parental consent.

Re: times when you KNOW you're being tested
Hey guys, sorry to bump the thread to the top, just wanted to say thanks for the quotes and words. I've had one problem after the other since i first posted, each time i get closer and closer to breaking, but for some reason, i've managed to remain cool and deal with it. Not like me at all...
