In late August, the newest book by Mr. Dezhakam, Edmond and Helga, will be unveiled. We have conducted an interview with the master of World-view, Mr. Amin Dezhakam in this regard so that we are acquainted more with this book.
Interviewer: Edmond and Helga is allowed to be published and it is published now. Would you please tell us about your feeling?
Mr. Amin: When Mr. Dezhakam was writing this book, he read it to us, but when it was published and I read it, I felt a very different sense maybe because I understood it better (in the second time). When I read it, I was happy because of its publication. This book owns special traits in it and when it was allowed to be published, it conveyed a good message.
Interviewer: Did you know the print-run of this book is over 10000 copies, and this print-run rate is unprecedented for the first edition of a play?
Mr. Amin: Yes, I know that this print-run has been unprecedented and it is an honour for us. It must be published again and again, because it is a very rich book.
Interviewer: Why did Mr. Dezhakam write it in this style? Why did he choose "play" to transfer his ideas?
Mr. Amin: Mr. Dezhakam has been writing books for many years (from 1996). He has written the book "Crossing the Zone of 60 Degrees below Zero" in 1996. Authorship is the art of verve and gusto, when an author feels he has to say something in a special style. Sometimes, his ideas are communicated in a book or in other frames. Here, the frame is "PLAY" and I think Mr. Dezhakam wanted to convey what he understood during many years of experiences. Therefore, he selected "play" as a simple, pleasing, attractive and brief style. He has designed the story in PLAY because he wanted this book to be read by all human beings. All human beings have this simplicity in themselves. I think he wanted to transfer what he understood in a very simple format.
Interviewer: I ask questions about the book because there must be some people who have not read it yet and want to read it eagerly. Edmond and Helga accepted Lucifer's proposition, who was more guiltier in this event: Edmond or Helga?
Mr. Amin: In the beginning, it seems that Helga is guiltier and the story comes to the point that Helga is claimed for all the sins. However, there is a part (in the story) when the author says that I cannot say anything about what happened. When we are aware of this fact, we can see that in the second part of the story, Edmond's role becomes bolder, and finally he confesses that "I did not protect you". In here, the man is responsible for protecting his wife and he must provide peace and security. He says: "I am blameworthy" and in this part, the story strikes balance.
Interviewer: How distant is Lucifer from us?
Mr. Amin: He is not distant from us. Because, as mentioned in the story, induction is created inside a person, then Lucifer sends the external induction and all of these processes are underway. It is not the case that we feel an induction today and then six months later, we receive another induction, because inductions are happening continuously and they are very near to us. In this story, we can comprehend the negative and positive inductions.
Interviewer: How can we distinguish the positive inductions from the negative ones?
Mr. Amin: It is clear that the negative induction insists on its words (wants). How is it possible to distinguish the positive from negative? How is it possible to understand which one is the "Spirit" and which one is the "Jinn"? The answer is that generally the negative induction insists on its request very intensively, and you can see this phenomenon in the outer world either. People who are willing to negative forces insist on their wishes so that they achieve what they want at any cost. They harass you to reach what they desire. Because, it is very important for them to achieve what they wish. But it is not the case for the positive induction. It proposes its want once or twice, but it does not insist on that. And, this is another sign. The second method used by the negative forces is that they use a GRADUAL method, step by step, they seduce you into bad actions gradually. In the story, the negative force asserts that "it is NOT forbidden to go near the river, however entering the river is forbidden". As they come near the river, it says that: "Ok, crossing the river is forbidden, BUT swimming is not forbidden there!"
Interviewer: Lucifer's triumph is "drug-abusing". However, in Congress60, we are curing addiction, therefore, are we confronting Lucifer? Are "the drugs" Lucifer's greatest weapon?
Mr. Amin: Negative forces and Lucifer promote their weapon, but their most powerful weapon which ruins human beings is "drug". Then, your answer is "YES", Lucifer's greatest weapon is different types of drugs which are called "colorful magic"
Interviewer: Which character in the story is your favorite one?
Mr. Amin: The King of the Skies.
Interviewer: Which part of the story has interested you more?
Mr. Amin: When the Jinn is going to be introduced to Edmond and Edmond accepted that the Jinn and spirit accompanied him in his travel. The Jinn starts to speak and Edmond thoughtlessly transfers to "the King of the skies" whatever the Jinn had said. The king answers with the same style, this shows that the King of the skies already knows all the tricks and this is very interesting.
Interviewer: Who can read this story? Is there any prerequisite to read and understand it? Are the World-view pamphlets or books required to understand this story? Or is this book appropriate for all the people (regardless of what they have read and known)?
Mr. Amin: I think this book needs no prerequisite, because it has been written very simply.
Interviewer: What has happened to the Congress60's members that they eagerly read books. Why are they so interested in these materials and why do they return to normal life? They are so eager to read the materials that every two months, 30000 volumes of the book are sold to the members, why?
Mr. Amin: There are two things: when a person enters darkness, his or her senses are closed. This phenomenon's consequence is that the studying per capita decreases. Those who enter darkness and whose senses are closed, will lose their ability to read anything. Gradually, they lose their interest in reading. They might spend no time reading even one book a year. We also have the opposite. One of the factors determining the goodness of a society is the community's interest in books-reading. This is a sign which shows whether people feel good or bad. One who is treated in Congress60 experiences opening in his or her senses. S/he becomes more and more interested in reading or watching movies. But this topic has one more dimension: sometimes the books or the films are not worth reading and watching. Sometime, you eagerly want to watch a movie, you go and buy tickets but the movie is not worth watching, you sit for a quarter but you leave the cinema after a while. This is the same for books. First of all, the reader must be eager to read it, and the book must be interesting enough. It must have valuable information and satisfy reader's needs. These two traits are found in Congress60's sources.
