My Phone conversation with Dr Elham

_Hello Darweesh
_Oh hello Dr. Elham, is everything OK? what made you call this late.
He started laughing, _Who are you kidding with, you know what is it about.
_ Oh yes sorry, that.
Laugh again, _ You really scarred darweesh, I was joking. I admit its dangerous, its going to change peoples prospective about conventional religions and science theories, and they wouldn't want anyone to read it. But by the time they know it has done that. Its already going to be late to do anything about it. They have to teach it in every university that is not sponsored or run by church or a Mosq or a Hanukkah. When they teach about history of religion and theories of creation etc. They have to tell people, oh yeah there is another alternative theory.
It was my turn to laugh.
_ Oh my Dr Elham, you are so sure of yourself. How do you know your theory will be taught and get that attention, you haven't even written a word of it.
_Look Darweesh I understand what you are saying but I have pretty much a good idea what I am going to write about, if I live to complete it. Its all in my brain.
_And why amazon Dr Elham, I hate snakes and messy birds and monkeys.
_Well the main reason is I have to be away from all news and TVs and New York times and high speed Internet etc. I have to concentrate. And creation and God is about variety. And where else you can find more variety than amazon. And for your comfort, where I am going is just a few miles from Fortaleza, you can hangout there.
_ Oh that beautiful city with best beaches than anywhere? Now you are bribing me, I still don't think I am ready.
_Anyways darweesh I thought I offer. You still have thirteen days to think it over and decide before I make my final reservation and arrangement.
I told myself, thirteen days? wow , a lot can happen by than. Not like tonight that he sent me two emails than called me too. I can totally disappear by than. Or think of best excuse.

Email From Dr. Elham

The weekend was uneventful. I went to a barbeque's party, read some books, rented couple DVDs the usual.
Sunday night, just when I was thinking Dr. Elham forgot all about me, I got his email, asking me how I was and what I was doing this fall? Well, that email didn't sound dangerous. He was just trying to keep in touch. I answered him with really what I was thinking doing. Which was taking it easy and wasn't looking for serious job till next year.
I wanted to go to bed, but by now I was obsessed with my email, thanks to Dr. Elham. So I decide it to check it one more time before I go to bed. There it was , his second email that night.
So you really want to participate? Maybe I can use your psychology expertise. You know better
the way humans think. My neurology and extensive reading about religions and civilizations and languages may not be enough. Want to go with me?
I replied what? me amazon? Do you want me to be eaten by cobras? I even don't like those big parrots or whatever they call it. Beside I am not the risk taker kind of guy and you know it. And you told me it was dangerous. Anyways can you call me and we discuss it there?
He called me right away. I cussed when I heard the phone. What is he? an owl or vampire? does he ever sleep?

My Poor Soul

Even I felt sorry for myself. This was the first time I thought I have don't something so stupid that there was no explanation for it.
Why did I have to ask him what was his big project? I knew he was weird and better be left alone to his crazy idea's.
What if he really can explain abut creation and universe and God and Humans relationship. Doesn't sound far fetched. He always had a way of convincing people the most unusual way and make them believe on something they never heard before. And he said was dangerous. I wonder what he meant. Let me email him, can't sleep anyways. Oh no, I better not, lets hope he forget about me and the whole email thing. Crossed my fingers and went to bed. Waited 30 minutes, sixty, an hour. Nothing. Got up and checked my email. Was all spams and adds, and a friend wanted to know if I want to go to Seattle Art Museum with him, because he thinks I am good in Art history and can explain pieces to him. I totally ignored it. My mind was thinking about something bigger. But was happy no email from Dr. Elham.
Next day I went to my part time job in university research laboratory about DNA.
I just finished my PHD in psychology. It wore me out. I didn't want to take a serious job for six months at least, and take it easy. Since I had a major in nuclear biology too. I thought DNA lab can keep me busy, although everyday I was thinking about quitting.
This was Friday, I came home, checked my email, still nothing from him.
_ sigh of relief
Took a Foster beer from the fridge , than another one, my head started getting heavy , went to bed and finally I got some sleep.

Red Square

I am not talking about Moscow. I am talking about Seattle Washington, on the campus of University of Washington, the main area between the major buildings made of red bricks and is called Red Square. That's where I met my old teacher Dr Elham last summer again. Years ago for a quarter he volunteered to teach Psychology twice a week for a quarter that he actually took off his main job to write a book. Something about brain antennas, expression he said he first heard of his anatomy teacher in second year of medical school. He always seemed a weird guy to me, He studied medicine but wasn't practicing it. He knew seven or eight languages but didn't write even a paper about one.
He was a scientist but believed in stuff such as telepathy, out of body experience, aliens and multiple other dimensions. He seemed very smart guy, had an answer for everything and they say he studied every religion you can think off, researched in philosophy, worked with human Brain, studied several languages but never took anything serious enough to make a carrier from it. Once I asked him what was his main hobby, he said challenging myself, proofing my own theories wrong and coming up with better explanations. Hm mm I just said OK politely and try not to make him see what I was thinking. I was afraid he can read my mind " what a boring hobby"
I made a fake smile and hurried up to leave.
So it happened I met him again last summer when I was browsing university and he was looking
for some book on old Persian Prophet Zoroaster.
- Oh Dr Elham, so good to see you again Sir.
-What? Oh my God, Darweesh, is that you?
_Yes Sir, the one and only, oh I see Zoroaster's book, what crazy idea in your mind now, are you converting to a new religion. I knew I can never predict you what are you going to do next. But this one is way extreme even to you.
_Common Darweesh, don't be silly. It seem you don't know me well enough, Otherwise you would have known by now, no religion in the world has the answer to my crazy questions, so none of them can attract me that much so I devote my life to it. The interesting thing about Zoroastrianism is that he was before any prophet that we call main religions founders. The things he said, repeated in all the others come after it. Sometime word by word, sometime the main idea. Yet no one gives credit to it. That what interested me. You know, you always been a bright guy but your problem is , you never take a good book seriously.
-OK, OK to much for me Dr Elham, I believe you. So whats the next big plan.
_ Oh I am going to spend sometime in Amazon this summer.
_This is unlike you. You never have fun and relaxation, I am glad you came to your senses.
He stares at me, goes to deep thinking, his big eyes looking toward the sky. Totally silent.
Bites his lip, seems like he want to say something, than silence again.
I feel uneasy, uncomfortable for some reason.
_ What is it Dr? I Think you have something to say. It seems must be something important.
_ Yes Darweesh, now that you have to know, I am not going to amazon to relax and take a break. My whole important mission is ahead of me. I think this is the one God sent me to this world to accomplish. I am not saying I am that important or proud of myself, but every human being has a mission in this world. But I believe he gave me something that's too big. Tell you the truth I am scarred.
_Scarred? You Dr. Elham? You seem to know answer to every question.
_ You and your trust in me, you are killing me Darweesh, no one knows answer to every question. That's God's job.
_God? I thought you never practice any religion, remember ? You used to laugh at them.
_ That's where you are wrong Darweesh, I believe in my God and no one Else's.
_Hm mm too complicated for me, anyways whats that mission that you are after?
Now, now, not that easy, how do I trust you not to tell anyone. If they know how this is going to revolutionize the way we human think and believe and practice. They are going to stop it before it starts.
_ Who are they?
_Everybody who has a system of believes.
_OK, OK, maybe too much for me to take, but you know me, I never tell one persons story to another. I am in my own world, just like you.
_Yeah I know darweesh, I trust you but this is way important. Anyways, I give myself a mission to explain the whole creation of universe and life and human being, where is it coming from, where is it going. I hired myself to do it and maybe blame it on God, anyways I know that's my mission and can't get out of it now.
_Good luck Dr Elham. Call on me if I can do anything, just like the old days when I was doing little research jobs.
_Really? Do you mean it? Do you know what are you getting in to?
There was when I realize what a big bluff I made. I was always telling others don't say what you don't mean. It may bite you but now I made the same mistake.
I smiled and didn't say anything.
He realized my hesitance and said anyways, I better go. Give me your email address.
I handed it over and hoped I never hear from him until he is done with his "Big Project"
and we said goodbye.

Introduction and purpose

This book follows a mission. It is like nothing you ever read before. My main purpose is to enlighten fellow human beings. I know I have a tremendous job and weight on my shoulders, I will try to do my best. I know how disappointment after reading a so so book could be. If you reading this book for entertainment or passing time, you can fold it now. Because I can tell you in advance, its not a comedy, doesn't amuse you with love stories or an adventure plot. I told you its something totally different that you never read or thought about it. If you are willing to give your mind and soul a great exercise and are one of those who tries to read beyond written words and try to see behind impenetrable walls, than this book is for you and I promise you won't put it down.
The question raised here has the most unusual answers, totally new ideas but the one that make sense.
No religion and religious authority would want you to read this, because the answer to God, creation, universe is answered in a bran new way, a way that makes sense in 21st century and beyond. Yet I am not trying to invent a new religion. I rather not write anything than be associated with such a crime.
And no, by no mean I am an atheist. I believe in God, BUT only in my own way, the way my heart tells me and most importantly the way it makes sense. That's what I am trying to teach you, don't believe on antibody's God but your owns, and you will be a free soul and be as close to your God than you ever imagined.
