Last Friday; I was invited for lunch by someone whose 1
month old daughter I revived some 30 years ago. I always find reasons to
decline his invitation since I returned to this town. The last time I accepted
his invitation was 24 years ago fortunately; one of the old Betamax tapes I was
able to convert recently to digital format was the one containing the video I
took inside his house. He was very happy when I gave him the USB containing the
few minutes of recording of him, his children and the town.
His daughter is the one whose story I wrote in my book. She
was pronounced dead 3 times by the Egyptian doctor on night duty and 3 times
from my apartment few blocks away; I came to the hospital and revived her. When
he came to get the body of his dead daughter; I told him his daughter is alive
not dead and will probably go home in 2 days and for that – he is endlessly
grateful to this day.
She is now married with a son and a daughter.
In year 2000; I left Saudi Arabia for good. Because everything
I tried failed; I was forced to return to Saudi Arabia. I have been looking for
an answer ever since I returned in 2005. When I met the husband of the girl I
revived 30 years ago and her 2 beautiful children – I found the answer.
I realized I am here not only to fulfill my own destiny; I
am here to help fulfill the destiny of many others. We are a multitasking
creatures living in a matrix interdependent upon each others to fulfill our
destinies. It is being like a single knot, each and every one of us in the universal
web of life. We only differ in our degree of involvement. The key to being at
peace with oneself is the acceptance of our own fate and the fate of others
especially of those that we love whether it is to our liking or not. I found it
to be true that we don’t create our destinies; we just help each others to
fulfill them. For instance: regardless of how we perceive Adolf Hitler; he is
one man whose acts helped to fulfill the destinies of hundreds of millions of
others – heroes and villains. In the matrix; he is only a tiny fleck in the
bigger scheme of things. Comparatively; Hitler is no greater evil than Emperor
Constantine who is likewise a mass murderer, who killed his wife by boiling her
in water, murdered his own brother and two brother-in-laws but because he
unified the church in the Council of Nicea and made Christianity the official
religion of the Empire – the Church canonized him as a saint. Huh! Believe it
or not; his acts likewise helped to fulfill the destinies of billions of the
living and the dead.
