To be Educated and Guided: A Migration from Mind, Body, and Heart

In 1912, 'Abdu'l-Bahá planted seeds of His Father's Revelation across Turtle Island, uniting the western hemisphere for the first time with the Dawning Light of God from the East. Some 500 years prior, two branches of the human family, heretofore separated for millennia, began a process of unification that would fertilize the land to receive those precious seeds from which the Administrative Order of Bahá’u’lláh would emerge. While the original inhabitants of Turtle Island were blessed to receive both humanity and divinity, perhaps the time has come for a different kind of migration.
