I met Romi, a seeker of the Law of One in Louisville, Kentucky in 1994. He became my best friend and remains so ever since. In his presence I feel I can seek the deepest and the most ridiculous corners of my being, or I can simply be myself. What a gift! I think everyone needs a friend in whose presence they can be totally free and most genuinely themselves. This is the gift of a friend.
Thank you Romi for helping me with my Seeking to become whole and most truly myself. You have been a gift in my life ever since I met you. As a Seeker we've been asking life's formative questions : 'Why am I here? What am I to do with my life?' Romi is dedicating his life now to look after his mother. I am organising the Earth Healing Gathering in Tatvan. Both services to our other beloved selves.

It has been such a pleasure for me to meet up with Romi, my friend of 22 years in Prague. We walked to the old castle and the observation tower.
I asked him in great details about his escape experience from his homeland back in the 80's. He told me his story. He wanted his personal freedom. He left everything cherished and familiar behind, pushed into the great unknown beyond, in search of his freedom. He found it at last in the great continent of America. At last he brought his freedom back home with him, and we walked with great ease and pleasure through Prague. His Holiness the Pope John Paul II, had been the only person who mistook me to be from Ireland instead of from Iran, when I introduced myself. Years later when I did a workshop in a monastery in Sligo in the Republic of Ireland I happened to share this story with the monks there. I also happened to share that my son's ancestors are from Sligo in Ireland. Upon hearing this, the chief monk gazed at me insightfully as if looking at the infinite mysteries of the inner realm. He told me that the Pope is a very insightful man. Perhaps he could see something in the distant future that I could only take as a mistake then due to my limited understanding. I really enjoyed the monk's twist on my take of the story. In other words time changes everything, even the stories we take as the most absurd mistakes could become the most profound truths.
