I will fear not the end for there will be eternity
No matter how much I miss those gone
I Know that the truth is one
I ask for answers and so does everyone
But dimension after dimension we exist
I long to hold those I miss, to know they are well
They are dimensions beyond and maybe have a better view
I try to look within those dimensions
And all I see is that we are surrounded
By a mystery not a spark of genius can explain
But a hunch, a feeling that is part of a dimension where I exist
It is me in a dimension and them in the next
As I move and ascend I might know
It is but only a world transcending
As I move consciously towards the next
Dimension after dimension I may learn to navigate, discovering that we exist in a common world moved by differences, perceived by some as unknown, but known by some as dimensions beyond dimensions
“In memory of my loved ones who crossed over, who I cherish and long to hold every day and to know they are well even in the beyond”

Dr. Zogheib was diagnosed with ALS in 2008 that left him completely confined, unable to move a muscle except his eyes. His determination, and love for life, since his diagnosis, hasn’t stopped him from constantly teaching, inspiring, and motivating people, or from even continuing his practice and following up with his patients through his Facebook page, ensuring his loyal followers get his free professional advice and support.

This piece is a tribute to the amazing person he is, whose will to live and share his experience with us, is beyond what we can imagine. It is true, Dr Jamil Zogheib has been confined; yet, his willpower and his beautiful soul have been traveling far beyond, delivering great expressions, and powerful words written through his eyes, using Tobbi’s Eye Tracker, where he has published 9 books so far, “My Life, My Story”, “ Tips for children Health”, “Memories of a Paralysed”, “Living in Silence and Immobility” to mention some, and conducted seminars worldwide through Skype, and he has also initiated an ALS group in Lebanon to help raise awareness and action to this disease.

He recently requested that his story be told in a documentary ” Jamil a Flying Soul” which was instigated and produced with the support of Mrs Karen Bustany, who according to his words, has made his wish come true, the documentary was produced by the talented Mr. Habr and Mrs. Khoury, the screening was held in NDU (Notre dame university in Lebanon) on 19th December 2014, with the objective of spreading it internationally.
Dr Jamil Zogheib story is beyond phenomenal, it is about celebrating life and overcoming pain and disease, it is about empowerment and love, it is about humanity and spirituality, it is about being a free soul no matter how confined one is, and how malignant a disease can be, it is the story of a hero who is writing “humanity” in a whole new way, overcoming all odds, and in the true essence of the saying, “The eyes are the window to the soul”.
What if today was the beginning of spring and the end of my Gypsy soul journey?
What if tomorrow is winter and the beginning of my adventure?

What if today, I truly find peace and tomorrow,
I will be remembered for my lost days, my lonesome trips, my plea for love?
What if I land in a place where I am not left alone, where every creature knows how to love,
where family is not a word, where sadness is non existent.
Today, I long for eternity.
I want to go back, I am ready.

What if life, will forgive me and I can be set free, to a place that knows no time, no pain, no fear, no hate, no commitment except that of love, of giving and of mastery.
Today, I am ready to go back,
and leave that memory.
Seduce me, why don’t you,
Capture my mind with your intelligence,
Stimulate me with your knowledge,
Take me with you,
Let’s mark a spot in this universe.
You are such an enigma.
Gypsy soul: You are such an Enigma
Seduce me why don’t you,
Love me, for who I am,
Let’s travel together, to that unnoticed destination and make the ocean fall in love with us,
and the waves, oh those waves, cover our souls and revive our stories…

Seduce me, why don’t you,
Let this moment stand still and our hearts rejoice,
Love me, for who I am,
Let’s colour the clouds with our breaths,
The sky will feel jealous, the stars will unite and the moon, oh that lovely red blood moon, will cry…

Seduce me, why don’t you,
I will love you, for who you are,
Truth be told,
I was being caught, Held up in two worlds,
Tried to fight, but then I realized,
I will only win if I surrender.
light in darkness
I gave it all I could,
I tried all I can,
I prayed to all, but I was still standing in that point,
That point of no return.
Years passed by until I found that a warrior is a winner no matter how,
It was lack of faith, abandonment and hate that caused this feeling of defeat.
A teacher told me the other day,
Surrender is the key to winning back your life and continuing your unexplored journey,
Just look out for the signs.
surrender to miracles
Surrender and let it be,
Surrender and you will see,
Surrender to life,
And give faith a chance,
Believe yourself a winner in such circumstance
And so it shall be.
Yogi Bhajan “when the time is on”
Surrender like a hero, show up, stand up,
Trust in that miracle,
Surrender to your dream,
Make room for it to manifest,
Surrender, fight with life, not against it
Trust and you shall see,
The light within you will shine past the fields, across the sea,
Glistening like crystals, outshining any dark stuck from that past.
Surrender, surrender, surrender,
And win the fight,
Life is fair and you shall see it all,
Unfolding like a miracle which you once thought is hard to behold.
Trust, surrender, love and ignite,
You are the winner after all!
There is a wave of warmth,
Approaching as we wait,
I know it is taking time to manifest,
But can you hear the cold melting?
Can you feel the breeze of love?
Can you touch the colors of freedom?
Dance with the Colors
Listen.
The music is getting closer,
It is a symphony of life,
Wake up from your misery,
The music is loud and clear.
Listen to the Music
Dance, dance, to the rhythm of this trance,
Get in touch with your soul,
Smell the fields of roses,
Watch the butterflies,
Hear the spring,
Bathe in the river,
Touch the sun,
Fly with the eagle.
Dance in the Colors
Listen.
Can you hear the music of freedom,
As it lights up your soul?
Run, run with the wind,
Dance, dance with the fire,
Dance by the Fire
Flow, flow with the rhythm,
Just close your eyes,
And be.
In a book?
In a narration?
In a documentary?
In a poem?
In a movie?
In an act?
In an article?
No.
My story and yours…. is not final,
It is the beginning of a journey to many lands, far, so faraway,
Places so divine that only you and me will know,
Will you Tell My Story?
No.
I am the wind that you breathe,
The heart that beats,
The Love that never ends,
The soul that doesn’t rest .
Will you tell My Story?
No.
There is no story to tell,
Day by day, hour-by-hour you design your life,
You are the story.
Will you tell My Story?
No.
What is to tell?
A story of a beautiful soul, traveling and learning about life and beyond,
A story so divine that only the rare ones will learn,
A story with an open page for equal minds to walk in and share,
A story left blank for you and me to write, what we desire,
A story to paint with musical colors, creating songs of eternal tunes,
A story unlike any other,
Not written,
Not narrated,
Not seen,
A story where you and me live and dance amongst the words of the universe,
A story shining so bright, from the accumulation and synchronicity of our events,
A story of many chapters, yet not one page to tell,
Will you Tell My Story?
No.
Just feel it, with every sign, with every sense, with all your might.
