I hope you are doing well; I am also fine.
Before saying anything else, I sincerely congratulate you and Mrs. Rita on Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. I also wish you a New Year filled with blessings, health, and scientific discoveries from the Almighty. I hope that this year, our joint efforts will pave the way for proper treatment and recovery for people worldwide, and over time, we can create a suitable highway from the world of addiction to the world of health. I am confident that with God's help and support, this is a task that will undoubtedly be accomplished.
This week, the weekly topic for Congress 60 was "The Foundation of Congress 60." It has been 27 years since the end of my DST treatment, and I extinguished the candle of my 27th new birthday this week.
This week, all members of Congress 60 discussed the formation of Congress 60 to ensure that its oral history is passed down from generation to generation. This serves as a message for newcomers, to let them know that when Congress 60 first began its work, we could not even afford a block of cheese during Ramadan. But today, we own large and significant buildings across the country.
Moreover, on this occasion, the Congress 60 Mini Symphony Orchestra, led by my son Amin, performed several programs, and I will send you short videos of these performances in the coming days.
It’s interesting to note that 90% of the members of the Congress 60 Mini Orchestra, composed of travelers and companions, learned to play instruments and gained musical literacy in Congress 60. These trainings began 3 or 4 years ago under the responsibility of my son Amin.
Other research activities are progressing well, and I will conclude this letter on the occasion of Christmas and the year 2025. In the next opportunity, I will give you detailed updates on the work done so far.
Now, we must also begin a week dedicated to companions—a week when travelers express gratitude to their companions, much like Thanksgiving, but this is about the gratitude of one creation to another.
May you stand tall like the mountains,
Your eternal friend and brother on earth and in heaven,
Hossein
