Creating a New Mind: Reflections on the Individual, the Institutions & the Community

by Paul Lample

Here is an original and groundbreaking explanation of the fundamental protagonists that constitute the fabric of any civilization, and those necessary recognitions and re-thinking of roles that must occcur, if human civilization is to mature toward a unifed planetary civilization. It also offers the reader a framework by which one might identify those multi-level causes that continually fail to meet challenges of the present world, operating under inadequate instiutional models conflicting community visions, and the disenfranchisement of so many individuals entrapped in poverty, or enervated by self-serving materialsims. The path to global transformation on all fronts begins with the individual?s conception of our mature particpatory purpose, built on a universal spiritual foundation, laid forth in the Revelation of Baha?u?llah for this era.

[Heather Bouyear · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book in a study group and once we arrived at the section on community in the book we decided to plan devotions for Feast together. This book was always right on pace with where we were in that process. It helped our creativity, our consultation, and our finished result was received well. It was wonderful practice.

In reading the book, it generated many good conversations and learning. I recommend it for Baha'is and anyone wanting to understand how Baha'is work together.
