SOME ANSERED QUESTIONS
About Dr. Dahesh and Mormonism

DOCTOR DAHESH (1912-1984) was the miracle-working Prophet of Lebanon. He performed thousands of supernatural miracles such as raising the dead, turning water into wine, waking on water, making inanimate objects animated, making hundreds of minutely detailed prophecies (mostly to individuals) that were fulfilled in the minutest detail, speaking other languages he never studied fluently while overcome with the Spirit, and many hundreds of divine healings in which lepers, the blind, the lame, the deaf, the scarred, and the demon-possessed were healed instantly. Dr. Dahesh spent the last 19 years of His life living in New York City, and He died there in April of 1984. As far as we know, He never mentioned Joseph Smith or Mormonism. But He did leave us a body of teachings and Holy Books, and we can glean from this body of teachings, which is called “Daheshism”, and compare this was some popular Mormon beliefs.

THE GODHEAD: Mormonism teaches that there are trillions of Gods and Goddesses, but there are three Gods over our planet: Elohim, Jehovah, and the Holy Ghost. Elohim and Jehovah have resurrected bodies, but the Holy Ghost is still a Spirit-Man Who somehow reached exaltation without a mortal human probation.

Daheshism teaches that there is only One God, Allah, the Mind of the Cosmos. There are indeed trillions of “Holy Spirits” Who are basically our guardian angels. Each being has a Holy Spirit that dwells in them, and is their “Father in Heaven”. The Holy Spirits share in the Mind of God. Every sentient being is composed of ruh (spirit) and nafs (soul), and the ruh (spirit) in each sentient being is their Holy Spirit.

PRE-EXISTENCE: Mormonism teaches we are the good angels that fought against Lucifer, so we were cast out of heaven to enjoy mortal lives on earth as humans. Daheshism teaches WE are the fallen angels, cast out of heaven to be punished by having mortal lives in the material planets.

DINOSAURS: Mormonism teaches that this Earth was made from other earths, and that is why there are the bones of dinosaurs and other strange animals now extinct in our soil, but they never lived on this earth. Daheshism teaches that evolution is true, and that dinosaurs existed on this planet.

ADAM AND EVE: Mormonism teaches that Adam and Eve were the first human beings, and that they dwelt in Jackson County Missouri, and were the parents of all humans. Daheshism teaches that Adam was not the first human being, but Adam was Adapa, the priest of Eridu in Sumeria. He fell from a Heavenly planet to this planet. He lived for 930 Moons and had sons and daughters. He reincarnated as Ahyeh, king of Egypt, who married Khiyah, his grand-daughter, because she was “tempted” by the Cobra-crown, the symbol of the Wisdom of the Gods by which the Pharaohs ruled. Khiyah tempted Ahyeh with her “forbidden fruit” and her partook, which caused his own soul and the souls of all his descendants to “fall”. Adam had to return to this world as Jesus to “atone” for that “fall” which caused spiritual death in the Spirit-World. The Hebrew word for “rib” (tsela) can also mean “penis”. This is the meaning that Khiyah came from a “rib” of Adam: meaning she was one of his “seed” (descendants). Ahyeh and Khiyah dwelt in the "Garden of Aten" which was a temple-garden complex (with canals and fruit trees of all kinds) on the Nile in what is now Tel Amarna, Egypt. After their deaths, the temple-garden complex with destroyed by the priests of the pagan Egyptian gods who halted the worship of Aten.

JESUS CHRIST: Mormonism views Jesus Christ as Jehovah in the flesh, the firstborn of Elohim and one of his wives. Elohim physically sired Jesus with Mary, his daughter-wife. Jesus is seen as the Savior of the World, whose suffering in Gethsemane and upon the Cross was an atonement for our sins. Daheshism views Jesus Christ as an incarnation of one of the Sayyals (spiritual fluids) of the Word of God, which is the Creative Force of the Cosmos. The Holy Spirit of Jesus is indeed Jehovah, who is not Allah, but a Holy Spirit. The conception of Jesus was by miracle. The Holy Spirits are not “men” and they have no bodies. They are Spirits, parts of the One Spirit like protons are “parts” of the Sun. Holy Spirits are not male nor female, and may be addressed as “Our Father in Heaven” or “Our Mother in Heaven” or “Our Parent in Heaven”. Jesus has reincarnated one time per century since the 1st century to the 20th century, when He was born as Saleem Moosa Achi in Jerusalem in 1912. Jesus will reincarnate again in the 21st century, and be born of a woman of Nazareth; probably around the year 2033 A.D. He will work many miracles, and gather disciples; one of whom will be killed and buried in Nazareth. Jesus will again die, and again be born in the 22nd, 23rd, and finally, for the last time on this planet, in the 24th century. Dr. Dahesh was Jesus in a previous incarnation. Dr. Dahesh was the 20th incarnation of the Word of God upon this planet; which explains why He had power over creation.

SALVATION: Mormonism teaches that “salvation” is of three kinds: Salvation from physical death which is Resurrection, Salvation from going to Hell in the Spirit-World, the place we dwell between death and the Resurrection, and Salvation from Damnation: meaning salvation from going to a lesser glory than the highest glory which is the celestial glory of the Celestial Kingdom. Mormonism teaches that all men and women will be Resurrected, but only those who accept Christ will go to Paradise in the Spirit-World, and only those who belong to the One True Church, and are faithful to that Church all of their lives, attending all meetings, receiving all rites and ordinances, paying tithing, going on missions, being faithful and obedient to Church leaders, will be saved from damnation; meaning they will inherit the celestial glory of the Celestial Kingdom and become literal “Gods” and “Goddesses”; creating their own planets and peopling those planets with their own spirit-children, for all eternity.
Daheshism also teaches that there are three types of Salvation:

*1 Salvation from spiritual-death. Because of Jesus’ death on the Cross, which reversed the effects of the Fall of Adam, all men and women become alive in the Spirit-World after death. After the Fall of Adam, and before the atonement of Christ, the dead were literally “dead” in the Spirit-World. They were completely unconscious. This salvation comes to all men and women because of Jesus’ shed blood.

*2 Salvation from the Hell-planets. We are fallen angels dwelling on a Hell-planet, where the rays of the Sun “burns” our skin, and where there is disease, deformity, injustice, separation of loved ones, famine, war, “demons” (socio-paths) who torment us. We continue to live mortal lives on Hell planets until we are “saved”. We are “saved” when all of the karma that is attached to our souls burns away, and karma is burned away by suffering (physical or mental) or good works. To achieve salvation from the Hell planets means to be “born above” on a Heavenly Planet; where there is no ageing, no disease, no deformity, no injustice, no war, no famine, and no death. To achieve this kind of salvation we must walk the Straight and Narrow Path, also called “The Way”. We must practice the Pure Religion, also known as the Good Religion: good thoughts, good words, good deeds. Through the practice of the Good Religion, and our own suffering, we will eventually burn away the karma that has attached to our souls, until our souls are “clean” from karma, and they may ascend to the Kingdom of Heaven; which are the Heavenly Planets. Dr. Dahesh explains what life is like on a number of Heavenly Planets in His book Paradise. The lower Heavenly planets are much like Earth, but far advanced in technology. The higher Heavenly Planets are where our own imagination creates things. In other words, we must only think of a thing, and that thing is created before us: whether it be a prior love, a pet, a situation that occurred in a previous life, etc. The perfect similitudes of all these things are created by our minds on the higher Heavenly Planets. There is no death on the higher Heavenly planets, but it is possible to “fall” from a Heavenly planet back to Earth. Then the process to regain the Kingdom of Heaven must begin again.

*3 Salvation from the Cosmos. The ultimate form of salvation is salvation from the Wheel of Rebirth, and from the Cosmos, and to reach Nirvana. This form of salvation is most difficult, and can only be achieved by a few of the most dedicated; such as Buddhist or Jain monks. One must become a eunuch to achieve this. The Buddha came to teach how to achieve Nirvana; as did others. Nirvana is not a planet, but is the “return” of the soul into the Mind of the Cosmos like a drop of rain water eventually returns to the ocean. Also called “Moksha”.

HEAVEN AND HELL: Mormonism teaches that "heaven" consists of three kingdoms, Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. Within the Celestial Kingdom are three "glories"; with the same names. The goal is to inherit "celestial glory" in the "Celestial Kingdom"; to become Gods and Goddesses. Others will inherit the Celestial Kingdom, but will become eternal sexless servants. Hell is anything other than celestial glory in the Celestial Kingdom, and especially to become a "son of Perdition" (outer darkness) where souls cry and wail for apparently all eternity in darkness. Mormons think that Mormon apostates will become sons of perdition, but that is not official. Daheshism teaches that Heaven are literal planets where there is no ageing and death. There are 150 "degrees" of Heavenly planets from the top to bottom. The lowest heavenly planets are basically just like Earth, except more advanced technological wise. Beings on the lower Heavenly planets are born immoral, but they still may die in accidents. The highest heavenly planets is where mind controls matter, and anything we can imagine and "speak" into existence, is created; not the planets itself, but our surroundings on them. There is no death whatsoever on the higher Heavenly planets, because there are no physical bodies, but we may "fall" from a higher heavenly planet to a lower heavenly planet, or even to a Hell planet. "Hell" are literal planets where the rays of the Sun "burn and age" our skins and inner organs until they eventually fail. Earth is the highest type of Hell planet, and there are many planets were life is much harsher than on Earth; where the wicked spend from one to tens of millions of lifetimes depending upon their deeds. for example, if Hitler and Stalin murdered millions, then they must spend millions of lifetimes on lower Hell planets until finally that karma has been burn away and they may return to Earth or some other earth-like Hell planet where they will be given another chance. The ultimate "Heaven" is Nirvana, which only the most ardent will achieve, such as Buddhist or Jain monks. To achieve Nirvana one must become a Eunuch, and basically become sinless in this life. It takes many lifetimes to achieve Nirvana.

ETERNAL MARRIAGE: Mormons are taught that if they get sealed by a “Sealer” in a Mormon Temple, and are faithful to the Church all their lives, they will be married for all eternity. Daheshism teaches that the bonds of love we make with other souls in one life carry over to other lives. A mother in one life may be a sister in the next, children may be parents and parents children, and so forth. On the higher Heavenly Planets we may re-create perfect similitudes of prior loves, pets, anything we can imagine with our minds. We may live prior lives over again if we so choose, and even change the script of prior lives.

SEXUALITY: Mormonism teaches that men and women must be completely celibate before marriage, no sex of any kind (including masturbation). Sex within marriage is permissible, except for oral and anal sex. Homosexuality is condemned, but homosexuals may achieve celestial glory in the celestial kingdom "if" they remain perfectly celibate all their lives after taking Temple covenants, or they marry in a heterosexual marriage. The Church has no clear teaching is masturbation in marriage will stop a couple form exaltation. Daheshism teaches that all sex is "karmic" and lowers our spiritual fluids (Sayyals). Sex gathers karma to our souls. Therefore, it is best to be completely celibate. Next, it is best to have sex for reproduction only. Then comes romanitic-hetero sex. Natural sex (hetero) is higher than homo-sex, which is more "karmic". The more unnatural the sex, the more lust-based it is, the more "karma" we attach to our souls. But Daheshism does not require celibacy, unless our goal is Nirvana; which is not a planet, not even a Heavenly planet, but rather re-absorbing into God. If a Daheshist desires to be "born above" on a Heavenly planet, they need NOT give up sex completely, but they must fill their lives with good works, which also burns away karma. Homosexual Daheshists must fill their lives with even MORE good works, because all unnatural sex brings with it more karma than natural sex. For every year a homosexual Daheshists lives in sexuality, they need to spend a year in celibacy and good works to counter that karma they have acquired via unnatural sex. Sex based upon love and commitment is less karmic than sex based upon lust only. Therefore, there is a sliding scale of sex: with total celibacy at the top and bestiality at the bottom: the top have no karma attached to it, the bottom having massive amounts of karma attached to it, and every other kind of sex falling somewhere in between the two poles.

BORN GAY: Mormonism has no explanation why some people are apparently "born" gay or lesbian, other than to deny they are born that way and insist homosexuality is a personal choice not an inborn-orientation. The LDS Church has tried to "cure" Mormon homosexuals via Aversion therapy (electro-shock and barf-medicine while masturbating to gay porn), bishops pressuring young overly-sexy Mormon girls to date gay Mormon men (without telling the girls these men are gay), and, finally, a 12-step program. Daheshism teaches that some people are born gay or lesbian, or bi-sexual, and this is the result of souls "falling" from a Heavenly planet. In other words, if a soul on a heavenly planet. There is a punishment from falling from a heavenly planet; meaning the soul has an "additional burden" in order to return to a Heavenly planet, that additional burden can manifest itself in homosexuality, bi-sexuality, sexual obsession, hermaphrodytism, etc. These souls are those who actually achieved the Kingdom of Heaven in a previous but fell back to the Hell planets, so they have an additional obstacle as punishment because it is more difficult for a homosexual to re-gain the Kingdom of Heaven than for a heterosexual to gain it (because unnatural sex is more karmic than natural sex). In other words, if you have achieved the Kingdom of Heaven in a previous life, and you "fall" back to the Hell planets (the Earth is one), you are punished for your "apostasy" from the Kingdom of Heaven by being born gay/bi/effeminate/hermaph. But, re-gaining the Kingdom of Heaven for Uranians (the original 19th century term for gay/lesbian/bi/transgender people) is not impossible, just more difficult.

PRIESTHOOD: All Mormon males must have both orders of priesthood in order to get Celestial Glory. Daheshism teaches that a priesthood will be established consisting of “Fathers” and “Mothers” who perform certain rites, but most Daheshists will not be priests, and no priesthood is necessary to be “born above” on a Heavenly planet.

TEMPLES: Mormons must go through secret rites in order to enter into the Celestial Kingdom at the Resurrection. Daheshism will also have “temples” but these will not be places for secret rites. Rather, they will be places for marriage, divorce, baptism, and memorial, and also for spiritual retreats, spiritual education, and divine healings.

THE JUDGMENT: Mormons believe they will stand before Christ to be judged, usually if they obeyed Mormon leaders, attending meetings, did their Home Teaching, served Church callings, etc. Daheshism teaches that all men and women are judged solely according to our “works”; meaning how we treated other sentient beings, and absolutely nothing else. The Atheist who does more good works than the Christian or Muslim, will get a better reward in the World-to-Come than they will. We are not judged by what we believe, or what we do not believe, but solely according to our “works”. Our next life is our “Day of Judgment” for how we treated other sentient beings during our current life. The Law of Karma alone judges us.

LITTLE CHILDREN WITH CANCER: Mormonism claims it is "a mystery" why God gives innocent little children cancer and other horrible diseases, but Mormonism claims that little children who die before 8 will inherit Celestial Glory, which means they will become Gods or Goddesses without ever being "tested" as to their faithfulness to Mormonism. Daheshism teaches that children with cancer are paying for karma acquired in a previous life, and that all suffering burns away karma. There is no such thing as an "innocent suffering soul". The man born blind earned his blindness in a previous life. But, the good news, is that all suffering burns away karma, the more we "suffer" in this life, the greater our next birth will be. If we suffer enough, all karma is burned away, and our soul is free to be 'born above' on a Heavenly Planet.

THE SECOND COMING: Mormons believe that Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds, or a cloudy sky, with thousands of angels blowing trumpets, either over Jerusalem and/or Jackson County, Missouri, and come down to His Temple in Jackson County (or Jerusalem) and rule from there for 1000 years. Daheshism teaches that Jesus has “returned” one time per century from the 2nd century until now, and will incarnate the last time during the 24th century. Jesus will “come down from heaven” as He did the first time: via the womb of a woman. Dr. Dahesh was the 19th “return” of Jesus to this planet. Jesus said He was the Alpha and the Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek Alphabet, which has 24 letters. The meaning is that He is all the letters, from the first to the last. He is the “four and twenty elders” in the Book of Revelations (chapters 5 and 11). He will come in the 24th century (2300s), born of a woman, but indeed establish a Kingdom on this planet. There is nothing in the writings of Dr. Dahesh as far as I know about Jackson County Missouri or any City of Zion.

JOSEPH SMITH: Mormonism teaches he was the greatest man who ever lived save Jesus Christ, the Prophet of the Restoration, and Brigham Young was his rightful successor. All men and women must confess Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God or they can't receive Celestial Glory. Daheshism has nothing to say about Joseph Smith, since Dr. Dahesh never wrote about him and nobody can remember that Dahesh mentioned him. Dahesh is remembered to have one said, "The Mormons are good people". He said that at a time when many people were saying the Mormons were racists. That is all he is remembered to have said about Mormons or Mormonism. In Daheshism, we are all judged by the Laws of Karma according to how we treat others and absolutely no other criteria; so believing or not believing in Joseph Smith has absolutely no bearing on what rewards or punishments we shall receive in the World-to-Come. If you want further information on Dr. Dahesh and Daheshism send an email to: daheshist@yahoo.com

The number of Daheshists in the world is about 2,000. Once the film "DAHESH" is made and released to cinemas and to cable television, that number will increase significantly, then Dahesh Missions will be established in every country where there is freedom of religion. A priesthood, consisting of "Fathers" and "Mothers" will be established, but most Daheshists will not be priests. Dahesh Temples will eventually be built once a metro area has enough Daheshists to justify it.

Daheshists are not required to "go to Church" on Sunday (or any day), but communal worship is not forbidden either. Daheshists may meet once per week or once per month for "Spiritual Session" which is basically a pot-luck and social gathering with some prayers and Readings from the Daheshist holy books. These five holy books are in Arabic, and are not yet in English or other languages:

*The Gospel of Love
*My Testament
*Paradise (description of life on several heavenly planets)
*The Inferno (description of life on several lower Hell planets)
*The Book of the Divine Guide

Daheshists who want to attend "church" are invited to attend UNITY churches (Unity School of Christianity). UNITY does not official endorse Dr. Dahesh or Daheshism, but has allowed Daheshists to become members of UNITY, and even UNITY ministers if they so choose. UNITY teaches reincarnation, and that prayer and meditation can positively effect our mortal lives. Jesus is seen as a Man Who reached Christhood via various spiritual practices over many lifetimes. UNITY accepts gays and lesbians without condemnation, and most UNITY ministers are female. There are UNITY churches in most cities in North America with a population over 100,000. For further information on UNITY go to: http://unity.org

UNITY was founded in 1890-91 by Charles Fillmore, who was inspired by "New Thought" authors such as Holmes and Mary Baker Eddy and others. He also was inspired by Eastern Religions such as Buddhism, Jainism, etc. UNITY is headquartered at Unity Village, next to Lee's Summit, Jackson County, Missouri. Charles Fillmore is not seen as a "Prophet" but he did write in 1912:

"Something is happening. All along the line is evidence of the birth of the Prince of Peace" (Talks on Truth 11:9)

In that year, Saleem Ameer Moosa Achi (Prince of Peace Moses Cook) was born in Jerusalem. He would later become known as "Doctor Dahesh".
