With respect I disagree. If the veiled Tahirih was told by Baha'u'llah that in the future there will be female heads of state, she would have been forgiven for telling Baha'u'llah that your teachings are great and have raised my consciousness but they don't correspond with reality. But alas, the unimaginable became reality.
These things take time. Not in my lifetime, but I KNOW that the seeds are sown, the sprouts are shooting and the "does not correspond with reality" is becoming realised.
The raising of consciousness is for the individual, the community and its institutions, and so, no, the individual is not forsaken, but rather the collective and the institutional are added into the mix. So when I'm talking about "human" I'm referring to these 3 main protagonists.
