Introduction This book came to be as a result of personal convictions about certain Daheshist teachings. In it I describe such topics as divine justice, reincarnation, consciousness, the soul, nature and its abuse by mankind. These thoughts were inspired by my faith in Daheshism that began in 1963.

About a decade ago, when I was 23 years old, I wrote a prose poem that at that time was a good reflection of my attitude toward life. I read it again recently and found it still to be a good reflection, with the exception that I was then naive on two counts, namely, friendship and love. I will elaborate on these issues in the body of this book.
