My name is Elaheh (Ellie) Roozdar.
I am a happily married woman for 24 years. My husband's name is Habib. He is the love of my life. God blessed us with two beautiful children, Sepideh 21, and Bruce 15 years old.
I have a MA Degree from SUNY At Stony Brook. Have been a math teacher in High school and community colleges.
I have also been in Information Technology as a Quality Assurance Manager for many years.
Since year 2001, I have been inspired by Dr. Parry Sabahat who is truly a great teacher in the path of spirituality. The purpose of this path was:
1) To get to know who I am
2) To find what I am searching for (which was a true authentic Joy that I remember from somewhere)
For the past two years, I have had wonderful experiences by going within, meditating and discovering the answer of both questions.
I would like to share this experience with you.
I hope by reading my path, you also get excited to go within and "discover" who you really are and also find the true inner joy that resides within you. This is a discovery and not to become anyone or anything. Remember: Joy is already there, we just need to uncover it.
We learn to go within and to be a witness of the "nothingness or awareness" We call this "Adaam" or "Lamakan" in Farsi.
It will be very scary at the beginning. All our life we want to be somebody and add something to ourselves and now we will face "nothingness." We realize that we are this "nothingness." This pure emptiness and silence under the noise of our chattering mind.
The "nothingness" or "Adaam" is one side of the coin, since on the other side, everything arises from this "nothingness" such as our peace, joy, intelligence, and creativity. They all come from this inner space of pure silence and nothingness. This is very paradoxical.
By doing so, not only we discover that we are that pure authentic peace and love, but also the true joy is coming from there. It is residing there and we could feel it at any time.
For the first time, we feel the freedom and at peace to be "Home".
We have been given the wonderful opportunity to be alive and live this life and it is such a loss not to find and feel this wonderful mystery in our hearts.
I wish you all the patience and best of luck on this path. Please know that this is the best thing and the most important thing that you can do for yourself. You will be happy that you took time and discover your true self.
Love and light!
Ellie Roozdar
