Yes people, today is the day which marks 31 years of Iran, I've decided to throw on the EY IRAN national anthem to write to.
This opens up much for debate, and to talk about, its something I'm very passionate about, why wouldn't I be, I was born on this fine patch of holy land. I don't wish to get into the politics and religion of it all because everyone has their beliefs of what should be, but at the cusp of time we find ourselves in, where by the day talk of a revolution once again happening is fresh in the air. Also in the air is a lot of tears, blood and corruption, but when in Iran has this not been the case? Our history in more immediate times has been horribly tragic, our oil effectively stolen by the west, heads of state in the pocket of others and all of this lunacy.
However with time and a crescendo of both corruption and revolutionary spirit, many have belief that something may well just happen.............but will it be right for Iran?
I often debate with my mother about this, and say, YOU WERE THE ONE'S WHO BROUGHT THEM IN, and she'd tell me that I don't understand, how they used sweet words, and the hearts of the people, they believed them and so forth. I can respect we are a deeply religious people, however, I don't see how any of their sweet words would have in practicality brought about better times, such as the promise of free oil which was never delivered.
Another point I make to her is, look all around the world, past and present, any government which allowed religion and politics to marry was corrupt, so even precedence would not support a religious government. When the governance of humanity is their spirituality then we should have even more of a right to ask for a revolution as a collective, because with such power allows complete control, of mind body and soul, it is a marriage of heaven and hell and where anything is possible.
"I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And after many days my Soul return'd
And said, "Behold, Myself am Heav'n and Hell." - Omar Khayyam
You see if we do contain such a thing, then putting such power in the hands of one is really asking for anything to be possible, and much for this reason the people wanted a revolution. What I find the strangest about the whole concept of the "revolution" which happened 31 years ago is this, they got what they wanted, moved in and no structures were changed, only the names of the roles. For example, the Kings powers became the 'Supreme Leader's power, why shed so much blood and exert so much energy to simply give all of that power which corrupts absolutely again to merely one man? Or of men who have a very similar mind state, who's vision of hell and heaven all are very similar? Because if you don't like it, you're stuck in another world of heaven and hell which is forced into reality.
I personally went to quite a few protests, I think it was 11, last year when all of this kicked off, but after having men in green tell me where to stand, what to chant, what I can't chant, what I must change, I realised that everyone in this "movement" have their own agenda and many factions of old are acting as old, moving towards alias which suit them and using the voice of the average Iranian who is infuriated by the situation of their country, but uncertain of the future. What would be tragic is if the peoples name is once again abused, to bring around more "change" that is not needed nor wanted. This is my greatest fear, my fear is not for the people of Iran because they are mighty with strong hearts, many flood the streets in the hope for freedom, risking their livelihoods, lives and loved ones all for country and the betterment of their community. In the Supreme Mathematics of The Nation Of Gods and Earth, it is the knowledge of GOD which brings about the question, shall one build or destroy?
We now sit on a time where the spirituality of the people has risen to a level that their knowledge of such things is very strong, God and revolution is in the hearts of man, with this, what we see on the street in my mind proves the mistakes that the Islamic Republic of Iran have brought to Islam, because what has happened over the last 31 years, especially the first 10 years, and last 2, was anything but in God's name. So the question is, shall the people of Iran build with the current government or DESTROY? reform or revolt?
We are human and we do make mistakes, such as bringing these monkey's into power in the first place, although I do agree that a state run by a clearly Masonic figure such as The Shah would not be well advised, Iran is a strong independent country which brought much to the world, steeped in history, we have a vast well of inspiration we can take from this to build a brighter future.
With knowledge that together we can build heaven or hell, I think that today would be a good day for a prayer to all those in Iran who are fighting God's war, in their minds, hearts and with every brave action they take, in the past present and future. It is an accumulation of faith which will bring around such change, I say a prayer for that time, that we don't make the same mistakes, that we don't follow people with hellish thoughts in their minds, but the brave who want a brighter future for themselves, their loved ones and the children of Iran's future. I randomly searched the tomb of Khomeni today, only to find out that it was still being built, something I wasn't aware of, the cost of this project, $2 Billion. I remember one of the main points of the Shah wasting money was a parade for his anniversary, however I can never imagine that he spent that much money on such a thing. $2billion for a man who came in, started a war, killed 2 million people, broke all his promises and so on. Just a random thought I had about it when I saw it, what is scary is that I've seen others from other countries such as Pakistan praise this man and many may even see him as some form of massiah or pivotal religious figure who saved the world from American imperialism, ignoring all the darker aspects and the millions who's lives lost and changed for the worst in what seems like an eternity.
Feel free to add, I haven't quite delved into this one because there is much to talk and debate about, such as Iran's history, the rule of law, how these things should impact a future Iran, what lessons have been learned that we can take forward, because the vibe now is when not if!
Please note the picture at the top of the page does not depict my political stance, only to display the original flag of Iran, the distant past, and how the past will help us ensure that tomorrow will be a brighter day, much like Ferdowsi The Great believed.
Peace,
Ferdowsi Tusi
