Master Dezhakam’s speech:
Hello friends, I am Hossein a traveler, hope you are keeping well and I am fine too.
Some points to mention:
1) Those who enter the .3 cc-step on OT can come and receive their liberation from addiction, no matter how many days have passed from their entrance to the last step. Therefore, those who are on the first, second and third days of their entrance to their last step can get their liberation.
The New-comers’ guides give instructions on how to assess and arrange their drug-consumptions [heroin, ice and opium] in the first to third sessions. The New-comers’ guides have to inform the newcomers of how to consume OT and how to use syringe to measure OT.
2) When someone ruins his travel and retracts to his addiction, he must be fined 50 dollars or less than that, we do not want to badger them, this fine is like healing for them and makes them healthy. The person who retracts into addiction does not know the value of anything they have, they do not know the value of their shoes even, everyday you wear your shoes but you do not know their value, but if you do not wear shoes a day, you will find out the value of the shoes. It is not a fine, but we only want to awaken the person.
The agenda is the sixth valley, Wisdom's command, as the commander in chief, should be carried out accordingly. A wrong thing was common among the addicts that an addict had not any wisdom. When you have an empty paper, you can draw everything on it, when a container is empty, you can pour everything in it. It was common among addicts that we have incomplete wisdom, and it cannot work properly and I totally disagree with this idea and say they have very good wisdom. Do not think that all addicts are homeless, addicts are only one part of the homeless. In many foreign countries, they consume alcohol, but how many of them are afflicted with alcoholism? Many are begging around the world, how many of them are addicts? Therefore, there are many people who are addicts but not homeless. You can find the best surgeons, best physicists, best thinkers who are addicts and their problem is that they have to work in specific time. Addiction is related to old era. In the past, they used opium in the wars and the healing for the wounds was a combination of opium and alcohol [called Noosh-Daroo meaning the Best Medicine reviving people]; however, the new generations do not know what to do [the rules] and they start using opium, heroin and psychiatric drugs.
When I was young, I went to my uncle’s house, he was over 80 years old and consumed opium. He took care of his garden and dug it himself. He fathered 14 children. When I went to his garden, he prepared lots of opium for me and I started smoking. I asked him: “Don’t you smoke?” and he replied: “I will”. Then he brought out very small pieces of opium and started smoking. He taught me a great lesson: even if you want to smoke, you have to consider the amount of opium. In the past, even doing wrong had some regulations, they did not smoke all the drugs together; however, nowadays they consume opium, heroin, ice, hashish and alcohol together, then they destroy their family and everything is lost. I wan to say we did not know how to do things properly and we did not know how to smoke drugs.
You should not smoke anything at all, but if you decided to smoke anything, you have to know its rules and regulations. In the past, those hooligans who wanted to threaten people used to use knife, but they did all know how to use it [only scratch the skin] so that no serious problem was made. But now, they do not know how to use it and they simply kill people with knife and they will be executed for the crime. I do not approve these works but for everything there are some rules to respect.
Some Congress60 members have changed their job because in these jobs they had to tell lies to earn money and Congress60 members are no longer doing them.
All of us have wisdom, every time we hear two voices, the left [bad] and right [good] voices, telling us that “Do this” because this is the right path and they have their own justifications. Many things are done with these inspired voices (inspirations), but you are not aware of them. When you want to do something wrong, your wisdom tells you “Do not do that” and we do not listen to it, because the Carnal Self is so powerful that we cannot listen to the Wisdom’s Command. Wisdom does not make mistake, this is the Carnal Self that is very powerful.
The highest self in animals [the Carnal Self ] is the lowest self in human being. If human being is in their animal status of Self, only the Carnal Self orders and human obeys it and disobeys wisdom’s order, in this condition, that Self is happy with doing wrong. The Carnal Self leads us towards bad things and has not anything to do with the consequence [whether bad or good] of the act.
The next level of Self is the Blaming Self which blames us when we do something wrong and we regret doing that work. Those who enter Congeress60, are in this status. We have to go ahead and enter the Reassured Self, where everything done is correct, because it follows Wisdom’s Command. The Reassured Self itself has different levels, a person may be in this level for some traits; and in some other traits, they may be in the lower self.
God asserts that the Highest Self is the Reassured Self and Wisdom never makes a mistake. I think no one can absolutely reach the Reassured Self. In our prayers, in Congress60 we say: “Oh God, please make us familiar with the mere Light so that we approach the Wisdom’s Command and we can reach the place where we have come from.
Thank you for listening to me.
