Zombiism: An Open Letter from Mohammad Ali Taheri PhD., April 25, 2020

In the name of God

Hello and blessings to you all. As I have spoken of before, the world can expect to deal with more viruses that behave in a similar way to the current coronavirus pandemic, as well as other uncontrollable viruses that have been active in the world for quite some time now. However, these viruses will behave in a more highly intelligent manner. These viruses will have the function of preventing humanity from engaging in the current behaviours of endless growth that will ultimately destroy our unique and precious Earth (which is exceptional among the hundreds of known - and millions of unknown - planets). The concept of viruses and their intelligence-duplicating qualities will gradually become more obvious to us. I will discuss the evolution of these qualities later. 

When we come to realize that the divine design and purpose of these beings is to protect the Earth, we will become aware of the philosophy of why these viruses exist in the ecosystem. These pandemics are not the only danger we are facing. We are in a very sensitive, pivotal moment in our earthly journey, where we must make important decisions that will affect our survival now and into the future. Therefore we must familiarize ourselves with the nature of what is to come. Even though having this foresight is not pleasant, it is better to be aware of it. The solution is not to fool ourselves or run away from the truth - the consequences of which we have already seen unfolding. A new pandemic is coming - one that will affect mental health, and have far more extreme consequences than the coronavirus. This will be the first mental health pandemic that humanity has seen.

In its elementary stages, this phenomenon has already begun. Even in this early stage, it may seem unbearable and unreal. However it’s effects will be disastrous, not only threatening our lives, but degrading the value of the human being. Opening this conversation is only intended to help humanity prepare to face this issue (even though there’s no complete prevention possible). We could name this pandemic “Zombiism,” characterized by the inability to restrain one’s own impulses. Naming this after zombies refers to the fantasy story that dead people come to life. But in fact becoming alive in the physical body after definite death is not possible. 

A pandemic that would be threatening for humans in the future is the mental health pandemic of Zombiism, in which the infected individuals would lose control over their behaviour and would commit crimes and other strange activities that do not have any rational justification. In this phenomenon, the infected individuals are not aware of why they commit these acts, nor how they are done. In effect, they are not conscious observers with control over their actions, and are not aware of why they have done what they did. Committing these excessive crimes has multiple defining characteristics that distinguish them from other crimes committed by uninfected individuals in the past:

- No free will of the infected person: lack of willpower and control over actions; being “outside of themselves”
- Unconscious inclination to commit crimes 
- Lack of ability to recognize self or others, including family members and acquaintances - no one is immune to becoming a victim of the infected individual
- Symptoms appear instantaneously upon infection (sudden onset of mental illness)
- Unpurposeful and spontaneous acts without consideration for time, subject, etc.
- Actions lack traceable influence of any particular group or ideology (any correlation is coincidental)
- Actions lack motivation to achieve earthly matters (gaining wealth, reputation, etc.)
- Behaviours are not aligned with, nor carried out for the purpose of achieving the goals of any professional or social group
- Lack of fear, including of death (these people will be killed on the scene in order to save the lives of others)
- Spontaneity and impulsivity (crimes are not premeditated)
- Individual lacks advance awareness that they will become infected (in other words, no one will be able to predict if someone will become infected, creating an unseen fear and horror that will become dominant in society)
- Individual lacks awareness and control over their actions, and after they have committed an act, has no awareness of what they have done, or why (This is assuming that they have survived the incident. This pandemic will motivate everyone to be armed.) 
- Not able to be healed through existing medical or psychiatric interventions
- Lack of correlation between the infected individual’s actions and their previous criminal record, or lack thereof (any correlation would be a coincidence)
- No way to predict who is most susceptible to infection, and no way to identify an infected individual until after they have committed a compelled (without free will) crime, meaning that they cannot be stopped ...

Note: An example of an infected individual can be observed in the film Kingdom of Solomon

However, a lesser type of this mental health problem, which has existed for some time now, is not comparable to the coming intensity of a full-blown pandemic. In the current elementary stage, when we encounter the symptoms of these individuals, we feel that the afflicted individual is not themselves, and they seem like a soulless body. Their eyes shift and they have no stability of character (this state is a weaker version of the full manifestation, and does not include all of the qualities mentioned above). In this elementary stage of this mental health phenomenon, we have observed crimes without a particular purpose or motivation being committed by infected individuals all over the world. Every day, we should expect an increase in the number of these unfortunate and tragic crimes. In the near future, this phenomenon - even in this elementary stage - will cause a huge global problem and raise a red flag for the coming challenges for humanity. As I mentioned above, the primary danger is when the more advanced stages of this mental health pandemic will appear. However, before discussing the reasons behind the infection of this Zombiism, I will provide a general discussion about the precautions that can be taken against it (of course the examination and exploration of this matter is much wider than what it presented here).

Spirituality: The Only Way to Save Humanity

The human being on its own has its meaning and existential definition as a function of self-awareness. It is not a being, like other living beings, that thrives solely on instinct. For human beings, separation from self-awareness and spirituality would bring extremely different consequences than for any other being. 

Ramadan has just begun. This is an opportunity to return to spirituality, reducing the pollution of the physical, mental, and emotional being. With an emphasis on spirituality as the only way to save humanity, it should be clear that it can definitely reduce the problems we will face, even though it’s not a complete prevention. 

Consequently, I suggest again to become harmonious, and in peace with the universe. Don’t only consider the Earth as your home, but also know that the cosmos and whole universe is also your home (concept of Interuniversalism). Today, Earth considers us a failure, but may we not live to see the day when the cosmos does not want us and is ashamed of the existence of humanity. The universe and its elements would stop cooperating with us. Today, we are observing the physicality of the human to be under attack (ex; the COVID-19 pandemic), but tomorrow the mind will be under attack, and events will unfold that will turn the ashraf-e makhlooghot (human being as divine, magnificent creature) into the asfal-e makhlooghot (completely fallen being). But of course, in our ultimate goal, we cannot fail. 

As this path becomes more complicated, it becomes difficult for people who pretend and lie that they are kamal (unity) oriented, and all the sweet dreams of those who are selfish with an inflated ego will be gone with the wind. So, as we still have time, let’s think about the philosophy of our creation and know that this creation is infinitely intelligent. It’s direction is pre-calculated, designed, and engineered. It is essential to have an innate-level comprehension of our true identity and status in the universe. In this way, we will be unified with our collective singular body of the universe and have synchronicity with the ultimate holistic mind of the cosmos. Having synchronicity with this holistic mind can prevent and give more immunity to the emerging challenge that targets the human mind. The synchronicity of the human mind with the ultimate holistic mind, humans are able to have a comprehension of their status in the universe and expect a better future. 

By the grace of God, to be continued…

Wishing you divine grace,
