There's a lot of confusion around the topic of speaking in tongues because very few realize this. Did you know that the Bible describes three different expressions of the gift of tongues? There's the proof tongue singing Acts 2. This is the one that is heard by the unbeliever as an actual earthly language. Then there's the personal tongue. This is the personal prayer language described in 1 Corinthians 14-2 and 4. Then there's the prophetic tongue. This is the expression of the gift used in the context of a public church gathering that commands the attention of all assembled. This is the expression that requires an interpretation when used and it's seen in 1 Corinthians 14-13. For more teachings on the gift of tongues, make sure to subscribe.


I will then speak what is true in thy sight, O Lord, that when carnal men and infidels, for the gaining and initiating whom the initiatory sacraments and the mighty workings of miracles are necessary, which we suppose to be signified by the name of fishes and whales. Undertake the bodily refreshment, or otherwise succour thy servant with something useful for his present life, whereas they be ignorant why this is to be done and to what end. Neither do they feed these, nor are these fed by them, because neither do the one do it out of a holy and right intent, nor do the other rejoice at their gifts, whose fruit they as yet behold not. But upon that is the mind-fed, of which it is glad, and therefore do not the fishes and whales feed upon such meats as the earth brings not forth until after it was separated and divided from the bitterness of the waves of the sea. CHAPTER XXVIII. And thou, O God, sauced everything that thou hast made, and, behold, it was very good. Yea, we also see the same, and behold, all things are very good. And the several kinds of thy works thou hast said, let them be, and they were. Thou sauced each that it was good. Seven times have I counted it to be written, that thou sauced that which thou madeest was good. And this is the eighth, that thou sauced everything that thou hast made, and behold, it was not only good, but also very good, as being now altogether. For severally they were only good, but altogether both good and very good. All beautiful bodies express the same, by reason that a body consisting of members, all beautiful, is far more beautiful than the same members by themselves are, by whose well-ordered blending the whole is perfected, notwithstanding that the members severally be also beautiful. CHAPTER XXIX. And I looked narrowly to find whether seven or eight times thou sauced that thy works were good when they pleased thee, but in thy seeing I found no times whereby I might understand that thou sauced so often what thou madeest. And I said, Lord, is not this thy scripture true, since thou art true, and being truth hast said it forth, why then dost thou say unto me that in thy seeing there be no times whereas this thy scripture tells me that what thou madeest each day thou sauced that it was good, and when I counted them I found how often. Unto this thou answerst me, for thou art my God, and with a strong voice tellest thy servant in his inner ear breaking through my deafness and crying, O man, that which my scripture sayeth, I say, and yet doth that speak in time, but time has no relation to my word, because my word exists in equal eternity with myself, so the things which ye see through my spirit I see, like as what ye speak by my spirit I speak, and so when ye see those things in time I see them not in time, and when ye speak in time I speak them not in time. CHAPTER XXX. And I heard, O Lord my God, and drank up a drop of sweetness out of thy truth, and understood that certain men there be who mislike thy works, and say that many of them, thou madeest, compel by necessity, such as the fabric of the heaven and harmony of the stars, and that thou madeest them not of what was thine, but that they were otherwise and from other sources created, for thee to bring together and compact and combine, when out of thy conquered enemies thou racist up the walls of the universe, that they, bound down by this structure, might not again be able to rebel against thee. For other things they say thou neither madeest them, nor either compactest them, such as all flesh, and all very minute creatures, and whatsoever hath its root in the earth, but that a mind at enmity with thee, and another nature not created by thee, and contrary to thee, did, in these lower stages of the world, beget and frame these things. Friendsied are they who say thus, because they see not thy works by thy spirit, nor recognize thee in them. CHAPTER 31 But they who by thy spirit see these things, thou seeest in them, therefore, when they see that these things are good, thou seeest that they are good, and what through thy spirit please us, they please thee in us. For what man knoweth the things of a man, say the spirit of a man which is in him, even so the things of God knoweth no one but the spirit of God. Now we, sayeth he, have received not the spirit of this world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God, and I am admonished, truly the things of God knoweth no one but the spirit of God. How then do we also know what things are given us of God? Answer is made me, because these things which we know by his spirit, even these know when knoweth but the spirit of God. For as it is rightly said unto those that were to speak by the spirit of God, it is not he that speak. So it is rightly said to them that no through the spirit of God it is not ye that know. And no less than is it rightly said to those that see through the spirit of God it is not ye that see. So whatsoever through the spirit of God they see be good, it is not they but God that sees that it is good. It is one thing then for a man to think that to be ill which is good as the fore name to do, and another that that which is good a man should see that it is good, as thy creatures be pleasing unto many because they be good whom yet thou pleases not in them when they prefer to enjoy them to thee. And another that when a man sees a thing that is good God should in him see that it is good. So namely that he should be loved in that which he made, who cannot be loved, but by the Holy Ghost which he hath given. Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us, by whom we see that whatsoever in any degree is, is good. For from him it is, who himself is not in degree, but what he is, is. Thanks be to thee, O Lord. We behold the heaven and earth, whether the corporal part, superior and inferior, or the spiritual and corporal creature, and in the adorning of these parts, where the universal pile of the world, or rather the universal creation, doth consist, we see light made and divided from the darkness. We see the firmament of heaven, whether that primary body of the world between the spiritual upper waters and the inferior corporal waters, or, since this also is called heaven, the space of air through which wander the fowls of heaven, betwixt those waters which are in vapours born above them, and in clear nights distilled down in dew, and those heavier waters which flow along the earth. We behold a face of waters gathered together in the fields of the sea, and the dry land both void and formless, so as to be visible and harmonized, yay, and the matter of herbs and trees. We behold the lights shining from above, the sun to suffice for the day, the moon and the stars to cheer the night, and that by all these time should be marked and signified. We behold on all sides a moist element replenished with fishes, beasts and birds, because the grossness of the air which bears up the flights of birds thickeneth itself by the exhalation of the waters. We behold the face of the earth decked out with earthly creatures, and man created after thy image and likeness, even through that thy very image and likeness, that his the power of reason and understanding set over all irrational creatures. And as in his soul there is one power which has dominium by directing, another made subject, that it might obey, so was there for the man, corporally also, made a woman who in the mind of her reasonable understanding should have a parity of nature, but in the sex of her body should be in like manner subject to the sex of her husband, as the appetite of doing is feigned to conceive the skill of right doing from the reason of the mind. These things we behold, and they are severally good and altogether very good. CHAPTER 33 Let thy works praise thee, that we may love thee, and let us love thee, that thy works may praise thee, from which time have beginning and endings, rising and setting, growth and decay, form and privation. They have then their succession of morning and evening, part secretly, part apparently, for they were made of nothing, by thee, not of thee, not of any matter thine, or that was before, but of matter concreated, that is, at the same time created by thee, because to its state without form, thou without any interval of time didst give form. For seeing the matter of heaven and earth is one thing, and the form another, thou madeest the matter of merely nothing, but the form of the world out of the matter without form. Yet both together, so that the form should follow the matter without any interval of delay. CHAPTER 34 We have also examined what thou wilst to be shadowed forth, whether by the creation or the relation of things in such an order, and we have seen that things singly are good, and together very good, in thy word, in thy only begotten, both heaven and earth, the head and the body of the church, in thy predestination before all times, without mourning and evening. But when thou beganst to execute in time the things predestined, to the end thou mightest reveal hidden things and rectify our disorders. For our sins hung over us, and we had sunk into the dark deep, and thy good spirit was born over us to help us in due season, and thou didst justify the ungodly, and divide us them from the wicked, and thou madeest the firmament of the authority of thy book between those placed above who were to be docile unto thee, and those under who were to be subject unto them. And thou gatherest together the society of unbelievers into one conspiracy, that the zeal of the faithful might appear, and they might bring forth works of mercy, even distributing to the poor their earthly riches to obtain heavenly. And after this didst thou kindle certain lights in the firmament, thy holy ones, having the word of life, and shining with an eminent authority set on high through spiritual gifts. After that again, for the initiation of the unbelieving gentiles, didst thou out of corporal matter produce the sacraments and visible miracles, and forms of words according to the firmament of thy book, by which the faithful should be blessed and multiplied. Next didst thou form the living soul of the faithful, through affections well ordered by the vigor of continency. And after that, the mind subjected to thee alone and needing to imitate no human authority, hast thou renewed after thy image and likeness, and didst subject its rational actions to the excellency of the understanding as the woman to the man. And to all offices of thy ministry, necessary for the perfecting of the faithful in this life, thou wilst, that for their temporal uses, good things, fruitful to themselves in time to come, be given by the same faithful. All these we see, and they are very good, because thou seeest them in us, who hast given us unto thy spirit, by which we might see them, and in them love thee. Chapter 35 O Lord our God, give peace unto us, for thou hast given us all things, the peace of rest, the peace of the Sabbath which hath no evening, for all this most goodly array of things very good, having finished their courses, is to pass away, for in them there was morning and evening. Chapter 36 But the seventh day hath no evening, nor hath it setting, because thou hast sanctified it to an everlasting continuance, and that which thou didst after thy works, which were very good, resting the seventh day, although thou madest them in unbroken rest, that made the voice of thy book announce beforehand to us, that we also, after our works, therefore very good, because thou hast given them us, shall rest in thee also in the Sabbath of eternal life. Chapter 37 For then shalt thou so rest in us, as now thou workest in us, and so shalt that be thy rest through us, as these are thy works through us, but thou, Lord, ever workest, and art ever at rest, nor dost thou see in time, nor art moved in time, nor restest in time, and yet thou makest things seen in time, gay the times themselves, and the rest which results from time. Chapter 38 We therefore see these things, which thou madest, because they are, but they are, because thou seeest them, and we see without, but they are, and within, that they are good, but thou sawest them there, when made, where thou sawest them, yet to be made, and we were at later time moved to do well, after our hearts had conceived of thy spirit, but in the former time we were moved to do evil, forsaking thee, but thou, the one, the good God, didst never cease doing good, and we also have some good works of thy gift, but not eternal, after them we trust to rest in thy great hallowing, but thou, being the good which needeth no good, art ever at rest, because thy rest is thou thyself, and what man can teach man to understand this, or what angel an angel, or what angel a man, let it be asked of thee, sought in thee, knocked for at thee. So, so shall it be received, so shall it be found, so shall it be opened, amen. Gracias, TB Domini. End of book 13. And end of The Confessions by Saint Augustine, translated by E. B. Pusey.

My name is Sam Kenyanyuwe. I'm the Head of Training and Capacity Building at the Cameroon Welcome Research Program. I'm also an associate professor at the Nafil Department of Medicine. My primary research interest is in understanding immunity to malaria with a bid to inform the development of malaria vaccines. And just during this time, and I was working with really good scientists looking at different aspects of the malaria parasite and they were interested in very specific proteins, but many of them had actually not had contact with a malaria patient. So for them, malaria was essentially this molecule or this parasite that they're working with. But it just struck me how much we needed to have also people from the places where the disease is prevalent, people who have contact and who have lived experiences in some cases of the disease leading the research into malaria. And that is how I started developing the interest in building research capacity so that the center of gravity for research on African problems is actually in Africa. And in 2008, I basically shifted my position to take up the role of Head of Training in capacity building at the Kemal Welcome. So the approach we have used is that we have over the last 12 years established a comprehensive framework in which we have skins for attracting young Africans to research, for example, attachments. We then provide high quality masters and PhD training and then provide support for retention either in Africa or if not in Africa in research that is relevant to Africa through transition funding and also through postdoc and mid-career research fellowships. And we focus really on three dimensions. We focus on generic skills training, for example, proposal lighting or leadership. We also focus on the technical aspects of training, high quality supervision and mentorship and opportunities for networking and collaboration. And finally, we also focus or emphasize on operational support including providing the students with funding so that they are not struggling to focus on their studies. At the risk of sounding modest, we are really proud of what we have achieved so far. We have trained over 1,000 people. As my last count, since 2008 we have trained about 128 PhD students and at ten one time we have about 50. And indeed the leadership of the program including the incoming director Prof. Edwin Barasa trained through this scheme. So if you come to the program now, all the scientific leadership essentially are people who have trained through this pipeline. There is still a huge gap in research capacity in Africa and as I said our original focus was first developing capacity for the program and for succession planning. We then moved to looking at the region, East African region and now we are working together with other collaborators in the continent to build research across the continent and so providing the wonderful resources that the program has thanks to funders like the Wellcome Trust for training other regions that are not as well endowed. For example, we are collaborating with institution in Niger which in other countries in those regions that also are still in need of greater capacity strengthening.


Immune air pollution has numerous well-documented health effects ranging from discomfort to chronic condition and even premature deaths. Showtime and long-term exposure have been associated with detrimental health effects. The OECD has estimated the cost of premature deaths due to particulate matter to 5.1 trillion US dollar in 2015 and this estimate doesn't even take into account a large range of pollutant or health outcomes. Furthermore, we OECD expect that this cost will increase tenfold by 2060 and who is paying the cost? Well very often it is still not the polluter for at least one reason. The price of pollution is not fully integrated into his decision process. Take the example of single-use plastic bag. We all knew they had detrimental environmental effects but many of us had to wait to be effectively charged for them in order to adopt the reusable carrying bag. So what happened when we take a decision? In a classical decision-making and a classical economic evaluation setting we take into account the financial cost of two alternatives and the health benefits and we choose the alternative that provide the greatest value for money. If pollution doesn't have a price we simply don't account for it in our decision process. What this means more broadly is then when we have to decide to purchase a good or for example making an investment decision and this affects the level of pollution either as an increase or as a decrease which represent a cost or a benefit. If there is no value for pollution that we can integrate into our decision-making we simply assume that the cost of pollution is zero and this is no longer acceptable. It doesn't have to be like this. Take the example of a health care provider which has to decide between providing a treatment at home versus at hospital. The classical thought process is to take into account financial cost and health benefits. Well we show that we can simply account for carbon emission by taking into account carbon footprint costs. This was a relatively straightforward exercise because carbon can be taken into account as its global effect whereas when we want to take into account pollution we have to take into account where it is emitted and the current level of pollution. So this is a much more challenging task but not impossible and this is what we've done at Imperial College. We joined forces with UK Health Forum. We were supported by public health England and we built a truly interdisciplinary team combining public health experts, micro simulation modelers, economists and pollution modelers and we developed a model that allowed us to account to estimate local impact of pollution. So we consider small particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, seven health outcomes, for example lung cancer or respiratory disease. We consider pollution long term exposures and on the cost side we looked at national health service and social care service costs. Our model allow us to simulate different pollution level now and in the future and calculate the associated cost of this increase or decrease in pollution. For example we estimated that a region that has a high pollution level compared to region with lower pollution level could make savings that are 16 times larger by meeting the European limit of nitrogen dioxide. This type of results support priority setting and budget planning. But the true contribution of this project was the development of a tool that allow each local authority in England to input a change in pollution for any project so if it increase or decrease pollution they can input this value and get the associated cost that can be a saving or an increased cost for the health service. This local estimate of pollution a key element to be taken into account into the decision-making process. It allows for a given health benefit to choose alternative that provide a lower level of pollution. Our methodology can be expanded to different geographies and we can account for different health outcomes as well as different pollutants. We can take into account different local pollution level but this complex analysis requires more data and more evidence on the impact of pollution on health outcomes. However if we want to put systematically a price on pollution we will have to make some simplifying assumption but this allow broader integration of accounting for pollution and allow us to shift the burden of pollution to the emitters Economic evaluation are perfectly fitted to integrate the price of pollution or other markets instrument but it is only when we have a full price that incorporate all the damage of pollution that we can make decision that are socially and environmentally sustainable. Thank you.


We showcase up and show you how you can find yourself within this latest development called Delant Estate. My name is Chad and I'll be your host and today we are joined by none other than Helandi Mulman, who is the marketing manager for Engeland Falkers, Pochastrum. Helandi, thank you so much for taking some time up to join us today. Hi Chad and thanks for the opportunity. We are very excited to join you on your show. It is more than a pleasure. Pochastrum, I'm sure a lot of people tuning in are going to be reminiscing to their days where they were more carefree running down the Pochastrum strip enjoying themselves. Yes definitely and the great news is it's actually still that great living here so they should definitely come and visit or invest in property this side. I think so. I think all these development shows that I'm doing are making me very jealous of where I'm situated. I always thought Santon, I've made it, I'm done, I love where I'm living and I'm talking about people who are located in on the coast. I'm talking to people who are living in Pochastrum which is a such a nice place to be. Every time I visited I've always loved it and it's super interesting to talk to you about developments there because I was always under the impression it was a lot of beautifully established homes that was done and that was kind of in Pochastrum and evidently I was very wrong and the real estate industry in Pochastrum is booming. So can we start with give us a brief introduction about yourself, about your team, England Focus household name. So I'm sure a lot of people are very familiar with you but let's run through that quickly and just give us a brief on how people can expect dealing with you and what kind of services you guys offer. Yes definitely. So hi I'm Yolande Moeman. I'm the marketing manager at England Focus in Pochastrum. I've been here now for the company for seven years and England Focus Pochastrum we celebrated our 15th birthday this year in Poch. So we've been in the market for a long time now and we continuously do market research. We know the market and we are lucky in Pochastrum to have a very very sound property market. So I think Pochastrum is a very diverse economy you know the university we've got good hospitals, good schools and then of course the lifestyle. I think a lot of people only move to Poch for the lifestyle that you can have. It's close to the city, it's easy for commuters. There's a lot of people commuting from Halting to Pochastrum and then you have this you know where you can just go mountain biking and trail running or whatever over weekends. You don't have to drive 40 minutes or wherever to get to a place where you can start your weekend adventures. So I think they are very lucky with the environment that they have and then in England Focus we have a project division specializing in projects. So over the past 15 years we've done more than 50 projects successfully or developments successfully ranging obviously from student to residential to commercial to estates and with over I think over a thousand 300 project units sold through our division. So we really we really when you're dealing with us regarding developments we really want to offer developers a one-stop. So from A to Z. So you can literally walk into our office and announce that you want to start developing. You might never have to develop before you don't even have planned. So we can start to assist you from the land, the development land and then also the entire process. The market research regarding what should be built on the land that you required. Should it be commercial? Should it be residential? Should it be to range? Should you sell it? And then also the products development on the site. So we sit with the developer. We sit with the developers architect and our team we have a team of over 50 and our agents I mean they they deal with clients day to day so they know we need more cupboards here. This little corner will be a problem that door whatever and then we fine tune the plans up to the point where we really want to minimize the risk for the developer as much as possible. And then when we are happy and the developers happy that we have a product that we know will sell in the market like I said minimizing the risks especially in a competitive market then we launch and we go to market and we outmarket and I'll sell the development meant for the developer. So it really is a one-stop and we take all the admin and stuff out of the developers hands regarding that. I think it's always great hearing about the experience different different people in the industry have with developments because everybody's heard the horror stories about developers. So knowing they're entering into this development with Engel and Falkers you guys have got the experience you've done it all you've seen it all and you've learned from those different those different projects you've done. So you know you're moving into something that's built specifically for its purpose and that is to be a comfortable home that's going to last you forever. So it's really nice knowing that and I think every single person tuning in always listens out for the previous history or the previous experience on the developers. So I'm super glad you touched on that. Another thing I wanted to talk about here. Now I think we also we we work with a lot of developers so we also build relationships within and we know we can trust them and that they offer great great work and great projects. So I think the trust is from both from all three sides applying from us and from the developer side. Well this development the land estate could you give us an introduction to that? Yes and the land is a very interesting one. We started with the land estate about 11 years ago and got off enter our indie and started the research on the land estate. So it's a 30 hectare estate and at that time it wasn't even in the hands of the current developers. The developer is the old screw. So they acquired in the meantime and then Coral worked with them. So you soon realised that 30 hectares is a lot of estate for quarter stream and you can't just put the same product down in the entire 30 hectare estate you have to broaden the market. So what an immediate need was at that time and still is retirement accommodation firstly. You saw that while in part of Strem all the retirement facilities are full and the waiting lists are long and even in all the surrounding towns the retirement accommodation was full with long waiting lists and also the accommodation available offered a room or a house but not really a lifestyle and it's retirement should be a phase of your life that you enjoy so we wanted to offer to address the need for accommodation but also to offer a lifestyle for that phase of your life. So that's where it started and then now we sit with the 30 hectare estate five hectares of the 30 hectares or for 55 plus so it's a 55 plus village a retirement village and then the other 25 hectares are for all ages and so you can even buy your house in the rest of the land estate I'm still wanting to retire there but there is the option of the 55 plus village. So now we have a multi-generational estate for all ages I think that makes it really exciting and there's a lot of amenities on offer on the estate as well the care services the security so that was the big need an estate and then secondly security so as you know security is getting a bigger issue all the time and since as I mentioned we have a lot of clients moving to watch a stream from Haltain so security is an even bigger issue for them and then maybe for born and bred watch of stormers so we really needed to get excellent security if you put down an estate and we went with the developer and we visited security sites in Haltain, and we talked to their head of security and your own sites and we asked them what did they learn over the past few years at their sites and what worked what did they implement what did they see where were they might be a few gaps that they needed to address and we learned from them and then we came back and implemented everything here at the land state in order to provide really the best security that potassium has seen up to date so I think that's the second thing and then then the lifestyle that you can enjoy inside that security obviously so maybe just a brief overview then so the land state is this particular multi-generational estate five vectors is then a 55 plus belief with five different complexes there's a restaurant the care center and then in the rest of the estate that's for all ages of course there's been the the race one stands where you can build your own full title home and there are also development stands as well race two and race three stands so ideally then that's for developers and we have a few complexes currently busy with integrated land states as well so essentially it seems like you catered for every single thing somebody could possibly want within the land estate you've got all the different I'd say complexes or smaller developments within the land estate as well as then the retirement development so I mean if you're looking to have your parents retire anywhere and you're living in potch or you want to move to potch you can have them retire close to you and also within the same security in that which I'm sure must be incredible it's Sacha and I's offering to know that your family is going to be super close by considering how tight the South African families are and they are still benefiting off the security and all the other things that you've put within that estate yes definitely and I think we're really aimed as you say to include a wide range of people in their state so if you want just a small life up and go smart upmarket then there's something for you if you want the large garden with the space for your kids to play then there's something for you if you want retirement option then there's something for you so there really is something to run and that also once again minimizes the risk for the developer that they so we target more markets than just one single market so if we start looking at prices if we start with the retirement home what does it what are the prices the if we just talk about starting from price so for the retirement section for the 25 plus village as I said there are five complexes now the first one the the upsell and they are currently sold out but they are being rented so mostly the sole thing to invest in and they are being rented and and the rent there is from 66 a month it is for one bedroom for the kitchen need various sizes and then also an additional 2800 grand for a a care package including meals including food treatment blood pressure measurements cleaning services laundry services etc so it's a relative basic care package and that's the only development inside that I understand where any sort of care package is actually included so those units we call assisted living units and then we obviously have the care as the assistant the assistant spot then we have the hook now the hook is also in 55 plus village and their homes and they only have I think about six or seven left and they are from 1.2 to 5 million at the moment then we have 8 span I think there's only five left as well after 27 8 span homes and they are from 2.175 million and all of the of the retirement homes and all the land state actually is pet friendly we now are important at pet friendly environment is so they all have small proud gardens and then Val Ferdinand is the other complex in the 55 plus we are launching that now actually we launched that a week ago so and that's larger homes two and three bedroom homes in Val Ferdinand we also have three homes with wine sellers so I think Val Ferdinand homes they are from 2.385 million and then they're afraid of the last one in 55 plus complex after 45 minutes there we actually only have five left and they're two bedrooms left and they are from 1.3 million I think you've put a lot of people in in a bit of a pickle yeah they if their parents are watching this with them they're going to say you know you know son I wouldn't mind a wine sale in my home right now yes that's an ideal I mean a wine selling a retirement home that speaks to a lot of people and and I wanted to say another thing and that's it looks like your retirement section is selling out really really fast so people who do want to purchase within they need to purchase now yes definitely and I think we've seen as well that it's not just the small ones you need a variety in the 55 plus village so there's a lot of people I mean they still want a room for their kids an extra room when the kids come and visit with the grant kids come and visit so we really have large options available as well we have smaller options kind of a log up and go and that's the nice thing I think of the smaller options as well the estate itself offers such a nice environment such a nice outside environment a community friends the restaurant so even if you do pick the one bedroom options you have a very much a larger space actually to enjoy your life so even just that on the divorce well I think this is the perfect segue into looking at what the islander state has to offer so we'll take a short break and when we come back I'm very excited to talk to you what you have on offer outside of the 55 plus range let's take a quick break and we'll be right back good afternoon and welcome back to the developer show my name is Chad and I'll be your host and if you're just tuning in with us you've missed out on a lot you're gonna have to rewind but I'm joined today by Helandi Mulman who is a marketing manager for england focus potter's room and she is presenting to us their latest offering and it is a beautiful offering located in potter's room called deland estate now Helandi we were chatting about the 55 plus retirement village can we talk a bit about what's on offer outside of that could you give us a run through with what you have yes definitely so I'm going to recap so it's the 38 estate with only five vectors for 55 plus and then the 25 vectors for all ages and we really have quite a lot of nice offerings in there so in phase one and that's all the all the residential one raise one school title stands are all sold out and then obviously there's a lot of people already living on the land state so you can either buy a computer house there or you can buy a stand there are only 12 stands left in phase two and after the state of the 40 stands in phase two so if you are looking for a stand there really aren't a lot of a lot of them left so you have to jump quickly and then they have the development stands as well so we are currently busy with two developments for all ages in the land state the board and then more land which will be launching launching soon now the board is a very nice very upmarket project 22 houses and studios and the three bedroom homes are all sold out and we only have the two bedroom studios left large spacious studios 140 squares they go from 1.55 million and we are really excited about them as that is the first type of studio that Forge actually has ever seen so it reminds me more about something that you'll find in Joberg in Tansun and even you know like in New York a very nice a light-filled spacious studio so we're excited about that I think and that's something that the watch market will really enjoy and then we have six development stands left in phase two now the internal services phase two are being completed at the moment so if you are a developer and you want to look at a development stand you can buy the stand and go on site early 2021 so really the timeline is ideal there and the stands we have for developers are from about 6600 square that will rest two stands up to over 20,000 square so you can do a small development or a larger development in phase two after lunch and as I said there are only the two developments that we are busy with for all ages so there really is space for getting those sites and putting up a nice development there in the greater United States as well. And the amenities we've touched on it quite well very briefly that you've got the restaurants available there you've also got the nursery and could you talk to me more about what is available for residents maybe not only from say a purchasing point of view or an eating point of view but are there clubhouses available and the green belts that you have available can you talk about that? Yes so okay as I said there's the Duskir restaurant and what's nice is that there's the obviously the restaurant part but then for residents of the 55 plus village or for the inside of the land actually you can also order meals so very convenient I mean you can order your meals for your family and pick it up when you get back from work so it's super convenient and it adds to the entire the land lifestyle. Then also the the care centre on the land estate is situated in the 55 plus village now the care centre is operated by the Port of Ström service centre for the age they are very well known and very well trusted I think which is more important even and they offer the care services at the 55 plus village now what is very interesting about that is that the care centre is only an eight bed care centre and I think a lot of people hear that and they go like oh eight that's not enough but the fact is they believe that the care services they offer are best offered inside the comfort of your own home so anything that they can offer you inside the care centre they can offer you inside your home in the 55 plus village or for that matter in the greater land estate and nurses and care workers that can really offer you everything as I said in the comfort of your own home so they run that and they also run great programs socialising programs during the entire week they offer traveling or driving services with a little combi that they have so everything that you might need if you do want to retire they will offer trips holidays they go on their most amazing trips more than once a year so you really buy into an entire new community and friends etc but there's a library there's a hair salon so a little boardroom and then the restaurant also has conference facilities so I think it really is a one-stop and then also obviously as the land estate is for the entire family there's the the nursery school so the nursery school opened a year ago and as I understand they're fully booked for next year as well so really they definitely was a big demand for that and I think it's so convenient I mean when you go after work you drop the little ones at the nursery school and you pick them up and they'll at the same estate where you are so once again it adds to the convenience of the lifestyle and then the land estate also has a lot of green areas to offer so as I said we did a lot of research regarding the security so that you can enjoy the lifestyle and offer inside the security so there's the there's green areas walkways there's a boulevard a tree line boulevard when you enter and with paved walkways and then there's also a park with items for the kids to play on there's little benches where you can sit and relax watch the sunset or watch the kids play when you when you go to the land estate at four in the afternoon um there's this buzz of people you know somebody's walking their dog somebody's cycling somebody's uh jogging so there really is a lot of activity and you can see that the people living there are really enjoying the lifestyle that there isn't offer there are also communal fruit um a fruit communal fruit orchard so that's very nice and I mean especially imagine you can go and quickly pick some lemons for your dinner um for your salad and then there are herb gardens so you can quickly go and pick a few leaves or something for your salad as well and um then just the green areas where you can enjoy being outside I mean if you look at the the situation in in the inside of Africa and the inside world you don't want to go outside and go for a walk on your own but here you can actually do that so if your kids want to go for a cycle in the afternoon you don't want to see anything into the street but now you can they're going to cycle inside the estate inside the security of the state they don't have to worry about cost they'll pay for walkways and cycle routes so um you can really have that piece of money and the lifestyle you know it's always great to see just how much effort some developers put into the estate and you can see with what you've talking about as well spoken about sorry my English has run away from me what you've spoken about just the thought process you put in because it's not often you see so much available and purchasing a house is something I say all the time purchasing a house that's a 20 year investment that's a 20 year relationship that you've made and it's so daunting finding a place within a location that you're super happy with and very pleased to live possibly the rest of your life there and seeing what you've done you know that without a shadow of a doubt that's going to be the location you'd want to live for 20 years for the rest of your life I mean I can only imagine taking a walk through your herb gardens or your fruit orchards on a summer afternoon with a fresh air because you're away from the city you can watch the stream as well so that super fresh air that beautiful breeze it is so relaxing knowing that your kids can go and have a cycle without them you're wondering where they are or do they need to be back off the dock and that leads me to the next question that is security we've touched on it a bit we haven't really went in depth and that is what security is on offer yes I just want to add and on what you said the all screwed the developers really thought about this a lot and we did a lot of market research with them and they always deliver so when they when they said they're going to do something they do it and they do it very well so I think that really is part of the success of this development is the developer actually the all scripted a fantastic job and they're still doing a fantastic job so regarding the security we have 2.7 meter security rules as I said we really did a lot of research maybe just to recap so we visited the security states in halting and we we learned from them first hand I don't want to say from them mistakes but almost we learned from them first hand and then we implemented it so now we have the 2.7 meter high boundary wall the wall as a cavity for the steel etc on top of the wall they also additional electrical painting we have a really set of the art entrance regarding security and access control because I think that's where a lot of the the security mess ups happen the access control but we really have excellent access control at the non-state especially obviously since they are also still construction in progress so that there's a lot of work there and then the camera systems are monitored 24 hours 24-hour access control and then also inside the perimeter of the land for state there is a three meter zone so it's 2.6 kilometer route inside the perimeter wall and that is there for security reasons obviously you can enjoy the 2.6 kilometers on your afternoon exercise rounds as well but the 2.6 kilometer perimeter route is actually you know monitored and frequently watched and the cameras are there as well so that's really all the access points to the states are being monitored all the time well Helene the next question then is you've sold me I want to purchase in Dylanda state what is the process so I'd pick up the phone I'd call England focus budget strip I'd probably redirect it to one of one of your agents there what happens what would the agent tell me what do I possibly need to have in preparation for speaking to one of your agents and how does it move on for there are they show units that I can possibly take a look at could you run me through what purchasing within Dylanda state feels like yes definitely so actually very fortunately we have a very large open day coming up the 6th of November so Friday 6th November from 9 in the morning until 6 an open day of the inside line to state we have a really large offering and show houses for each of the developments on offer obviously as well as the stands and everything the restaurant will be open and we have FM radio on site that day as well the nursery school will be there so you can really it's like an open day for everything you can visit the nursery school visit the 50 plus village check up the stands so our agents will be there the entire day and to show people around and you know people always want to experience first and so they want to walk through the units they want to see all the available units they want to see how the gardens look so of course if you are an investor and you are only looking to invest and you can just contact us directly and in focus and we obviously will then help you with all the information that you need or financials etc for making the correct investment choice but if you are the end user then you want to do everything that is on offer so we have shown units of every complex inside the Dylanda state and then obviously we would love to take you through and even the open day is a great event and we are very excited about that but we are available our agents are available 24 7 so whenever it suits you you can just contact England focus we are very proud to exclusively market the old strips developments and we will anytime take you through the development it's always nice to go through everything and then stop at the restaurant for a coffee or a lunch and talk about everything that you've viewed so I think I would definitely suggest make an outing of it and visit the entire state and we hope that we would see a lot of reviews actually on the 6th of November. Well Helandi that brings me then to our closing question that is you've got a relationship with private property and how has that relationship helped you with marketing these different developments? Well I think this actually is another excellent example so we appreciate the platform the private property offers service and the response it's nice to know who to contact if you have a question and the private property we have that and also to know you will get an answer and you will get it quickly as well as all the marketing exposure on your website as well and I think this is just an example of going the extra mile because this is an offering the development show that is very unique that we haven't seen before and I think you saw the the gap in the market and you offered it to your clients and something that we obviously very appreciate since it's an additional above and beyond exposure more than know what the agreement actually was so I think really definitely great service. Well Helandi we are definitely here to grow with you and I'm sure every single person tuning in definitely enjoyed having this conversation. Helandi state what an incredible offering so I think guys 6th of November pack some snacks grab the family take a trip down to the fortress to take a look at the offering bed go away with Helandi if you see her but Helandi thank you so much for taking some time out of your day to have this conversation with us. Thanks for the pleasure and we really appreciate it it was great talking to you about the London State. I enjoyed it as well for everybody tuning in thank you so much for taking some time out and also spending this half an hour with us we will see you again for another episode of the developer show next week thank you all and

In the name of the most mighty speaker O possessors of intelligence and hearing This is the first utterance of the beloved O nightingale of reality Seek not refuge except in the flower garden of the inner significance O Hoopó messenger of the Solomon of love Dwell not but in the sheba of the beloved O Griffin of eternity Choose not to habitation But in the mount of faithfulness This is thy resting place If thou flyest to the placeless with the wings of life And betakest thyself to thine own station 2. O son of spirit Every bird seeks a nest And each nightingale desires the beauty of the flower Except the birds of the minds of men Who are contented with mortal dust And are far from the eternal nest Depending upon the clay of remoteness And casting away the flowers of nearness Most wonderful, regretful, and mournful is it That for a single water pitcher They have deprived themselves from the waves of the supreme companion And kept afar from the horizon of Abha 3. O friends Plant not but flowers of love In the garden of the mind And withdraw not thine hand From holding to the nightingale of affection and yearning Esteem the companionship of the just But withdraw both thy mind and thy hand From the friendship of the wicked 4. O son of justice What lover can dwell But in the native land of the beloved And what seeker can repose Far from the desired one A sincere lover lives But when near the beloved And dies in separation His breast is void of patience And his mind destitute of endurance He casts away a hundred thousand lives And flees hastily to the abode of the beloved 5. O son of the dust Verily I say The most unmindful of men Is whosoever disputes And seeks to exalt himself Above his own brother Say, O brethren Array yourselves in action And not in speech 6. O children of the earth Know verily That a heart in which the least trace of envy remains Shall assuredly never enter My eternal might And shall never feel the fragrance of sanctity From my holy kingdom 7. O son of love There is only one step Between thee and the tree Of the exaltation of love Plant the first foot Then with the other Step into the everlasting kingdom And so enter under the canopy of eternity Then hearken unto that Which hath descended from the pen of honour 8. O son of honour Be swift in the way of holiness And step into the heavens of intimacy Clear the mind with the burnish of the spirit And direct thyself to the field of the most high 9. O perishing shadow Abandon the low degrees of fancies And ascend the exalted heights of certainty Open the eye of truth And you will behold the manifest beauty And will say Wherefore blessed be God The most excellent of creators 10.   O possessor of two eyes Close one eye and open the other That is, close the one to the world And what is therein And open the other to the holy beauty Of the beloved 13. O my children I fear that before having enjoyed the melody of the nightingale Ye may return to the region of mortality And not having yet seen the beauty of the flower Ye may return to the water and clay 14. O friends Cast not away the everlasting beauty For the beauty that is mortal And be not bound by this earthly world 15. O son of spirit The time cometh when the nightingale of true holiness Will be prevented from explaining the mysteries Of the inner significances And ye all will be deprived Of the glorified melody of the merciful one 16. O essence of negligence Alas, that hundred thousand real languages Are spoken by one tongue And that a hundred thousand invisible senses Are unveiled in one melody But there is no ear to hearken Nor a mind to comprehend a single letter 17. O companions The gates of the placeless kingdom are opened And the city of the beloved is adorned With the blood of the lovers But all are bereft of this spiritual city Except a few And also out of this few Have appeared but very few With pure minds and holy souls 18. O people Of the delectable paradise A prize the followers of assurance That a new orchard hath appeared Near the resvan in the plain of holiness And that all the people of the high heavens And the dwellers of the eternal paradise Are surrounding it Endeavour to reach that station And discover the truths of the mystery of love From its red anemones And unveil abundant knowledge Of the oneness from its eternal fruits Enlightened are the eyes of whosoever Entereth it safely 19. O my friends Have ye forgotten that clear bright morn When ye were all in my presence In that blessed plain Under the shade of the tree of Anisar Planted in the greatest paradise When I spake unto ye Three blessed words The hearing of which confounded ye all These are those words O friends Choose not your pleasure instead of mine Never wish that which I have not ordained for ye And approach me not with dead minds Stained with desire and hope If ye purify your hearts Ye will ponder over the state of the plain of that court And then my explanation will be known to ye all Note, the tree of Anisar is the same as the tree of life Mentioned in Genesis and Revelations End of section one Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater Recorded in London, England Section two of the Persian Hidden Words Revealed by Bahá'u'lláh Translated by Anton Haddad This is a LibriVox recording All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain For more information or to volunteer Please visit LibriVox.org Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater The Persian Hidden Words Revealed by Bahá'u'lláh Section two Persian Hidden Words Twenty to thirty-eight Twenty In the eighth of the lines of holiness In the fifth tablet of paradise He commands saying O dead men on the bed of negligence Centuries have passed And ye have ended your precious lives Yet not a single pure soul Hath ever come to our field of holiness Ye are talking in oneness Whilst ye are drowned in the sea of polytheism Ye have loved the one world Which is hated by me And ye have taken my enemy As your own friend Ye are walking with the greatest pleasure And mirth upon my earth Heedless that my earth detests you And that the things of the earth Are fleeing from you If ye open your eyes but a little Ye will know that a hundred thousand griefs Are better than thy pleasure And will count death As more to be preferred than this life Twenty one O moving dust I am attached to thee Whilst thou art without hope in me The sword of rebellion Hath cut off the tree of thy hope I am in all wise near unto thee Whilst in every condition Thou art far from me I have chosen unceasing honour for thee Whilst thou hast wished An endless humility for thyself Enough, while there is yet time Repent and lose not the opportunity Twenty two O son of passion The possessors of wisdom and insight Struggled for years And did not attain union with the most exalted They all splendid Made haste all their lives And did not meet the most beautiful But thou hast attained the destination Without hastening And hast gained thy desire Without seeking Yet after gaining all these degrees and ranks Thou art so covered with the veil of thyself That thine eyes did not behold The beauty of the beloved And thine hand did not touch The hem of the loved one Therefore marvel at this, O possessors of insight Twenty three O dwellers in the country of love Mortal winds have surrounded the eternal candle And the beauty of the spiritual youth Is shrouded in dull and dark dust The king of kings of love is oppressed By the hand of the subjects of tyranny And the nightingale of holiness Is clutched in the talons of owls All the abiders under the canopy of Abhar And of the supreme kingdom of the most high Are moaning and wailing While ye are seated at ease Upon the earth of negligence And have counted yourselves of the sincere lovers Therefore that which ye suppose is false Twenty four O ignorant ones who have a reputation for knowledge Why do ye claim to be shepherds Whilst inwardly ye have become wolves of my sheep Your likeness resembles the star proceeding the dawn Which is apparently bright and luminous But in reality leads the caravans of my country And city astray and causes their destruction Twenty five O perfect in appearance And inwardly defective Your example is like unto a clear but bitter water Which shows outwardly the utmost purity and clearness But when it falls into the hands of the divine assayer Not a single drop of it is accepted Ye the radiance of the sun Shines upon the dust and upon the mirror But there is a great difference between the earth And the guarding stars Nay, the distance between them is illimitable Twenty six O my friend by word Consider a little Hast thou ever heard That a heart could contain both the beloved and the stranger? Then send away the stranger So the beloved will enter his own dwelling Twenty seven O sun of the dust I have ordained for thee All things in the heavens and in the earth Except the hearts Which I have appointed as a place For the descent of the radiance of my own beauty And splendour And thou hast relinquished my dwelling And my place to one besides me So that whenever the appearance of my holiness Came into his own place Finding there someone besides himself And beholding a stranger He hastened back homeless To the sacred precincts of the beloved Notwithstanding I covered this And disclosed not the secret Desiring not thy shame Twenty eight O essence of passion How many mornings I came From the orient of the placeless Unto thy place And found thee upon the bed of ease Occupied with other than myself And returned like the spiritual lightning To the clouds of kingly honour And in the retreat of my nearness Declared it not before the hosts of holiness Twenty nine O sun of generosity Thou wart in the deserts of nonexistence But I made thee By the means of the earth of command To appear in the world of possession And I charged all the atoms of contingency And the realities of creation With thine education So that before issuing from thy mother's womb I ordained to thee Two springs of bright milk I appointed eyes to guard thee Set thy love in all minds And with pure generosity I reared thee under the shadow of my mercy And surrounded thee with the essence Of my favour and grace By all this I intended to enable thee To enter our eternal might And deserve our invisible presence But thou, O heedless one When thou didst reach maturity Neglected all my favours And occupied thyself With thy false imaginations So that thou didst entirely forget me And leaving the door of the beloved Went and dwelt in the porch of the enemy Thirty O servant of the world Many mornings the breeze of my grace Passed through thee And found thee upon the couch of heedlessness And wept over thy condition And turned back Thirty-one O son of the earth If thou lovest me Love none other besides me If thou desireth my beauty Withdraw thine eye from the people of the world Because my love And the love of that which is beside me Is like fire and water Which cannot be enclosed In the same mind and heart Thirty-two O stranger to the friend The candle of thy mind Is kindled by the hand of my power Then quench it not The contrary winds of strong desires and passions The healer of all thy diseases Is my remembrance Forget it not Make my love thy capital And cherish it as the spirit of thine eye Thirty-three O my brother Hear my beautiful words From my pleasant tongue And drink the true salsabil of holiness Water of life From my sweet lips That is, so the seeds of my divine wisdom In the holy ground of the mind And water it with conviction Then the hyacinth of my wisdom and knowledge While spring up verdantly in the holy city The heart Thirty-four O people of the garden of my paradise I set the plant of your affection and friendship In the holy flower bed of paradise With the hand of compassion And watered it with the showers of mercy Now is it near to bearing fruit Make an effort that it may be preserved And be not burned with the fire of desire and lust Thirty-five O my friends Quench the lamp of error And illuminate the eternal torch of guidance In the mind and heart For in a short while The assayers of the existence Shall accept naught but pure virtue In the portico of the presence of the adored one And will receive none but holy deeds Thirty-six O son of the soil The wise among the people Are those who speak not Unless they find a listener As the cup-bearer never offers a cup Unless he finds one desiring it And as the lover who, unless he has attained To the beauty of the beloved Never cries out from the depths of his soul Therefore ye also Should sow the grains of knowledge and wisdom In the holy ground of the mind And conceal them there Until the hyacinth of divine wisdom Springs up in the heart And not in the clay Thirty-seven It is recorded and written In the first line of the tablet And is concealed under the covering Of divine preservation O my servant Give not up the eternal dominion For a carnal desire And cast not away the kingdom of paradise For a lust This is the kauthar, water of life Which flows from the source of the merciful pen Blessed be, whosoever drinketh it Thirty-eight O son of spirit Shatter the cage And soar loftily In the air of holiness Like the homar of love Leave the ego And repose with souls of mercy In the lordly court of holiness Homar is the name of a bird Somewhat larger than a dove It is rarely seen But there is a Persian tradition That whoever is once under the shadow of its wings Shall surely become a king End of section two Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater Recorded in London, England Section three of the Persian hidden words Revealed by Bahá'u'lláh This is a LibriVox recording All

Section three Persian Hidden Words 39-57 O son of ashes Be not contented With the repose of a single day And cast not away The everlasting rest Exchange not the immortal garden Of perpetual delight For the earthly furnace of mortality Ascend from the dungeon To the beautiful country of life And repair to the alluring garden of the placeless From the cage of existence 40 O my servant Shake off the fetters of worldly possessions And free thyself from the prison of the self Seize the opportunity Because thou shalt never see this time again Nor shalt thou find a similar opportunity 41 O son of my maid servant If thou couldst see the immortal dominion Surely thou wouldst cast aside the mortal possession With all determination But there is a wisdom in the former being covered And some mysteries in the latter being manifest Which only holy minds can comprehend 42 O my servant Purge thy mind from malice And set out for the holy presence of the unity Free from envy 43 O my friends Walk in the path of the will of the friend His will hath been And will be in his creatures For no one must enter the home of his friend Against his will Neither dispose of his property Nor prefer his own will to his will Nor claim precedence in any wise Then think upon this O possessors of reflection 44 O friend of my throne Hear not evil And behold not evil Degrade not thyself, neither lament That is utter no evil words And thou shalt not hear them Think not the faults of others to be great And thine own faults will not seem great Be not pleased with the abasement of any soul And then thine own abasement will not be seen So with pure heart, holy mind Sanctified breast And upright thoughts During all the days of thy life Which are counted less than an instant Thou mayest be detached And return with ease from this mortal body To the paradise of inner significance And abide in the immortal kingdom 45 Woe to ye, woe to ye, oh lovers Of lustful passions Ye have left the spiritual beloved With the swiftness of lightning And have attached your hearts firmly To devilish thoughts Ye worship fancy and call it fact Ye are gazing at a thorn And call it a flower Not a free breath have ye drawn Neither hath a breeze of self-renouncement Blown from the garden of your minds Ye have cast to the winds The compassionate advices of the beloved Ye face them from the tablet of your minds And have become as low animals Feasting in the pastures of lust and desire 46 Oh brothers of the path Why are ye heedless of the remembrance of the beloved And why are ye far from the presence of the friend The absolute beauty is established upon the throne of glory Under the peerless canopy While ye are engaged in argument According to your own passion The fragrances of holiness are wafting And the breezes of generosity are blowing But ye have lost the power to smell And are unable to sense any of them Woe unto you and unto whosoever Followeth in your steps And walketh in your footprints 47 Oh children of desire Divest yourselves from the garment of vanities And strip yourselves from the robe of pride 48 In the third of the lines of holiness Of the ruby tablet It is inscribed in fine type Oh brethren Deal with one another in kindness And cut your minds from the world Neither boast when in honour Nor be ashamed when in abasement I swear by my own beauty That I have created ye all from the dust And will assuredly turn ye all again unto dust 49 Oh children of dust Make known to the rich The wailing of the poor Lest the latter be brought to ruin Through their heedlessness And have no share in the tree of good fortune Mercy and generosity are both of my qualities Happiness unto him who adorneth himself With my characteristics 50 Oh essence of passion Cast aside greed And be satisfied with contentment Because the covetous have always been deprived Of all good Whilst the contented have been beloved And accepted 51 Oh son of my maid servant Be neither troubled in poverty Nor at ease in wealth All poverty is succeeded by wealth And all wealth is followed by poverty Destitution of everything That is beside God is the greatest gift Despise it not Because in the end thereof The wealth of God will appear This condition is hidden In the verse of the Quran Thou art the poor And the blessed word God only is wealthy Shall appear, shine, blaze forth And glitter as the true morn From the horizon of the lover's mind And shall be established and stationed Upon the throne of wealth 52 Oh children of heedlessness and passion Ye have brought my enemy to my home And have sent away my friend from ye Know that ye have placed the love of another Than myself in the mind Listen to the saying of the friend And approach his garden Outward friends have loved and loved each other Only with regard to their own interests But the real friend loveth And hath loved ye for the sake of yourselves Nay rather he hath accepted countless afflictions For your special guidance Oppress not such a friend But hasten to his abode This is the son of the word of truth And faithfulness which hath arisen From the horizon of the finger of the possessor of names Open your ears to hear the word of God The protector, the self-subsisting 53 Oh ye who are puffed up by mortal possessions Know that wealth is a strong barrier Betwixt the seeker and the desired one Between the lover and the beloved A few only of the wealthy Shall enter the abode of nearness And come into the city of contentment and resignation Then good is the condition of that wealthy one Whom wealth preventeth not From the everlasting kingdom And a private knot of the eternal riches I swear by the greatest name That the light of that wealthy one Shall impart brightness to the celestial inhabitants As the sun to the dwellers of the earth 54 Oh wealthy ones of the earth The needy are a trust of mine among ye Then protect them carefully And be not wholly occupied with your own ease 55 Oh child of passion Be pure from the stain of wealth And step into the heavens of poverty With all tranquility Then thou shalt drink the wine of eternity From out the source of death 56 Oh my son, the companionship of the wicked Increaseeth sorrow And the fellowship of the just Removeeth rust from off the mind Whosoever desireth to be associated with God Let him associate with his lovers And whosoever desireth to hear the speech of God Let him harken unto the speeches of his chosen ones 57 Oh son of dust Beware, befriend not the wicked And seek not his companionship Because the society of the wicked Changeeth the light of the spirit Into the fire of hell End of section 3 Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater Recorded in London, England Section 4 of the Persian Hidden Words Revealed by Bahá'u'lláh

Bridgewater The Persian Hidden Words Revealed by Bahá'u'lláh Section 4 Persian Hidden Words 58-82 58 Oh son of my maid servant If thou seekest the outpouring of the Holy Spirit Be a companion of the noble For the just have drunk of the cup of immortality From the hand of the cup-bearer of eternity And they quicken, illuminate and brighten the minds of the dead As doth the true dawn 59 Oh heedless ones Suppose not that the mysteries of minds are veiled Nay, rather, know surely That they are inscribed in clear type And are visible in the threshold of the presence 60 Oh friends, truly I say All that ye have concealed in your minds is Before us, clear, manifest And evident as the day But the cause of veiling them Is from our generosity and favor Not from your merit 61 Oh son of man I poured out a dew from the vast ocean of my mercy Upon the dwellers of the world And have not found one approaching Because all have drawn near to the impure water of wine And have left the immortal, delicate wine of unity And, turning from the cup of the immortal beauty Have contented themselves with the mortal cup How evil is that with which they are contented Close not thine eye to the peerless wine Of the eternal beloved one And open not thine eye to the turbid and mortal wine Take immortal cups from the hand of the cup-bearer of oneness And thou shalt become all consciousness And listen to the invisible utterance of reality Say, oh worthless ones Why have ye turned from my eternal holy wine To mortal water 62 Omitted by Anton Haddad 63 Say, oh dwellers of the earth Know verily that sudden calamity is following ye And a great eagle is pursuing ye Believe not that all that ye have committed Is effaced from before my sight I swear by my beauty That all your deeds are engraved With a clear pen upon chrysalite tablets 64 Oh tyrants of the earth Withdraw your hands from oppression For I have sworn not to pass over anyone's oppression This is a covenant which I have decreed In the preserved tablet A tablet kept in heaven and preserved From the least change or corruption And sealed it with the seal of might 65 Oh rebellious ones My forbearance hath emboldened ye And my patience hath led ye to negligence So that ye ride fearlessly upon the mount Of the fire of passion in the fatal, dangerous path Perchance ye have counted me heedless And supposed me to be unconscious 66 Oh emigrants The tongue is specially for my commemoration Pollute it not with slander If ye be conquered by fiery passion Occupy yourselves with mentioning your own faults And not with slandering my creatures Because everyone is more conscious of And better informed of his own soul Than of the souls of my servants 67 Oh children of imagination Know that when the bright morn shall arise From the eternal horizon of holiness Then assuredly all the devilish secrets And deeds which have been committed In the dark night shall appear And become manifest to the people of the world 68 Oh plant of the earth How is it that thou wilt not touch thine own dress With hands soiled with sugar Whilst with thy mind soiled With the filth of passion and lust Thou seekest intercourse with me And desirous to be directed To the dominions of my holiness Alas, alas for that which ye have desired 69 Oh sons of Adam Good words and pure and holy deeds Ascend to the glorious heaven of the unity Strive and thy deeds will be purged From the dust of hypocrisy And from the turbidness of passion and desire Then enter the glorious court of acceptance For in a short while the assayers of the existence In the portico of the presence of the worshipped one Shall accept naught but pure virtue And shall admit naught besides pure deeds This is the sun of wisdom and significances Which hath arisen from the horizon Of the mouth of the lordly will Blessed are those who approach 70 Oh son of delight The plane of being is a pleasant plane If thou dost enter it The court of immortality is a goodly court If thou wilt step beyond the dominion of mortality And the joy of intoxication is sweet If thou drinkest the chalice of the inner significances From the hands of the divine youth Shouldst thou attain these degrees Thou wilt become free from mortality Annihilation, affliction, and error 71 Oh my friends Remember the covenant ye entered into with me Upon the mount of Paran Situated under the blessed shrine of Timon I took as witness to that covenant The supreme concourse And the companions of the city of life Now I find not one who is steadfast in that covenant Surely pride and disobedience Have effaced it from the minds In such wise that not a trace of it has remained And although knowing this I have endured it patiently And have not divulged it Note, Timon is the Hebrew word for time In this sense it refers to the eternity of God 72 Oh my servant Thy likeness is like unto a jeweled sword Concealed in a dark sheath By reason of which its value is not known to the jewelers Then cast aside the sheath of lust and desire And thy essence shall become open and clear to all creatures 73 Oh my friend Thou art the sun of the sky of my holiness Defile not thyself with the eclipse of this world Tear off the veil of heallessness And thou shalt emerge unveiled and uncovered From behind the cloud And shalt array all beings with the robe of honour of life 74 Oh children of pride For a few days mortal reign Ye have rejected my immortal Empyrean might and dominion And are arraying yourselves in red and yellow Flaunting yourselves because of this I swear by my beauty That I will bring all under the unicoloured tent of dust And annul the colours of all Save those who choose my beauty Which is pure from all colour 75 Oh children of heedlessness Be not gladdened by mortal sovereignty And attach not your mind thereunto Your likeness is like unto a heedless bird Warbling with all tranquility Upon a branch in a garden When suddenly the hunter of death Shots it down There will not remain in it any trace of melody, form, or colour Then take advice, O servant of passion 76 Oh child of my maid servant Guidance hath been always by words But in this time it is by deeds That is, all holy deeds must appear from the temple of man Because all agree in words But pure and holy deeds are appointed to our friends Then strive with your life To be distinguished among all people by deeds Whereunto we exhort ye in the shining tablet of holiness 77 Oh son of justice In the eye of beauty The temple of immortality Returned to the Sadratul Montaha From the emerald hill of faithfulness And wept with such a weeping That all the sublime concourse And the cherubim wept because of his grief When besought the reason of lamentation and wailing He declared, I was waiting according to the command Upon the hill of faithfulness And found not the scent of fidelity From the dwellers of the earth Therefore I returned and declared unto them That many nightingales of holiness Are suffering in the claws of the dogs of the earth Whereupon the divine hoories ran Uncovered and unveiled from the spiritual palace And questioned the latter's names, the sufferers All were mentioned except one, a name of the names As they insisted, the first letter of the name Flowed forth from the tongue At which the people of the upper chambers Ran forth from their retreats of honor When it came to the second letter All dropped down in the dust At that time this proclamation Came forth from the retreat of nearness Saying, more than this is not permissible Verily we were witness to that which they have done And are doing at this time Note, Sadratul Montaha is the name of a tree Planted by the Arabs in ancient times At the end of the road to serve as a guide Here it is used as a symbol of every manifestation Of God in his age 78, oh child of my maid servant Drink the salsabil of significances The river of life from the tongue of the merciful one And behold the radiance of the lights of the sun Of explanation unveiled and uncovered From the dayspring of the word of the praised one Scatter the seeds of my immediate wisdom In the pure ground of the mind And water it with the water of certainty And the hyacinths of my science and wisdom Shall spring up verdantly from the pure city The mind 79, oh son of passion For how long flyest thou in the sensual air I granted thee wings that thou mightest Soar in the holy airs of significance And not in the plain of devilish imaginations I favoured thee with a comb That thou mightest comb my musk-scented locks And not to wound my throat 80, oh my servant Ye are the trees of my garden Ye must appear with wonderful and imperishable fruits That both yourselves and others may be profited Therefore it is incumbent upon all To be employed in arts and trades This is the means of wealth Oh possessors of intellects Verily, affairs are depending upon instruments By which the favour of God will enrich ye Fruitless trees have been And will be only fit for fire 81, oh my servant The basest of men are the souls Who appear fruitless upon the earth They are indeed counted as dead Nay, rather, before God The dead are mentioned preferably To those unemployed and negligent souls 82, oh my servant The best of men are those Who gain by trade And spend for themselves and their kinsmen In the love of God, the Lord of the creatures The bride of wonderful significances Who was hidden and concealed Behind the veils of explanation Have appeared and manifested Through divine providence and lordly favours Like the brilliant radiance Of the beauty of the beloved I testify, oh friends That the favours have become entire The proof is accomplished The argument manifested And the reason affirmed Now, what will your aims show forth From the grades of devotion? In this wise, favours are perfected unto ye And unto whatsoever is in the heavens and earths Praise be unto God The Lord of all creatures Recording by Nicholas James Bridgewater Recorded in London, England

President Trump is heading back overseas for the G20 summit in Germany. His trip will include his first face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin to take place on Friday.

Who knows what the truth might be? He's actually set it up, so no matter how we report this, it's fake news. This just sounds completely ludicrous.

They would have done it sooner, but they keep having to rebuild the space program every couple of years after being attacked by a giant lizard.

So now, network execs are scrambling to find somebody else named Carmichael so they can keep the same stationary. New research shows humans didn't develop arthritis until they started moving from Africa to other areas. Experts believe it is developed as a result of traveling around the world lugging heavy suitcases. Police in Michigan are on the lookout for a bald man who is stealing Rogaine. I don't think we have to worry about the resale value of Rogaine on the black market in this case. 12 Greyhounds tested positive for cocaine at a Florida dog track. Sports are stressful.  Adele canceled her last two shows at Wembley Stadium because of vocal problems. She was hinting this may have been her last tour ever.
