Dear Alan,

Dr. Brax wrote in "Sayyals Part 4" the following:
"For the first time in the history of philosophy and religion and through the Revealed teachings of Daheshism, the true psychological nature of man is clearer to us than it ever been and now we comprehend that each human being is endowed with a Greater Self, which is a Divine Spirit that he originated from and that his human self consists of several sub-selves of different Spiritual levels and linked indirectly with other sub-selves on Earth, Infernal Worlds, or Lofty Worlds, and that the road to salvation is through the conquering of his earthly desires and his infernal obsessions and to direct his thinking and desires towards goodness, truthfulness and beauty. That’s because the Spiritual value of a human being lies in the kind of relationships of his Main Sayyal with his other conscious and unconscious Sayyals and with his Mother-Spirit that he originated from."

There are two Worlds: Physical and Spiritual. The Spiritual World consists of 150 Spiritual levels and the Throne of God lies beyond the 150th level. Spirits do not come in contact with the Physical World except through the transmission of their invisible Spiritual rays that in Daheshism we call "Sayyalat," an Arabic word that signify "Spiritual Fluids." [in short: Sayyals (plural) and Sayyal (singular)] These Sayyals form the entire Physical World--including everything that exists in this universe or in any parallel universe and comprising of 150 Lofty Worlds of Paradise (150 levels above the level of Earth) and 150 Infernal Worlds (150 levels lower than Earth). So, a Mother-Spirit is a particular Spirit of the Spiritual World with links to an indeterminate number of existences throughout the Physical World. The elevation or degradation of a Mother-Spirit within the Spiritual World depends on the elevation or degradation of its Sayyals throughout the Physical World.

I hope you find this explanation helpful.

Sincerely,

Mounir Murad

Mounir, can you define what Dr. Brax refers to as "Mother-Spirits?"

Dear Ron,

There are so many topics that need to be elaborated on and one such topic is "Spiritual Sessions." I will include with this reply the last section in Sayyals Part 4 that addresses this issue. I hope it answers your question!

In the last section of Sayyals Part 4 Dr. Brax wrote:

Physical Proof for the Immortality of the Soul

After we have clarified the Daheshist view of the psychological self, the question that comes to mind: is there a physical proof for the immortality of the Soul? Daheshist teachings affirm that the Sayyals that constitute the human Soul, as well as all the Sayyals in the universe, do not perish, because their essence is Spiritual and are connected to the Eternal Spiritual World where their immortal Mother-Spirits reside. The decisive physical proof for the immortality of the Spirit is through palpable miracles that transgress the laws of nature relative to our limited human knowledge but not relative to their comprehensive knowledge that encompass the secrets of everything.

The founder of Daheshism clarifies this important issue by saying: “The proof to the existence of the Spirit can be realized by anyone who attends a Spiritual Session that I hold. During the Session, a Spirit will take on a human form, where it would be possible to communicate directly back and forth with it and without any pretense or mystery. The Spirit can perform miracles as a proof of its existence. Let us suppose that you have a watch that you can identify and you left in your home. During a Spiritual Session, you can ask to have your watch brought to you. Your house could be in America, China, Cairo, or Beirut, for distance is irrelevant. The response is amazingly fast and in less than a second, the watch can be on your wrist. This is an irrefutable physical proof that cannot be denied.

If the person attending the Spiritual Session is Christian, his faith in his Gospels is solidified. If he is a Muslim, his faith is increased by what was inspired in the Qur’an. If he is a Jew, his faith in the Torah becomes stronger, and so on with other faiths. The purpose of the Spiritual Session is to help people return to their religious faiths and to practice righteousness and decency. This would be a victory for the Spirit over materialism in an era where materialism has dominated the minds. Spiritual Sessions are not constrained to this miracle, but rather, numerous miracles can happen that would strengthen the faith of those attending. For example, you can bring with you from home a plate that you normally use for meals. When the Spirit takes on a human form, you can ask it to have the plate be transmuted from porcelain into wood. While holding the plate in both of your hands, the Spirit would transmute it immediately into wood. This plate remains a wooden plate for days and years. You could have asked the Spirit, instead, to have the plate be transmuted to iron and the change would have taken place immediately and you’ll notice its weight increase while holding it in both of your hands. Likewise, you could have asked the Spirit to change the plate to any material you desire, such as; lead or crystal...”

When Dr. Dahesh was asked: Can the Spirit transmute a plate to Gold? He replied affirmatively, however he explained that the purpose of miracles is not the satisfaction of our materialistic desires, for Lord Christ, who fed thousands from a few loafs of bread, was very capable to bring money and give it to his hungry Disciples. He continued his clarification by saying: “he could have easily done that and had he did, Christianity would never have emerged. People would have said that his disciples follow him because he showers them with money. The disciples were meant to suffer, led by their master. They would face hunger, lack of clothing, torture, and struggle, so that each one of them earned the rewards of his extensive struggle. For instance, if you are attending a Spiritual Session and asked to have a plate be transmuted into gold, the Spirit would tell you to pull a nail from the wall, instead, hold it tight with your hands and while holding it, it will turn into a golden nail that you can take to any jeweler and be assured that it is truly gold. Miracles take place to bring faith into the hearts and not for personal materialistic gain. That is, the miracle doesn’t occur so that the person comes out happy with what he saw, but rather, that he entered as an atheist and exited believing in the day of reckoning and in God.”

Comment on How Wonderful and How Horrible

2008-03-26T03:10:02Z

Dear Ron,

That's why it is "wonderful" to have such behavior and outlook--a behavior that all true religions calls for. Such behavior is indicative of the refined Sayyals that you possess and how such Sayyals are extremely bothered by the "horrible" behavior that goes counter to their nature.

I am also bothered by the "horrible" and would rather die than to live in such a degraded and negative environment. Granted, no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. The contrast between the "wonderful" and the "horrible" is a reminder to the reader (and to myself) that the purpose of life is to Spiritually elevate our Souls--something that can only be accomplished through decent behavior, hard work, and sacrifices in order to benefit humanity.

Sincerely,

Mounir Murad

The Lofty Spirit requested that I should not get discouraged by such allegations and that I should inform future Daheshists about the difficulties, for happy are those who persist to the end and woe to those who stray and tremble in fear.”

* Spirit of Father Peter, the First of the Apostles.

Could you expand upon your footnote reference to the last statement?

I feel the need to take the positive perspective. It is so easy to allow negative feelings to overwhelm us. That is why I try to use every ounce of my energy to take the positive view. I look for the child's smile, I try to love and hope I am loved in return, I try to give and hope it is appreciated, I try to help and ask nothing, I try treat all, even the most humble with respect, and on and on. Considering the negatives can become self fulfilling prophecies.

Comment on A Private Funeral

2007-10-15T15:04:16Z

Dear Ron,

There is only one Sayyal that is responsible for life and it is called the "Main Sayyal." Once this Sayyal leaves the body, death takes place. The other Sayyals can enter the body or leave the body throughout life. In the next few days Part#2 of the Sayyals will be posted and will explain this aspect in details.

Sincerely,

Mounir Murad
