From early childhood growing up in Tehran, Iran, I
was always fascinated with metaphysics, ETs, and spirituality. My mother, my
first teacher, had a huge library of books that started me on my spiritual
path, which included reading a lot of books on various subjects. I read
hundreds of books, each preparing me for the next level.
In 1995, when I was 19, I moved to the U.S. with my family, and I
continued on the path of my life-long mission: spiritual growth and the
expansion of my consciousness. In 1999 I had a big spiritual awakening
that started my accelerated search for the truth that I was searching for
all my life. That led me to read even more, and spend thousands of hours
getting to know a wide range of spiritual paradigms through browsing the
internet. But, there was always something missing, so I kept searching
more!
Finally, through one of those websites’ message boards, I read one of
A’sha-yana’s posts addressed to an egroup in July 2000. The Voyagers
books were out of print at the time. I waited until March 2002 when the 2nd
editions were published, and I bought them then. When I read the
Voyagers books, I felt that I finally had found the Truth and the
Roadmap back to home! I thought to myself: “This is it! I found it!” I
ordered the entire collection of the Freedom Teachings products, and spent
about 8 hours a day watching the workshops or listening to audio
materials, and doing the techniques, for 40 days straight until I finished
them all.
Since then I've been studying and following the Freedom Teachings. I
became a certified Kathara Alliance member in August 2004. When I taught
my first Kathara workshop in September 2005, I felt that I was fulfilling
a deep part of my life-contract in this incarnation. As part of my
commitment to these precious teachings, I keep a complete library of all
the Freedom Teaching materials published and presented by the Azurite
Press. I have a dream some day they could be used in a Kathara Center.
As for my education, I was a 3rd year
computer science major at UC Berkeley, but ended up going to flight school
for 2.5 years and received my Commercial Pilot Certificate. I returned to
UC Berkeley for further studies, and received a bachelor’s degree in Near
Eastern Studies with emphasis on the Persian language. I currently
contribute as a Project Manager.
I’m much honored to be part of this amazing team that is assisting in
rainbow-bridging the Freedom Teachings’ capstone, KATHARA, to the global
level.
