A discussion of selections from the Baha’i writings about life on this planet and advances that have taken place in our knowledge of the universe and the emerging consciousness of world citizenship.
I will use examples from my professional experience in the field of Space and Satellites to highlight the progress of humanity in the realisation that as a planetary community we have no choice but to address global challenges ahead, if we are to pursue the glorious prospects of an ever-advancing civilization. Impediments to progress are the forces of nationalism, self-interest and all forms of prejudice which question the oneness of mankind and the respect for our common homeland, the planet earth. The writings of the Baha'i Faith inform and inspire us in our pursuit.
My background is in engineering, economics and finance having acted as CFO of a satellite communications company and now with continuing interest in space and satellite initiatives. I serve on the Board of Trustees of the International Space University and act as a Trustee of the John Templeton Foundation. To view the video visit the YouTube channel https://youtu.be/MQvDQKpBMCo
