Charles Mason Remey Architect of The International Bahá'í Archives Building on Mt. Carmel

 

According to Shoghi Effendi, on page 74 of Messages to the Bahá'í World 1950-1957, Charles Mason Remey was the architect of The International Bahá'í Archives building on Mt. Carmel. Not only has the criminal enterprise masquerading as the Bahá'í Faith denied Charles Mason Remey his rightful place as the Second Guardian, but they have stripped him of his accomplishment as the one who designed this significant building on Mount Carmel. Charles Mason Remey studied Architecture at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris. He was one of the only Westerners to visit the first Bahá'í Temple in Ishqabad, designed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá.

In 1914 'Abdu'l-Bahá instructed Charles Mason Remey to write a book on the subject of Architecture, which he did. In 1921, 'Abdu'l-Bahá named Charles Mason Remey Architect of the future Mashriqu'l-Adhkár on Mount Carmel. Shoghi Effendi used the designs of Charles Mason Remey for the graves of the Greatest Holy Leaf, her mother, and brother on Mount Carmel. Shoghi Effendi announced that Charles Mason Remey was the Architect for the Bahá'í Temples in Iran (Messages to the Bahá'í World 1950-1957, p. 80), as well as the Architect for the Bahá'í Temples in Kampala, Uganda and Sydney, Australia (Messages to the Bahá'í World 1950-1957, p. 112). There are numerous, smaller, designs of Charles Mason Remey throughout the Bahá'í world; the tomb of Thornton Chase being among them. He labored gratis and often paid for the grave markers of Bahá'ís himself.

The Covenant Trilogy by Charles Gaines, 1960

  The GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FIRST INTRODUCTION             In the face of such trials and tests as these times are likely to lay upon the entire Baha'i World, it is imperative that we take a second look at Baha'i and see what it is that this beloved Faith of ours teaches, stands for and requires, if it is to be triumphant over the sinister forces of nature and of an unregenerate humanity.  It is clearly evident how “humanity is languishing upon a bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned.” and it behooves all men to examine anew the remedy that has been prescribed by the Divine Physician, which alone can “deliver mankind from this desolating affliction” and “fuse its discordant, elements” into one organic, indivisible whole; to ponder dispassionately and penetrate, to depths unparalleled, the “wholesome medicine”, the “Elixir” that can “cleanse and revive” a humanity sick unto death; to st...

E.S. Yazdani, Fifth Bahá'í Guardian: A Response to “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988: A Survey of Contemporary Developments.” by Smith-Momen

  O THOU GLORY OF THE MOST GLORIOUS Office of Fifth Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith   When the fundamental basis of the Bahá’í Faith is interfered with , the very foundation of the Bahá’í Administration changes. Furthermore, the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh deviates from its divinely established course; the authentic Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh, as defined in The Kitáb-i-Ahd , The Kitáb-i-Aqdas , and The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá , is replaced by a man-made covenant, altering the standards of the Bahá’í Faith; progress and development in the present administration in Haifa as well as in the worldwide community of believers lose their meaning and is no longer relevant. This is true regardless of any period surveyed or comparison made to another time.   This is the case in an article written by Peter Smith and Moojan Momen. The article appeared on Bahá’ì Library Online 1 , as well as on Academia 1 , under the title, “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988...

The Violation of the Bahá'í Covenant by Leland Jensen: Dismantling His Absurd Claims

                            Leland Jensen claimed to fulfill prophecy as the ‘establisher’ of the Bahá’í Faith.   In reality, he was a cult leader who followed the pattern of all cult leaders.   Jensen was a sexual predator who served time in prison for assaulting a juvenile patient in his chiropractic office.   Instead of accepting his conviction and punishment, he turned himself into the charismatic leader of his cult.   He claimed to have a spiritual experience in prison while reading Zechariah 3 in the Old Testament.   Jensen decided that ‘the stone with seven eyes’ mentioned in Zechariah 3 was the very prison in which he was confined, as a sex offender, because it had seven watchtowers.   Instead of seeking treatment to overcome his criminal sexual impulses, he elevated himself to increasingly exalted stations l...
