"Personally, I don't understand the focus on the term "Ruhi method." However, the fact that one of the Ruhi books may contain a statement denying it status as a method is obviously not evidentiary."
Dear Mark, Notwithstanding my crack about Baha'i-speak, it sounds from the passage which Max put up on Book 7, that what they are trying to say is that these techniques ought not to be followed dogmatically and treated as essential in Ruhi Study Circles. However, emphazing "systematic procedure by which a task is accomplished" moves us precisely in that direction, and I've yet to see a tutor that got away from utilizing the method given in Book One. But granted my experience with Ruhi is pretty limited. Perhaps others can tell us if later books and tutors manage to get away from what we are calling the 'Ruhi method'? Max? warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
