Creation and Its Causes: Part 1
Ward Parks is a Meher Baba scholar and editor who travels around the world speaking about Baba literature. Last year, Ward gave a six-part seminar on Creation and Its Causes, the recently published book of lectures given by Meher Baba to the Meher Ashram boys in 1927. This is Part One of that presentation.
This introductory first part outlines the nature, context and contents of Baba’s discourses before He came to the west, leading into discussion of the lectures and illustrations that make up Creation and Its Causes.
We will be sharing Part Two of the series next week, along with the other parts. Ward returns to Meher Center from October 20-22, 2023 to present on “An Integrated Darshana: God Speaks in relation to Meher Baba’s Discourse Literature of the 1920s.”

Panel Discussion on Following Meher Baba
During this recent panel discussion at the Meeting Place, three lovers of Meher Baba answer questions about following Meher Baba in their personal lives. Questions include how they describe Meher Baba to those who don’t know about Him, how Baba helps them through difficult times, and what they have learned from Baba’s close ones. Part of the “Meher Baba’s Life and Message” program, this panel will hopefully be the first of many.

Journey In Consciousness Session One
“Journey in Consciousness” is a five part series intended as an introduction to Meher Baba with a common thread of consciousness and its advancement. Above is the first session; all the other sessions can be found here. Systematically presented by Daniel Stone, these sessions build on each other beautifully to demonstrate and weave together Baba’s messages on the Divine Theme, karma and sanskaras, eventually leading us to the role and necessity of a Master, the New Humanity and the Path of Love as explained by Baba to His lovers.
