The Point of Adoration

Bahjí at night.

5 Fingers

James Mason assumes the role of Diello, the valet to the British Ambassador to Ankara who sold British secrets to the Germans during WWII.  The movie is based on actual events.

The approach.

Making his pitch to Moyzisch, the German Attaché.

Moyzisch securing payment.

Contemplating the combination of the safe.

Diello:  I said to myself:  If I was an ambitious Attaché to the German government, what would be the combination of my safe?

Moyzisch: How dare you!

Diello:  1-30-33, the year Hitler came to power.  I imagine it would open half the safes in Germany, and Hitler's birth date the other half.  What an unimaginative lot you are.

Diello confirms the betrayal.

Movie Quotes:

Diello:  As for my name....

Moyzisch:  You have been assigned the name 'Cicero'.

Diello: Cicero:  A man of nobility, eloquence, and dissatisfaction. I like that name.

...

Diello (to Moyzisch) :  ... and please don't have me followed. You Germans have no talent for it. You keep wanting to get ahead of the people you follow.

Religion and Science Agree

"Religion and science are the two wings upon which man’s intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of materialism".

Our Promised Destiny

Queen Marie of Romania

Referring to mankind's spiritual destiny, Baha'u'llah spoke of the time when, "...should a woman who is unsurpassed in her beauty and adorned with the most exquisite and priceless jewels, travel unveiled and alone, from the east of the world to the west thereof, passing through every land and journeying in all countries, there would be such a standard of justice, trustworthiness and faith on the one hand, and lack of treachery and degradation on the other, that no one would be found who would wish to rob her of her possessions or to cast a treacherous and lustful eye upon her beauteous chastity!"

Strength and Courage

Silver Earings

Zuni believe that the Bear is invaluable if you are faced with change and transition. It can be your ally when you are attempting to resolve conflict, forgive yourself or others for errors of the past, or when you are faced with new challenges in your spiritual path. The Bear guides introspection and self-reflection.  From Here

Several years ago, a Christian missionary from Kampala, Uganda, came to my door. I told her I was a Baha'i, and asked if she knew of the Continental Baha'i House of Worship there. She said she walked past it every day!
