About this listen

 Welcome to Divine Magic: The Doctor Dahesh Chronicles — the companion podcast to The Daheshist Theory of Reincarnation. I’m your host, Mario Henri Chakkour. In this show, I delve into books, articles, podcasts, and just about any form of media — whether mainstream or obscure — that touches on the life, legacy, and portrayal of Doctor Dahesh, the pen name of Salim Moussa Achi, who passed away on April 9, 1984.StudioView Interactive, LLC Social Sciences Spirituality

    May 26 2025
    In this second installment of Divine Magic: The Doctor Dahesh Chronicles, I — Mario Henri Chakkour, standing on the shoulders of giants — confront one of the most disturbing aspects of Raphael Cormack’s portrayal of Doctor Dahesh: the marginalization of a prophet, and the whitewashing of the regime that persecuted him.

    I begin by examining how Cormack’s book, Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age, leans on biased sources and omits critical context — including the systemic corruption that silenced Daheshists, the weaponization of the press by Lebanon’s ruling elite, and the brutal imprisonment of believers like Marie Hadad.

    Drawing from historical documents, personal testimony, and previously untold stories, I challenge the narrative that frames the Daheshist movement as fringe fanaticism.

    This episode also explores the moral cost of spiritual silence — how complicity, fear, and denial allowed this injustice to fester once more, now resuscitated by a renowned British scholar.

    And for those who think this is merely a historical review — think again. What unfolds here is a test for us all, and a reminder of the far-reaching consequences of smothering a spiritual truth.

    Let this be the beginning of a deeper reckoning — one that will intensify in future episodes as I expose how Cormack’s work relies on a deeply flawed echo chamber of slanderous sources, and a rush to judgment that quotes Doctor Dahesh out of context.

    God willing, the story of Doctor Dahesh is not over. That would be a loss reaching far beyond the Daheshist community.

    Mar 13 2025
    In this first episode of Divine Magic: The Doctor Dahesh Chronicles, I — Mario Henri Chakkour — take you behind the scenes of how I discovered Raphael Cormack’s academic lecture and subsequent book, Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age. What began as a promising scholarly exploration of Daheshism quickly raised red flags as I uncovered troubling portrayals of Doctor Dahesh — mischaracterizations rooted in dubious sources and historical distortions. I lay the groundwork for what will become a broader confrontation with Cormack’s narrative, drawing from my personal experiences, eyewitness accounts, and direct encounters with Doctor Dahesh himself. I also explore how Daheshism, often misunderstood and misrepresented by one modern scholar, offers a profound philosophical and spiritual framework — one far removed from the sensationalism of “occult science.” This is not merely a correction of the record — it’s an awakening. Of memory, of conscience, and of a spiritual philosophy now apparently dismissed as occult curiosity. This is the story of how truth begins to rise — one episode at a time.
