The Transcription of the 13th Valley CD

The Transcription of the 13th Valley CD, Part 1

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
With strength drawn from the Absolute Power of God, we begin this session.
Hello, friends. My name is Hossein, and I am a traveler and the session guardian.
(Audience responds: Hello, Hossein!)
I kindly ask everyone to observe fourteen seconds of silence to seek refuge in the Almighty and free ourselves from our greatest enemy—our own ignorance and unawareness.
(Fourteen seconds of silence observed)
Thank you, friends. I now request our esteemed secretary to provide a summary of the previous session and announce today’s agenda.

(Audience responds: Hello, Neda!)
In the name of the Absolute Power of God, today the fourteenth session of the twenty-first round, dated April, 15th, 2012 is held with the agenda “the first part of the Thirteenth Valley” from the book “14 valleys for Recovery” written in 2012. The session, under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Dezhakam and with myself as the secretary, officially started at 9:00 a.m.
(Audience applauds)
Thank you!

Hello, friends. My name is Hossein, and I am a traveler.
(Audience responds: Hello, Hossein!)
All our actions in life serve as lessons and tests. Last session, when we discussed the first part of the Thirteenth valley, we handed the recording device to Mr. Amir from the publications department. But when we checked later, it turned out that nothing had been recorded—complete silence.
Now, there are different ways to react to this situation. The first approach is to look for someone to blame—who was responsible for the recording failure? But such incidents are inevitable, and honestly, no one is at fault. We've recorded sessions a hundred, even a thousand times, and yet, due to some minor, unexpected issue, the recorded CD didn’t work.
Another way to look at this issue is to accept that everything happens for a reason. We did everything correctly, but maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Perhaps there was wisdom behind it. There's no need for anger, arguments, or frustration. No one was negligent; it just happened.
The best response is to acknowledge that maybe this was predestined [by God]. Maybe it’s actually beneficial to us that the recording didn’t work. Perhaps it means I need to go over this lesson again. And what’s the solution? The only choice is to start over and discuss the topic again. There's no other way. No matter how much we analyze it, there's no alternative.
Yes, we could try recording on mobile phones, but the sound quality wouldn’t be good enough. So, we’ll go ahead and revisit the first part of the Thirteenth Valley.
It is important to record all these sessions is that this platform is the only place where I can communicate directly with all members of Congress 60, both in Tehran and other cities.
The class is relatively empty today, we have enough time, there are no announcements or songs, and since it’s early in the morning, I can take this opportunity to speak with all of you and provide the necessary lessons.
The Thirteenth Valley is titled:
“The End of Every Point is the Beginning of Another Line.”
Truly, the Fourteen Valleys teach us the way of life. They never command us to do or not do something directly. Instead, they present a method, a system—we must decide and discover the path ourselves. They provide us with the necessary tools, and if we truly pay attention to them, we can attain peace, tranquility, and serenity. When we reach that state of inner peace, we become ready to receive.
“The end of every point is the beginning of another line.” Every time one point ends, another begins. This Valley is at work throughout existence—it never stops. We cannot determine when eternity began or when it will end. From our perspective, with our means of measurement, eternity does not have a definite start or end. We cannot say eternity lasted for four billion or twenty billion years. We can say our galaxy formed fourteen billion years ago and may cease to exist in another fourteen billion years, but we cannot claim that existence itself started at that point. There may have been other things [existences] before it.
A key point emphasized here is the power of the pen.
“From the pen, great strides flow throughout the universe, like streams merging to form roaring rivers that carry knowledge and wisdom to all of humanity. These forces shape human aspirations and desires, transforming thoughts into images and images into the foundations of truth. This foundation is a structure—while the ignorant seek to destroy it, the wise are committed to its construction. Yet, the end of every point is always the beginning of another line. And now, a new line begins, as streams flow together, converging at a single point to create a rich and fertile bed that will ultimately lead to the vast ocean. From there, by divine command, they will be sent forth to places where the divine command calls, revealing once again the splendor of the Supreme Power—whether we call it Allah, Ahura Mazda, or God. But this power does not command war; rather, it commands love to be given to all those who carry the light within them. And this has neither a beginning nor an end—it flows from the heavens to the earth and from the earth to the infinite beyond.”
Here, the discussion revolves around the Pen—all the Fourteen Valleys and some of my writings shape humans’ aims and desires, they form humans’ requests and thoughts. The pen is truly invaluable. The 13th valley asserts that the Pen’s powerful strides reach across the entire universe. Anything that is written remains—it is preserved, it takes form, it becomes part of existence. Without it, words vanish into thin air.
Many people have spoken many words, but they are lost to time. Meanwhile, Cyrus the Great’s decrees, etched into clay tablets, have endured for thousands of years. The inscriptions and symbols carved into ancient stones still exist today. They have lasted.
The same applies today—the written word can have an immense impact and bring about great change. All great thinkers, those who wielded the power of the pen, have left behind their wisdom, making them eternal. It is as if they are still present among us—Hafez, Ferdowsi, Rumi. They live on through their words.
Those who left no written legacy have faded into obscurity; they no longer exist in any meaningful way. The pen is so valuable that even in our holy scripture, the holy Quran, there is an entire Surah, chapter, named “The Pen.”
The pen is so valuable that our holy book has sworn an oath by it.
There has been much discussion about divine scriptures and religions in the holy Quran. However, throughout history, religions have sometimes been misused—this is undeniable. The Crusades, the Inquisitions led by Christian clerics are well-documented, or during the Sassanid era, Zoroastrian priests had restricted education and learning to certain classes, and religious authorities had seized the people’s wealth. A glance at history reveals the realities of those periods.
However, when it comes to our own holy book, it is beyond dispute. It cannot be dismissed and rejected with noise, nonsense and rhetoric. Fourteen centuries have passed, and yet we have not fully grasped its teachings.
Now, let’s talk about Surah Al-Qalam (The Pen).
The first verse of Surah Qalam, the Pen, reads “Nun and By the Pen and what they inscribe...”
One can interpret this verse this way: a joke can be made on the very first word of this verse, “Nun”, and its homonym in Persian “naan” pronounced /nu:n/, meaning bread.
In this way, Qalam itself brings lots of nun /nu:n/ to some people, [if Qalam writes something in favor of someone], it can bring money and riches to one’s life.
Indeed, the way a pen moves can change a person’s fate—one stroke of Qalam can bring prosperity, while another can lead to ruin [some writings lead to prosperity, while others lead a person to death]. One interpretation of this “Nun and By the Pen” this way. And a fun can be made, although one cannot play joke on this book, otherwise they may find themselves in great trouble.
Let me share a few points before returning to our main discussion, as this all started with the pen, and the pen holds immense value.
In verse 20 of Surah Yunus, it is stated:
“They say why has no miracle come to him [prophet Mohammad] from his Lord?”
“Tell them, the future belongs to God, so wait, and I too shall wait with you.”
Here, the Quran instructs the Prophet to tell the people: “you should wait and I shall wait too.” They asked prophet Mohammad why no miracle has been sent to you, and the prophet answers, you should wait, the future, belongs to God.”
Since 1974, the miracle of the Quran has been mathematically unveiled. The miracle of the holy Quran is the numbers and secrets of numbers in the Quran, because every letter of this Book, point by point, is dictated from another world or dimension beyond our own. This book is so extraordinary that the Seven Wonders of the World pale in comparison. The Pyramids of Egypt and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, are not as astonishing as this book.
You should consider this point that fourteen centuries ago, the [modern] alphabet as we know it did not exist.  I do not know in which century, people started using the modern alphabets. For instance, in those times, if they wanted to say A, they used Alef, Alef means one. The system was based on “Abjad” notation, [An abjad is a numeral writing system in which only consonants are represented]. For example:
• Alif (ا) was considered 1,
• Be (ب) was considered 2,
• Jeem (ج) was considered 3,
• Dal (د) was considered 4,
• And the rest were named this way.
Now, what is the common multiple or the mathematical key to the Quran? The number 19.
Some may monopolize this number 19, but that is not important, it is ineffective—it does not change the reality. The holy Quran is based on the number 19.
• 29 Surahs (chapters) of the holy Quran start with unique letter combinations known as “disjointed letters” or “Muqatta” which are meaningless. The number of these words in the holy Quran is 14, The Quran has 114 chapters (which is 19 × 6).
For example:
• The letter Ṣād (ص) may appear three times at the beginning of different chapters.
• The letter Nun (ن) may appear twice.
• Some Surahs start with Alif, Lam, Meem (أَلِف لَام میم), some Surahs start with Alif, Lam, Ra (أَلِف لَام رَاء), or we have a Surah starting with Ya and Sin (یس).
In total, they are 14 combinations of them. There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet, and exactly 14 of them appear in these unique letter combinations—half of the alphabet, the sets of alphabets like Alif, Lam, Ra, Ya, Sin, Sad, if you calculate them totally, they never exceed these 14 letters. Then, we have 29 Surahs starting with 14 combinations of 14 letters.
For centuries, Islamic scholars have debated their meaning. Some have suggested that these letters are a secret code between God and the Prophet, known only to him and certain spiritual figures. Other interpreters say something else, some of them have theorized meanings such as:
• Alif (ا) stands for Allah,
• Lam (ل) stands for Jibreel (Gabriel),
• Meem (م) stands for Mohammad.
These interpreters say that Alif, Lam, Mim stand for Allah, Mohammad and Jibreel (Gabriel). It stands for a triangle that Allah sends his messages to Gabriel and Gabriel sends them to Mohammad and then the Holy Quran was written.
But later on, it was revealed that even if such interpretations hold truth, that we do not deny, because we are not expert in them; however, the holy Quran is based on mathematical basis, some evidence showed that all of Quran is based on mathematics, it is just the same as music.
But later it became clear that the holy Quran follows an accurate mathematical basis. We don't deny other interpretations because it's not our area of expertise. But when we see these identified mathematical multiples, we are persuaded that everything works this way. It's like music – you have a melody in 6/8 time, and it stays in 6/8 from beginning to end. Or a waltz, which is in 3/4 time, everything follows that 3/4 rhythm, or 4/4, or whatever it is, the rhythm stays consistent. Similarly, the holy Quran is based on the multiple of the number 19. The number 19 is significant because the phrase “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim” (:بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم in the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) has 19 letters. If you count the letters of  بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم “”  individually, you reach 19 letters.
For those who do not know mathematics, it is not something difficult to understand “Common Multiple”, for example, when we say a number is “multiple of 2,” it means that this number can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. So 4 divided by 2 is 2, 6 divided by 2 is 3, 50 divided by 2 is 25, 100 divided by 2 is 50—there’s no fraction or remainder. This applies to multiples of 3 too. For instance, 6 divided by 3 is 2, 9 divided by 3 is 3, 30 divided by 3 is 10, and 3000 divided by 3 is 1000. It means there’s no remainder.
Now, if we divide the total number of Surahs (114) by 19, we get 6. If you multiply 20 by 6 you will get 120, you subtract six from 120, you we get 114. But here’s the interesting part: one of those 114 Surahs does not start with “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.” Surah 9 is the only one that does not start with it. But to maintain the rhythm, Surah 27 has two “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim” phrases. These are minor details I’m mentioning. Between Surah 9, where “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim” is absent, and Surah 27, where it’s repeated twice, we still see that the number of Surahs is 19. If you list them –Surah 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 – you will see that there are 19 Surahs in between Surah number 9 and 27.
Let's take a look at Surah Al-Qalam (The Pen), which we were discussing earlier. In this Surah, the Arabic letter “ن” (noon) appears 133 times. The letter “ن” is pronounced /nu:n/, and interestingly, when you divide 133 by 19, the result is exactly 7.
In Arabic, “ن” is written using three letters: ن (noon), و (waw), and ن (noon). When counting its occurrences, both the first and last /n/ sounds are taken into account. If we only considered a single "noon" sound, the total would be 132, which wouldn’t be divisible by 19. So, the total 133 instances of "noon" in Surah Al-Qalam form a multiple of 19, highlighting a fascinating numerical pattern in the Quran.
This is significant because, in the mathematical structure of the Qur'an, things are arranged in such a way that if you change or alter something—whether it’s adding or subtracting—then the whole [mathematic] system will break down. These numbers and letters aren't there just for decoration or mystery; they’re there to ensure that the system works as intended. Changing them would immediately disrupt the balance, it is as if these mathematical patterns is guarding the holy Quran.
There are some words [muqatta'at] placed at the beginning of some Surahs, if you change them, the system will be disrupted. It wasn't done for aesthetics or as a puzzle. It was done so that if you change it, whether you add or remove a verse, it immediately shows what happens. We come to Surah Qaf; there were a few interesting points that I thought I had to share with you. We have two Surahs that start with “Qaf قاف,” and the letter “Qaf” is in them.
To be continued

Now, let’s talk about Surah Qaf (ق) [the fiftieth sura of the holy Qur'an]. There are some interesting points here that I want to share with you. We have two Surahs that begin with the letter “Qaf”—Surah 42 and Surah 50. I’m not a religious scholar, but I want to share these points because they’re interesting, and I think it’s important for some of you to know about them. Surah 42 and Surah 50 both begin with “Qaf.” Each of these Surahs contains 57 instances of the letter “Qaf.”
Now, if you divide 57 by 19, what do you get? You get 3. If you multiply 3 by 19, you get 57, so it fits perfectly. This shows that “Qaf” is like a representative of the Qur'an itself. If you add up the instances of “Qaf” from Surah 42 and Surah 50, you get a total of 114 instances of “Qaf.” The total number of Surahs in the Qur'an is also 114.
Additionally, Surah Qaf, starts with ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ, the word “Majid” (Glorious) is used to describe the Qur'an. If we look at the numerical values of the letters in “Majid” using the Abjad system (the traditional Arabic numerology), we get the following: “Meem” (م) is 40, “Jeem” (ج) is 3, “Ya” (ي) is 10, and “Dal” (د) is 4. If you add those values together (40 + 3 + 10 + 4), you get 57, which is once again a multiple of 19.
Surah 42 has 53 verses. If you add 42 and 53, you get 95. Surah 50 has 45 verses, and if you add 50 and 45, you also get 95. Again, the sum of the surah number and the number of verses is the same. In the Qur'an, the people who rejected Prophet Lot are referred to as “the people of Lot” in 13 places. In Surah 50, however, to address these people, the term “Lot” isn't used. Instead, the term “brothers” (اخوان) is used. The term “brothers” replaces “Lot,” and this is significant. If the word “Lot” had been used again, it would have caused an issue [the numbering system would be disrupted].
I wanted to give a brief glimpse into some of these points, and there are many more like this in the book. If time allows, I might share more intricate details with you later. The important point is that everything in the Qur'an is calculated precisely. If we attempt to change it, distort it, or alter it in any way, the system itself will immediately reveal the disruption in its patterns.
While the inhabitants of the heavens were thanking and bidding farewell to the successor, whispers began in another corner. One of the inhabitants said, “I still have a question.” Another said, “I have a question.” The successor replied, “Our time is up. I cannot speak unless I am granted permission by the Absolute Power.” The meaning of this part is clear. The Absolute Power asserts: “Use the image to answer their question, because after this, the covenant will be made.”
God says: Alright, explain well, but explain through the image. As I mentioned before that opening fingers and seeing the image play the role of PowerPoint slides. The successor, while gesturing with his fingers in the shape of V “I am ready to respond.”
The inhabitants asked, “You said that to transform, small changes need to be made gradually. For example, an alcoholic who wants to become healthy and righteous must undergo changes in their physiology, thoughts and contemplation, at all levels. Without such changes, transformation cannot happen. But you didn’t explain the difference between Transformation and Release. You said the alcoholic needs to change, but how does this change take place? They say we don’t understand where the change happens, and where the transformation or release begins. Can you clarify with an example?”
The successor responded, “You are right, and correct. But note that every stage has an end, and another begins. The end of one point is the beginning of another. When Change is complete, Transformation begins. When Transformation is complete, Release begins. And so on, from one to the next. The end of one point is the beginning of the next line.”
Then the successor opened his right hand with two fingers in the shape of a V and said to the inhabitants, “Look between my fingers, and I will clarify the topic with an image.”
Image Description:
The image depicts a person standing beside a well, lowering an empty bucket into it using a rope and a pulley. The goal is to fetch water from the well by filling the bucket and pulling it back up.
End of Image Description.

The image itself is very brief and to the point. But if someone wanted to elaborate, they could write pages—seven, twenty, or even more—because explaining something in detail requires addressing many aspects. For example, what was the pulley made of? What was the bucket made of? What kind of rope was used? Where was this well located? Was it in a desert? A field? Was the person fetching the water young or old?
Sometimes, explanations get so lengthy and full of side details that the core message gets lost. Other times, the information is condensed into just a few words, almost like a telegraph message.
The Successor continues, three key phases are illustrated in this image: Change, Transformation, and Release.
The first stage is Change.
What is the change stage? It’s the gradual process where the bucket, attached to the rope, slowly moves toward the water. We can see change in the decreasing distance between the bucket and the water—until the moment the bucket finally touches the water.
In essence, change happens gradually. We lower the bucket and bit by bit it reaches the water. The same concept applies to many things in life: a patient recovering from illness does so little by little; literacy progresses step by step; in any learning process, change happens incrementally.
The second stage is Transformation.
The Transformation stage is the moment when the empty bucket, suddenly floats in the water, and it fills up. The gradual Change continues until, in a single moment, transformation happens: the empty bucket becomes a full one.
Similarly, a patient experiences gradual recovery, but at some point, they suddenly feel well. A student learns bit by bit, but then one day, they become literate. A person studies for years, and then one day, they graduate and receive a diploma.
The third stage is the Release.
This is when the full bucket is lifted out of the well with the help of the pulley.
Now, you can apply these phases to countless situations in life. There are endless examples of change, transformation, and release.
But then, a question arises: What comes after release? Is there another stage beyond this?
Once we have gone through change, transformation, and release—does the journey end there? The answer is NO.
Every ending is the beginning of something new. This cycle continues indefinitely. When one story closes, another opens. When one traveler reaches their destination, another sets off on a new journey. When a Hallaj [Hallaj is a Persian mystic, poet, and teacher of Sufism] is crucified, another Hallaj emerges, just like seedlings pushing through the soil.
This is the unceasing command of the Absolute Power—nothing ever truly stops, no creatures fall asleep in any developmental stages of their life. Even in moments of apparent stillness, they are gathering strength from their Origins, to find the path better and to obey the command better. And this is not just a story.

This passage suggests that no being, at any stage of its development, ever truly “sleeps.” Even if it appears to be asleep, it is actually in the process of receiving strength and power from its source or origins to find its way more clearly and carry out its given command more effectively. In other words, nothing in nature is done without purpose. Even sickness, for example, is not pointless. If you become ill, it is not pointless. The same goes for periods of disability — they aren't pointless either.
If someone falls into a deep coma or becomes seriously ill, these conditions are not without meaning. I read the text again.
No being—absolutely no being—ever truly falls asleep at any stage of its evolution. Even if it appears to be asleep, it is actually drawing strength and energy from its source and origins, preparing to find its way more clearly and carry out its given command more effectively. This is not just a story or a metaphor, [it is the truth].
Even a thief, even someone who is sick, even those facing struggles and hardships, are not erased, discarded, or rendered useless. These difficulties are beneficial to them to find the way more clearly. In other words, in the existence, there is no such thing as a curse. Whatever sufferings we are faced with are not a curse, these sufferings are set [in front of us] so that we can find our way better. Even when suffering comes our way, though it is real and painful, it is not a curse—its depth holds something greater.
If we desire something and God does not give it to us [or it does not come to us], there is wisdom behind it. God is not cruel, unjust, or sadist, nor does He take pleasure in causing pain. He does not favor some and abandon others. We believe in His justice. Even if you do not believe in God, you can recognize that there is a Force governing this existence, and that Force is just. So when we face challenges, problems, or obstacles, it does not mean that we are forgotten or disregarded, there is always a reason behind them.
For example, if someone does not marry or an opportunity for marriage does not arise, it is not because they have been forgotten or excluded. It is part of their experience, meant for them to acquire knowledge, helping them find their way more clearly in life. This is beneficial to them. This is not something to see as a curse, questioning, “Why did this happen to me?” or “Why am I in this situation?”
This is a crucial understanding: no being ever truly falls asleep in its evolution. Even in moments that seem like rest or stagnation, it is actually regaining strength from its source, to find its way with greater clarity and carry out its given command more effectively. And this is not just a story [it is the truth].

For all the processes of Change, Transformation,  and Release, we must gain awareness and knowledge. Without knowledge and experience, it’s impossible to create real change or transformation. Even if you spend a hundred years trying to bring about changes without understanding or knowledge, nothing will happen.
For example, if you dig a well in the Lut Desert, [a desert located in Kerman and Sistan-Baluchestan, Iran], no matter how deep you go, you won’t reach water because there’s no water in the desert. Similarly, when it comes to illness, if you don’t fully understand the disease, you cannot bring about cure and health. Even if you gather hundreds of advanced medical doctors from the top universities like Oxford or Harvard, without knowing the disease and understanding it deeply, you won’t be able to make meaningful changes or achieve real healing.
This applies to addiction as well. If addiction isn’t fully understood, the changes made won’t result in healing. People may stop using drugs for a while, but if the underlying issues aren’t addressed, they won’t feel well — they might just manage to stop using drugs, but their addiction is not healed. Many illnesses are the same. To cure a disease, you must know the starting point or where you are, you have to beware of the destination or where you are going to and you have to know the goal or objective, so that you can have Change, Transformation and Release. The example of this issue is like sending your child to school, if they are not taught, they will learn nothing. I mean when you want to cure a disease, first you have to scientifically discover the depth of the disease, you have to know what this disease is, how it works and which part of the body has been destroyed so that you can reconstruct it. Without this understanding, any effort to address it is like a blind person searching for a needle in a haystack — you might try, but you won’t succeed.
Right now, much of what is done in the field of addiction treatment is just about stopping the progression of the disease, their masterpiece is merely preventing the progression of the disease, so that the disease’s progression is halted. However, this is completely different from curing a disease. While this Western concept of “harm reduction” is valuable, true healing requires more than just halting the disease — it requires addressing the root causes and making the necessary transformations. Just as nothing in life stays static, everything is always in motion, except for truth and the laws of the universe, which remain constant, like the laws of physics or mathematics.
Similarly, for us, after Release (from a certain stage or state), there are other stages to go through, when a Yawm al-Fasl, (یوم الفصل) ends, another stage begins, and the process continues again and again. This holds true for all of us, when we are released from a stage, another phase begins. The inhabitants ask, “What is Yawm al-Fasl?” The successor responds, “Yawm al-Fasl means the Day of Separation, or the moment of transition. It’s when we move from one stage to another. It’s like when a bucket is drawn from the well, or when a bucket that was empty is filled with water, or when the amniotic sac breaks and a baby is born or the moment when a person dies and transitions to another stage, or when someone graduates, or gets married, or overcomes addiction, divorces, recovers, enters or leaves prison, or gets hired. Whenever a point is reached and a phase ends, the moment of Yawm al-Fasl occurs, and a new line or stage starts.

Anyway, whenever we reach the end of a phase, there is a moment called Yawm al-Fasl (یوم الفصل)—the Day of Separation—which then marks the end of one phase and beginning of another phase. Everything has its Yawm al-Fasl. Is there anything that does not have ending? Probably the only thing without a Yawm al-Fasl is God Himself. But even then, He knows His own nature, while I do not. Perhaps He, too, moves into another stage in a way [beyond our understanding].
Yawm al-Fasl is the moment we separate from something because everything is in motion—nothing remains fixed. Some separations happen gradually, bit by bit; others occur suddenly, in one defining moment. You are born—that is a Yawm al-Fasl. You go to university—that is another. And one day, you leave this world—that is the final Yawm al-Fasl.
“Yawm” (یوم) means “day,” and “Fasl” (فصل) means “separation.”
The inhabitants ask, “When and how will the Earth’s Yawm al-Fasl happen?”
They ask, “When is the Earth's Yawm al-Fasl? Look at the image.”
The Successor opens two of his fingers within which an image appears. Then, he asks the inhabitants to look at the image to see when the Day of Separation is for the earth. The image shows:
• The Sun collapses into itself.
• The stars darken.
• The sky is torn apart.
• Mountains crumble and move.
• The seas overflow.
• The Earth, shaken by a violent quake, spills out everything buried within it.
• And the image ends. The image shows the end of the earth. The Sun collapses into itself.
• The stars darken.
• The sky is torn apart, everything is destroyed:

As mentioned in the verse [Surah Az-Zalzalah, the first verse]: “When the earth is shaken with its final tremor.”
The successor continues:
“At that moment, every person will know what they have prepared in advance. That is the Yawm al-Fasl of the Earth. On that day, everyone will see what they have accumulated—their life’s record, just like a student’s academic transcript, which shows what the students have learned or What they have earned. When we test the students of our Congress 60 [Congress 60’s Guidance Exam], we see exactly what each one has prepared beforehand, we see what they have learned in these two or three years? We see how they have acquired to become a guide, or we see what guides themselves have learned during their serving period in Congress 60. This is the essence and meaning of what has been prepared in advance.
The inhabitants ask:
“Before the initial seed of this material world was planted, was there any other creation?” Since it was mentioned that everything has a Yawm al-Fasl (یوم الفصل), they ask then whether this has happened before. Have previous worlds also ended, so that this material world came into existence?
The Successor replies:
“Only the Absolute Power knows, but I think there is stage from the beginning—from the moment the first seed of existence was planted until the complete dissolution of the material world, which is called a Recurring Cycle. From the very first moment when galaxies formed, from the start of Big Bang, to the eventual destruction of all things, this entire process is a single period, a cycle. There may have been millions of such cycles before us, and there will be more to come.
In other words, the worlds of creation are like numbers—just as after each number, another number follows, so do worlds emerge and vanish, one after another. Perhaps there have already been millions upon millions of Big Bangs before this one. Who knows? Only God knows.
The inhabitants then ask:
Does an individual’s life also follow the laws of numbers? Does human existence—birth and death—progress like a sequence, just like numbers?
The Successor responds:
“Yes. Every bit of information in existence is preserved within every particle and every living being. The universe is structured in such a way that nothing can ever be truly removed from it. You might be able to destroy your physical body, but you will still exist in some form. No matter what you do [to destroy your body], you always exist.

Imagine sealing all the doors and windows of this room. We wouldn’t be able to remove anything from the room. We could hide things under the carpet, burn them, or even break them apart, but we could never truly make them disappear. Nothing in existence can ever be erased.
There are some things we simply cannot break. You cannot break [destroy] sound. You cannot break [destroy] light. Why? Because they are enduring. Existence itself is the same way—you cannot remove anything from it. The universe values itself.
I have said before: the existence is truly content, with the simplest elements and the most basic movements, it creates the most intricate and complex forms. Consider how it changes a single peach seed in the soil to a tree, blooming with very beautiful flowers, bearing fruit—producing something far greater than itself.
Nothing in existence is ever truly destroyed. Nothing disappears; it only transforms into another form.
If the universe has given rise to an Albert Einstein, it does not simply erase him, and make him die. If it has created a figure like Ali ibn Abi Talib, it does not discard him. Instead, it preserves Him—both in the highest realms and in the lower ones. This means that death does not truly exist, no creature is faced with death. There is no death [end], there is only transformation from one form to another. Why? Because the universe seeks to preserve its knowledge.
Think about it: if you create something, if you have a child, you never erase them. The universe operates the same way. It has an archive—the Universal Preserved Tablet—every creature has an archive. Every entity, every particle of existence is a cell of that grand archive.
All knowledge, all awareness—whether positive or negative, constructive or destructive—is preserved. Since the universe values these experiences, it does not allow them to be lost.
Imagine if you were in God’s place. Would you allow all the accumulated wisdom of humanity to vanish? Someone has mastered chemistry, another physics, another mathematics, another medicine, another astronomy—would you let all of that simply fade away? After a lifetime of learning and experience, would you say, it’s over, let it all go and vanish?
The universe is far too precise, far too deliberate, to allow such a loss.
Since existence values knowledge and experience, it never allows the creatures to be destroyed. That is why any being that dies will awaken elsewhere and continue its journey. If it dies there as well, it will emerge once again from another opening—always carrying the same essence it had before.
The inhabitants ask:
“If someone dies as an alcoholic or an addict, will they wake up in the next world still addicted?”
The successor responds:
If I were to give a short answer—unfortunately, yes. Addiction is not just a physical condition; it affects the soul and psyche as well. So, someone who dies an addict will awaken in the next world in the same state.
The real issue is that if we try to escape our struggles and illnesses through suicide, we will not succeed, whether fortunately or unfortunately; because we will find ourselves facing the same problems in the next world, unchanged.
I don’t have time to fully explain this right now, but without a doubt, whenever the commands of the Absolute Power are ignored and life’s lessons are left unlearned, disorder takes over. This leads to confusion and suffering in human lives. Most of humanity’s pain comes from knowledge that has yet to be discovered. When divine laws are not followed, chaos emerges.
Look at the Christians—they are believers in God, they have a holy book, the Gospel. Even in the Quran, Jesus is mentioned extensively, sometimes even more than the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran describes Mary’s story in detail, her miraculous childbirth—far more than it discusses Muhammad’s life. Likewise, Moses is spoken of more than Jesus. All these figures originate from the same divine source.
But what happens when divine commands are violated? Wars break out—like the Crusades, full of bloodshed, plunder, and destruction. I am not saying whose fault it was—whether one side or the other—but when divine laws are broken, chaos takes over. The goal was never truly about Jesus or Islam. It was about power, conquest, seizing lands, taking wealth. When order is replaced by chaos, distress comes about.
The same thing happens today. Whenever a judge takes a bribe, order collapses into disorder. When a shepherd turns into a wolf, disorder prevails. When a policeman becomes a thief, order changes into disorder and chaos.
That is what divine commands are about—preserving order in existence.
Let me know what the commands of the Absolute Power are that some people claim that religion is the opiate of masses and societies. Go read His books and see what God has really said. Many actions are carried out in His name, yet He has no involvement in them at all. What does He actually command? Do not steal, do not take bribes, do not lie, do not corrupt, love people. That’s all. There is nothing more than this.
When these basic principles are violated, disorder takes over, leading to confusion and suffering. Most of humanity’s pain comes from undiscovered knowledge. What happens if we, out of ignorance, cover the light with a veil and assume everything is dark. No one knows what happens when everything is born in this darkness. Out of ignorance, by covering the light with a veil I mean when we merely reject everything; this means we reject things without having knowledge. All humanity’s pain comes from undiscovered knowledge and in addition to this, the other source of suffering is the so-called [seemingly] wise fools. These are the people who seem knowledgeable. Because of wise fools humanity is in great distress and suffering.
Take doctors, for example—do not think that I always criticize them, but consider this: A doctor knows a patient has terminal cancer, that surgery won’t save them, but for the sake of making thirty million tomans, he still tells them, “You must undergo a surgery.” This is a wise fool.
Or look at a hospital shareholder who knows that a particular treatment is useless, yet still encourages patients to go through with it [just to fill his pockets].
Consider this story told by one of the Congress 60 members:
A weight-loss specialist told someone, “If you want to lose weight, I will cut out half of your stomach. That way, you’ll eat less and slim down.”

The poor guy, not knowing any better, agreed. He paid fourteen or fifteen million tomans for the surgery. Then what happened? Infection. The stitches leaked. His stomach swelled up.
What did the doctors say? “No problem, we’ll fix it. Go under anesthesia again.” Another surgery is needed—twenty or thirty million more. Another night in the hospital—another million will be gone.
These are the wise fools who people trust in, believing them to be intelligent and knowledgeable; however, they only lead people into ruin. These wise fools change and twist the God’s words.  There exist lots of these wise fools—in every field. And as you can see, we have plenty of such people around us, and they cause significant harm—not just to individuals but to humanity as a whole.
These so-called “wise” but truly ignorant people exist in all religions. For example, a child is taken to church for a religious visit, but instead of a spiritual experience, they end up being abused. There are well-documented cases, and one of the major scandals that led to the Pope being replaced was exactly because of these issues.
Now, I am in a position where I can only criticize these individuals—criticizing anyone else is not really an option for me! No offense to anyone! But the reality is, even if there are thousands of good priests, it only takes a couple of bad ones to ruin the reputation of the entire group. This happens in every field. The key is to minimize these cases because of trust.
Think about it—you entrust your child to someone, your spouse to someone, even your belongings to someone. You trust people. But what if the person you trust, the one who is supposed to protect, turns out to be the real threat? It’s like giving your sheep to a shepherd, only to find out that the shepherd is actually a wolf in disguise.
If out of ignorance, we cover light with a veil, I mean if we divert the laws saying things like, “Oh, the words in the holy Quran are not God’s words but Arabs’, or Salman the Persian and Muhammad’s own words, they themselves made up these books together, copied texts from the Torah and the Bible, and presented them as divine revelations.” All of these words are a veil disguising the light [the truth].
I've only shared a little bit of the Holy Quran’s miracle [its numerical system], but there are thousands of other details. And if time allows, I will explain them gradually.
If we assume that everything is dark, that there is no light, then we can only describe the world from the perspective of that darkness. But what would happen if we convinced ourselves that everything is born only from the realm of shadows? Every problem, every locked box, has a key, a solution. If we start searching, we will find the way forward. We must seek knowledge and understand that “the most beautiful endeavor is the exploration of science”—uncovering undiscovered truths to reduce human suffering.
To lessen human suffering, every locked safe has a key, every issue has a solution—a problem won’t just magically resolve itself. We need to actively search for the right approach, and once we find the way, once we find the key, we will succeed.
But instead of searching for the key, some prefer to blow up the safe with TNT, hoping to force it open. The problem is, this method doesn’t just open the safe—it destroys everything inside it as well. The same applies to some modern approaches to solving certain medical treatments. Instead of carefully finding a solution, they blast through the issue with brute force [causing more harm than good].
The Inhabitants: You spoke of alcohol, drugs, and other destructive behaviors that people engage in. You also said that every ending is the beginning of a new path. Now, we wish to witness a glimpse of the consequences of indulging in these destructive actions, though we already have some idea of what to expect.
The Successor: Very well. (He spreads his fingers in a “V” shape and says) Look:
A vision unfolds. The sky is dark and ominous. Thunder roars, shaking the hearts of humankind. The heavens have gone deaf—it cannot hear the cries and wails of suffering souls. The gates of the sky are locked. The divine inspiration of the Supreme Power is obstructed. Meanwhile, the disciples of Satan, like laughing hyenas, revel in chaos.
“Look at the children of man!” they jeer.
Dark storm clouds, thick with the weight of anti-values and sin, drugs, and alcohol, clash violently with humans, birthing terrifying lightning bolts. A raging inferno—a fire so intense. Lightning strikes, and men, women, boys, girls, and the elderly fall to the ground, and their bodies and souls get injured.
Torrential floods rage through cities, swallowing homes and families whole, dragging them into the abyss of destruction. The echoes of malevolent laughter of the destructive and inhibitive forces fill the sky.
And in the midst of all this devastation, families gather over the graves of their loved ones. In complete silence, they scream within themselves, crying out [a single, heartbreaking] question:
“Why?!!”
The Successor lowers his hand and continues:
“This is the story of a shepherd who has lost his lambs, and those lambs have fallen into the hands of wolves. And if the melody of the flute is not heard, more wolves will come. Do you know why? Because even those who play the flute have stuffed their instruments with chaff, silencing their sound. The burden of many sins lingers within the hollow of their flutes.”
Once again, he raises two fingers in a V shape and declares:
“Look—every ending is the beginning of a new path.”
The Successor continues:
“This is the story of a shepherd who has lost his lambs.
The story of mankind, in some ways, is the story of a shepherd who has lost his flock.
The lambs have fallen into the hands of wolves,
And the flute players have stuffed their flutes with chaff.
This is the story of a shepherd who has lost his lambs,
And the lambs have been taken by the wolves.
If the melody of the flute is not heard, the number of wolves will only grow.
Do you know why?
Because even those who were meant to play the flute have clogged their instruments with chaff, silencing their sound.
And so, the weight of past sins lingers within their flutes.
They care only about their bread and meat, their water, their quiet and undisturbed lives.”
And then—
A sudden spark from the vast heavens, like a mighty and piercing lightning bolt, rips through space, time, and existence itself. It cuts through all fortresses, barricades, and strongholds erected by the destructive and inhibitive forces. The spark plunges into the very core of the black abyss, sinking deep into the heart of darkness.
Then—another spark. And another. The second and third bolts of light strike the black void. And suddenly—
The darkness begins to turn.
It stirs from its heavy slumber. Slowly, as if awakening from an eternal night, it turns towards the source of light. Tears begin to flow from its eyes. It starts to murmur softly, then louder, and louder, until its voice resounds:
“O Lord, the sea, the sky, and the plains are filled with celestial dancers [snow], and my restless soul longs for freedom—not for mere escape, but for the embrace of the Beloved. O Lord, I worship none but You, I praise none but You—for this great awakening, I give thanks, thanks, thanks.”
And then, it begins to move—removing the last remnants of darkness from themselves.
At that moment, the Dafs begin to softly play and the sound of the trumpet is heard.
And the once-darkened soul, now radiant and pure, begins to dance.
The celestial dancers spin and twirl around it in joyous celebration.
The pen is commanded to write, and the bright white point, along with the celestial dancers, spins, adding new rays of light and transferring what they have to the surrounding dark and shadowy points. These too are transformed, becoming bright and radiant, and all of them, in their white garments, continue Sama dancing, crossing the borders of earth and heavens, so that on their journey, they can share the wine they have tasted with those who are perpetually suffering, hoping to offer some healing to the wounds of the brokenhearted and help them pass through the hardships they face.
While tears flow from the eyes of some of the inhabitants, the Successor continues:
“Anyway, the game of life has been designed by the Great Architect in this way; because human beings were given complete free will to make their own choices, to learn what they do not yet know. And even when they do learn, they find that bringing the potential to action, bringing knowledge to life is a very difficult and heavy path.”
“Joseph, the lost one, will return to Canaan, do not grieve. The cottage of sorrow will one day become a garden of roses, do not mourn.”
“O sorrowful heart, things will get better, do not despair. And this restless head will find its peace, do not worry.”
“If the wheel of time does not align with our desires for two days, know that the condition of the world is not always the same. Do not grieve.” [a poem by Hafez Shirazi].
As time passes, the number of impure and weak individuals in the world diminishes, and it seems that they will be sunk in the depths of the flood that has been prepared for the pure-hearted. Silence falls.
“Well, I thank all of you for paying attention to my words. Thank you.”
