In the first half of the twentieth century, Doctor Dahesh arguably revealed the existence of a multidimensional universe — not through abstract theory, but through astonishing physical manifestations that defied scientific explanation and exceeded his conscious control. I was fortunate to meet him in the early 1970s, and later became one of his personal aides and confidants. Between 1980 and his passing on April 9, 1984, he would grace my New York City apartment with his presence. We sometimes spent weeks together — and during that time, many miracles took place. I never doubted that Doctor Dahesh was a divine prophet. That conviction has never left me. What I struggled with was the deep loneliness of having witnessed something so extraordinary — something few could truly grasp unless they had lived it themselves. After his death, I found myself in an emotional and intellectual no-man’s-land — not between belief and disbelief, but between the reality I had experienced and the worldview popularizers of science insisted I adopt. I yearned for a bridge — one that could reconcile the miraculous with the rational, the visible with the unseen. And then… science began to evolve. Theories once dismissed as fringe slowly gained ground. Researchers once ridiculed as eccentrics began exploring ideas as astonishing as the ones I had witnessed firsthand. Still, no scientific theory has proven that the universe was created by a higher power — or that it holds meaning beyond what we currently perceive. As for me: given the extraordinary events I’ve lived through, and the truths I was privileged to glimpse, I feel both a responsibility and an honor to act as your guide along a road less traveled — one that has given purpose, depth, and wonder to my lifelong pursuit of understanding. Anything less… and I would be denying everything I have seen, everything I believe — and forfeiting my soul. — Mario Henri Chakkour, AIA
