"The activity most intimately linked to the consciousness that distinguishes human nature is the individual's exploration of reality for himself or herself."
Baha'i International Community, - "The Prosperity of Humankind"
The purpose of The Foundation for the Investigation of Reality (FIR) is to teach people to remove the obstacles that blind their perceptive faculties--physical, emotional, intellectual, and higher self faculties--that they may discover the purpose for which they were called into being. The Foundation for the Investigation of Reality believes that as these obstacles are removed, the causes of human suffering--such as the corruption of human morals, prejudices, suspicion, hatred, untrustworthiness, selfishness and tyranny--are likewise removed.
The means The Foundation for the Investigation of Reality uses to accomplish this purpose is developing, sharing, administering and encouraging others to develop, share and administer--in any and every way possible--a holistic body of knowledge named The Science of Reality ™, as well as applications of this knowledge which can take on many forms of expression, such as but not limited to: a secular educational philosophy, self-improvement and self-actualization courses; academic papers for purposes of publicity; preservation, computerization, further development of, and ongoing maintainance of The Master Index of the Worlds of God, and the teaching of the unique indexing technique which is used to build The Master Index.
