Acre

All of the Arabs living there, all of the Christians living there and themselves in order to create a massive amount of chaos and destruction in order for some form of reconstruction, some new phoenixing, um, thing to, to replace the old order.

And I think that that thing that's going to replace it, what I'm seeing set up as part of the propaganda is, um, the old kingdom of Jerusalem, uh, which is a Templar managed crusader kingdom that dissipated in 1290, um, at the battle of Acre.

And I think that there's a different, it's not a very, they, they act like it's Christian, but I don't think it was ever Christian at all.

Um, but they want some version of that 2.0 for the transhumanist age of that.

Ten Days in the Light of Acre by Julia M. Grundy Section 1 introduction i realize that the doors of a new life are opening within me and that i have been awakened as if from a sleep now it seems that never again can i go back to the life which is so trivial unsatisfying and without eternal purpose it is a supreme pleasure to live in an atmosphere which is all light here i see about me those who have already laid hold upon immortality and viewing them i realize that i too am a child of the kingdom i met abdul baha shortly after our arrival in the household he said blessed are you that the word of god has reached you and found your soul awake blessed it is that the east and the west have met in the kingdom of god as christ prophesied i said it is a heavenly privilege to know the truth and become a child of the kingdom he replied i hope to meet you in the spiritual kingdom i said that will be my wish and desire he answered i will pray for you from the words of abdul baha moral life consists in the government of oneself immortality is government of a human soul by the divine will the soul is the sanctuary of god reason is his throne our actions reveal what we are no matter what the tongue speaks every drop of blood shed in the cause of god will raise up one hundred believers martyrdom is the supreme test of belief great martyrs will arise in this cause in the years to come a believer is sometimes called upon to suffer a living martyrdom are miracles performed in this day miracles are constantly being performed in the material world about us yet they make but little impression every prophet has his own particular mission and function he does not come merely to perform miracles people do not trouble themselves about the proof of miracles the function of a physician is not to make a tree talk be firm in the west let the foundation principles of this truth become deep-rooted hold fast until the fulness of reality comes to you christ's teachings were established largely through the firmness of paul many calamities will befall the believers but by loving the cause of god it will be uplifted in human souls and the believers strengthened love one another live in unity under the tent of god firmness and love make unity god will assist all who serve in this cause spirit is universal man is created in a potential degree of spirit growth is from the mental station into the spiritual something like the development from soldier to commander god himself cannot compel the soul to become spiritual the exercise of a free human will is necessary we can point the way and furnish the example we should do little things as well as great things for the love of god we should love people because they are god's creatures are the manifestations sinless yes there must be a standard of perfection for human example are manifestations limited they are limited only by the capacity of souls to whom they reveal the word what becomes of an undeveloped infant soul it rests with the mercy of god and through the eternal bounty it will not be deprived of that mercy will the tablets and utterances of baha'u'llah be added to our bible no they are a distinct revelation of god and will form a book larger than our bible what will be the future of this revelation know this that the revelation of baha ullah is the word of god there will not be a home which does not contain a believer look not at the present turn your vision upon the future all the books written concerning the history of this revelation number about fifty volumes will the money of the rich ever be divided among the people without revolution or bloodshed will some men amass great fortunes in the future while others remain poor will the law prevent this condition of affairs it will not be possible in the future for men to amass great fortunes by the labour of others the rich will willingly divide they will come to this gradually naturally by their own volition it will never be accomplished by war and bloodshed the ruling power or government cannot treat the rich unjustly to force them to divide their wealth would be unjust in the future proportionately about three-quarters of the profits will go to the workman and one-quarter to the owner this condition will prevail in about one century it will certainly come to pass the blessed perfection has revealed a tablet called tablet of the spiritual world all who read it are filled with an anxious desire to leave this world and enter the next condition so wonderful are the glories of the spiritual kingdom in persia one man who read this tablet killed himself he could not wait for the happiness it promised him another a youth of isfahan could not stand the spiritual food contained in this tablet and lost his reason i once lived in a cave on mount carmel one day i went to the carmelite monastery and asked to see someone saying i had a message to deliver they refused to see me or hear my message i said i will put it in writing if you will read it they still refused so i returned to acca in great sadness walking the whole distance of nine miles everlasting life is the bounty of god it is like the sea of reality the believers are the waves of that sea one great sea a thousand waves as one again everlasting life is like the rays of the sun and the believers are windows The sun which produces the light is one and the same.

Into these soul windows the same light enters and various things within are illuminated.

The kingdom is like a garden.

Grundy Section 3 love how can we love another whose personality is unpleasant see how the enemies of christ persecuted and crucified him yet he loved them all man is like a tree the tree lives to produce fruit the fruit of man is love it is easy for us to love a friend or even an animal but how difficult to love one who is without attraction yet if the love of god is shining in our hearts we like christ may see that love reflected in every personality and love all alike what is the difference between universal and individual love we must love all humanity as the children of god even if they kill us we must die with love for them it is not possible for us to love everybody with a personal love but we must love all humanity alike man is capable of attaining a supreme station through the manifestation of love god created man to attain a supreme station man must reflect the love of god there are many stages or kinds of love in the beginning god through his love created man man is the highest product of his love and the purpose of man's existence is to reflect this love of god in his soul but man in his egotism and love of self turns away from his creator and thereby prevents the accomplishment of the divine plan the manifestations appear to show man the way to god through love by them man is brought to the condition of severance from his egotism and being absorbed into the ocean of love divine the three stages of love are therefore first god's love for man second man's love for self third man's love for god there is a profound a divine wisdom in love the light of god shines in the eyes when the heart is pure the home of religion is the heart soul and spirit compiled from abdul baha's teachings soul is the human will to live temporally spirit is the divine will to live forever salvation is the quickening of soul into spirit all souls are alike in essence or quality as created owing to environment soul needs differ rich and poor wise and ignorant etc environment has its dark side and its light side development has its good aspects and bad aspects sin is the absence of righteousness righteousness is doing the will of god all souls have a free will to choose or refuse the will of god each soul has its station of individuality in which it may develop itself but a soul cannot leave its own station for another station or individuality man accomplishes his true growth when the soul develops in its own station his station does not change simply his capacity for knowing god is increased and developed knowledge of god is the only spiritual development the power of the manifestations of god is beyond question inasmuch as human development invariably follows their teachings this development is unmistakably toward a higher existence every manifestation teaches the existence of god as their power is evident their knowledge must likewise be true the soul can prove the existence of god through its intellectual powers but the true perception of god is through the spiritual eye of the soul this knowledge transcends mere mental proof it is spiritual sight it is vision the atheist has intelligence of the mere mind his words denying the existence of god are in reality evidence that god exists the atheist's real station of development is not ours to judge or estimate spirit is oneness of vision and knowledge the mind has many attributes or powers the spirit is conscious perception when all the powers of the soul work together and are concentrated upon god the soul has its highest employment spirit is like the sun the source of all light alone in its station the mind or soul has many lights as the stars the mind or soul manifests itself throughout the whole body in perfect harmony the spirit or spirit of god manifests itself throughout the whole body of the universe and is in perfect harmony wherever manifest a wicked soul is the only thing out of harmony in the universe as it does not come into the flow of the divine will it is not of the spirit

Yeah, they're still in Ascalon.

They still control Acre for the moment.

But yeah, the Crusaders could have taken Ascalon if they could have just agreed who was going to be the representative of it.

But they were fighting so much at that point.

By chance, Napoleon managed to escape Nelson, who was searching the Mediterranean for him, and he landed his expedition at Alexandria.

sweeping everything before him bonaparte soon dominated the country and despoiled the conquered people of the relics of the past then nelson coming back to look for his foe found the french fleet in aboukir bay and swept it forever from the seas napoleon was shaken but hid his mortification and in due course set off to invade syria gaza of biblical history fell before him Jaffa was captured, but at Acre, another British admiral, Sir Sidney Smith, intervened.

The French ships sailing along the coast with stores for Napoleon's troops were captured, and the British sailor then threw himself, heart and soul, into the defense of the city.

Napoleon fought desperately for weeks to capture Acre, but the admiral was his match, and the French forces were at last compelled to retreat.

about this time a sapper was digging away in the ruins of fort st julian when his pick struck against a rock he drove the tool into the soil to see if the rock were large or small and whether it would be difficult to remove he quickly discovered that the rock was of no great size and in a few minutes it was lying clear at the bottom of the trench Glancing idly at the stone, the Frenchman noticed it was covered with strange characters.

The soldier was quite interested in his find, so interested that he cleaned the whole surface of the strange stone he had unearthed.

More than this, the harvest sown in Islamic lands by Qurratul-Ain is now beginning to appear.

A letter addressed to the Christian Commonwealth last June informs us that 40 Turkish suffragettes are being deported from Constantinople to Acre so long the prison of Bahá'u'lláh.

Quote, During the last few years, suffrage ideas have been spreading quietly behind in the harems.

The men were ignorant of it.

The staid, fossilized class of society were shocked, the good Muslims were alarmed, and the government forced into action.

These 400 liberty-loving women were divided into several groups.

One group composed of 40 have been exiled to Acre and will arrive in a few days.

Everybody is talking about it, and it is really surprising to see how numerous are those in favor of removing the veils from the faces of the women.

The mere act of your gathering together is enough to scatter the forces of these vain and worthless people.

Through his sufferings of exile in Baghdad, his lonely sojourn in Sulaymaniyah, his further exile to Constantinople, his sufferings and hardships during the journey to Adrianople, and his final banishment to the most great prison of Acre, he gave to human beings the strength to build his new creation.

His revelation erases from the minds and souls of men all feelings of inadequacy.

And through the belief in Him, they are empowered to serve Him and to contribute their share to the achievement of the golden age of man.

The news of the Battle of the Nile had spread far and wide, and France had good reason to fear that the tide had turned against her.

Early in 1799, Bonaparte attacked Acre, and Sir Sidney Smith was sent to harass his forces and to compel him, if possible, to raise the siege.

At this time occurred one of those events which show how a slight advantage properly used may decide the final issue.

Matters were in this critical state.

A little later, news was received that they had sailed southward, and a correspondent at this time writes, Lord St. Vincent will have a fine field to exert his talents if the French fleet join the Spanish after capturing Lisbon.

On the morning of May 5th, from the Rock of Gibraltar, Lord St. Vincent saw, with the deepest anxiety, the French fleet running before a westerly gale into the Mediterranean.

His most immediate fear was lest Bruix should be on his way to help Bonaparte at Acre and to overwhelm Sidney Smith's squadron.

If so, the question was how to stop him.
