Significant advances in science and technology during the 20^th century helped the spread of atheism; increased indifference and irresponsibility towards spiritual values; and widened the gap between science and religion. Since human solutions failed to reconsider the return to the essence of religion, it was necessary for the return of Christ. He returned in the identity of Dahesh.

In a series of questions posed by the magazine “Burooq Wa Ru’ood,” to Dr. Dahesh in March 1968, he said:

Q: I would like a clear picture about Daheshism, what is it, and when did it come into existence?

A: As to the existence of Daheshism, it began in Beirut, Lebanon, on March 23, 1942. As to the question of “what is it,” I will answer it as follows: The 20^th Century is marked by enlightenment and knowledge. In this amazing century, space ships were launched to the moon and an attempt is made to reach other planets. It has also produced the television, where the transmission of the image takes place at the speed of light. As much as this century has promoted the advancement in science and intellect, it has also promoted atheism and decadence.

Disciplines and inventions have become virtually at the disposal of each individual. However, instead of awakening their souls to the truth, they have filled it with religious doubt. As a result, spiritual values have diminished to the point that hardly anyone believes in them any more. The majority of people think that a human being is similar to an automobile that once aged, it is discarded; that he will decompose just as the old automobile would; that there is no soul responsible for what this individual has committed in good and evil deeds, that there is no Spirit and there is no reward or punishment, just as there is no Heaven or Hell. As a result of this corrupt logic, atheists have distanced themselves from Holy Books and considered them to be irrelevant. At a time where doubt and atheism have become widespread in humanity, Daheshism comes into existence in order to prove wrong all those who do not believe in the Spirit’s existence and in spiritual values.

Spiritual Sessions

The proof to the existence of the Spirit can be realized by anyone who attends a Spiritual Session that I hold. During the Session, a Spirit will take on a human form, where it would be possible to communicate directly back and forth with it and without any pretence or mystery. The Spirit can transgress the laws of nature and perform miracles as a proof of its existence. Let us suppose that you have a watch that you can identify and you left in your home. During a Spiritual Session, you can ask to have your watch brought to you. Your house could be in America, China, Cairo, or Beirut, for distance is irrelevant. The response is amazingly fast and in less than a second, the watch can be on your wrist. This is an irrefutable physical proof that cannot be denied.

If the person attending the Spiritual Session is Christian, his faith in his Gospels is solidified. If he is a Muslim, his faith is increased by what was inspired in the Qur’an. If he is a Jew, his faith in the Torah becomes stronger, and so on with other faiths. The purpose of the Spiritual Session is to help people return to their religious faiths and to practice righteousness and decency. This would be a victory for the Spirit over materialism in an era where materialism has dominated the minds. Spiritual Sessions are not constrained to this miracle, but rather, numerous miracles can happen that would strengthen the faith of those attending. For example, you can bring with you from home a plate that you normally use for meals. When the Spirit takes on a human form, you can ask it to have the plate be transmuted from porcelain into wood. While holding the plate in both of your hands, the Spirit would transmute it immediately into wood. This plate remains a wooden plate for days and years. You could have asked the Spirit, instead, to have the plate be transmuted into iron and the change would have taken place immediately and you’ll notice its weight increase while holding it in both of your hands. Likewise, you could have asked the Spirit to change the plate to any material you desire, such as; lead or crystal and the transmutation will take place immediately and with ease.

Q: Can the Spirit transmute the plate into Gold?

A: Certainly and with absolute ease.

Q: Given your supernatural abilities, you can become emperor of the world. You could change thousands of plates into gold and become the king of kings with unlimited wealth.

A: Just remember what the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John say about Christ and his disciples when they became hungry. They were poor and had no money to buy food, so they would go to the fields and pick ears of wheat. Do you think that Christ, who miraculously fed a crowd of five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish, could not have easily created money to give to his disciples to buy food? Absolutely not, he could have easily done that and had he did, Christianity would never have emerged. People would have said that his disciples followed him because he showers them with money. The disciples were meant to suffer, led by their master. They would face hunger, lack of clothing, torture, and struggle, so that each one of them earned the rewards of his extensive struggle. For instance, if you are attending a Spiritual Session and asked to have a plate be transmuted into gold, the Spirit would tell you to pull a nail from the wall, instead, hold it tight with your hands and while holding it, it will turn into a golden nail that you can take to any jeweler and be assured that it is truly gold. Miracles take place to bring faith into the hearts and not for personal materialistic gain. That is, the miracle doesn’t occur so that the person comes out happy with what he saw, but rather, that he entered as an atheist and exited believing in the Day of Reckoning and in God.

Q: This is great, however, what is your explanation of how the elements of one object are transmuted into different elements? This is by far the strangest thing I have heard!

A: We asked the Spirit about how such a transmutation can take place and it explained it as follows: The (sub-molecular) structure of each object corresponds to a specific frequency that determines its characteristics (signature). Wood has a certain frequency, iron has another, steel has yet another, and so on... For example, when you ask me to transmute an ashtray from wood to metal, I change the frequency of the wooden elements to match those of the desired metal and as a result, the transmutation takes place.

Q: Certainly, this answer is purely scientific, because universities are currently studying the frequencies of all elements, that each material has its own unique frequency. Based on this principle, nuclear studies have emerged and nuclear bombs were made.

A: This is true.

In 1982 and two years before his departure from this planet of misery, Dr. Dahesh wrote in book# 18 of his travel series the following:
