My Credentials:
BA Diploma in Communication Arts and Cinema
from SMU (Southern Methodist University) -
Dallas/Texas.
Three courses short of a Masters Degree in
Philosophy from AUB (American
University of Beirut).
v
During my long academic years in the U.S. (from where I earned
my High School Diploma as well), I've had the chance to work
with recognizable figures in the entertainment industry on
course projects that involved motion picture arts and sciences.
I also worked in the field of Journalism as an Illustrator for a
newspaper, and In 1992 I won a
Journalism Excellence Award (Newspaper Illustration Division -
1st Illustrator) from TIPA (Texas Intercollegiate Press
Association) - University of Texas (Arlington Branch).
v
Upon my return to my country of origin (Lebanon), my
Greek Spiritual Orientation
, in addition to my
childhood admiration for The Ancient Greek mind, brought me to
pursue my higher education in the field of Philosophy at
AUB (American
University of Beirut).
For more than three years including six semesters crammed with
philosophy courses,
I came to realize that The Academic Field of Philosophy has long departed from its
glorious Greek origins, and it has somehow rebelliously evolved
(through a sequential thread of whining and groaning) into
something more reflective of poetry than it is of philosophy.
With all due respect to The Field of Poetry (which I
am not a big fan of),
I was deeply disappointed by this fact, and I was only two to three
courses short of my Masters Degree when I decided to forsake my
lengthy academic journey, and instead, privately undertake that
which made me seek philosophy in the first place:
The Beauty of the Ancient Greek Mind
v
In the
mid
nineties, I founded one of the first Druze Spiritual
websites, known as
Druzenet,
dedicated to revealing the Authentic Gnostic Identity
of The Druze and a pioneer in this domain.
Druzenet today is visited by thousands on a daily basis, quoted from
by major online dictionaries worldwide, and considered one among
very few reliable online resources on The Druze Spirituality.
For more than a decade now,
Druzenet appeared on the top 20 search engine results on
The Druze Religion (in major search engines), and is
linked to and recommended by highly respectable web
sites.
My initial inspiration behind Druzenet was a deep sense of
compassion
towards my Druze brethrens in Lebanon and world-wide,
springing from my strong belief that every Druze person has the
full right to be introduced to his/her Spiritual Doctrines, at
any time he is mature enough to inquire into it, without any psychological obstacles and
free from any religious complications.
This is (in fact) what our
doctrines have always taught us. Gnosis (The Sacred Wisdom) after all, according
to our doctrines, is not owned by any party or authorized by any
authority. True Gnosis is not acquired, it
is only recollected into memory, with minimum level of
unobtrusive guidance along the way.
My secondary aim for launching Druzenet was to provide
Authentic information on The
Druze Spiritual Identity, especially, in the wake of the amount of distorted material
written on The Druze beliefs and practices online and in print-form.
Most accounts written so far, at their best, only
tackle The Druze from a very narrow historical perspective,
often depicting them
as a group of heretics and witches, that historically deviated from
Ismaelism, never truly
acknowledging Their Autonomous Spiritual Identity and our
Ancient Gnostic Heritage - an Identity that
transcends the historicity of The Druze as a Sectarian
Body only hosting the final chapter of its timeless journey
across space and time.
Our Gnostic Brotherhood has survived the test of time and
The Dark Night of The Soul that characterized
The Gnostic history which we wrote with blood ink
across our countless incarnations on earth, long before we were
even known under the naming Druze.
Now, I believe, this forsaken Identity, deserves to be celebrated
and not hidden, respected and honored and not humiliated, at least by
The Authentics amongst us Druze. Our Spirit deserves not
to be silenced anymore, and we should not allow our Glorious
Heritage to be buried any further on the hands of an ignorant
few who claim monopoly over our spiritual destiny , whilst their sole purpose in life
(on the other hand) is to please their
political avatars.
v
For a number of years, I was also an Editor in Charge of the
renowned
non profit magazine, El-Doha, that was sponsored and published by
Mashiakhat El-Aql, glorified by the personhood of His Imminence
Sheikh
Bahjat Ghaith
,
who privately financed the
publication of El-Doha and countless other books and
publications aimed at spreading
Authentic Information on The Druze Spiritual Identity, tracing its
origins in major philosophies and religions of the world, eons
prior to the historical emergence of Our Brotherhood
in this part of the world (The Levant),
under the notorious name, DRUZE.
v
Following
several years of publishing spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical
articles through El-Doha, The Children of Light saw the light,
which is a book written primarily in Arabic, comprised of more
than a decade worth of those articles, assembled to reveal The
Exegesis of our Gnostic Identity across the darkness of
earthly history, taking the reader on a journey through
time, tracing the thread of The Ancient Gnostic Light
emanating from our Father (The Universal Mind),throughout all philosophies and religions, and even prior to the
birth of religious history: back to The Lost History of
Ancient
Atlantis and Lemuria, and forward towards this very
late moment in time.
v
On the wake of the new millennium (in year 2000), I founded a Gnostic
Publication by the title Adam, which was only
published for nine months, nine issues that were also assembled
in book form.
v
Although, my career interest in life has always been 3D Art and
Graphic Design, I learnt along the way to keep an eye for
Beauty wherever it resides.
Ever since my early childhood, I've been raised to believe that
I have a unique eye for beauty, and most of my free time I spent
sketching imagery on paper with a blue BIG pen,
only to end up tearing up or throwing away whatever I sketch,
rarely framing or
collecting my art work, always surprised to see it on some wall
or inside a drawer that is not mine.
I never understood this urge within me to Let Go of whatever I
do or own. However, this Let Go spirit has somehow enabled me to
venture deeper and deeper into the Secrets of Beauty itself,
without getting lost and confused by the frame of technicalities and formalities; and most
importantly, it has helped me recognize The Authentic Beauty, once I
encounter it, and learn how to appreciate its true worth, and try to express its
logic into words, without letting my limited writing skills
discourage me or get in the way. Last but not least, it has
taught me to aspire to be generous in spirit, and pass what I know unto
others (today before tomorrow), without expecting much in return
or claiming authoritative ownership over thoughts and ideas.
For, I believe that beauty a such, no matter how long is kept
exclusive, cannot but revolt in the very end, one way or the
other; and it is my honor and privilege to serve such revolution, whilst it
still needs my humble services.
v
As any Druze growing up in a religious environment, I was raised
to believe in the divinity of Ancient Gnostic Sages, like
Hermes Trismegistus,
Enoch and Seth and Timeless Gnostic Minds, especially those who are
known in The Druze Texts as incarnations of the Sacred Order of the
Five Bounds and their Three Subsidiaries
in Ancient Greek times, whose persons are verified in the
following excerpt from The Gnostic Texts
of The
Druze:
"Blessed with the grace of Eternity is he who believed and thus
was secured, and so he entered The City of Beauty and sat on the
Divans of Pytha the Numerical, Socra the Village of the Aeons,
Plo the light, Pla the shadow, Aris the cause, Parmen the
Eternal, Democ The Secured, Empedoc The Overflow…"
v
After at least five years of studying the master pieces of such timeless minds,
I ran one day across an Ancient Gnostic Manuscript
(present among The Gnostic Texts of the Druze) by the title,
The Exclusive Fifth Science; and the rest to me is
history.
For more than a decade now, I've been deciphering the encoded
logic of this unique Spiritual Science
(on and off), and what I discovered (so far) is beyond amazing.
It was not until mid 2008 that my impressions over this science
began to revolt on paper and in sketch form. Eventually however, I began to
organize and develop my notes on this science further and
further until I felt that I could no longer keep such material
to myself. Thus, I embarked upon a book project written in
the language I feel most comfortable with, English , especially due to its
unmatched universality and convenience when it comes to expressing
notions that
involve philosophical terminology.
I do admit that being born to an Spiritually Enlightened
Druze Parents is a plus when it comes to grasping
the phenomenal dimensions of such an ancient science, because it
has meant believing in the divinity of The Ancient Greek
Logic , which is much more than simply going about it The
Academic Way. For, it has always prompted me to dive into the
works of Timeless Greek Philosophers (The like of The
Master Mind Pythagoras,
Plato , Aristotle and Plotinus) like a devoted
Christian diving into the Biblical Books or a devoted Moslem
inquiring into The Quranic verses, with great faith that I shall
one day arrive at a magical revelation.
Ironically, this worked reversely, through helping me obtain just
enough philosophical insight to push the magic of Fifth
Science towards more philosophically
elaborate grounds.
v
I finally choose to officially go public with this Ancient
Forbidden Science, in
English. English is renowned for being a universal language,
and the nature of Fifth Science, as you shall gradually
discover, is undoubtedly:
Universal.
In the beginning, I was somewhat reluctant of publishing Fifth Science online,
because my experience across the years (in the domain of
publishing) have taught me that what
comes easy goes easy...; and sometimes, people need to pay for
a book or publication, or at least, search hard enough for it, in order to
appreciate its true worth.
However, considering the Enticing Uniqueness of Fifth
Science , and in the wake of the spiritual bankruptcy that the world in
general is
experiencing, and the spiritual deprivation that
The Druze Brethens (in specific) are suffering from, due to the monopolization of
The Druze spiritual
life by a few unworthy Counterfeits, who call themselves
Guardians of the Truth, when in The Final Truth, they have done nothing
for our Brotherhood but
literally burying a set of valuable books in their rotten
cabinets. They've also apparently done a bad job in this too;
because, those books seem to have leaked their way into print
form
beyond their control; and ever since, their sole mission has
been to viciously deny
any connection they have to those books, whilst they endorse
their own twisted demented religious do's and don't instead, as a
substitute.
In
addition to facing up to those ignorant bunch, whom I believe the
term Counterfeits best describes who they are and
the nature of the role they have played in hiding and
counteracting The Gnostic Spirit of our Authentic
Brotherhood, we must also confront the great threats
targeting our Spiritual Identity. For, in the wake of the
lack of authentic resources available on The Druze and
the prevalence of false accounts instead, I found it imperative
that I dedicate my effort to presenting The Druze from an
honest Druze perspective.
I especially find it worthy to address the non-Arabic speaking
Druze Brothers around the world, realizing how
deprived they are of such knowledge and how potentially great of an impact such
a Spiritual Science could have on their lives and
(of course) people's lives in general,
especially in the wake of the convenience and promptness that
the domain of internet communication provides,
Thus,
ultimately, I
thought its worth to go ahead and launch substance as a
website rather than in print form.
Yes, I finally decided to go online with this very unique and
exclusive material,
dedicating it to you (any interested reader), equally and
impartially as I would to any Druze brother.
Yes, I dedicate it to you, whomever you are, and to whatever
culture, religion, race or country you belong to,
unconditionally and unexceptionally. For, this Spiritual
Science is not a religious science, and it belongs not
to me or you or even The Druze themselves, it belongs to
The Universal Mind: The Father of Humanity (at
large) and The Eternal Sun of all Religions and Philosophies,
even before religions even existed.
From The Universal Mind Gnosis sprung forth, and, to The
Universal Mind it shall return, like dispersed sun rays as it
gathers itself in preparation for
The Dawn of a new
sunrise...
v
I present to you the heart of my 10 yr. expedition free of any
charge, in honor of the Gnostic Spirit of Brotherhood that I was
raised to cherish.
What I ask of you in return is to bear with me reading substance, and excuse the complexity of some of the
notions reflected through its pages at times, and the limitations of my
writing skills
at another.
Unfortunately, I am not a professional writer with amazing
writing skills. I am just an ordinary
person who have promised thy self at one time, to survive in order
to tell the great story I am telling you today in my humble
wording abilities.
I thus, ask of you to be patient receiving substance, gradually
allowing the life-transforming logic of Fifth Science to
work its magic through you, as it has through me, and not to
hesitate at any time to contact me through the e-mail at the
bottom of the page for aid on any point that you feel requires
further elucidation.
Your questions, comments, suggestions, inquiries are
welcomed at all times.
v
To every Authentic Brother and Sister on earth who has always
sensed deep in his/her heart the uniqueness of His Identity, and who have never lost
faith in seeking insight over such uniqueness, I dedicate this work to
you as well. You might not hold a Druze ID, but I
know just as you do, that you are are An Authentic Brother...
v
Finally,
I
dedicate my work to my beloved father, Sheikh Bahjat
Ghaith, whom I am honored and blessed to be his son in this life time,
and whose
life journey has inspired me to venture into The Forbidden
Zone freely, and to express myself under no traditional or
religious pressure of any sort.
I shall never, as long as I live, forget my father's intriguing
childhood tales of Atlantis and Ancient Egypt, that kindled
inside me the yearning to know more and seek knowledge at any
price;
he who
passed on to me (since my early childhood) his deep and genuine passion for our
Forsaken Identity, and his courageous,
uncompromising
spirit
of honor and freedom, which marked his tough journey among The
Druze Counterfeits, from Politicians and
Mashiaekh,
who solicited his Generous Spirit of Brotherhood on every
imaginable level, and when the time came for them to hear a word
of Truth from him, they stabbed him so blindly and ignorantly.
To the Politicians who stabbed him, I say:
"with the very same knife you stabbed him, you
are now being stabbed; for, you were not opposing his personhood,
but the Spirit he represents..."
As to those stubborn
religious wolves dressed in sheep's clothing, who's never been
equipped with enough spirit or vision to confront Their Own
Selves in The Mirror of Truth-in-Finality, those who
call themselves "brothers" , yet, who betrayed and breached the
very basic values and principles of Brotherhood, so maliciously
and unjustifiably, I say unto you:
"You
are to live with whom you are, and we are to die from whom we're
not, let us see who is heading towards a better destiny?"
Finally, I dedicate this material to my divinely endowed wife
Taghrid (who belongs not to this world), and who has lit my life
and my Spiritual Path
in unimaginable ways saving me from my own self at times, in the darkest and most critical of moments.
In dedicate it also to my
two little angels (my two very special daughters Nour and
Salam, and
my beloved son Einarr, and most importantly to the
spirit of my timeless mentor: SOCRATES (Socra The Village of
the Eons), whose Method has inspired me at all times,
and whose uncompromising character and its unique impact upon history I cherish and honor most.
v
One Last Word:
As you go on reading the material on this website, always remember:
True, Fifth Science is an outcome of a unique individual
effort.
However,
It is anything but a personal interpretation of a religious
text.
It is based on an existing Spiritual Science that holds a very clear and
precise logic - an intricate logic that resembles mathematics
in its technicalities, more than an average philosophical or
theological perspective.
It is the product of years and years of seclusion, dedicated to
decoding the logic of a few number of pages, that I find worth
trading a whole world of career opportunities for.
Also, do keep in mind at times, that I am, at my very best, an
average skilled writer with English as my second language,
trying to express a very non average substance, that is beyond
regular esotericism.
Thus, please forgive my
language skills at times, if they fall short of expressing or communicating
certain
complex notions of this science, in the manner you would expect
it to as a reader.
I promise to keep working my best to make your experience in
substance as smooth as possibleFrom here, I would like for you to think of
substance as a Wax
Statue that is always on the molding. Accordingly, each
page you encounter on this web site is going to be continuously
updated for better wording and. The aim is to sharpen and refine
the mold of substance, as much as possible, so as to resemble the Promise of Beauty I have in mind
for you.
On my part, I pledge to try to be as lucid and simple as I could in my
choice of words;
and
as you shall discover, the logical matrix of Fifth Science
and its mathematical fiber,
will automatically ease away your attention from my modest
grammar
and vocabulary, and most importantly from who I am, where I come from and
to what religion or culture I belong.
After
all,
I am just an ordinary person striking a chord. I am not
(by any means) a professional composer"...
THE MATERIAL PRESENTED IN SUBSTANCE
IS HIGHLY INTOLERANT TOWARDS ANY FORM OF INFRINGEMENT
ON ANY LEVEL. IT PROJECTS AN EXCLUSIVE METAPHYSICAL LOGIC
THAT DECODES A SURVIVING MANUSCRIPT PRESENT WITHIN THE
GNOSTIC TEXTS OF THE DRUZE, THE
EXCLUSIVE FIFTH SCIENCE. THE ANCIENT LOGIC
OF FIFTH SCIENCE IS ELUCIDATED VIA SUBSTANCE THROUGH
PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL CONCEPTS THAT ARE EXCEPTIONALLY
REFLECTIVE OF DRUZE GNOSTICISM, DIRECTLY INSPIRED FROM THE GNOSTIC
DOCTRINES OF THE DRUZE AND AUTHENTICATED BY HIGHLY AUTHORIZED
SACRED TEXTUAL
RESOURCES.
