The Change is Coming.

And it is the change that we all have been waiting for, some of us even praying for. But it might not happen this year or next. You see, we are in the middle of it and it will just take awhile to complete.

People from all walks of life have begun to realize the kinds of things that are happening. Followers of the Baha'i Faith have a leg-up, but that's no protection from the winds of change -- they blow on all alike.

David C. Korten is an author from north-west American conservative roots who has woken up. His book The Great Turning, building on his previous titles, When Corporations Rule the World, and The Post-Corporate World, goes into great detail to describe, from human the side, the growth and maturation of mankind. It is important information to understand as it is an analog to the teachings of the Baha'i Faith.

Baha'u'llah, whose Revelation poured forth from 1852 to 1892, revealed spiritual truths and the implications for the material world. Government must treat its citizens as a trust from God. The equality of men and women, the balance of the masculine and the feminine qualities of character. How the world order will be funded through the Right of God. The need for world peace. And on and on.

Korten has reviewed the history of mankind and now, over 100 years later, in the voice of one man among many, recognizes and expounds many of these principles. Though he does not mention if he has ever met Baha'is or heard the message of Baha'u'llah during the times he lived in the third world, he is an example of the power of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah.

Baha'is understand that the world will turn. And here we can read from a well versed, human observer that the signs are evident.
