Sacred Travel: Santiago Bahai Faith House of Worship
#holythrowback to earlier-2024 when I visited the Santiago Bahá’í Faith House of Worship in Santiago, Chile.
It’s always a spiritual event when I visit one of these temples, which are as holy in the Bahá’í Faith as they are rare in the world. There are only currently eight, and the locations have been carefully chosen to ensure that the religion holds a spot on each continent (bar Antarctica). I’ve stepped foot in four of these architectural masterpieces, and I agree with everyone that this South American landmark is one of the best.
Nine is the most sacred number in the Bahá’í Faith, so while their Houses are distinct, they must adhere to the same protocol: nine sides, nine pathways, and nine gardens. Santiago’s version achieved its goal using nine “sails” made from marble and glass. The main pity is that, like every such building, inside photography is banned, so I cannot show you the gorgeous ceiling where it all comes together. Designed by Canadian architect Siamak Hariri, it has deservedly won several awards.
Bahá’í Faith welcomes any religious background to enter their premises and worship however they wish. Indeed, the Bahá’í Faith recognises all major religions as correct and identical, as each was merely an evolution of God’s word. That’s very much congruent with Janthopoyism’s overall message.
Like the VAST majority of South America, Chile is a Christian country, with about 61% following. “No Religion” is second place with 37%.

Janthopoyism is a spiritual philosophy meets self-improvement program.
We view the Absolute collection of all Universal Energy to be the highest power. You are part of that power. You are an extension of divinity.
The ultimate purpose of this power is to evolve, and we each have a unique part to play in this progression. The details of your role are relayed to you every moment of your life via emotional notifications.
The tricky bit is that human beings have developed a communication barrier between themselves and this instruction.
This barrier is called "the brain".
But never fear! By utilising some very simple practices, you can open the flow of exchange, granting you access to the ether of infinite ideas, the infallible path of your guided destiny, and the recollection of your holiness.
Which is basically a wanky way of saying that your life is about to get a whole bunch better.
Join the movement before it becomes too mainstream.
