letter jensen to pepe may 11 1976

Dear Guardian:

The open house of the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant, held with the 'stone with seven eyes' before them, was a tremendous affair. Please find enclosed a copy of the program. The speeches were well-prepared and excellent and followed a continuum leading up to the advent of the Third Guardian and the Promised One of God for our age. There were about 200 present and that number could have been double had the Guardian also been present. Also, the communication media was not invited because of the nonarrival of the Guardian, and as a consequence, we didn't get into the communication media. We did have acknowledgements, however, from a number of very important individuals from the State of Montana extending their best wishes and regrets at being unable to attend, with the Governor and Mike Mansfield (Majority leader of the U.S. Senate) heading the list. We also had a number of letters from the Elders from around the United States that were very sincere and very positive in their attitudes. Later on in this letter, I will quote excerpts from some of these letters. There was no cablegram or letter from the Guardian, however, which was something like a slap in the face from the one that the affair was for.

Since the affair, several letters have been received from you by the friends from around here and on these I must comment. In one of the letters, you express that we must turn to and be obedient to the Guardian and on this we very heartily agree. But here, this must start with the Guardian himself. Unless the Guardian is lowly and submissive to himself as Guardian, the Faith cannot progress. It was something like when I came to the realization that I was the Promised Joshua both by a visitation and by my fulfilling prophecies. How could anybody else in the world be firm in that belief unless I accepted that role that God had ordained for me. I could not shove this role off onto someone else. It was not arbitrary for me either to accept or reject, for I alone fulfilled that Divine formula. I alone had been chosen by God to establish His Kingdom, as I have so aptly pointed out to you so many times. Had I not assumed that role, God would have grabbed me by the forelock and laid violent hold upon me, for we are all within His grasp.

Both you and Donald are in violation of the Covenant for your failure to accept him who is the Guardian of the Cause of God, and you give the same reason for your refusal to be submissive to the Guardian as the Covenant-breaking Hands gave for their rejection of the Second Guardian. When you write: "...it is not important who the Guardian is but rather the Guardianship...", it has the same ring that the violating Hands had in stating that they believe in the Guardianship, but because Shoghi Effendi had no son or left no will, they refused to accept the Second Guardian, claiming that they were firm in the Guardianship with Shoghi Effendi as their Guardian although he was dead and buried. With their Guardian being dead and buried, they proceeded to violate his directives and by now they have a long list, with the main one being their violation of the International Baha'i Council which caused the Second Guardian to break with them.

When you refuse to accept your role as the Guardian, you not only are unsubmissive to the Guardian but you break the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, and I, the Promised One of God, hereby now command both you and Donald to return to the Covenant and to stop once and for all any further violation.

The Bab, Baha'u'llah, 'Abdul-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi all have made it quite clear that when someone is appointed to serve God by either being elected, appointed, or chosen by fulfilling prophecies that he must serve and the matter is not arbitrary, whether to accept or to reject. Mason had made it quite clear to you from the very beginning of your relationship that you were to succeed him in the Guardianship, and then several weeks just before he passed when he appointed you to succeed him by placing the medallion around your neck and leaving you all of his earthly belongings--which included all of the medallions--he duly appointed you to succeed him and this appointment was not arbitrary for either your acceptance or rejection and you could not possibly shove it off on Donald or anybody else. You state such nonsense, "If Donald dies, I may be his successor? If I die tomorrow or the next day then Donald always has been the 3rd Guardian". This problem cannot be solved in this manner. In fact, there is no problem except your violation. You have been the Guardian ever since the death of Mason, and nobody else, and if you should die without appointing a successor during your lifetime there would be no Guardian of the Baha'i World Faith. Also, you could never succeed Donald in being Guardian for he has never been the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith.

When you break the Covenant by rejecting the third Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, you reject God, and when you do this you not only reject your heavenly Father, but your father that appointed you, that you claim that you love. You state: "when he died, I had no thought in mind but to complete his tomb and then crawl into it alongside his remains (as he wished)." If you should die and crawl into that hole, not only would he reject you in the next life but would cast you out of that tomb. He only intended for you to be buried alongside of him by your being an obedient son. When you reject his wishes, you are a disobedient child and irresponsible.

You not only are disobedient and reject the Guardianship of the Baha'i Faith, but you reject and are in violation of the Twin Institutions of the Cause of God. Not once have I seen in any of your letters where you have been calling upon the friends to be obedient to the Twin Institutions, nor have I seen anyplace

-3-

where you have accepted the Promised One ordained by God who is the other embryonic pillar of the world order of Baha'u'llah, which I have already so aptly explained to you in my letter of the month of November. In one of your letters you wrote: "the real problem in the Baha'i Faith--for past as well as the present is that the friends have never learned total and unconditional submission... Mason said something very amusing and which I did not understand or appreciate at the time. He said that 'the friends must accept the Guardian in all he does... even if he should become "ga-ga" in other words "out of his mind"'. This is pure nonsense and should be violently rejected by all the friends. God never intended the Guardian to be a despot, but a president that is synergistic to the other pillar. When Mason made this statement, he made it from the standpoint of the half light, and this thinking has been in error from the very inception of the Guardianship. There are the Twin Institutions and they each function within their sphere of jurisdiction; therefore, we are only to accept each institution functioning within its sphere. Shoghi Effendi stated:

"It should be stated, at the very outset, in clear and unambiguous language, that these twin institutions of the Administrative Order of Baha'u'llah should be regarded as divine in origin, essential in their functions and complementary in their aim and purpose. Their common, their fundamental object is to insure the continuity of that divinely-appointed authority which flows from the Source of our Faith, to safeguard the unity of its followers and to maintain the integrity and flexibility of its teachings. Acting in conjunction with each other these two inseparable institutions administer its affairs, coordinate its activities, promote its interests, execute its laws and defend its subsidiary institutions. Severally, each operates within a clearly defined sphere of jurisdiction; each is equipped with its own attendant institutions--instruments designed for the effective discharge of its particular responsibilities and duties. Each exercises, within the limitations imposed upon it, its powers, its authority, its rights and prerogatives. These are neither contradictory, nor detract in the slightest degree from the position which each of these institutions occupies. Far from being incompatible or mutually destructive, they supplement each other's authority and functions, and are permanently and fundamentally united in their aims." (Dispensation of Baha'u'llah, page 56.)

Although Shoghi Effendi wrote the above quote, he himself was in violation of it when he had evolved an administrative order; for he had already stated that: "He is debarred from laying down independently the constitution that must govern the organized activities of his fellow-members, and from exercising his influence in a manner that would encroach upon the liberty of those whose sacred right is to elect the body of his collaborators." He didn't see the other institution in its embryonic form; therefore, he took upon himself both roles and commanded the friends to be obedient to him when he made his administration and later when he realized that both institutions must administer the affairs, he created the International Baha'i Council that was to evolve into that other institution. He was only to bring the Baha'i World Faith, according to 'Abdu'l-Baha's Divine Plan, to the entire world by 1963 and then look for the Promised One of God that was to appear at that date who is the

-4-

establisher of the Kingdom of God on this earth and the other embryonic institution and then to find out from him what he should do next. Because of his failure to do this, he lost everything. All the Baha'is in the world became Covenant-breakers, except for a mere handful and they had to start again from scratch. Mason first tried to re-establish Shoghi Effendi's administration, but then finding that it was in violation of the Covenant, after it had been taken over by Satan, he expelled it and all that followed it from the Baha'i Faith. But he, failing to recognize the other institution, assumed that he was the Promised One, thus uniting the Guardianship and the other Pillar into one person again and then commanding the faithful to be completely submissive unto him even if he became "ga-ga". How ridiculous. Suppose the Guardian should become ga-ga and should tell me to cut off my wife's head or to commit rape or murder or some other heinous crime, or worse yet to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit or to go against the Covenant as you are suggesting to the friends. Certainly, as a bounty to him, we wouldn't do any of these things. First of all, not only because these are crimes and one of them being unforgiveable throughout all eternity, but purely and simply because the Guardian would be operating outside of his sphere of jurisdiction.

Shoghi Effendi, being the head of the body (the Universal House of Justice), tried to bring forth and establish the body. At the time of the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha and at the reading of His Will and Testament, it stated that we must be obedient equally to both the Guardian and the Universal House of Justice and it named Shoghi Effendi to be the first Guardian, but there was no Universal House of Justice. Shoghi Effendi saw a multitude of nations united in the League of Nations. This unification was not a spiritual one, but political, knowing nothing at all of the Revelation of God through His Manifestation, Baha'u'llah. Therefore, this unification comprised an aspect of the Beast for a Beast does not have the Divine spirit. The instructions given to Shoghi Effendi by 'Abdu'l-Baha in His Divine Plan was for him to bring the Baha'i message to the nations of the world by 1963 that were to elect, eventually, the Universal House of Justice. With this completing the Divine Plan at that time, Shoghi Effendi should then have looked for the advent of the Promised One that was to appear at that date and then to synchronize his activities with that Promised One so that the nations could become spiritualized (believers) through the explanations and commentaries of that Promised One, so that at the appointed time they would elect National Houses of Justice which would elect the Universal one.

Shoghi Effendi, however, at the time of his appointment, by not seeing the body in existence, of which he was the head, took on the function of the body to evolve a complicated administrative order which he termed the Baha'i Administration. Thus, he assumed the role of both head and body. Later on, when it became quite apparent to him that in a Baha'i Administration there must be both a head and body working synergistically, he tried to bring the body into existence by setting up the International Baha'i Council which he called the embryonic Universal House of Justice, which was to become activated in 1963 by becoming a World Court on Mt. Carmel. This was to

-5-

take the place of the one promised to make his appearance on that date. Being a doctor, I find that the body does not come forth from the head, nor the head from the body, but both come forth from the primal cell which contains both factors. Therefore, with the passing of 'Abdul-Baha and the reading of His Will and Testament, both the head and the embryonic body had to exist at that time for a head cannot exist without the body. The World Order of Baha'u'llah is embryonic until the establishment of the Universal House of Justice, therefore, both the head and the body is embryonic. The primal cell from which this head and body comes forth are the provisions of 'Abdu'l-Baha's Will and Testament.

"The creative energies released by the Law of Bahau'llah, permeating and evolving within the mind of 'Abdul-Baha, have, by their very impact and close interaction, given birth to an Instrument which may be viewed as the Charter of the New World Order which is at once the glory and the promise of this most great Dispensation. The Will may thus be acclaimed as the inevitable offspring resulting from that mystic intercourse between Him Who communicated the generating influence of His divine Purpose and the One Who was its vehicle and chosen recipient. Being the Child of the Covenant--the Heir of both the Originator and the Interpreter of the Law of God--the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha can no more be divorced from Him Who supplied the original and motivating impulse than from the One Who ultimately conceived it. Baha'u'llah's inscrutable purpose, we must ever bear in mind, has been so thoroughly infused into the conduct of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and their motives have been so closely wedded together, that the mere attempt to dissociate the teachings of the former from any system which the ideal Exemplar of those same teachings has established would amount to a repudiation of one of the most sacred and basic truths of the Faith." (Dispensation, page 52)

Had Shoghi Effendi stuck entirely to his sphere of jurisdiction and carried out the Divine Plan laid out by 'Abdul-Baha without creating an administration or an embryonic body of the Universal House and would have looked for the Promised One that was to appear in 1963, he would have undoubtedly lived and he would have been that great Guardian (the Beloved Guardian) that 'Abdu'l-Baha appointed him to be. Also if Mason would not have assumed the dual role, things would have gone well with him.

By you and Donald neither accepting the Third Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, and by refusing to accept the Promised One sent by God that existed at the time that the Will and Testament was first read, who then stepped forth and was opposed by Satan at the date specified by Holy Writ, who wears the dirty garment, and had the stone with seven eyes placed before him, where He made His proclamation on the date prophesied in the floor of the Holy of Holies of the Great Pyramid, and is now bringing forth and establishing 'the BRANCH', nothing will go right with either of you. In fact, if you refuse to obey my command you'll get sicker than you are. In fact, you'll get like Mason--unable to write at all. The Twin Institutions are synergistic, and

-6-

we cannot have the kingdom until you two come into compliance and stop all of your nonsense. All I can do is reprimand you severely, but I am forbidden to take any action against you and I shall not. All I can do then is to turn you back to God and to the father whom you say that you love to chastise you--and terrible is God indeed in His chastisement:

"According to the teaching of the Prophets, disease and all other forms of calamity are due to disobedience to the Divine command. Even disasters due to floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes are attributed by 'Abdu'l-Baha indirectly to this cause." (Baha'u'llah and the New Era, page 95)

I told you of my visitation in which I was told I was the Promised One. I kept it a secret except for telling my wife until Harry Stroup recognized me on the date given by the Great Pyramid for my Proclamation. One of the main reasons for keeping it a secret has never been told. I am now going to reveal for the first time to you the reason. When this angel, or whoever it was that visited me, told me that I was the Promised Joshua of the 3rd chapter of Zechariah and that I was to bring forth and establish the BRANCH, it also told me something that I could not accept and do not accept today, and that is that I was the guardian of the Baha'i Faith. Therefore, I told the angel to go away and leave me alone. At the time I thought perhaps it may be an evil spirit that was trying to lead me astray, for certainly I had never been appointed by any Guardian in any way to be the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith nor did I or have ever aspired to such an appointment. Later, upon reflection, I came to understand by both prophecy and Holy Writ that the Promised One could not be the Guardian, nor the Guardian the Promised One, and I wrote this to you about a month before Mason passed, that the Lamb does not sit upon the throne but is before the throne, as I am before the Guardian. But now I understand what the angel was trying to convey to me, and it is that I and I alone have been guarding the Baha'i Faith from violation from the time of the angel's visitation. Until now that I have raised a large number of true Baha'is, many that have been writing to you, that uphold and defend the Guardianship of the Baha'i Faith. I do this by not assuming the role of the Guardian or by claiming the Guardianship but by directing everyone to turn to he who is the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith and to the embryonic Universal House of Justice.

In one of your letters, you make it sound like we don't accept Donald as Guardian because we don't want to go along with his wishes. You state: "few people know Donald and it is unkind and unjust to judge him as many are doing." And you suggest that we turn unto him. You make it sound like we reject Donald as Guardian because we don't want to accept his decisions, but our rejection of Donald has nothing to do with the bad manner that he displayed in assuming the role of Guardianship. We certainly didn't choose you because we liked you better or wanted you to be the Guardian, but on the basis that Donald fulfilling the role was yours and Donald's idea, not Mason's. You stated in this letter, "Donald Harvey came to see me shortly after Mason's death and he would have done absolutely nothing contrary to my wishes. He would surely not have stepped forth without first having come to visit me and I was wholehearted in my convictions that he must assume the

-7-

the role of 3rd Guardian as appointed by Mason..." We would have accepted that appointment made by Mason had Mason not appointed you to be Guardian several weeks before he passed, or that if you could have shown that Mason had appointed Donald again somewhere in that interim of several weeks from the time that Mason appointed you to when he passed on. If this had been the case I would have been addressing myself to him instead of you. As there has been no such assurance by anybody, we have no other alternative but to accept him who is the Guardian of the Cause of God.

My role is to bring forth and establish in this world 'the BRANCH', which are the provisions of His Will and Testament. I am the embryonic Universal House of Justice and must be obeyed as well as the embryonic Guardianship must be obeyed, and we must work in synergism until the Universal House of Justice comes into being and the World Order of Baha'u'llah established in this world, then the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice will no longer be embryonic, but will also function synergistically as the Kingdom of God upon this earth.

I have given irrefutable proof, and have sent this on to you, that I am the Promised One of God and I thus have the authority to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth. In order to do this, I must bring the Guardianship, for the first time, to the pristine purity as outlined in the Will and Testament and for it to act in its well-defined sphere of jurisdiction only. In order to do this, it has been necessary to write you this letter to jar you loose of your lethargy and irresponsibility. There can be only one of three reasons that you, or anyone else, have not accepted me as the Promised One:

1. You have not pursued diligently the proofs, set forth by your attitude that you have already expressed by your stating that you didn't go by proofs. You stated that there are no proofs such as a scientific formula that could be analyzed and tested; or,

2. You pursued the proofs but have an immature mind. An immature mind is one that would not recognize that the proofs that I had put forth were as a scientific formula such as H2O being the formula of which only water fulfills, or NaCl which only is fulfilled by common table salt, and NaHCO3 fulfilled by baking soda. I pointed out in my proofs that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the only one that fulfilled the Divine formula for the advent of the Jewish messiah as given in Holy Writ and that the Bab and Baha'u'llah were the only ones that fulfilled the Divine formula for the advent of the twin Manifestations for this age, and that 'Abdul-Baha was the only one that fulfilled the formula of Holy Writ for the advent of the BRANCH and that I was the only one that fulfilled the Divine formula for the Promised One of this day. In addition to this, in the last edition of 'The Beast' that was sent you, we went a step further than this and made this proof so exact by showing how the Great Pyramid exactly confirms these above Divine formulas by the most scientific of all mathematics, and that is by measurement of distances, which were made in rock passageways and chambers that don't expand or contract as they were kept at exactly the same temperature through milleniums. These measurements are within .001 of an inch of error, having been made by very emminent scientists and have been rechecked and verified many times. These measurements were made and rechecked by such means as measuring

-8-

rods that were kept at constant temperatures from the time that they were made at the department of Weight and Measures of a nation and were used to measure the distances in the Great Pyramid. They were made by surveying instruments, and again by sound and light waves measurements, and its now being attempted by laser beam. As some of these measurements were of a distance of about a block long and as .001 of an inch is no larger than a human hair, science considers these as exact measurements. One one-thousandeth of an inch is at the most a day's period. But now, some of these measurements are down to .0001 of an inch which is only a matter of several hours. As one of the great principals of Baha'u'llah is that science and religion must agree, no religious interpretation, especially that of prophecy, should be accepted by anyone unless it completely conforms with science. The proofs and explanations put forth by this Promised One firmly establishes the Kingdom of God upon this earth by this scientific proof. No one needs to believe in error. The credibility of the Pyramid has not only been established by how it conforms exactly with the prophecies of Holy Writ and by prophecies in Holy Scriptures referring to it, but some of the most emminent scientists of the world have established its credibility by scientific methods being a Bible in stone and a chronological time scale, and being Divine in origin. There is so much that we have established on this, that hasn't as yet been published, but is available in rough draft and may be perused by anyone who is sincere in their investigation.

3. The third reason that my claim would be rejected could be only by the investigator not having a pure heart. That is, the evidences and conclusions although firmly established and verified would be rejected solely on the grounds that it wouldn't conform to the way that the investigator wanted it to be no matter how scientific. For instance, the Christians may still want Jesus to come out of the sky, the sans-Guardian Baha'is want the Guardian appointed by a Will, or a descendant, or by insisting that he make his appointment in writing, or you might want to palm the Guardianship off onto someone else.

The reason that this must be settled now and once and for all is that in inviting the Elders to attend the open house, we sent them the dialogue that has been going on between you and I and a copy of the last edition of 'The Beast', and they may be writing to you and we don't want them to run up against that barrage of nonsense that has been coming from your pen. These people are at a delicate point of their development and recognition. They must be helped by the Twin Institutions acting in synergism. For instance, in quoting from some of their letters that were written before they had a chance to thoroughly investigate these documents, they portrayed the ingredients that are necessary for belief. For instance, Mary Magdalene Wilkins writes: "I know and you will agree with me that it is not part of wisdom for anyone to be stampeded into anything vital to this most precious Cause of God without fully understanding AND ACCEPTING the claims that have been made... it saddens me to learn that you have been imprisoned so wrongfully! but dear Dr. Jensen--if your claim be valid, how else could you have fulfilled the prophecies of "the dirty garment"?" She went on to say that these documents

-9-

would receive fine-tooth comb investigation. Della Emery writes: the contents and subject require more time to study. We have only glanced over the material with not enough time to assist us to make any comments to our thought on the matter. As you have noticed I have included Mr. Emary. We work as a team including each other in all our activities. We accepted Mr. Remey as Second Guardian without any reservations. However, through the time of Joel and Rex appearances we have taken the advice of 'Abdu'l-Baha who recommended we go without religion rather than take part in an administration that is put on questionable grounds. With our background of the Will and Testament neither qualified to fit the Guardianship. As for Donald Harvey we have never received any literature in regards to him. I know we would react to him as to Joel and Rex. All during this time we have never given up being a Baha'i. Now you have opened a new avenue and approach which will require us to spend some time to investigate and pray we will find our longing to complete the "Pillars of our Faith."

My brother, Alfred (not the one you met), that I hadn't seen or talked to in 15 years who is also an Elder, thoroughly studied the documents and completely accepts. He attended the open house, driving all the way down from Chicago and he was overwhelmed by this affair. He said that this is the only real Baha'i activity going on in the world. He said that he was forced to stop teaching the Bahai Faith when Satan took over and sat in the driver's seat, and again when the Guardian became incapacitated and was unable to carry on the Baha'i affairs. He says if he had convinced anyone to become a Baha'i, what would he have done with them, who would he turn them over to? He says now the youngers will have to teach the Elders, and he has gone back to Chicago and to unify the forces there. He never deserted the Guardianship and neither have I, in spite of your writing that I said that I did. I have always been obedient to the Guardian, even when I knew he was wrong, although the Guardian deserted the believers leaving them to shift for themselves. When the Guardian had stated that he was that Promised Personage that was to appear in our day as prophesied by 'Abdu'l-Baha, which refers only to me, I did not use that quote to refer to me because I couldn't go against the Guardian, but when I was writing a very important document-- which will become the third edition of 'The Beast'--I needed to use this prophecy but I knew I couldn't go against the Guardian, so I got on my knees and I prayed 'O God, thou knowest and I know that Mason is not that promised one, and thou knowest and I know that I need to use this for this document, so I pray you, O Lord, to have Mason retract that statement so that I will not be going against him in using it.' Within a month after I made this prayer, Mason passed on to the next life, making it evident to all that he did not fulfill the provisions of that Personage so that I was free to use this in my writings. However, at no time did I ever think that Mason was ga-ga. He was just getting too old to function in his entirety and I was too embryonic for him to do anything about it.

Now that we have a new Guardian, it is imperative that this Guardian becomes a functioning Guardian. Therefore, I have issued my command unto you for you not only to become submissive unto the Guardianship of the Faith but unto that other institution that is also here in embryonic form. The demands of The Baha'i Faith Under The Provisions Of The Covenant brings me not only

-10-

to command you to become obedient to the Provisions of the Covenant, but to work in complete harmony and cooperation with him who is the Promised One of God for this day. Therefore, I demand that you work in synchronization with my efforts to establish the provisions of 'the BRANCH' in the world. I had written to Mason requesting that he send me the names and addresses of those that had come under his Guardianship and I have also made this request to you. In both instances, my request was completely ignored. Therefore, for the propagation and good of the Cause, I hereby demand that you send to me a copy of this list. From this list will come forth 24 Elders that will be submissive unto him who is seated upon the Throne and who will be highly instrumental in establishing God's Kingdom upon this earth (Rev. 4:4 and 10). We are now at the time when these Elders are to come forth.

Some people may think that the body is not to command the head to do anything, but this is not so at all. In the animal, the body commands the head in almost all of its activities. For instance, when the body is hungry it sends a message to the head and the head takes on nourishment for the body; or the body may become tired, another demand is sent to the head for rest, so the head causes the body to lie down to rest. If the head fails to heed the demand of the body, the head becomes sleepy and goes to sleep, and the body gets the rest that it needs. After the body is rested, another command goes to the head and the head wakes up and the body again becomes active. The same thing is true of the type of government that we have in the Baha'i Faith. For instance, a similar government to the Baha'i Faith is the United States of America which has a central government over 50 states--which is also composed of Presidency and Congress. Congress directs the affairs of this country. It makes the laws and ordinances and then it sends them to the head for his signature and enforcement. Should the head refuse to sign the bill or veto it, the measure then is sent back to the Congress and they override the head's veto if they want. When Congress passes a bill, the executive enforces it. If the head fails to carry out its functions, it then becomes impeached by Congress. A case of this nature has just taken place in the American Government, in the case of President Nixon. In the Baha'i Faith, the president cannot be impeached, but the body can override the veto of the Guardian.

In taking your position at the head of the faith, it is very important for you to become very knowledgeable in the Baha'i Revelation and then make your interpretations from the standpoint of a thorough knowledge after much reflection and prayer. Your last letters portrayed that you knew very little of religion, much less being knowledgeable in the Baha'i Faith. You may be knowledgeable in certain practices and observances as put forth by the Catholic faith, you may even know the Catechism by heart, but no real knowledge of real religion. Should you make interpretations of the Baha'i Faith speaking off the cuff from your background or feelings, very much damage could be done to individuals and the Cause in general. Therefore, the members of this body--The Baha'i Faith Under The Provisions Of The Covenant--have been strongly urging you not only to recognize yourself as the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith but to come to the International Baha'i Center here and learn the faith firsthand. Let us hope that you do this without further delay.

The whole world is in violation of their Covenant. The Jews had failed to recognize their Messiah and have now failed to recognize the return of their Temple and the return of their Messiah--the High Priest--standing in the Holy of Holies; the Hindus have failed to recognize the return of Krishna, the tenth Avatar; the Zoroastrians the Shah Brahram and the Saoshyant; the Buddhists, the fifth Buddha, the Christians the return of Jesus Christ; the Muslims, the Mahdi and the return of Jesus Christ; and the Baha'is, all except the Baha'is Under The Provisions Of The Covenant, have broken their Covenant and have failed to recognize not only the Guardianship but that other Pillar, the Promised One of God. Because of this, God is going to punish the Covenant-breakers by the four waves of the great catastrophe prophesied to come in the Holy Writ. Therefore, it is imperative that you, in taking your seat on the Throne, denounce as Covenant-breakers all of the Baha'is that do not accept the Twin Institutions of 'the BRANCH', as I am commanding you to accept in this letter, so that all of the peoples of the world will eventually be brought back under the provisions of their Covenant. If this is not done, there will be no life left alive upon this planet.

Faithfully in El Abha,

Dr. Leland Jensen
