22. “National rivalries, hatreds, and intrigues will
cease, and racial animosity and prejudice will be
replaced by racial amity, understanding and
cooperation. The causes of religious strife will be
permanently removed, economic barriers and
restrictions will be completely abolished, and the
inordinate distinction between classes will be
obliterated. Destitution on the one hand, and
gross accumulation of ownership on the other, will
disappear. …
1936

23. “The enormous energy dissipated and wasted on
war, whether economic or political, will be
consecrated to such ends as will extend the range
of human inventions and technical development,
to the increase of the productivity of mankind, to
the extermination of disease, to the extension of
scientific research, to the raising of the standard of
physical health, to the sharpening and refinement
of the human brain, …

24. … to the exploitation of the unused and
unsuspected resources of the planet, to the
prolongation of human life, and to the
furtherance of any other agency that can
stimulate the intellectual, the moral, and
spiritual life of the entire human race.
Shoghi Effendi

25. “The future civilization envisaged by
Bahá’u’lláh is a prosperous one, in which the
vast resources of the world will be directed
towards humanity’s elevation and
regeneration, not its debasement and
destruction..”
Universal House of Justice

26. Abundance delivers a
techno-optimistic outlook
But it doesn’t say anything about how humanity can
adapt to this techno bright future
Specifically, it mentions that old institutions, old
organizations, old ways of thinking are not adapted
to this new world.
But it doesn’t say much about the mindset changes
that are needed, and how to make sure this benefits
everyone.
