A meditative exercise for Book 2 Study Circles.

Have the Study Circle participants get in a comfortable position and a meditative calm, preferably with their eyes closed and no distractions, and ask them to try to visualize any or all of the following:

--Telling a friend, family member, co-worker about the Cause and they are very interested and even ask you how one can join this Faith.

--Speaking to an audience about the Cause and they are very interested, asking good questions, and even asking how they can join.

--Telling people very different than yourself about the Cause and they respond with love and interest.

--At your community's Feast or other event, seeing a packed room with a diverse crowd comprised of new believers of all ages and races.

--Showing so much love to someone you've recently met that they feeled compelled to join this Cause, without even knowing much about it.

--Telling someone that you have a solution to the world's violence and would they like to hear about it, then going through a canned presentation with a picture book, and the person agrees with everything, so you invite him/her to join and they readily accept the card and sign it.

--Picture what a growing, dynamic Baha'i community looks like to you, perhaps in terms of the three core activities (children's classes, devotions, study circles).
