About this listen

In this first episode of Divine Magic: The Doctor Dahesh Chronicles, I — Mario Henri Chakkour — take you back to the beginning: the moment I discovered Raphael Cormack’s academic lecture on Daheshism and, soon after, his book Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age.

What initially appeared to be a promising scholarly exploration quickly raised red flags, as troubling portrayals of Doctor Dahesh began to emerge — portrayals rooted, I would later come to argue, in dubious sources, selective framing, and historical distortions.

This episode lays the groundwork for what would grow organically into a much broader confrontation with Cormack’s narrative. At this early stage, I had not yet uncovered the full documentary record that would later reshape the series — letters, legal documents, sworn statements, promissory notes, and archival materials that dramatically complicate the accusations against Doctor Dahesh. But the first signs were already there.

Drawing from personal experience, eyewitness memory, and direct encounters with Doctor Dahesh himself, I begin challenging the reduction of Daheshism to “occult science” and introduce listeners to a spiritual and philosophical framework far removed from sensationalism. This is not merely a correction of the record. It is the beginning of an awakening — of memory, conscience, and a truth that would 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.
