Here's a brief introduction of my life so far and how I came to build this site.

I was born in December of 1972 in the historic city of Hamadan in Iran.

Hamadan became the first capital of then Persia more than 2500 years ago, and was called Hekmataneh at that time. It has been home to some of the era's most famous poets such as Baba Taher, and one of the most gifted healers, astronomers, and mathematicians of the East, Abu Ali Sina (Ibn'eh Sina) or Avicenna (as he is known in the West), to whom this site is dedicated.

When I was a young boy I always loved to go to Bu'Ali Hospital with my father who was a radiologist there. I loved reading about the human body and dreamed of one day becoming a doctor myself and help people heal. Things were going great in my life at the time and I was making progress in studying science and arts and sports, until I was about 14 in 1986, when my parents decided to move me to America to be with my brother. I guess they didn't want their son to go to the Iran-Iraq war that was going on at the time and get killed. In Germany I didn't get visa so my mother and I were stuck there for about 2 1/2 years until we finally made it to America. Towards the end of High School I had couple of accidents and ended up in a "good" hospital and got to experience the receiving end of the stick of the medical profession and I was not impressed. My hospital stay left much to be desired even though from a purely medical standpoint the staff did a great job.

Another important event that happened during my High School years was that I fell in love with nature and the natural world in my biology class. I had a wonderful teacher named Mr. Stephen Lanphear who was just full of knowledge in many different areas specially biology and I really enjoyed his Advanced Biology class. At the same time I came to realize what a destructive effect humankind was having on this planet, and with what utter lack of respect and appreciation they treat the animals, plants, ecosystems, the whole planet and each other. So I secretly became a fan of hurricanes and tornadoes and viruses, bacteria, fungi, obesity, heart disease, cancer and various other maladies that plagued mankind and contributed to the population control of this most destructive and blood thirsty of all species.
I remember my roommate at the time was in first year of medical school and whenever he would come upon a deadly form of disease, he would start calling me and referring to me by that condition. First I was melanoma and then graduated to sarcoma, both deadly forms of cancer.

Another thing I learned in my biology class was the idea of 'limits' and that we are limited beings in a limited universe. Every where you look in nature and physical universe there are limits: to how many trees there are in a forest and how many wolves there are in that forest which is again limited by how many deer and other prey there are in that forest. Even in human body there are limits to how many bones we have, how fast we can run, or how fast we can read or think, though at the time I knew that my potential was very very high and for all practical purposes much higher than what I was utilizing at the time. Of course back then I did not know as much about the spirit universe which is infinite and limitless, but the search had began to achieve and realize more and more of my potential and effective solutions to remove and unblock the barriers to achieving this goal.

I also noticed how difficult life was in nature and how hard animals had to exert themselves just to barely survive. We see on the Discovery Channel time and again how the lions chase the zebra and catch them, but the truth is that lions fail to catch their prey 7-9 times out of 10 and if they don't catch their prey that 1 or 2 times, then they won't have enough energy to launch another chase and they simply starve if they can't find something to scavenge on. Things are much more difficult for the cheetah because she has almost zero body fat in order to reach the high speeds she must reach to catch the super swift and agile Thomson's Gazelle. On top of all this they have to contend with loss of habitat due to human encroachment and deforestation, loss of prey due to human hunting, pollution, and being hunted to near extinction like the american gray wolf by blood-thirsty humans either for pleasure or prejudice.

If one of these predator should fall and sprain his ankle in a chase, then that's it. No hospitals, no 24-hour emergency clinics, no food shelters, no begging on the street corner, no hand outs, no help. Death by starvation is not a pleasant experience my friends, and neither is being preyed upon by vultures and hyenas while you're still barely alive but unable to move.

So I came away from High School with the beliefs that 'life is hard' and 'life is limited'. Combine that with the poverty consciousness that I had inherited during my childhood from my mom and you can imagine what was to come which makes sense now, but little did I know...

In college I was introduced to the idea of a "rite of passage" in my African Studies class and other native cultures' studies. Rite of Passage is a series of tough ritual, cultural, and traditional events that boys in native tribes go through to end their boyhood and prove themselves as men and be accepted by the rest of the tribe as adults. These events are designed to test a boy's mental and physical stamina, as well as his survival skills. For some reason I felt that I was missing something and that I had to go through some such rite in order to prove my manhood, not to anyone in particular, but to myself. Apparently I had forgotten about the 2 1/2 years I had spent in Germany in my teens, or may be I had chosen to forgot. Anyway, the basic training, i.e. boot camp, though the toughest in the Armed Forces, was not as hard as I had expected or hoped for. And due to some issues, I did not qualify for the position that I really wanted. Then a few years later when I tried to enter Officer Candidate School, the recruiter would not return my calls, which is unusual for a recruiter, and things did not work out in general. At the time I was very angry as we usually in our lives when things seemingly don't work out, but now I'm glad that they didn't. Imagine if I had gone to some non-sense war over fictitious weapons of mass destruction and ended up getting caught up in the moment and killing some innocent civilians on purpose or by accident. Who would want that kind of karma in their spiritual bank account. Things will go so much smoother in our lives if we simply trust the wisdom of the Universe. Now I am more trusting and life is on an up swing.

For the rest of college even though I had decided not to go to medical school, I continued to maintain my interest in health and studied biology and various healing methods and martial arts. The holistic Eastern philosophy of healing appealed to me much more than the analytical Western medicine. In the East a health practitioner might look at the whole body and seek to restore balance to the whole body in order to cure an aching part of the body, instead of looking at that part and simply giving the patient a drug to numb the pain. When you give drugs, you're just suppressing the symptoms and not curing anything. (please do not discontinue your medication without consulting your medical professional and read my disclaimer). In any case the Eastern traditions address the whole person, as mind, body, and spirit, and that is more in line with my own philosophies regarding health.

Some time in college I discovered the power of the mind and how it could overcome insurmountable conditions and odds and make an individual perform tasks that would seem impossible to the body. I concluded that the mind was superior to the body in some form and started studying the mind. When traditional psychology and hypnosis fell short, I started looking at various other schools of thought until I found Dianetics and Scientology. It seemed that every school tried to bypass the problem of the mind in order to achieve spiritual salvation, whereas Dianetics and Scientology dealt with the problem head on.

As I have been studying Scientology for the past few years, I also became a Dianetics Auditor, received my Level III certification in Reconnective Healing, and my beginner and advanced certification in Theta Healing.

These days I live in Los Angeles and share my newest discovery, EFT, with people along with messages of love, hope, compassion, and forgiveness.
I no longer need to prove myself to anyone. I know that I am enough. I am whole. I am complete. I AM.

Will you join me?
