The Origin

The "Origin" is the name given the source of the channelled material received by Canadian businessman Amyn Dahya. Dahya was born to an Indian family of Muslim background living in Arusha, Tanzania, in West Africa, but as a child moved to Mombasa, Kenya, where he grew up. He was sent to Englandfor college, and after receiving his degree in chemical engineering, he moved to Canada. Shortly thereafter he married his wife Karina, and subsequently fathered four children. In 1987 he founded the Casmyn Corporation, a company whose business took Dahya around the world. During his travels he visited his family's homeland in India and discovered firsthand the poverty in which many children were born. He developed a vision of spending his life improving the lives of others, especially children. To that end, in 1992 he founded the Bismallah Children's Fund. In 1993, Dahya began to receive messages from the Origin via automatic writing. The first messages were received when he was awakened in the middle of the night. At a later date he began to hear the messages, which he transcribed. The messages asked him to deliver the content, summarized in a "Statement of Universal Truth," to the world. The Origin is described as the Creator of All Things. Origin is believed to have given human beings all that was necessary for their service to the world, including freedom to act and flexibility to think. The Origin guides humanity and has offered a fundamental guiding principle: "Each of Us is a part of the Creator. Therefore, I am You and You are Me. Together We are Everything." The continued reception of information, at first considered merely a personal event, soon took on more expansive dimensions as Dahya understood that the messages were meant to be broadly shared. He received messages of general significance along with messages for specific groups. The most important of the latter was a set of messages on the nature of the scientific task and the problems currently faced by scientists who do not understand the consequences of their actions for the environment. The first collection of messages from the Origin was released in 1997. Further messages are expected to be released in the future.
