I don't think we should give reasonable consideration to a letter
telling us to visualize Abdu'l-Baha telling us not to do something
which the entirety of the Tablets of the Divine Plan urge us to do.
She caricatures this as getting declarations, but as I already pointed
out this was never the intention.

Wrong. It is personal attacks which are prohibited.

I think I pointed that out sufficiently in my initial and subsequent
posts. I don't see what purpose would be served by repeating that
here. If we want to know what Abdu'l-Baha wants from us regarding
teaching then we should read the Tablets of the Divine Plan not
visualizations guided by someone who has repudiated Baha'u'llah.

If her motives were pure she would have clearly identified herself as
a Baha'i by now.
