I love my NSA.... it rocks!!

The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahai's of Italy has been elected this week-end.

I am grateful and happy for this news!! Knowing the meaning of this event everyone would be!

Baha'is delegates from every corner of the nation (except Sicily, where few days before was elected the National Spiritual Assembly of Sicily) met and in depeening sessions, meditation on the characteristics that the memebers serving in this istitution must own, in a spiritual and prayerful attitude they choose nine members among the members of the community to serve in this field.
Both women and men, age 21 and over are eligible for election to the Baha'i national institution. They are elected for their qualities and capacities to serve the community, for their being involved and active in the growth of the community.... there is no political campaign for being elected, no blood bonds that matters!!
What's amazing in this process is the fact that during this week-end the delegates brought with them the ideas, requests, needs and love of the baha'is of their local communities and consulted, answer and share about during the week-end!

This process of having someone that works for the well-fare of all, someone that is there not for his/her own good, but to serve all... from children to old, men and women, not just bahai's but every single individual living on this planet, is not mere idealism or society's need, is a gift to humanity, is a Divine Plan!! A New World Order brought from Baha'u'llah!
From the local to the national and international level this administration of the baha'i community is an example for the whole world on how in a totally respectful, spiritual and harmonic way the voice of every single individual could be, not just heard, but actually taken in consideration and consult about for the improvement of the society!
So whenever I attend to the 19th Day Feast in my community and wish to propose something during the administration part of the Feast, I CAN!! And this becomes part of the consultation, which is the extraordinary tool we can use for every single thing, in our family, with friends at school, colleagues at work, etc... Amazing uh??

Ok, I didn't want to go in details... but my head just follows the implication that this event brings with it... a National Spiritual Assembly is like a mama: takes care, guides, encourages and love the community-child... moreover, its an example and joy for its community.
This 9 memebrs will work all through the year, sacrificing themeself with happiness.... attending at the directives that comes from the Baha'i World Center will humbly work for the betterment of our society... seems a parallel world.... indeed, is ours!
