The IBC had to get rid of the IBC because it interfered with their plans to
eliminate the guardianship.

If the Hands had allowed the IBC to function as it was originally
established and intended, they would have lost the power that they
wrongfully assumed.  All covenant breaking-- and the Custodial Hands (with
one exception) were covenant breakers--- is based upon the desire for
personal power or prestige of some kind.  The Hands HATED having a guardian.
When Shoghi Effendi passed away, they finally were free to enjoy the perks
and advantages of being Baha'i royalty without having to obey the Baha'i
king.  It is really that simple.

Most of the Baha'is today are not true Baha'is.  They know very little of
the teachings that they supposedly have faith in.  They sheepishly obey the
AO and are perfectly willing to accept the dumbed down "peace and love"
ex-hippie religion that has been handed to them.  If there are any sincere
believers amongst them, time is running out for them to distinguish
themselves by coming under the shadow of the Tree of the Covenant.  Shoghi
Effendi clearly stated that the IBC was to be the UHJ.  The institution that
you call the UHJ is the headless man-made, Hand-made imposter that the Hands
foisted upon the Baha'i world in place of the one established by Shoghi
Effendi-- the divinely guided UHJ with the Guardian at its head.

The Hands chopped off its head and killed it.

Instead of allowing it to advance through the stages that Shoghi Effendi
called for it, the Hands DISOBEYED the Guardian and dissolved the thing.

The Hands could not stand the idea of Mason Remey as the Guardian.  The
Persian Hands believed, in their arrogance and racial pride, that it was
preposterous for an American to be the Guardian.  Shoghi Effendi's widow
could not tolerate the idea of taking orders from anybody, and the rest of
the Hands just went along in their weakness and spiritual lethargy.  But
they could not have the IBC be the UHJ or else they would have to face the
fact that Shoghi Effendi appointed Mason as the head of the UHJ which is a
term synonymous with the Guardian.

The Heterodox friends would have us believe that Shoghi simply was wrong
about the IBC.  They say it could not have evolved as Shoghi intended, and
therefore it had to be dissolved so they could quickly elect a headless UHJ
to put its stamp of approval on their little coup.

Again, they would have us believe that it was impossible for the IBC to
evolve into an international court.  Those who believe the Guardian was
wrong and must be disobeyed-- those are the covenant breakers.  That is the
definition-- those who OPPOSE the GUARDIAN.

Lets assume for a moment that world events in 1963 prevented the IBC from
evolving into a court.  Do we just disregard and disobey the first Guardian?

Essential means indispensable.  prelude means an event, or action preceding
a more important one.  In other words, Shoghi Effendi said it was
indispensable that the IBC evolve into a court before it evolved into the
UHJ.

The reason is that the Hands, and most of the Baha'is around the world
REJECTED AND DISOBEYED THE GUARDIAN.

Recognizing that their claim to power had no moral or legal justification,
they needed to create the supposedly "infallible" so-called UHJ to decide
the question of whether there could be a second Guardian.  I wonder what
would have happened if this UHJ they created actually was infallibly guided
enough to state that yes, there was a second Guardian and it recognized
Mason Remey?  My guess is that the Hands would have dissolved that UHJ and
replaced it-- just like they did with the French NSA after it correctly
accepted Mason Remey's proclamation.
