Through Justice, I Found Inner Peace on My Journey of Overcoming Nicotine Addiction
Congress 60, the Human Revivification Society, is an independent, research-based organization founded to help drug users who have long sought to escape the trap of addiction but could not find a logical path to recovery. Our foundation rests on love, wisdom, and faith.
This NGO was founded by Mr. Hossein Dezhakam. With the help of God and higher powers, he developed a definitive method for addiction cure. Years of research led to uncovering the very nature of addiction. The DST method, together with OT (Opium Tincture) as medication, has been nothing short of a miracle for those struggling with drugs. The Congress 60 Triangle is built on three pillars: justice, knowledge, and decency—with justice at the top, showing its central importance.
Now we want to understand what justice means and how it is implemented in Congress 60. Justice is related to balance. Balance means everything being in its proper place or performing every task appropriately. The first requirement for achieving justice is knowledge and understanding, and the next step for establishing justice is decency—though it’s important not to equate decency with merely good deeds.
In other words, our good actions are divided into two categories: "good deed", which means performing a valuable and good action without considering all its aspects, and "decency", which means performing a valuable action accompanied by awareness and knowledge. Many actions have a good appearance but can turn into an anti-value act. For example, if someone on their recovery journey at Congress 60 asks to borrow money and you lend it to them, it may look like a good deed. But when you think it through, you realize that, because they may not be able to repay it, you could end up harming both them and yourself.
Congress 60 provides equal education for all, without any discrimination in sharing knowledge and awareness. Everyone receives the same education; however, how far they continue depends on each person and their performance, which may lead them to serve as a guide, a Marzban (border guard), or a Dideban (watchman). Even those who join Congress 60 without interest or purpose will leave the circle after a few months. Thus, positions are justly determined based on effort, awareness, and decency.
A person who serves with love is not the same as someone who only acts out of obligation. In Congress 60, someone who serves wholeheartedly, experiences different responsibilities, follows their guide’s instructions, joins the Sardar Legion (fundraising group), and transcribe the CDs, is not equal to someone who only sits in the legion, doesn’t transcribe the CDs, doesn’t attend the park (for exercising), is not obedient, and shows up whenever they feel like it. Everyone is a pupil, but not all are the same.
The session topics in Congress 60 are very important, and each topic leads me to listen to its corresponding CD and apply it in my own life. We should all try to implement these session topics in our daily lives. Mr. Hossein Dezhakam has always stated in his speeches, “Cure is beyond abstinence, and balance is beyond cure.” This means that for someone who achieves cure, attaining balance is also of great importance. Someone who achieves cure in Congress 60 but lacks balance should strive to bring their actions and behavior into balance as well.
If we desire God's justice to flow in our lives, we must take action ourselves to bring it about. For example, we should walk the path of values and follow principles affirmed by Universal Wisdom so that divine justice may manifest in our lives. The Almighty God, the supreme embodiment of justice in the universe, has created all human beings equal. Yet it is each person, through the power and free will granted by God, who chooses the path of their life. In other words, every individual determines justice or injustice for themselves. Ultimately, we are the ones who call forth justice or injustice upon our own existence.
I myself was once a hookah smoker and, out of ignorance, suddenly quit. Upon joining Congress 60, I realized the damage I had inflicted on myself and my children—I had always passed on my bad moods to them. Until I recognized my inner flaws, my problems couldn’t be solved; even my traveler (someone on the path of addiction cure) had relapsed several times. But just as I began the William White Journey (the nicotine recovery program)—at a time when I felt hopeless and believed life had treated me unfairly—my traveler began his journey again.This time, he succeeded in attaining liberation (from addiction) and reaching a state of true well-being.
When I undertook the nicotine journey using the DST method, it made me a strong companion, and little by little, the knots within me began to untangle. Now, I feel that my place in life is exactly where justice resides. My purpose in sharing my journey is to show that everything is in its right place. Justice is established for everyone, and it is we ourselves who must change our perspective. At the beginning of entering Congress 60, everyone is equal, in the sense that resources and services are available to all. From that point on, it is up to each person to choose: remain in darkness, or move toward liberation.
