MegaloPsychia

The Other Cheek of Judaism

By: Rami Elias Kremesti

According to Rami Elias Kremesti, nothing in life is worse than living in ignorance... After many years of living in depression, fear, anxiety, hate and confusion, the author feels he is finally emancipated and enlightened and wants to bring a taste of this sweetness to the reader... In his third book, he talks about the accomplishments of the Jewish people, the same people that were and are still demonized in his home country of Lebanon. Rami was lucky he was able to escape from the toxic milieu of Lebanon after the end of the civil war. Instead of East, he went to the decadent “West” where paradoxically, he tasted the truth in the poetry of Rumi in Los Angeles, which was his home for about six years. There he also met some Jewish people that became his lifelong loyal friends. As Rumi puts it, his soul caught fire... He discovered the meaning of loving one’s enemy and turning the other cheek... You see dear reader, when one tastes divine love, all pettiness, anger, and attachment dissolves... One starts to see unity instead of division... All religions, one praise, as Rumi puts it...In his first book, The Other Cheek of Islam, he reached out to his Muslim brothers. In his second book, For Love of the Sacred Awe, he talks about beauty and aesthetic. In his third one he reaches out to his Jewish brothers.

The other cheek of islam

By: Rami Elias Kremesti

Never in the history of mankind have nations and peoples been so close and yet so far apart. In the age of globalization and digital social media that connect us all, why are nations and races and religions still in conflict? Just fifty miles separate Alaska from Eastern Russia, and yet these great countries are clearly separated by the rift of a cold war. Muslims are slaughtering each other in Syria. Terrorist Shiites that belong to Hezbollah are leaving a tragic scar on the people of Lebanon, a country that has always been a melting pot of different cultures and a beacon of freedom of expression and religious practice. Islamic fundamentalism still cripples many countries, and Africa is mostly a mess, despite its enormous natural resources. Corruption and greed are wreaking havoc on the planet, and the terrible consequences of the stress we are placing on the environment and on wild animals are starting to become undeniably evident. Earth cannot support the exploding human population, yet the global population keeps growing. Relationships between men and women are breaking down, and divorce is at its highest rate ever. What is the common denominator in all this chaos? What is the reason for all this suffering? The answer might be spiritual ignorance. But there’s an antidote to this decadence, and it’s called Rumi. Once you taste Rumi’s passion, you will become a transformed human being, and your soul will be on fire. Rumi’s poetry tries to capture the sweetness and the joy of knowing God, or Allah, or the Truth, or the Infinite Energy. It tries to define and explain the mystery that Life is. And the fire of the Truth burns down all the petty barriers between human beings and their false constructs and idols of pleasure and prestige. Suffering ends when enlightenment begins. Rami Elias Kremesti, was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. To escape the brutality of civil war, as a kid, he used to go fishing and snorkeling. He graduated in Chemistry at the prestigious American University of Beirut (where he blew up the lab a couple of times), minoring in Philosophy and Art Appreciation. In the United States, he earned an M.Sc. degree from UNT. Later, Rami moved to California, where he spent six of the most beautiful years of his life. Here he also worked as a portrait photographer. Polyvalent and with numerous interests and hobbies, Rami is a traveler, polyglot, passionate reader, and amateur farmer. He loves DIY projects and to play the guitar, especially to entertain small children. He’s a talented cook and well versed in recipes from all around the world. He holds Lebanese and Bulgarian citizenship, and he’s currently applying for British citizenship as well. Nowadays, Rami spends his time between the UK, where he works, and Bulgaria, where he loves to spend time with his two beautiful daughters, Krassi and Lulu. He is also an environmentalist and peace activist, founder of the websites BONKA.BG and AMALID.ORG. His photography portfolio is online at http://kremesti.com/Ecce_Photo/

For Love of the Sacred Awe

By: Rami Elias Kremesti

For Love of the Sacred Awe is about a new way or the correct way of looking at beauty in the world. When you realize that this creation, of which we are part, is a work of Love of a highly intelligent Loving Being which believers call God or Jhwh or Shiva, then you experience the sacred awe! Indeed, this is the very definition of beauty: something that has been created out of love. There are a lot of photographers and artists out there with lost souls. They try to be creative and odd to the point of being silly and superfluous, all because they have not realized the ultimate truth: there is a loving creator. As a real artist or photographer, you are participating in the creative process or witnessing and capturing the beauty of the Creation. There is a paradigm shift that happens when you photograph a nude woman with the eyes of a Believer vs. a lustful man seeking self-satisfaction. And God knows we have all experienced that strong physical pull of the lower chakras. When you look at the fascinating beauty and symbiosis that is part of Nature and all its creatures, and realize that all this was created for us human beings, the Crown of Creation, you become humble too… the knowledge behind it is too great to fathom. Living in such a higher spiritual state must be the goal of all human endeavour because anything less is just unfulfilled potential and misery. Rami Elias Kremesti was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in December 1974. He came into the world in Phoenician Canaan, the ancient Land of Milk and Honey, where soon after his birth, the Lebanese civil war broke out. Growing up in a society wrecked by violence, hate and fear, the three blind children of ignorance, Rami was pushed to seek the Truth from a very young age. The physical fear of bombs creates in sensitive people - as Kazantzakis puts it - a disgust of superficial and fake things. His first love was Chemistry: it was the truth of the materialistic world to him. But his escape was the Mediterranean Sea where he went fishing as a teen. There were no spiritual role models or guides to inspire him in Lebanon. So, he fell for Nietzsche and the Existentialists. However, Nihilism was unsatisfactory, and men of science were a disappointment to him, so he kept on seeking and eventually discovered the poetry of Rumi. So, he started to see beauty in the world and experience the Sacred Awe. That is when he picked up a camera and started taking photos. Rami’s exile away from his homeland over the years brought him in contact with all kinds of people from all over the world, lots of savages or barbarians. He fell in love, experienced joy and depression and heart break innocently. All this was preparing him for the Ultimate Love in his Life: Love of the Creator or as the Sufis call it, Fana’a Fi’laah (Annihilation in God). He continues to express this Love through his writing, camera and Love of Nature. Rami keeps looking for living Saints to accompany his journey. His day job in the UK is as water treatment specialist. Protecting nature is his second calling.
