Welcome to the Spiritual Meaning of the Material World

The purpose of this project is to begin to find the spiritual meaning of human knowledge. When the the sciences and arts are connected to the teachings of The Bahá’í Faith, they take on some of the spiritual characteristics of the Faith, and become meaningful, interesting and useful in a profound way. On top of that, two-way learning becomes possible between the Faith and the science or art concerned, unlocking the knowledge of God in both.

The content of this site has come from the Faith, reflection on its teachings, and most of all meditation as described in the Writings, for example in Paris Talks.
