Roadmap for a Moral Society – SAQ #161 – True Baptism

Welcome to Session 161 of Roadmap for a Moral Society. In this session, we explore the profound subject of “Intelligible Realities.” We discuss the distinction between sensible realities (what we perceive with our five senses) and intelligible realities (truths perceived by the mind and spirit, such as love, gravity, and the Holy Spirit).

We examine how the Baha’i Faith views the relationship between science and religion, using analogies like Newtonian vs. Quantum mechanics to explain progressive revelation. We also look at the difference between philosophers, who offer ideas, and Manifestations of God, who build civilizations.
