After realizing the 72 paths of religion are fables, where does a true seeker turn for answers? This episode of RESTART introduces the original "Restart" program: Attar of Nishapur's masterpiece, The Book of Affliction. We follow a determined seeker on the ultimate quest for the 73rd Path as he decides to bypass all earthly authorities and go straight to the top of the cosmic hierarchy. He approaches the archangels themselves—Gabriel, the trusted messenger of divine revelation, and Israfil, the trumpeter of doom. Instead of finding a guide, however, he is met with a shocking confession of their own pain, limitation, and ignorance.

This is the systematic deconstruction of all false authority. If the angels who stand in God's presence admit they do not know the way, what does that say about the priests, mullahs, and rabbis who merely claim to speak for them? This episode uses Attar's genius to prove that the path to truth is not found by appealing to a celestial chain of command. It reveals a God so immense that even His most powerful servants are still searching, and a path so exclusive that no one—not even an archangel—can walk it for you. This is the foundation you need before we ask the next, even more dangerous question: can the prophets themselves show us the way?

Have you ever felt your prayers are directed at nothing, like making love to a pillow? This episode of RESTART addresses the spiritual crisis that emerges when you realize the God you pray to is an idol of your own imagination. We explore why the mystics consider this act of worshipping a mental image to be a "mortal sin," and why your own religion's rules put you in an impossible catch-22: you are told you need permission from a "source of emulation" to pray, but who is the one valid source among the 72 false paths? This episode validates your spiritual confusion and proves that it is the first sign of waking up from a collective delusion.

Here, we deliver the mystics' shocking answer. The only valid permission to pray comes from the one "Perfect Man" of the age—the true Noah with the one true ark. Following any other authority is not just void; it is actively helping the enemies of truth. Guided by a devastating verse from Rumi, we reveal that the true "unbeliever" is not the atheist, but the pious worshipper who loves the "artifact" (rituals, empty prayers) instead of the living "craftsman." This episode will force you to stop your rituals not out of despair, but out of a newfound respect for reality. Before you can be saved, you must first stop sinning.

We spend our lives trying to please a God whose personality we do not know, like an employee flattering a CEO they've never met. Our well-intentioned prayers may even be insults. This episode of RESTART puts this dilemma to the ultimate test with a radical thought experiment: What if God is not a loving father, but an unfeeling, scientific force like the acceleration of gravity—a power that shows no favoritism and will smash your mother's head on the pavement with the same cold indifference it shows to everyone else? This question leads us to the story of Noah, a prophet who believed he had a sacred promise from God to save his family, only to watch in horror as his own son was swallowed by the flood.

Here, we explore God's shocking response to Noah's grief: "He is not of your family." Guided by the piercing insight of Rumi, we reveal the true mystical meaning of this event—a lesson that shatters the very concept of holy bloodlines and inherited salvation. This episode proves that in the court of the true God, spiritual alignment, not family name, is what defines your worth. You will discover why the humble donkey that obediently boarded the ark held a higher station than the prophet's own defiant son, and why the 73rd Path requires you to abandon all notions of privilege to stand before the unfeeling truth of the divine.

In the pyramid of religion, there is no one higher than the Prophet who speaks directly with God. But what if their own holy book contained a story that shatters that entire pyramid? This episode dives deep into one of the most explosive and unexplained stories in the Quran: the journey of Moses, the "Speaker with God," as he becomes a student to a mysterious figure whose wisdom he cannot comprehend. We analyze the Quranic verses where this master, the true Sufi, commits acts that seem sinful to the Prophet, proving that the laws of religion do not apply to those who understand the secret reality of the universe. This story is the master key to Rumi's code and the undeniable proof that a power exists above and beyond prophetic law.

This isn't just a story; it is a direct challenge to 1400 years of clerical authority. If a prophet of Moses's stature was told "You will never be able to bear with me," what does that say about those who merely claim to interpret his words today? We reveal that this mysterious figure—the Perfect Human—represents the 73rd Path, the destination that all prophets must seek before their mission can begin. This episode explains why true mysticism (Erfan) is not a branch of religion, but the very root from which religion grows, and why the journey to God requires leaving the familiar world of rules and embarking on Noah's Ark into the unknown sea of the soul.

The world’s wars, its conflicts, and its suffering all stem from a fight over a single entity: God. Yet, the God that 99% of the world prays to, fights for, and donates in the name of is a complete fabrication—a counterfeit being born of fantasy, supposition, and illusion. This episode directly challenges you to ask: When you pray, who is actually listening? When you give to charity for "the pleasure of God," who cashes the check? We argue that your connection to the divine has been hijacked. The God you inherited from your parents is a "transferred" god, downloaded without investigation, and the prayers you send are being lost in transmission, because He isn't at the address you've been given.

This is the intervention. RESTART is here to kill the impostor god and introduce you to the God of the mystics—the God of Rumi, Saadi, and the 73rd Path. This is not a being you can please with ritual, but a Truth you can only access through investigation. We reveal that the only way to connect with the authentic divine is through a "Perfect Human," a spiritual postman who knows the correct address and can deliver your soul's message. This program will re-engineer your reality by proving that before you can practice any religion, you must first find the real God. Anything less is worship of an idol.

What if the first step to becoming a true prophet was to abandon the religion of your parents? This episode confronts the single most uncomfortable and unanswered question in religious history: why did men born into holy lineages—destined to speak for God—radically change their path? We examine the irrefutable historical evidence that Jesus, despite his immaculate background, sought out a wilderness mystic named John to be baptized into a new way. We then uncover the lost years of Moses, who, after declaring himself spiritually lost, spent seven years as a servant to a mysterious Sufi guide named Shu'ayb before ever seeing the burning bush. These are not anomalies; they are the blueprint.

This is the hidden key to the 73rd Path. The journey to divine connection is not through imitation, but through active investigation—a process so powerful it requires leaving your inherited faith behind to find a living Master. Using the concepts of Rumi and the direct words of the holy books themselves, Host Hosseini proves that established clergy are unqualified to speak on the core Principles of Religion, as they are stuck in the world of imitation. This episode demonstrates that true faith doesn't begin with piety; it begins with the courage to become disgusted with fables and start the search for truth all over again. Welcome to Restart.

The history of God you’ve been told is a fable, a story told by 72 warring nations who, like blind men describing an elephant, have only given you a piece of the truth. This has led to a collective "spiritual cancer," leaving seekers to wander in a maze of conflicting dogmas. This podcast unlocks the Unspoken History of God by daring to ask the one forbidden question: What did the prophets do before their revelations? We investigate why Jesus abandoned his tradition to be baptized by a wilderness mystic, and why Moses spent years in service to a mysterious guide named Shu'ayb before he ever spoke to a burning bush. The answer to this question changes everything.

The answer is the 73rd Path—the timeless way of the mystic, which demands active investigation over blind imitation. It reveals that the true spiritual path begins not by inheriting a religion, but by finding a living guide—a Perfect Human. Guided by the explosive wisdom of masters like Rumi and Plato, host Hosseini acts as a translator, decoding their teachings to provide a cure for spiritual sickness. This is not just a history lesson; it's a personal intervention designed to dismantle false realities and give you the tools to finally see the whole picture. Welcome to Restart.

We are told to follow the prophets. But what path did the prophets themselves follow before their revelations? What did Muhammad do in the cave to see Gabriel? How did Jesus and Moses prepare to speak with God? This is the one question that no religion answers, and it holds the key to everything. In Restart, we explore the pre-revelation path—the true religion of the mystics. Join us to move beyond dogma and discover the actions that lead to true spiritual sight.

Have you ever felt that there is a deeper truth hidden behind the words of the world's religions and philosophies?

The Re-Start podcast takes you on a journey beyond the familiar, into the heart of Persian mysticism. We challenge 99% of what you've been taught by exploring the radical, often suppressed, teachings of masters like Rumi, Hafez, Saadi, and Khayyam. This is not another academic lecture or a feel-good summary of their most famous quotes.

This is a deep dive into "the elephant in the dark house"—an exploration of a "new religion" or a hidden path that the mystics spoke of, one that lies beyond books, sermons, and intellectual argument. We argue that to truly understand, you must move from "chatter and argument" to "passion and ecstasy."

Join us as we decode the verses, challenge the established interpretations, and seek a truth that cannot be found on Google, but only in the silence of true listening. This is Rumi-ology for the brave, the curious, and those who are ready to "Re-Start" their understanding of spirituality, the universe, and themselves.

In a world divided by religion, politics, and ideology, one path remains that all of humanity must explore: Mysticism (Erfan). I am Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, and after 500,000 minutes of work, this is the program I was born to create.

Restart is not just a podcast; it's a critical investigation into the nature of existence. Here, we challenge everything you think you know. We will prove that established religion, science, and academic knowledge are not the paths to true understanding but are merely small branches of a greater reality. The answers we seek are not found in books or doctrines but in the profound wisdom of the great mystics—Rumi, Attar, Sanai, and Hafez.

This program is a journey beyond the 72 nations of belief and disbelief, a deep dive into the 73rd path—the path of the true Self. I will be your guide, but the journey is yours to take. It is incumbent upon every person on this planet to listen. Join me, and together, let's Restart.
