How you live your life if you were the key?

A 40 year old letter to a 40 year old angel called Nima…

It was a cold night, saturated with all the darkness and pain in the world
A heavy night that had been lingering in the horizon for some time
Our eyes longing for the meaning of kindness and our ears, a kind word
In a world that had sunk into the arms of the evil, came an Angel to awaken us, to save us, and to remind our tired looks that darkness didn’t have do last forever
With eyes, brighter than the Sun and gentleness, softer than the Moon and joy, bigger than life itself, an angel landed into our arms and found his eternal home in our hearts

In the days when smiles were rare and happiness unlawful and love hidden in the deepest corners of our souls, came a message of innocence and reminded us that love was not dead and nor forgotten

With hands, more generous that a hot summar day, you touched our hearts and the glacier of regrets, loneliness and unfulfilled dreams melted away into a river of hope, joy and love and found its way back to life
You taught us how to be whole again and not to beleive in the darkness and how to fall in love with life again through the gift of love that you brought us and then taught us

This world is a more beautiful place because of you, your tender heart and the love you are sharing with the world…

Happy Birthday son 🎉🎈🎊🎁

Dad ❤️

The day that this injustice to the essence of life, justice and humanity is buried in the history of dictators is not too far… in this world, freedom and happiness is not being granted.
Only those worthy of peace, liberty and growth will deserve to taste all the depths of the sweetness of happiness.

Courage is Contagious…

THE TIME HAS COME…!!!
Tomorrow is the day for the masses of people from all areas in the country to take to the streets of Tehran to fight the oppressors and murderers.

THIS IS IT… The time has come to show the violent and dictator regime of Iran that the only thing that eternally runs through the veins of our country’s history is:
THE BLOODS OF THE COURAGEOUS IRANIAN PEOPLE, FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREEDOM!

The magic of life comes alive in its complexity and diversity; like a new-born baby, and we feel at our best when we most contribute to life and it’s beauties and the people in it.

This is one of the greatest characteristics of true leaders: they make the world a more beautiful place!

My sister was tortured and executed by the fascistic Islamic regime of Iran some years ago, at the age of 22.

Now, in 2022, that the Iranian dictator government has shut down the internet to carry out its ongoing executions and mass murders of the young protesters, I’d like to ask you for your support, professionally and personally (there is only one of us in both rolls, after all).

Please be the voice of the struggling Iranian younger generation, who are fighting a regime that represents violence and terrors of the dark ages. Please share the news of the violent murder of , age 22, hoping that it would help to put stop to further murders in Iran and other countries and make the world a better place… the number of murders have now risen to over 50 young human being!

“Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.

If you've no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain!”

- Saadi, the Persian poet in the 13th century

Slow down…

Put down that heavy bag of thoughts that has been carried around for years
Let your tired shoulders rest
just a bit!

Take a moment
Look again! This time with new eyes
Eyes that mirror your soul
This most beautiful being
Breath slowly
Inhale all the beauty
Let your eyes invite in the light within
The wind dance in your hair

What’s the rush?
Slow down and breath
One more time
You are already here… at Home!

Touch the sunset with your fingertips
Drink the fresh water
Splash it on your face…
why not go for a swim
Here and now?
Maybe with your cloths on?
Experience craziness
For once

Feel what it felt like as a child
Once more
Free, excited and curious
Whatever is on your mind can wait
Leave it out
Step into this divine space and feeling
Now!

Can you taste the freshness?
How do you fit in all this magnificence within your soul?
Expand…!

There’s nowhere to go to
You are the destinations
No other place to be
No other time to make peace with yourself
To feel like a syllable
In the poem of life
To become one with the soil
The trees
The wind
The clouds,
With yourself

To be able to hug your childhood
To embrace your hopes and longings
To feel alive and complete
For no reason
Just because you feel like it

When was the last time
You felt this way?

This is your time
To fall in love with god
With life
With yourself…
Once again!

What’s the rush?
You’re at home… have always been
You are the home!
Let your heart invite you
Into this sacred space of
Allthingness
Nothingness
Eternal Being
Nothing more
Nothing less
Invite yourself
Be your own guest!

Own your joy
Own your peace
Own your love
Own your life
Be!
Just Be!
Right now!
What a beautiful feeling is Being!

Slow down
Come closer…

The power of Though…

The power of thought is the most powerful energy that exists in our world. Everything is born out of this power: connection to life on every level takes place with the help of this most amazing power, without exception.

Our
- Ideas
- Happiness
- Health
- Satisfaction
- Fulfilment
- self confidence
- Courage
- Intimate relationships
- Friendships
- Peace of mind
- Passion
- Gratitude
- Balance between work and life-

- Etc, etc… are all feelings and emotions that are derived from our own thoughts; the byproducts of Thought, this inner and divine power.

If this is the case, then how come everything seems to be happening to us from our surroundings, other people and external circumstances?

You see, when we are born the intelligent system of the human experience is set-up so amazingly to enable us to feel 100% connection to the world with every breath, something like watching a 6-D movie, where we get a much deeper experience than we would have with only our eyes and ears. When we forget that the shaky seat, the blowing wind by our feet and the rain on our faces are all made-up high-tech gadgets, we get lost in the story and become one with our experiences of the movie of life.

Many of us go though life as if we were watching a horror film and were part of it, mostly the victim!

What if the screen we are watching is our own consciousness, mirroring our thinking, and the characters our own thoughts, all being powered by Mind; the intelligent creative energy of life?

What would we change about how we live our lives then?
What would the world look like then?

Definitely worth pondering over. ❤️

What is it that is making us feel calmer,
happier and more at home…

when…
it’s raining?
the sun is shining?
the river is flowing?
the breeze is caressing our faces?
the sea is being calms?
the waves are calling our names?
the leaves are dancing to the wind?
we are staring at the sky?
the fluffy clouds are moving around?
the mountains are greeting our curiosity?
When…
When…
When…

Is it anything but the fact that every single part of nature is reminding us of who we truly are and what we deeply are made of and how we can best live as a very small and still powerful part of this Infinite being, called Life?

When we find the deeper peace, joy, beauty and power that we are made of, we realise that we are the creators of the quality of our lives and experiences and emotions that dictate how we are feeling from fear and regret to love and happiness.

How would You show up every morning once you realise that you always have a big SAY about how you live your life?

Would you be more loving, kinder and more caring… or, would you choose to live in the past, carry heavy thoughts and feelings of shame, regret or sorrow, as I did for most of my life, before waking up to the richness and freshness of the understanding of the art of living and loving life as it is; being alive in the moment?



Our way of thinking is our life!

Have you ever thought about the source of the biggest misunderstandings and problems in our relationships with ourselves and others?

At any moment, we may get involved in arguments with our partner, children, neighbours, colleagues and even ourselves.
Our thoughts on ourselves and others, our attitude, have the final say in how we feel and act.

Understanding the root cause of this problem is important in finding effective solutions to relationship challenges.

From our chosen words, to feelings and reactions in response to the environment and people around us, have nothing to do with the people and events that seem to be causing them. Our surroundings are just excuses and catalysts that trigger our own thoughts and feelings that have been accumulated in our minds for years. We even feel extremely loyal and sensitive to some of our thoughts, to the extent of calling them values and purpose of life. These solidified thoughts can’t wait to find an opportunity to express themselves and show off.

The human brain is capable of using all its energy to prove its superiority, to the extent that in some conditions it can even resort to violence, war and murder to prove a made-up thought and idea. Honour killings and political and religious punishments and executions are some of the most obvious and disgraceful cases of the dominance of rigid and blind thoughts in people who don’t know any better.

When we learn and accept that each person sees life only through a personal lens and magnifying glass, which only is an innocent sum of their personal thoughts and experiences, the way to finding lasting solutions to create healthy and beautiful relationships and peace of mind opens up: Misunderstandings and visible differences that are caused by the diversity of thoughts get a much better chance to be understood and resolved.

Finding the best solutions is only possible in the presence of love and compassion.

By becoming aware of the power of thought, as the source of all our behaviour, we are in a stronger position to get better, to connect, to be kind, to forgive and to love ourselves and the others… to experience happiness and joy!🌈
