Alzheimer's
In short, the proofs are many that go to show that despite the loss of reason, the power of the soul would still continue to exist.

The report from . . . indicates that the . . . old believer is not always lucid apparently suffering from Alzheimers disease. Whether this individual is able to serve on the Assembly will depend on the degree to which he is able to understand what is being discussed and participate. The brief compilation of Writings on mental illness . . . will hopefully assist the friends to clarify whether the elderly believer could be considered for Assembly membership.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 19 Jalal 183 B.E.
Sin is the state of man in the world of the baser nature, for in nature exist defects such as injustice, tyranny, hatred, hostility, strife: these are characteristics of the lower plane of nature. These are the sins of the world, the fruits of the tree from which Adam did eat.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Paris Talks, p. 177
