Bio
Born in a very orthodox Shiite family on April 22, 1940 in Tehran, Iran.

Founder of the Universal Church of the LORD Almighty.

Introduction:

There are as many systems of beliefs as there are human beings on our planet because it does not matter what we call ourselves - an atheist, a Baha'i, a Buddhist, a Christian, a Hindu, a Jew, a Muslim, and so on - no two adult human beings are identical in regard to the totality of their existence. This has always been true and shall always remain so.

The Universal Church of the LORD Almighty is an inclusive way of encompassing the essence of
all religions from a new perspective, especially in regard to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam's concept of YHWH-GOD (The Father)-Allah.

What do the terms "LORD Almighty," "YHWH," "GOD the Father," and "Allah" mean? They all refer to one thing - the Source of all that exists. Is it possible to describe this Source precisely as we would describe an animate or inanimate entity? No.

At this stage in human existence, the precise nature of that Source is beyond our comprehension. Assigning names and characteristics such as Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, or any other terminologies to this Source only reflect our understandings of such terms which again vary from one human being to another.

All that we know about the Source can only be based on what, to the best of our knowledge so far, exists in the Universe(s) both materially and spiritually - the latter of which applies to all those who have been throughout the ages inspired at one time or another by the Source in a way that is beyond our normal senses and through what can be called "the Holy Spirit."

For the Universal Church of the LORD our entire planet constitutes the Church including all the church, houses of worship, mosques, synagogues, temples and so on.

There is no subject in the Universe that is beyond the reach of the Church as long as it is positively beneficial to one and all from the Church's perspective.

In addition to the foundation of the Church which is based on believing in an ultimate Source of all things, the following statements provide an approximate framework for the Church of the LORD:

"The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away, it diminished in size. Finally, it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man, has to make a man appreciate the creation of God and the love of God."

James Irwin, Apollo 15, July 1971

"Now I know why I am here; not for a close look at the Moon, but to look back at our Home, the Earth."

Alfred Worden, Apollo 15

And from Buddha:

• Do not believe what you have heard;
• Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down by many generations;
• Do not believe anything that has been spoken many times;
• Do not believe because the written statements come from a sage;
• Do not believe in conjecture;
• Do not believe in authority or teachers or elders;

But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit
one and all, then accept it and live by it.

The Kingdom of God is within you. Christ

Do not do to others what you do not wish for them to do unto you.

This planet is the only home we have and thus All Wars Are Civil Wars.
