Everyone and everything in the universe has a story. Our individual and collective stories shape our lives and societies. Our stories can make us fly like a butterfly or crawl like a caterpillar. They can make us unite or divide. We are one people sharing one planet and one future. The global issues of our times cannot be addressed if we are divided. We need a new collective and unifying story. In Search of an Everlasting Butterfly is about letting go of our personal, local, and global old stories to one born anew; an everlasting Butterfly story, a transformational journey toward an everlasting balance and harmony. The time has come for an inward transformation toward an inner freedom from all disunifying conditionings, concepts, and old cultural stories that have been wrought in our minds, hearts, and souls. It is time for a new era and an everlasting Butterfly story that bring universal harmony, balance, and love. In search of an everlasting Butterfly, I have been telling myself the following stories which I would like to share with you.

The purpose of this book is about personal, local, and global transformation toward understanding the root causes of our problems, living in harmony with our-self, one another, and the planet. And more specifically, it is about freedom from all our habits and concepts which bring inner and outer ill feelings, hatred, conflicts, and wars. It is about developing new habits and concepts which bring inner and outer justice, harmony, and peace, and discovering how to solve our personal, local, and global problems more justly, cooperatively, peacefully, and intelligently. The visible and invisible light, love, and life in the universe are the sources of my inspirations. During my life journey, the interactions of my light with nature and humans generated many images. The eyes of my soul captured these images. And the tongue of my soul expressed them with philosophical, scientific, and poetic words in this volume, FROM DISCORD TO HARMONY: A Personal, Local, and Global Journey. This journey is about transformation of the human race into harmony with one another and with the natural world. This journey takes you through Valley of Discord, Valley of Concepts, Valley of Conditioning, Valley of Discovery, Valley of Understanding, Valley of Awareness, and Valley of Harmony. In each valley you see wild flowers, thorns, birds, bushes, trees, broken branches, springs, and jewels. I hope this journey brings joy to your heart. I hope that, as you walk through these valleys, you find one or two jewels. And I especially hope that this book helps you to discover your own Jewels.

The Songs of My Heart is about songs of my falling in love, longing, breaking, remembering, knowing, loving, and transcending heart. There is a universal message in everything That expresses beauty of Love In ten-thousand different ways; A flower opens its heart to show its beauty, A lover recites poems for his Beloved, A rose garden makes a nightingale sing. Compatibility between two people is a function of their conditions, chemistries, characters, beliefs, values, views, interests, and intellects. Two compatible hearts bond together effortlessly. The strength of this bond can increase or diminish over time. It all depends on the compatibility. Our compatibilities change over time and so are our relationships. But during the journey of inner-love, we pass through valleys of pain and pleasure, valleys of sorrow and joy, valleys of separation and union, valleys of conditional love and unconditional love, and ultimately to the mountain top of cosmic Love. At the top, all we see is beauty and oneness. But it will be wonderful to travel this journey with a companion or a friend and share the experience.
