“There is no right time for the truth,” stated Emilie du Chatelet (1706 – 1749) French mathematician and physicist.

Now, what is the use of my being the only one reading my own posts? For me what I am saying is for the whole of humanity to hear especially the Muslim world. I suggest for the blog, Three Foreign Journalists Reported Detained in Iran to be put back in public view and allowed to remain so for as long as readers respond to it hoping that it would provide food for though and particularly for hundreds of millions of Shiites who are in my view on the wrong track as I was.

Furthermore I humbly prescribe the following concepts that I myself have accepted as the saving grace:

“YHWH-GOD the Father-ALLAH can will each human being to be Christ-like instantly. The Kingdom of God is within each us. The Second Coming of a messiah and/or a savior, a redeemer, or anyone else should be interpreted as a metaphor and thus the realization that the LORD desires for the whole all of humanity – now, nearly 7,000,000,000 individuals – to become Christ-like and to “have faith the size of a mustard seed” – Mt. 17.20 – in order to transform our Spaceship Earth we are appointed guardians of to the Paradise it has the potential to become.”

"Now, what is the use of my being the only one reading my own posts?"

Because you're the only poster don't think others aren't reading your posts. Here's to the day reporters and Iranian citizens will be free, i.e. the day the IRI falls.

Finally, the whole of Christendom should consider the true nature of Christ - "Jesus son of Mary” as the Qur'an refers to Christ in a diametrically contrasting manner in an otherwise 100% patriarchal culture - as presented in the Qur'an. The result could be the Oneness of the Abrahamic faiths to match the Oneness of the LORD Almighty and the creation of a Light Hole in contrast to a Black Hole to attract the rest of humanity. This will once and for all times eliminate the artificial walls created by “religious professionals” in one form or another interfering with the direct relationship between each human being and Omnipresent God as it perceives it.

This will at last end the suffering we have experienced throughout the ages as the result of the misguided religious conflicts and illuminate the path leading to the creation of the Paradise our Spaceship Earth can be under our true guardianship.

True guardianship of our planet can perhaps prevent extinction of more than 15,000 plant and animal species of which according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature 70% are plants, 38% freshwater fish, 35% invertebrates, 30% amphibians, 28% reptiles, 21% mammals, and 12% birds as reported in the November 16 issue of Time Magazine.

Part I.

Shortly after the 1979 revolution I had the opportunity to speak with one of the civil servants at Shah's Ministry of Information functioning under a new name: The Ministry of Islamic Guidance.

"Now he said, talking about the regime change, I don't mind dying. I have lived for this day for a long time.

He was in his late 40's I believe and the comment reflected his great disillusion with the regime for whom he had been working most of his life.

Ironically, he died shortly thereafter and did not experience how his hope of a better future changed to a nightmare before long.

I dream of a day when the present regime disappears from the face of the Earth for the sake of the people of Iran more than anyone else.

I hope the entire popultion of Iran would read this post.

I was born in a devout Shiite family in Tehran. After the revolution which I initially believed in as did most of the people of Iran and after I became aware of what a great mistake we had made - this regime has proven to be far worse than the Shah's - study of religion and search for the truth beyond what I was made to believe until that time became the primary passion in my life.

The following segments is Part II.

Part I.

For myself, I have gone beyond the Abrahamic faiths without rejecting the essence thereof and one eye-opening realization in the process has been that the Shiite sect is fundamentally flawed for two basic reasons:

It is against God's justice to make spiritual growth subject to heredity - Shiite's belief that only decedents of Prophet Muhammad had the right to succeed him.

The second great felicity is that these decedents including the 12 Shiite Imams are infallible.

There is no concept that is more damaging to humanity in many respects than the concept of infallibility because it takes away one’s freedom of choice and places those falling into its trap in a stifling and deadly straightjacket.

If the people of Iran realize this, there would be such a national uprising against the present regime the likes of which has never been experienced before.

The Shiite Sect is a cult. Sunnis are closer to the truth and constitute about 85% of humanity. The acceptance of this would be the next logical step for the Shiites.

The one after that which applies to the entire Muslim world is for each individual Muslim to compare Prophet Muhammad with Christ as portrayed in the Qur'an and then take it from there.
