II-
THE CAUSE OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE DAHESHITE FAITH
Since the dawn of history, humanity did not witness so much anxiety,
growing despair, so many calamities, and a life so cruel and desperate,
as the peoples of this 20th century are experiencing.
They are being
tortured by the difficulties of existence, by the uncertainty of
tomorrow, by the unbalanced psychic order, by the instability of
the mind amidst creeds and contradictory troubled philosophies and
by the absence of a moral value which gives life hope, consolation
and force.
The human society
is anxious because of the disharmony in individual’s interests,
because of the tearing unity among its subjects of the contradictory
means of salvation used by different sects and parties, and of the
desperate ways to build up a just peaceful state.
The world is
troubled by the competition of all these countries in their desire
to prorogate peace while at the same time they are provoking wars
and fomenting enmities. Moreover the fear of the feeble peoples
from the unlimited ambitions of the strong creates a reciprocal
mistrust.
Also the competition
of nations in developing armaments for destruction and their desire
to possess such armaments allows the approach of the phantom of
a world atomic war which destroys life and civilization.
And in all
this, science has become an instrument consecrated to the passions
of the soul and to the force of evil. The role of the mind has been
restraint and replaced by madness.
This tragic
anxiety, this psychological tearing would not have dominated fully
the 20th century had man not weakened spiritually to such an extent
as to become captive of evil.
People have
abandoned the highly true ideals which can reinforce the spirit
that leads to the road of personal stability, to psychic harmony,
to cultural perfection and consequently to real civilization. They
have instead been attracted to fake ideals taken from hazardous
and circumstantial laws and the imaginative human force thought
of as being the ideal truth while as a matter of fact it is nothing
but a looming mirage at which the deceived eyes were suspended,
and the weakened minds, due to caprices, were unable to see the
genuine reality.
The marks of
such deviation appeared due; to growing day after day despair of
people and to the beginning of a general collapse in ancient hopes
of building up a world where peace, justice, love, virtue and happiness
would reign.
Man would not
have directed himself and deserved such a catastrophic end had he
not accepted it willingly.
He preferred
rather to follow an external materialistic path in order to satisfy
his animal instincts, his egoistic and individualistic desires,
his social enmity and aversion through obtaining an immediate, easy
and empty sensual satisfaction a rapid terrestrial glory, and a
superficial regional egotism.
He deviated
therefore from the internal spiritual path which alone can, in its
ascension, realize the perfection of man, his real elevation, the
correctness of his plans and his institutions that would allow the
domination of the humanitarian tendencies over the malicious inclinations
in individuals and society. Because of this spiritual weakness man
has preferred this superficial materialistic civilization to satisfy
his mortal senses and to keep away from the inward light and from
profound peace and happiness.
What has seduced
man to tread along this unbefitting road of life was his keeping
away from real and steady faith which confirms the existence of
the Soul and its immortality. This dissertation provoked the inclination
towards the wrong path. Thus we find today the total majority of
the people are either plunged in doubt or in atheism.
This psychic
state of anxiety, influenced by materialism in conception, judgment
and behavior, coupled with a scientific practical mind has provoked
the world to ask, whether consciously or unconsciously for a positive
non-theoretical confirmation of the existence of the Soul. A scientific
proof that would ease their anxiety, heal their bleeding wounds
give hope in the salvation of their souls, eliminate the doubts
which have arisen out of the discoveries and inventions which dazzled
their eyes. In other words a confirmation that would be up to the
standard and the measures of this century.
The doctrinated
philosophies could not offer this positive affirmation, as they
are the works of different mental and theoretical edifices based
on different foundations which are approved by some and denied by
others.
Also the present
different religious sects could not as well propose such affirmation
because all their arguments are theoretical.
And the known
logical sciences also could not have the possibility of advancing
such practical proofs because the Soul can neither be measured nor
subjected to man’s wishes especially when the scientific instruments
used are limited and are of a material nature.
In front of
such a total human incapacity and the urgent need for faith to save
the souls of mankind, nothing was left for the Omnipotent, Omniscient
Spirit but to directly materialize itself by appearing and declaring
its existence to the people through the help of God and His Grace.
This is how the Spirit coming from its divine heights, had chosen
a man from Lebanon, enabling him to fulfill the required task, by
filling in the vacancies of the Souls through the affirmation of
the Divine Truth, by dazzling and fascinating the eyes of the incredulous
and by consoling the hearts of the humble.
How could man
be able to ascertain the existence of the wind which he cannot see
if it were not for the agitation it provokes in the branches and
the leaves and for the gentle breeze that is felt when it envelops
his face?
How could man
ascertain the existence of the mind, if it were not for the works
it creates and the intelligences it engenders? Man is not within
the power to see it or touch it, yet he does not doubt its existence.
For the manifestations of the mind and its intellectual works are
indisputable witnesses which prove its existence.
The same is
true with the Spirit; man would not have been able to ascertain
its existence, if it were not for its supernatural effects, and
its miraculous manifestations which affirm its existence.
The Sciences
- those deeds through the excellence of the intelligence -are nothing
in their progressive course except a simple trial to enrich the
discoveries of natural laws which express only some traits of the
Divine, Eternal Truth. Nevertheless, these sciences remain a sufficient
proof for man to admire the strength of the mortal mind which imposes
all respect.
The prodigies
of the Spirit which challenge the human mind surpass by far the
possibilities of human intelligence in its possibilities, experiences
and discoveries - a fact which makes man stand astonished like an
incapable dwarf. Would not that be a sufficient proof of the greatness
of the Spirit, of its Omnipotence and its supernatural force?
What a great
difference between a force limited by the dimension of matter and
subjected to its laws, and another which is far superior and surpasses
the laws of matter and conditions of time and space.
There is a
great difference between a fading lantern which represents the mortal
mind and the dazzling blaze of the Sun which represents the Spirit.
This powerless,
inferior, human intelligence which failed and as a result thereof
became pretentious and incredulous will stand in a critical position,
this time, in front of the supremacy of the Spirit. The human intelligence
therefore must either realize the possibilities and the miracles
of the Spirit or submit to the all-powerful messenger of God.
Upon the firm
ascertainment of the existence of the Spirit and its universal presence
which is beyond all dimensions and human forces, man will perceive
all things from a different angle. His condition will be transformed,
his reasoning, his estimations, his judgments - all will have a
different outlook. Even his divers activities which used to derive
from fictitious, ephemeral, material force, will now derive from
a spiritual force with eternal dimensions.
At this time,
it will be possible for him to understand what is not being seen
is the unseen, and beyond the touchable is the untouchable. That
the unseen and the untouchable spring from the Powerful, Just and
Divine who accords to every one what he deserves whether it be reward,
punishment or compassion.
Man at this
stage will be able to comprehend the continuity of his spiritual
existence the link between his coming future with his present state,
the building up of his next life over past one, the obvious manifestation
of the Creator as the great source to Spiritual forces and as a
final aim to the perfection of the being and the continuity of his
life. He will also be able to look into the after death period and
will be able to direct his way and thinking, through spiritual awakening,
into a path which will guarantee his real perfection, his real salvation
and real profound peace.
III - THE UNITY OF RELIGIONS IS A NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE
OF THE FAITH IN THE MIRACLES OF THE SPIRIT
The Spirit
of God, the only God, is the same one which bestowed the doctrine
upon the prophet Moses and let Jesus approve and complete what was
done before Him, saying: “Think not that I came to destroy the law
or the prophets; I came not to destroy, but to fulfill”. (Matt.
5:17)
The Spirit
of God which inspired the Koran also declared and approved of what
was done before: “The book was bestowed upon you in confirmation
of the truth, as was done before, for the Bible and the Gospel were
for the guidance of the people”. (Sourat el Bakara 3)
And as Jesus
imposed the faith in Moses as a way to believe in Him, when he said:
“For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me, for he wrote of
me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?” (John: 5: 46 & 47).
The Koran equally
imposed on the believers to believe in all the prophets without
any differentiation: “Those who do not believe in God and his apostles
and wish to differentiate between them saying that they believe
in some and do not in others are unbelievers indeed, to whom is
reserved infinite suffering; while those who had believed in God
and his apostles, and did not make differentiation between them,
will be rewarded for God is all Merciful”. (Sourat Al Nissa: 150
– 152)
People have
forgotten or seem to have forgotten this spiritual religious unity.
Especially in this part of the world, the land of prophets, they
have with their own hands woven a veil to cover their eyes, whose
threads are of the terrestrial covetousness and personal sectarian
interests.
Out of the
only one God they have made a multiple of divinities through their
disputes and allowed the religion of the unique spirit to be torn
by different creeds which consequently led many of those who work
for national social affairs to put aside the religious loyalty,
replacing it by national loyalty and civil statutes or to completely
abandon religious creed and replace it with atheism as a way of
life and religion. They have been led to make such an invitation
when they felt have given up hope regarding the return to spiritual
unity and to the essence of religion which is based on love and
virtue.
No ladies and
Gentlemen, neither abandoning religion nor atheism would solve our
difficulties. And it is impossible for us not to worship a divinity,
for religion is inherent property of the Soul. It is part of its
essence. Banish it while you are awake, it will appear to you in
your sleep.
Religion is
a fundamental psychic need and man should observe to constantly
satisfy it, lest it might provoke in him restlessness and confusion.
This is a truth which has been confirmed by great psychologists,
such as the Swiss, Carl Jung, the German, Wilfred Deim, and Schtoker
the Frenchman.
Actually those
who pretend to live without worshiping a divinity imagine so and
deceive themselves by putting a mask and by changing its form because
in reality they cannot expel from their souls the real existence
of the divinity.
Instead of
believing in a perfect God, God of love, Justice and truth eternal
God, Creator and Organizer of the Universe and mankind, they have
set up for their usage and necessities false and imperfect divinities
which they adore.
They have made
a God out of a nation or a party; they have considered earth, nature
or life as a God; they have worshipped their own pretensions and
their own desires. They have replaced the Absolute by the relative,
the whole by the partial, the essence by the superficial, the veritable
by the false, that which is permanent and eternal by the unstable
and ephemeral.
That is why
their perspective of realities shall be wrong; their measures of
values shall be erroneous, for they are subjected to the effects
of a false ideal which dominates them.
The fact of
putting religion on the margin of life, of facing it with indifference,
or according it with a secondary importance, all these lead progressively
to atheism, or even worse than atheism.
Many are those
who have their Souls paralyzed, who are neither cold not hot. To
these Jesus said: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold
nor hot, I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm,
and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth”. (Rev.
John 3: 15, 16)
“What is then
the solution?” Says the exalted for national and social problems.
“Shall we keep fanatic sectarianism divide the nation into pieces
and let each one of them claim the exclusivity of God and heaven
until we finally lose both religion and the world?” The solution
has been given by God, and even if it were not, the pure and the
intelligent should have created one. It constitutes the return to
the foundations of authentic faith in the unity of religions and
the essence of their teaching through a new spiritual mission supported
by miracles as planned by God to guide the lost wanderers and to
Lebanon before others.
The Divine
Spirit which realize the miracles through the intermediary of Dr.
Dahesh is coming down from its heights and performing them in the
name of God and Christ, in the name of God and Mohammed, in the
name of God and Moses, or Buddha. Because all the prophets are the
fingers of the Divine Mercy that spreads the arm over this miserable
world.
In the presence
of the Divine Spirit and in the presence of miracles man feels that
he is the brother of man, that there is no difference between a
White and a Negro, between rich and poor, between the great and
the humble, between a Christian and Mohammedan, a Jew or a Buddhist.
The Christian
continues to maintain his faith in the teachings of the Gospel,
the Moslem in the Koran, and the Jew through the Bible (Thora).
And all will have the certainty that the Spirit which inspired their
different prophets was nothing but one and the same Spirit.
They will then
become aware that what separates them is not the good but the evil,
and their return to God will be performed on the bridge of authentic
faith which will not be the “Opium” of the peoples.
The faith which
based not on theory but also on practical spiritual life, where
virtue realizes the acts, the words, and the thoughts and where
cooperation, love, brotherhood and social justice dominate.
And if people
withhold then from evil, it will never be because of fear of human
laws, but because of an inward urge which springs from the elevation
of the Spirit and which is skinned of superstitions, rites and sectarian
formalities invented by man. These formalities are the cause of
reciprocal enmities and obstacles.
Some may protest
saying: “Supposing that we believed in the unity of religions, how
could we succeed in reconciling the contradictions in beliefs and
interpretations?”
My answer to
that is this: “The Daheshite faith has offered a solution to each
problem.” This was not and is not invented but is revealed through
the Divine Spirit. I shall satisfy myself with only one example
which offers a contradictory problem between Christianity and Islam
with regards to the crucifixion of Christ. The Gospel indicates
that Christ was crucified whilst the Koran says: “They did not kill
Him; they did not crucify Him. But what they saw was an identical
resemblance”. Sourat Al Nissa IV: 157)
Which one of
the two books is right? The truth is that both of them are tight.
However, this truth cannot be clarified except through the Daheshite
Faith, by applying palpable and material proofs.
It has been
obvious to me and to dozens of people that Dr. Dahesh possesses
six personalities apart from his own human personality. These personalities
are spiritual extensions fluids i.e. his spiritual extensions located
in different celestial worlds. These extensions are permitted sometimes,
through God’s wish, to incarnate in order to fulfill an important
spiritual mission, using Dr. Dahesh’s human form in such a way that
it would be impossible to differentiate between them.
It is then
possible for those present to talk, touch, and sit by the personality
without being able to notice any difference in the order personalities
and the real Dr. Dahesh except when they are dressed differently
and when one knows before hand what Dr. Dahesh had as a dress before
the appearance of these personalities.
Very often
these personalities appear and disappear suddenly while looking
at them or talking to them. Sometimes two or even more than two-up
to six can gather at the same time in one place and can incarnate
at the same moment in two different places far from each other.
It was evident
to me and to many others who have seen these personalities that
they are not subject to the laws of this earth at all.
They penetrate
obstacles and walls and move freely with the velocity of lightning
from one place to another. They subordinate the law of gravity by
ascending in the air, walking over the water, increasing or decreasing
their volume or weight. In brief, they are capable, through God’s
will, of doing what the spirit can do in the way of miracles.
In 1947, one
of His personalities was put under arrest in Azerbaijan, an Iranian
province and was shot and later on buried in the same region.
Newspapers
in Lebanon and in other Arab countries announced the news of Dr.
Dahesh’s death and published the photographs of his execution. At
that time Dr. Dahesh was found among his disciples in Beirut, pursuing
the teaching of the truth. His personality which was shot in Azerbaijan,
through a miracle, resuscitated from death, not being subject to
the laws of this earth, as it is not from this earth and death cannot
dominate over it.
If I were not
limited by time, I would have mentioned many cases and detailed
events dealing with the appearance of Dr. Daheh’s multiple personalities
so many occurrences that would fill a big volume. However, I would
like to content myself by stating some names of those, who like
me, have witnessed the incarnation of these personalities namely:
Mr. & Mrs
Edward Noon, Dr. Shaheen Salibi, Dr. George Khabsa, Dr. Farid Abu
Sleiman, Dr. Najib Ashi, Dr. George Haddad, Messrs Boulos Francis,
Nicholas Daher, Emile Kassatly, Amine Nemer, and from the ladies:
Mary Haddad, Zeina Haddad, Nadia Gabriel, Victoria Slim and many
others.
One of Dr. Dahesh's Personalities before it was shot at
Azerbaijan in 1947... and after execution
The Gospel
in affirming the crucifixion of Christ meant the crucifixion of
one of his personalities. But the Gospels, due to spiritual reasons,
did not clarify this fact. They were satisfied to state that the
crucified Christ had resuscitated from death, appearing and disappearing
in front of his disciples.
The Koran in
assuring the non-crucifixion of Christ, meant therein the non-crucifixion
of Issa, the son of Mary. The human person who was born, and clarified
that the one crucified was an identical personality to Christ, this
identical being cannot be except one of his personalities.
Daheshism demonstrates
as you can see the unity of Islam and Christianity and the unity
of the revelations of the anterior and the posterior - not by theories
and contradictory points of view but with palpable proofs.
It has been
confirmed through substantial proofs and thousands of witnesses
that Dr. Dahesh has been for the last half century, dazzling the
minds of people and astounding the scholars and the theologians
with his miraculous performances in all fields. Despite the storms
of doubts and the jealousy raised around him by interested individuals;
despite the hard attacks of blackmailing launched against him by
some hired cheap newspapers, and despite the desperate trials to
let his miracles appear as deceiving illusions... All these persecutors,
cruel calumniators and imposters failed in their attacks no matter
how numerous and powerful they were. Dr. Dahesh remained immutable
radiating the truth, confounding pretentious and calling all, especially
those who are sincere to the cause of undeniable, authentic spirit,
and those who are faithful to prorogate faith in God and to bring
back those who went astray the atheists.
With all this
as a premise, I consider the study of his teachings and his miracles
as an urgent necessary affair. Because He alone can straighten the
erroneous conceptions of men and make them revert to the right path
to goodness and justice.
Should the
minds be able to direct themselves audaciously towards this force,
seeking salvation, and should it be possible for them to ignore
the superstitions of traditions and the interests of sectarianism,
then no force can sow hope in the desert of life better than the
one bestowed upon Him.
So it is fit
for those perspicacious believers to prepare the way in front of
Him. For half a century of experience is sufficient to be able to
denounce his acts, had they been false or untrue. But if these acts
are true and positive, then woe and misery would accompany those
who would have put obstacles in His way and who would have deformed
his purity. For the burden which will be suspended around their
necks by the future generations shall be heavier than the mill-stone.
History has
never witnessed, not even once, the truth emanating from the multitude.
The scientific certitudes were always found and declared by a few
and were given to the multitude who doubted and refused to accept
them.
Do you remember
Socrates, Galileo, and Vanini?
As for the
spiritual truths, they were preached by the few to the lost humanity
who protested against them and persecuted them. The prophets and
the apostles are shining examples.
Those very
few guides or messengers of peace among the overwhelming lost majority
of men appeared as insane at first, but it was they - the so-called
fools - who built up the great civilizations and pushed man in his
forward march towards progress and nobler causes. In fact they are
the only immortals!
