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.
Listener Advisory: Some episodes include historically documented material that touches on sensitive themes such as coercion, moral corruption, and emotional exploitation. These accounts are shared for the sake of truth and justice — not for shock. Listener discretion is advised.
