The fourth session of the fourth round of Congress 60’s workshop in Goojan branch of Congress 60 was held by Mrs. Marjan, an Agent of Congress 60, as the guest speaker, Ms. Behnaz as the master of the ceremony and Ms. Somaye as the secretary on May 1, 2023, at 4 p.m. The agenda was “the Celebration of Guide’s Week ”.
Mrs. Marjan’s Speech:
This week is Guide’s Week, and I hope all the guides serving in this position can properly benefit. The science of Congress 60 is a first-hand science, which was firstly created by Mr. Hossein Dezhakam. This science is transferred by the guides to those in need of it. Therefore, the guides have to be fully educated in Congress 60. They have gathered lots of knowledge from Congress 60 meetings and legions, and then they have participated in Preparatory Examinations, after 10 months of their first travel, they get liberated from addiction and they enter their second travel. Now, these members are allowed to take part in Congress 60’s Guidance Exam. After their acceptance, they have to get the approval of the agent and the border guards of their own branch, then they will have an interview and if they are accepted, they will be given a Shawl.
Right now, the shawls are in three colors: orange, pistachio, and dark blue. As they receive their shawls, they can start their service. People who have received the knowledge of Congress 60 and have passed this way, can be the best ones to convey the same knowledge to others. In the travelers’ section, the only people who can transfer this knowledge are those who were once addicted to drugs and now have been liberated from the darkness of addiction. They can use the DST (Dezhakam Step Time) method to help newcomers get rid of the dark. The same holds true for the companions [who have not the experience of consuming addictive drugs but they help their travelers to be liberated from addiction]. The companions who have experienced the darkness of their traveler’s addiction, and have successfully passed and solved it, also take part in the same exam and interview; after their acceptance, they are given a Guidance shawl. Therefore, when a newcomer [whether a companion or drug abuser] enters Congress 60, with the preliminary remarks of the guides, they understand what addiction is and how it has affected them.
What happens to a newcomer upon their arrival? They enter Congress 60 with lots of distress and darkness, they feel uneasy and restless; however, gradually they understand the rules and principles of Congress 60 and they realize Congress 60 as an energetic, calm and disciplined place. After two or three weeks, you can observe changes in them, their style of clothing, behavior, and their communication with other members of Congress 60 are completely different as compared to their previous ones. This signifies that a concordance has been made between their inner and outer self.
Being in the gathering of Congress's 60 members and receiving knowledge leads to the point that their inner self closes their outer self. As they go ahead, due to their constant education, we can observe these changes especially in those who eagerly want changes in their life.
Those who attend legions and are under the training of their guide, become calmer, more optimistic, and more patient. This is only possible via the education provided by the teachers who [were once in the same darkness] and have liberated themselves from the darkness of addiction. Since these guides have tried a lot and successfully have been liberated from addiction, their words are pervasive and effective.
Mr. Amin Dezhakam always mentions for doing anything, human beings need a teacher. Now, we have this opportunity to learn from the knowledge of the guides, the DST method and the education provided in Congress 60. If God forbid, someone does not do their duties, and does not apply whatever they have learned from Congress 60, they will deviate from the path and lose the pervasiveness of their words; that is why we say the position of being a guide is very important.
Finally, I congratulate on this week Mr. Dezhakam, the great Master of Congress 60, Mrs. Ani Dezhakam, Mrs. Kamandar and Miss Shani, and Mr. Amin, the Worldview Teacher. I thank all of them for all their attempts for us. They made our eyes sighted to the things we could not see before. They made our ears listen to the things beforehand we only have heard them. They saved our lives. If we drown ourselves in the knowledge they bestowed upon us and if we value this education, and if we make [our land of life] ourselves ready, to receive this knowledge, undoubtedly we will get better and better.
I have to thank my first guide, Ms. Soudabe Kabir-rezaei, she made my eyes sighted to the things I could not see before. I am also thankful to my Traveler’s guide, Mr. Ali Khoddami. I selected Mrs. Ani as my second guide after Ms. Soudabe left Congress 60. Mrs. Ani always patiently guided me. I am also very grateful to Mr. Amin Dezhakam. I wish all of them to be healthy. I congratulate this week to You, the guides who wholeheartedly are serving in Congress 60. You devote your time and energy to this job. Only God knows how lovingly you are serving and only God knows how important it is for you to help other people.
Thank you very much for listening to me.
