Haleem Dammous (d. 1954) was one of the most famous poets of Lebanon, in the early to mid 20th century. In Lebanon, the poets were like rock stars in the U.S. Haleem Dammous was the most popular and famous poet of his day. He could draw crowds of thousands as he recited his poetry, in a sort of musical rhyme. In 1843, the best friend of Haleem Dammous was Yusuf al-Hajj; a Paris educated Muslim lawyer. Yusuf told Haleem about a "Worker of Miracles" he knew, called Doctor Dahesh, who performed supernatural miracles. Dammous, who was a nominal Christian, did not believe it, but was willing to see for himself. Yusuf al-Hajj took Haleem Dammous to meet Dahesh, and Dahesh performed several supernatural miracles in front on him. Haleem was astounded, and then invited Dahesh to his own home on evening for dinner. After dinner, the men began to speak of the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, if the story was true or just fable. Dahesh explained the story was a parable, but based upon a real man and a real woman. He identified the first Adam in the book of Genesis with Adapa (aw-daw-paw), the first priest of the first king of Eridu, the first city of the Sumerians. Adapa was not the first man, but the first man with a God-breathed soul. Haleem said that he believed in Adam and Eve as a child, but since he became a man he no longer believed in the story. Then Doctor Dahesh went to the window of Haleem's home, and looked out at the Moon. Haleem Dammous writes what happened next:
August 1, 1942 – The First Miracle : The Appearance of the Extra-Terrestrial — A Discussion "We were three at my home in Ras-Beirut: Doctor Dahesh, Brother Yussef El Hajj, and me. It was ten o'clock at night when Doctor Dahesh rose and approached the window ... and here, he gazed at the moon. That's when we heard a subtle murmur reaching our ears. And, lo and behold, a light mist materialized before us and began to shrink, to compress, and to diminish until it revealed a man whose face was red and whose form was amazing and whose face sparkled as if it were the surface of a mirror. His size was similar to ours. He approached us and began to speak to us at a mind-boggling speed, but in a tongue completely foreign to what we were familiar with. And in our turn, we asked him to express himself in Arabic — we asked if he could do so, because we were unable to understand a single word of what he was saying. That's when Doctor Dahesh approached him, put his hand on his mouth ... he immediately began to express himself in Arabic and in a very clear fashion. And he said,
"I am the inhabitant of one of these Worlds that are inaccessible to your human eyes. Once, I was an inhabitant of your planet — and that was thousands of years ago. And — what you refer to as — 'Death' befell me … but in reality, death is none other than a passage from one World to another, from one condition into another. For as soon as I permanently closed my eyes in your planet, leaving behind my body as food for earthworms, I found myself in a world of sublime beauty. If you ask the question, 'How come we, the living and the inhabitants of this planet are not capable of seeing you — you, who have abandoned your material body and now wear a transparent Spiritual body?' My answer would be that the explanation would require many volumes and that I would have to remain with you for many long hours — which is not possible because, and already, the hour to leave you is almost upon us. Nevertheless, I will explain a fact and supply you with proof. And here is, then, the explanation: Each human being possesses two bodies: One material and the other Spiritual. As for your Material World, it possesses vibrating waves, similarly to the Spiritual World which also possesses vibrating waves that are unique to it. But the difference — from the point of view of the speed of vibration — between the vibrating waves of the Material World and that of the Spiritual World is huge. The speed of the vibrating waves in your Material World is far lesser than the speed of the vibrating waves in the Spiritual Worlds. When (what is commonly referred to as) death occurs in your world, the spiritual body — which represents the second portion of your personal entity— separates from the material body and rises until it reaches the World whose vibrating waves are identical to its own. That is why it is impossible for you to perceive this spiritual body because the organ of sight is under the influence of your material world whose vibrating waves are too slow by comparison to the Spiritual World — and to the speed of the vibrating waves in this spiritual body, thus the impossibility to see anything whatsoever. As for the proof, and in order to simplify the problem, and so that you are in a position to better understand it, I will give you this following example: Imagine you are standing upright, on any street ... and that a car passes right before you, rolling at great speed. It will pass you without your being able to identify the passengers that were inside the car ... and that is due to its staggering speed. But, if it is given to you to climb inside another car, and follow it until you are able to catch up with it — at which point you would be riding side by side, regardless of speed — you would be able to perceive those who are inside the other car ... just as they would be able to see you — since both your speeds are now identical. Likewise, the same can be said about our ethereal world. You will not be in a position to perceive it with your eyes that remain subject to the laws of matter and with these vibrations that are far slower than the waves of our Spiritual World."
We asked him a few questions and received — for each question — an adequate answer. He took leave of us and began to dissipate little by little before us until he disappeared completely. His vanishing was as extraordinary as his appearance had been incredible." (Haleem Dammous,The Daheshist Chronicles, Volume One)
The Daheshist Chronicles are still in Arabic, and only brief excerpts have been translated into English. One day, the entire series of 30 volumes will be translated into England and other major world languages.
Hundreds of other eye-witnesses also wrote similar things, of the supernatural miracles performed by Doctor Dahesh, and published their testimonies in books or, most often, in Lebanese newspapers of the day.
When the Assyrians conquered the Sumerians, they found their writings, and eventually a few Assyrian scholars were able to read Sumerian, and they wondered about this ADAPA, who came from heaven. But the word ADAPA (wise man) in Sumerian did not mean anything in Assyrian, so the Assyrians translated the name ADAPA into ADAMA: which means "red soil".
If you read the Book of Genesis, you will read about two creates of Adam: the first with no Eve and no Garden, and the second with an Eve, a Garden, and a Serpent. The first Adam was Adapa of Eridu. The second Adam was the "return" or reincarnation of Adapa, in the person of an Egyptian Pharaoh, who lived in a walled Garden, called the Garden of Maru-Aten, and married a Princess. And there was a "forbidden tree" planted in the garden (torn apple bush), which, if eaten, caused hallucinations (visions). In the Garden of Maru-Aten there were fruit trees of all kinds, and a small zoo. But that's another story.
In 1975, Doctor Dahesh came to the United States, and moved to New York City, where He remained until His death in 1984. In January 1977, He visited Los Angeles for 3 days, and one of those days He visited the Los Angeles Zoo. I happened to be there that day, and saw Him face to face; although we did not actually "meet". I had no idea who He was. He KNEW who I was. I believe that His spirit visited me in 2005, to my home in Lakewood, Washington State, USA, during a lightening storm. This was in the afternoon, in daylight.
