The writing transforms the person, the writer, from silent witness and participant into engaged survivor. Writing for these academically inclined people isgrasped as a social practice which creates meaning as well as communicating it. The self-conscious scholar, historian, anthropologist and autobiographer use life-writing to voice complaints, make observations, write analysis and theorize about what makes them them and what makes their society the way it is.

I see this project as both a priviledge to write and an impossibility due to the many uncertainties, indecisions, gestures toward publicity before an impersonal public and finally, gestures before the many windows of death. This wide-angled lens takes in a very wide ambit, virtually all of Time and Space. I can only add, not really in defence but just as a matter of fact, that the intelligible field of study in this work is as much autobiography as a genre and as it is my life. Still, some readers may find my remarks from time to time far too tangential and the lens far too wide-angled, thus detracting from any unity and coherence to the overall text. I have tried to make up for this deficiency in a number of ways-by using, for example, a wide-anged lens to see each passage or section that I am writing at any moment in its relation to the plan of the whole book and by going off on tangents, tangents discussed in many of the books I draw on in this work. This work only covers an infinitessimal part of that entire multidimensional world and it only covers a small part of my life's ceaseless process of self-renewal in which I was engaged, a process that occurs in the act of writing as I scrutinize and recapture my inner and outer life.Īs I pointed out when introducing Part 1 of this work at the Bahai Academics Resource Library(BARL), only some references are included in the body of this work at BLO and there are, as yet, no footnotes. I have been enmeshed all my life, as we all are, in history and society's complexity, its irreducible multiplicity, the endlessness of its overt and subtle processes. This work also provides a retrospective taking in the years that are the meeting of my parents, the Bahai teaching Plan beginning in 1937 and more generally the years back to the very start of Bahai history with the birth of Shaykh Ahmad in 1753/1743. I should reiterate at the outset that readers will only be interested in this document if they are interested in the interplay, the interconnectedness, the interlock, between one Bahai life, the wider Bahai community and the general society in which this Bahai has lived in the last four epochs of Bahai history, that is the years 1943 to 2009. Readers can also find my writing in book form at and spread over literally thousands of internet sites of special interest, topics, subjects and themes, all related in one way or another to this epic work 'Pioneering Over Four Epochs. Those wanting to read more can go to eBookMall and find a third edition of this same work with the same title Pioneering Over Four Epochs. This document tries to provide, with Part 1, a brief overview of my 2500 page(font 14, 400 words/page) autobiography or memoir. In time readers will also find here a 8th edition. One way or another, this book will keep you up until The Stroke of Midnight.What follows is Part 2 of an earlier document with the same title Pioneering Over Four Epochs(7th edition) found here at Bahai Library Online(BLO). Some men have no control over the beast within, while others endure the wickedness of a curse. He can become a beast as wicked and evil as anything hell can expel. Borne from the desire for youth and beauty, a man can be driven to extreme lengths. Men caught coupling with other men are exiled to a verdant planet in whose breathtaking jungles lurks the last of an ancient race.Īnd finally there are the creatures within ourselves. Many centuries into the future, man-love is illegal. They walk amongst us during daylight hours - creatures like an ancient demon from the sea, ghosts of pirates long since dead, and a beast of blackbirds whose hunger is not for love or lust, but revenge.Įven other worlds are not safe from creatures of the night.

And the Devil himself is free to roam and take what he wants from those who don't know any better. Vampires hunt, not just for blood but for men worthy enough to join their ranks. When the moon is high and the land is sleeping, gods descend and transform into men of such beauty, they are irresistible to mere mortals. Yet human desire isn't the only thing the darkness brings with it.
