Rainn Wilson on his Baha'i faith and why his success is connected to his spirituality
Ойын-сауық
For nine seasons, Rainn Wilson played the eccentric beet-farming paper salesman Dwight Schrute on The Office. As beloved as that character was, Wilson chalks up much of his success to his spirituality. He talks with Tom Power about the intersection between his acting and his faith, and his new book Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.

Wow. Just wow. I'm blown away. I had no idea how deep this actor is. There are so many ideas in here to think critically about! Bravo!!!!
I love his focus on serving others and fostering joy since those are universal concepts and acions that can be shared regardless of where you come from and what you believe.
Because of the behavior of many people are moving away from religion but what he talking about it makes sense .
Wonderful interview. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this interview. I've been contemplating my roll as an artist and how it shows up in the world.
The bahai faith believes that wherever our talents are ..if they are not against god..they are here like a fruit of a tree..we need to work on our talents and its godly to do that..and art is a talent and it needs to be done..in the bahai faith it's a form of worship
Buen programa identificando que los actores interiormente algunos tienen la herramienta divina que es esencial para ser personas dignas de llamarse nobles.
YES
I thought we only had baha'is in Egypt , that's very interesting

From Wikipedia: it is recognized as the second-most geographically widespread religion after Christianity
He spoiled the moment. I can’t believe he didn’t say “how the turn tables.” 😂😂

Are you sure this interview wasn't generated by AI? Because seeing a celebrity talk about these sings is so surreal it feels like an AI interview.

Lol true in a sense. But Rainn Wilson, Justin Baldoni, Penn Badgley are talking about these things regularly. I mean they're all Bahai.

Not at all. It’s a Persian faith like Zoroastrianism. Their prophets however created a new religion. More closely linked to Shia Islam than Judaism.

It’s similar to the ahmadia
That is no faith but a snake waiting to strike with corruption cross reference and dissect.
Is he a follower of the Orthodox Baha'i Faith?

Exactly!! The Baha’i faith will never break out in sects like all the religions of the past. It’s all one unfolding religion .
