And for some, that includes the elucidations of the House
of Justice, the Central Figures of the Faith and Shoghi Effendi.
Deconstructionism as a technique has value; but to adopt the
philosophy that *no* interpretation should be privileged over any
other is problematical for a member of the Baha'i Faith.
i would need a concrete definition of "some". as near as i can determine based
on my own taxonomies (which have valiue only insofar as value is perceived),
that would include anyone who has ever read 1 Verse, and thence not spent
serious time in any moment since 1928 engaged in "It is high time for the
Bahá'ís to try and reach the thinking and educated youth of the country upon
whom so much of the future depends, especially the stupendous task of applying
the spirit and letter of the Bahá'í teachings to the requirements of the time
-- a work for which generations of preparation might be necessary." this would
possibly be a number of persons too large to effectively contemplate, cuasing
my own furrow to lose its potential to yeild a crop.
imho evvverything is problematical for a member of the Baha'i Faith--until
we deconstruct our expectations of what the Promised Day would look like, and,
like the Bab's uncle, ask why.
